Mcmp; Mcmp With Digital Sharing; Mcmp With Independent Channels - Paradyne 3610 Application Manual

COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data Service Units

MCMP

The MCMP capability provides multichannel
multipoint operation over a 56 kbps DDS multipoint
facility. Figure 4-19 shows an example of channel-to-port
assignments and channel speed selections for MCMP
operation: the 48 kbps user bandwidth supports four
9600 bps channels and two 4800 bps channels.

time. Up to three digital-sharing groups can be formed at
each tributary site.
A digital-sharing group is formed by assigning the
same channel to each port in the group. All ports in the
digital-sharing group operate at the same speed and all
receive the same data. (The ports do not have to be
adjacent to one another, which is a restriction when
forming a digital-sharing group with the TDM capability).
The host protocol must enforce the order of transmissions
to avoid collisions; that is, the digital-sharing group is not
configured for contention. Refer to the following note if
contention is required.
