Configuration options 59In a distributed system, subscriber connections are the same at localIPE modules as they are at Remote IPE modules or small cabinets.Furthermore, because Remote IPE equipment uses common and networkequipment from the local system, subscriber functions and features arethe same at local and remote sites.Figure 19 "Large System to Remote IPE site" (page 59) illustrates thefiber-optic connection between a local system and remote system.Figure 19Large System to Remote IPE siteFiber Remote Multi-IPE InterfaceThe Fiber Remote Multi-IPE Interface links a Large System with one ormore Remote IPE sites to provide Meridian 1 Large System functionality.Since the remote IPE system uses the Common Equipment and NetworkEquipment of the associated local Large System, it can deliver the samefeatures and functionality as the local system.
