TELinDUS
Cardnest CN4
The 19’ rack-mountable system (Cardnest CN4) is equipped with 15 card-slots, 30 interface-slots and two power-slots. It provides a high-density solution for the Telindus access equipment’s with densities of up to 30 or 60 modems in one nest (depending on the modem type). Interface plug-in modules (maximum two per card-slot position) are plugged into the available interface-slots on the back of the CN4. A high-speed management bus permits the management of all the equipment installed in the CN4. For this purpose a controller card can be mounted in the chassis. Since the high-speed management bus can be cascaded over several cardnests, one single controller card can control up to seven cardnests and all the remotely connected equipment. The CN4 cardnest is designed to provide full power redundancy and to generate the required alarms to the management system, should one of the power sources fail. The cardnest is also equipped with an output for local alarm generation. The first desktop system (Desktop CN4/4 slots) offers the same features as the rack mountable system. However it comes as a compact desktop unit with four card-slots, eight interslots and two power-slots. The second desktop system (Desktop CN4/2 slots) is a compact low-cost system with two card-slots, four interface slots, and an integrated power supply. All CN4 systems are designed to be directly powered at-48 Vdc. In this case no additional power module is required (no CN4 power slots are used)-48 Vdc is directly routed to each card in the system. This approach has advantages in reducing the costs of investment, and offers full implicit redundancy for the powering of the equipment. Additionally the system increases the MTBF value of the global system, since there won’t be any ‘hot-spots’ caused by the power-module.
