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.

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

PSAX 12-Port Medium-Density DS1/E1/DS0A CES Module User Guide (DS0A Mode), 255-700-378.

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

plug, a Cinch

p/n 57-30500-4, 180

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).

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.

Begin

1 On the Equipment Configuration window, select the module for which

you want to replace an interface.
