Safety Warnings and Information

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.

Does not light if signal is being received. Lights if signal is missing.

After power is initially applied to the system and the system boot is complete, the FAIL and ACTIVE LEDs indicate whether the module has no configured ports (red), or one or more configured ports (green). After power is initially applied to the system and the system boot is complete, the LOS LED indicates whether the port has a cable connected to it.

Loopback Configuration Options


To aid network troubleshooting and testing, loopback capability is provided for the 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module. The loopback option on the module port and channel configuration window for the module enables you to verify the integrity of a port by transmitting a received signal back to the source. Selecting a loopback option is described in the module configuration procedure. Figure 2-2 illustrates the line loop, payload loop, and local loop options.

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.

Using Port Diagnostics

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.

Testing DS3 Ports

The following procedure is for illustrative purposes only. There are many test options. Loopback tests and BERT can be run independently or in parallel. Use conventional test equipment (for example, the Tberd 310) or a module in another PSAX chassis as the remote unit. To generate loop codes and run BER tests on full-rate DS3 ports, proceed as follows:

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 Configuration and Logging Off


After configuring the module ports and channels, the interface types for each port and channel, and the connections, you must save the values to the PSAX system database. It is recommended that you save your values frequently as you progress through your work, at a minimum, after finishing each stage of work: Configuring each module in your system Configuring the connections in your system Before exiting your current console session Perform the following procedure to permanently save the values for your system. ! CAUTION: If your system loses power or if you reboot the chassis, and you have not yet saved the values permanently, you will lose all unsaved values you have applied on the various windows.

Begin

1 Press Ctrl+G, to return to the Console Interface Main Menu window. On the Console Interface Main Menu window, [Modified] is displayed next to the Save Configuration command, indicating you have made changes to the system that are not yet saved to the PSAX system database (see Figure 3-18).

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.

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.

Appendix A Reference Information


DSP Tone Detection Modes

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.

DSP Tone Detection Modes


DSP tone detection modes are selected through the Circuit Emulation-toATM VCC PVC Connection window. These modes are described in Table A-1.

The module supports CAS Trunkline in DS1 and E1 modes only. The module supports Circuit Emulation in DS1, E1, and DS0A modes. The module supports GR-303 in DS1 mode only. The module supports PRI ISDN in DS1 and E1 modes only. The module supports ATM services in the STM-ATM mode only. 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 A-4. Table A-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 A-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 A-5 for the cell rates for Lucent nonmultiplexed AAL2.

Fax Relay Using AAL2 Requirements


Table A-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.

Appendix A Reference Information


Module Alarm Status Descriptions

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.

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.

Priority of ATM Service Categories in the PSAX System


The attributes of the categories of service supported by the PSAX system software are identified in Table A-9. The service examples in this table are intended simply as illustrations; you should choose your service category based on your network applications supported by the PSAX system. The flexibility of the PSAX system allows you to tailor the system based on the required service applications by selecting the appropriate connection configuration selection field value.

If you specify a rate below the minimum supported PCR, the module defaults to traffic shaping at the minimum supported PCR. A connection configured for a PCR less than the specified rate has an output rate within 1% of the configured PCR. UPC is available only when using channelization to DS0s.

ATM Traffic Shaping Sample CPS Calculation Table


Use the information in Table A-12 as a guide for calculations to determine ATM traffic shaping for cps on the 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multiservice module. Sample calculation: If the ATM traffic-shaped connection is configured with the PCR (Minimum/Actual Target CPS column) value 906 and the maximum target CPS (Maximum Target CPS column) value 909, the ATM Traffic Shaping feature is actually shaping the traffic to the (Actual CPS column) value 906 cps. The divergence is smallest at low PCR.
