The Alcatel-Lucent ATM Service Card enables easy integration of the Alcatel-Lucent 3600 and 3600+
MainStreet Multiservice Bandwidth Managers into ATM networks.
The Alcatel-Lucent MainStreet ATM
Service Card provides ATM service
adaptation and inverse multiplexing
over ATM (IMA) for the Alcatel-Lucent
MainStreet 3600 and 3600+ Multiservice
Bandwidth Managers. Installed in any
universal card slot (UCS), it adapts the
rich variety of services supported by
the Alcatel-Lucent MainStreet 3600 and
3600+ Multiservice Bandwidth Managers
to ATM cells for transmission over an
ATM network.
As part of the Alcatel-Lucent MainStreet
access portfolio, comprising multiservice
access platforms (MAPs), integrated
access devices (IADs) and network
termination units (NTUs), it is considered
the most successful digital overlay
platform ever built – with more than
250,000 nodes deployed worldwide.
FEATURES
• Supports AAL1 (CE mapping) and
AAL5 (HDLC mapping)
• Provides four T1 or E1 physical inter faces, where each interface can:
¬ Provide a user network interface
(UNI) to an ATM network
¬ Function as an independent
network link
¬ Be assigned to a logical IMA port
for combined transmission
BENEFITS
• Full support for all services provided
by the Alcatel-Lucent MainStreet
3600 and 3600+ Multiservice Band width Managers
• Full end-to-end management from
the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Network
Manager

Card Variants
There are 8 variants based on:
• Primary rate interface (T1 or E1)
• AAL type (AAL1 or AAL1/AAL5)
• System backplane bandwidth
(4 Mb/s or 16 Mb/s)
• EMC compliance
ATM Service Adaptation
• AAL1 and AAL5
• Selectable on a DS0 basis for
channelized user-side interfaces
(e.g., T1/E1)
AAL1 Adaptation and CES
• AAL1 or AAL1/AAL5
• Adapts CBR data and associated
signaling (n*64 kb/s) to AAL1
VCs over an ATM network, in
accordance with AF-SAA-
0032.000 and GR-1113- CORE
•DS0s
¬ Supports up to 84 for T1
interfaces
¬ Supports up to 104 for E1
interfaces
¬ Multiple DS0 CESs can be
transmitted over the same VC
¬ Voice (LGS) and data (V.35)
DS0s with a common desti nation can be transmitted
together
• Configurable signaling multi frame size: 16 or 24 frames
• Supports voice signaling with
robbed-bit signaling and channel
associated signaling
• Received cell delay variation
tolerance is user defined per VC
• Transmit cell level is user defined
per VC from n to 47, in one byte
increments, where n is the number
of DS0s in the VC
AAL5 Adaptation and
HDLC Services
• AAL1/AAL5
• Transports HDLC-formatted
traffic over an ATM network
• Transparently adapts streams
of HDLC frames into AAL5 VCs
• Interworks and adapts streams
of frame relay HDLC frames into
AAL5 VCs
• Supports up to 3,968 Kb/s of
HDLC-formatted traffic
Interworking Mode
• Supports service interworking
mode (translates frame relay into
ATM, for transmission across an
ATM network to ATM devices)
• Supports network interworking
mode (transports frame relay
across an ATM network to
another frame relay network)
• Compliant with FRF.5 and FRF.8
using AAL5 and non real-time
variable bit rate (nrt-VBR) or
unspecified bit rate (UBR)
