As Next-Generation IP networks become a reality, the need for high density and high performance access for new telecom and IP telephony systems becomes critical. The CPC388, part of Performance Technologiesˇ¦ IPnexus™ product family, addresses these needs by providing telecom OEMs and integrators with a high density, highly advanced connectivity subsystem.
The CPC388 is ideally suited for both PSTN and IP telephony systems handling large volumes of voice circuits for protocol processing or for transfer to the H.110 bus, the PCI bus, Ethernet, or the onboard PTMC site. Application examples include SS7 network elements, wireless infrastructure equipment, media and signaling gateways, and telecom switching and routing equipment.
The PICMG 2.16 Compliant CPC388 is an adaptable platform designed with an onboard MPC8260 PowerQUICCII RISC communications processor. Combined with an embedded Linux operating system and dual onboard Ethernet, the CPC388 operates as a fully programmable communications subsystem capable of intra-chassis communication using the PCI bus, or Ethernet.

The architecture of the CPC388 capitalizes on the Motorola MPC8260 PowerQUICCII Processor. The advanced feature set of the MPC8260 allows for superior handling of 8 fully channelized T1/E1/J1 spans, increasing the number of possible active protocol links.
Critical to any telecom system is the ability to "hot swap" its board level components. The CPC388 fully complies to the latest PICMG hot swap specification. 80mm LIMs for the CPC388 improve reliability by being fully passive (no active components).
The CPC388 also supports the ECTF H.110 specification. By incorporating the H.110 interface device, the CPC388 can send or receive any of its possible time slots to the J4 connector. The CPC388 can switch all 256 of its DS-0 channels to any of the 4096 H.110 CT bus channels.
Other features of the CPC388 include 128MB of DRAM allowing the CPC388 to execute protocols and WAN applications directly onboard. It also provides a monitor port and console port for upgrades and management.
The CPC388 is enabled with the Linux-based NexusWare development environment. Due to the wide acceptance and extensive number of publicly available applications and protocols, system developers can bring sophisticated systems to market in a much shorter time.
With a well defined API, the integrated protocol suite from Performance Technologies reduces time to market by eliminating unnecessary development time at the hardware/protocol level. The protocols for our standard WAN hardware products enable development engineers to proceed directly to integration and application development.
Performance Technologies' comprehensive suite of WAN communications protocols provides complete WAN connectivity solutions for SS7, Channel7 MTP-2, Frame Relay, HDLC, LAPD, X.25, and PPP protocols. Operating system support includes Solaris, Linux, and Windows NT.
For the Solaris environment, Performance Technologies' ChanneLink™ Communications Software provides both a transparent link to all SunLink protocols, as well as a documented set of driver primitives for developing T1, J1 or E1 related applications.
