T1100 AS Hardware System Overview

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 onT1100 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 theT1100 AS hardware system consists of
one or moreT1100 AS units, along with breaker panels and Ethernet communication
equipment, already installed by Tekelec manufacturing in a heavy duty frame.
Some applications allow a singleT1100 AS unit to be added to a heavy duty frame that has
been previously installed and already contains one to fourT1100 AS units. To view the
maximum configuration allowed, refer to the
For more information about theseT1100 AS hardware systems, see
on page 40.
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.
This chapter provides an overview ofT1100 AS hardware systems in each of the possible
environments. To determine which environments are supported by the applications that run on
theT1100 AS systems, refer to the applications documentation.

T1100 AS Hardware System

AT1100 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 additionalT1100 AS units, to a maximum of six, to be added later):
Depending on the applications loaded, from one to sixT1100 AS units, identified as A through
E, starting with the topmost server identified as A. Each server consists ofT1100 AS hardware
that is loaded at the factory with platform software and application software. Some applications
allow each server to be installed with different application software. (The minimum and
maximum number of servers in the frame depends on which applications are loaded. For an
overview of theT1100 AS units, see
Note: Some applications allow individualT1100 AS units (to a maximum of six per frame) to
be added later.
Breaker Panels (BPs) for DC systems. For an overview, see
