Digital switching
The two principles of digital switching are:
Time switching
Space switching
The TSM, the DLMUX and the SPM are duplicated in two
planes, plane A and plane B.
The DLMUX was introduced in BYB501 and its goal is to
put together several 2 Mbit/s PCM connections to the
group switch.
In BYB 202 the 2 Mbit/s PCM connections are directly
connected to the Group switch and more specific to TSM
GS INTRODUCTION
In all AXE systems that connect two or more subscribers
to one another, the Group Switch is the dominant
feature, and is generally seen as the core around which
the system is built.
The Group Switching Subsystem, GSS, has the following
basic functions:
Selection, connection and disconnection of speech or
signal paths passing through the Group Switch.
Supervision of hardware in the subsystem by
continuous, periodic and traffic-dependent supervision,
for example through-connection tests.
64 K group switch
The 64 K group switch consists of 128 TSMs and 16
SPMs with a total capacity of 65 536 multiple positions.
A 64 K switch fits in four sub racks for each plan
When switch sizes larger than 16 kMUPs are required, or when the number of
devices exceeds 22, additional GEM(s) must be added. The configuration of
additional GEM(s) may be made while the system is processing traffic (no traffic
disturbances will be caused as a result of this action).
GEMs are connected in columns and rows by Highway Vertical (HWV) and Highway
Horizontal (HWH) interfaces. Both HWV and HWH are cable interfaces carrying
8192 payload timeslots and 128 overhead timeslots.
GEM supports DL5 internal switch interface which is intended for connection of a
high order DLMUX, MUX5 or MUXSP to the switch core. Also DL-34 interface is
supported. It is optimized for communication between the GS890 and the various
high-speed devices. DL3 interfaces can be handled using the DLEB boards.
GEM NNRP5 is a special type of GEM magazines where the magazine simply acts
as device magazine for GEM devices. The Group Switch capacity is limited by the
Group Switch in the AXE10 BYB501 node to which the GEM NNRP5 magazine is
connected.

TRA R6 (CSPB 1.0)
TRA R6 is a CSPB 1.0 based application.
It supports all codecs used in GSM system, i.e. EFR, FR, HR and Adaptive
MultiRate codec (AMR) HR & FR.
It also supports TFO for EFR, AMR-FR and AMR-HR.
The TRA R6 is built in a DSP ASIC technology developed especially for speech
processing.
This results in the ability to handle 192 speech channels per board, small size
and low power consumption.
When TFO is used the channel density is reduced to 128 channels per board for
narrowband codecs.
It is connected to the Group Switch via a DL34 interface and is controlled by the
APZ via an on-board regional processor (RPI).
ET155-1 STM-1
ET155-1 STM-1 is a 155 Mbit/s STM-1 Exchange Terminal that can terminate
up to sixty three 2 Mbit/s PDH tributaries.
It supports ETSI standards. The ET155-1 STM-1 is a single board
implementation (two boards if protection is required) that is mounted in the
GEM magazine.
A maximum of 8 fully utilized ET155-1 and 8 standby (protection) ET155-1
can fit into a GEM magazine when using fully equipped STM-1 frames.
For non-fully utilized STM-1 frames, a maximum of 22 ET-155-1 can be placed
into the GEM magazine.
In any case, the limitation is 16k ports and 22 board positions.
The ET155-1 is connected to the Group Switch via a DL34 interface and is
controlled by the APZ via an on-board regional processor (RPI).
GARP-1
The Generic Application Resource Processor (GARP-1) is based on Power PC hardware
platform.
GARP-1 is used for Signalling Transport (SIGTRAN) application, which secures stable
operation and a secure transition from traditional SS7 to SS7 over IP.
The GARP-1 board, handling the SIGTRAN application, is connected to the CP via the RP bus
(RPB-S).
When used in the BSC, data packets are transferred to other signalling nodes using the
current IP infrastructure.
The GARP-1 boards are connected using the front ports to the BSC LAN switch and from
there to the Site Router and further towards the MSC and SMPC.
GARP-1 is also used for the Signalling GAN Handler SGH application.
The SGH application is used for the control signalling over the Up interface.
The SGH application uses GARP-1 backplane connectors for communication over Ethernet
and requires a magazine that includes an Ethernet Switch.
GARP-2
The Generic Application Resource Processor ver. 2 (GARP-2) is
equipped with a MPC 8548E processor and 2GB of DDR
SDRAM.
GARP-2 has two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the backplane
and two on the front.
There is one GARP-2 HW version used for the TRH application
and another GARP-2 version used for the GPH application.
GARP-2 is the successor of RPG3 for the TRH application and
RPP for the GPH application.
STEB
The STEB implements signalling terminal (ST)
functionalities of No. 7 signalling using Nb and HSL
protocol in AXE 810 system.
With reference to AXE architecture, STEB is equipped
with a Regional Processor (RP).
The protocol layers implemented on STEB are MTP1 and
MTP2 for Nb and HSL Q.703 Annex A or SAAL for HSL
(ATM based).
STEB supports up to: 4 HSL links or 128 Nb signalling
links.
