System 922 PFT for T1 Robbed Bit & ISDN PRI

Overview

System 922 PFT for T1 Robbed Bit & ISDN PRI

The System 922 is a completely self-contained backup phone system that extends the concept of power failure transfer (PFT) to multiple DS1 T1 or ISDN PRI circuits. The System 922 goes to work automatically when normal operation of T1 RBS or ISDN-terminated customer-premise equipment (CPE) is inhibited due to a power failure, software problem, or hardware malfunction. When such a failure occurs the System 922 goes into the transfer mode, immediately taking control of the T1 or PRI circuits. Personnel at the site are then able to receive inbound calls and place outbound calls with minimal interruption.

The System 922 is connected between customer-premise equipment and the network connections. It combines the capabilities of multiple channel banks with integrated CSUs, an automatic call distributor (ACD), a 2-channel recorder/announcer, and a 48-station “micro” PBX. Note that the internal CSU’s functionality is provided for use by the System 922 only. It is not available for use by the CPE.

The main component of a System 922 is the Basic Configuration Unit which consists of either a wall-mounted or rack-mounted enclosure containing a CPU card, a dual DS1 interface card, a power supply card, and six “option” card slots. Depending on the requirements of the particular application, up to six 938A or 939 analog cards can be installed in the enclosure. Each 938A analog card provides eight ports that meet the technical requirements for Off-Premise Stations (OPS) including 20 Hz bridged ringing, disconnect signaling, and standard progress tones. The 938A analog card supports the connection of eight DTMF-dial analog telephones or loop start trunk ports of a key system. The 938A analog card can also support analog caller ID. The 939 analog card emulates eight FXS (subscriber) loop start circuits and can answer incoming analog calls and initiate outbound analog calls.

The System 922 can support both T1 Robbed Bit signaling and ISDN PRI signaling. When in the transfer mode for T1 Robbed Bit signaling, the System 922 provides communication for all 24 channels supplied by each of the network T1 circuits. The channels can be configured for any combination of inbound, outbound, or two-way (including two-way DID) signaling.

When in the transfer mode for ISDN PRI, the System 922 maintains D-channel synchronization and supervision, processing all call traffic “call-by-call” on each DS1 interface. Each of the 23 B channels of the PRI circuit are dynamically assigned and automatically configured based upon the requirements of each call presented to System 922. When the System 922 is in the transfer mode, incoming calls can be directed to:

Individual analog telephones, routed by the System 922 upon predefined DNIS table match-and-route instructions.

Individual CO loop start trunks using the 939 analog card.

Any of up to 32 ACD groups of analog phones, again routed by the System 922 based upon predefined DNIS table match-and-route instructions. Each of the ACD groups has adjustable parameters, including queue and overflow depth.

Calls received by one analog telephone can easily be put on hold or transferred to another telephone using the standard switch-hook flash convention.

Any of up to 48 pre-selected off-site telephone numbers, with or without an intermediate voice messaging. Routing of incoming calls by the System 922 to a particular off-site telephone number can be based on predefined DNIS table match-and-route instructions.

A voice message, providing the caller with prerecorded information.

System 922 Typical Installation

Whenever the System 922 is in control of the network circuits, on-site personnel can use the analog phones to make outgoing calls. They access the PSTN networks by dialing a one- or two-digit access code.

A flexible, menu-driven software configuration system allows support personnel, using VT100 terminal emulation, to customize the operation of their System 922. Configurable parameters are robust and include inbound call routing, outbound call access, security, and ACD operation. The menu system also provides a real-time view of the unit’s operating status.

The System 922 is powered by –48 Vdc. In most applications, either the Gordon Kapes, Inc. Model 732A or Model 734A DC Power Supply with Battery Back-Up is recommended. Both power supplies are CUL LISTED. As the System 922 uses low-power circuitry, extended operating time from the UPS can be expected. The System 922 is FCC registered.
