3 Subrack equipment
2 basic configurations are possible for this subrack : with CNCC and without CNCC in the
subrack.
Network controller CNCC equipped on subrack :

1 CNCC unit in position 13;

1 PCM controller unit in position 12;

1 DC/DC converter in position 11;

the positions 1 to 10 can be equipped with channel and signalling units or auxiliary
units.
Network controller CNCC not equipped on subrack :

1 DC/DC converter in position 13;

1 PCM controller unit in position 12;

the positions 1 to 11 can be equipped with channel and signalling units or auxiliary
units.
Remarks :
Channel units (CSU's) with different signalling types can be combined in one subrack.
Units in the positions 1 to 5 have access to bus 2, units in the positions 6 to 11 have access
to bus 1. If the number of channels on the CSU's is different and/or some CSU's have a
programmable CTC and some have not, the position of the CSU's is determined by some
rules :

for CSU's with a non-programmable CTC (CTC1 or CTC2) the position of the channel
signals on the internal buses is fixed : it is determined by the position of the CSU on
the subrack. They should be placed as indicated in the first part of the table on the
next page :
 the CSU's with 3 channels are mounted, starting from the position with the lowest
number on each bus (position 6, 7... for bus 1 or 1, 2... for bus 2).
 the CSU's with 5 channels are mounted, starting from the position with the highest
number on each bus (position 11, 10... for bus 1 or 5, 4... for bus 2).
 the position of the channels on the internal buses to the PCM controller is given in
the second part of the table on the next page.

for CSU's with a programmable CTC (CTC3) the position of the channel signals on the
internal buses can be chosen freely and is determined by means of man-machine
commands, refer to section 3 of the manual : installation. They can be placed on any
of the remaining places. The same applies for units which are not provided with a
CTC but with a control circuit offering the same possibilities.

however for a CSU with programmable CTC and 15 channels, the channel selection
on the internal buses is limited to either the first or the last 15 channels of the bus. So,
precautions have to be taken that no other CSU's use either the first or the last 15 bus
channels.
When the channels on the CSU's occupy more than 30 time slots, at least one CSU should
be placed in such a position that the corresponding channels are connected to bus 2. In
this way the system configuration can be adapted, if required, by means of man-machine
commands only and without the need to rearrange the subrack layout.
In case of channel drop and insert or digital channel distribution, up to 5 slave PCM
controller units can be mounted. They should be placed preferably in the positions 6 to 11
(in position 1 to 5 the bus 1 and bus 2 are interchanged, which may lead to confusions).
A second DC/DC converter can be mounted in one of the positions 1 to 10 (option).
Auxiliary units, if required, can be placed on any of the remaining places. Remark that the
1VF tone generator occupies up to 5 time slots on the internal bus 1 or 2.

In case 1511BA with clock protection the slave PCMC controller unit can be mounted
in position 10 or 11.
