Introduction

Depending on the applications that run on them, T1100 AS hardware systems are
delivered in one of the following ways:
• Integrated applications
Most applications that run on T1100 AS systems are designed to be integrated
with features that run on a Signal Transfer Point (STP). T1100 AS systems for
these applications run in a Direct Current (DC) environment and are
delivered in one of the following ways:
— For most applications, the initial installation of the T1100 AS hardware
system consists of one or more T1100 AS units, along with breaker panels
and Ethernet communication equipment, already installed by Tekelec
manufacturing in a heavy duty frame.
— Some applications allow a single T1100 AS unit to be added to a heavy
duty frame that has been previously installed and already contains one to
four T1100 AS units. To view the maximum configuration allowed, refer to
the
For more information about these T1100 AS hardware systems, see "T1100 AS
Hardware System" on page 3-2.
• Non-integrated applications
Applications (such as provisioning applications or network management
applications) that do not need to integrate with STP features may not require a
DC environment.
To determine which environments are supported by the applications that run on
the T1100 AS systems, refer to the applications documentation.
This chapter provides an overview of T1100 AS hardware systems in each of the
possible environments and an overview of each of the components that can be
part of a T1100 AS hardware system.
T1100 AS Hardware System
A T1100 AS hardware system consists of the following hardware components,
which are assembled in a heavy-duty frame by Tekelec and delivered as one unit
when first ordered (some applications allow additional T1100 AS units, to a
maximum of six, to be added later):
• Depending on the applications loaded, from one to six T1100 AS units,
identified as A through E, starting with the topmost server identified as A.
Each server consists of T1100 AS hardware that is loaded at the factory with
platform software and application software. Some applications allow each
