DBM Types
Three dial backup modules (DBMs) are available. A
DBM is optional and provides an alternate data path in
case the digital connection fails. Each of the three DBM
types listed below occupy one slot in the COMSPHERE
3000 Series Carrier.
DBM-V
A DBM-V is used for point-to-point dial backup and
provides multipoint dial backup with a digital bridge. The
DBM-V provides a carrier-mounted, 14.4 kbps V.32bis
module that is compatible with the DBM associated with
3600 Series DSUs and with a COMSPHERE 6700 or
6800 Series NMS.
DBM-S
A DBM-S provides the capability to utilize the 4-wire
switched 56 kbps digital service to back up a failed
multipoint DDS circuit via a digital bridge. It is
particularly useful in an MCMP backup environment. The
DBM-S can be used on switching services that are
compatible with AT&T, MCIr, and US SPRINTr using
dedicated 4-wire access.
DBM-D
A DBM-D provides the capability to utilize the 2-wire
switched 56 kbps digital service to back up a failed
multipoint DDS circuit via a digital bridge. It is
particularly useful in an MCMP backup environment. The
DBM-D can be used on switching services that are
compatible with Northern Telecom’s DataPatht service
using dedicated 2-wire access.
