CPC396 Dual T3/H.110 TDM Circuit Switch
The desire for density and high performance in Next-Generation telecom and IP telephony systems continues to grow at a rapid pace. The CPC396 Dual T3/H.110 TDM Circuit Switch, part of Performance Technologiesˇ¦ IPnexus™ product family, meets these needs by providing telecom equipment manufacturers and integrators with full switching of two DS-3 communications interfaces (1344 DS-0s) on one single or two independent H.110 buses.
The CPC396 has been specifically designed to be the ideal adapter for IP telephony applications requiring the manipulation of large numbers of voice and data circuits from the telco network to the H.110 bus. The CPC396 helps designers of carrier-grade VoIP, VoATM, VoDSL media gateways, wireless infrastructure equipment, and other voice/data devices get to market quicker and more profitably.
The PICMG 2.16 compliant CPC396 is an adaptable platform designed with an onboard MPC8260 PowerQUICII RISC communications processor. Combined with an embedded Linux operating system and dual onboard Ethernet, the CPC396 operates as a fully programmable communications subsystem capable of intra-chassis communication using the PCI bus, or Ethernet.

| Rear Panel I/O with Passive Transition Module | Passive transition module facilitates hot swap and eliminates failure points |
The architecture of the CPC396 capitalizes on the Motorola MPC8260 PowerQUICCII Processor. The advanced feature set of the MPC8260 allows for superior handling of two fully channelized T3 spans (1344 DS-0s) as an entire stand-alone subsystem.
In addition, the CPC396 offers two fully-channelized T1/E1/J1 ports. These ports can be used for various applications such as signaling or system management over a WAN connection.
The CPC396 supports complete DS-0 to DS-3 multiplexing. It can switch 1344 DS-0 channels (2688 time slots) to a single H.110 bus (J4) or it can be used to switch the 672 time slots of each T3 link to a dedicated H.110 channel. Supporting the ECTF H.110 specification, each T3 span can link to either the standard J4 or proprietary J3 connector.
The CPC396 complies fully to the latest PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap specification, enabling trouble-free hot insertion and extraction of modules, a critical requirement in building a carrier-grade system.
Other features of the CPC396 include 64MB of DRAM allowing the CPC396 to execute protocols and manage extreme DS-0 density directly onboard. It also provides a monitor port and console port for upgrades and management.
Running the Linux-based NexusWare development environment, the CPC396 is a complete, stand-alone TDM switch that may be managed via the cPCI bus, console port or redundant out-of-band Ethernet ports via SNMP or TCP/IP based API.
It includes client and server support for TFTP system upgrades, BootP and DHCP, as well as local (CPCI bus) and remote APIs for Solaris, Linux, and WindowsNT.
