DETAILED REPORT
C-DOT SBM/MBM
The C-DOT DSS Family

1.1.1 GENERAL
C-DOT DSS MAX is a universal digital switch which can be configured
for different applications as local, transit, or integrated local and
transit switch. High traffic/load handling capacity up to 8,00,000
BHCA with termination capacity of 40,000 Lines as Local Exchange or
15,000 trunks as Trunk Automatic Exchange, the C-DOT DSS family is
ideally placed to meet the different requirements of any integrated
digital network.
1.2. BASIC GROWTH/BUILDING MODULES

C-DOT DSS MAX exchanges can be configured using four basic modules
(Fig. 1.1)
• Base Module
• Central Module
• Administrative Module
• Input Output Module
i) BASE MODULE
The Base Module (BM) is the basic growth unit of the system. It
interfaces the external world to the switch. The interfaces may be
subscriber lines, analog and digital trunks, CCM and PBX lines. Each
Base Module can interface upto 2024 terminations. The number of
Base Modules directly corresponds to the exchange size. It carries out
majority of call processing functions and, in a small-exchange
application, it also carries out operation and maintenance functions
C-DOT MAX 1
with the help of the Input Output Module.
In Single Base Module (SBM) exchange configuration, the Base Module

acts as an independent switching system and provides connections to
1500 lines and 128 trunks. In such a configuration, the Base Module
directly interfaces with the Input Output Module for bulk data storage,
operations and maintenance functions. Clock and synchronization is
provided by a source within the Base Module. It is a very useful
application for small urban and rural environments.
ii) CENTRAL MODULE

Central Module (CM) consists of a message switch and a space switch
to provide inter-module communication and perform voice and data
switching between Base Modules. It provides control message
communication between any two Base Modules, and between Base
Modules and Administrative Module for operation and maintenance
functions.
iii) ADMINISTRATIVE MODULE

Administrative Module (AM) performs system-level resource allocation
and processing function on a centralized basis. It performs all the
memory and time intensive call processing support functions and also
administration and maintenance functions. It communicates with the
Base Module via the Central Module. It supports the Input Output
Module for providing man- machine interface.
iv) INPUT OUTPUT MODULE (I0M)

Input, Output Module (IOM) consists of duplicated Input Output
Processor (IOP). The Input Output Processor (IOP) is a general-purpose
computer with UNIX Operating System. It is used as the front-end
processor in C-DOT DSS. It handles all the input and output functions
in C-DOT DSS. The IOP is connected to AP/BP via HDLC links.
C-DOT MAX 2
1.2 REMOTE SWITCH UNIT
Remote Switch Unit (RSU) is an integral part of C-DOT DSS
architecture. In order to realise a RSU, the normal BM can be modified
for remoting with the host exchange via 2 Mbps digital links. The
number of 2 Mbps links between the Main Exchange and RSU is
primarily determined by the traffic. A maximum 16 PCMs can be
provided between a RSU & Main exchange. Analog and Digital trunk
interfaces are also implemented in RSU to support direct parenting of
small exchanges from RSU itself instead of parenting it to the main
exchange which will ultimately save the media required from main
exchange..
During standalone mode of operation, the local and incoming

terminating calls in RSU are switched and the metering information of
all the RSU subscribers is stored in the RSU. It is sent to the host
whenever the PCM links are available again.
1.3. SYSTEM FEATURES

1.3.1 GENERAL FEATURES
This section includes system features related to the CTOD DSS MAX.
They are:
TYPES OF SERVICES
The CDOT DSS of different capacities can be put to use at various
switching nodes in the telecommunication network.
MAX
Main Automatic Exchange MAX is expandable to large capacities of
order of 2000 lines or beyond. The MAX may have Remote Modules
(RM) and Remote Line Concentrators (RLC) connected to it.
C-DOT MAX 3
RAX
Rural Automatic Exchange (RAX) is a small exchange and is expandable
upto 2000 lines capacity. Single Base Module configuration (i.e. CDOT
SBM RAX with or without concentration) comes under the RAX
category.
TYPES OF APPLICATION
The system can be put to the following applications:
Replacements
The exchange can serve as replacement of an existing switching
system due to be phased out from the network.
New Exchanges
Wherever new exchanges are opened, the CDOT DSS MAX can provide
the switching network within the existing telecom network.
Extensions
The capacity of an existing CDOT switching system can be increased.
For example if the capacity of an existing CDOT exchange is 512
points, it can be increased, to say, 4000 lines.
TYPE OF SYSTEM
The system is Stored Programme Controlled (SPC) which makes it
possible to work in attended/non-attended type of working
environment.
TYPE OF NETWORK
The switching network within the system is 4-wire digital.
TYPE OF COMPONENTS
The different type of components used include integrated circuits,
miniature relays, PCB, etc. The connecting scheme between various
modules emphasis connectorised hardware.

2.1 CDOT SYSTEM CAPACITY
2.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The capacity of C-DOT DSS is defined in terms of the following
parameters:
• .The termination capacity expressed as the number of lines and
trunks
• The amount of traffic (in Erlangs) that can be switched
• The number of Busy Hour Call Attempts (BHCA) that can be
processed with a given call-mix while meeting the overall service
quality requirements
2.1.2. TERMINATION CAPACITY

A Terminal Card is the basic system element. It interfaces/ terminates
the lines and trunks. The next higher element is a Terminal Unit. The
types of terminal cards and terminal units used in C-DOT DSS along
with its functions are explained in H/W description. Termination
capacity of a BM is 488 analog terminals and that of LM is 768 analog
terminals. A BM can be concentrated with 2 LMs to provide maximum
termination capacity of 2024 analog lines. In case of a BM, a maximum
of 256 B- channels can be provided for ISDN terminations at the cost
of 128 analog lines. In its maximum configuration of one BM and 2 LMs
with termination capacity of 2024 analog lines, 256 B-channels are
provided at the cost of 512 analog lines. One to one replacement of B-
channels is planned in immediate future.
