This application note provides detailed alternatives for transporting the Soneplex Broadband and Soneplex Loop Extender alarm and performance information from a remote location back to the central/hubbing location. The Soneplex Broadband System is used as an intelligent network hub for DS1 hicap distribution in the local loop. The network interface is one standard electrical DS3 signal. This DS3 signal is demultiplexed into twenty-eight DS1 circuits, which can then be delivered to up to twenty-eight remote locations utilizing either fiber or copper facilities | Application Note 1207 urn meptex Broadband and _ Soneplex Loop Extender Systems Alarm Performance Remote Retrieval Options Overview This application note provides detailed alternatives for transporting the Soneplex Broadband and Soneplex Loop Extender alarm and performance information from a remote location back to the central hubbing location.

CRAFT INTERFACE Figure 1 Overview The Soneplex Loop Extender System is an intelligent network element providing DS1 services in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint applications. The network interface is twenty-eight standard electrical DS1 signals. The system can be used in a stand-alone configuration or with any multiplexer or network element that generates a standard DS1 signal.

This signal is then transported to a remote DS3 FLC where it is converted back from an optical signal to an electrical signal. This system can be configured in an unprotected or 1 1 protected configuration. OSS Interfaces The Soneplex systems provide several different monitoring and alarming interfaces that may be connected either locally or remotely to an external alarm collection device. The Soneplex chassis has 5 physical ports used .
