Question 55

What are common relay faults and how to detect and handle them?

Accepted Answer

A relay is one of the most commonly used actuating elements in electronic equipment. It is an electronic control device that consists of a control system (also called the input circuit) and a controlled system (also called the output circuit). It is typically used in automatic control circuits, and is also used in communication equipment such as PCM devices. In essence, it is an "automatic switch" that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. Therefore, it plays roles such a

Question 56

What is the RS232 Interface Definition?

Accepted Answer

RS232 interface is formally known as the "technical standard for serial binary data exchange interface between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communications Equipment (DCE)."
The standard specifies a 25-pin DB25 connector, defining the signal content of each pin and the signal levels. With continuous equipment improvements, the DB9 connector emerged as a replacement for DB25, and now the RS232 interface is commonly referred to as DB9.
RS-232 is one of the mainstream serial comm

Question 59

What is the difference between single-fiber and dual-fiber?

Accepted Answer

The biggest difference between single-fiber and dual-fiber optical terminals lies in the optical modules on their mainboards; everything else is essentially the same.
Single-fiber Optical Terminal: Transmit and receive data over a single fiber.
Dual-fiber Optical Terminal: Transmit and receive data over two separate fibers.
As the name implies, a single-fiber optical terminal can save half of the fiber cable resources, i.e., it enables data transmission and reception over one fiber core, making

Question 60

What Are Signaling System No. 1, Signaling System No. 7, and PRI Signaling?

Accepted Answer

Signaling can be classified by the signaling channel into:
    1. Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)
    2. Common Channel Signaling (CCS)
    Channel Associated Signaling (CAS):
    A signaling method in which signaling and voice are transmitted in the same voice channel. The CAS currently adopted in China is called the Chinese Signaling System No. 1.
    Common Channel Signaling (CCS):
    A signaling met

Question 61

What are common issues when using optical terminals in security surveillance?

Accepted Answer

Fiber optic technology is increasingly used in security surveillance projects to transmit images, audio, data, and other information. The key equipment in fiber optic transmission systems – the digital video optical terminal – has gained wide popularity among users.
I. Regarding Optical Link Issues:
In security surveillance projects, fiber optic cables are mostly laid by the users themselves, typically G652 single-mode fiber. Since the system coverage area is generally not large, the optical lin

Question 62

What is the working principle and function of a telephone switch?

Accepted Answer

Telephone Switch Principle
In fact, the basic principle of a telephone switch is quite simple: it is the concentration and switching of voice. The main task of a telephone switch is to establish connections for calls between users, which is basically divided into two major parts: the speech path equipment and the control equipment. The speech path equipment mainly includes various interface circuits (such as subscriber line interface circuits and trunk line interface circuits, etc.) and the swit

Question 63

What is a trunk line? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

Accepted Answer

A trunk line: a telephone line that connects a user's private branch exchange (PBX), key telephone system (including telephone connectors with switching functions), paging station, mobile telephone switch, etc., to the local exchange is called a trunk line.
Trunk line hunting means that a single number contains multiple lines. Users only need to publish one representative number externally, but multiple calls can come in simultaneously. Each user can determine the number of trunk lines to ap

Question 64

What Are the Functions and Advantages of Video Optical Terminals?

Accepted Answer

The function of a video optical terminal is to convert one or multiple channels of analog video signals into optical signals through various encoding methods for transmission over optical fiber media. Since the conversion process from video signals to optical signals involves both analog conversion and digital conversion technologies, video optical terminals are further divided into analog optical terminals and digital optical terminals. However, due to the limitations of analog [optical termina
