INTRODUCTION:
From the ancient days it has been deepest human desire to stay closed with
those they need. Many different ways have been evolved and implemented
to fulfill this; Telephony is also such a mechanism that uses Telephone,
electronic equipment that converts sound into electrical signals that can be
transmitted over distances and then converts received signals back into
sounds.
Electronic exchanges play major role in this system. Its a workplace
that serves telecommunication facilities where lines from telephones can be
connected together to permit communication. The switching center that
houses the terminating and switching equipment is called TELEPHONE
EXCHANGE. Following are the types of exchanges where upon we have done
training and prepared this report:
1)

E10B- This was the first ever fully electronic exchange of our country
established in 1990. This name stands for Electronic-10,000
subscribers capacity- B (series code). It had given first ever speeded
dialing feature in telephony.

2)

OCB- This name stands for Optical-Cable-B (series code). It was

established in India in 1997. And it had first ever introduced concepts
of mobile exchange, call tracing, caller ID, ISDN etc. in our country
along with significantly increasing the number of connected
subscribers per exchange.

3)

5ESS- This name stands for 50,000 subscribers limit- Electronic-SubSubscribers. It had implemented concept of sub-subscribers to
increase the subscribers limits.

Fig 4: Various types of cross points

Various types of cross points have been evolved, but sealed

contact type reed relays are commonly used in analog switching
networks. Memories are preferred.
A basic switching stage consists of reed relay arranged in a
row and columns in the form of a matrix. Several such stages
connected in tandem constitute a switching network. There are
two types of switching network viz. Unidirectional and bidirectional.
Transit exchanges are unidirectional network.
Whereas the subscriber local exchange are bi-directional
networks.
DIGITAL SWITCHING: Digital switching has become a
synonym for time division multiplex. In digital switching system,
13

digital signals are switched in two nodes, time switching and

space switching. Time switching basically involves rearrangement
of channel sequence in the same PCM from whereas space
switching involves interconnection of same channels of a different
PCM high way. In a practical digital switching both time and
space switching stage is employed to increase the traffic handling
capacity of the switch at minimum cost. Among the various
possible combinations TST structure is most commonly used.
Synchronization of various exchange
clocks in a digital network is essential to provide required
services. Causing a slip due to mismatch between the clocks will
result in multination of information and description of services.
Hence, slip has to be controlled using plesiochronous and
synchronous approaches.
MODULATION: Often the message signal is not suitable for
transmission over the medium in its original forms. Therefore,
the message signal is located in a carrier wave, which is more
suited for transmission over the medium. This process is called
modulation of the carrier wave. At the receiving end station the
message signal received back from the incoming modulated
carrier wave by a process is called demodulation which is inverse
of modulation.
MULTIPLEXING: Modulation enables multiple message signals
to be simultaneously transmitted over the same medium without
interfering each other. Transmission of multiple message signals
simultaneously over a medium is called multiplexing.
Modulation is essentially a process of relocation of a
message signal in a carrier wave, which is more suitable for
transmission for transmission over the medium than the message
signal itself.
Three types of modulation can occur1. Amplitude modulation
2. Frequency modulation
3. Pulse modulation

14

POWER PLANT
One of the primary requirements of any computer system is that
service will be available to the subscriber at any time. In the vast
majority of exchanges the electrical energy required for
signaling, switching, speed transmission mains. The exchange
power system is designed to provide continuous and
uninterrupted telephone service even when the public electric
fails. We can divide power plant in three major blocks such as

FLOAT RECTIFIER

BATTERY CHARGER

SWITCHING CUBICAL

FLOAT RECTIFIERS: - It constitutes one item of telephone

exchange power plant. The function of float rectifier is to drive
power supply A.C. mains and deliver to the telephone exchange
equipments continuous and filtered D.C. supply at nominal
voltage of 50 volt (actual terminal voltage is 51.5 volt). The
voltage of supply is to be maintain with closed limits of +-0.5
volt unvarying impact voltage and output load currents, on set or
more batteries are normally floated across the float rectifier in
parts are as follows

3-phase step down transfer

Half controlled 3phase bridge rectifier

Filter circuit and controller

BATTERY CHARGER- It is a part of power plant in an exchange

and provides initial, refresher and boost charging for the
batteries. The 24 lead acid cell battery can be charged from
1.8V per cell to 2.7 volt per cell.
A.C. INPUT
350V, 370V, 390V, 410V, 430V+- 10%
50Cps+-2Cps
3-phase 4wire system
D.C. INPUT

For 24 cells charging

44volt to 54volt at 150 Ampere
45 volt to 65 volt at 75 Ampere
15

COMPONENTS

3-phase step-down main transformer

Ballast chokes
3phase full wave rectifier

SWITCHING CUBICAL: It provides facility for

Floating any one or more batteries

Charging any one battery at a time

Supervisory alarms for all associated units

Incorporates auto-paralleling panel, which contains the

circuiting for sequential switching i.e., for switching ON and
OFF automatically to suit exchange load one or more float
rectifiers whose output are in parallel.
In case where exchange load is met directly from the mains,
provision is also made for alternate source of supply in the event
of mains failure .The emergency energy is derived from

Battery of secondary cells.

A combination of batteries of secondary cells and prime

mover generator sets.
Secondary cell or accumulators used in department are
mostly of bad acid type and hard rubber container

16

FLOAT SYSTEM: In this system the battery supplies only the

emergency reserve requirements of the equipments during
mains failure. The battery is always kept connector across the
load in the float system in a fully charge state but the
operating conditions are so maintained that the floated
battery does not discharge in to the load as long as the mains
power supply is available. As soon as the mains fail the
floated battery takes the load of the each. Thus there is
absolutely no break in D.C. power supply when the mains
power supply fails.
Various forms of standby supply arrangements are available, out
of which the engine generator sets are most common. This
consists of two separate machine an engine and the other
generator or alternator. A generator is an electromagnetic
machine, which converts natural form of energy to mechanical
energy.
A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine, which operates
on liquid fuel.

OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
Optical fiber is a latest means by which we transmit information
(speech, data, video), in the form of light through optical fibers
(fig. 5). This communication requires five stages.

Information is converted in to electrical signals by encoder.

Electrical signals are converted in to optical signal by means

of a light source.

Optical signals are transmitted to the distant station

through optical fiber media.

At the distant station optical signal are again converted in to

electrical signal by means of detector.

The electrical signal is further converted in to information

(speech data and video) by means of decoder at the distant
station.

17

Optical fibers have following two parts

Core (Internal part)

Cladding (Outer periphery)

Out surface of cladding creates a difference in refractive index
due to which total internal refraction phenomenon happens in
central core. Core and cladding made of transparent substance
like silica or Borosilicate, but the refractive index of cladding is
less than core.
ADVANTAGE OF OPTICAL FIBRE

Thousands of circuit can be provided through optical fiber.

The cable is less in size and diameter and so easily

transportable.

Noiseless circuit can be provided through this media

There is no risk of fire, electric shock and short-circuiting.

There is no effect of excessive temperature on it

Repeaters are provided at long intervals and repeater less

chain is also possible.

Bus System
Various switching peripherals are connected to central processor
by means of a common bus system. A bus is a group of wires on
which data and command pulses are transmitted between the
various sub units of a switching processor and switching
peripherals. The device to be activated is addressed by sending
its address on address bus. The common bus system avoids
costly interconnection among various devices (Fig-6).
Address BusThe address bus normally consists of 16 lines. To access a
particular device or memory location, the microprocessor
transmits its address on these lines.
Data BusThe data bus usually has parallel conductors. It is a path for
transferring data in and out of the processor.
Address bus is unidirectional and data bus is bi-directional.
Control BusControl bus is used for transmitting and receiving control signals
between microprocessor and various I/O devices.

I.D.N (Integrated Digital Network)I.D.N is a network in which both the transmission media and
switches employ digital techniques. This network combines the
advantages of both switching and transmission. In this system,
speech signals are converted to digital signals at transmitting
and receiving stations. This system has easy maintenance and
supervision, which is carried through computers. This enables
more flexibility in terms of remote controller and subscriber units
and reserved in saving of circuit cost.

21

I.S.D.N (Integrated service digital network)Presently, there is a multiplicity of services such as telephoning,
telex, data cable television etc. that are provided by separate
dedicated network for each of them. These non-integrated
services require separate switching system. Special subscribers
access plants, individual trunk networks and separate operations
and maintenance staff. These services are costly to the
subscriber as well as to department. In I.S.D.N, these services
are provided by one integrated network, which can be accessed
by different customer premises equipment.
In I.S.D.N, subscriber loop from the local exchange will be
terminated at the network terminal (N.T). From N.T the signal
will be distributed to the information sockets. These information
sockets will be distributed in the premises just like power sockets
are distributed for providing on the information sockets, different
terminals for voice and nonvoice services can be connected.

Functional Division- each processor does only a certain
function exclusively allotted to it for the entire exchange.
Segmenting each processor carrying out all the functions for a
certain segment of the exchange (Fig 7).
Redundancy- there is different standby methods available in
control structure of electronic telephone exchange.
1. Hot standby redundancy
2. N+1 redundancy
3. Synchronous replica duplication
4. Load sharing (fig 11)
Hot standby redundancy- there is a standby available for all
functional units separately. Even anyone or more units fail. The
working of exchange will not be affected (fig 8).

N+1 Redundancy- one unit is extra added in parallel with N
units. In the failure of any one unit, this extra unit takes the load
of the failed unit, but if two units will fail, the exchange cannot
work (fig 9).
24

Synchronous replica duplication- the standby unit is always

connected and compared by a clock pulse. If there is a difference
in two units, it means one unit is faulty (fig 10).

Electronic Exchange
These are entirely computerized and electronic devices, which
work on store programme control. Electronic logic component
can do ten thousand times operation during signal in the
comparison of electromechanical exchange.
In an electronic exchange a single control device
simultaneously process a number of calls on time-sharing basis.
Such centralization is more economical, but it is disadvantageous
in making switching system more vulnerable to system failure.
This, however, can be overcome a standby control devices.
These electronic exchanges have powerful processing unit.
Part of control equipment capacity utilize for function other than
for processing. There are two types of electronic exchange.
Analog Exchange- this exchange uses one physical path for one
call. Hence, full availability could not be achieved due to internal
blocking.

Digital exchange- digital switching enables sharing a single
path by several calls. Hence, it provides full availability and there
is no change of internal blocking.
Function of a electronic exchange
The primary purpose of an exchange is to provide a
temporary path for simultaneously bi-directional transmission of
speech between
26

1. Subscriber lines connected to the same exchange (local

switching)
2. Subscriber lines and trunks to other exchange (outgoing
trunk calls)
3. Subscriber lines and trunks from other exchange (incoming
trunk call)
4. pairs of trunks towards different exchange (transit
switching)
These are called the switching function of an exchange and
are implemented through the equipment called the switching
network.
An exchange which can set up the just first three types of
connection is called a subscribers of local exchange it is called a
transit or random exchange.
Other distinguish function of an exchange
1. Exchange of information with the external environment
(subscribers line or other exchange) that is signaling.
2. Processing and signaling information and controlling the
operation of switching network that is control.
3. Changing and billing.
All these function can be provided more efficiently using
computer controlled electronic exchange and functional division
of a store programme. Control electronic exchange can be given
as (fig 11)

1. Terminal equipment- it provides an individual basis for

each subscribers line and for inter exchange trunk.
2. Switching network- the main function of switching is
setting up the temporary connection between two or more
exchange termination and transmission of speech and
signals between terminations with reliable accuracy.

Types of switching system

There are following two types of switching system in India
(a) Space division switching system- in this system a
continuous physical path is being set up between input
and output terminations. This path is separated for each
connection and is held for the entire duration of the call.
(b) Time division switching system- in this system a
number of connections shares the same path on time
division sharing basis. The path is not separate for each
connection, rather, is shared sequentially for a fraction of
time by different path. This process is repeated
periodically at a suitable high rate. The repetition rate is
8 KHz in ones every 125 microseconds for transmitting
speech on telephone network.

Functional subdivision of an SPC exchange

1. Switching processors consisting mainly of processors and
memories.
2. Switching peripherals (scanners distributors and marker)
are interface circuit between control system terminal
equipment and switching network.
3. Signalling interface depending on type of signaling used.
4. Data processing peripherals (tele-type writers, printers
e.t.c.) for man machine dialogue for operator and maintenance
of exchange.
29

Central Control
It is a high-speed data processing unit that controls the
operation of the switching network (fig 12)
Programme Store- in this, set of instructions called programme
are stored. The programmes are interpreted and executed by the
central control.
Data Store- it provides for the temporary store of transient
data, required in processing calls such as digits dialed by
subscribers, busy/idle status of lines and trunks e.t.c.
Data Store is temporary memory whereas translation and
programmes stores are semi permanent type. The information in
semi transparent memory does not change during the processing
of call but the information in data store changes the continuously
origination and termination of each call.

Switching peripherals
The time intervals in which the processor operates is in the
order of micro second, while the components in telephone
switching system operate in millisecond. The equipment known
as switching peripherals is interface between two equipment
working at different speeds. The interface equipments act as
speed, buffer as well as enables conversion of digital logic signals
from the processor to the appropriate electrical signal to operate
relay cross points etc scanner, distributor and marker fall under
this category of devices.
Scanner-its purpose is to detect and inform the central control
of all significant events on subscriber lines and trunks connected
to the exchange.
Marker-it performs physical set up and release of paths through
the switching network under the control of central control.
Distributor- it is a buffer between high speed, low power central
control and relatively slow speed high power signaling terminal
circuit.

30

Line Interface
To enable an electronic exchange to function to the existing
outdoor telephone network certain interfaces are required
1. Analog subscriber line interface
2. Transmission interface
3. Signaling interface
Analog subscriber line interfaceThe function of a subscribers line interface for each two-wire line
is often known by the acronym BORSHCT which is
B- Battery Feed
O- Overload Protection
R- Ringing
S- Supervision of loop status
H- Hybrid
C- CODEC
T- Connection to test equipment
All these functions cannot be performed directly by
electronic circuiting so, suitable interfaces are required.
Transmission Interface- transmission interfaces between
analog trunks and digital trunks such as A/d and D/A converters
known as CODEC. These may be provided per line and per trunk
basis ( on the basis of one per 30 speech channels).
Signalling Interface- A typical telephone network may have
various exchange systems (manual, stronger, crossbar and
electronic e.t.c.) each having different signaling schemes. In
such an environment an exchange must be in accordance with
several different signaling codes.

31

Signaling
There are four types of signaling possible: 1. Ring Down Signalling
2. DC signaling
3. E & M signaling
4. Digital signaling

Digital Signalling can be performed in two ways: Channel Associated Signalling- Initially all signaling between
automatic exchanges was decadic i.e. telephone numbers were
transmitted as trains of 1 to 10 pulses, each train representing
one digit. To increase the speed at which the calls could be set up
and to improve the reliability of signaling, compelled sequence
multi frequency signaling system was then introduced. In this
system each signal transmitted as a combination of two out of a
group of say 5 or 6 frequencies. In both decadic and multi
frequency systems the signal for each call are sent over a
channel directly associated with the inter exchange speech
transmission circuit is used for that call. This is termed as
channel associated signaling.
Common Channel Signalling- recently a different technique
has been developed known as common channel signaling. In this
technique all the signaling information for a number of calls is
sent over a signaling link independent of the inter-exchange
speech circuit. Higher transmission rates can be utilized to enable
exchange of much larger amount of information. This results in
faster called set up. Introduction of new services i.e. abbreviated
dialing and more retrials ultimately accomplish higher call
completion rate. Moreover it can provide network management
and traffic engineering.

System hardware utilized advanced concepts
in microelectronics for a compact and optimum design. Basic

Single chip digital signal processors are used for implementing
DTMF and MF receiver.
A high performance, high density
VLSI chip detects multiple tones simultaneously performs signal
filtering on four channels. This approach reduces costs, power
dissipation and saves space on PCM. Analog to digital conversion
on the line circuit has been achieved by using a per channel
coder decoder (CODEC) chip.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Terminal groups=4 nos

Terminal interface=4 per terminal group
One terminal interface has 8 terminations of pairs (fig 15)
Analog information over the termination are first change
to digital format at the bit rate of 64 bit per second. Such 32
channels PCM from the4 terminal interfaces are time division
multiplexed to generate 32 PCM link with the data rate of 2.048
Megabyte per second thus from 16 terminal interfaces We get the
4PCM 32 link which are connected to the switching network.

SWITCHING NETWORK

The switching network is completely non-blocking

network and allows for higher traffic handling capacity. The 4PCM
32 links from terminal groups undergo time division multiplexing
TDM to generate PCM 128 channel link at bit rate of 8 megabit per
second. After switching the channel 128 PCM channel link is
demultiplexed to regenerate 4PCM 32 links at 2 megabit per
second, which carry the switched information back to the terminal
interfaces.

 SIGNAL PROCESSOR
Signaling information as the dialed digits,
ring trip, trunk seizure etc is separated at the terminal interfaces
and carried to SP on a time-multiplexed link. The SP passes on
this information to the T.I.C similarly, T.I.C uses S.P for effective
any device in the terminations.
E.g. ringing current.

TERMINAL INTERFACE CONTROLLER

It drives the identities of the calling and the called terminals
and stabilizes a path through the switching network between
these terminals. The T.I.C communicates with the R.C.P on the
high data link controller (H.D.L.C) link for all call related
information.

R.A.X CONTROLLED PROCESSOR (R.C.P.)

It is a microprocessor-based processor, which handles the call
processing function. R.C.P stands the terminal connection related
information to the T.L.C over the H.D.L.C link.

MANTENANCE PANNEL
It is connected to R.C.P viz RS232C link for system for
operation and maintenance function
A DC-to-DC converter generates the various voltages
required for the system operation and also provides ringing for
the subscriber loop.
CDOT RAX uses integrated circuit based on metal oxide
silicon, MOS, CMNOS low power schottkey transistor. In,
Transistor logic bipolar 10 types of cards are used.

DATA PROCESSING PERIPHERALS

1. Man machine dialog terminal
a. Tele type writer
b. Visual display unit
c. Printer
2. Special purpose peripherals employed for carried out repeated
function such as subscriber line testing which requires high
speed.
3. High-speed large capacity data storage
a. Magnetic tape drive
b. Magnetic disk unit
These are used for loading software in processor memory.
4. Maintenance peripheral-Such as alarm initiator special console
are used primarily to indicate that automatic maintenance
procedures are failed and manual attention is necessary.
CONCLUSIONThe electronic exchange work on the principle of stored
program control (SPC). At the call processing are performed on
the basis of a pre designed program which is stored in the
memory of a central processor. Though the initially designed
electronic exchange had single centralized processor, the control
is being decentralized providing dedicated microprocessor
controlled subsystem for improved efficiency and security of the
system. This modular architecture also adds future expansion.

INTRODUCTION:
From the ancient days it has been deepest human desire to stay closed with
those they need with. Many different ways have been evolved and
implemented to fulfill this; Telephony is also such a mechanism that uses
Telephone, electronic equipment that converts sound into electrical signals
that can be transmitted over distances and then converts received signals
back into sounds.
Electronic exchanges play major role in this system. Its a workplace
that serves telecommunication facilities where lines from telephones can be
connected together to permit communication. Thus the switching center
that houses the terminating and switching equipment is called TELEPHONE
EXCHANGE. Following are the types of exchanges where upon we have done
training and prepared this report:
