EWSD ELECTRONISCHE WHELER SYSTEME DIGITALE

Introduction:
EWSD is the abbreviated form of German equivalent of Electronic Switching System Digital (Electronische Wheler Systeme Digitale). EWSD Digital switching system has been designed and manufactured by M/s Siemens, Germany.

SYSTEM FEATURES:
EWSD system can withstand a BHCA of 4 million with CP113C in case of EWSD Power mode (two million in case of EWSD Classic). It can work as local cum transit exchange and supports CCS No.7, ISDN and IN and V5.X features

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE:
Digital line unit (DLU) Line/Trunk Group (LTG) Switching Network (SN) Coordination Processor (CP) Common Channel Signalling Network Control (CCNC) Unit or Signalling System Network Control (SSNC)

DLU (DIGITAL LINE UNIT):


It is a functional unit on which subscriber lines are terminated. DLUs are connected to EWSD sub-systems via a uniform interface standardized by CCITT i.e. PDC. One DLU is connected to two different LTGs for the reasons of security via two 4 Mbps links. Total 124 channels are available between a DLU out of which the two LTGs signalling information is carried in TS16 of PDC0 and PDC2.

Applications and connection of Digital Line Unit:

One DLU can carry traffic of 100 Erlangs. For emergency service DLU-controller (DLUC) always contain up-to-date subscribers data. Stand Alone Service Controller card (SASCE) is provided in each R-DLU for switching calls in emergency cases. All DLUs are provided with a Test Unit (TU) for performing tests and measurements on SLCAs/ (subscriber line ckt. Analog), subscribers lines and telephones.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF DLU:


SLMAs and / or SLMDs Two Digital Interface Units for DLU (DIUD) for connections of the PDCs. Two DLU Controls (DLUC). Two 4 Mbps networks for the transmission of user information between SLMs and the DIUDs. Two control network for the transmission of control information between SLMs and DLUCs. Test Unit (TU), External Alarm module (ALEX).

LTG (LINE/TRUNK GROUPS):


The line/trunk groups (LTG) forms the interface between the digital environment of a EWSD exchange and the switching network (SN). Maximum traffic handling capacity per LTG is 100 Erlang.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF LTG:


Call processing functions receiving and analyzing line and register signals. Safeguarding functions detecting errors in the LTG and on transmission paths within LTG. Operation and maintenance functions acquiring traffic data, carrying out quality-to-service measurements.

FUNCTIONAL UNITS OF THE LINE/TRUNK GROUPS:


Line / Trunk Unit (LTU). Digital Interface unit (DIU30) for connection of 2 Mbps digital trunks and either DLU or PA. Code Receivers (CR) are Multi-frequency code receivers for trunks or DTMF subscribers. Conference Unit, module B or module C (COUB or COUC) for conference calls. This is installed in special function LTGMs or LTGNs. Automatic Test Equipment for Trunks (ATE: N) checks trunks and Tone Generators (TOG) during routine tests. This is installed in special function LTGMs or LTGNs.

Internal Structure of LTG:

Signalling Unit (SU):


Tone Generator (TOG) for audible tones. Code Receivers (CR) for MFC signalling and push-button dialling. Receiver Module for Continuity Check (RM: CTC), etc.

Group Switch (GS):


This functions as non-blocking time stage switch (512 TS) controlled by the GP.

Link Interface Unit (LIU):


Connects LTG to SN via two parallel 8 Mbps SDCs.

Group Processor (GP):


Controls the functional units of the LTG. The received signals from LTU, SU, GS and LIU are processed with the help of GP software.

SWITCHING NETWORKS:
Different peripheral units of EWSD, i.e., LTGs, CCNC, MB are connected to the Switching Network (SN) . Through 8192 kbps highways called SDCs (Secondary Digital Carriers), which have 128 channels each. It consists of several duplicated Time Stage Groups (TSG) and Space Stage Groups (SSG) housed in separate racks. Connection paths through the TSGs and SSGs are switched by the SGC. Each TSG can accommodate 63 SDCs from LTGs and one SDC to MB.

COORDINATION PROCESSOR:
Storage and administration of all programs, exchange and subscriber data. Processing of received information for routing, path selection, zoning, charges. Communication with operation and maintenance centres. Supervision of all subsystems, receipt of error messages, alarm treatment, error messages. Handling of the man-machine interface.

BASIC FUNCTIONAL UNITS OF CP 113C:


Base Processor (BAP) For operation & maintenance and call processing. Common Memory (CMY) 64 to 1024 MB in 4 memory banks consisting of 4 Mb DRAM chips. Input / Output Controller (IOC) 2 to 4 IOCs coordinate and supervise accessing of CMY by IOPs. ATM Bridge Processor (AMP) If a SSNC (EWSD powermode) is connected, the AMP is used. It represents the interface between the ATM equipment in the SSNC and the CP. Input/output processors (IOP) Various types of IOPs are used to connect the CP113C to the other subsystems and functional units of the exchange as well as to the external mass storage devices.

Hardware Structure of CP:

COMMON CHANNEL SIGNALLING NETWORK CONTROL (CCNC):


It consists of: Up to 32 signalling link terminal (SILT) groups, each with 8 signalling links and One duplicated common channel signalling network processor (CCNP).

FUNCTIONS OF CCNC:
In the originating or destination exchange in associated signalling, it operates as signalling end point (SEP). In transit exchange in quasi-associated signalling, it operates as a signalling transfer point (STP).

Common Channel Signalling Network Control:

10 | P a g e

SIGNALING SYSTEM NETWORK CONTROL (SSNC): a) ATM Switching Network ASN (2 module frames for ASN 0 and 1):
Switches the communication- streams of the individual SSNC functional units with MB-D and CP. Switches the communication-streams between the individual SSNC functional units.

b) SSNC basic frames SCB:


Line Interface Card (LIC) -The duplicated Line Interface Card LIC forms the physical interface between the SSNC units and the SS7 network. Main Processor MP: MP: OAM: MP for Operation, Administration and Maintenance. MP: SLT: MP for Signalling Link Termination. MP: SM: MP for Signalling Manager. MP: STATS: MP for statistics. ATM Multiplexer Type-E (AMXE): Provides 32 x 207 Mbps ATM interfaces to connect the internal SSNC units LIC and MP and the optical cables to the AMP of the CP and MBDA of the MB.

c) Extension frame SCE (maximum 7 for 1500 signalling channels)


The SCE contains a duplicated AMXE and serves to include other MPs and LICs.

System Panel Layout:


The system panel SYP is used for the visual and audible signaling of critical alarms, major alarms, minor alarms, advisories and system data both within the exchange and externally. The system panel consists of the system panel control (SYPC), which is housed in rack R:MB/CCG or in rack R:SE, and a maximum of 8 system panel displays (SYPD).The SYPDs may be located in the exchange, in a maintenance center or at any other location from which the exchange is to be supervised.
