Page 29: Module Description
Module Description Overview of This Module The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES module (Figure 2-1) pro- vides DS1 circuit emulation services, including a new Nx64 Kbps CAS mode to support channelized AAL1 tariff services. It also provides a line rate of 1.544 Mbps per DS1 port.
Page 30: Connection Options
Chapter 2 Module Description Connection Options 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. By using structured (channelized) cir- cuit emulation, this module can adapt a maximum of 24 DS0 channels per port to ATM virtual channels with individual VPIs and VCIs.

Page 196 ® PacketStar PSAX family of products The Lucent Technologies PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateways are a product line of scalable, flexible multiservice ATM access devices offered to service providers’ Central Offices, and small to large enterprises.
Page 197 Glossary private branch exchange. Originally a switch inside a private business, part of a manual device that requires an operator to complete the call. Now those calls are automatic (at one time there was the need to differentiate the manual private auto- matic branch exchange [PABX] from the automatic PBX).
Page 198 Glossary PING server A utility serving PINGs; a signal also called the Internet Con- trol Message Protocol (ICMP) Special Request Packet, to a specific address to test the connection. If the PING does not return a response, the address is either down or unreachable. If only a portion of the PING returns, it indicates trouble with the connection and warns that communications may be slow or unreliable.
Page 199 Glossary PRI Offload A method for transferring internet data calls from a PSTN 5ESS switch to a PSAX, which sends them to ISP RAS’s and world wide web switches. Since internet data calls are much longer and have much bigger payloads than DS0 voice calls, this transfer frees PSTN circuits for shorter voice calls and relieves PSTN network congestion.
Page 200 Glossary PTSP PNNI Topology State Packet. The PNNI routing packet used to exchange reachability and resource information between ATM switches. It is also designed to ensure that a connection request is routed on a path with high probability of meeting quality of service standards.
Page 201 Glossary remote defect indication. An alert to a failure at the far end of an ATM network. Unlike FERF (far-end remote failure), the RDI alarm doesn’t indicate the specific circuit with failure. ready to receive See RR. ready to send See RTS.
Page 202 Glossary robbed-bit signaling A popular signaling mechanism used in T1 connections. Robbed-bit signaling typically uses bits known as A and B bits. These bits are sent by each side of a T1 termination and are buried in the voice data of each voice channel in the T1 cir- cuit, hence the term "robbed bit"...
Page 203 Glossary Service Access Multiplexer. A device that determines how to map ATM cells into SONET rings. 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.
Page 204 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 205 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 206 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 207 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 208 Glossary 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. subnet mask A bit pattern that lets a network administrator define a “sub- net”...
Page 209 Glossary 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 210 Glossary throughput The measure of the rate at which data flows through a device. time-division multiplex access See TDMA. time-division multiplexing See TDM. timeslot management channel See TMC. Timeslot Management Channel. A dedicated channel for sending control messages to set up and tear down calls in a T1 frame.
Page 211 Glossary traffic descriptor Generic traffic parameters that capture the intrinsic traffic characteristics of a requested ATM connection. traffic management An ATM term for network actions taken to prevent system congestion of layer traffic Transmission control protocol/Inter- See TCP/IP. net protocol trap A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) mechanism for transferring data in an unsolicited manner to the network...
Page 212 Glossary User Network Interface. The physical, electrical, and func- tional demarcation between the user and the network service provider. A UNI sets the specifications for procedures and pro- tocols between the user’s equipment and an ATM or frame relay network. unidirectional The transmission of information in one direction only.
Page 213 Glossary 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”). The remaining bandwidth is dynamically allocated to other ser- vices. VBR be divided into VBRnrt (variable bit rate, nonreal time) and VBRrt (variable bit rate, real time).
Page 214 Glossary virtual circuit connection See VCC. virtual interface See VI. virtual network navigator See VNN. virtual path See VP. virtual path identifier See VPI. virtual private network See VPN. virtual router A virtual router is a grouping of IP interfaces. Each virtual router with IP interfaces has its own associated IP routing table, IP ARP table, IP route cache, and IP address pools, and maintains it’s own routing and packet statistics.
Page 215 Glossary wide area network. A computer and voice network geograph- ically larger than a metropolitan area network (MAN). Tele- phone 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).
