  • Telecom) Terms Glossary and Dictionary - A
    Tele-Communication (Telecom) Terms Glossary and Dictionary - A A & B Bit A & B Bit is used in digital environments to convey signaling information. A bit equal to one generally corresponds to loop current flowing in an analog environment; A bit value of zero corresponds to no loop Current, i.e. to no connection. Other signals are made by changing bit values: for example, a flash-hook is sent by briefly setting the A bit to zero. A Links A Links, also known as SS7 access links, connect an end office or signal point to a mated pair of signal transfer points. They may also connect signal transfer points and signal control points at the regional level with the A-links assigned in a quad arrangement. A&B Bit Signaling A&B Bit Signaling, also called 24th channel signaling, is a procedure used in T1 transmission facilities in which each of the 24Â T1 subchannels devotes 1 bit of every sixth frame to the carrying of supervisory signaling information. On T1 lines that use Extended SuperFrame(ESF) framing, the signaling bits are robbed from the 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th frame, resulting in "ABCD" signaling bits. ABAM cable ABAM cable refers to a type of T1 cable. This cable was a 22 gauge, 100 ohm insulated, twisted pair. ABAM cable is no longer available, but you can easily find cable that meets the technical requirements. Abandoned Call Abandoned Call is a call in which the call originator disconnects or cancels the call after a connection has been made, but before the call is established.

  • ADSL) Services to Remote Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) Locations
    Extending Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Services to Remote Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) Locations Definition Digital loop carriers (DLCs) consolidate the voice traffic of remotely located customers onto a few transport lines running back to the central office (CO), thus reducing the cost and space requirements of serving those customers. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology is used to transport large amounts of data traffic over existing copper telephone lines—up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream—while simultaneously supporting plain old telephone service (POTS). Overview This tutorial discusses the process of delivering ADSL services to remote end- users fed by DLC systems. With increasing suburbanization, areas outside urban centers are experiencing a rapid growth in both businesses and new residential communities. These new populations are prime candidates for high-speed data services such as ADSL. Therefore, as demand for high-speed data access grows, being able to cost-effectively deliver ADSL to these outlying areas, which typically receive their communications services via DLC systems, becomes increasingly important. Delivering ADSL to DLC–fed end-users is a difficult challenge to meet because ADSL does not work with DLC systems without some sort of infrastructure upgrade. However, solutions are being developed, and some of these are quite promising. This tutorial provides a brief background of the challenge of delivering ADSL to DLC–fed end users, as well as a number of ways this challenge is being addressed. The tutorial places particular emphasis on remote access multiplexer (RAM) solutions. Topics 1.

Gale of “Creative Destruction” Engulfs Nortel Introduction In 2000, Nortel was the largest Canadian company, both in terms of revenue and market capitalization. (See Exhibit 1.) According to Canadian technology writer Larry MacDonald, one of Nortel’s strengths up to that point was its ability to thrive in the face of adversity. “In fact, it is out of disruption and discontinuities in markets, products and technologies that Nortel has emerged triumphant many times over. They have been what Nortel looks for in order to survive and gain position. The legacy is an entrenched culture of change, speed and innovation.”1 Exhibit 1 Nortel’s Market Cap and Revenue reached record highs in 2000 (in US$) Nine years later Nortel initiated creditor protection proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada and Chapter 11 in the United States.

  • Analog Interfaces, Intelligent Networks, DNHR
    Analog Interfaces, Intelligent Networks, DNHR Lecture (7) Analog Interfaces • The design, implementation and maintenance of any large and complex system require partitioning of the system into subsystems. • Associated with each subsystem is an interface that defines the inputs and outputs independent of internal implementations. • Well established interfaces are fundamental requirements to maintain compatibility between old and new equipment. 1 Principal Analog Interfaces: • Subscriber Loop interface • Loop-Start Trunks • Ground Start Trunks • Direct-Inward-Dial Trunks • E&M trunks Subscriber Loop Interface • The most common interface involves 2- wire connection of individual telephone lines to end office switches. • Fundamental characteristics of this interface are: BORSCHT • Per-line SLIC s allow implementation of per-line BORSCHT functions. SLIC : Subscriber Loop Interface Circuit 2 BORSCHT • Battery Feed: 48V normally • Over-voltage Protection • Ringing: 20Hz, 86 V rms, 2 sec ON & 4 sec OFF. • Supervision: Detection of ON-Hook or Off-Hook • Coding *: A/D or D/A • Hybrid *: 2- to 4- wire conversion • Test: Access to line test in either direction. * Digital Switch Interface Requirements LS Trunks • Loop start circuit is monitored based on its DC current status for signals and on- and off-hook conditions. • Loop Start lines have immediate dial tone. • 24 × 7. • Less expensive, easy deployment. • Residential, Small and Medium Business Services. 3 Loop-Start Trunks • The two wires in the phone line (tip and ring) are bridged (shorted) together through a resistor (say 1K) when the handset is taken off-hook. • The CO detects the current in the loop. • By operational point of view, identical to SLI. Drawback • With 2-way LS trunks, difficulty arises when both ends of the line seize the line at the same time – ‘glare’ situation.
