Chapter 1.
Introduction
1.1. GENERAL
RSU, by definition, is the Remote Switching Unit of a geographically distributed
exchange being controlled by the parent exchange, which has the capability for local
switching. For all purposes, RSU is similar to a colocated BM in an MBM exchange.
The only difference in RSU and colocated BM is that RSU placed remotely will be
connected to parent exchange by digital trunks interface from CM to RSU via
respective MDFs and digital media while colocated BM is connected to CM by BM-
CM data cables and clock cables. Hence RSU is also termed as Remote Base Module
(RBM) and names `RSU' and `RBM' are interchangeably used in this document
wherever necessary. With the present hardware only an even number BM of MBM
(i.e. BM-2, BM-4, etc.) can be made as an RSU. Hence maximum number of RSUs
that can be supported in C-DOT DSS MAX and corresponding RSU cards required
are given in Table 1.

Since there will be no IOPs and ADP on RSU side, a CRP terminal can be extended
through modem for maintenance purposes. It should be clear that a Base Module in
C-DOT DSS MAX can be converted into a Remote Base Module (RSU) with
minimum changes.
Following are the changes required on RSU side and main exchange side for
connecting a RBM to main exchange.
