Verilink QUAD/IMUX User Manual 1-1

Overview

Features

Each Inverse Multiplexer system requires at least two different modules: the IMUX 2160 and the QUA D 21 64. When mor e tha n 4 E1 or T1 circuits are supported, two of the QUAD 2164 modules are used.

System

Figure 1-1 High-Spee d Rou ter using Inver se M ul t ip le xi n g

The IMUX 2160 interfaces to data terminal equipment (DTE), and the QUAD 2164 accesses a T1 or E1 network. These modu les form a single system for distributing data from a high-speed source over multiple T1s or E1s for a maxim um o f 12 Mbit/s over 8 T1s or 16 Mbit/s over 8 E1s.

The IMUX 2160 rear connector mod ul e i s available with a V.35, EIA 530, EIA 530A, RS-4 49 or HSSI data port. The V.35, EIA 530, EIA 530A and RS-449 interfaces support up to 4 T1s or 3 E1s for a data rate slightly over 6 Mbit/s, whereas the HSSI interface supports up to 8 T1s at a data rate of 12 Mbps or 8 E1s at a data rate of 16 Mbit/s.

The QUAD 2164 rear connector module deter mines whether a given QUAD 2164 module will handle E1 or T1 lines.

The Inverse Multiplexer system can op erate with or without an N CM 2000 (Node Controller Module). Simple point-to-point applications can operate in standalone mode. With multiple applications at an AS2000 node, the Inverse multiplexer is managed using t he NCM

2000. The QUAD/IMUX provides the following features:

1-2 Verilink QUAD/IMUX User Manual

The DS-1 (long-haul) and DSX-1 (short-haul) QUAD interfaces are fully compatible with industry-standard framing and line coding options (ESF, SF, AMI, B8ZS).

The 75 ohm and 120 ohm E1 QUAD interfaces support HDB3 line coding.

The Inverse Multiplexer has selectable data rates: nx1.336 Mbit/s (in 56K mode), nx1.528 Mbit/s (in 64K T1 mode), or nx1.976 Mbit/s (E1 mode), where n=1 to 8.

Overview

Delay Equalization

Performance Monitoring

Line Removal and Restoral

Automatic Rate Adaption

SNMP

To ensure proper alignment of your high-speed data, the Inverse Multiplexer has built-in mechanisms to provide sensitive delay equalization of the T1 or E1 network streams. (The delay is a maximum of 30 milliseconds between T1/E1 lines.)

An overhead framing scheme provides critical error monitoring capabilities, and an inband channel for remote site communications.

The DS-1 line is removed from service when the alarm thresholds are exceeded for BER, SES, UAS, or CRC.

For greater network prot ection, automatic rate adaption is included to adjust the data rate to lower speeds when the performance of individual T1 or E1 circuits degrade or fail. When the network circuits return to acceptable performance, the IMUX automatically restores the original data rate.

The Inverse Multiplexer system includes an embedded SNMP agent that supports standard MIBs, and provides exte nsions to ac cess produc tspecific parameters. Physical access is provided by a 10BaseT Ethernet connection located on the front panel of the QUAD 2164 card.

Module Details

QUAD 2164

Module

When used with an NCM 2000 module, the NCM handles the 10BaseT Ethernet connection and the QUAD 2164 Ethernet por t is shut off.

This section provides detail on the features of the two Inverse Multiplexer modules, the QUAD 2164, and the IMUX 2160.

The QUAD 2164 module provides:

•

All CSU functionality for the network side. This includes performance monitoring, framing, timing reco very and/or generation, error checking, and loopbacks on the network side.

•

Line removal and restoral upon exceeding specified alarm thresholds.

•

Shelf controller, if required.

Verilink QUAD/IMUX User Manual 1-3

Overview

The QUAD 2164 module exchanges user data with the IMUX 2160 across Data Bus A on the shelf backplane.

IMUX 2160 Module

Shelf Options

The IMUX 2160 module provides the high-speed serial interface to your data terminal equipment (DTE). The available connector interface module s (CIMs) incl ude HSSI, V. 35, RS-4 49, EIA 53 0, or EIA 530A interfaces.

In the transmit direction, the IMUX 2160 t akes a high speed synchronous serial data stream and repackages the data into a unique, proprietary frame for transmission by the QUAD 2164 module(s). It recombines T1 or E1 data streams received from the network by managing the time delays and resequencing the individual network data streams.

The IMUX 2160 sets up the data ra te and provides the autobaud function at the data port interface, automatically adapting when a network line drops. It handles data port loopbacks and alarms, providing error checking and frame detection for the proprietary IMUX 2160 frame format.

Although Verilink uses a proprietary inverse multiplexing technique on the T1 and E1 network side, the data port functionality supports industry standards for the synchron ou s serial interfaces.

To set up a standalone application for two to four T1s or E1s, you can use the DLS 2100 (Dual- Line Shelf) with one QU AD 2164 module in slot 1 and one IMUX 2160 module.

MLS 2200 Shelves

If your Inverse Multiplexing application requires support for more than 4 E1 or T1 lines, use the MLS 2200, MLS 2200-4i, or the QLS 2500 (Quint-Line Shelf).

The Inverse Multiplexer modules use Data Bus A to transmit data between modules. Since the MLS 2200 shelves differ in how they segment bus A, exercise caution when placing the QUAD and IMUX 2160 modules within 2200 shelves. Two IMUX 2160 cards can reside on the same bus A if they are sharing the ports of one QUAD

2164. The MLS 2000, QLS 2500, and DLS 2100 do not segment Bus A,

therefore these shelves may not contain more than one QUAD/IMUX installation.

The MLS 2200 and MLS 2200-4i segment Da ta Bus A as shown in

Figure 1-2.

1-4 Verilink QUAD/IMUX User Manual

Figure 1-2 Multiline shelf “A” Bus Segmentation

Overview

Module Placement

Each Inverse Multiplexer application must have sole use of Data Bus A, or a Bus A segment. The first QUAD 2164 modu l e in any bu s island (carrying the first four T1s or E1s) must be installed in an odd-numbered slot.

The second QUAD 2164 module in any bus island, carrying the second four T1s or E1s, must be installed in an even-numbered slot. The IMUX 2160 module may be placed in an odd or even numbered slot.

Overview

Inverse Multiplexer Configurations

Each QUAD 2164 module can aggregate up to four T1 or E1s. Two QUAD 2164 modules can be paired with an IMUX 2160 mo dule to provide a single router with 12 Mbit/s from T1 or 16 Mbit/s for E1. To distribute the bandwidth of four T1 or E1s across two routers, pair a single QU AD 2164 mo dul e wit h two I MUX 2160 mo dul es (on e for each router).

Inverse Multiplexer provides an essential link between high bandwidth applications and carrier services. Built as an alternative to DS3 services, Inverse Multiplexer provides the ability to meet the increased bandwidth required by applications such as high-speed LAN and high-resolution video conferencing.

One QUAD 2164, One IMUX 2160

Pairing a single QUAD 2164 module with an IMUX 2160 mod ule fitted with a V.35 rear interface connector provides up to 6 Mbit/s (T1) or 8 Mbit/s (E1) of usable ban d width.

Quick Set-Up

Quick Set-Up takes you through the steps necessary to configure a typical Inverse Multiplexer configuration. It is intended as an introduction to the process

Each of the E1 version menus are fully described in E1

Configuratio n Menus. Each of the T1 version menus are ful ly

described in T1 Configuration Menus.

The following assumptions are made for this example configuration:

•

A central site location includes an MLS 2200 (13 slot shelf) with two QUAD/IMUX installations, one using four T1 circuits and the other using eight T1s.

•

The central site is managed using an NCM 2000 module. The NCM 2000 is connected to an Ethe rnet LAN u sin g the provi ded Ethernet 10BaseT/10Base2 transceiver. The first QUAD/IMUX installation at the central site uses a QUAD 2164 module in slot 3, and an IMUX 2160 module i n sl ot 4. The second QUAD/IMUX installation at the central site uses QUAD 2164 modules in slots 7 and 8, and an IMUX 2160 in slot 9.

•

The remote sites are both managed by TCP/IP Ethernet LAN connections to the QUAD 2164 module front panel 10BaseT port (may be labelled SNMP).

•

The first remote QUAD/IMUX is housed in a Dual-line Shelf (DLS 2100) with a QUAD 2164 module in slot 1, and the IMUX 2160 in slot 2. This site connects to the 4 T1 QUAD/IMUX installation in slots 3 and 4 at the central site.

•

The second remote QUAD/IMUX is housed in a Quint-line Shelf, with QUAD 2164 modules in slot s 1 and 2, and the IMUX 2160 module in slot 3. This site connects to the 8 T1 QUAD/IMUX installation in slots 7, 8, and 9 at the central site.

•

All of the T1 facilities used are handled by the same InterExchange Carrier (long distance carrier) and the carrier provides timing by routing each T1 thro ugh a Digital Crossconnect System (DACS). This allows a common timing source to be used for both QUAD/IMUX installations—a required condition.

Verilink QUAD/IMUX User Manual 2-1

Quick Set- Up

NOTE:

•

The IMUX 2160 in slot 4 uses 4 T1 circuits with a V.35 rear interface module (DIM 2635). The IMUX 2160 in slot 9 uses 8 T1 circuits with a HSSI rear interface module (DIM 2660).

NOTE:

•

The DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) to be connected at each site consists of TCP/IP routers. At the central site two different WAN ports of the same router will be connected to the two QUAD/IMUX installations.

•

All of the T1 circuits use ESF framing and B8ZS line coding.

one active timing source.

Since the V.35, RS-449 and EIA 530 electrical interfaces only provide reliable operation at rates up to 6 Mbit/s, an y QUAD/IMUX installation which uses more than 4 T1 circuits or more than 3 E1 circuits requires the use of a HSSI rear connector module (DIM 2660) for the IMUX 2160. HSSI is designed to provide reliable operation at up to 52 Mbit/s.

17. Repeat Step 10 through Step 15 for the two remaining QUAD 2164 modules.

Configure Alarm Reporting and Line Restoral

It is crucial that the alarm and line restoral opt ions are set as part of the installation process. Otherwise, when a T1 fails and is automatically removed fr om service by the IMUX 2160, after the alarm condition clears, the previously failed T1 will never be placed back into service. The step-by-step procedure continues below with the QUAD 2164 Ala rm and Line Restoral options.

18. Select the QUAD 2164 in slot 3 as the current module, as indicated by the comman d line pr ompt . Us e the “S” com m a nd to change to slot 3, if necessary.

19. From the Main Menu, use “A” to acc e ss the QUAD 2164 Alarm Menu. On the Alarm Menu use the “A” command t o enable card alarm reporting.

3. Use the “H” comm and to sel ect MAN UAL f or DTE h andshak i ng. Use the “DSR”, “CTS” and “DCD” commands to force these control leads on.

NOTE:

Whenever DTE Handshake is set to MANUAL, all of the vital control leads required to pass data are immediately forced off. Even if these leads have been previously forced ON, if DTE Handshake is toggled to AUTOMATIC and then back to MANUAL, all of the vital leads are forced off, absolutely preventing data transmission. Whenever DTE Handshake is set to MANUAL the user should force on DSR, C TS and DCD.

4. The “RI” comma nd refers to Ring In dicator, a control lead used on RS-232 dial modems that has no bearing on this product. Forcing “RI” on has no effect on any lead and forcing “RI” off has no effect on any lead.

5. Force “TM” on if you wish to falsely indicate to the DTE that the IMUX 2160 is always in a test mode, even when it is not in a test mode, or force “TM” off if you wish to falsely indicate that the IMUX 2160 is never in a test mode, even when it is in a test mode.

NOTE:

Whenever any control lead must be forced on in an IMUX 2160 the user must select the DTE Handshake setting “MANUAL”. This causes all of the control leads to be forced off. The user must then force ON all of the control lea d s which are requir ed. I t is not p ossib le to ha ve one c ontrol lead forced on while other control leads continue to function normally. In addition, DSR must be on or t he IMUX 2160 will not transmit any user data.

6. The Q1 command is used to select T1 ports on the first QUAD

2164. This module must be installed in an odd-numbered slot of the shelf. Type “Q1” and then enter “1,2,3,4” to select all 4 of the T1 ports. Connect the four T1 circuits to the network ports on the rear connector module behind the QUAD 2164. Document which T1 circuit has been con nected to which port, since one-to-one alignment of the T1 ports is required at each site. (The T1 connected to port 1 at the central site must be connected to port 1 at th e remote site, and so forth.)

7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 o f this (I MUX 2160) pro cedure for t he IMUX 2160 module in slot 9. Because the IMUX 2160 in slot 9 will be using two QUAD 2164 modules, use the “Q2” command as well and enter “1,2,3,4” to select all four T1 circuits on the QUAD 2164 module in slot 8.

Central Site Summary

This concludes the necessary steps to begin passing data at the central site. Other actions which would be typical might include setting a TCP/IP address for management purposes. Please see the

NCM 2000 User Manual for details on configuring the NCM 2000.

Until now, all of the menu screen shots in this chapter have been those seen by using the Craft interface of the NCM 2000. The two remote sites in this example configuration do not feature an NCM

2000. For the balance of this chapter the menus present ed and command examples given will be those obtained by connecting directly to the Craft interface of the QUAD 2164 module.

Remote Site Configuration

This section details the procedure for configuring a standalone QUAD/IMUX configuration—one without an NCM 2000. In the “Example Network” section at the beginning of this chapter the first remote site was described as consisting of a QUAD 2164 module and an IMUX 2160 module in a Dual -l ine shelf. We will configure that site first .

17. The “RI” comma nd refers to Ring In dicator, a contr ol lead used on RS-232 dial modems that has no bearing on this product. Forcing “RI” on has no effect on any lead and forcing “RI” off has no effect on any lead.

18. Force “TM” on if you wish to fals ely indicate to the DTE that the IMUX 2160 is always in a test mode, even when it is not in a test mode, or force “TM” off if you wish to falsely indicate that the IMUX 2160 is never in a test mode, even when it is in a test mode.

NOTE:

Whenever any control lead must be forced on in an IMUX 2160 the user must select the DTE Handshake setting “MANUAL”. This causes all of the control leads to be forced off. The user must then force ON all of the control lea d s which are requir ed. I t is not p ossib le to ha ve one c ontrol lead forced on while other control leads continue to function normally. In addition, DSR must be on or t he IMUX 2160 will not transmit any user data.

19. The Q1 command is used to select T1 ports on the first QUAD

2164. This module must be installed in an odd-numbered slot of the shelf. Type “Q1” and then enter “1,2,3,4” to select all 4 of the T1 ports.

20. Connect the four T1 circuits to the network ports o n the rear connector module be hind the QUAD 2164. Be sure to co nnect the same T1 circuit to net port 1 as was done at the central site.

21. Observe the port LEDs on th e front panel of the QUAD 2164 module. Each LED should turn green within 15 seconds of connecting the T1. Troubleshoot any T1 problems until both ends of the circuit display green LEDs for all T1s.

In Service—Use this option to put the selected port in service or take it out of service. Specify "Yes" or "No".

CRC4—(Cyclic Redundancy Check) is an error-checking algorith m performed on data transmissions. On a frame-by-frame basis, a numerical value is derived from the data in the bit stream at one end of transmission. When each fram e reach es the rec eiv e end, the cyclic redundancy check is calculated again and compared with the value generated by the transmit-side data. Discrepancies generally indicate one or more transmission errors. Specify "Yes" or "No".

Carrier Failure Alarm—CFA is an alarm sent from the node indicating an E1 port has exceeded the Loss of Frame and the Loss of Signal seconds threshold set in the Net Port Alarm Configuration Menu. When enabled, an alarm is generated at the node and an Alarm Indication Sig nal (AIS) alarm is sent down stream to the other node. Specify "Yes" or "No".

FASE Alarm Category—Set this option to specify the Frame Alignment Signal Error (FASE) Alarm Category: This alarm indicates the number of FAS errors has exceeded

-3

. A FAS bit error occurs in bits 2-8 of an FAS frame and bit 2 of a non-FAS frame.

10 A minor FASE alarm is indicated by a yellow light on the LED. A major FASE alarm is

indicated by a red light on the LED, and the alarm relay is turned on. Valid options are:

E1 Line Remove

and Restore Menu

To configure the Line Restoral Options, type “L” from the QUAD 2164 Configuration Menu, Alarm Options display (Figure 3-4). The QUAD 2164 Line Remove/Restore Configuration Menu appears.

Use this option to remove the port from service under conditions of excessive CRC, SES, UAS, BPV, or BER errors on each network port. The line is removed whenever a configured error threshold is exceeded. (The line is also taken out of service immediately if LOS, LOF, AIS, RAI, and BPV are detected.)

CRC thresholds are monitored every second. SES and UAS thresholds are monitored over 15-m inut e interv als. BER thr eshold s are monitored over predetermined pe riods for each BER s e lection. (11 minutes for BER 10E

-9

and 1.5 minutes for 10E-8.)

The line remains out of service until the error condition clears. (Some conditions, for example, SES and UAS can take up to fifteen minutes to clear.) When the failed line is restored, the QUAD/IMUX card starts a 15-minute timer. If this timer expires without f urther line failures, any subsequent failure will be treated as a new failure. However, if a failure occ urs before the 15 -minute timer expires, the line remains out of service for the number of minutes specified in the Clear Interval parameter (see below).

Line Restoral options are:

Line Restoral Options

Option Values

The IMUX 2160 will immediately stop using any of the assigned T1 ports when a major circuit failure occurs. The three alarm conditions which trigger this immediate and unconditional reaction are

•

Loss Of Signal (LOS)

•

Loss Of Frame (LOF)

•

An unframed all ones pattern on the receive pair (Alarm Indication Si gnal—AIS).

Additionally, the IMUX 2160 will stop using a particular T1 for lesser alarm conditions if so configured on the Alarm Options Menu (Figure 4-4). This conditional action is based on the values set for CRC, SES, UAS and BER. The default values for these types of errors will not trigger a line removal.

Once removed, a line remains out of service Permanently unless the line restoral option has been changed from its default value

Field/Command Description

AIS Rx/Tx Displays the number of Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) Seconds (received and

transmitted ): A count of one-se cond interv als contai ning one or more AIS d efects. AIS is an unframed ALL-ONEs bit pattern that indicates an alarm condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment. This is also ca lled an ALL-ONEs Keep-Alive or Blue Alarm Signal. An AIS defect is declared when there are three or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and there is an LOF defect. It is cleared when there are three or more zeros in two frames or the LOF defect no longer exists.

RAI Rx/Tx Displays the number of Remote Alarm or Remote Alarm Indications (RAI) received

and transmitted. It is the alarm a receiving CSU sends to the other end of the circuit when it detects a Loss of Signal or Loss of Frame. There is a 2- to 3-second integration period upon detection of LOS or LOF before an alarm is sent to the farend equipment. This condition is also referred to as a Yellow Alarm.

SLIP Indicates a timing slip error condition.

transmitted ): A count of one-se cond interv als contai ning one or more AIS d efects. AIS is an unframed ALL-ONEs bit pattern that indicates an alarm condition exists upstream in a circuit leading to the downstream equipment. This is also ca lled an ALL-ONEs Keep-Alive or Blue Alarm Signal. An AIS defect is declared when there are three or fewer zeros in 512 bit times and there is an LOF defect. It is cleared when there are three or more zeros in two frames or the LOF defect no longer exists.

and transmitted. It is the alarm a receiving channel bank or multiplexer sends to the other end of the circuit when it detects a Loss of Signal or Loss of Frame. There is a 2- to 3-second integration period upon detection of LOS or LOF before an alarm is sent to the far-end equipment. This condition is also referred to as a Yellow Alarm.

Field/Command Description

CRC4 This field will say "CRC6" for T1 versions and "CRC4" for E1 versions of the QUAD

2164. Cyclic Redundancy Check is an error-checking al gorithm performed on data

transmissions. In simplified terms, on a frame-by-frame basis, a numerical value is derived from the data in the bit stream at one end of transmission. When each frame reaches the receive end, the cyclic redundancy check is calculated again and compared with the value generated by the transmit-side data. Discrepancies usually indicate one or more transmission errors.

BER EX Indicates that the configured Bit Error Rate threshold has been exceeded. The BER
