Course Content (100% Theory)
SDH technology overview
• Features and requirements, structure, multiplex
types, interfaces, services carried, network sections,
light sources. SDH Overheads: MSOH, RSOH, BIPn, VC3/4
overhead, VC-12 overhead. Pointers: justification
mechanism, AU and TU pointers. Network Architectures:
the network architectures and how they work in terms
of protection. Network synchronisation: timing options
and order of events during multiplex section failures.
Planning and Design: capacity planning and topology
options.
ISDN technology overview
• Features and requirements, CCS, Basic Rate
Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface (PRI),
B, H and D channels, ISDN signalling, ISDN protocols:
I.430, Q921, Q931, Q932, Call Setup dialogue. Planning
and Design: capacity planning.
ATM technology overview
• Basic principles, types of traffic supported,
ATM reference model, Functions and protocols of the
AAL, virtual paths, virtual circuits, permanent and
switched VCs, IP networks terminology, VPI, VCI, ATM
Header, Classes of service: CBT, VBR nrt, VBR rt,
ABR, UBR, QoS parameters. Planning and Design: capacity
planning and support infrastructure options.
DSL technology overview
• Principles, comparison with FTTH and LMDS,
differences between ADSL and G.Lite, SDSL, IDSL, VDSL,
CPE, DSLAM, RAN, Authentication, FTTC, transmission
concepts, ADSL over ISDN, use of splitters, comparative
speeds.
Planning and Design: capacity planning and support
network options.
