Module Description

Overview of This Module

The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES module (Figure 2-1) provides E1 circuit emulation services, including a new Nx64 Kbps CAS mode to support channelized AAL1 tariff services. It also provides a line rate of

2.048 Mbps per E1 port. Each port can be independently configured to provide Nx64 Kbps (fractional T1) structured, channelized and unchannelized circuit emulation service (CES) with Nx64 Kbps CAS, integrated services digital network with a primary rate interface (ISDN PRI) service, and unstructured CES. For a description of the DS1 and DS0A operating modes, see the following PSAX module user guides:

• For DS1 mode, see the PacketStar

Chapter 2 Module Description

Connection Options emulation, this module can adapt a maximum of 31 DS0 channels per port to

ATM virtual channels with individual VPIs and VCIs. Signaling bit transport is also provided, based on ATM Forum standards for CAS. With the

Nx64 Kbps clear channel capability, this module can connect to a device using an ISDN PRI service. Because this structured circuit emulation service can be configured to use only a fraction of the time slots, you can configure several independent emulated circuits to share one service interface.

Connection Options

The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES module connects to user equipment via a shielded 10-foot Lucent cable assembly (COMCODE

300468030) and a non-protected PSAX patch panel. An equivalent shielded cable with an RJ-48H connector (for example, a Cinch p/n 57-10500-7, 90 o plug, a Cinch p/n 57-30500-4, 180 o

plug, a Cinch p/n 57-10500-271, 270 o plug, or equivalent) on one end may also be used. Cable connector screws and cable tie wraps are provided in a kit with the module. See Figure 2-2 for an illustration of this connection.

Description

Displays the version of PSAX system software with which the modules’ firmware was released. The software version is encoded in the module firmware.

Because not all modules require firmware upgrades with every new PSAX system software release, the software version that is displayed in this window may be lower than the CPU system software that is currently running on the PSAX system. See the most recent Release Note document for the latest software and firmware lineup information.

Displays the product element code (PEC) used to identify and order this type of module. The PEC is encoded in the module bootloader.

Displays the unique serial number of the individual module. The product serial number is encoded in the module firmware. The format of this field is the following:

PSAX System Rel. 6.5.0 and later: 12-digit number in the format:

YYVVDDnnnnnn

, where

YY

= year of manufacture

VV

= vendor ID code (manufacturer and location)

DD

= date code of manufacture (either month or week depending on vendor’s preference)

nnnnnn

= sequential number, which in conjunction with

YY

,

VV

, and

DD

, creates a unique number for each hardware component in the PSAX product line

For existing products with the 10-digit serial number used in Rel. 6.5.0 or later systems, this number is displayed with two preceding zeros.

PSAX Rel. 6.3.0 and earlier: 10-digit number. For products with 12-digit serial numbers used in Rel 6.3.0 or earlier systems, the first two digits (

YY

) are not displayed.

The PSAX System side of a local/remote configuration can function as the tester or the testee in configuration with another PSAX, a non-PSAX switch, and a media gateway controller (MGC).

Regardless of tester or testee status, the PSAX system side is always 4-wire. When interfacing with a 2-wire device, the PSAX converts its 4-wire signal (2010-Hz) to a 2-wire (1780-Hz) signal when replying to a 2-wire device, thus operating in transponder mode. As the testee, the PSAX system can act in loopback mode if the remote end is 4-wire. The loopback mode is configured on the

Media Gateway Controller configured with the PSAX system. The signaling call progress tones

(dial, ringing, busy, congestion, special information, caller waiting) are generated from the TAS module in CAS mode in configuration with the MGC. All other signals, such as continuity check and the 10x tests (102, 105, and 108) are generated from the TAS module in TAS mode. See the

Tones and Announcements Server Module User Guide for more information.

Reference Information

Overview of This Appendix

This appendix contains reference information that is helpful while configuring your PSAX system. The following types of information are provided:

• “Avoiding Common Errors When Configuring Interfaces”

• “Optimizing SVC Call Performance”

• “DSP Tone Detection Modes”

• “Connection Type by Interface Type”

• “Connection Type by Interface Type”

• “Interface Type by I/O Module Type”

• “Minimum AAL2 Trunk Size Requirements Tables”

• “Module Alarm Status Descriptions”

• “ATM Service Categories in the PSAX System”

Avoiding Common Errors When Configuring Interfaces

An error may occur when you apply an interface to a channel. If an error condition occurs, the PSAX system sends an SNMP trap that is usually displayed in the console Trap Log Display window (accessible from the Console

Interface Main Menu window). The list below includes the most common interface errors that cause the PSAX system to display a message. (See the

PacketStar

®

PSAX Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Reference

Guide for more information about the SNMP traps related to interface errors).

• Entering field values that are outside of the configurable range of values

• Attempting to configure an interface for a port or channel that has already been configured

• Attempting to configure an interface that is already in service (must be out of service to be configured or change field values)

• Entering field values that are not recognized by the PSAX system software

Optimizing SVC Call Performance

The information in this section provides guidance on optimizing call performance when configuring SVCs on the PNNI interface. The service-specific connection-oriented protocol (SSCOP) parameter is set on these interface configuration windows: ATM IISP network or IISP user, ATM UNI 3.0 or

UNI 3.1, or ATM PNNI 1.0.

Note:

These settings are suggested for connecting to a PSAX system from a remote site only. The PSAX system configures these settings internally in its own ATM switch.

DSP Tone Detection Modes

When unacknowledged protocol data units (PDUs), the MaxPD field on the remote end peer (such as the NavisCore™ CBX 500™) shows the maximum number of SSCOP packets transmitted since the last PSAX polling of the peer.

To optimize call performance, the SSCOP Rx Window Size field of the local

ATM interface should be less than the maximum value displayed in the

MaxPD credit window at the remote end of the ATM interface. Otherwise, the rate at which switched calls can be set and released may be degraded.

On the ATM IISP Interface Configuration window, the maximum credit window (the SSCOP Rx Window Size field) is configurable with a value up to 32 for all ATM interfaces on the PSAX system. The interfaces of the ATM switches that are connected to the PSAX system should be configured with the same values. This method results in 100 percent call completion at a call setup rate of 60 calls per second using even distribution. If these values are not configured in this way, calls will be set up at a rate of less than 60 calls per second.

Note:

Various SSCOP parameter settings determine the maximum credit window. As a result, you may not be able to directly use these settings.

For more information on the SSCOP parameter, see the Application Note entitled Connecting a CBX or GX Switch to a PacketStar

The module supports CE in the OC3-UCE mode only.

European modules do not support this interface with the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module or the 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module.

Minimum AAL2 Trunk Size Requirements Tables

Setting up channels with standard AAL2 multiplexing helps reduce traffic delay, as voice samples from at two channels or more are multiplexed into one VC, decreasing the amount of time necessary to fill one ATM cell before it is transmitted. (Without multiplexing, only one VC is allowed per ATM cell.

The cell must wait to fill with samples from one channel before transmission). If a trunk is configured to have at least one active channel, one cell must be sent out every 20 ms; thus, the minimum trunk size is 50 cps. At

8 Kbps, Lucent recommends two multiplexed channels. On the DSP2C module, you can configure up to 64 AAL2 trunk groups, so that if you want to use all 128 channels (or 224 for echo cancel mode), you must use multiplexing. Enabling silence detection further enhances bandwidth savings by a factor of approximately half on the value in the cells/sec column in Table B-4.

Table B-4 summarizes bandwidth savings at different compression rates with standard AAL2 multiplexing.

If a trunk has at least one active channel, a cell must be sent out every 20 msec; therefore, the minimum

AAL2 trunk size is 50 cps.

Standard AAL2 Calculation Example

The following calculation computes the compression rate for 32 Kbps (see

Table B-4). This calculation includes the AAL2 header in cells per second

(cps):

4,000 samples / 20 samples received from DSP * 23 bytes to be packed into an AAL2 cell, where 23 bytes = 20 bytes of data in the cps packet and 3 bytes for the cps header.

With 47 data bytes in the AAL2 cell, the cell rate = 4600/47 =~ 98

The expected cell rate with silence detection is: 98/2 = 49.

See Table B-5 for the cell rates for Lucent nonmultiplexed AAL2.

Fax Relay Using AAL2 Requirements

Table B-6 shows the cell rate for fax relay modulation/demodulation using

Algosets 4 or 6 on the DSP2C or DSP2D Voice Server modules.

• Changing rates of 8 Kbps to 14.4 Kbps fax requires an additional 14 cells/sec.

• Changing rates of 8 Kbps to 12.0 Kbps fax requires an additional 8 cells/sec.

Appendix B Reference Information

Module Alarm Status Descriptions

• Changing rates of 8 Kbps to 9.6 Kbps fax requires an additional 1 cell/sec.

Fax relay mode contains 20 msec of data for every cps packet, so the cell rate is more efficient than for voice codec.

The change in bandwidth is controlled by the DSP host code. If insufficient bandwidth is available on the AAL2 trunk, the fax will be forced to a lower rate. DSP resources must be available or the fax will fail. In addition, fax modem bypass or fax relay/modem bypass is supported if enough bandwidth is available on the AAL2 trunk.

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) This service offers consistent delay predictability. CBR is used for applications such as circuit emulation, voice, and video.

Real Time Variable Bit

Rate (VBR-rt)

Non-Real Time Variable

Bit Rate (VBR-nrt)

This service offers low delay variance, but requires access to a variable amount of network bandwidth. VBR-rt is used for applications such as packet video and voice.

This service allows delay variance between the delivery of cells. VBR-nrt is used for data applications that have potentially bursty traffic characteristics.

Guaranteed Frame Rate

(GFR)

This service allows delay variance and offers a minimum cell rate guarantee. When used with frame-based data encapsulated in AAL5 PDUs, it provides frame-based cell discard. GFR is used for frame relay or ethernet over ATM.

Unspecified Bit Rate

(UBR)

This service allows for best-effort transport by the network. Cells are transported by the network whenever bandwidth is available and the user presents traffic.
