2.4.1 XCVT Functionality

The STS-1 switch matrix on the XCVT card consists of 288 bidirectional ports and adds a VT matrix
that can manage up to 336 bidirectional VT1.5 ports or the equivalent of a bidirectional STS-12. The
VT1.5-level signals can be cross connected, dropped, or rearranged. The TCC2/TCC2P card assigns
bandwidth to each slot on a per STS-1 or per VT1.5 basis. The switch matrices are fully crosspoint and
broadcast supporting.
