PSAX 1000 Multiservice Media Gateway

Midplane

The chassis midplane distributes data, clock signals, and power to the I/O, server, and common equipment modules. The dual-bus (A/B) architecture of the midplane provides several layers of protection for system resources and functionality. In conjunction with the Stratum 3–4/Power Supply modules, this architecture provides the basic ATM concentration technologies of the PSAX 1000 system. The bus design provides approximately 630 MBps total bandwidth and allows “hot swapping” of common equipment modules, and I/O and server modules. The midplane is based entirely on switching ATM cells.

Blank Faceplates

Blank faceplates must be inserted in all empty slots for optimum EMI shield­ing and cooling. Specific blank faceplates, the LIM blank faceplate and Stratum 3–4/Power Supply module blank faceplate are available for the LIM slots and the Stratum 3–4/Power Supply slots on the rear panel. I/O and server blank faceplates are available for the front panel slots (see the

Chassis Hardware

Chapter 2 Hardware Description
PSAX 1250 Multiservice Media Gateway
Central processing unit (CPUn (n=2 or 4)) module with the appropriately
installed system software release. One is required for nonredundant opera­tion. Two are required for active/standby operation. (see your Lucent Tech­nologies account manager for ordering information)
Input/output (I/O) and server modules (see your Lucent Technologies
account manager for ordering information).
Blank faceplate modules—required for empty I/O and server slots
The PSAX 1250 system can support either one or two Stratum 3–4 modules, one or two power supply modules, and one or two CPUn modules, to obtain the desired redundancy of common system equipment.
The PSAX 1250 chassis consists of a slotted shelf, a backplane, two side pieces, and two honeycomb-patterned, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields as the top and the bottom pieces. The chassis is available in 48.26-cm (19-in.) or 58.42-cm (23-in.) widths to fit standard equipment racks or telco frames. The 23-inch chassis supports only a -48 V dc power supply (not 110/220 V ac).
For mounting in a rack or frame, the chassis is shipped with mounting angle brackets attached to the sides. These brackets can be attached at three differ­ent positions on the side pieces to mount the chassis in different horizontal positions in a rack.

Module Slot Locations

The 48.26-cm (19-in.) PSAX 1250 chassis has 16 slots; the 58.42-cm (23-in.) chassis has 20 slots. In both sizes, four slots are reserved for the optionally redundant power supplies and the optionally redundant Stratum 3–4 mod­ules. The remaining 12 or 16 slots can be filled with one or two CPUn mod­ules and various I/O and server modules, selected on the basis of access con­centration requirements.
The module slots in the PSAX 1250 system are numbered from left to right:
Slots 1 through 12 (48.26-cm/19-in. chassis) or slots 1 through 16 (58.42-
cm/23-in. chassis) are provided for the CPUn modules and the user­selected I/O and server modules
~ In the 48.26-cm (19-in.) chassis, the CPUn modules can be placed in any
~ In the 58.42-cm (23-in.) chassis, the CPUn modules can be placed in any
Slots 21 and 22 contain the Stratum 3–4 modules
Slots 23 and 24 contain the Power supply modules
unreserved (1 through 12) slot, but usually are placed in slots 11 and 12 (or just in slot 12 for a single-CPUn configuration)
unreserved (1 through 16) slot, but usually are placed in slots 15 and 16 (or just in slot 16 for a single-CPUn configuration, because I/O modules cannot be used in slot 16)

Chapter 2 Hardware Description
PSAX 1250 Multiservice Media Gateway
If redundant Stratum 3–4 and Power supply modules are not used, the slots designated for these modules must remain empty. Blank faceplates are required in all empty slots.

Backplane

The chassis backplane distributes data, clock signals, and power to the mod­ules. The dual-bus (A/B) architecture of the backplane provides several lay­ers of protection for system resources and functionality. In conjunction with the Stratum 3–4 modules, this architecture provides the basic ATM concen­tration technologies of the PSAX 1250 system. The dual-bus design provides
1.2 Gbps total bandwidth and allows live (power-supplied) insertion of pri­mary and redundant common equipment modules, and input/output and server modules. The backplane is based entirely on switching ATM cells.
Figure 2-6 shows a 48.26-cm (19-in.) PSAX 1250 chassis with no modules installed. Note the enlarged insets showing the backplane connectors for the modules at the back of the chassis and the slot numbers at the front of the chassis.

Chassis Hardware

The PSAX 2300 chassis is a dc-powered, fully redundant 19- or 23-inch rack­mountable chassis. The physical dimensions are 17.5 inches wide, 15.75 inches high, and 12 inches deep. Cable management clips add another 1.5 in. to the front front of the chassis.
The chassis includes 17 front-panel slots for input/output (I/O) and server modules for customer traffic, redundant stratum system timing, and central processing units for control and configuration. Two -48 V dc Power Supply modules reside below the cable turndown loops and air filter compartment in the middle of the chassis.

System Features

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.

System Hardware Components

The PSAX 4500 base system includes the following hardware components (see Figure 2-4):
Chassis—17.5 in. chassis with mounting brackets for 48.26 cm (19 in.) or
58.2 cm (23 in.) equipment racks (both mounting brackets are supplied)

255-700-686R10.0.0 2-15
Chapter 2 Hardware Description
PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway
The chassis includes 17 front-panel slots for input/output (I/O) and server modules for customer traffic, redundant stratum system timing, and central processing units for control and configuration. Two -48 V dc Power Supply modules reside below the cable turndown loops and air filter compartment in the middle of the chassis. The rear panel provides power and ground termi­nations for the chassis and additional module slots for future enhancements.
The chassis includes a midplane printed circuit board (PCB) designed to pro­vide an interface between the front and rear panel slots. This design supports N:1 protection for DS3, E3, and STS-1e modules while continuing to support over 30 legacy PSAX I/O and server modules.
The Power Supply and Stratum modules operate in a load-sharing mode, whereas the CPUn modules operate in an active/standby mode. All modules are hot swappable.
System level status indicators appear above the module slots to provide visual indications on the operational status of the common equipment modules. Additional status indicators also appear on the individual modules.

Module Slot Locations

Midplane

The module slots are accessible through the front and back of the chassis and provide slots for specific modules:
Front panel slots include: ~ Slots 1 through 15 are provided for I/O and server modules that pass cus-
tomer traffic.
~ Slots 16 and 17 are located on the far right side of the chassis, and are
reserved for the CPUn modules.
~ Slots A and B are located on the middle of the chassis, and are reserved
for the Stratum 3–4 modules.
~ The bottom two slots only allow the -48 V dc Power Supply module to be
installed.
Rear panel slots include: ~ Slot 14 is reserved for the PSAX 4500 Alarm module ~ Slots 3 through 12 are reserved for the LIM3–4 module
For optimum EMI shielding and proper ventilation, blank faceplate modules must be inserted into all empty slots.
The chassis midplane distributes data, clock signals, and power to the mod­ules through a dual-bus architecture. The midplane provides module inter­connections for all I/O, server, and common equipment modules through the front of the chassis.
The bus architecture is designed to be redundant. Users who want a fully redundant service must not exceed 4.8 Gbps for the chassis, and 1.2 Gbps for each midplane segment. If a Stratum module (switching fabric) were to fail or be removed, the 4.8 Gbps midplane switching would be maintained.

Chapter 2 Hardware Description
PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway
The maximum bus capacity of the system can be 9.6 Gbps in a nonredundant system configuration. When a nonprotected system is configured, both Stra­tum modules would be required to carry 4.8 Gbps each with each bus run­ning at 1.2 Gbps. If a Stratum module (switching fabric) fails in this configu­ration, a gradual degradation occurs from 9.6 Gbps to 4.8 Gbps. Using quality of service (QoS) criteria, unspecified bit rate (UBR) traffic is affected first.
The midplane has four segments (see Figure 2-10): segment 1 includes slots 1–4, segment 2 includes slots 5–8, segment 3 includes slots 9–12, and seg­ment 4 includes slots 13–17. The midplane contains two buses. This feature allows the use of high-performance, broadband modules throughout the chassis. When doing bandwidth calculations for a fully redundant architec­ture, assume that only one Stratum module is active and uses a bandwidth of
1.2 Gbps per segment.

and STRATUM SLOT 22/POWER SUPPLY SLOT 24.
STRATUM SLOT 21/POWER SUPPLY SLOT
For nonredundant operation, the Stratum 3–4/Power Supply modules must be installed in the slot labeled

the PSAX 1000 Stratum 3–4/Power Supply module blank faceplate must be installed in the slot labeled
STRATUM SLOT 22/POWER SUPPLY SLOT 24.
In the console Equipment Configuration window, the module is displayed as two modules (slots 21 and 22 for the Stratum 3–4 component and slots 23 and 24 for the Power Supply component).
Note: Lucent does not support configurations involving two different
types of power supplies being installed in the PSAX 1000 chassis.
-48 V dc Power Supply Component
The module (see Figure 2-11) converts -48 V dc power to voltages required by the system for normal operation and distributes power through the mid­plane to all of the modules in the chassis. Status indicators (indicating the operational state of the module) and fused circuit protection are also included in the design of the module. The DC power connection is located on the rear-panel of the chassis.
The chassis has two slots on the rear panel for two modules that operate in a load-sharing, one-for-one redundant mode to increase system reliability. This configuration ensures that as long as one module is active, all the modules are fully powered. In a redundant configuration, each module normally runs at one-half of its capacity. If one module fails, the other module takes over completely (when appropriate, separate independent power sources (com­mercial and backup power) of the same voltage should be used in redundant power applications).

110/220 V ac Power Supply Component
The module (see Figure 2-12) has an autosensing power supply that auto­matically allows either 110 V ac or 220 V ac power to be connected without any intervention, and converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) for the system. Power is distributed through the midplane to all of the modules in the system. Status indicators (indicating the operational state of the module) and an AC power connector (with fused circuit protection) are also included in the design of the module.
The chassis has two slots on the rear panel for two modules that operate in a load-sharing, one-for-one redundant mode to increase system reliability. This configuration ensures that as long as one module is active, all the modules are fully powered. In a redundant configuration, each module normally runs at one-half of its capacity. If one module fails, the other module takes over completely (when appropriate, separate independent power sources (com­mercial and backup power) of the same voltage should be used in redundant power applications).
Note: With this module, you must use an agency-approved shielded AC
power cordset, with a ferrite core attached, to meet emission requirements. If you do not have the appropriate cordset, contact your Lucent Technologies account manager.

Chassis Throughput Each Stratum 3–4 component supports a single bus and furnishes 600 Mbps
of ATM bandwidth. Although the system can operate with one module, two modules yield the maximum system throughput of 1.2 Gbps and offer redun­dancy to protect service in case one module fails. With both modules in ser­vice, the I/O modules use both midplane buses. If one module fails, all the I/O modules use the bus from the remaining module, but system throughput is reduced by half, that is, to 600 Mbps.
Timing Control The module provides the following timing modes: ANSI or ITU composite
clock (64 kHz), T1BITS (1.55 MHz) or E1ETSI (2.048 MHz) external timing, line timing, and Stratum 3+ internal freerun timing. With the ability to accept a timing reference from a variety of interfaces at low transmission rates, the system provides the network with a reliable transport and access infrastructure.
The module supports a primary (active) timing source and a secondary (backup) timing source based on any of the timing modes and automatically switches from primary to secondary in the event the primary source fails due to clock loss or excessive frequency offset conditions. When both primary and secondary references (composite clock, BITS, or line timing modes) fail due to clock loss or excessive frequency offset, the module enters a holdover or freerun mode to maintain synchronization. If the external source does not return to normal operation after the module enters the holdover mode, the module will enter the Freerun mode.
The internal timing source of the module meets Stratum 3+ requirements as specified in the GR-1244-CORE and ITU-T G.813 Option I standards. The timing source allows the system to operate after losing external synchroniza­tion for as long as 24 hours without synchronization problems.

Redundant System Timing
Timing Source Failures
Two Stratum 3–4 modules are supported as two independent synchroniza­tion sources in a redundant configuration. Each module operates indepen­dently such that any one module can provide the system timing in the event the other one malfunctions or is removed. The modules are provisioned through the user interfaces (console and EMS-PSAX).
Switching between the modules is nonrevertive. All provisioned references on both primary and secondary modules are continuously monitored for fail­ures. The composite clock is considered failed based on:
Incorrect bipolar violation density that departs from the 1-in-8 pattern
Loss of signal
Out of frequency range
The BITS clock is considered failed based on:
Loss of signal
Loss of frame
Line AIS
Out of frequency range
A switch between timing references occurs no later than the declaration of the failure. The module automatically recovers from holdover (or internal freerun timing) to its original reference or secondary input port when a suit­able reference signal is available.
Chassis Temperature Control
The module monitors the output air temperature of the chassis in conjunc­tion with the PSAX 1000 Fan/Alarm module temperature sensor to maintain a consistent temperature inside the chassis. Refer to “PSAX Alarm Modules” on page 2-41 for additional information on how the PSAX 1000 Fan/Alarm module and the PSAX 1000 Stratum 3–4/Power Supply module regulate the chassis temperature.

PSAX 1250 Power Supply Modules
Three types of power supply modules are available for the PSAX 1250:
110 V ac Power Supply module (supports only the 19-inch chassis)
220 V ac Power Supply module (supports only the 19-inch chassis)
-48 V dc Power Supply module (supports both chassis)
The Power Supply modules (see Figure 2-14) distribute power to the back­plane and all of the modules in the chassis. Slots 23 and 24 are reserved for the Power Supply modules. Each module includes status indicators and a power connection. The -48 V dc Power Supply module includes inline circuit protection on the faceplate. When using the AC Power Supply modules, cir­cuit protection must be supplied by the customer.
Note: In order to use the 220 V ac Power Supply module, you must order
a suitable AC power cordset for use in your geographic location. For your convenience, Lucent Technologies has made a variety of international cordsets available for ordering. See your Lucent Tech­nologies account manager for ordering details.
In a redundant configuration, two power supply modules operate in a load­sharing mode to increase system reliability. This configuration ensures that as long as one power supply module is active, all other modules are fully pow­ered. When two power supply modules are installed, each normally runs at one-half of its capacity. If one fails, the other Power Supply module takes over completely.
Note: A single 110 or 220 V ac power supply module may not fully
power the chassis, depending on which I/O modules are being used.
When the PSAX 1250 chassis is configured to operate in a -48 V dc environ­ment, the -48 V dc power is supplied through the PSAX 1250 Fan Tray power supply cabling.

PSAX 2300/PSAX 4500 Power Supply Module
Functional Desciption Two -48 V dc Power Supply modules (see Figure 2-15) converts -48 V dc
power to voltages required by the chassis for normal operation and distrib­utes power through the midplane to all of the modules in the chassis. The modules are installed side-by-side below the cable turndown loops and air filter compartment. Each module includes a variable-speed fan for power supply and module cooling, status indicators, power connection to distribute power to the midplane, and inline circuit protection. Facility power and frame ground are connected to the chassis through the rear-panel connec­tions.
The modules operate in a load-sharing mode to increase system reliability. This configuration ensures that as long as one Power Supply module is active, the entire system is fully powered. Under normal operation, each module operates at one-half of its capacity. If one Power Supply module fails, the other module takes over completely.
The variable-speed fans are controlled through the Stratum modules. The Stratum modules sense the chassis temperature and change the fan speed to maintain air flow and temperature through the chassis. The fan speed also increases when the other fan stops operating due to failure or removal.
Circuit protection is provided through two fuses (one for the -48 V dc side and one for the return side) located on the faceplate of the module.
Three LED indicators on the faceplate indicate the operational state of the module.

255-700-686R10.0.0 2-29
The Stratum 3–4 module (see Figure 2-16) provides synchronization and monitoring for the PSAX 1250 system. This module supports the backplane bus and furnishes 600 Mbps of ATM bandwidth. In addition, the PSAX 1250 system can obtain network clock synchronization through the backplane from any of its I/O modules, external clock sources, or internal clock source.
With the ability to accept a timing reference from any physical interface at low transmission rates, the system provides the network with a reliable transport and access infrastructure. The Stratum 3–4 clock timing is accurate to Stratum 3 requirements, allowing the PSAX 1250 system to run freely, even after losing external synchronization, for as long as 24 hours without synchronization problems.
Chapter 2 Hardware Description
Common Equipment Modules
The Stratum 3–4 module is ITU-compliant and ANSI-compliant. The Stratum 3–4 module provide synchronization and common equipment monitoring for the PSAX 1250 system. Each Stratum 3–4 module supports a single bus and furnishes 600 Mbps of ATM bandwidth. Although the system can oper­ate with one Stratum 3–4 module, two (in slots 21 and 22) yield the maxi­mum system throughput of 1.2 Gbps and offer redundancy to protect service in case one module fails. With both Stratum 3–4 modules in service, the I/O modules use both backplane buses. If one Stratum 3–4 module fails, all the I/O modules use the bus from the remaining Stratum 3–4 module, but sys­tem throughput is reduced by half, that is, to 600 Mbps.
The faceplate of the Stratum 3–4 module has four LED indicators that pro­vide operational status of the module.

PSAX 2300 Stratum 3–4 Module
Functional Description
The PSAX 2300 Stratum 3–4 module provides the following features:
System level transmit timing (freerun, line timing, holdover, internal or
external sources)
Miscellaneous system control and monitoring
Backplane timing and cell switching
System redundancy
This module clocks traffic between three backplane segments at a switching capacity of up to 1.9 Gbps in a nonredundant configuration.
The PSAX 2300 Stratum 3–4 ANSI-compliant module provides synchroniza­tion and common equipment monitoring for the PSAX 2300 system. While fulfilling the normal clock-timing role, the module also serves as a switch, connecting Stratum A to bus A and Stratum B to bus B on each of the three segments of the backplane. Therefore, each module supports one of the two buses that exists on each of the three segments. Given that a single bus seg­ment operates at approximately 650 Mbps, then the aggregate for the three segments can be up to 1.95 Mbps. Although the system can operate with one active module, two modules provide the maximum of 3.9 Gbps of ATM bandwidth, and offer redundancy to protect service in case one module fails. With both modules in service, the installed PSAX I/O modules use all buses. If one module fails, all the I/O modules in the system use the bus from the remaining Stratum 3–4 module, and system throughput is reduced by half.
With the ability to accept a timing reference from any physical interface at low transmission rates, the PSAX 2300 system provides the network with a reliable transport and access infrastructure. The Stratum 3–4 module is accu­rate to Stratum 3 requirements, allowing the PSAX 2300 system to run freely even if the module loses external timing for as long as 24 hours, without syn­chronization problems.
The faceplate of the Stratum 3–4 module has four LED indicators that pro­vide operational status of the module.

Timing Control The module provides the following timing modes: ANSI or ITU composite
clock (64 kHz), T1BITS (1.55 MHz) or E1ETSI (2.048 MHz) external timing, line timing, and Stratum 3+ internal freerun timing. With the ability to accept a timing reference from a variety of interfaces at low transmission rates, the system provides the network with a reliable transport and access infrastructure.
The module supports a primary (active) timing source and a secondary (backup) timing source based on any of the timing modes and automatically switches from primary to secondary in the event the primary source fails due to clock loss or excessive frequency offset conditions. When both primary and secondary references (composite clock, BITS, or line timing modes) fail due to clock loss or excessive frequency offset, the module enters a holdover or freerun mode to maintain synchronization. If the external source does not return to normal operation after the module enters the holdover mode, the module will enter the Freerun mode.
The internal timing source of the module meets Stratum 3+ requirements as specified in the GR-1244-CORE and ITU-T G.813 Option I standards. The timing source allows the system to operate after losing external synchroniza­tion for as long as 24 hours without synchronization problems.
The module accepts the following external timing sources:

Two Stratum 3–4 modules are supported as two independent synchroniza­tion sources in a redundant configuration. Each module operates indepen­dently such that any one module can provide the system timing in the event the other one malfunctions or is removed. The modules are provisioned through the user interfaces (console and EMS-PSAX).
Switching between the modules is nonrevertive. All provisioned references on both primary and secondary modules are continuously monitored for fail­ures. The composite clock is considered failed based on:
Incorrect bipolar violation density that departs from the 1-in-8 pattern
Loss of signal
Out of frequency range
System Control and Monitoring
The BITS clock is considered failed based on:
Loss of signal
Loss of frame
Line AIS
Out of frequency range
A switch between timing references occurs no later than the declaration of the failure. The module automatically recovers from holdover (or internal freerun timing) to its original reference or secondary input port when a suit­able reference signal is available.
The PSAX Stratum 3–4 module monitors and reports a number of conditions related to the operation of the chassis and common equipment modules through the status indicators on the front panel of the chassis and the CPUn module.
The reported conditions include the following categories:
Minor alarms include the loss or failure of one of the clock inputs.
Major alarms include: ~ Failure of one of the Stratum modules ~ Failure of one of the Power Supply modules ~ Failure of one of the CPUn modules ~ Failure of one of the fans ~ Loss of all clock inputs
Critical alarms include:

255-700-686R10.0.0 2-35
Chapter 2 Hardware Description
Common Equipment Modules
~ Failure of both Stratum modules ~ Failure of both fans (exception - system shutdown)
The following information is reported through the console, Telnet, or EMS:
Stratum Mode (normal, holdover, or internal freerun timing)
Timing Mode (external, internal, or line timing)
Time of most recent reference switch
Input reference source currently in use
Stratum module that is currently in use
Condition of input reference source (normal, LOF, OOF, etc.)
If the module enters internal freerun timing because of excessive frequency offset on all references, an alarm is generated. This alarm states the cause as excessive frequency offset on all references.
The Stratum 3–4 module also monitors the internal chassis temperature and controls air flow by changing the speed of the -48 V dc Power Supply module fans.
Midplane Switching The chassis can be used in a variety of configurations, but not all configura-
tions are optimal because of its partially blocking switch architecture. For most configurations, the location of the I/O modules is not relevant because they do not consume all of the available bandwidth. However, in high perfor­mance systems (using multiple OC-3c or OC-12c modules) the knowledge of traffic flow can be helpful in getting the maximum bandwidth performance out of the chassis. The speed of the individual bus segments is relevant when determining maximum bandwidth. Since the chassis is scalable, the exact speed is determined by the mix of modules in each segment. Low-speed modules, like the 6-Port DS1 IMA module or 1-Port Channelized DS3 Multi­service module, run at 600 Mbps, and high-speed modules, like the 3-Port Channelized DS3/STS-1e CES module or 1-Port OC-12c/STM-4c 1+1 APS/MSP Multimode module, run at 1.2 Gbps. Because of the bi-directional nature of the ATM buses used in the chassis, no more than half the band­width should be used from one bus to another to allow for return traffic.
While fulfilling the normal clock-timing role, the Stratum 3–4 module also serves as a cell switcher between the four segments of the midplane and two hyper-speed SERDES-capable modules as shown in Figure 2-18.

The chassis has four sets of buses, supporting slots 1–4, 5–8, 9–12, and 13–17 respectively. This allows for the use of high performance, broadband modules on either side of the chassis.
The only applicable rules for installing modules include:
Do not mix high-speed modules with low-speed modules unless you are out of slots. The segments only operate at the low-speed rate when the modules are mixed.
Do not allow more than half the bus bandwidth to cross from one segment to another unless you want to run without full redundancy. If your band­width is mostly CBR this should not be done.
SERDES-capable modules should always be installed in slots 1 and 2 and are equivalent to high-speed modules.

The module uses individual slot-based routing and queuing to minimize blocking and to facilitate congestion control. By separating the traffic flow into individual slot-based queues within the module (total of 47 queues), the chassis is able to best determine which cells to send on a segment in order to avoid congestion. Potential congestion is signaled backward (back pressured) to specific modules sending high-speed data to reduce the impact on block­ing. Each queue inside the module is 9 cells deep. Each destination slot has 3 queues per plane associated with it: one from each of the 3 segments. There are two more queues for message and control traffic. The 17 slots are divided into four segments, segment 1 includes slots 1–4, segment 2 includes slots 5–8, segment 3 includes slots 9–12, and segment 4 includes slots 13–17.
System Redundancy The chassis supports redundant common equipment modules, including
CPUn modules, Stratum 3–4 modules, and Power Supply modules. Under normal conditions both Stratum modules share the load of controlling mid­plane data flow. One module is configured as the primary timing, system control, and monitor module, the other module is configured as the second­ary or backup module.

Functional Description
Operating in a non-load sharing, primary/standby mode, the CPU3 module (see Figure 2-20) provides the processing, switching, and storage functions for the PSAX 1000 system. With a RISC-based microprocessor, the module has the processing power to maintain data flow, perform numerical calcula­tions, and manage PSAX 1000 provisioning functions. The module has a 256 MB compact flash system disk and 256 MB of SDRAM to support routing and signaling functions, forward error correction, processing of SVC connec­tions, and management of network capabilities.
In a redundant configuration, when upgrading or removing the active mod­ule, the standby (backup) module becomes the active module, and the origi­nal active module becomes the standby module. This switchover is designed to minimize the time the equipment is down for maintenance.
The standby module supports complete console and SNMP interfaces, in the same way the active module supports them, except that the standby module does not allow any settings to be modified.
The module also provides a serial console port and two 10/100BASE-T Ether­net ports. The
ETHERNET1 port provides direct access to the CPU3 module to
configure and monitor the operation of the PSAX 1000 system. The
ETHERNET2 port provides an Ethernet bridge connection to an ATM connec-
tion (PVC VCC) for bidirectional communication from a local laptop to the network. The port is enabled through the Feature Turn ON/OFF Table (Cpu­Bridge) and configured through the PVC Connection Configuration Menu > Cpu Ether Bridge VCC > Cpu Ethernet Bridge PVC Table.

Slot 14 in the front panel of the PSAX 4500 system
The PSAX 4500 Alarm module is only installed in slot 14 of the PSAX 4500 rear panel. Do not attempt to install the Alarm module (model 20N79) in slot 14 on the front panel when the PSAX 4500 Alarm module is installed. Any PSAX I/O module, except the Alarm module (model 20N79), can be inserted in slot 14 opposite the rear-mounted PSAX 4500 Alarm module without impacting traffic.
!
WARNING:
Do not attempt to use the PSAX 4500 Alarm module (model 45N79) and Alarm module (model 20N79) in the PSAX 4500 chassis at the same time. Unpredictable results and damage to the modules will occur.
Functional Description
Unless otherwise indicated, the PSAX Alarm modules function as follows:
The PSAX 1000 Fan/Alarm module (see Figure 2-21) provides forced-air cooling, air filtration, external dry relay contact monitoring sensors, visible and audible CO alarm activation, and operational and alarm status indica­tions for the PSAX 1000 chassis.

Figure 2-21. PSAX 1000 Fan/Alarm Module

The PSAX 4500 Alarm module (see Figure 2-22) provides two connectors that allow for connections with external facility sensor inputs (doors, tem­perature, and so on), chassis alarm outputs (visible and audible), external device controls (cooling, heating, doors, and so on), and audible alarm cutoff controls (see Figure 2-23). In addition, the CPUn module generates trap mes­sages that reflect state changes of the PSAX 4500 Alarm module’s sensor inputs, control outputs, and alarm cutoff control.

Figure 2-23. Example Configuration with the PSAX 4500 Alarm Module

The PSAX 4500 Alarm module is functionally identical to the Alarm module (model 20N79), but the module is designed to be mounted only in the rear panel (slot
14) of the PSAX 4500 chassis. This enables you to make maximum
use of the front panel I/O slots. The module uses midplane bus traces that do not impact midplane bus utilization calculations.

PSAX 4500
Generating Central Office Alarms
COs and remote switch rooms have alarm panels with bells and lights that report on the status of the equipment in the facility. The module provides an interface with these alarm panels by generating alarms that indicate the chas­sis has failed in some fashion.
Alarms are generated from several sources from within the chassis and reported to the CPUn module. Upon receipt of an alarm, the CPUn module sends a status message to the module, which generates the appropriate alarm, depending on the severity of the alarm (see “Alarm Outputs” on page 2-45). The module then alerts the technician of the problem through
®
the alarm panels and sends a trap message to the NOC (see PacketStar
PSAX
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Trap Reference Guide).
Figure 2-24 provides an example of a sequence of events that would cause the module to generate an alarm:
1. The Stratum 3–4 module fails and a minor alarm message is sent to the module.
2. The module
MINOR alarm LED and CO Minor alarm lamp light, and the
Minor alarm bell rings.
3. The technician locates the malfunctioning system and presses the mod-

Alarm Outputs Alarm Severity Levels
The Alarm, PSAX 4500 Alarm, and Fan/Alarm modules provide three sever­ity levels of alarms—Critical, Major, and Minor—as reported by the following devices:
The Alarm module provides three severity levels of alarms—Critical, Major, and Minor—as reported by the LEDs on the module faceplate and through relay contact closures to activate external audible and visible devices in the CO or NOC. The PSAX 4500 Alarm module provides three severity levels of alarms—Critical, Major, and Minor—as reported by the LEDs on the module faceplate, chassis front panel, and through relay contact closures to activate external audible and visible devices in the CO or NOC. Visible alarms assist in identifying and locating the particular chassis that is in an alarm condition by activating the equipment bay alarm lights and chassis alarm indicators. Audi­ble alarms also occur when an alarm condition exists in the CO or switch room.
Alarms reported at each of the three severity levels—Critical, Major, and Minor—are interdependent. If a higher severity alarm condition occurs (such as Critical—during the presence of a lower severity alarm (such as Minor), the Critical alarms (LEDs, visible, and audible) are activated and the Minor alarms are temporarily deactivated. Once the condition causing the higher severity alarm is cleared, the Critical alarms are deactivated, or cleared, and the Minor alarms are reactivated (if applicable).

Stratum 3–4 component
Loss of signal or frame from a primary or secondary timing source when
line timing is configured on the Stratum 3–4/Power Supply module, Stratum 3–4 component
Alarm Relay Operation
When more than one of the above conditions occurs in more than one category, the highest severity alarm determines which LED illuminates.
Note: For the Alarm and PSAX 4500 Alarm modules, output contact clo-
sures are not supported for a non-redundant Stratum 3–4 module configuration as this results in a permanent Minor alarm. For the Fan/Alarm module, output contact closures are not supported for a non-redundant Stratum 3–4/Power Supply module configuration as this results in a permanent Minor alarm.
For the Alarm and PSAX 4500 Alarm modules, the activation of the external alarms in the CO is controlled through six relays (three for visible alarms and three for audible alarms) with Form 1-C contacts (see Figure 2-25). The con­tacts—normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common (COM)—are accessible through the
ALARM connector.

To allow flexibility in connecting the module to the external alarm panel:
The Major and Minor alarm relays are energized only when an appropriate
alarm condition occurs.
The Critical alarm relays are normally energized when no alarms are
reported. When a Critical alarm is reported or power fails, the relays are de-energized, causing contacts to change positions and in turn causing the CO alarms to be activated.
Figure 2-27 illustrates how the Alarm modules might be connected to a CO alarm panel.
Diagram A shows an unalarmed condition.
Diagram B shows an alarmed condition.

Figure 2-27. Generating Alarms

The alarm cutoff (ACO) function provides a method of silencing the audible alarms caused by an alarm condition being reported by the chassis; it has no effect on the visible alarms activated by the module. The alarm cutoff is con­trolled through the device (connected through the
ACO switch on the module and from a remote ACO
ALARM connector). A remote ACO device
could be a switch, relay contacts, or software command.
When an audible alarm occurs, pressing the module ACO switch or activating the remote ACO device once performs the following functions:
Silences the audible alarms, but does not clear the alarm condition
Illuminates the yellow
ACO LED on the module
Reports the change in state to the CPUn module
Pressing the module
ACO switch or deactivating the remote ACO device a
second time performs the following functions:
Reestablishes the audible alarm functionality
Extinguishes the yellow
ACO LED on the module
