The cPCx Communications Control System is built around a non-blocking, standards
based Compact PCI digital platform supporting the H.110 bus architecture and IP
based telephony.
The cPCx includes redundant hot swappable power supplies as
well as redundant hot standby CommServers (master processors) running Windows 2008 server,
Penta PNET Server application, and remote management and access.
The cPCx uses a cPCI
chassis capable of integrating the control of as many as 4096 circuits using
high density digital interfaces. |

The cPCx is based upon
a redundant design using CommServers operating in a hot standby
configuration. Failure of the controlling CommServer will result in an
automatic transfer to the standby unit. CommServers are continuously
monitored to preclude silent failures. Manual switchover between CommServers
is also available. These CommServer computers are typically industrial
grade rackmount servers running Windows 2008 Server or later OS software.
Power supplies are
redundant, hot swappable, and configured in a hot standby fashion, as well. |
Each cPCI telephony
interface card has high powered processors to meet the needs of open
telephony interfaces (T1, E1, ISDN PRI, Loopstart, Ethernet, Subscriber
loop), sufficient DSP resources to provide enhanced services (switching,
signaling, Interactive Voice Response, Fax, Conferencing, SS7, VOIP), and
are all standards based in the hardware and software interfaces.
Programmability:
Penta shall perform initial programming and data base entry before system
shipment. The communications configuration of the system (line assignments to
consoles, etc.) may be edited in the field using menu-driven software; no
replacement or modification of hardware should be necessary. |

Common Controls
The central control
equipment is designed to digital open standards, redundant, non-blocking
switch. The common control is connected to the external circuits by means of a
protected distribution frame.
The common control
equipment consists of the following:
-
dual, redundant
processors (MTUs with monitor and keyboard)
-
cPCI chassis,
midplane to accept telephony cards in front and I/O modules in the rear
-
Channel
interfaces to radios, telephones, consoles, etc.
-
Redundant
hot swappable power supplies
-
All
communications with control console is via Ethernet network.
-
All
communication console audio can be carried using DS-0, VOIP, ISDN, or
analog. (VOIP is the preference)
The cPCx system is housed
in enclosed cabinets of approximately 2’ W x 2’ D x 7’ H. (Other cabinet
sizes are available.) |
Consoles
Each console position
consists of an OEM grade Core 2 Duo Computer running MS Windows XP, LCD display , two loudspeakers, a microphone, a footswitch, and a
headset jack box. Operators interact with the console GUI using a keyboard,
mouse and/or touch screen (optional). A VU Meter is standard on the console GUI
display. All communication with the master controllers are via Ethernet.
A Penta EASy Interface
Console Audio Controller provides the audio interface to the local audio devices
(microphones, speakers, PTT, etc). The Penta Console application requires only
a serial or USB connection with the EASy. The EASy interface unit is 8”x6”x2”
and can be easily located under the console desk.

·
Maintenance Applications:
Penta’s MMI testing application comes standard in the PNET Server software suite
and provides system diagnostic and testing capabilities for the user.
·
Management Information System:
Penta’s MIS/Event Logger is an application included in the PNET Server software
suite that records all system activity information, and stores that information
in a database. Connects, monitors, failures etc., may then be sorted based on a
variety of parameters using SQL database queries. Hourly, daily, weekly,
monthly, and yearly downloading of information is available.
