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.

media gateway for the central office or for a large enterprise customer, the
PSAX 2300 system provides network access for time-division multiplex
voice, frame relay, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and ATM data applications.
When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experienced a single-point failure, the PSAX 2300 system provides up to 1.9 Gbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 1.9 Gbps.
Supporting 15 slots for I/O and server modules—with provisions for OC-3,
OC-3c/STM-1, and OC-12c/STM-4c interfaces, N x T1/E1 module protection
switching, and a full range of interfaces such as DS0A, DS1/E1, DS3/E3,
10/100Base-T Ethernet, and serial—the PSAX 2300 system solves demanding and diverse network design challenges with ease.
PSAX 4500 Multis ervice Media Gateway
The PacketStar PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway provides carrier-class
reliability, with an unmatched range of service capabilities, end-to-end traffic
prioritization, “any-service, any-channel” flexibility, and breakthrough voice
technology. Ideal for the central office or a large enterprise multiservice
media gateway, the PSAX 4500 system provides highly reliable network
access for time-division multiplex voice, frame relay, 10/100Base-T Ethernet,
and ATM data applications.
When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experienced a single-point failure, the PSAX 4500 system provides up to 4.2 Gbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 4.2 Gbps.
The high-performance midplane design supports 15 interface slots. Module
protection for two groups of four or six multiport DS3, STS-1e, or E3 modules is provided via an N:1 protection scheme using rear access line interface
modules. The protection module provides backup so that on the failure of
any one of the modules in a group, traffic is maintained. A single PSAX 4500
system at the edge of the carrier network can transition traffic from a large
number of network customers over high-speed DS1/E1 IMA, DS3/E3, OC-3,
OC-3c/STM-4c, and OC-12c/STM-4c trunks into the ATM core, managing
the whole quickly and efficiently, down to the individual permanent virtual
circuit.
Through the use of the latest DSP voice technology, the PSAX 4500 system
supports advanced voice traffic over ATM (VToA) services for up to 6048 DS0
channels. As a multiservice media gateway—with H.248 call control, CAS,
PRI, GR-303, and V5.2 protocols, 3-Port DS3/STS-1e, 1-Port OC-3/STM-1
CES, and Tones and Announcements modules—the PSAX 4500 system provides packet solutions for voice over xDSL, trunking, tandem, and PRI offload
switching.

2 Module Description
Overview of This Module
The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES module (Figure 2-1) provides DS1 circuit emulation services, including a new Nx64 Kbps CAS mode
to support channelized AAL1 tariff services. It also provides a line rate of
1.544 Mbps per DS1 port. Each port can be independently configured to pro-
vide Nx64 Kbps (fractional T1) structured, channelized and unchannelized
circuit emulation service (CES) with Nx64 Kbps CAS,integrated services digital network with a primary rate interface (ISDN PRI) service, and unstructured CES. For a description of the 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A
CES module when it is configured in the DS0A mode, see the PacketStar

When configured for DS1 circuit emulation service, the module interfaces
with TDM channelized DS1 circuits. It converts channelized data (usually
voice data) to ATM virtual channels. By using structured (channelized) circuit emulation, this module can adapt a maximum of 24 DS0 channels per
port to ATM virtual channels with individual VPIs and VCIs. Signaling bit
transport is also provided, based on ATM Forum standards for CAS.With the
Nx64 Kbps clear channel capability, this module can connect to a device
using an 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.
Connection Options
The 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES module connects to user
equipment via a shielded 10-foot Lucent cable assembly (COMCODE
300468030) and a PSAX patch panel. An equivalent shielded cable with an
RJ-48H connector (for example, a Cinch p/n 57-10500-7, 90
o
plug, a Cinch
p/n 57-30500-4, 180
o
plug, a Cinch p/n 57-10500-271, 270o plug, or equivalent) on one end may also be used. Cable connector screws and cable tie
wraps are provided in a kit with the module. See Figure 2-2 for an illustration of this connection.
The Lucent cable is used to connect the module to one of the following patch
panels:
• 12-Port BNC Patch Panel (COMCODE 300298569)
(E1 mode only)
• 24-Port RJ Patch Panel (COMCODE 300298551)
• 48-Port RJ Patch Panel (COMCODE 300298544).
Note: The Telco connector on this module is not the same as the Mini-
Champ connector on the 12-Port Medium-Density DS1 Multiservice module and the 12-Port Medium-Density DS1 IMA module.
