Ascend Pipeline 25Px/75Px
Platform Requirements
Here is a summary of the required hardware and facilities:
At the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 4.0 or later
control unit:
— A 100D module set up for Primary Rate Interface (PRI) operation or T1
— If a 100D module is used, a CSU (channel service unit) is necessary.
— A 008 MLX or 408 GS/LS MLX module (not firmware vintage 29)
For digital data communications, the system operates with the following
central office switches and networked trunks, according to the access
arrangement or facility:
— PRI. Requires Lucent Technologies 4ESS Generic 16 and later; or
— NI-1 BRI. Requires Lucent Technologies 5ESS Generic 9; or Lucent
— T1 Switched 56 Data. Requires Lucent Technologies 4ESS Generic
Network services for high-speed data transmission are available form
AT&T, MCI (Release 4.2 and later systems), and your local service provider
(Release 4.2 and later systems). For details, see
(PRI) and T1" on page
The PC must be running Windows 3.11, Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh
OS, or UNIX. At the PC, the following hardware is required:
10Base-T Ethernet network interface card
Serial communications port capable of transmitting data at 9.6 kbps
Serial communications (modem) cable for the PC
Switched 56 operation (with channels programmed for T1 data service);
or an NI-1 BRI line/trunk module for NI-1 BRI service
Lucent Technologies 5ESS Generic 6 and later; or Lucent Technologies
5ESS serving the FTS-2000 network. In Release 5.0 and later systems,
support is included for the NORTEL DMS-100 BCS 36 for local
exchange carrier services, NORTEL DMS-250 generic MCI07 serving
the MCI network, and Digital Switch Corporation DEX600E generic
500-39.30 serving the MCI network.
In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode), when tandem PRI
trunks connect networked systems, these systems can perform data
transfers at speeds up to 128 kbps (2B data).
Technologies 5ESS 2000 Generic 9.2; or Northern Telecom DMS-100
Generic NA003; or Siemens Stromberg-Carlson EWSD Generic
ATS-12.
18/19/20; or Lucent Technologies 5ESS Generic 9.1; or Northern
Telecom DMS-100 Generic BCS 34. In Release 6.0 and later systems
(Hybrid/PBX mode), tandem T1-emulated tie trunks programmed for
data can perform data transfers at speeds up to 112 kbps (2B data).
