With the introduction of PCI Express®
servers as the latest standard for PCI-based
solutions, telecom OEMs and integrators will
require high-density, highly advanced I/O
solutions for use in these new servers.
Coupled with powerful I/O and enabling
software, these new servers allow for the
creation of high-density, high-performance
access solutions for telecom and IP
telephony systems.
The PCE385 is ideally suited for both PSTN
and IP telephony systems that are built on
PCI Express architecture and that are
capable of handling large volumes of voice
circuits either for protocol processing or for
transfer to the H.100 and PCI Express Buses.
Application examples include SS7 network
elements, wireless infrastructure equipment,
media and signaling gateways, and telecom
switching and routing equipment.
The PCE385 is an adaptable platform
designed with an onboard Freescale™
MPC8280 PowerQUICC® II RISC
communications processor. Combined with
an embedded Linux® operating system, the
PCE385 operates as a fully programmable
communications subsystem capable of intrachassis communication using the H.100 bus.
Hardware Features
The PCE385 architecture capitalizes on the
MPC8280 PowerQUICC II processor. The
MPC8280 advanced feature set allows for
superior handling of four fully channelized
T1/E1/J1 spans, increasing the number of
possible active protocol links.
The PCE385 also supports the ECTF H.100
specification. By incorporating the H.100
interface device, the PCE385 can send or
receive any of its possible time slots to the
front panel. The PCE385 can switch all 128
of its DS-0 channels to any of the 4096
H.100 CT bus channels. Other features
include 128 MB of DRAM, which allows the
PCE385 to execute protocols and WAN
applications directly onboard. It also
provides a monitor port and a console port
for upgrades and management.
