The CBR module consists of 4 or 8 DSX-1/E1 interfaces capable of accepting
superframe or extended superframe DS1 inputs. The DS1 signal is then mapped
over a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) virtual channel. Encapsulation of the T1 within the
ATM service is based on the ATM Forum (AF-SAA-0032.000) Circuit Emulation
Service Interoperability specification. The ATM Forum specification designates two
modes of operation:
Structured —Modeled after fractional T1. Only the timeslots which will be used
are sent.
Unstructured —Merely encapsulates the entire DS1 onto an ATM path. It allows
timing and FDL to pass through.
Structured DS1
Implement the structured service if you require DS0 midspan drop-and-insert. See
Figure 52.

Channel bank converts analog signal to T1; putting voice channel on DS0 5.
PathBuilder S700 puts DS0 5 on virtual circuit (VP 0/VC 35) and passes structured CBR traffic through to
the ATM network.
ATM network continues to carry CBR traffic on to another ATM network or drops the traffic (on DS0 5) to
a public switched telephone network.
Midspan drop and insert allows services such as public switched telephone service
to be inserted into the ATM link. Combining this service with Ethernet bridge
service provides you with a complete integrated communications access solution.
See Figure 53.
