14 Product description

All Large Systems consist of Universal Equipment Modules (UEM) stacked one on top of another to form a column. Each column contains a pedestal, a top cap, and up to four modules. A system can have one column or multiple columns.

Each UEM is a self-contained unit that houses a card cage and backplane, power and ground cabling, power units, input/output (I/O) panels, circuit cards, and cables. When the card cage is installed, the function of the UEM is established and the module is no longer "universal." The system modules are as follows:

•

NT4N41 Core/Network module for CS 1000M MG, CS 1000M SG, Meridian 1 PBX 81C CP PIV, and Meridian 1 PBX 61C CP PIV

•

NT5D21 Core/Network module for CS 1000M HG, CS 1000M SG, CS 1000M MG, Option 51C, 61C and 81C

•

NT8D35 Network module required for CS 1000M MGand Meridian 1

PBX 81C CP PIV, Option 81C

•

NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) module (required for

Large Systems)

•

Fiber Remote IPE module (optional for Large Systems Multi Group)

•

Carrier Remote IPE module (optional for Large Systems)

The pedestal generally houses a blower unit, air filter, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), and System Monitor.

The top cap provides airflow exits, I/O cable entry and exit, and overhead cable-rack mounting. Thermal sensor assemblies for the column are attached to a perforated panel on top of the highest module in the column, under the top cap.

A system can have one column or multiple columns. To comply with FCC and CSA standards for containing electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), spacer kits connect the columns in a multiple-column system. If a Signaling Server is added to a previously CISPR Class B system (previously used in some specific countries), the system is now Compliant to Class A.
