 INTRODUCTION

OCB-283is digital switching system which supports a variety of

comm. Like basic talephony,ISDN,interface to mobile
comm., data comm. Etc.
The first OCB-283 exchange of R-11 version was
commissioned in FRANCE & Beijing, CHINA.
The first OCB-283 exchange come to INDIA in
1993,subsequently the system has been upgraded and
currently ,R-20 was fully validated in January 1994.
There after time to time up gradation to this OCB-283 SYSTEM
was upgraded to R-25.

 Salient features of OCB-283
 It is digital switching system with an angle “T” stage switch a maximum of
2048 PCM can be conducted.
 Its supports both ANOLOG and DIGITAL subscribers.
 OCB-283 has a double recovery feature.
 Various units of 0CB-283 system are connected over token ring. This
enables fast exchange of information & avoid complicated links.
 The charge account of subscriber are automatically saved in a disk once
in a day , this avoid lose of revenue in case of total power supply failure.
 The exchange can be managed locally or from an NMC through 64 KBPS
links.
 All the control units are implemented on same type of hardware. This is
called a station.
 The ocb-283 systems are made up of 35 types of cards.
 The system has modular structure . The expansion can be very easily
carried out by adding necessary hardware & software.
 The Environment requirement of the system is very flexible. The system
can work at temp. 5-45°C ; through optimum temp. is 22°C.

 Subscriber Access Unit
Subscriber access unit (CSN) is so designed that they can be equipped
with analog or digital subscriber or both. The cards for both are
different but they can be equipped in any slot of the shelf.
CSN can be placed either in EXCHNAGE switch room or at a remote
location. CSN is known as CSNL or CSND.
Architecture OF CSN: The CSN have one BASIC RACK and up to 3
Extension Racks. The architecture can be divided into parts:-
 DIGITAL CONTROL UNIT(UCN):-
1: Control & connection unit (UCX)
2: Auxiliary equipment processing group (GTA)
Function Of Control Units:
 Multi resister (MR):- Call handler setup and release of call.
 Translator (TR):- Translation of digits, databanks of subscriber & circuits in
files.
 Marker (MQ):- Message distribution between common control & connection
units.
 Charger (TX):- Computing the charges of a call, keeping meter.
 Matrix System Handler (GX):- Process & make connection in switching matrix
on the order from MR or MQ.
 Common Channel signaling Network Controller:- Manage the CCS#7 network
for signaling.

 TRUNK & JUCTION
CONNCTION UNIT(SMT)

 This is also known as PCM trunk control station. This unit is

an interface between PCM junction coming from other
exchange & switch. The current version of SMT in India is
SMT 2G.
 In each SMT 2G , there are 8 modules & in each module
there are 16 PCMs. Thus there are 128
SAB PCMs, in single SMX

 Switching Network
 The switching matrix in OCB-283 is ‘T’ system. It is made up
of:
1-Host switching matrix (SMX)
2- Branch selection & amplification (SAB) function
The host switching matrix consists of two identical branches A
& B. This is implemented on the hardware units known as
2048×256

 Time Base Generator (STS)

Time base generator is required to synchronize PCM links

connection units like CSNL,SMT & SMA etc. The time base is
generated by synchronization and time base station (STS) &
distributed to the branches of the switching network.
These branches then redistributed the time base to above
mentioned connection units along with LRs.

Operation & Maintenance Unit
(SMM)
 SMM station in ocb-283 performs the O & M functions.
 The SMM station has full duplicate hardware SMM A & SMM
B.
 For both SMM there are two mirror image hard disks of
1200 MB capacity.
 SMM dialogue with all SMCs over MIS token ring.
 There are up to 4 alarm reception ring for handling
exchange alarms.

 Conclusion
OCB-283 is a versatile digital switching system
assigned to meet all types of modern communication trends.
The system has novel features like “automatic denoting”. Due
to these features and because of existing ETB expertise, the
system is especially suitable for Indian network.
The system provides a large no. of subscriber
facilities. The System requires no human intervention & an
inherent capability to supervise all the functional units and
keep them updated.
All these features made the OCB-283exchange
efficient and user friendly.
