Flexible Add/Drop Multiplexer
FLX600A
Fle xibility and Survivability for SDH-Based Netw ork Ser vices
FLX600A is a highly flexible system that can be configured into a number of possible operating modes. It can serve as a hub or a digital cross-connect (DXC) system and is ideal for building advanced ring, linear, and point-to-point networks. The FLX network can be managed efficiently and cost effectively using FLEXR ® Plus or FLEXR ® management platforms. This can be done remotel.

FLX600A is a highly flexible system that can be configured into a number of possible operating modes. It can serve as a hub or a digital cross-connect (DXC) system and is ideal for building advanced ring, linear, and point-to-point networks. The FLX network can be managed efficiently and cost effectively using FLEXR ® Plus or FLEXR ® management platforms. This can be done remotely using an X.25 link or an LCN, or locally using a direct connection.
Main F eatures
• Flexibility and upgradability (including in-service) • Modular plug-in unit design • High survivability against transmission failures (protection of equipment and traffic at the line, path, and unit levels) • Digital cross-connect capability allowing flexible traffic routing • Quick and easy downloading of software upgrades from the network management system • Alarm and performance reporting to the management system • Efficient maintenance operation using orderwire, housekeeping, and 64 kbps user channel
Flexib le Configurations
Multiplexer : aggregates STM 4/16, 2/34/(45)/140 Mbps tributaries, and STM-1/4 Hubbing (HUB): ideal as a central node Add/Drop (ADM): ideal for linear networks (L-ADM) and ring networks (R-ADM) Terminal (TRM): ideal for point-to-point networks DXC systems: cross connects any pair of signals transferred over STM-1/4/16 lines at any VC level and is ideal for a simple meshed n.
