Wideband Switching supports end-to-end connectivity between customer endpoints at data
rates from 128 to 1536 kbps over T1 facilities and to 1984 kbps over E1 facilities. Avaya
Communication Manager switching capabilities are extended to support wideband calls
comprised of multiple DS0s that are switched end-to-end as a single entity.
Wideband Switching extends the Administered Connections feature to include non-signaling
wideband access endpoints. Endpoint application equipment with direct T1 or E1 interfaces
may connect directly to the switch's line-side facilities; application equipment without T1 or E1
interfaces requires a terminal adapter such as a DSU/CSU. The terminal adapter or endpoint
application equipment is connected to the MM710.
These endpoints are administered as wideband access endpoints and have no signaling
interface to switch; they simply transmit and receive data. (Some applications detect and
respond to the presence or absence of data.) Calls are initiated from these endpoints using the
Administered Connections feature.
Multiple access endpoints on one line-side MM-DS1 media module facility are separate and
distinct within the facility. Endpoint application equipment must be administered to send and
receive the correct data rate over the correct DS0s. All Administered Connections originating
from wideband access endpoints use the entire bandwidth administered for the endpoint. An
incoming call of a different data rate then that administered of the endpoint cannot be routed to
the endpoint.
Although Wideband Access Endpoints are used primarily for line-side facilities, these endpoints
can also be administered on network DS1 facilities to connect Avaya Communication Manager
to non-switched network services, such as the Avaya fractional T-1 service. An example of this
is the Avaya Static Integrated Network Access, where a trunk group to AT&T 4ESS Switched
Services shares an access T-1 facility with a Wideband Access Endpoint. In this case, the
Wideband Access Endpoint is connected to the AT&T fractional T-1 service, and it does not
terminate on local endpoint equipment but is connected to a far-end CPE via the dedicated
fractional T-1. All Wideband Access Endpoint functionality and operation is identical on both
line-side and network facilities. However, because maintenance capabilities are limited to the
Wideband Access Endpoint interface, and because faults can occur end-to-end,
troubleshooting procedures based on an end-to-end view of the network is required.
