LSUv3 Wired Interface Cards

A wide range of interface options are available for the LSU equipment family, in order to support all the commonly used Telecom interconnection options.

STM-1/SDH (Channelized) Interface Cards

The 2-port STM-1/OC-3 Channelized line card provides E1/DS1 aggregation for the LSU product family. The card interfaces with LSU internal H.110 bus and provide two OC-3/STM-1 duplex SC single mode optical interface. Complete payload monitoring and simulation of 1 STM-1 SDH interface is available.
An optional Rear I/O Panel (IRGE) provides a dual CESoP processor and Gigabit Ethernet interface for TDM over IP bridging.

ISTC Main Features

  • 2 STM-1/OC-3 optical interfaces
  • Complete range of E1/T1 multiplexing options (e.g. 63 E1 or 84 T1/J1)
  • Fractional E1/T1 support
  • H.110 interface and internal switch matrix
  • Complete compatibility with testing software over PCM lines

IRGE Main Features

  • TDM to IP packet bridging (CESoP Processor)
  • Dual Gigabit-Ethernet interface

Serial Controller Cards

PSC Serial Controller Cards take charge of the sampling and low level processing of protocol data acquired through E1/T1 or STM-1 SDH cards. The PSCC-1K card connects to the TDM interface cards through the H.110 bus, while the newest versions with CESoP processor (PSCE-1K) connects to the line interfaces through Gigabit Ethernet.

PSCC-1K Main Features

  • General purpose HDLC (ISO 3309)
  • OSI Layer 2 protocol support (LAPB, LAPD, Frame Relay, SS7, ...)
  • Transparent mode (unformatted data) support
  • Configurable logical channels with sub/hyper-channelling support
  • H.110 bus interface
  • 4 D-phone devices

PSCE-1K Main Features

  • General purpose HDLC (ISO 3309)
  • OSI Layer 2 protocol support (LAPB, LAPD, Frame Relay, SS7, ...)
  • Transparent mode (unformatted data) support
  • Configurable logical channels with sub/hyper-channelling support
  • CESoP Processor
  • Gigabit Ethernet interface for TDM to IP packet bridging

STM-1/ATM Interface Cards

For ATM connectivity over STM-1 links, two options are available: the dual-port (ISTM-02) card and the quad-port (ISTM-04) PMC card both suitable also for bi-directional monitoring over STM-1 links.

ISTM-02, ISTM-04 Main Features

  • STM-1/OC-3 Framer
  • High performance ATM SAR
  • AAL0, AAL3/4, AAL5 support in hardware
  • AAL1, AAL2 support in software

E1/T1 Interface Cards

IPC cards provide connectivity for E1/T1 lines (balanced/unbalanced, software selectable). Different card versions allow cost effective and scalable monitoring and simulation solutions. The newest versions with CESoP processor (IPCE-16) allows TDM to IP bridging and transport over Gigabit Ethernet. IPCM-04 has been designed to work within the micro-LSU product.

IPCE-16 Main Features

  • 16 E1/T1/unframed line interfaces
  • H.110 bus interface

  • PLL clock synchronisation via internal/external source

IPCM-16 Main Features

  • 16 E1/T1/unframed line interfaces
  • H.110 bus interface
  • 1-2-4 bit subchanneling support
  • PLL clock synchronisation via internal/external source

IPCM-04 Main Features

  • 4 E1/T1 line interfaces
  • 256 Channels SCC on board
  • H.110 bus interface
  • General purpose HDLC (ISO 3309)
  • PLL clock synchronization via internal/external source
  • OSI Layer 2 protocol support (LAPB, LAPD, Frame Relay, SS7, ...)
  • Transparent mode
  • Configurable logical channels with sub/hyper-channelling support
