''Maintenance for CSI
A PRI Endpoint provides ISDN-PRI (Primary Rate Interface) connections for
customers with application equipment or terminal adapters that terminate
ISDN-PRI. The equipment or terminal adapters are connected to the switch via
the UDS1 interface circuit pack. PRI Endpoint Port (PE-BCHL) maintenance
provides a strategy to maintain PRI Endpoint Port hardware circuitry on the UDS1
circuit pack. The maintenance strategy involves logging PRI Endpoint Port
hardware errors, running tests for port initialization, periodic and scheduled
maintenance, system technician-demanded tests, and alarm escalation and
resolution.
Wideband Switching
The Wideband Switching capability supports end-to-end connectivity between
customer endpoints at data rates from 128 to 1536 kbps over T1 facilities and to
1984 kbps over E1 facilities. Avaya DEFINITY Server switching capabilities are
extended to support wideband calls comprised of multiple DS0s that are switched
end-to-end as a single entity.
The Wideband Switching capability is designed for ISDN application equipment
(for example, ISDN video codecs), but it retains provisions for non-ISDN
application equipment by using PRI terminal adapters. In the same sense that an
Avaya DEFINITY Server data module acts as a DCP or BRI terminal adapter
between endpoint data (for example, V.35) and dialing (for example, RS-366)
interfaces and a DCP interface, a PRI terminal adapter acts as a wideband
terminal adapter between endpoint data and dialing interfaces and Avaya
DEFINITY Server's line-side ISDN PRI interface.
The Wideband Switching Capability introduces PRI Endpoints on Avaya
DEFINITY Server line-side interfaces. A PRI Endpoint consists of one or more
contiguous B-channels on a line-side T1 or E1 ISDN PRI facility, and it has an
extension number. Endpoints initiate and receive calls using ISDN SETUP
messages that indicate the data rate and specific B-channels to be used, and they
communicate all other call status information via standard ISDN messages. Any
Avaya DEFINITY Server ISDN signaling set (for example, AT&T, CCITT, ECMA)
may be used for a line-side ISDNPRI facility.
