Warranty Warnings
! WARNING: When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not forcefully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis. Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and allows the PSAX system time to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the module that is inserted. ! CAUTION: Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such equipment. ! CAUTION: Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis with removable modules installed will void your warranty.

Overview of the Module
Module Description
The 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module has a line rate of 44.736 Mbps. The physical port is divided (channelized) into 28 virtual DS1 ports. Each virtual DS1 port can be channelized into 24 individual DS0s, providing a total of 672 channels. Each virtual DS1 port can also be set up as a single, structured or unstructured channel. The 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module provides the following interfaces: ATM IISP (network/user) ATM PNNI 1.0 ATM UNI 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0 CAS trunkline Circuit emulation Because the 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module uses ATM Forum specifications UNI 3.0, UNI 3.1, or 4.0, any DS1 port acts as a user network interface (UNI), or an interim inter-switch protocol (IISP) user or IISP network interface to an ATM network. The module can be configured to provide N x 64 Kbps (fractional DS1) structured circuit emulation service. When configured for DS1 circuit emulation service, the module interfaces with TDM channelized DS1 circuits. It converts the channelized digital signals (usually voice data) to ATM virtual channels. By using structured (channelized) circuit emulation, the 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module can adapt a maximum of 28 DS1 channels per port to ATM virtual channels with individual VPIs and VCIs. Signaling bit transport is also provided, using ATM Forum standards for channel-associated signaling (CAS). The module can be connected to a device using 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps for service transport, with 8 Kbps for robbed-bit signaling per DS0. With the 64 Kbps clear channel capability, this module can connect to a device using ISDN primary rate interface (PRI) service. Because the structured circuit-emulation service can be configured to use only a fraction of the time slots, several independent emulated circuits can be configured to share one service interface.

The PSAX system side of a local/remote configuration can function as the tester or the testee in configuration with another PSAX system, a non-PSAX system, 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 system 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 Tones and Announcements Server 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 Tones and Announcements Server module in TAS mode. See the Tones and Announcements Server Module User Guide for more information.

Once the specific facility has been looped, the BER testing is typically used to qualify the facility before assigning customer traffic, and to perform maintenance testing for troubleshooting sectionalized spans. Because in some cases customer CSU/DSU equipment might be located downstream at the customer premises from the PSAX system, maintenance testing also requires the ability of the PSAX modules port in the PSAX system to ignore any facility loop codes that are received and to simply pass them along. BERT synchronization status and error counter fields are displayed or can be retrieved via MIB variables. The following patterns are supported: All-1s All-0s OneIn8 ThreeIn24 QRSSnn (where nn=11,15, 20, or 23) UserConfigurednByte (where n =1, 2, 3, or 4) The BER testing can be run as a short-term test for troubleshooting the facility or as a test running continuously for 24 to 48 hours.
The following procedure is for illustrative purposes only. There are many test options. Loopback tests and BERT can be run independently or in parallel.

Using DS1 ANI (Access Network Interface) In-Line Codes for Loopbacks
The 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module supports DS1 ANI in-line loopback codes that allow you to test transmissions between customer interface (CI) equipment and network interface (NI) equipment. For example, you may test the validity of traffic sent from a central office (CO) to the far end (FE) of a network. In addition, AIS (Alarm Indication Signals) will be generated on all affected DS1s when a loop is activated. Using CPE or conventional test equipment connected to the TX and RX ports of the 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module, you may generate a 4-in-7 bit (1111000) code to activate a loop and a 3-in-5 bit (11100) code to deactivate the loop. Note: The DS1 ANI in-line loopback codes feature does not work under structured circuit emulation-to-circuit emulation connections.
To use this feature, proceed as follows: Circuit Emulation-toCircuit Emulation 1 From the Channelized DS3 Virtual Port Configuration window, make the following selections: a. Select the Ds1-ANI value in the In Line Code field. b. Select the Unstructured value in the Data Tx Type field. c. Select the Apply Port Configuration command and press Enter. 2 Follow the Configuring a Port with One Channel, selecting CircuitEmulation as the interface type. 3 Configure the port and channel for the module (e.g, an Enhanced DS1 module) you want to connect to at the far end of your network or chassis. Note: This configuration must also be in the unstructured mode and support circuit emulation.

Saving the equipment and connection information
Note:
In PSAX systems with redundant CPUn modules, the standby CPUn module reboots every time you save the configuration on the primary CPUn module. This event is a function of the SVC retention feature and the result of saving the configuration changes you have made.
When the save configuration function is completed, the system displays an appropriate message as described in Table 3-11.

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.
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 PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway via an ATM Port.
Ignores fax tones and modem tones If a fax tone or modem tone is received, the firmware switches to G.711 mode (64 Kbps) and bypasses echo cancellation, if enough bandwidth is available. If a fax tone is received, the firmware switches to a channel configured for FaxRelayMode and performs fax demodulation / remodulation. If a modem tone is received, the firmware ignores it If a fax tone is received, the firmware switches to a channel configured for FaxRelayMode and performs fax demodulation/remodulation. If a modem tone is received, the firmware switches to G.711 mode (64 Kbps) and bypasses echo cancellation, if enough bandwidth is available.

Changing rates of 8 Kbps to 12.0 Kbps fax requires an additional 8 cells/sec. 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) 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.
PacketStar PSAX 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice Module User Guide, Issue 1 A-10
Table A-8. PSAX System-Supported Quality of Service Categories (Continued) ATM Service Category Description
Non-Real Time Variable This service allows delay variance between the delivery of cells. VBR-nrt Bit Rate (VBR-nrt) is used for data applications that have potentially bursty traffic characteristics. Guaranteed Frame Rate This service allows delay variance and offers a minimum cell rate guaran(GFR) tee. 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.
