When installing a new Coral FlexiCom 6000 system, it is recommended that the time
slot (PCM highway) distribution among the peripheral shelf slots be taken into
account when planning the peripheral interface cards location.
Each Peripheral Shelf Unit (even and corresponding odd shelf, or only even shelf) is
supplied with a total of 512 time slots between a maximum of 36 card slots. The time
slots from the PB-ATS card, are evenly divided to 4 groups of 128 time slots and
distributed between
slot sets
of each Peripheral Shelf Unit. The time slot (PCM)
distribution per slot set can be seen in
To ensure efficient use of time slots, it is recommended to distribute
heavy consumer
cards (cards with a large number of ports: 30T/x, T1, PRI-30, PRI-24, IPG, PUGW,
UGW-E or UGW with MG-30 or MG-60 units) evenly among the slot sets, i.e. one
heavy consumer card per card slot set. The least blocking sets are the slot sets that have
the highest ratio of
