Introduction

Overview

The CSP 2090 and CSP 2110 are both non-blocking 2000-plus port switches, uniquely designed to meet the demands of contemporary telecommunications by delivering high-performance, fault tolerant switching in a compact microprocessor-based design. A typical mid-range configuration consists of: a 2,048 port CSP Matrix Series 3 Card residing in a 20 slot chassis, a fully configurable combination of line and services cards, and a host interface.

The CSP 2090 and CSP 2110 support common channel signaling packet engines for both ISDN and SS7 communications. Line protocol cards include E1, T1, DS3, and J1 services. Standard and custom tone generation and reception, precise call analysis, conferencing and voice recorded announcements are provided through an advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) unit available for the CSP. The CSP communicates with the host application using Ethernet links.

The CSP 2090 and CSP 2110 can operate as either a stand-alone switch, or as a node in a larger system, supporting scalability to over 30,000 non-blocking ports.
