Page 38: Module Description
Module Description Overview of This Module The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1 Multiservice module (see Figure 2-1) pro- vides a line rate of 1.544 Mbps per port. Each port can be independently con- figured to provide for channelized and unchannelized frame relay configura- tions, circuit emulation service (CES), high-level data link control (HDLC) pass-through mode, integrated services digital network with a primary rate interface (ISDN PRI) service, and ATM services.
Page 39: Connection Options
Chapter 2 Module Description Overview of This Module You can configure the 12-Port Medium-Density DS1 Multiservice module to provide N x 64 Kbps (fractional T1) structured circuit emulation service. When configured for DS1 circuit emulation service, the module interfaces with TDM channelized DS1 circuits. It converts channelized data (usually voice data) to ATM virtual channels.

Page 391 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 392 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 393 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 394 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 395 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 396 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 397 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 398 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 399 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 400 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 401 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 402 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.
