Integrated DS1 Transport Configuration with 
SLC 
LineReach
 Access System
2
The 
SLC LineReach 
Access System supports DSX-1 electrical interface options 
by using the AUA61E LIU. The DSX-1 LIU meets all requirements in the digital 
cross-connect specification. The LIU has equalizer switches that provide 
equalization to the DSX cross-connect. The maximum separation between the 
SLC LineReach 
system and DSX cross-connect is 655 feet of 22 gauge cable 
(see 915-710-115, 
Series 5 Applications Engineering
). 
SONET Transport
2
An OC-1 optical ring can serve as a DS1 transport between the switch, INA, or 
COT interface and the 
SLC LineReach
 system. An example of this type of 
transport uses the DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer wideband shelves. The 
wideband shelves must be hosted by either a DDM-2000 Multiplexer OC-3 shelf or 
the SONET subsystem of a 
SLC-
2000 Access System to provide single-end 
operation of the SONET system (allows for an interface to provide OAM&P 
functions).
In this application, an optical multiplexer (either a DDM-2000 OC-3 shelf or a 
wideband shelf) accepts DS1 feeders from an integrated LDS or a COT and 
multiplexes them onto an OC-1 ring. If using a 
SLC
-2000 COT, the COT can 
multiplex the analog lines directly onto an OC-1 ring. At the 
SLC LineReach
 
remote terminal location, the wideband shelf demultiplexes the DS1 feeders from 
the OC-1 ring and sends them to the 
SLC LineReach
 system. For this application, 
the 
SLC LineReach 
system must contain AUA61E LIUs. 
A single OC-1 ring can support up to 14 Mode 1 (48 lines, 2 DS1s), 28 Mode 1 (24 
lines, 1 DS1), or 28 Mode 2 (48 lines, 1DS1) 
SLC LineReach 
systems. If you need 
to support more 
SLC LineReach 
systems, you can upgrade the OC-1 ring to an 
OC-3 ring by changing hardware and, if necessary, software in the SONET 
equipment. A single OC-3 ring can support up to 42 Mode1 or 84 Mode 2 
SLC 
LineReach 
systems. 
Figure 2-46 shows an integrated application using a SONET OC-1 ring. In this 
example, a DDM-2000 Multiplexer OC-3 shelf is collocated with the LDS. The OC-
3 shelf not only multiplexes the DS1 signals (from the DS1 feeders) onto an OC-1 
ring, but also hosts the wideband shelves in the ring.
