TheHypermapper device family integrates the SONET/SDH section, line, path, and tributary termination functions with M13/E13 multiplex functions and the primary rate framing function. The devices interface to multiple STS-3/STM-1 electrical signals or to an STS-12/STM-4 to allow for terminal or add/drop applications. TheHypermapper family of devices provide a versatile interface for all STS-12/STM-4, STS-3/STM-1, and STS-1 termination applications for point-to-point scenarios and ring applications. A singleHypermapper is capable of processing the aggregate bandwidth of one STS-12/STM-4 to 12 trans-MUXed DS3/E3s. Further, a single device can process the aggregate bandwidth of two STS-12/STSM-4s terminated to 24 clear-channel DS3/E3s. Additionally, a singleHypermapper can function as an STS-12/STS-3/STM-4/STM-1 add/drop MUX by terminating up to 12 STS-1/STM-0 channels or four AU-4 channels and by using the internal pointer processors to forward any nonterminating channels.
This document provides an overview of the SONET/SDH Hypermapper device. It also provides application diagrams, block description and lists all its features.
