Common use of DS0s Clause in Contracts

DS0s. to connect a CEB to the AEB at the zone controller. It takes three DS0s per remote console position to connect to the CEB. An additional ten DS0s are required for console programming regardless of the CEB location. 2.2.1.1 Consoles can also operate using control stations to access the System. Consoles using this configuration do not connect to a CEB and do not have any remote connectivity requirements. Rather, the control stations provide a wireless connection to the System 2.2.1.2 Some agencies have chosen to install bulk encryption equipment to encrypt the links between the CEB and the console positions, and the CEB and AEB. This equipment does not increase the bandwidth requirement. 2.2.1.3 The BIM cards installed in the CEB allow conventional radio resources like base stations and air-to-ground radios to be used by the console dispatcher along with trunked talk groups. This capability provides System interoperability with conventional radio systems through a patch, or by communicating directly with non-System radios. 2.2.1.4 Tie trunks are connections between two BIM cards in different CEBs. These can be permanent or temporary patches that link different dispatch systems and their associated resources. 2.2.2 Key Management Facility (KMF) The Motorola ASTRO 25TM system allows two-way radio transmissions to be encrypted and secure. The KMF is a solution for centralized key management and over-the-Air- rekeying (OTAR). The KMF equipment includes a KMF application server, KMF database server and KMF client. 2.2.3 Network Management Terminals (NMT) NMTs are consoles that connect to the System. The NMT is used by user System Managers and technologists to manage their radio fleet, units and configurations. While NMTs can be utilized to manage and operate more than one agency’s System operations, they are usually controlled by one Agency.
