T43/BIB-NIU - E1/T1 mapping
Overview of
T43/BIB-NIU
connection
The NIU network interface (E1/T1) links connect to a single T43 (CIM) or BIB
(BIM) board on top of the cabinet by a single backplane connector and cable.
NIU to T43/BIB
mapping and
command ID
One T43 or BIB board is connected to the BCU. Only six network interfaces
are used, three pairs to the master NIU modules, and three pairs to the
redundant NIU modules. Each NIU is identified in the database by an identity
number, from 0 to 3, as shown in the final column of Table 6-5.
NOTE
The redundant NIU modules are only redundant in the
sense of being supplied by a different BPSM, and can
thus continue to operate if the Master BPSM fails. All NIUs
are available for separate use.
Table 6-5 defines the mapping from the T43/BIB connector to NIU boards.
