INTRODUCTION TO THE EWSD SYSTEM

The EWSD system is divided into different functional areas called subsystems coordinated by a central system Each subsystem having its own microprocessor control example: Group Processor in the LTG (Line /Trunk Group) in the functional area of Access. They may be divided into the following units Control Switching Signaling Access Power

EWSD SYSTEM LOGICALLY LOOKS LIKE THIS

CONTROL
Control belongs to the area which is responsible for the coordination of the various subunits. Control consists of the following:
Coordination Processor (CP) Message Buffer (MB) System Panel (SYP) Central Clock Generator (CCG)

CONTROL
COORDINATION PROCESSOR

The CP performs the following functions in a network node:

Call processing Operation and maintenance Safeguarding

CONTROL
MESSAGE BUFFER
The task of MB is to control the exchange of messages between the following subsystems:

Coordination Processor (CP) and line/trunk groups (LTG): Commands and Messages CP and switch group controls (SGC) of the switching network: Setting commands for the SN LTGs among one another: Reports LTGs and the common channel signaling network control (CCNC):Orders

CONTROL
CENTRAL CLOCK GENERATOR In order to switch and transmit digital information, the sequence of operations must be synchronous throughout the equipment involved.

This requires a clock supply with a high level of reliability, precision and consistency for all the nodes in the digital network.
This task is fulfilled by the central clock generator (CCG).

CONTROL
SYSTEM PANEL

The purpose of the system panel is to display alarms and advisories of internal and external supervisory units outside the system) both visually and acoustically.

It is divided into two parts namely the System Panel Control and the System Panel Display unit.

SWITCHING

By virtue of its high data transmission quality, the switching network can switch connections for various types of service (for example telephony, facsimile, teletext, data transmission).
This means that it is also ready for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).

SWITCHING
(CONTINUED)

Duplicated (full redundancy) Highly-Integrated switching network modules One space stage module can handle up to 1024 simultaneous calls with full redundancy Interfaces of 8,192 Kb/s available within Highly compact design from space-saving point of view An exchange of 10,000 subscribers may accommodate the SN in a single rack Two kinds of connections: Switched & Semipermanent

ACCESS
This includes: Line / Trunk Group (LTG) Digital Line Unit (DLU) Digital Announcement System (DAS

11

ACCESS
LINE/TRUNK GROUP (LTG)
The line/trunk group (LTG) forms the interface between the digital environment of the node and the digital switching network (SN). The LTGs perform non-central control functions and thus relieve the coordination processor (CP) of routine work. Several LTG types are available for optimal implementation of the various line types and signaling methods. The two main types of LTGs (differing in their functionality) used are:

LTG-B LTG-C
12

ACCESS
LINE/TRUNK GROUP (LTG)

LTG-B The LTGB is used for connecting: Up to four digital transmission routes (PDCs) for DLUs at transmission rates of 2048 kbit/s Up to four primary rate accesses (PAs) for mediumsized and large ISDN PABXs (ISDN subscribers with PA) at a transmission rate of 2048 kbit/s

13

ACCESS
LINE/TRUNK GROUP (LTG)

Line Trunk Group type-C The main components of the LTG-C are the same as that of an LTG-B just that there is different software downloaded into this LTG type. This software is capable of handling different kinds of signaling over the trunks.

ACCESS
DIGITAL LINE UNIT

A digital line unit (DLU) can be used to connect subscriber lines and PBX access lines.
The DLU can be operated either locally, or remotely in the network node.

ACCESS
DIGITAL LINE UNIT

Ringing and Metering Voltage Distribution Each ringing generator and metering voltage generator (RGMG) has access to a distribution system for ringing and metering voltage (ringing and metering bus).

RGMG supplies all mounting locations for analog subscriber line modules SLMA via ringing/metering bus.
17

ACCESS
DIGITAL LINE UNIT
Subscriber Line Modules (SLMs)

The subscriber line modules (SLMs) form the interface to the subscriber. These are either analog or digital (ISDN). With analog modules these are of two types namely non-commercial and commercial. The commercial-type modules can supply metering pulses to the subscriber as at standard 12KHz or 16KHz frequency.

SIGNALING The EWSD digital electronic switching system can control connections to and from other network nodes using all the common signaling systems. The signaling functions in an EWSD networknode are handled by the "common channel signaling network control (CCNC)".
19

SIGNALING
One system that is particularly suitable for stored-program-controlled digital nodes is signaling system no. 7. This transports signaling information separately from the user information (voice, data) on common-channel signaling links.
