Regulatory Standards Compliance

Warr anty Warnings

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.

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 Multiservice Media Gateway system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and allows the Multiservice Media Gateway system to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the module that is inserted.

Shipping the chassis with removable 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 could void your warranty. Only Lucentauthorized personnel should ship the Multiservice Media Gateway chassis with a module installed.

Canadian Regulatory Statements

CS-03 Issue 8 The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification

means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications netwo rk protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, the user should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed by using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions might give the telecommunications company caus e to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

For their own protection, users should ensure that the ground connections of the power utility , telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to the Voice 2-Wire Office module denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop, which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the REN of all devices does not exceed 5.

PacketStar® PSAX 6-Port DS1 IMA Module User Guide, Issue1 Release7.0 vi 255-700-166

Regulatory Statements

The REN for the Voice 2-Wire Office module when used in the PSAX system is 0.7B.

SH-03 Version 8 Le label Industrie Canada permet de reconnaître les équipements

homologués. Cette homologation indique que l’équipement satisfait certaines règles de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère de l’Industrie ne garantit pas que l’équipement fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer cet équipement, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le connecter aux installations de la compagnie de télécommunications locale. L’équipement doit également être connecté suivant une méthode convenable. Dans certains cas, il sera nécessaire de prolonger le câblage intérieur de la ligne d’abonné de la compagnie au moyen d’un connecteur homologué (rallonge de téléphone). L’abonné doit savoir que, dans certaines situations, la conformité aux dispositions ci-dessus ne prévient pas nécessairement la dégradation du service.

La réparation de certains équipements homologués doit être assurée par un atelier agréé désigné par le fournisseur. Toute réparation ou altération effectuée par l’utilisateur ou tout mauvais fonctionnement de cet équipement peut donner à la compagnie de téléphone des raisons de demander audit utilisateur de déconnecter celui-ci.

Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent veiller à ce que les mises à la terre de l’alimentation secteur, des lignes téléphoniques et du système intérieur de conduites d’eau métalliques soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution peut s’avérer particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales.

CAUTION:

Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas tenter d’effectuer eux-mêmes ces raccordements, mais doivent prendre contact avec un électricien ou organisme de vérification compétent.

Le nombre équivalent de sonnerie (REN) attribué au module central bifilaire (Voice 2-Wire Office) correspond au pourcentage de la charge totale à connecter à un circuit téléphonique bifilaire; il est utilisé par l’appareil pour prévenir la surc harge. Le circuit peut être terminé par n’importe quelle combinaison d’appareils, à la seule condition que le total des REN de ces derniers ne dépasse pas cinq.

Lorsqu’il est utilisé dans le système PSAX, le module central bifilaire possède un REN de 0,7 B.

Electroststic Discha rge Precautions

Electroststic Discharge Precautions

The room where the Multiservice Media Gateway system is located must have built-in precautions to provide protection from electrostatic discharge damage to electronic components. The following sections provide details on these necessary precautions.

Grounding Wrist Straps

Attach at least one grounding wrist strap to a common ground for each chassis/electronic rack to be handled. Follow these guidelines for wrist straps:

• Make sure the wrist straps or wrist strap cords have built-in 1-megaohm (minimum) resistance.

• Make sure the wrist straps and wrist strap cords are UL listed.

• Ensure the wrist strap cord is long enough so it can be worn while

working either at the front or the back of the rack.

• Always discharge any static charge by touching your wrist strap before you touch the Multiservice Media Gateway chassis.

Floor Covering

Be sure the room has an antistatic floor covering (conductive mat, tiles, or carpeting) to minimize static charge buildup as you walk across the room. Follow these guidelines for installing and maintaining proper floor coverings:

• Using foot grounding straps (attached to the heels of your shoes) is recommended, even if you are walking in rooms with antistatic floor covering. Thes e straps provide additional protection against electrostati c discharge. The straps should have built-in 1-megaohm (minimum) resistance.

• Wool carpet is not an acceptable floor covering.

• Other types of carpet must be sprayed daily with a topical antistatic

chemical before you perform any work in the room. Paying constant attention to carpet maintenance is time-consuming but required, if used.

Temperature and Humidity

Establishing the proper temperature and humidity in the room where the Multiservice Media Gateway system is located helps control many static discharge problems. Maintaining proper room climate is especially important when heat is turned on during the cold weather. To avoid damage to the Multiservice Media Gateway system, do not allow the humidity to increase to the level where water droplets appear on surfaces.

• Do not remove the chassis, modules, and other items from their protective packaging until you are ready to install them.

• When installing modules and components, use a grounding wrist strap connected to a common electrical ground to prevent electrost atic discharge damage. (A common electrical ground is a complete circuit between a person or an electrical/electr onic device and the earth.)

• Store components in electrostatic-discharge-protective bags when they are not in use.

Overview of This Module

The 6-Port DS1 IMA module (see Figure 2-1) has six physical RJ-45 ports. Inverse multiplexing over ATM permits a user to strap two to six of the physical ports together to create ATM interfaces that support 3–9 Mbps of bandwidth. A maximum of three IMA groups may be configured per module.

Source data enters the module from the backplane and is divided between the ports within the IMA group specified in the virtual circuit connection. The data leaves the front of the module and is transported across individual T1 lines. At the destination IMA module, the T1 streams are merged back together in correct order and passed on to other modules as directed by virtual circuit connections. IMA dynamically handles conditions when T1s within an IMA group become unavailable: the IMA "pipe" shrinks in bandwidth to the remaining T1s and continues to pass traffic. When a problem T1 comes back on line, the IMA "pipe" will enlarge to take full advantage of the restored bandwidth.

3 Configuring Ports and Channels

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes how to set the values for the port and channel configuration for the 6-Port DS1 IMA module using the PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway system console interface.

Before You Begin

Be sure to complete the following actions first before configuring the 6-Port DS1 IMA module:

• Configure your basic system (see "Configuring the System for Your Site" in Chapter 4 of the appropriate PacketStar Gateway user guide)

Using the Console

PSAX Multiservice Media

• Configure the Stratum 3–4 module (see "Configuring the Stratum 3–4 Module" in Chapter 4 of the appropriate PacketStar Media Gateway user guide)

When configuring the 6-Port DS1 IMA module using the PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway console, display-only fields are displayed with brackets.

The status line at the bottom of the console window gives instructions for the field currently sel ect ed, and d i spl ays t rap me ssag es (s ee the ap p endi x of your chassis user guide for a table of defined trap messages).

The configuration of the 6-Port DS1 IMA module involves the following major tasks:

1. Each port must be configured with the I MA interface, and that IMA interface must be brought into service.

2. Each IMA group must be established.

3. Each IMA group must be configured with an ATM interface (IISP, UNI, or PNNI).

CAUTION:

When using a DSP2A, DSP2B, DSP2C, or DSP2D Voice Server module and an Enhanced DS1 or E1 module with a PBX and/or key telephone system, the Multiservice Media Gateway system and your equipment should use a common chassis ground connection to avoid ground current loops, which could affect voice quality.

Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Channels Using the Console

Loopback Configuration Options

To aid network troubleshooting and testing, loopback capability is provided for the 6-Port DS1 IMA module. The loopback option on the module’s port and channel configuration window for the module enables you to verify the integrity of a port by transmitting a received signal back to the source. Selecting a loopback option is described in the module configuration procedure provided in this chapter.

If configuring a pair of 6-Port DS1 IMA module in the primary and standby setup, the desired loopback option must be configured by the user on both the primary and standby modules prior to bringing the pair into service. This parameter is applied on a port-by-port basis on both the primary and standby modules. If the line loop or local loop configuration is transferred from port A on the primary module to port B on the standby module, the port parameter does not transfer; it must be pre-configured on the standby by the user.

Figure 3-1 illustrates the line loop, payload loop, and local loop options.

Figure 3-1. Loopback Configuration Options on Certain I/O Modules

The following I/O modules have loopback capability:

• 6-Port Enhanced DS1/T1 Multiservice module

• 6-Port DS1 IMA module

• 12-Port Medium-Density DS1 Multiservice module

Saving 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 configuration permanently, before you exit the current session for the PSAX system console interface. It is recommended that you save your configuration frequently, after you configure each module, and then again after configuring the connections of each type you will have in your system. Finally, before you exit your current session, be sure you save your configuration for the last time by performing the steps in the following procedure.

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.

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter provides instructions for configuring the 6-Port DS1 IMA module for the ATM IMA interface. Before you can set interface configuration values, you must select an interface type value other than Unconfigured in the Interface Type field on the DS1 IMA Port and Channel Configuration window.

Note: Ports 1-6 of the 6-Port DS1 IMA module can be configured for

native DS1 ATM interfaces and for the ATM IMA interface. However, when you configure a group (channel), you may configure it for one of the following interfaces: ATM IISP User, ATM IISP Network, ATM UNI 3.0, ATM UNI 3.1, ATM UNI 4.0 or ATM PNNI 1.0.

For a matrix of modules and supporting interface types, see the Interface Types by I/O Module Types Table in the Reference Tables appendix of your

PSAX User Guide.

the Console

Errors in Applying Interfaces to Ports

An error can occur when you apply an interface to a port or channel. If an error condition occurs, the Multiservice Media Gateway sends an SNMP trap that usually appears in the console Trap Log Display (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,” for more information about the SNMP traps related to interface errors).

• Entering values into fields 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

ATM IMA Interface

This section provides instructions for configuring an I/O module for the ATM Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) interface. You may configure the following I/O modules for the ATM IMA interface:

• 6-Port DS1 IMA module

• 1-Port DS3 IMA module

• 6-Port E1 IMA module

Automatic Use of IMA Links

In an IMA group, if one link is broken, the group can be configured to automatically use the other links. For example, if an IMA group has three DS1 links and one of the links fails, although the throughput will drop from

4.5 Mbps to 3.0 Mbps, the IMA group continues to work. If the slowest link fails, there will be some cell loss on CBR connections as the other links speed up their cell rate to eliminate excess delay, due to their buffering of cells.

IMA Configuration Considerations

Note: If your PSAX unit will be interoperating with a device that has

implemented ATM Forum IMA ATM Specification Version 1.0 such that its equipment incorrectly reports link states to the farend of an IMA connection, you must configure IMA groups with the compatibility mode turned on. This also causes the PSAX unit to correctly report link states and interoperate with your ATM Forum IMA ATM Specification Version 1.0 equipment.

The following is a list of operations considerations for the IMA interface:

• Once an IMA group has been deleted, its status is displayed as "Insufficient-Links."

• Links may not be added or removed from a group that is configured. You must delete any existing interfaces applied to the group before adding or removing links.

• Operational Status refers to IMA group status, which can be viewed in the port and channel configuration window.

~ You can restart an IMA group by taking it administratively out of

service and then bringing it back into service.

~ In order to change any group configuration parameters, the group

must be completely unconfigured.

~ There may be difficulties if the IMA group is configured for symetric

operation but has asymetric link delays. For example, one end may consider links A, B, and C to have problems, while the other end considers D, E, and F to have problems.

~ Four configurable transmit frame lengths are provided: 32, 64, 128,

256 cells. One ICP (IMA communication protocol) cell is sent over each link once per IMA frame. If you select a larger frame length,

PacketStar® PSAX 6-Port DS1 IMA Module User Guide, Issue1 Release7.0 5-2 255-700-166

there will be less overhead. If you select a smaller frame length, the IMA group has better response in communications with the far end, resulting in faster error detection and recovery. The IMA specification only requires equipment to support a frame length of 128. If a frame length other than 128 is configured and the far-end is connected to equipment that doesn’t support it, the far-end group enters the configabort state.

~ The IMA identifier (ID) is an 8-bit (0-255) identifier for this IMA

group. There is no significance to any particular values of IMA IDs. Since the IMA ID is used to identify a group to the far-end, pick a unique value instead of leaving it as the default of 0.

Accessing the ATM IMA Interface

If you selected the value AtmIma as the interface type, the ATM IMA Interface Configuration window (see Figure 5-1) is displayed.

Does not work; non-specific reason.

Reason Unusable Fault Local failure status of a link belonging to an

IMA group (not currently supported.) The PSAX device does not generate this con-

dition, but may report such a condition generated by the far end of an IMA connection.

Unusable Misconnected

An IMA link is not corrected to the proper end. (The PSAX device does not currently generate this condition, but the PSAX device reports this condition to the user if the far-end reports it to the PSAX device.)

For example, when an IMA group is established, the links immediately discover which device they are connecting to on the far end. If cables are then removed and plugged back in differently , then the equipment may signify that it is misconnected.

Unusable Inhibited

This is an administrative mechanism for taking an IMA link out of service. When in this state, it is unknown whether there are any

physical problems with the link. Unusable Failed Check the defect value displayed. Usable There are no local reasons why this link is not

active. The only thing preventing it from

being active is the far-end state (for example,

a transmitter cannot be active and send real

data until the far-end receiver is ready to

accept that data). Active Interface in use. NoDefect No link defects. Link failure Physical failure/loss of signal. LIF Persistent los s of IMA frame. LODS Link out of delay synchronization.

Activating the IMA Interface

To activate the interface on the ATM IMA Interface Configurat ion Window, select the Bring Interface Into Service command and press Enter.

Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (IISP) Interface

Interim Interswitch Signaling Protocol (IISP), formerly known as PNNI Phase 0, was introduced as an interim standard, pending completion of the PNNI Phase 1. Building on ATM UNI 3.0 and ATM UNI 3.1, it uses static routing tables established by the network administrator to route connections around link failures.

The IISP interface requires the default range of values 0–255 for the virtual path identifier (VPI) and 32–255 for the virtual channel identifier (VCI) to accept and establish calls. This value is set on the ATM IISP Interface Configuration window.

Each connection using the IISP interface is configurable as either the user side or the network side.

Optimizing SVC Call Performance

The service-specific connection-oriented protocol (SSCOP) field 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 Multiservice

Media Gateway from a remote site only. The Multiservice Media Gateway configures these settings internally in its own ATM switch.

When there are unacknowledged protocol data units (PDUs), the MaxPD field on the remote end peer (such as the NavisCore

PacketStar® PSAX 6-Port DS1 IMA Module User Guide, Issue1 Release7.0 5-6 255-700-166

™

CBX 500™) shows the

maximum number of SSCOP 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 for a value up to 32 for all ATM interfaces on the Multiservice Media Gateway. The interfaces of the ATM switches that are connected to an Multiservice Media Gateway should be configured to the same values. This results in 100% 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: Vari ous SSCOP paramete r setti ngs deter mine th e maximum c redit

window. As a result, you may not be able to directly use these settings.

SSCOP Rx Wnd Size

The service-specific connection-oriented protocol (SSCOP) layer. This window shows the total number of packets that must be acknowledged by the receiving side before more packets are sent from the trans-

mitting side. Default: 32 Range: 8–256

VI Support

On the receiving side, the window size for this value

must be equal to or greater than the values for the

transmitting side for fastest transmission rates.

Virtual interfaces connect to a module’s physical

ports and allow virtu al channe ls (VCs) to be assigne d

to virtual trunks, each with its own priority queue.

This option is available only for these modules:

OC3-c APS,

STM-1 MSP. Enabled Feature is enabled, providing bandwidth allocation

restrictions.

Note: In order to configure a virtual interface, you

must select Enabled. Disabled VI support is disabled.
