FLX600A

SDH TRANSPORT 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 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...
