E-test-3 Flashcards
Define Multiplexing
Process that combines multiple channels or circuits onto one signal or trunk/aggregate for transmission
Define Overhead
Overhead is all the information -control, routing and error-checking characters -that is added in addition to user-transmitted data for quality control
Define Time Division Multiplexing
Means of obtaining a number of circuits over a single path by dividing the path into a number of time slots and assigning each channel its own intermittently repeated time slot
ID the operational configuration in which the Tactical Access Concentrator 300 (TAC-300) can be employed within a communications network
Can only be employed in a point-to-point configuration with other ATM multiplexers
ID the maximum number of circuits (port inputs) by type that the TAC-300 can accept
- 8 circuits
- (4 high speed serial and 4 T1s)
Define Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
High bandwidth, low-delay, connection-oriented, switching and multiplexing technique that allows the seamless end-to-end transmission of voice, data and video traffic
Define Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC)
- Static connection between two ATM ports
- Only method used in the Marine Corps
Define the purpose of the 4-port High Speed Serial CES Interface Protocol Option Device (IPOD)
- Provides connectivity for four EIA-530A DB-25 interfaces for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) serial connections at rates up to 20 Mbps port port
- Serial services such as VX-900, NIPRNET, SIPRNET circuits will utilize the HS CES IPOD
Define the purpose of the Circuit Emulation Quad DS1 Interface Protocol Option Device (IPOD)
- DS1 ports accept input from devices connected with RJ-45 connector terminated cables
- Each port supports up to 1.544 Mbps bandwidth, equivalent of a T1 connection
Define the purpose of the Serial ATM Expansion Protocol Option Device (XPOD)
- Serial XPOD, a single ATM high density serial port, is the backbone for all data transferred to and from TAC-300.
- Serial ATM XPOD provides an ATM cell stream over an RS-422/EIA-530 serial interface
ID the communications symbol used to represent the TAC-300
TAC-300 6 sided pentagon?
Signal Flow:
Packets/Voice > IPOD > CPOD > XPOD > Aggregated ATM cell stream
IPODs receive data/voice
CPOD segments and combines data/voice
XPOD pushes out the multiplexed data
VPI Values = 0-15
VCI Values = 19-2047 (1-18 reserved for management)
.
Define Symmetric/Asymmetric Trunk (SA-TRK)
- Medium by which a call leaves the node and enters the network
- Supports efficient transport of one-way and two-way calls between nodes
Define network employment configurations available while employing a Promina-based multiplexer
Promina based multiplexer networks can be established in a point-to-multipoint configuration
Define the number of T1s that the AN/TTQ-5 Deployable Integrated Transport Suite (DITS) can compress with its standard PrimeVoice Server (PVS-12) cardcomplement
