Every effort was made to ensur e that the in forma tion in th is docume nt was complete and accurate at the time of printing. However, information is subject to change.

Preventing Toll Fraud

“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf). Be aw a re that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.

Avaya Fraud Intervention

If you suspect that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need technical assistance or suppor t, in the U ni ted States and Canada, call the Technical Service Center's Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at 1-800-643-2353.

How to Get Help

For additional support telephone numbers, go to the Avaya Web site:

http:/www.avaya.com/support/

If you are:

• Within the United States, click Escalation Lists, which includes escalation phone numbers within the U SA .

• Outside the United States, click Escalation Lists then click Glo- bal Escalation List, which includes phone numbers for the regional Centers of Excellence.

Providing Telecommunications Security

Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is, either unauthorized or malicious access to or use of) your company's telecommunications equi pm ent by some party.

Your company's “telecommunic ations equipment” includes both th is Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).

An “outside party” is an yone who is not a corporat e employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone (in cl uding someone who may be otherwise authorized) who accesses your telecommunications equipment with either malicious or mischievous intent .

Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-multiplexed and/or circuit-based) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or packet-based) equipment or interfaces for reasons of:

• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)

• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or tollfacility acces s )

• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)

• Mischief (troubling, but appare ntl y in noc uous, tampering)

• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration, regardless of motive or intent)

Be aware that there may be a ri sk of unauthorized intrusions asso ci ated with your system and/or its networked equipment. Also re al iz e that, if such an intrusion should oc cur, it could result in a variety of losses to your company (including but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs).

Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security

The final responsibility for securi ng both this system and its networked equipment rests with you - Avaya’s customer system administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of your responsibility on acquired knowledge and resources from a variety of sources incl udi ng but not limited to:

• Installation documents

• System administration documents

• Security documents

• Hardware-/s oftware-based security tools

• Shared information betwee n you and your peers

• Telecommunications security experts

To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and your peers should carefully pro gra m a nd c onfi gure:

• Your Avaya-provided telecommunications systems and their interfaces

• Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their underlying hardw ar e/software platforms and interfaces

• Any other equipment ne tworked to your Avaya products.

Voice Over Inte rn et Protocol ( VoI P)

If the equipment supports Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) facilities, you may experience c ert ai n compromises in performa nc e, rel iability and security, even when the equipm e n t performs as warranted. These compromises may become more acute if you fail to follow Avaya's recommendations for configuration, operation an d use of the equipment. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THESE RISKS AND THA T YOU HAVE DETERMINED THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR YOUR APPLICATION OF THE EQUIPMENT. YOU ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANOTHER AGREEMENT, YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR (1) ENSURING THAT YOUR NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS ARE ADEQUATELY SECURED AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED INTRUSION AND (2) BACKING UP YOUR DATA AND FILES.

About This Book

Overview

The Avaya MultiVantage on DEFINITY ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) combines portions of the Avaya DEFINITY Server with an ATM switch platform that meets specific criteria. DEFINITY ATM offers both intraswitch and interswitch ATM solutions. The intraswitch solution is called the ATM port network connectivity, or ATM-PNC, and the interswitch solution is called ATM circuit emulation service, or ATM-CES. ATM-PNC is only available on the R6.3r or later platform.

ATM-PNC provides an alternative to either the direct connect or center stage switch configurations for connecting the processor port network (PPN) to one or more expansion port networks (EPNs). ATM-PNC is available with four DEFINITY Server reliability options—standard, high, ATM network duplication, and critical.

Customers must choose whether they want direct connect, CSS, or ATM-PNC. It is not possible to mix configurations in the same DEFINITY Server R.

ATM-CES lets the DEFINITY Server emulate an ISDN-PRI trunk on an AT M facility. These virtual trunks can serve as integrated access, tandem, or tie trunks. ATM-CES emulates up to 8 ISDN spans on a single OC-3/STM-1 ATM interface.

ATM wide area network (ATM-WAN) extends the port network connectivity beyond a single ATM switch over large distances. This allows you to use either a private ATM network, public WAN or a combination of both. Several networked ATM devices can be used as effectively as a single ATM switch for inter-port network connectivity.

The DEFINITY Server can connect through several ATM switch types, many of which are sold through Avaya’s InterNetworking Systems (INS) channel, formerly know as DNS. Also, DEFINITY Servers are designed to work seamlessly with non-Avaya ATM switches that meet ATM standards set by the European Union.

Request Address Information

The complete DEFINITY Server tra ns lat io ns requi r e precuto ve r admini s trat io n, which, in turn, requires a customer address scheme, specifically the ATM addresses for theTN2305X/TN2306X ATM interface circuit pack(s). The address of the EPN is automatically read by the local ATM switch, using the address registration procedure defined in Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI). If field technicians do not have the login permissions required to obtain the EPN’s ATM address(es) directly from the ATM switch(es), the customer or ATM switch installe r must provide that information.

Redesigned ATM interface circuit packs

■ The TN2305B and TN2306B circuit packs do not replace the TN2305 and

TN2306 circuit packs, respectively. Either circuit pack can be used in all platforms, but the TN2305B or TN2306B is required for critical reliability with WAN Spare Processors (WSPs).

■ Y ou do not receive the TN2305B and TN2306B ATM interface circuit packs

as automatic upgrades.

The redesigned TN2305B/TN2306B ATM interface circuit packs have more capabilities and resources:

■ Firmware monitor port on the backplane of the circuit packs

■ Spare lead for WSP applications

■ Processor speed increased to 66 megahertz (MHz.)

■ Increased hardware vintage bits

■ ATM-network duplication

The increased functionality is available to both ATM-PNC and ATM-CES applications. However, both circuit packs can also function in systems designed and installed earlier than this release.

Firmware monitor port

Figure 1- 2 shows the location of the firmware monitor port on the backplane of the

circuit pack. You can attach a monitor cable to the ATM expansion circuit pack without removing the circuit pack from its carrier.

NOTE:

The TN2305/2306 circuit packs also have a firmware monitor header located on the circuit pack. This header functions the same as the redesigned backplane connector (Figure 1-2), but requires busying out and unseating the circuit pack to attach the monitor cable.

Example

A multimode fiber using an optical power budget of 11 dB and a loss of 1 dB/Km with no con nectors yields a distance of 11 Km, which is unrealistic. Using a fiber bandwidth of 500MHz-Km and using the ATM OC-3c symbol rate of 77.5 Mb/s (data rate 155 Mb/s) yields a distance of 6.4Km. In this case the distance is limited by the fiber bandwidth.

Determine ATM Switch Suitability

To fully support DEFINITY Server ATM-PNC and provide nonblocking ATM access between all port networks, ATM switches must support at least 400 point-to-multipoint switched virtual connection (SVC) roots or leav es per OC-3/STM-1 interface. Because different switches have different limits—some limit roots, some leaves, and some the total, we have developed the Meiners’ Algorithm to determine whether a switch can support a proposed set of port networks. Note that there are separate versions of the algorithm for Avaya M770 Multifunction switches and for other ATM switches. These algorithms are available to Avaya personnel as calculators within two Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets. Personnel with Avaya intranet access may find either of these MS Excel files at

http://info.dr.avaya.com/~meiners/atm.html. Check periodically for updates.

The following directions only apply to the non-M770 version of the algorithm. (See the spreadsheets for further usage notes.) For best results, use the calculator for one ATM switch at a time. Use trial and error to set the values in the user-defined values section until the feasibility indicator reports YES or PROBABLY.

NOTE:

Use of this spreadsheet is no substitute for thinking. Please apply basic sanity checks to the outcome. ATM switches may have limitations that the calculator does not consider.

To use the calculator, type the network layout and resource limits for the ATM switch you are using. Refer to the following caveats as you input your information:

1. Not all ATM switches have limits on all of the values. If a limit does not apply, enter any very large number (1000000 is good).

2. Some ATM switches (for example, access concentrators) allow a limited ability to configure the limits. Other switches have fixed limits. If you do not know the limits, ask the ATM switch vendor.

3. If your ATM switch is handling non-DEFINITY traffic, enter the resource limits after subtracting the resources used by the non-DEFINITY traffic.

4. If you are using an ATM switch with different limits on different modules or ports (for example, an Avaya M770 Multifunction Switch):

a. compute the average limits per port to which a DEFINITY port

network is attached.

b. select the port with the most restrictive limitations.

c. enter the system limit as these limits times the number of DEFINITY

port networks attached to that ATM switch.

NOTE:

The more partitioned the limits are, the less accurate are the results of the spreadsheet.

Determine ATM Switch Suitability

UNKNOWN means that special engineering is required for this application because of the transit traffic. The special treatment is necessary because the feasibility depends on the volume of the transit traffic. Making any of the changes suggested for NO above might make it feasible regardless of the transit traffic.

BANDWIDTH LIMITED means that the aggregate trunk bandwidth is insufficient to support the theoretical maximum demand. Bandwidth-limited applications are not recommended unless you are certain that the requested call load will never exceed the available bandwidth. Make sure you are comfortable with the call limit for calls to nonlocal port networks (PNs).

A 1 in the Test Results (Table 1-8 on page 1-16) indicates a passed test; a 0 indicates a failed test. To achieve a YES feasibility, all 54 tests must pass.

Final notes

The goal is to engineer the network so that in all reasonable applications, you always run out of DEFINITY Server time slots before running out of ATM switch resources. This is required to provide acceptable service to the customer.

These calculations factor in phone calls only. There is no specific accommodation for the ATM SVC cache, or for special features such as music, announcements, and group paging. The theory behind using 500 as the number of timeslots in a port network rather than the real number (484) is to allow for a normal amount of these special features. If you use multiple music on hold, group paging, and so forth, you may need special engineering.

This calculator determines that an application is PROBABLY feasible if it can handle reasonable activity mixes. The three columns in Table 1-8 that have bold entries define what is meant by reasonable. These tests require that the switch be able to handle a complete suite of 2-party calls, a complete suite of 3-party calls, and a mixed suite that involves some calls of each type. For best results, your application should pass all the constraint tests.

1-16 Issue 5 October 2002

555-233-124

Determine ATM Switch Suitability

Any ATM switch that processes transit traffic (that is, connections that do not either originate or terminate on any of the port networks directly attached to it) may require special engineering. This is possible if the number of trunks on the ATM switch is more than one. If this is the case, the calculator first attempts to determine if the application is feasible despite the transit traffic. If it is, it reports the feasibility as YES or PROBABLY. If not, it reports the feasibility as UNKNOWN, requiring special engineering.

Known limits of commonly used ATM switches

Use the limits shown in T abl e 1-9 to do your own calculations. To make it easier as you use the calculator, we suggest that you

1. Select and copy the values from the table in the spreadsheet.

2. Select the values on the sample calculation.

3. Select Edit > Paste Special with the transpose option to paste the values into the calculator.

NOTE:

These limits are the best we could determine at one time. For each switch, the example shown is generally the best you can do, assuming you bought the maximum configuration and you administered it optimally for DEFINITY (which are not necessarily the default settings). Consult the switch vendor for confirmation of current limits.

A limit shown as 1000000 means that this ATM switch has no independently defined limit on this resource.

Installing a DEFINITY Server ATM-PNC

Installing and Testing Network Synchronization

An Avaya MultiVantage on DEFINITY Server ATM-PNC requires network synchronization for DS1 circuit packs not to slip relative to the LEC/IXC switches. The ATM switch serves as the sync reference source for the DEFINITY Server. The A TM switch, in turn, derives primary and secondary sync. To accomplish this, the most common option is to use synchronization expanders (splitters).

Connections without synchronization splitters

In some configurations the ATM switches are traced to network clocks through their SONET /SDH interfaces, not requiring any synchronization splitters. However, the ATM switch could require a single splitter if only one of the sync sources is derived from the network.

The ATM switches may obtain their network synchronization as follows:

■ The ATM switch gets its network timing reference from its

SONET/SDH/SDIT interface to that network.

■ Or if the customer wants to use a DS1 source for network synchronization

that also happens to be a DEFINITY Server switch trunk, then one sync splitter is necessary to send a copy of that DS1 signal to the ATM switch. The DS1 circuit pack is only an indirect timing reference for the DEFINITY Server.

Connections needing synchronization splitters

If the ATM network does not provide a synchronization expander (splitter), then the ATM configurations may require one that takes a DS1 T1 or E1 signal and redirects it to the

■ ATM switch(es), depending on confi gur ati on and dupli ca tio n

■ DEFINITY Server through the DS1 circuit pack

This creates a single synchronization source. Check the customer’s configuration carefully so that you can

■ Connect the hardware correctly during installation

■ Properly administer the synchronization plan later (Chapter 5,

‘‘Administering ATM-PNC and ATM-CES’’)

Installing and Testing Network Synchronization

This section covers the synchronization installation and test process.

■ Splitter descriptions—Describes the splitter’s inputs and outputs

■ Synchronization spl it ter connections—Connection diagrams for timing

connections through a DSU/CSU (Figure 3-6 on page 3-11) and an ICSU (Figure 3-7 on page 3-12)

■ Verify the DS1 service—Checks for presence of the DS1 T1 or E1 timing

source and the general health of the DS1 circuit pack.

■ Installing and testing the splitter provides the following information

— Splitter port tests (401A/402A only) — Installing a 400A T1 splitter — Installing 401A, 402A, or 403A splitters

Installing and testing the synchronization splitter involves interrupting the DS1 signal provided by the service provider. Even though the DS1 circuit pack should be down less than 5 minutes, before removing a working T1/E1 span, contact the service provider. Failure to notify the T1/E1 service provider may result in:

— The service provider looping the T1/E1 span back to the subscriber. — A span alarm being detected at the central office and the span being

taken out of service, sending an AIS (blue Alarm) to the DEFINITY Server. The synchronization signal is necessary for testing equipment and connections.

Splitter descriptions

Table 3-2 describes the 4 splitter models and their capabilities. The drawings

show the splitters and their connection points. Figure 3-5 on page 3-10 shows a schematic of the 2 jumper sets and their connections for 401A, 402A, and 403A sync splitters.

Setting Up ATM Network Duplication

ATM-PNC configurations without duplicated SPEs can be supported with duplicated EPN connectivity to other points on an ATM network, or ATM network duplication. These points can be on separate ATM switches, the same ATM switch, or directly connected to an ATM-WAN.

With respect to port network connectivity, there is no difference in performance between ATM network duplication and critical reliability. ATM network duplication configurations require

■ A simplex SPE complex in the PPN

■ Duplicate connectivity over ATM to all PNs

■ Duplicate ATM interfaces in each EPN

■ Duplicate Tone-Clock boards in each EPN.

An ATM network duplication configuration can be the result of

■ A new installation

■ An upgrade from a standard reliability system

The EPN configuration for ATM network duplication is the same as for an EPN equipped for ATM critical reliability (Figure 3-9 on page 3-33).

Installing a WAN Spare Processor

A WAN spare processor (WSP) acts as a backup to the main processor port network (PPN) in case the ATM connections to and from the main PPN are severed. Because of their role as a backup for disaster recovery, WSPs may be in different geographical locations. Even though existing calls are lost when this failure occurs, a WSP quickly acts as the main PPN, allowing system recovery with minimal down time.

Figure 3-10. WAN Spare Processor (WSP) configuration

WSPs continually monitor the administered connection(s) to the main PPN to determine if the PPN is actively communicating with EPNs. An ATM-network failure breaks the connection between the EPNs and the PPN and signals the WAN spare processor to take over call processing control.

Issue 5 October 2002

3-37555-233-124

Installing a DEFINITY Server ATM-PNC

ATM-network failures can also include faults/problems:

■ in the ATM switch.

■ in the main PPN.

■ within a link.

■ in the ATM network’s fiber-optic cables and connections.

When WSPs are initially administered, their state is standby (the normal state). When there is a break in the ATM network, a WSP goes from standby to active. If there is a failure in the Avaya DEFINITY Server, the ATM network, and/or any link in between, the main PPN alarms and each WSP that becomes active alarms.

Which WSP takes over the PPN functions depends upon where the failure in the ATM network occurs.

■ If there is more than one WSP, the WSP that is administered with highest

priority takes over the responsibilities of the main PPN before other, lower-priority WSPs. See Priority administration.

■ A WSP becomes active and takes control of the EPNs when the

connection with the main PPN is lost for the administered time period (5-99 minutes; the default is 8 minutes). The WSP then boots up and takes control. All calls are lost during these times.

Translations

■ A WSP becomes active by establishing Expansion Archangel Link (EAL)

connectivity to the EPNs on a first come, first serve basis. A WSP does not disrupt existing EALs to EPNs.

■ Standby condition for a WSP requires the establishment of links from each

WSP to each other and to the main PPN.

■ Every WSP could potentially take over the entire system if there are

administered system links between the main PPN and each WSP and from every WSP to every other WSP. The WSPs and the main PPN monitor these links so that each processor can observe and report its status.

■ The WSP and main PPN translations are the same, except for the WSP

number.

■ WSP databases can be updated manually while in the standby mode or

automatically using Avaya ASP Manager (formerly DTA)

■ The Avaya DEFINITY Server does not copy new translations from the PPN

to the WSPs. Y ou must upload the translations to the WSP either manually or through Avaya ASP Manager (formerly DTA).

3-38 Issue 5 October 2002

555-233-124

Installing a WAN Spare Processor

Priority administration

■ Each WSP is assigned a priority from 1 (the first PN to take over) to 15 (last

PN to take over.)

■ Ensure the integrity of the priority administration, because the system does

not prevent 2 WSPs from having the same priority.

■ A WSP can also have no priority, called a blank priority. A WSP that is

administered with a blank priority plays dead, that is, it does not monitor any other WSPs and never become active. A blank priority facilitates interchanging the priority of two WSPs without having to remove them. A WSP with a priority of blank is treated by call processing and by maintenance software as if it does not exist.

Installing a WAN Spare Processor

■ If using Avaya ASP Manager (formerly DTA) the TN799B/C/DP C-LAN

circuit packs must be in the same carriers and slots in the main PPN and WSPs.

■ When registering the WSPs with INADS, give them the Installation

Location (IL) number for the main PPN and the number of the WSP (1-15).

NOTE:

This is the administered WSP number, not the priority number.

Other ATM configuration guidelines

■ DEFINITY hardware or software does not recognize a WSP as a port

network when inactive. The number of port networks in an r configuration is not limited by the number of WSPs used. For example, the number of WSPs used is not subtracted from the total number of PNs to determine the number of PNs that the system can support.

■ A WSP in the standby mode is not intended to be a Distributed

Communications System (DCS) node. Although DCS could potentially be an effective backup or reroute strategy, DCS connections are not supported between parts of a failed switch. A WSP in active mode can have the DCS functionalities of the PPN.

■ A WSP always has a simplex SPE, although it supports Standard, High, or

Installing a DEFINITY Server ATM-PNC

Other hardware

If you are using Avaya ASP Manager (formerly DTA) to copy translations, you must install a TN799B or later Control LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack in the main PPN and each WSP.

Alarming strategy

The alarm strategy rules for the ATM WSPs are as follows:

■ When a WSP is active, it generates a LIC-ERR major alarm on the PPN

and begins a 6-day countdown timer before the system goes into No-License mode. This is normal. This is to prevent using the WSP as the main PPN permanently.

■ If there is a failure in the DEFINITY system, the ATM network, and/or any

link in between, the main PPN alarms and each WSP that becomes active alarms.

■ When a WSP is active, it performs exactly like the main PPN, generating its

own alarms, for example, when it loses communication with an EPN.

■ When a WSP is in standby mode, and it is unable to take over PPN

functionality, it generates a minor alarm to the PPN.

Administration

WSPs must be administered and have the current translations from the main PPN installed on them. You can install the WSP translations manually or through the

Avaya ASP Manager (formerly DTA) software.

Before you start

Ensure that the following items are ready before you proceed:

License File

Remote Feature Activation (RFA) is a Web-based application that enables the creation and deployment of License Files for all switches beginning with R10.
