Page 66: Spvc Reconnection Priority Scheme
Chapter 3 System Features Connections Supported Specifically, an SPVC is established and released between the two network interfaces serving the PVC. The user assigns unique ATM addresses, including the SEL octet in the case of a private ATM address (see Section 3.1 of the UNI 4.0 signaling specification), to the corresponding NIs, thus identifying the starting point and ending point of the SPVC.

Page 73: Dynamic Cac
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces Dynamic CAC Connection Admission Control (CAC) is used to determine if a connection set-up request can be supported by available resources. When a PSAX system initializes, the CAC algorithm determines, in a static sense, the maximum available bandwidth for each interface.
Page 74: Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (Iisp) Interface
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces instead of using time division multiplexing (TDM). By inverting the HDLC frame bits, fewer bit value 1s (ones) are transmitted in the backhaul data, providing additional savings. The bit inversion process uses the new 5ESS switches that support a mixture of inverted and standard HDLC passthrough interfaces.

Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces Phase 3 of the Private Network-Network Interface feature enhancement includes the additions of functionality from the ATM Forum PNNI standard af-pnni-0055.000 Annex F, Hierarchy Configuration, and Appendix G, Minimum Subsets (all border node capable switching systems features). Ten hierarchal levels are supported.
Page 76: Pnni Topology State Element (Ptse) Information
Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces • Allows up to 10 levels in a hierarchy but does not require them. It is also possible to deploy PNNI with one peer group encompassing all switches within a network. • Sends hello packets across interswitch network-to-network interface (NNI) links that enable switches in the same peer group to discover one another.
Page 77 Chapter 3 System Features User Interfaces In networks that use a PNNI hierarchy, the switches at each level elect one switch as a peer group leader (PGL). This PGL concurrently belongs to its own level and to the next highest level, where it acts as a logical group node (LGN) that represents and summarizes topology information needed to reach any of the lower-level switches.

Chapter 3 System Features PSAX System Software Features encodes the header address within the same 10-nibble header space of stan- dard ATM cells. In addition, it avoids the extra delay (detrimental to CBR traffic) required of multiple header-encoding schemes. In practice, to tolerate 2-bit random errors or 5-bit burst errors requires set- ting up 526 addresses for each channel.

Before You Begin Be sure to read the Release Note for Release 9.0.0 Controlled Introduction of the PacketStar PSAX 4500, PSAX 2300, PSAX 1250, and PSAX 1000 Multiservice Media Gateways before beginning the PSAX system software upgrade.
Page 534: Choosing The System Software File Transfer Method
Chapter 13 Upgrading PSAX System Software Choosing the System Software File Transfer Method It is recommended that you periodically back up your PSAX system configu- ration database files, which reside on the system disk of the CPUn module to a remote storage medium located on a computer workstation or PC. To backup the database configuration files, select a method from Table 12-1.
