SYSTEM BUILD-UP AND DESCRIPTION
===General Description===
The existing ASACOM system ASA101 can be expanded by adding one or more STENTOFON AlphaCom E exchanges. The two systems are interconnected via a SGA65008 interface unit that acts as a virtual AlphaCom E node. The interface is handling all the signaling between the systems. Audio links are connected to the standard multi purpose interface cards for the respective system. Stations and equipment in both systems will interact as part of the same system. The AlphaCom E IP services can be accessed from the ASA101 system.
Data
Data are transmitted via Ethernet link between the AlphaCom E and the interface. The interface will convert and send information to the ASA101 system via the proprietary serial protocol ASKNEW.
Audio
The audio interconnection between ASA101 and AlphaCom E is analogue. - There are maximum 4 channels in twisted pair cables between the multi purpose board(s) ETCB in the ASA101 and the multi purpose board AGA in AlphaCom E.
Audio switching control (Duplex/Simplex)
The voice switching will take place individually in the different systems.
Programming
Individual programming will be carried out in each system: - In ASA101 the programming for ETCB is performed from a programming station - AlphaPro and AlphaWeb are used for the AlphaCom E part - Interface programming with standard Windows® text editor.
