Hardware Description
This chapter describes the Cisco 6732 full access device chassis, and the service modules and line interface modules supported by the Cisco 6732 full access device. This chapter includes the following sections:
• Overview
– Chassis
Overview
The Cisco 6732 full access device multiport-per-slot architecture supports fundamental time division mutliplexing (TDM) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technologies. The Cisco 6732 is compliant with relevant NEBS, ANSI, and Telcordia network element standards. The Cisco 6732 provides the following functionality and services for central office (CO) and large remote terminal (RT) applications:
Digital Loop Carrier
The digital loop carrier (DLC) application uses the Cisco 6732 to accept a variety of voice or data signal sources, multiplexing them onto a common transport medium and de-multiplexing them for delivery to the customer at the far end terminating device.
GR-303 Gateway
The GR-303 gateway application concentrates analog circuits onto a GR-303 interface. The Cisco 6732 uses DSX1 or STS-1 transports to the Class 5 switch and DS1 or DS3 transports to the channel banks. The Cisco 6732 splits the services for delivery to the customer through a remote terminal.
Integrated Access Device
The integrated access device application uses the Cisco 6732 to replace the traditional channel bank unit. The Cisco 6732 can function as a 1/0, 3/1, or 3/1/0 DACS while incorporating voice and data applications on a common platform.
Components and Features
Chassis
The Cisco 6732 chassis is designed for mounting in 19-inch or 23-inch equipment racks. It is a dual-shelf chassis that holds the following:
Figure 1-1 Cisco 6732 Full Access Device Chassis
Designated-Purpose Slots
The first three slots on the left of each shelf are exclusively designed to support the following Cisco 6732 service modules:
•The first pair of designated slots, labeled BPS-A and BPS-B, exclusively supports the bank power supply (BPS) modules, which provide power to the service modules and passes -48 VDC to the line interface modules.
•The second pair of designated slots, labeled MCC-A and MCC-B, exclusively supports the main control card (MCC) modules, which provide centralized processing, synchronization, and some switching functions. Both stratum 4 and stratum 3 MCC modules are available for the Cisco 6732. The MCC module provides Ethernet 10BaseT connectivity.
•The third pair of designated slots, labeled ACC-A and ACC-B, is reserved for future use.
General-Purpose Slots
Each shelf of the Cisco 6732 provides 16 numbered general-purpose slots for use with line interface modules and selected service modules. The first two general purpose slots on the top shelf support the following service modules, in addition to all line interface modules:
•The first general-purpose slot on the top shelf, labeled AMM-1, supports the alarm maintenance and management (AMM) module, which offers monitoring and reporting functions for the Cisco 6732. The AMM module provides Ethernet 10BaseT and RS-232 connectivity.
•The second general-purpose slot on the top shelf, labeled MTAC-2, supports the metallic test access card with test equipment interface (MTAC-TEI) module, which offers testing interfaces for use with third-party test equipment.
Backplane
The backplane provides the basic architecture and interconnectivity of the Cisco 6732 full access device. The backplane provides all cabling for the Cisco 6732, except for line interface modules with front panel connectors such as the DSX3/CHNL, STSX/CHNL, OC3c-UNI, and T1-2-V35 modules.
Service Modules
Service modules for the Cisco 6732 full access device are hot swappable. They can be inserted into (or removed from) the Cisco 6732 chassis with or without power applied to the system without incurring damage.
The following service modules are available for the Cisco 6732 full access device:
• Bank Power Supply, High Power
• Main Control Card with Stratum 3 Clock
• Main Control Card with Stratum 4 Clock
• Alarm Maintenance and Management
• Metallic Test Access Card, Test Equipment Interface
Bank Power Supply, High Power
The bank power supply, high power (BPS-HP) module supplies power to the main control card (MCC) module and installed service modules, and it passes the -48 VDC current through to the installed line interface modules. The BPS-HP module also provides overcurrent protection for the chassis. One BPS-HP module is required for each MCC module installed in the chassis.
Figure 1-2 BPS-HP Front Panel
Available Slots
The BPS-HP module must be placed in designated-purpose slots BPS-A or BPS-B.
LEDs
The LEDs on the BPS-HP module indicate chassis and module status. (See Table 1-1.)
Connectors
The BPS-HP module does not have any external connectors or interfaces.
Redundancy
Protected (redundant) systems require two BPS-HP modules. One BPS-HP module is inserted in slot BPS-A (to power the service modules in the top shelf) and one in slot BPS-B (to power the service modules in the bottom shelf). If the active BPS-HP module fails, the system switches over to the shelf containing the standby BPS-HP module.
Main Control Card with Stratum 3 Clock
The stratum 3 clock on the main control card (MCC-STR3) module supports synchronization and holdover requirements for the stratum level 3. Systems can also derive timing from an inbound transport span such as a T1, DSX1, or STSX-1.

Alarm Maintenance and Management
The alarm maintenance and management (AMM) module provides alarm contacts for activation of external circuitry and alarm inputs for basic telemetry entry for connection to the bay alarm panel of a central office. Some alarm inputs are available for customer-defined alarms.
Figure 1-5 Alarm Maintenance and Management Front Panel

Alarm Cut-off
The ACO push-button on the AMM front panel provide access to the alarm cut-off function. Pushing the ACO push-button toggles the state of the alarm cut-off and the ACO LED.
If the ACO is in the on state, the AMM ACO LED will light and alarm outputs 3 through 6 will be cleared. Any new alarms will reactivate the corresponding alarm output.
If the ACO is in the off state, the AMM ACO LED will be off and alarm outputs 1 through 3 will remain in their current states.
Connectors
The AMM module provides two interfaces for system management:
•10BaseT Ethernet interface RJ-45 connector
•RS-232 connector
The AMM module transmits system alarm information using the prewired alarm output and alarm input backplane cables. See Chapter 3, "Cabling and Wiring," for alarm cabling information.
Bank Ring Generator
