General Product Description Sopho 2000IPS Release 12.2, August 2006NEC Philips Unified Solutions UPD 30 of 259© NEC Philips Unified Solutions, 2006. All right reserved.Reproduction in whole or in part is prohibited without the written consent of the copyright owner.2 System configurations2.1 Module configurationsThe SOPHO 2000 IPS uses a modular Port Interface Module (PIM) design, reducedenergy and space requirements, flexible universal port architecture, Flash ROMtechnology and high reliability.The SOPHO 2000 IPS consists of a single or multiple Port Interface Modules (PIM),depending on the system configuration; there are two types of PIMs; “Physical” PIM and“Virtual” PIM.The Physical PIM is “hardware” PIM which is used to accommodate an MP, FPs, IPPADs, legacy LT cards, AP cards, and power supply units. Up to 8 Physical PIMs can beaccommodated in a Stand Alone system. Port Interface Modules can accommodate four,eight and 32-port line/trunk (L/T) interface cards and the Application Processor (AP)cards. Because of a highly integrated Central Processor Unit the SOPHO 2000 IPS alsoeliminates the need for some separate application processor cards by combining theirfunctions onto its CPU.The Virtual PIM is a “software” PIM and provides up to 64 ports per PIM for use bysystem programming as DtermIP telephones, Wireless PS stations or Peer to Peer (PTP)CCIS trunks.The system consists of up to 16 PIMs, by the combination of Physical PIMs and VirtualPIMs, thus providing 1020 ports. When the use of Virtual PIMs exceeds 8 then thenumber Physical PIMs is reduced by one for each additional Virtual PIM required.out of1 to 8 Physical PIM.The PIM has special slots for the CPU and FP cards and 12 universal slots for LineTerminating circuits (LT) and Application Processor circuits (AP); although the slots canaccommodate both LT and AP cards.The first PIM (identified as PIM0) contains the CPU and a 1024x1024 TDM switchingmatrix, TDSW, with 1024 x 64kbps channels in and 1024 x 64kbps channels out (= non-blocking).512 ports of the TDM switch are reserved forLine Terminating circuits (LT), for:o analogue terminals, with 4 or 8 port analogue station cardso proprietary digital terminals (Dterm digital), with 2 or 8 port digital station cardso ISDN video and data terminals, 2 circuit ISDN station card; note not suited for S0voice terminalso analogue trunk linesand for IP-PAD Application Processor circuits (AP):o to address proprietary IP terminals (Dterm IP), accessed via IP PacketAssembler/Disassembler circuits (IP-PAD) with 8 or 32 channelso The IP-PAD can be expanded with voice compression circuits (VCT) for IP voiceover WAN – rarely used in a LAN, 16 channels on a card. (for more details on theIP-PAD card, refer to section 2.8 )256 ports of the TDM switch are reserved for:Application Processor circuits (AP), for:
