The Strata CIX200 supports 192 ports and can be configured as a one or two cabinet system, consisting of a Base Cabinet and one optional Expansion Cabinet. One processor model supports all Strata CIX200 configurations from smallest to largest.
These cabinets are designed specifically to fit standard (customer-supplied) 19” racks. The 19” rack and rack screws must be supplied by the dealer. Interface cables connect directly to the front panel or exit the cabinet through a port on the right side of the cabinet.
The CIX200 uses a single-card common control processor unit (LCTU1A), with a high-speed 32- bit RISC processor, 64 MB DRAM working memory, SRAM with lithium battery on-board flash program memory, and removable Toshiba SmartMedia flash memory.
Expansion Cabinets
One Expansion Cabinet (CHSUE 1 92A) can be added to increase the system station and CO line
capacity. The Expansion Cabinet has four universal slots for interface cards (labeled S201 ~ S204). Compatible interface cards include the MIPU / LIPU / LIPS IP interface cards and the current Strata CTX interface cards that support CO lines, digital telephones, analog stations, etc.
Refer to Chapter 6 – Capacities for cabinet slot and station/line capacities.
