Title: PacketStar
The 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module (20N32) provides support for the
office (central office or PABX switch) end of a two-wire analog telephone
line. This allows a voice loop from a voice switch to be connected directly to a
Multiservice Media Gateway system over an ATM network to a distant telephone or other analog device. The coding translation supported by this module is µ-law to µ-law only.
The module has three types of light-emitting diode (LED) indicators:
ACTIVE, FAIL, and LOS (loss of signal). On the faceplate, each port has a LOS
LED which turns on when the port goes off-hook. It also flashes in synchronization with an incoming ringing signal to the port.

This chapter describes how to use the console interface to perform the following tasks on the 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module:
• Obtaining general module data and accessing ports and channels
• Setting the values for the port and channel configuration of the 4-Port
Voice 2-Wire Office module
Before You Begin
Be sure to complete the following tasks first before configuring the 4-Port
Voice 2-Wire Office module:
• Configure your basic system (see “Configuring the System for Your Site” in
the appropriate PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway user guide).
• Configure the Stratum 3–4 module (see “Configuring the Stratum 3–4
Module” in the appropriate PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway
user guide).
When configuring the 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module using the console
interface, display-only fields are displayed in square brackets ([ ]).
!
CAUTION:
Due to the copper wire interface between an Enhanced DS1 or E1 module and a PBX and/or key telephone system, the PSAX system and the
other equipment should use a common chassis ground connection to
avoid ground current loops, which could affect voice quality.
Using the Equipment Configuration Window
This section describes how to obtain product, model, version, and serial number data about a module from the Equipment Configuration window. In
addition, the window provides operational status and alarm conditions on
each installed module. You also use this window to access the port and channel configuration windows for the PSAX modules.

Errors When Applying Interfaces to Ports
An error may occur when you apply an interface to channel. If an error condition occurs, the PSAX system sends an SNMP trap that is usually displayed
in the console Trap Log Display window (accessible from the Console Interface Main Menu window). The list below includes the most common interface errors that cause the PSAX system to display a message. (See the Packet-
®

Modifying a Circuit Emulation Interface
After you have configured an Circuit Emulation interface for a specified port
and channel, you cannot directly change the parameters for this interface
even if it is out of service. The concept for “modifying” (replacing) an Circuit
Emulation interface is that you delete the interface with the parameters you
no longer want for a specified port and channel, and then configure a new
interface for the same port and channel. Perform the following procedures in
the sequence shown to replace an Circuit Emulation interface that has
parameters you do not want.
configured interface for the same specified port and channel for
which you deleted the original interface (and connection). (See
the PacketStar PSAX System Connections Provisioning Guide for more
information.)

Specifies whether the Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) feature will be used on this interface. The DBA feature controls the transmission
of cells (CBR traffic) from the CE side of a CE-toATM connection to the backplane to save bandwidth that can used for other types of traffic on
the connected A TM trunk.
When incoming traffic from the backplane
towards the CE side of a CE-to-ATM connection
is 50 percent or more of the configured interface
(strapped) bandwidth, cells are being transmitted
from the CE side to the backplane. If the traffic
volume begins to drop below 50 percent, cell
transmission continues until the traffic volume
reaches 10 percent. At this threshold, the transmission of cells from the CE side of the interface
to the backplane is stopped. When the volume of
traffic again rises above 10 percent but is still
below 50 percent, cell transmission remains
stopped. At the point where traffic volume rises
to 50 percent or higher, cell transmission
resumes. This s cheme p revents f requent st opping

For every fax transmission call, both the origina lly assigned DSP resource, plus
the fax relay DSP resource, are consumed for the duration of the call. Thus,
the total remaining DSP connections is reduced by twice the number of connections using fax mode service.
†
Utilization of DSP resources for fax relay above 25% is not considered realistic
for most service provider environments. If this value exceeds 25%, then the
number of available DSP connections for pure voice mode calls is reduced to
less than 50% of connections available on the DSP2C module .
