TBOS Telemetry Cabling - Front Access
NOTE:
TBOS is not available in OC-12, Release 7.
Description
NOTE:
Telemetry byte-oriented serial (TBOS) telemetry cable installation should be per-
formed if specified in the order. 
TBOS is a serial telemetry interface providing system alarm and status data to a 
maintenance center and remote equipment switch (RS) capability from a maintenance 
center. 
One connection from the telemetry equipment provides up to eight displays and can 
accommodate up to eight DDM-2000 OC-12 shelves (a shelf is assigned a display). A 
central office shelf and its associated remote terminal shelf (or shelves) will typically be 
assigned displays associated with this single interface connection. 
Additionally, other DDM-2000 OC-12 shelves in the bay may be assigned remaining 
displays associated with the single interface connection. This is accomplished using 
intershelf mult cabling. Bays equipped with more than two DDM-2000 OC-12 shelves 
may require additional TBOS connections to the telemetry equipment. 
Connection of TBOS telemetry requires a TBOS telemetry system in the office, and 
thus TBOS telemetry is only used in a central office environment. 
There are two options for cabling TBOS: 
Cable directly to TBOS equipment 
Cable to another shelf. 
As mentioned in the description, a TBOS cable is required to be routed from the TBOS 
telemetry system to the DDM-2000 OC-12 bay to accommodate the maximum of three 
shelves in a bay. 
The cable for multing TBOS also provides the intershelf mults for the craft interface 
terminal (CIT) and modem. This mult cable will be installed in the “Intershelf Mult Cable 
Installation - Front Access” procedure.
