Safety Warnings and Information

Warr anty 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.

2 Module Description

Overview of the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station Module

The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module provides support for the station (telephone set) end of a two-wire analog telephone line. A telephone or other analog voice device can be connected directly to this module in the Multiservice Media Gateway system over an ATM network. The coding translation supported by this module is Mu Law to Mu 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 that illuminates when the port goes off-hook. It also flashes in synchronization with an incoming ringing signal to the port.

Chapter 2 Module Description

Software Features

The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module can be used to establish a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on a voice circuit that originates on the same module. This module also provides private-line automatic ring-down (PLAR) service for the PVC. PLAR provides a point-to-point private line between two telephone sets. If either station goes off-hook, the other one automatically rings. The ringing will stop when the called station goes off-hook or the calling station goes back on-hook. The PLAR service provides 20-Hz ring-down, loopstart supervision, and no signalling. The module also supports FXS service via a PVC connection with a 4-Port Voice 2-W ire Office module. This connection enables a foreign exchange (FXO) voice service to be transmitted across an ATM network. With FXO service, the voice switch provides dial tone, ringing, and digit translation, which are not provided by the ATM network.

Module Placement Requirements

You may install the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station in any I/O slot of any PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway chassis intended to contain I/O or server modules. In typical applications, this module is used with the 4-Port 2-Wire Office module (see the appropriate module guide for other configuration constraints).

Hardware Features

The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module supports these hardware features:

• Number of ports: 8

• Connector type: RJ-11

• Ringing frequency: 20 Hz

• Termination impedance: 600 Ohms

• Signal in g: n on e

• Supervision: loop start

General Hardware Features

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 or location loses power or your current session ends abnormally while you are in the process of configuring the system, and you have not yet saved the values permanently , you will lose all unsaved values you have applied on the various windows.

Interface Types by I/O Module Types table in the appendix, “Reference Information.”

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 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).

• Entering field values that are outside of the configurable range of values

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

been configured

• Attempting to configure an interface that is already in service (must be out of service to be configured or change field values)

• Entering field values that are not recognized by the PSAX system software

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.

2 Select the port and channel for the interface you want to replace.

Quality of Service (QOS) Tables

Table B-8. PSAX System-Supported Quality of Service Classes

ATM Service Class Description

Constant Bit Rate (CBR) This service o perates on a connection basis and offers consis tent delay

predictability. CBR is used for applications such as circuit emulation, voice, and video.

Variable Bit Rate—Real Time (VBR-RT)

This service operates on a connection basis and offers very low delay variance but requires access to a variable amount of network bandwidth. VBR-RT is used for such applications as packet video and voice.

Variable Bit Rate—Nonreal Time (VBR-NRT)

This service operates on both a connection and connectionless basis and allows delay variance between the delivery of cells. VBR-NRT is used for data applications that have potentially bursty traffic characteristics, including LAN interconnections, CAD/CAM, and multimedia. This class can be used to support switched multimegabit data service (SMDS).

Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR) This service operates on a connection basis and allows for raw cell or

best-effort transport by the network. In UBR service, cells are transported by the network whenever bandwidth is available and traffic is presented by the user. Data using UBR service is more apt to be discarded during peak traffic times in deference to data using other classes of service.

Table B-9 illustrates the attributes of the classes of service supported by the PSAX system software.

The following tables illustrate how ATM classes of service correspond to internal priority levels as the AQueMan algorithm functions. Table B-10 identifies the cell loss and cell delay tolerance of each service class, with internal priorities. Table B-11 lists the class-of-service choices available when configuring PVC connections on a PSAX system and shows service examples for each PVC connection type. The service examples in Table B-11 are intended simply as illustrations and you should choose your service class

AAL1 ATM adaptation layer type 1. This layer supports Class A traffic (uncompressed, digitized voice and video).

AAL2 ATM ad aptation layer type 2. This layer supports Class B traffic (variable bit rate compressed vo ice and video).

AAL2 trunking A multiplexed connection established between two switching systems that supports Class B traffic (AAL2).

circuit emulation. A connection over a virtual channel-based network which provides service that is indistinguishable from a real, point-to-point, fixed bandwidth circuit.

DSP digital signal processor. A specialized digital microprocessor that performs algorithms on digitized signals that were originally analog (for example, voice). The algorithms compress voice and video, remove silence instances, cancel echo, and perform other call process monitoring functions.

echo cancellation A method of controlling speaker echo on long haul digital trunks. An echo cancellation system monitors the transmitted signa l, digita lly pred icts the e cho, then ca ncels it by s ubtract ing the pred iction from the received signal.

Glossary

FSK frequency shift keying. A modulation technique for data transmission that shifts the frequency above the carrier for a 1 and below the carrier for a 0.

fax demodulation/remodulation A technique for taking a Group III fax signal and converting it from, or back to, its original 9.6 Kbps. For example, when a fax is inserted into a fax machine, the fax machine scans it to digital bits -- a stream of 9600 bps. Then, for transmission over phone lines, the 9.6 Kbps is converted into an analog signal. If you want to transmit the fax signal over a digital line, you must convert it back to its original 9.6 Kbps. By doing this, you can put several fax transmissions on one 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps line -- the capacity you would normally need if you transmitted one voice conversation, or one analog fax transmission.

multiplexing The process of transmitting several signals over a single communications channel.

tails An echo cancellation term. The tail, measured in milliseconds, is the amount of your conversation which returns to you in echo.

tone detection A signal provided by a network or modem. When a CO detects this signal, the transmission is sent through the network to an active call center.

voice compression The process of reducing a voice signal to use less bandwidth during transmission to obtain a channel of 32 Kbps or fewer, currently to under 10 Kbps.
