Warranty Warnings
!
CAUTION:
Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your
warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized
by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such
equipment.
!
CAUTION:
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not forcefully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in
the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.
Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing
the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and
allows the PSAX system to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the module that is inserted.
!
CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules
installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to
any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis
with removable modules installed will void your warranty. Only Lucentauthorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module
installed.

When installing and operating the 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice
module, follow the safety guidelines provided in the printed PacketStar
®

Configured for channelized E1 service, the 21-Port High-Density E1
Multiservice module maps up to 31 individual high level data links (HDLC)
on a single E1 connection (180 HDLC data links per module). This module
provides a data service unit (DSU)/channel service unit (CSU) for each port
in order to configure individual channels. The module has a built-in CSU
capability, which allows it to interface directly to an E1 line with multiple
repeaters. This feature allows the module to interface with a time-division
multiplex (TDM) channelized E1 circuit.
You can configure the 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module to
provide N x 64 Kbps (fractional E1) structured circuit emulation service.
When configured for E1 circuit emulation service, the module interfaces with
TDM channelized E1 circuits. It converts channelized data (usually voice
data) to ATM virtual channels. This module can adapt a maximum of
31channels per port to ATM virtual channels with individual virtual path
identifiers (VPIs) and virtual channel identifiers (VCIs), using structured
(channelized) circuit emulation. Signaling bit transport from time slot 16 is
also provided, based on ATM Forum standards for channel-associated
signaling (CAS). With the 64 Kbps "clear channel" capability, this module
can connect to a device using an integrated services digital network with a
primary rate interface (ISDN PRI) service.
Because this structured circuit
emulation service can be configured to use only a fraction of the time slots,
you can configure several independent emulated circuits to share one service
interface.
The 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module uses ATM Forum
Specification UNI 3.0 or UNI 3.1, which allows any E1 port to act as a user
network interface (UNI), an interim inter-switch protocol (IISP) user or
network interface to an ATM network.
Connection Options
The 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module connects to user
equipment via a standard 10-foot Lucent cable (COMCODE 300550639)
with an RJ-48H connector. Typically, this cable is used to connect the module
to one of the following patch panels within the same or an adjacent Telco
frame:
• PSAX 12-Port BNC Patch Panel (impedance 75 ohms)
• PSAX 24-Port RJ Patch Panel (impedance 120 ohms)
• PSAX 48-Port RJ Patch Panel (impedance 120 ohms)
The PSAX 24-Port RJ Patch Panel uses ports 1–21 (ports 22-24 are not used).
The PSAX 48-Port RJ Patch Panel uses ports 1–21 and 25–45 (ports 22–24
and 46–48 are not used).
The Lucent cable can be extended for short-haul links of up to 500 feet (with
5 dB cable loss) by connecting the Lucent cable to an Avaya cable (p/n
1010025AGY CUSTL, at -1 dB per 100 feet), or equivalent. Use RJ-48H
connectors (for example, Cinch p/n 57-10500-271A and Cinch p/n
57-20500-7A) on the extension cable to link the Lucent cable to the
PSAX Patch Panels.

This chapter describes how to use the console interface to perform the following tasks:
• Setting the values for the port and channel configuration of the 21-Port
High-Density E1 Multiservice module
• Viewing the port statistics
• Saving the module configuration and logging off
Before You Begin
Be sure to complete the following tasks first before configuring the 21-Port

• ATM interswitch signaling protocol (IISP) user
• ATM interswitch signaling protocol (IISP) network
• ATM private network-network interface (PNNI) 1.0
• ATM user-network interface (UNI) 3.0, 3.1, and 4.0
• CAS Trunkline
• Circuit emulation
• Frame relay user-network interface (UNI)

• High-level data link (HDLC) passthrough
• Primary rate interface (PRI) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
network
• Primary rate interface (PRI) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
user
Before You Begin
Before you can set interface configuration values, you must have selected an
interface type value other than Unconfigured in the Interface Type field on
the 21-Port High-Density E1 Multiservice module’s Port and Channel configuration window.
Note: For a matrix of interface types by PSAX I/O module types, see the
Interface Types by I/O Module Types table in the appendix, “Refer-
ence Information.”
Avoiding Common Errors When Configuring Interfaces
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 appendix, “SNMP Trap Messages,” in the appropriate PacketStar PSAX Multiservice
Media Gateways user guide for more information about the SNMP traps
related to interface errors).

• Attempting to configure an interface for a port or channel that has already

• Attempting to configure an interface that is already in service (must be out

• Entering field values that are not recognized by the PSAX system software
Optimizing SVC Call Performance
The information in this section provides guidance on optimizing call performance when configuring SVCs on the PNNI interface. The service-specific
connection-oriented protocol (SSCOP) parameter is set on these interface
configuration windows: ATM IISP network or IISP user, ATM UNI 3.0 or
UNI 3.1, or ATM PNNI 1.0.
Note: These settings are suggested for connecting to a PSAX system from
a remote site only. The PSAX system configures these settings
internally in its own ATM switch.
When unacknowledged protocol data units (PDUs), the MaxPD field on the
remote end peer (such as the NavisCore™ CBX 500™) shows the maximum
number of SSCOP packets transmitted since the last PSAX polling of the peer.
To optimize call performance, the SSCOP Rx Window Size field of the local
ATM interface should be less than the maximum value displayed in the
MaxPD credit window at the remote end of the ATM interface. Otherwise,
the rate at which switched calls can be set and released may be degraded.
On the ATM IISP Interface Configuration window, the maximum credit window (the SSCOP Rx Window Size field) is configurable with a value up to 32
for all ATM interfaces on the PSAX system. The interfaces of the ATM
switches that are connected to the PSAX system should be configured with
the same values. This method results in 100 percent call completion at a call
setup rate of 60 calls per second using even distribution. If these values are
not configured in this way, calls will be set up at a rate of less than 60 calls
per second.
Note: Various SSCOP parameter settings determine the maximum credit
window. As a result, you may not be able to directly use these settings.
For more information on the SSCOP parameter, see the Application Note
entitled Connecting a CBX or GX Switch to a PacketStar

dard, pending completion of PNNI, Phase 1. Building on ATM UNI 3.0 and
3.1, it uses static routing tables established by the network administrator to
route connections around link failures.
Each connection using the IISP interface is configurable as either the user
side or the network side. See the Field Description Table following the ATM
IISP Interface Configuration window for VPI and VCI connection limits.
This section provides instructions for managing interfaces by performing the
following tasks:
• Configuring and applying interface(s)
• Bringing interface(s) into service
• Taking interface(s) out of service
• Viewing interface(s)
• Deleting interface(s)
• Viewing interface statistics
Configuring and Viewing the ATM IISP Interfaces
Begin
At the conclusion of the module port and channel configuration procedure, you accessed the ATM IISP Interface Configuration window (see
Figure 4-1).
1 Select the values for the fields on the window in Figure 4-1 from the val-
ues given in Table 4-1. Table 1-1 describes the commands on the window.
2 To apply the interface values you selected, select the Apply interface
Configuration command.
3 If your configuration requires you to bring the interface into service at
this time, do so by selecting the Bring Interface Into Service command. For more information on other configuration windows on which
you can bring interfaces into service, see the “Bringing One or More ATM
IISP Interfaces into Service” procedure in this guide.
Note: The interface must have in-service status so that the PVC and SVC
connections you will set up to use this interface will pass traffic.

Modifying IISP Interface Values
After you have configured an ATM IISP 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 ATM IISP
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 ATM IISP interface that has parameters you do
not want.
1 On the Equipment Configuration window, select the module for which
you want to replace an interface.
2 Select the port and channel for the interface you want to replace.
3 View the parameters of the interface you do not want to be sure you are
choosing the right one. See the procedure in the section, “Viewing the
Parameters for an ATM IISP Interface.”
4 Take the interface out of service. See the procedure in the section, “Tak-
ing One or More ATM IISP Interfaces out of Service.”
Note: After you perform this procedure, the traffic flow on the connec-
tion using the interface is stopped.
5 Delete the interface. See the procedure in the section, “Deleting One or
More ATM IISP Interfaces.”
Note: After you perform this procedure, the connection using the
interface is automatically deleted from the Connections database.
6 Configure a new interface. See the procedure in the section, “Configur-
ing an ATM IISP Interface.”
7 Bring the newly configured interface into service. See the procedure in
the section, “Bringing One or More ATM IISP interfaces into Service.”
Note: You now need to provision a new connection using the newly
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.)

Field Name Field Values Description
Node Index Default: 0
Range: 0–65535
Format: Numeric
Specifies an index that identifies a logical PNNI
entity within the managed system. The value 0
indicates a logical entity within the switching system that manages routes only over non-PNNI
interfaces. By default, only the node identified by
the node index is created, and all PNNI interfaces
are associated with that node; only one PNNI
node can be provisioned per switch.
Note: For the maximum and minimum VPI/VCI values below, always enter or change the
maximum value before the minimum value.
Min/Max VPI Default: 0/0
Max Limit: 255 (for
low-speed modules);
4095 (for high-speed
modules)
Range: As noted
above. VPI 0 is not
available. See Note at
right.
Format: Numeric
Specifies the lower/upper boundary of the virtual
path indicator (VPI) for SVC connections.
Note: As the PNNI signaling field is enabled by
default on this interface, VPI 0 is not available.
Min/Max VCI Default: 32/65535
Range: Min Value: 32
Max Value: 65535

Traffic Shaping Default: Disabled
Range: N/A
Format: Predefined
Indicates whether traffic shaping is used on this
interface. Traffic shaping is an input cell selection
algorithm (leaky bucket) that smooths bursts of
input traffic. This feature is available only on
these modules:
• OC-12c/STM-4c 1+1 APS/MSP
• OC-3c Multimode and Single-Mode
• STM-1 Multimode and Single-Mode
Note: This feature must be enabled if using rate
shaping on the OC-3c APS or the STM-1 MSP
modules prior to egress from an ATM trunk port.
Rate shaping is not available on the
OC-12c/STM-4c modules.
Disabled Disables the feature on this interface.
Enabled Enables the feature on this interface.
Note: Do not enable the Traffic Shaping feature
and the UPC Support feature for the same connection. Your configuration will be rejected.
UBR Load Balancing
Default: Disabled
Range: N/A
Format: Predefined
Specifies whether UBR Load Balancing is to be
used on this interface. Load balancing is performed according to traffic conditions, which
determines how the available bandwidth on individual channels is used for path and route selection. After a channel is saturated, the transmit
load is distributed (balanced) among other available links (channels) having the same origin, destination, and parameters. Channels with the
highest available bandwidth values are filled first,
followed by the lower capacity channels.
Note: Virtual interfaces do not support UBR Load
Balancing.
Disabled Disables UBR load balancing on the channels
supported by this interface.
Enabled Enables UBR load balancing on this interface.
Selecting this value includes UBR in the cps
counts of the [Egress Avail BW] field.
