ALCATEL SPRITE PCI T1/E1 NETW ORK INTERF A CE C ARDS | REL. 1 . 0 The SPRITE PCI T1/E1 Network Interface Cards are the first PCI cards from Alcatel to provide direct connectivity from a Sun SPARCstation or a server directly into the wide area network (WAN). With these cards, users of the Alcatel 5620 Network Manager (NM), formerly the 46020 Network Manager*, benefit from cost-effective routing of control packet switching system (CPSS) traffic in a secure, manageable environment. SPRITE PCI cards enable users to minimize costs and maximize network efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple 8230 MainStreet Ethernet Little Bridges. Newbridge Networks**, in conjunction with Brooktrout Technology Inc., developed the first PCI T1/E1 network interface card that provides channelized T1 (1.544 Mb/s) or E1 (2.048 Mb/s) connectivity directly to Sun SPARCstations, SPARCservers, UltraServers and Netra Internet Servers. Fractional and full T1/E1 services directly to a Sun UltraServer, SPARCstation, SPARCserver or Netra Internet Server ALCATEL SPRITE PCI T1/E1 Network management Applications requiring SPRITE PCI support CPSS SPRITE PCI cards are installed in the 5620 NetworkStation for The 5620 communicates with network nodes using CPSS, an networks with up to 20 domains. Used in this manner, the SPRITE Alcatel proprietary packet switched, error correcting system. CPSS PCI card provides the following advantages for CPSS routing: ensures the efficient transport of information by preventing corrupt supports multiple gateway links or duplicate packets from entering the management network. As provides direct gateway connection, which reduces hop count well, to prevent overloading of the management bandwidth, by one packet timers ensure that stray packets do not remain in the routes data as opposed to simply bridging data network. CPSS messages carry: fills a T1/E1 link completely, since it is a fully channelized cardstatus information so that the nodes can construct routing tables does not require a major address in its associated domaincontrol information so that the 5620 can send commands to the nodes The SPRITE PCI card provides connectivity to the 5620-managedtiming information between nodes that have automatic network networks. It is a fully channelized card that can completely fill a synchronization enabled alarm information for the 5620 to gather diagnostic information T1/E1 link. performance information for the 5620 to gather statistics Note: Customers ordering the SPRITE PCI card for the 5620 CPSS must upgrade to 5620 Release 3.2, while those ordering the card for non-CPSS applications will be able to configure it without the 5620 Release 3.2 upgrade. The configuration code will be included with the SPRITE PCI CD that is shipped with the card.
