Page 39: Module Description
Module Description Overview of This Module The 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module (see Figure 2-1) provides 21 ports, each with a line rate of 2.048 Mbps. The interfaces support ITU-T G.703 and ITU G.704. Each port can be independently configured to provide services for channelized and unchannelized frame relay configurations, circuit emulation service, and ATM service.
Page 40: Connection Options
Chapter 2 Module Description Connection Options Configured for channelized E1 service, the 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module maps up to 31 individual high level data links (HDLC) on a single E1 connection (180 HDLC data links per module). This module provides a data service unit (DSU)/channel service unit (CSU) for each port in order to configure individual channels.

A leased voice circuit con- necting two telephones. When either handset is lifted, the other telephone rings automatically. PLCP Physical Layer Convergence Protocol.

PROM Programable Read-Only Memory. A programmable semicon- ductor device whose contents are not intended to be altered during normal operations.
Page 385 Glossary Permanent Virtual Circuit. A virtual circuit that provides the equivalent of a dedicated private line service over a packet switching network between two DTEs. Virtual circuits and SDNs are other types of virtual networks. quality of service. An ATM Forum Protocol that is defined in terms of an end-to-end ATM connection under ITU-T Recom- mendation 1.350.
Page 386 Glossary Reed Solomon (RS) coding An algorithm that performs forward error correction (FEC) in order to compensate for error bursts in data transmission. remote access service See RAS. remote alarm indication See RAI. remote defect indication See RDI. remote dial-access server See RAS.
Page 387 Glossary rounding error A cumulative calculation error caused by omission of pre- selected values. The omitted values can be the ones, tens, and/or hundreds decimal places. A typical rounding algo- rithm increases the value to the left by one if the value to the right is over 5.
Page 388 Glossary Service Access Point. The point at which the services of an OSI layer are made available to the next highest layer. A SAP is used for the following purposes: 1. When the application initiates an outgoing call to a remote ATM device, a destination_SAP specifies the ATM address of the remote device, and also specifies further addressing that identifies the target software entity within the remote device.
Page 389 Glossary selector. A subfield in the SETUP message part of an ATM endpoint address domain specific part (DSP), defined by ISO 10589. This is not used for ATM network routing, but by ATM end systems only. semipermanent virtual circuit See SPVC. serial A transmission method that sends each data bit sequentially on a single channel.
Page 390 Glossary signaling The control of information a network uses to set up and maintain connections. On-hook and off-hook are, for instance, the familiar voice-telephone signals that tell the Central Office that you have picked up the telephone handset or hung up at the end of a call. In-channel signaling reserves part of the available data-com- munication bandwidth for control information.
Page 391 Glossary SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A standard way for computers to share networking information. In SNMP, two types of communicating devices exist: agents and managers. An agent provides networking information to a manager application running on another computer. The agents and managers share a database of information, called the Manage- ment Information Base (MIB).
Page 392 Glossary Signaling System 7. A signaling method, separate from voice or data channel, that allows intelligent network elements exchange information among themselves. SSCOP Service-Specific Connection-Oriented Protocol. This protocol provides mechanisms for establishing, releasing, and monitor- ing signaling information exchanged between peer signaling entities.
Page 393 Glossary subchannel connection The associations between IP network interfaces and their traf- fic-bearing connections. subnet A portion of a network, possibly a physically independent network, which shares a network address with other portions of the network and is distinguished by a subnet number. A subnet is to a network what a network is to the Internet.
Page 394 Glossary synchronized dynamic random See SDRAM. access memory synchronous digital hierarchy See SDH. synchronous optical network See SONET. systems network architecture See SNA. A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbit/s, used in North America. Typically channelized into 24 DS0s, each link is capable of carrying a single voice conversation or data stream.
Page 395 Glossary termination In the H.248 Media Gateway protocol, a termination is an origination or destination of a media stream. Terminations can be persistent (permanent) or ephemeral (set up and torn down). See also context. throughput The measure of the rate at which data flows through a device. time-division multiplex access See TDMA.
Page 396 Glossary ToS Value An indicator that denotes a better quality of service on a user’s line. For example, voice data would be set with a ToS value for minimum delay. traffic descriptor Generic traffic parameters that capture the intrinsic traffic characteristics of a requested ATM connection.
Page 397 Glossary undefined (or unspecified) bit rate. An ATM service class that handles bursty LAN traffic and data that is tolerant of delays and cell loss. UBR is a best-effort service that does not specify bit-rate or traffic values, and offers no QoS guarantees. undefined (or unspecified) bit rate See UBR.
Page 398 Glossary validation The checking of data for correctness or for compliance with applicable standards, rules, and conventions. variable bit rate See VBR. variable bit rate - real time See VBR-RT variable bit rate- non-real time See VBR-NRT. variable bit rate. A voice service over an ATM switch which provides only as much bandwidth as voice conversations need at any moment (making bandwidth “elastic”).
Page 399 Glossary Virtual Interface. Connections made to a module’s physical ports that allow virtual channels (VCs) to be assigned to vir- tual trunks, each with its own priority queue. By using VIs instead of physical connections, it is possible to achieve advanced bandwidth management capability that allows for fully flexible service provisioning.
Page 400 Glossary virtual path. A group of VCs carried between two points that provide a way to bundle traffic headed in the same direction. virtual path connections. Unidirectional virtual path links between virtual path terminators. Virtual Path Identifier. An ATM term for the 8-bit field in the ATM cell header that indicates which virtual path the ATM should use in routing the cell.
Page 401 Glossary ZBTSI Zero Byte Timeslot Interchange. A technique used with the T carrier extended superframe (ESF) in which an area in the ESF frame carries information about the location of all-zero bytes (eight consecutive “0”s) within the data stream. zero code suppression. This type of line coding substitutes a 1 for the second least-significant bit of every all-zero byte in AMI-encoded data.
