AT&T Service |
Node |
The above diagram shows first how an AT&T Customer with ISDN can either |
continue service with his local telephone co. or go with a direct link to the |
AT&T Service Mode. All lines going to an AT&T Service Node whether through |
Bell or a direct link terminate on either the 4ESS or the DACS. |
When a line terminates on a DACS it serves as an Integrated Access |
Distributor and sends the call to the 1PSS (Packet Switch) for Acunet Packet |
Service or to the 4ESS and then eventually out to the AT&T Network. |
The AT&T Internodal Network |
--------------------------- |
In the internodal network facility, AT&T is in the process of deploying both |
digital lightwave and digital radio systems. |
Lightguide Systems : |
In areas where growth is low, the FT3C and FTX180 Single mode terrestrial |
lightguide systems will be used between nodes. |
On high growth routes AT&T will install fiber pairs at line rates of 1.7Gb/s |
with 20 mile repeater spacings. |
Digital Radio : |
In the digital radio area, 4Gb/s systems such as the TD-90 and the TD-180 |
provide a vehicle for rapid expansion of digital connectivity. |
ISDN and Digital Switches |
========================= |
AT&T has redesigned the 5E Switching Modules in such a way that they are |
fully compatible with ISDN, but many of the existing 5E's and other switches |
were manufactured without ISDN capability. To meet this need, AT&T has |
produced ISDN interfaces that modularly connect to the system. Here is a |
diagram of a 5ESS Switching Module with interfaces : |

$ = ISDN V/D Terminal or Video Phone |

The two new hardware additions are : |
<1> Integrated Services Line Unit and |
<2> The Packet Switch Interface Unit |
These units allow a LOCAL 5ESS (or other digital) Switch to serve both ISDN |
and non-ISDN customers. These interfaces are integrated into a switching module |
in a way that will allow ISDN customers to maintain all their previous Bell |
services like Local Calling. Notice also that all lines, whether ISDN or not, |
terminate on the ISLU. |
Calling Party Identification |
============================ |
Discussed briefly in the preface of this phile, the ISDN enhanced Calling |
Party Identification service offered by AT&T ISDN will be into service along |
Subsets and Splits
