The Nortel NT7E20KA is a 24M Shelf Processor Unit with 2 DCC (Data Communications Channel) ports for the Nortel S/DMS TransportNode OC-48 optical transmission platform, part of the same NT7E20-prefixed shelf-processor family as the independently-confirmed NT7E20CC, NT7E20CD, NT7E20GA and NT7E20GC sibling cards. The shelf processor is the intelligence centre of an OC-48 shelf, handling operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning functions and interworking with the network’s operations controller, with its DCC ports carrying the embedded management channel between network elements. S/DMS TransportNode equipment remains deployed across a number of established SONET/SDH transmission networks, and a genuine shelf processor such as this one is essential hardware for restoring shelf management after a failure. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies TransportNode hardware to support ongoing network maintenance. Confirm exact shelf and firmware compatibility before ordering.
