Superloop provides an increase in traffic capacity by implementing 120 time
slots for each Extended Network (XNET) Card, combining loops into groups
of four, and sharing resources across the four loops. Each Extended
Peripheral Equipment Controller can support between one half and four
Superloops, regardless of combination, in XNET Card to DS-30X loop
configurations.
The Extended Peripheral Equipment Controller packs allow monitoring of
power and control functions for individual line cards. These packs also
control the ringing cadences for analog (500/2500 type) telephones (set in
firmware). The packs communicate with the Meridian 1 by way of the XNET
card, which in turn communicates directly with the Meridian 1 using the time
slot-1 address.
The Extended Analog Line Card (XALC) collects dial pulses (during dial-
pulse dialing) and, upon digit recognition, sends the digit as a message to the
Meridian 1.
An Extended Digital Line Card (XDLC) provides voice TNs on units 0-15,
and data TNs on units 16-31.
These extended packs provide enhanced maintenance and diagnostic
functions. Accompanying enhancements to the Meridian 1 diagnostic
routines allow for the handling of this Meridian 1 equipment.
Operating parameters
The Extended Conference and TDS (XCT) card is not supported with
Supplementary features (XCT loops cannot be configured in LD 97 if the
International Supplementary Features (SUPP) package 131 is equipped).
Meridian 1 peripherals will only be available on network-enhanced machine
types.
No extended or enhanced SL-1 telephone line card is available. SL-1
telephones and the data products associated with the SL-1 line card must be
configured on Existing Peripheral Equipment (EPE) shelves (for instance,
SL-1 line cards must be configured on non-Meridian 1 shelves).
