Product Introduction
1-53610-A2-GB46-60 December 1996
• Models: There are two versions of the Model 3610
standalone MCMP/Flex:
— 2-port MCMP/Flex
— 6-port MCMP/Flex
With either Flex model, each port
can be set
independently as either an EIA-232 or V.35
interface. Model 3611 provides EIA-232 for
Ports 2–6.
• Number of addr
essable devices:
Supports up to
40 tributary DSUs or 20 tributary DSUs with
DBMs, each equipped with an MCMP circuit card.
• Multipoint dial backup: Provides multipoint
service restoration with extended bridges using the
Network Interface configuration option to allow
dial backup.
Digital Bridge Capability
Digital bridging is primarily used for dedicated
multipoint dial backup. The ISDN, dial, or
switched 56 kbps network provides backup support.
The digital bridge capability is dedicated to a single
DSU. The DTE connected to the DSU is usually the
controlling DTE of a multipoint network. Configure the
TDM/MCMP option to provide the digital bridge
capability.
Digital bridging, when used to support dedicated
multipoint dial backup, includes the following features:
• Number of tributaries:
Provides dedicated
multipoint dial backup for up to 20 tributary DSUs.
• Partial and full backup: Provides multipoint dial
backup for both partial and full backup on DDS
multipoint circuits.
• Restoration:
When the DSU rate equals the DBM
rate, preconfigured tributary DSUs can
automatically drop the backup connection and
switch back to the DDS facility when the DDS
network is restored.
