Page 188 Chapter 3 System Features Voice Processing This feature supports packet-switched wireless backhaul networks for inter- connecting Lucent MSCs and Series II base stations using the Lucent propri- etary packet pipe protocol over land lines. This protocol performs encapsula- tion within ATM AAL2 for various cell site sizes. The DSP2E Voice Server module is a high-speed, multifunction digital signal processing module that performs conventional voice compression, as well as AAL5-to-AAL2 conversions.

Page 625 Chapter 13 Upgrading PSAX System Software System Events During Booting In a redundant PSAX system, when a standby (backup) CPUn module boots, its red LED is lighted. At the time the PSAX system is initializing, the red LED begins to blink. After the configuration manager has determined that this CPUn module is to become the standby CPUn module, a handshake between the two CPUn modules takes place, and the configuration database files on the primary CPUn module are transferred to the standby CPUn module.

Appendix B Configuring In-Band Management Using the Routed Connection Configuration 4 On the PSAX system, the in-band management interface (primary) should be assigned an IP address that lies in a different network than that of its Ethernet interface. 5 The in-band connection from each of the remote PSAX systems is a direct connection to the SUN machine’s FORE card interface IP address.
Page 659 Appendix B Configuring In-Band Management Using the Routed Connection Configuration Setting Up Connections for a Routed Connection Configuration Perform the following procedure to configure the routed connection. Begin 1 A Routed Connection Configuration consists of a SUN (or PC) host con- nected through Ethernet to the router PSAX system.
Page 660 Appendix B Configuring In-Band Management Using the Routed Connection Configuration 7 The tree structure is based on subnet routing, where connections to each subtree lie in one subnet and the connections to a downstream subtree are configured with in-band subnetwork addresses and a mask larger (wider in ones) than the parent subtree.
Page 661 Appendix B Configuring In-Band Management Using the Routed Connection Configuration Connections downstream from Node B to the subtrees should have a mask greater than for the connection downstream on parent Node A (255.255.0.0) if they go to network 20.0.0.0.
