THE PRODUCTION COMPLEX «CHERNOBYL POWER STATION»
(Contract 1-U/96 dated March 11, 1996)

Denomination of services rendered: Upgrading of Chernobyl Power Station information network.

Date of the system launching: the first stage – February 1996.

Brief performance specifications of the System and the List of tasks fulfilled:

• The main backbone line laying is completed – an optical fiber communication cable line was laid along the route: «Kvant» edifice – ABK1 – TSSHCHU (1st line) – SHCHSRK (2nd line); the data terminal optical fiber equipment is assembled;
• There was completed the assembly of the distributive subsystem and the 5th category workplace subsystems on the base of a foil-clad twisted pair cable (FTP) in the «Kvant’s» building as well as in the ABK1;
• The distributive subsystem and the 5th category workplace subsystems on the base of foil-clad twisted pair cable (FTP) were tested in the special operation conditions zone;
• A network-forming equipment in the «Kvant’s» building and in the ABK1 was connected to the main backbone line (CISCO router and switchboard, Hewlett-Packard concentrators) as well as to the 2 Mbit-PCM highway at the «Kvant» automatic telephone system (ATS) (CISCO access server, RAD speed modems); an equipment tuning and adjustment is carried out;
• A network-forming equipment (CISCO router) in Slavutich town has been connected to the ATS and the communication with the Chernobyl Power station via a 2 Mbit-PCM highway was provided. 300 new users were connected to the network with by providing a simultaneous access of all the clients of the existing Arcnet network towards it;
• There was accomplished a link-up of remote local networks on the territory of the Chernobyl Power station («Ukryttya» and «Ostriv» objects) using communication lines allotted and the network-forming equipment (CISCO routers, «Motorola» modems);
• Software tuning and adjustment for the network functioning control is completed;
• At further stages it is planned to increase the number of users connected up to 400 – 500 units.
