40 Carrier Remote IPE product description
•
Traffic requirements for lines or trunks are normally specified by a
customer. When it is not specified, the default number of 6 CCS per
line, 26 CCS per trunk, 30 CCS per ACD agent and 18 CCS per data
port can be used.
•
Current digital line card allows 16 voice ports and 16 data ports.
Unused data ports can not be used for voice lines. In other words, an
Integrated Voice and Data line card can support 16 voice lines or 16
integrated voice and data pairs. A port is the generic term for a line,
trunk, or data terminal.
•
A trunk card can provide eight trunk ports.
•
An IPE module can accommodate 16 cards, of which any combination
of cards are permitted.
•
Digitone Receiver (DTR) cards should not be installed into the Carrier
Remote IPE cabinet or the Carrier Remote IPE module due to the
unnecessary use of carrier channels and remote IPE card slots.
•
A Carrier Remote IPE cabinet version of the Carrier Remote IPE
may consist of a 10-slot main cabinet and 6-slot expansion cabinet
providing a maximum or 16 card IPE capacity. There may be cost
advantages to equipping Carrier Remote IPE cabinets in a multi-shelf
configuration, if a cabinet is equipped with no more than 10 cards.
•
All line/trunk cards, card slot and carrier calculations are to be rounded
up to the next higher integer number.
•
Capacity calculations of lines and trunks allowed per carrier should be
rounded down to the next lower number.
•
When several IPE modules or Carrier Remote IPE cabinets are
required in the configuration, it is preferable to fill up the first IPE
module or cabinet card slots until either all slots are filled or the carrier
traffic limit is reached before equipping the second one. This way,
when adding traffic or cards to the partially filled enclosure, the first
module or cabinet will not need re-engineering.
•
When no growth is planned, even distribution of traffic among several
IPE modules or Carrier Remote IPE cabinets is quite acceptable.
•
Carrier Remote IPE cabinet installation guide: (1) 1–10 cards, use a
Carrier Remote IPE cabinet. (2) 11–16 cards, use an IPE module. (3)
17–20 cards, use two Carrier Remote IPE cabinets. (4) 21–26 cards,
use one IPE module and one Carrier Remote IPE cabinet. (5) 27–32
cards, use two IPE modules. Repeat the same rule for additional card
slots required. Of course, the final configuration will also depend on
traffic requirements.
