C - DOT

SEA (switching exchng assembly)division of ITI Mankapur produces exchng

for fixed line .C-DOT is one such exchng .its technology is Indian .
• CDOT DSS MAX IS A UNIVERSAL DIGITAL SW .this can be
confifured for diff appl. As local transit or integrated local & transist sw .
• High traffic / load handling capacity upto 8 LACKS BHCAwith
termination capacity of 40,000 lines . as local exchng or 15000 trunks as
Trunk Automatic Exchhg.

Flexible architecture
• It is possible to upgrade a working CDOT SBM or MBM exchng to
provide ISDN service by adding min additional hardware while retaining
the existing hardware .
• It supports ISDN subscribers thru remote sw unit(RSU). The processor
architecture is characterised by distributed control & message based
comm. In order to achieve a loosely coupled for flexible system
architecture.
• Software is written in HLL-“C.”

Basic building modules of C-DOT DSS MAX

• Base module(BM)
• Central module(CM)
• Administrative module(AM)
• i/o Module (IOM)

Base Module
It interfaces the external world to the sw thru subscri.lines like analoge & digital
trunks, CCM(coin collect metering ) & PBX lines. Each BM can interface upto
2024 terminations. It carries out majority of call processing functions along with
maintenance& operation funct with the help of IOM.
In Single Base Module(SBM) exchng configuration , the BM acts as
independent sw sys & provide connections to 1500 lines &128 trunks .
In such configuration ,BM directly interfaces with IOM for bulk data
storage,operations & maintenance functions .
Clock& synchro is provided is provided by the source within BM .

Central module
Consists of message sw space to provide inter module comm.& performvoicev
& data switching btw BMs. It also provides clock & synchro on a centralized
basis.
 Administrative module
Performs system level resource allocation & processing function on a
centralized basis. It performs all the memory & time intensive call processing
support functions & also administration & maintainance functions. It
communicates with the BM via the CM. It supports the IOM for providing man
machine interface. It also supports the Alarm Display Panel (ADP) for the audio
visual indication of faults in the system.

Input / Output module

It is a powerful duplex computer systemthat interfaces various secondary
storagedevices like disk drives, cartridge, tape drive & floppy drive.it supports
printers & upto 8 serial ports for video display units, which are used for man
machine communication interface.All the bulk data processing & storage is
done in this module.

Remote Switch Unit (RSU)

• RSU is an integral part of DSS architecture.
• In order to realise a RSU ,the normal BM can be modified for remating
with the host exchng via 2Mbps digital links .
• No. Of 2 Mbps links btw main exchng & RSU is primerly determined by
the traffic .
• A max 16 PCMs can be provided btw RSU & main exchng . analoge &
digital trunk interfaces are also implemented in RSU to support direct
parenting of small exchng from RSU itself instead of parenting it to the
main exchng .
• As far as call processing is concerned ,RSU is an autonomous exchng
capable of local call completion .in the event of failure of PCM links
RSU goes to standalone mode of operation .in case ,it is not possible to
process a call request due to unavailability of links to the host ,the
subscriber is connected to appro.tone or announcement.

Common Channel Signalling # 7 (CCS#7)

It is implemented in CDOT DSS to provide value added services in netwk
eg.intelligent netwk services,ISDN services .ISDN serv.are the most widely
used carriors to transport the bulk volume of data . with the increasing use of
internet access , the use of ISDN interface is likely to go up as it has to provide
reliable access to the user @ 64/128kbps.It integrates computer on telephone on
single access.

Redundancy
To meet the stringent availability CDOT DSS employs “hot standby
techniques” for all processor complxes so that event of the failure of any one
security block not more than 8 subscrib . will be effected .
Hardware crosslink btw have been planned in such a way that even failure 2
dissimilar processors donot effect the sys performance . In the event of failure
of 1 unit ,other units will share its load preventing the disruption of services.

C –DOT Card Assembly

The basic work of this shop is to design & assemble various sorts of cadrs
which are used for connection & control of subscriber lines & inserted in the
rack of C – DOT telephone exchange in their respective places.In C – DOT
exchange ,mainly 3 kinds of cards are used :
• CLR (Control Line Rack) Cards group
• CNR (Connection Network Rack) Cards group
• SPL (Special Line Cards) Cards group

Assembling a card consists of following steps :

• Component forming
• PCB Preperation & component fitting
• Baking
• First stage manual insertion of components on PCB
