What is ISDN

An ISDN is a network that provides end to end digital connectivity to support a wide range of services including voice and non voice services to which users have access by a limited set of standard , multipurpose user network interfaces. In ISDN all the three services (voice, data, image) are transmitted simultaneously on a single pair of wires. Network is a communication carrying system including media, switching points and proper routing. Networks fallow certain protocols for transmission.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

CORAL FLEXICOM 6000 CONSTRUCTION: Coral Flexicom 6000 is consists of one main cabinet, which houses the Coral Flexicom 6000 control shelf and two or three peripheral shelves. A maximum of three expansion cabinets, consisting of only peripheral shelves made is connected to main cabinet.

COMMON CONTROL SHELF

control shelf is located at bottom of main cabinet and houses all the control cards . MCP ATS ( MAIN PROCESSOR CARD ) 32 GC ( CONTROL CARD ) PS ATS ( POWER SUPPLY CARD ) The Coral Flexicom 6000 stand by Dual Control includes two set of Control Hardware ,and each is able to fully and independently control the operation of entire function. Switching matrix and User database is stored in battery protected SRAM on both the Control Card. Operating software is stored on CFDC (Compact Flash Memory ) on both the control card sets.

All the system generated data is stored in Active Control Set. Mirrored memory snoop: Memory in Active Control Set is duplicated in stand by control set. This Technique is responsible for Unnoticed Change over from Active to stand by. When Control Set Fails, an alarm is given to the maintenance Console and changeover takes place to standby control set. Calls are not interrupted. Common Control of Coral System provides the control mechanism for establishing Audio and Data Connection or calls via PCM BUS between Peripherals I/O ports in the system. Each standard Common Control Card set includes a MCPATS ,32 GC and Power Supply Card (PS-ATS)

PERIPHERAL SHELF:

MAJOR FAULTS AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

POWER PLANT FAILURE CONTROL CARDS FAILURE FREQUENTLY COMING FAULTS OFC CUT OFC STRESS CONNECTOR DUSTY

TROUBLESHOOTING

LOCALIZATION OF FAULT :
Fault can be localized by moving step by step starting from field side to equipment side 1. Check the instrument if any problem is with connectors RJ 11, RJ 8 or if instrument is faulty by replacing with working instrument .

2. Check the voltage at IDF as it should be 48 v. If this is ok then problem may be in between IDF and instrument. Check for continuity test of cable. 3. If their is no voltage at IDF then check voltage at MDF, it should be 48 v. If it is ok then recrone the jumper cable at IDF. If their is no voltage at MDF then the problem is on equipment side.

POWER SUPPLY
Normal required voltage is -48v DC. System can work in range of -42v to-63v DC. current- 3A Per shelf or 12A Per cabinet This exchange requires 40A current. There are 2 battery bank of 48 volt dc and they are manually changed over after every 12 Hrs.

Maintenance

The Coral Flexi Com 5000 is a maintenance free system. It requires proper cooling and dusting for uninterrupted telecommunications service. Check the battery voltage and charger output voltage Cleaning of equipment rooms with vacuum cleaner Testing of all the trunk circuit Alarm checking Check the room temperature Check working of lights, air condition

Maintenance Cont.

Check wiring and connecting terminals of power supply arrangement Earthing connection of all equipment and earth electrode Cable termination, MDF and IDF to be cleaned and checked Transmission loss test of all trunk circuit Functional testing of attendant console Office data back up to be updated. Earth resistance value measurement Line loop resistance and insulation testing Testing of spare cards

MAINTENANCE

While preparing this project report I observed that Coral Flexi Com is a maintenance free electronic exchange. It provides a continuous telecommunication service. Only we have to maintain its power plant.

CONCLUSION

In south western railway , Coral Flexicom exchanges are fast replacing the older exchanges like Siemens omni, C DOT etc. The Coral exchange can be used in three ways. It is used as main Exchange (CORAL FLEXICOM 6000) It can be used as Remote Location Unit (RLU) It is used as intercom (coral flexi 400). In intercom instead of FLMM or FLSI Card, MEX and HDC card is employed.

CONCLUSION

ISDN Coral Flexicom6000 ports Exchange provides many features and utilities. This Exchange is very quickly replacing C DOT Exchange, OKI Exchange, Siemens Omni, etc. It is proving to be a boon to Indian Railways because of its flexibility. By implementing this Exchange, Indian Railway has successfully achieved its goal of faster accessibility, with its subscribers and quicker connectivity between the subscribers. This system is mostly hassle free and does not require elaborate maintenance, thereby proving to be economical I hope every Zone and every Division in Indian Railway incorporates this Exchange to ensure faster growth and development.
