Need Euro/Asian Trunking help please! 2

[pronei]

I've been tasked to support several locations in the EMEA & APAC regions.

I thoroughly understand trunking in the North American market, however I'm not familiar with the EMEA & APAC hardware that is used in conjunction with trunking.

Could someone with EMEA & APAC experience please explain how these cards function?

DTI-QPC536 - This looks similar to a QPC720, it's a double wide card and appears to require a QPC414 ENet card.
1. Is this card simply the E1 equivalent of the QPC720 (USA T1/PRI Card)?
2. Does it require the use of a QPC414 Enet card?
3. Does it have a DCH Daughterboard or use an MSDL card?
4. Can this card reside in any available PE slot to obtain power only?
5. Is this card a single or dual E1 card?

MFC-NT5K21 - This card resides in an IPE Shelf, it appears to be similar to the old class modem CLID cards. I've never seen one of these cards.
1. What does it do?
2. How is it programmed?

Thanks Guys!

QPC536 is very old (have to dig out some training manuals for more info) but it uses an eNet to get traffic on/off the backplane and may also wire out to clock controller cards so the switch can be sync'd to the carrier.

DTI is Channel Associated Signalling (CAS), no DCH so no MSDL needed.


There was a PRI2 version too, it used a ENet for traffic (30 voice timeslots) and a MSDL for the DCH.


NT5D97xx (think it's up to NT5D97ADE5 now) is the new all in one version, it uses a NTDK50 DDCH daughterboard (as on 11C/CS1000e) and is a lot neater to work with. NT5D97 is single-width, takes up 2 loops on the shelf and does 2x DTI2/PRI2 (2Mbps) so a lot more compact... it's very similar to the current T1 versions so you should be fine with that.



MFC is a Multifrequency Compelled Signalling card, check the rel 25 NTPs for more info on those. Used as a carrier signalling protocol. Bit of a nightmare to set up as country settings don't seem to be well documented anywhere.

Thank you! I tried to give you a star, but it doesn't seem to be working, I'll try again later.
