Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication equipment technology, and in particular to a device that combines SDH and PCM functions. Background Technology
[0002] SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) technology defines a complete set of hierarchical standardized digital transmission structures. It can multiplex various digital service signals as payloads (payload refers to the service information bit portion of the network node interface bitstream) into standardized framed bitstreams according to a prescribed structure. After scrambling and electrical / optical conversion, these streams are transmitted over optical fiber lines. It also defines a unified rate series and a unified interface standard. Currently, a consensus has been reached worldwide on the basic software and hardware issues of SDH.
[0003] The SDH frame structure reserves a certain proportion of overhead for the network management system, which greatly enhances the network's operation, maintenance and management functions, facilitates centralized and unified management, and significantly saves on maintenance costs.
[0004] SDH offers high transmission rates and large capacities, leading to the development of self-healing networks to ensure transmission quality. A ring network composed of SDH equipment with self-healing protection can automatically switch to an alternative route and reconfigure services to maintain normal communication in the event of a partial network failure, without human intervention.
[0005] Therefore, SDH optical transceivers are widely used in scenarios requiring high data transmission rates, long transmission distances, and high transmission reliability.
[0006] The technical principle of PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is based on digital-to-analog conversion.
[0007] PCM systems sample, quantize, and encode analog signals to generate digital signals. These digital signals are then encoded and modulated before being transmitted via a digital transmission network.
[0008] If the receiving side needs to reconstruct the analog signal, then the receiving end needs to perform demodulation and decoding operations in reverse.
[0009] PCM technology is often used to digitally upgrade traditional copper cable transmission systems (such as old-fashioned telephone systems).
[0010] Because PCM has a narrow bandwidth, it can only support relatively low-speed data transmission. Furthermore, PCM has a relatively simple structure, resulting in lower network reliability and a higher susceptibility to bit errors under high-speed and high-density transmission conditions.
[0011] Therefore, PCM is mainly used for low-speed data transmission and in scenarios where the data transmission distance is short. Utility Model Content
[0012] In existing communication network practices, users often need to simultaneously support the transmission of both low-speed and high-speed services while ensuring transmission quality and distance. Therefore, it is often necessary to combine SDH and PCM equipment to form a relatively complex communication system; SDH is responsible for backbone transmission, while PCM is responsible for low-speed service signal access, in order to meet the requirements.
[0013] By combining the technical features of the two devices, this utility model provides a new integrated device that is small in size, aesthetically pleasing, easy to install and operate, and supports SDH transmission interface protocol and PCM services.
[0014] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A device that combines SDH and PCM functions; the device's chassis is a 19-inch 1U high enclosure; the device's motherboard consists of a system control circuit, a transmission link interface, a power interface, several functional module slots, and wiring ports; the functional module slots can accommodate several E1 modules, Ethernet modules, telephone modules, and other service modules; the transmission link interface can be a single SFP optical port or dual SFP optical ports.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the connector of the wiring port can be an RJ45 socket, which can be directly connected to an RJ11 or RJ45 plug, or can be connected to DB9, DB25 and other types of connectors through a conversion cable.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: a) Simplify the network structure, reduce complexity, and facilitate management and maintenance; b) Offers multiple transmission channel options and supports self-healing ring structures; c) Provides 32 user-selectable interfaces, offering a wide variety of options to facilitate the access of various services; d) The voice interface supports caller ID; e) Can provide a reverse polarity signal; d) Supports remote diagnostics and network management monitoring; comprehensive status display functions facilitate maintenance and management; f) Small size, beautiful design, and easy installation and operation.
