Topologies

Star Networks
The ability to configure multiple aggregate ports allows Star network topologies to be built with the V100,
ranging from simple point-to-point systems at one extreme to a cluster with up to 10 remotes per chassis
at the other. Connections may be permanent or dynamic, the choice being made by the nature of the
traffic. Data traffic will require fixed routes, whereas voice traffic will usually be switched. Here, if in-band
signalling is specified, routes will be defined with reference to a directory of network addresses, which
relate to the decoded dialing digits.
Connections may be established between any ports in the network, including the hub. When indirect or
onward routes are implemented at the hub, voice/fax or MPEG data remains compressed.
