Page 39: Module Description
Module Description Overview of This Module The 6-Port DS1 IMA module (see Figure 2-1) has six physical RJ-45 ports. The inverse multiplexing for ATM capabilities of this module permit a user to strap two to six of the physical ports together to create ATM interfaces that support 3–9 Mbps of bandwidth.
Page 40: Software Features
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features FAIL ACTIVE Figure 2-1. DS1 IMA Module Software Features The 6-Port DS1 IMA module offers ATM IMA services, including permanent virtual circuits, soft permanent virtual circuits, and switched virtual circuits. The module supports ATM UNI v3.a, IISP, PNNI, and ILMI. This functionality enables service providers to offer multiple DS1 IMA group services using a single module.

Page 302 IP address A unique numerical identifier that is assigned by a system administrator to any station or other device that uses IP. Each address is a 32-bit string expressed in four octets in decimal notation, such as 323.34.45.67, with one portion for the network number and another the host address. The administrator sets the subnet mask to identify how much of the address applies to the network and how much applies to the host.

Each router maintains a routing table or database with this information and periodically broadcasts it to neighboring routers. RJ-12, RJ-45 registered jacks.
Page 323 RS, RS-232, RS-449, RS-530 recommended standard. These standards are often set by the EIA (Electronic Industries Associa- tion), the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association), or both (EIA/TIA). RS-232 is a set of standards specifying three sets of interfaces (electrical, functional, and mechanical) for communi- cating between computers, terminals, and modems.
Page 324 sustained cell rate. A parameter defined by the ATM forum for ATM traffic management. The SCR is an upper bound on the conforming average rate of an ATM connection over time scales which are long enough relative to those for which the peak cell rate (PCR) is defined. The enforcement of this boundary by the UPC can allow the network to allocate sufficient resources, but less than those based on the PCR, while at the same time, ensuring that the network’s performance objectives can still be achieved.
Page 325 service access point See SAP. service-level interworking See FRF.8. service protocol translation A process that performs segmentation and reassembly (SAR) to adapt nonnative ATM services to ATM-based services and back again. It ensures that the data stream is mapped to standard ATM Adaption Layer (AAL) protocols.
Page 326 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-communication bandwidth for control information.
Page 327 SMDS switched multimegabit data service.

Static routes take precedence over routes cho- sen by all dynamic routing protocols.
Page 330 subnet mask A bit pattern that lets a network administrator define a “subnet” by using the host-machine portion of the IP address. A subnet mask has binary ones in positions which correspond to the network and subnet parts of the address, and zeros in the remaining, host-address positions. During IP address resolution, zero fields in the mask hide corresponding host-address field in the address, causing the router to ignore them.

A digital transmission link with a capacity of 1.544 Mbps, used in North America. Typically chan- nelized into 24 DS0s, each link is capable of carrying a single voice conversation or data stream. T1 links use two pairs of twisted pair wires.

A voice service over an ATM switch which provides only as much bandwidth as voice conversations need at any moment (making bandwidth “elastic”).
Page 337 virtual interface. Connections made to a module’s physical ports that allow virtual channels (VCs) to be assigned to virtual 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 338 VLAN virtual local area network. A logical grouping of two or more nodes that are not on the same phys- ical network segment but which have priority access privileges across the same LAN backbone. The priority-level access of these nodes across the transmission backbone enables them to function as if they were on the same physical LAN.
Page 339 wide area network. A computer and voice network geographically larger than a metropolitan area network (MAN). Telephone companies treat WANs different from MANs because of speed of light- timing considerations, and because regional Bell operating companies are prohibited from carrying traffic across Local Access Transport Areas (LATAS).
