Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES modules in the following sections:

• “Functional Description”

• “Software Features” on page 2-2

• “Module Specifications” on page 2-3

• “Module Status Indicators” on page 2-5

Functional Description

The 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES modules (23N13 (SM) and 23N12 (MM)) offer two operating modes:

• The OC-3 operating mode supports 84 asynchronous VT1.5s (DS1s), with

each DS1 supporting 24 DS0s. In the OC-3 mode, up to 2 DS0s per T1 can be configured for the HDLC support.

• The STM-1 operating mode supports 63 asynchronous, channelized VC-12

(E1) interfaces for circuit emulation services (ISDN) and the HDLC Passthrough Interface. Each E1 supports 30 DS0s.

2 Module Description

The line rate of the modules is approximately 155 Mbps. The linear 1+1 APS/MSP feature provides protection against facility, port, or module failure. The linear APS/MSP feature supports 1+1 protection only; the N:1 protection feature is not supported by this module.

The 1+1 architecture consists of a far-end signal that is continuously bridged (at the electrical level) to the APS/MSP working and APS/MSP protection I/O modules so that the same payloads are transmitted identically to the nearend working and protection I/O modules. At the near-end, the working and protection OC-3/STM-1 signals are monitored independently and identically for failures. The receiving I/O modules select either the working or the protection signal as the one from which to select the traffic, based on switch initiation criteria. Because of the continuous far-end bridge, the 1+1 architecture does not allow an unprotected extra traffic channel to be provided.

The module is supplied with the following transmission types:

• Single-mode (SM) module (23N13) is intended for long-reach applications,

typically between LANs. This module is frequently used to connect highspeed LAN devices (such as routers) to an ATM network.

• Multimode (MM) module (23N12) is intended for short-reach applications,

for example, interoffice or intraoffice sections of a local area network (LAN).

Automatic Protection Switching (APS) Feature

Module pairs may be loaded in all I/O slots of all PSAX chassis. In the PSAX 1250 chassis (1.2 Gbps backplane capacity), you may load a maximum of 8 modules in a non-APS configuration, or a maximum of 4 pairs in an APS configuration.

To set up the APS feature, you must install two 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES modules as an adjacent pair into the PSAX chassis. The left module of the pair must be installed in an odd numbered slot. One module of the pair functions as the primary module (working module), and the other module of the pair functions as the backup module (protection module). The APS implementation is compliant with the GR-253-CORE standard and supports linear, non-revertive APS, in both bidirectional and unidirectional modes. Non-revertive, or non-automatic, switchback reduces a service interruption due to link failure from two interruptions to one interruption.

SPVC Prioritization Support

The PSAX 1000 and the PSAX 4500 systems provide efficient transport of traffic transport between cell sites and the mobile switching centers (MSCs). In cellular phone transmissions, all traffic between the cell sites and the MSC is wireless backhaul. In North America, due to historical reasons, a cell site supports multiple radio access technologies such as AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, and GSM. To provide efficient statistical multiplexing gain, multiple DS1s are grouped together using IMA over ATM in one IMA group. Furthermore, IMA provides N:1 protection of the DS1 leased lines under many circumstances. However, when one or more DS1s fail in the IMA group, enough bandwidth might not be available to carry all cell site traffic from cell site to the MSC. In the current dynamic CAC as implemented by the PSAX system, all SPVC and SVC calls are cleared whenever one or more DS1s fail in an IMA group. PVC connections are not affected; however, an IMA cell may get dropped but the connection is reestablished immediately.

3 Configuring the OC-3 Mode Ports

and Channels Using the Console

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes how to set the values for the port and channel configuration for the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES modules (23N12 (MM)/23N13 (SM)).

Preparatory Steps Before Configuring the Module

Before beginning to configure the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES module, be sure you have performed the following steps:

1. Set the values to configure your basic system, see PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway User Guide for details. Refer to “Related Reading” on page 1-2 for additional information for the PacketStar Multiservice Media Gateway systems.

2. Set the values to configure the Stratum 3–4 module, see PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway User Guide for details.

3. If you are using 1+1 protection, make certain that the paired modules are placed in the correct slots. The left module of the pair must be in an oddnumbered slot; the right module must be in an adjacent (consecutive) even-numbered slot. In this placement, either module can serve as the working or protection module. All PSAX chassis require this placement scheme for 1+1 protection.

4. If you are not using 1+1 protection, place the module in any I/O slot of the PSAX 1000, PSAX 1250, PSAX 2300, or PSAX 4500.

Note: The modules each have a separate set of windows in the console

user interface; however, the procedures for configuring them are identical. The modules may be configured as a 1+1 protection pair, or one module may be configured without a second module providing 1+1 protection. An 1+1 protection pair should always consist of the same module type for module hardware and network reliability (see “Optical Specifications” on page 2-4 for signal distance reach). The pair consists of an working module and a redundant protection module. This configuration ensures that if the working module fails, the protection module takes over.

Setting Up the Working and Protection Modules

Figure 3-1 shows a working and protection module setup on the PacketStar PSAX 1250 chassis. The modules in protection configuration can be used in APS/MSP protection configuration in the PSAX 1000, PSAX 2300, and PSAX 4500 as well.

to Enabled to use any setting in this field. The CT Mode specifies the remote continuity test mode, where you can select Four-Wire or Two- Wi r e. This parameter supports the H.248 Basic Continuity Package. In a local- and remote-end PSAX system configuration, either with other PSAX systems or non-PSAX switches, the PSAX can act as either the tester

or testee. See the “PSAX System as Tester/Testee” tables after this Field Description Table for a summary of signal strengths that are exchanged in the above configurations, and other pertinent information.

Four-wire This value is currently not supported. As the tester, the

PSAX applies a 2010Hz signal if the other termination is 4-wire. As the testee, the PSAX acts in loopback mode if the other termination is 4-wire.

Two- wi re This value is currently not supported. As the tester, the

PSAX applies a 1780Hz signal if the other termination is 2-wire. As the testee, the PSAX acts in transponder mode if the other termination is 2-wire.

[Line Status] Default: NoAlarm

Range: N/A

Format: Predefined

The PSAX System side of a local/remote configuration can function as the tester or the testee in configuration with another PSAX, a non-PSAX switch, and a media gateway controller (MGC). Regardless of tester or testee status, the PSAX system side is always 4-wire. When interfacing with a 2-wire device, the PSAX converts its 4-wire signal (2010-Hz) to a 2-wire (1780-Hz) signal when replying to a 2-wire device, thus operating in transponder mode. As the testee, the PSAX system can act in loopback mode if the remote end is 4-wire. The loopback mode is configured on the Media Gateway Controller configured with the PSAX system. The signaling call progress tones (dial, ringing, busy, congestion, special information, caller waiting) are generated from the TAS module in CAS mode in configuration with the MGC. All other signals, such as continuity check and the 10x tests (102, 105, and 108) are generated from the TAS module in TAS mode. See the Tones and Announcements Server Module User Guide for more information.

Specifies a line status failure or constraint if applicable. See the reference information appendix in this user guide.

The port and channel configuration has been applied.

If you have completed the configuration of the primary working module, the module pair is now configured for MSP protection and the working module is ready to pass traffic.

After you configured the first Channelized STM-1 ATM MM/SM MSP module, in an even- or odd-numbered slot, it is designated the “working” module and is now functioning in active status. The module in the adjacent slot is designated the “standby protection” module and is now functioning in standby status. As the signal is received in the working (active) module, it is also being sent to the protection (standby) module, which drops the signal because is it not needed. If the working module in active status fails, the system puts the protection module into active status, and the working module into standby status. At a later time when the working module is replaced or otherwise made operational, the active status cannot revert automatically to the working module. To cause the active status to revert to the working module, you must apply a command on the Channelized STM-1 ATM MM/SM MSP Configuration window (see Figure 3-16 and Table 3-14).

With the conclusion of this procedure, your module pair(s) are ready to pass traffic.

4 If you have finished all configuration on the active module, you should

save the configuration by completing “Saving the Equipment Configuration and Logging Off”, the next procedure.

This chapter concludes with the procedures for viewing the connection statistics, which are after the “Saving the Equipment Configuration and Logging Off” procedure.

DoNotRevert

APS Command Default: NoAction

Range: N/A

Format: Predefined

Allows the system software to perform switchover of active status between the module pair automatically, as needed.

Typically, the following APS switch-over commands are used for testing and maintenance activities.

ManualSwitchToWorkPort

ManualSwitchToProtPort

ForcedSwitchToWorkPort

ForcedSwitchToProtPort

Switches the active status from the protection module to the working module (lowest priority command).

Switches the active status from the working module to the protection module (lowest priority command).

Switches the active status from the protection module to the working module (higher priority command).

Switches the active status from the working module to the protection module (higher priority command).

LockoutProtection Regardless of whether the working module has failed,

prevents the switchover of active status from the working module to the active module.

Clear Clears the currently applied command. Use this com-

mand to clear an existing command (other than NoAc-

tion) before applying another switchover command.

Configuration Parameters/Status Panel

APS Mode Default: Unidirec-

tional

Range: N/A

Format: Predefined

Specifies whether traffic flow is one-way or two-way. Prior to entering bidirectional mode from unidirectional mode, you should clear outstanding manual commands and line status. Otherwise you may have to manually synchronize the two nodes.

Unidirectional APS switchover is governed by conditions on which-

ever end of the termination is set to unidirectional in the send direction.

Bidirectional APS switchover is governed by both near-end and far-

end conditions. The active (or non-standby) port of the termination must remain in synchronization with the far-end active (or non-standby) port for successful switchover to occur.

For the STM-1 MSP and STM-4 MSP modules, the ITU-T G.841 Transmission Systems and Media, Digital Systems and Networks, Section 7.1 (formerly G.783 Annex A) mandates channel 0 to indicate the switch configuration and channel 1 to indicate the bridge configuration. The PSAX system is compliant with G.841 Section 7.1 by using channel 0 and 1 coding in both the uni- and bi-directional modes. For the OC3c APS and OC-12c APS modules, the Telcordia GR-253-CORE Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Transport Systems: Common Generic Criteria (formerly G.783 Annex B) mandates channel 1 to indicate the switch configuration and channel 2 to indicate the bridge configuration (0 indicates no request). The PSAX is not compliant with G.841 Annex B. The APS and MSP protocol are using the K1/K2 byte in the SONET/SDH overhead to exchange information between multiplexed section endpoints. The protocols are using bit 6 to 8 of the K2 byte in a different way: The STM-1 MSP and STM-4 MSP modules are using these bits from the K2 byte to indicate an MS-AIS or MS-RDI alarm. The OC-3 APS and OC-12 APS module are using these bits from the K2 byte to indicate the mode of operation. On the Msp-STM-1SM MSP Configuration menu, the PSAX system menu displays the K1/K2 byte values it is transmitting and/or receiving, but those values do not include the values for the K2 bits 6-8. For interworking between a CBX 500® system and a PSAX system, the CBX and the PSAX use different state machines for bi-directional transmission, causing the MSP function to lock up. In links from the PSAX to the CBX, the state machines are compatible for unidirectional links.

Configuring J1 Trace

The J1 and J2 byte configuration ensures that data reaches the correct destination and also helps in long term data monitoring.

Saving the Equipment Configuration and Logging Off

After configuring the module ports and channels, the interface types for each port and channel, and the connections, you must save the values to the PSAX system database. It is recommended that you save your values frequently as you progress through your work, at a minimum, after finishing each stage of work:

• Configuring each module in your system

• Configuring the connections in your system

• Before exiting your current console session

Perform the following procedure to permanently save the values for your system.

CAUTION:

If your system loses power or if you reboot the chassis, and you have not yet saved the values permanently, you will lose all unsaved values you have applied on the various windows.

Begin

1 Press Ctrl+G, to return to the Console Interface Main Menu window.

On the Console Interface Main Menu window, [Modified] is displayed next to the Save Configuration command, indicating you have made changes to the system that are not yet saved to the PSAX system database (see Figure 3-22).

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes how to set the values for the port and channel configuration for the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES modules (23N12 (MM)/23N13 (SM)).

Preparatory Steps Before Configuring the Module

Before beginning to configure the 1-Port Channelized OC-3/STM-1 CES module, be sure you have performed the following steps:

1. Set the values to configure your basic system, see PacketStar

PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway User Guide for details. Refer to “Related Reading” on page 1-2 for additional information for the PacketStar Multiservice Media Gateway systems.

2. Set the values to configure the Stratum 3–4 module, see PacketStar

PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway User Guide for details.

3. If you are using 1+1 protection, make certain that the paired modules are

placed in the correct slots. The left module of the pair must be in an oddnumbered slot; the right module must be in an adjacent (consecutive) even-numbered slot. In this placement, either module can serve as the working or protection module. All PSAX chassis require this placement scheme for 1+1 protection.

4. If you are not using 1+1 protection, place the module in any I/O slot of

the PSAX 1000, PSAX 1250, PSAX 2300, or PSAX 4500.

Note: The modules each have a separate set of windows in the console

Figure 4-1 shows a working and protection module setup on the PacketStar PSAX 1250 chassis. The modules in protection configuration can be used in APS/MSP protection configuration in the PSAX 1000, PSAX 2300, and PSAX 4500 as well.
