East Lansing, MI | We've got a CS2000 running in one of our old buildings. What specifically do you want pictures of? It looks pretty much like any other multi-cabinert Option 61, for the most part.... |

Basically when we first got phone service, it was part of an expansion and upgrade project where they had deployed DMS100's and then later changed them out to CS2000s I believe. This was in Trinidad and Tobago in 1989. I actually visited one of the CO's later on and saw the old DMS100s.
It's just for my own personal curiousity really. I googled to see what they upgraded to, and I saw that they had probably upgraded to CS2000s.
I found a pic here of the CS2000:

CS2k is mostly run off a bunch of Sun servers; with Nortel Passport 8600 and 15000 ATM/Ethernet switches and packet gateways. I've got 3 of them at work (LEC) that I may be able to dig up pics of...
The peripherals (ENET/DTC/SPM/ISME/etc) pretty much remain the same; for legacy interconnects.
The CS1ks that I've seen look more like a Meridian/SL1 stack, then the 2ks do... But there may be other packaging that I haven't come across.

It's Notel's softswitch. I think it's mostly used for terminating VoIP. Maybe a replacement for the DMS? I am not a Nortel guy so I don't know an awful lot about Nortel gear. |

The CS2K (aka CallServer 2000) is the next generation of Nortel voice switch. It runs VoIP natively; and converts (via the PVG or Packet/Voice Gateway) to TDM where required.
It can be a new switch from the ground up, or through a program called succession, existing DMS's can be converted to a CS2k setup; replacing the MS, and parts of the front end. Each CS2k is good for upto about 200k lines or line-eqiv's.
That help?
