Description
The VSC9186 is a bidirectional quad STS-48/STM-16 or OC-192/STM-64 framer and pointer processor. In addition to full path overhead monitoring, section and line termination are available on line inputs and outputs. A bidirectional protection interface allows both line and tributary traffic to be looped back simultaneously through a companion device. The UPSR is implemented entirely in hardware driven by the STE/LTE logic, pointer interpreter and path overhead monitor.
