® T8110 PCI-Based H.100/H.110 Switch
and Packet Payload Engine
Introduction
The T8110 is the newest addition to the
Ambassador
series of TDM switching and backplane interconnect
standard products. The T8110 can switch 4096
simultaneous time slots with 32 bidirectional local
streams and 32 bidirectional H.100/H.110 streams.
This device contains the capabilities of previous
members of the
Ambassador
series and also
extends them by providing a flexible interface for
switching packet payloads between a local PCI bus
and the ECTF H.100/H.110 buses. Packets may also
be switched between the local PCI bus and local
TDM streams.

Application Overview
The new features of the T8110 were designed specif-
ically for V oIP applications. The block diagram shown
is of a board that would make use of the PCI access
to the TDM memories. This part is intended to work
with a coprocessor for providing header , framing, and
checksum generation, but since the T8110 operates
purely on payloads, multiple protocols can be sup-
ported simultaneously such as IP, ATM, and A-Bis.
Support for non-PCI devices is provided through a
minibridge, reducing system integration costs. A typi-
cal application is shown in Figure 1 and provides
connectivity for framers, IP over Ethernet, and the
ECTF H.100/H.110 bus.

T8110 PCI-Based H.100/H.110 Switch
TDM Gateway
A typical application for the
Ambassador
T8110 switching and interconnect device is shown above. Data carried
over an OC-3 line is terminated with the Agere Systems Inc.
NetLight
2417G4A ATM/SONET/SDH optical
transceiver device. Within the Agere TMXF84622 Ultramapper, there are 84 T1/E1/J1 framers that deliver the
2,016 DSO channels from the OC-3 interface onto local TDM highways or streams. The
Ambassador
T8110
switches these 8-bit (64 kbits/s) time slots to onboard devices or onto the system backplane (8.192 Mbits/s) with
32 bidirectional local and 32 bidirectional backplane I/O streams. Once on the backplane, this traffic can be trans-
ported onto DSP resource cards where other
Ambassador
devices, such as the T8100A, T8102, and T8105 will
switch time slots to and from the system bus with encoding/decoding resources such as the Agere
StarPro
SP2000
DSPs. Traffic can be sent to additional resource cards in the system. Time slots containing signaling information
can be sent to resource cards with HDLC formatters. Similarly, TDM streams with voice data can be sent to
resource card s for echo/acoustical cancellation.
