Q

PATH NETWORK COMMUNICATION or TRANSPORT:

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Signal Code
  • SCADA
  • Fare Collections (OPAL/CUBIC)
  • LENEL
  • CCTV
  • PAWNET - Handreaders, workstations, VOIP, Phone / Voice Gateways.
  • Radio
  • Public Address
  • PAX
  • INTER-COMM
25
PATH NETWORK MGMT: | CISCO Solar winds, NMS to monitor outages, traffic/patterns
Manage/Monitor PATH Network around clock from several locations. • Con-Shop, NOC @ JSQ, Supervisors Office
26
SONET:
(Synchronous Optical Network) SONET is data converter, converts data into light to transmit over Fiber.
27
SDH: | Synchronous DATA Heirarchy.
• Standard Protocol to transfer multiple data bits streams over Fiber (T1/Ethernet).
28
PATH SONET TOPOLOGY: (2 seperate ONS Data Network Rings) 3 per network = 6 Rings total
3 Rings per network = 6 Rings total • Each Network arranged into 3 rings for 6 SONET rings (3 per network)
29
DWDM: | Dense Wave Dividion Multiplexing
• Combines multiple inputs Into diff. Color single output wavelength channel.
30
NETWORK RING:
* Each ring is called a LOOP (3 LOOPS) LOOP 1,2,3 | * Core DATA Centers involved in all 3 Rings
31
PATH SONET TIMING/NTP:
* High Accuracy Timing for SONET Networks (from CESSIUM BIT Clock @ HOBAN) * NTP - Network Timing Protocol for logging and other devices from 2 NTP Servers @ PTCC
32
INVERTER:

PATH LAN NETWORK:
Encompasses the Access and Core Layers
44
LAN - ACCESS LAYER
• 327, 454, DWDM all connect to access switches in the field (Cisco 2960). • Always 2 of them labeled 2960-1/2960-2 Located in DCE-A/DCE-B cabinets. • For all CLIENT connections.
45
LAN - CORE LAYER
* 2 Data Centers: HOBAN/PTCC * Each Data center has A side / B side. * Redundant Supervisory Cards/Power Supplies * Key Services and Access switches are “Dual Homed” to A/B sides of Data Center.
46
GENERAL NETWORK INFO: | Speeds
* Bandwidth measured in (bps) * Speed in Network - 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps,10Gbps, 40Gbps.. Diff rates means Diff fiber pluggables. * CAT5/6 have distance limit of 100m (use Ethernet to fiber extenders to overcome this) * Single Mode Fiber typically used. * Some Multi-Mode is used for DWDM clients in Data Centers.
47
GENERAL PATH NETWORKS: | Power
* Remote Comm rooms use 2 discrete power sources - “House and UPS“ Power. * SONET, DWDM, 2960s have dual power supplies. * Local UPS are at some sites for critical devices such as “SONET and LANTRONIX” for Signal Code.
48
GENERAL PATH NETWORK: | Netbotz/Solar Winds
* Tools to Manage and Monitor Path Network * NETBOTZ - environmental monitor for temperature and humidity (used everywhere we have SONET). * SOLAR WINDS is network monitor system for up/down status, temperature info via SNMP Ping protocols.
49
PATH NETWORK SERVICES: | communications or transport only
``` • SIGNAL CODE • SCADA • FARE COLLECTIONS (Opal, Cubic) • LENEL • CCTV PAWNET (Handreaders, Workstations, VIOP Phones and VGs) ```
50
