Engineering procedure
The following procedures determine the system terminal configuration for
determining system traffic capacity.
Given the number of carriers, calculate ports allowed Follow the
steps in Procedure 1 "Calculating the number of ports allowed" (page
41) to calculate the number of ports allowed.
Procedure 1
Calculating the number of ports allowed
Step Action
1 Determine traffic capacity at the carriers.
Read off the CCS number from
calculations" (page 39)
the maximum capacity allowed for that carrier size.
2 Determine the number of lines allowed.
Divide the CCS number by 6 CCS for line or 26 CCS for trunk or
any other numbers provided by the customer.
3 Determine the number of card slots required.
The number of lines divided by 16, the number of trunks divided
by 8 or the number of integrated voice and data lines divided by
32 to obtain the number of card slots required.
An IPE module has 16 card slots. A Carrier Remote IPE cabinet
has 10 card slots.
If the number of card slots is less than or equal to 16 (or 10), the
resulting configuration is within the traffic capacity of the carrier
provided.
If the number of card slots allowed is greater than 16 (or 10),
it means that the carrier can handle more traffic than an IPE
module or Carrier Remote IPE cabinet can generate. When all
16 (or 10) card slots are filled, the carrier may still have spare
capacity for extra traffic.
Given port CCS, determine the number of carriers required. Follow
the steps in Procedure 2 "Determining the number of carriers required"
(page 42) to determine the number of carriers required.
