General organization of board a 32-bit processor: 68020 Motorola operating at 15,6 MHz (ACUTR3), 68030 Motorola operating at 40 MHz (ACUTR4). The 68020 can access the following: one EPROM (128 Kbytes), one DRAM (4 Mbytes for ACUTR3 or 16 Mbytes for ACUTR4), registers (ICMAT, ICLOG...), a local bus interface, a multiprocessor station bus interface provided by the BSM gate array, a coupling area arranged within the BSM gate array.
42
ACMCS Board: 16 Megabyte Common Memory Role The ACMCS board is the common memory of the 16 Megabyte 0CB283 control stations; it is protected by a self-correcting code and can be accessed via the BSM multiprocessor station bus and the local bus, (BL). Location It interfaces with: The multiprocessor station bus, a multi-master bus with access priority. The data bus is a 16-bit one for addresses of less than 16 Mbytes and a 32 bit one for addresses lying between 16 Mbytes and 4 GBytes. To operate, the board must be linked to a master board via the multiprocessor station bus, The local bus, which is a quick-access mono-master bus. The data bus is a 32-bit one and it is accessible only to addresses of < 16 Mbytes. A link with a master board via the local bus is not essential for the board to operate. Organization The ACMCS board essentially includes: The multiprocessor station bus and local bus interfaces, A special addressing area which is accessible via the multiprocessor station bus only and is called a link-pack area. It is made up of: 43

The 68020 can access the following: 128 Kbyte EPROM, 4 Mbyte DRAM, registers (ICMAT, ICLOG, ...), A Multiprocessor station bus interface provided by the multiprocessor station bus gate array. A coupling area arranged within the multiprocessor station bus gate array. Two token ring adaptors: one located on ACAJA, and the other on ACAJB. These two boards are interconnected via a backplane private bus. The power Supplies of the two boards are different, in order to guarantee absence of simultaneous disturbance of the two rings in the event of a power fault.

DEFENCE A station detects its own faults and signals its serious faults to its environment. It is made up of a set of processors which are of multi-level structure and co-operate for detection of faults. A station is monitored from the outside by its environment, thanks to the other stations. This monitoring is instituted in order to offset inefficiencies, if any, in detection mechanisms which are internal to the station. It requires centralization of potential malfunctions in order to carry out correlation. Each malfunction is assigned a level of seriousness (weighting). A OCB 283 station is a confinement unit: confinement of any confirmed fault is carried out within the station and consists of stoppage of the station. Traffic in progress within the station may be lost in this case. It will not have any degraded operation effect except for the time it takes fault tolerance mechanisms to react. . A station possesses a status, characterizing its fitness to handle traffic, vis-a-vis the outside. It also knows the status of all the other stations at any moment, which allows it to re-switch its traffic if a change in configuration of the station network takes place. A station is a reconfigurable unit - i.e. any station positioning because of a fault will lead to re-allocation of all its tasks (ML) to a backup station, if there is one.

To connection chain PHYSICAL FORM OF AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT CONTROL STATIONS The Auxiliary Equipment Control Station is organized around a standardized Multiprocessor Station Bus (BSM). This is a 16-bit bus. The different boards are connected to this bus, which is used by them as a means of communication. Sixteen boards can be connected to the multiprocessor station bus: an ACAJA board is responsible with to associated ACAJB board to manage interchanges via the Main Control Station Access Multiplex (MAS), an ACMCQ or ACMCS board which supports the bulk memory of the station, an ACUTR board: main processor function (PUP), an ACUTR board which carries out the secondary processor functions (PUS), at most 12 boards which carry out the specific operations for which the.

Function performed by the ACHIL board This board carries out Level 2 processing for 16 HDLC type signalling channels and has servers with the following role at check frame level on transmission: o sending of flag, o computation of CRC, o insertion of zero, o automatic sending of filling frames, o repetition of status frames, on command. on receiving: o elimination of inserted zeros, o centering on flag, o checking of CRC, o automatic elimination of filling frames which carry no useful information. Function performed by ICHOR board The function of the ICHOR board is to keep the time of the OCB 283 exchange accurate. Time information performs a double function on switching. It enables messages to be determined and labeled. It must be protected against slow drifts which involve repeated resetting of time, and against sudden loss of time due to hardware anomaly.

ROLE OF SYNCHRONISATION AND TIME BASE STATION The Synchronization and Time Base Station incorporates 3 functions: External Synchronization Interface (HIS) clocks, Tripled Time Base (BTT), Alarms. Role of External Synchronization Interfaces (HIS) The External Synchronization Interfaces are synchronization units designed for synchronization networks of master-slave type with more than one input and with management of priorities. Putting one or more than one input out of service and reestablishing them takes place automatically, in terms of defined criteria. They use clocks retrieved from digital circuits coming from PCM Terminal Stations (Trunk Control Station (SMT). They carry out management of synchronization links by monitoring alarm signals of the relevant PCM. They guarantee maximum quality of frequency precision, no matter what the quality of synchronization links might be. They offset losses from all synchronization links, via a very high stability oscillator. 68

ROLE OF TRUNK CONTROL STATION (SMT) The Trunk Control Station ensures functional interface between the PCM and the switching centre. These PCM come from: another switching centre, a Remote Electronic Satellite Concentrator (CSED), a Remote Subscriber Digital Access Unit (CSND), the digital recorded announcement equipment. The Trunk Control Station (SMT) permits implementation of the PCM Controller URM (multiplex connection unit) function which mainly consists of: in PCM to switching centre direction: o HDB3 conversion to binary, o extraction of channel-associated signalling, o management of semaphore channels carried by TS16, o cross-connection of channels between PCM and Matrix Link (LR), in switching centre to PCM direction: o binary to HDB3 conversion, o transmission of channel associated signalling, o management of semaphore channels carried by TS16, o cross-connection of channels between Matrix Link and PCM. LOCATION OF TRUNK CONTROL STATION The Trunk Control Station is connected to: external components (Remote Subscriber Digital Access Unit, Remote Electronic Satellite Concentrator, circuits) by PCM (maximum of 32), the connection matrix by a set of 32 network lines (matrix links), or 4 groups of matrix links, for carrying the content of CCITT No. 7 semaphore channels and speech channels,
73
GENERAL ARCHITECTURE A Trunk Control Station handles 32 PCM links. These links are divided up into 8 groups of 4 (PCM which are each processed by a module which is a dedicated Multiplex Connection Module (MRM) or Satellite Connection Module (MRS). Specialisation is at software level only. All these eight modules are managed by a logic: LOGUR. To ensure correct availability of the unit, the LOGUR and also the acquisition logic of each module are duplicated. The PCM end logic (transcoder) and the active logic selection board are not duplicated. A Trunk Control Station is therefore made up of two logics (or 1/2 PCM Controller system) a pilot logic which handles switching and protection functions related to switching, a standby logic which is kept up to date in relation to the master logic and which performs LOCAVAR functions on request from the (SMM).
74
Module Organisation A module manages 4 PCM of 32 channels. It is made up of 2 parts: a PCM end logic made up of 4 ICTR1 transcoders (1 per PCM), which carry out: o on receiving : HDB3-binary conversion on the link and retrieval of remote clock, o on transmission : binary HDB3 conversion from the transmission link and the local clock, a duplicated acquisition logic (LACO and LAd), the main functions of which are: o synchronisation of the receiving link on local clock, o detection of alarms, o processing of CRC4 on receiving, o cross-connection of speech or data channels, o extraction and processing of signalling, o transmission of signalling, o calculation and injection of CRC4.
75
76
A half-system is capable of managing all the traffic of the 32 PCM links. Choice of the logic in service takes place by a non-duplicated module from periodic requests for switchovers, requests for switchovers on failure of the master logic, requests for manual switchovers, operator commands (MMC).
Make-up of LOGUR The LOGUR manages the eight acquisition logics which are associated with it. It manages two way communications with the other LOGUR and external components. These functions are divided up among three processors: 2 auxiliary processors, A and B, which carry out switching work and manage the alarms of the logics which are associated with them (ICPRO-A and ICPRO-B boards), 1 main processor which manages interchanges, monitors and controls the tasks carried out by the auxiliary processors and carries out maintenance of the unit which comes under it (ICPRO-P board). An interchange memory exists to effect two-way communication between the main processor and the auxiliary processors, and it also carries out interchanges with the other logic (ICMEC board). Memories which are common to the auxiliary processors contain conversion tables used in processing of channel-associated signalling (ICCTM board). 77

Each TCBTL board handles 16 matrix links coming from one branch of the Host Switching Matrix. HOST SWITCHING MATRIX (MCX) The Host Switching Matrix is made up of 2 branches, A and B, and, from the hardware point of view, is made up of Matrix Control Stations (SMX). A branch of the Host Switching Matrix contains from 1 to 8 Matrix Control Stations. Each Matrix Control Station receives a tripled time base signals (8 MHz and frame synchronisation) coming from the time base unit (STS) and, following majority choice, distributes information to the exchange and to the Matrix Link Interfaces (ILR). Each Matrix Control Station handles 256 incoming matrix links and 256 outgoing matrix links, within its network liaison interfaces (ILR). On output from the incoming side ILR, the LCXE links of homologous numbers are multiplied on the same positions of all the Matrix Control Stations. Each time-domain matrix is capable of handling the switching of any time slot of the 2048 incoming matrix links, to any time slot of its 256 outgoing matrix links. 101

104
Connection Matrix Part The function of the connection matrix is to switch any incoming channel onto any outgoing channel. Operation is based on use of two types of dual access memory: buffer type: this memory allows storage of samples relating to two frames, with storage taking place at the strobe of the time base and even frame alternating with odd frame in two buffers, readout is performed from the control memory. Read/write switchover takes place at each frame, control memory type: the VEj address relating to the VEj VSi connection is stored at each address of this memory which corresponds to the VSi address. This memory is written in upon instructions coming from the command units; it is read out at the strobe of the time base. The matrix has a maximum capacity of 2048 incoming matrix links on 256 outgoing matrix links, made up of two 1024 LRE x 256 LRS modules. Association of elemental matrices (64 x 64 matrix links) constitutes each module The arrangement of 32 columns of 4 basic blocks makes it possible to obtain the time-domain matrix of the Matrix Control Station, of maximum capacity of 2048 incoming matrix links and 256 outgoing matrix links. Any interconnection of time-domain channels goes through only one basic block. Average time taken to go through is one frame (125 microseconds).

Brief description of the Main Alarm Coupler (CCAL) The CCAL is responsible for the acquisition of events (alarms, telecomm ands) and relaying command signals to the supervision devices and miscellaneous telecomm ands. It is also responsible for protecting the associated secondary alarm couplers and the alarm multiplex. One ACRAL board can support 2 CCAL. Brief description of the Alarm Multiplex (MAL) The MAL comprises: a data link (LAM), a clock link (H), a pilot link (PIL) for setting the CSAL to Pilot or Reserve mode and resetting them to zero. Brief description of the CSAL Each CSAL is supported by one ACALA board. The main role of the ACALA board is to collect the alarms from an OCB283 stations. It formats the alarms into a serial message for the Maintenance Station (SMM). It must also relay messages from the upstream ACALA boards, but this function is transparent. When requested by the SMM, it executes telecomm ands for the station in which it is located. It can also be used to position a 16-light alarm array via an interface board (ACTLC). In this case it does not collect the alarms.

DATA MANAGEMENT Type of Data The data are divided into three major categories Permanent Data whose content does not vary in normal use. The inst part of software is a typical example. These data are characteristic of a functional application and are generated in the development centers. As such they are also called system data. Semi-permanent Data which evolves during normal operation and requires storage in non volatile memory so that they can be recovered when reloading the system. The semi-permanent data can be modified either by operator commands (e.g. subscriber creation) or by the action of a subscriber. Semi-permanent data can be divided into two subsets: 1. So-called site data which provide a record of the site environment (subscribers, configuration, etc...), 2. So-called contract data which are identical for all sites in a given country (e.g. preliminary analysis data). Temporary 127
