DynaFlex sDXC Digital Cross Connect System

The sDXC is a member of Avara’s DynaFlex Multiservice Access platform

with management plane security allowing operators to cross connect up
to 60 x E1 interfaces at an Nx8kbps granularity. Designed in a modular
manner, the sDXC offers a highly reliable cross connect solution ideal for
use in critical infrastructure networks where resilience to cyber threats is
essential.
The sDXC node comprises of multiple sDXC4 Additionally, Avara’s ASPeCT Manager
Interface Units that are plugged into the can be used to manage the sDXC over an
DynaFlex subrack. encrypted connection for secure access.

Each sDXC4 unit provides 4 x E1 physical
interfaces for traffic with support for up to 15
such units per sDXC node allowing the node
to support a fully non-blocking 60 x E1 cross
connect at an Nx8K granularity.
Reliability through Modularity
With the sDXC’s distributed architecture, should
an interface unit malfunction, only the cross
connects associated with the failed interface unit Standards compliant performance
will be affected allowing the rest of the node to monitoring, numerous loopbacks, statistics
continue operating.
Synchronisation
The sDXC offers a number of node and network
synchronisation options necessary to implement
high availability critical networks. Multiple
timing inputs and timing priority lists are
available so that should the preferred input
timing reference to a node fail, alternate sources Technical Highlights
can be activated in a prioritised manner. The
sDXC also supports the distribution and usage
of timing status over timeslot 0 to support loop
and mesh type applications.
Protected Connections
The sDXC supports protected services
(Y-branching) whereby two different routes
through the transmission network can be
established and protected conditionally based
on incoming pilot bits. These pilot bits can be
transported over any bit in any timeslot or via
CAS.
Data & Voice Summing
The sDXC also support summing & conferencing
functions whereby a number of voice or data
channels can be summed/conferenced together • 4 x G.704/2M Balanced (120 Ω) or
to support point-to-multipoint applications.
Configuration, Monitoring & Alarms with
Security
The sDXC can be managed using the Q1
D14021401 Revision 9
When AAA servers are available, RADIUS
can be used for centralised user access
management. Multiple servers are
supported enabling administrators to
implement their corporate security policies
to meet statutory obligations associated
with the protection of Critical Infrastructure
against cyber threats.
and diagnostics on E1 and Ethernet
interfaces are available to facilitate fault
management and isolation.
