BACKPLANE
SECTION 23 BACKPLANE
23.1 DESCRIPTION
The 3000 Series Switch shelf backplane contains
slots that modules are inserted into, to derive the
module address. The backplane distributes:
• Power
• PCM paths
• Master clock
• Master sync
• Intra-Terminal data bus
• Channel status bus
• Control lines for data busses
The backplane has active circuitry that distributes
PCM paths, master clock and master sync. The back-
planes are connected together for complete distribu-
tion of receive and transmit signals to all shelves
within the Switch.
