COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data Service Units 4-28 March 1999 3610-A2-GB41-60 MCMP Backup Backup may be achieved in one of five ways: • Case 1 – Dedicated MCMP Backup with Switched 56 DBMs ( Figure 4-21). In this case, two DBM-Ss are dedicated to the control DSU- MCMP .
Principles of Operation 4-29 3610-A2-GB41-60 March 1999 • Case 2 – Backing up as many channels as possible to the one most important tributary location ( Figure 4-22). In this case, the control DSU and the one tributary DSU selected for dial backup must be equipped with a DBM configured with MCMP Backup set to TDM.
COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data Service Units 4-30 March 1999 3610-A2-GB41-60 • Case 3 – Backing up one complete channel (both partial and full backup) ( Figures 4-23 and 4-24 ).
Principles of Operation 4-31 3610-A2-GB41-60 March 1999 When backup is provided for one channel, the MCMP circuit can support a total of five application channels, and the control DSU must have the backup port and the next highest port configured as an FEP port-sharing group.
COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data Service Units 4-32 March 1999 3610-A2-GB41-60 • Case 4 – Backing up ( up to ) three channels at each tributary via the FEP port-sharing feature ( Figure 4-25 ). In this case, each tributary DSU to be backed up must be equipped with a DBM and the MCMP Backup configuration option should be set to TDM.
Principles of Operation 4-33 3610-A2-GB41-60 March 1999 There are several restrictions to implementation: • There can be at most three DTE inputs (channels).
COMSPHERE 3600 Series Data Service Units 4-34 March 1999 3610-A2-GB41-60 • Case 5 – Aggr egate switched backup for MCMP circuits. An MCMP circuit can be backed up using the aggregate switch capability of the DSU.
