Dialogic® Common Channel Signaling I/O Card - EXS-CCS-1000/EXS-CCS-1000R

Description

The Dialogic® Common Channel Signaling I/O card allows you to use the following Common Channel Signaling (CCS) card in a distributed environment on a CSP:

• SS7 PQ card

The single slot CCS I/O card is paired with the above card to support either a single 10Base-T or 10Base-2 Ethernet connection, auto-selected.

The Common Channel Signaling card call control at the Server Node matrix communicates with the CSP Matrix Series 3 Card on remote CSP nodes over the Ethernet using the CCS I/O card. A redundant CCS card connects to the remote matrix through the Ethernet, and to the primary CCS card through the HDLC bus.

LEDs on the front panel of the I/O card indicate Receive, Transmit, and Collision status.

The CCS I/O Redundancy Link cable serves as an independent HDLC link for redundancy between the adjacent CCS I/O cards.

Important! Redundant configurations are optional. If selected, the removal of one of a pair of CCS I/O cards will not interrupt CCS system operation nor require user intervention.

Placement

The CCS I/O card resides in the rear card slot of a CSP 2090, CSP 2110, or CSP 2040 chassis directly behind the corresponding CCS card.

Configuration Information

The part number, serial number, model number, and revision are located on the back of the board.
