Remote Line Concentrating Module (RLCM) - Ability to handle up to 640 lines. |
It uses host Line Concentrator Module (LCM) that can be used by the RSC or |
directly by the host DMS-100. |
Outside Plant Module (OPM) - Ability to handle up to 640 lines. This also can |
be used by the RSC or directly by the host DMS-100. |
Subscriber Carrier Module (SCM-100) - There are three basic types of |
SCM-100's: |
1- Subscriber Carrier Module Rural (SCM-100R) - This eliminates the central |
office Central Control Terminal (CCT) by integrating directly into the |
DMS-100 through the DMS-1 span lines. |
2- Subscriber Carrier Module SLC-96 (SCM-100S) - This gives a direct |
interface between DMS-100 and AT&T's SLC-96 digital loop carrier |
systems. |
3- Subscriber Carrier Module Urban (SCM-100U) - It's used as an interface |
to the DMS-1 Urban. The DMS-1 urban is a digital subscriber carrier |
system modified for use in Urban areas. It gives Plan Ordinary |
Telephone Service (POTS) and special services between a central office |
and residential and business communities. It has the ability to handle |
576 lines of POTS and special services. |
DMS-200 - Has the ability to handle from a few hundred to 60,000 trunks. This |
switch can also serve a Access Tandem (AT) function. The Traffic Operator |
Position System (TOPS) puts operator services into the DMS-200. Operator |
Centralization (OC) allows a single operator location by using the TOPS |
positions to transfer operator services from other DMS-200 toll centers. The |
Auxiliary Operator Services System (AOSS) let operator services on calls that |
need outside information (Such as Directory assistance). |
DMS-100/200 - Allows local and toll features described above but also includes |
a Equal Access End Office (EAEO)/Access Tandem (AT) combination. It has the |
ability to handle up to 100,000 lines or 60,000 trunks. |
DMS-250 - This is a high capacity toll system for specialized common carriers |
needing tandem switching operations. |
DMS-300 - This is a toll system designed for international use. To my |
knowledge there are only two DMS-300 switches in use at this time. |
DMS switches are divided into four "Functional" areas designed to do certain |
operations. These areas are: |
1- Central Control Complex (CCC) |
2- Network (NET) |
3- Peripheral Modules (PM) |
4- Maintenance and Administration (MAP) |
Here's a description of those areas. |
Central Control Complex |
Within the Central Control Complex (CCC), the main program in the switch |
controls the processing of calls, maintenance and administrative routines, and |
changes the activity for these routines to other areas of the switch. The CCC |
sends messages to the network, the maintenance and administrative areas trough |
message links and directs the functions to be run in those areas. |
Network |
The Network Modules (NMs) handle the routing of speech paths between the |
Peripheral Modules (PMs) and keep these speech connections for the rest of the |
call. The network handles message and speech links between the PMs and the |
CCC. |
Maintenance and Administration |
Within the Maintenance and Administration includes Input/Output Controllers |
(IOCs) - IOCs interface local or remote input/output devices. The I/O devices |
are used to do testing, maintenance, or administrative functions for the |
system. |
Peripheral Modules |
Peripheral Modules (PMs) are used as interfaces between digital carrier spans |
(DS-1), analog trunks, and subscriber lines. The PMs are used for scanning |
lines for changes of circuit state, doing timing functions used for call |
processing, creating dial tones, sending, receiving signaling, and controlling |
information to and from the CCC, and checking the network. |
Before 1984 only four types of PMs gave trunk interfaces to the DMS system; |
these include Trunk Modules (TMs), Digital Carrier Modules (DCMs), Line |
Modules (LMs), and Remote Line Modules (RLMs). Since then ten more have been |
added, these include Digital Trunk Controller (DTC), Line Group Controller |
(LGC), Line Trunk Controller (LTC), Line Concentrating Module (LCM), Remote |
Switching Center (RSC), Remote Line Concentrating Module (RLCM), Outside Plant |
Module (OPM), Subscriber Carrier Module Rural (SCM-100R), Subscriber Carrier |
Module SLC-96 (SCM-100S), and Subscriber Carrier Module Urban (SCM-100U). |
Here's and explanation of those modules: |
Trunk Module |
The Trunk Module (TM) changes incoming speech into digital format, it has the |
ability to handle 30 analog trunks. The Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) |
information is combined with the trunks supervisory and control signals then |
transmitted at 2.56 Mb/s over speech links to the network. |
