ADPCM Card Introduction
Chapter 1
ADPCM Card
1.1 Introduction
This chapter provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information for the
Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation (ADPCM) Card. This card is labeled as the
ADPCM 64 card on its faceplate ejector.
1.2 ADPCM Card Descriptions
1.2.1 ADPCM 64 Card Description (887160)
The ADPCM 64 Card has 32 pairs of voice compression engines that accept inputs directly
from voice, SRU, and/or BRI data cards in the same system unit, or voice traffic from WA N
links through the system. This card requires a matching card at the other end to decompress
the voice channels to normal 64 kbps operation.
With previous versions of the IMACS, signaling conversion was only supported for voice
ports when routed over the WAN and not when routed through an ADPCM card. W ith version
5.3.1 and higher of the IMACS host CPU firmware, signa ling conversion i s also supported fo r
voice channels routed through the ADPCM. The conversion table is the same as for passing
the channel through a WAN, and available from the interface car d’s main scre en by sele cting
“taBs”. Signaling conversion is enabled / disabled using the same SIG CONV parameter as
used for conversion over a WAN. This field is found on Figure 1-1, the E & M Voice Card’s
main screen.
Each pair of compression engines uses one 64 kbps DS0 time slot for two compressed voice
channels. Each engine can compress 64 kbps voice traffic into 24 kbps, 32 kbps, or 40 kbps,
depending on the voice signal quality required.
The rate of a DS0 time slot i s 64 kbps, so the sum of the compression rates for engines 1 and
2 must equal 64 kbps. For example, if you assign a 32 kbps circuit to engine 1, engine 2 can
only accept another 32 kb ps cir cuit. Al so, a 40 kb ps c ircuit c an only b e pa ired with a 24 kbp s
circuit, and vice versa.
The ADPCM compression engines always work in pairs. Engines 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6,
and 7 and 8 are paired. Each member of the pair mus t have th e same ADPCM WAN port and
ADPCM time slot. Also, both members of the compression engine pair must be active
before either port will operate.

ADPCM Card Descriptions ADPCM Card
The ADPCM 64 Card can transport low-s peed asy nchr onous da ta transmi ssion (19.2 kbps or
less) from an SRU user card po rt that wil l occupy a 24 kbps engine. Each dat a circuit must be
paired with a 40 kbps voice channel . The card can a lso compress B- channel voice traff ic from
a BRI card without restricting compression rates.
The Integrated Access System can have up to three ADPCM 64 Cards (two normal cards and
an identical redundant card).
The ADPCM 64 Card supports Transition Signaling as defined in ANSI T1.302-1989, with
the exception of the Alarm bits. ANSI T1.302 specifies signaling at the 32 bps compression
rate. The card uses t his scheme for 24 bps and 40 bps, even though those rat es are not incl uded
in the standard . T able 1-1 summarizes the signals suppor ted by each t ranscoder data rate. Your
DS0 time slot configuration must adhere to these specifications.

The State setting determines whether the port is active or inactive. When assigning ADPCM
engine pairs for WAN traffic, set the State setting to stdby (standby) for por ts tha t are no t yet
used or not yet configured. Set it to actv (active) for ports that are ready fo r use.
Setting the State to rdnt (redundant) for any port o n an unu sed card wi ll cause that ca rd to act
as the redundant back-up for all of the other ADPCM cards in that unit. Once a card is
designated as a redundant ADPCM card the only way it can be used for regular ADPCM
traffic is to change the state of the selected port back to either actv or stdby.
When assigning ADPCM engine pairs from use r cards , changing the port from stdby to actv
and saving the selection information on the user card screen will cause the system to
automatically assign an ADPCM engine.
When the engine is assigned from a user card, no changes can be made from the ADPCM card
screen to any of the fields.

ADPCM Card ADPCM Card User Screens and Settings
USER
The User setting identifies the user card and port connected to this engine. This is the place
where the ADPCM card will expect incoming (non-compressed) voice, subrate data, and
B-channel traf fic. If assi gned from a voice, SRU, or BRI card port , this selec tion will show the
user card slot and port n umber (e.g ., u5-2 for th e ca rd in sl ot U5, port 2). If you are as signi ng
a WAN time slot, this setting will s how n/a.
WAN/SERV
The WAN/SERV setting identifies the incoming WAN link connected to this engine. This is
the place where the ADPCM card will expect incoming (non-compressed) voice. If you are
assigning voice traffic to a WAN time slot, this setting will show w1-1 to w4-2. If you are
assigning to a voice card or SRU card port, this setting will show n/a.
TS
The Time slot parameter selects the specific time slot of the above WAN link on which the
ADPCM card can expect incoming voice traffic. If WAN 1-1 is equipped with a T1 CSU
module or a DSX/CEPT module configured for T1 DSX interface, the options are 1 to 24. If
a DSX/CEPT module is installed on that WAN port and that module is configured for CEPT
E1 interface, the options are 1 to 15 and 17 to 31. If you are assigning time slots to voice or
SRU card ports, this setting will be n/a.
ADPCM W/S
The ADPCM W/S setting identifies the out going WAN link to which the engine is connected.
If you are assigning to a voice, SRU, or BRI card port, or to voice traffic from a WAN time
slot, this setting will show w1-1 through w4-2. This is the WAN link to which the ADPCM
card will send its outgoing (compressed) traffic.
ADPCM TS
The ADPCM Ti me slot para meter sel ects the specific tim e slot on the WAN link chosen in the
previous setting that t he ADPCM card will send outgoing compr essed traf fic. The options are
determined by the equipment on the WAN link selected in the previous setting. If WAN 1-1 is
equipped with an 8 12 CSU or 811 DSX/CEPT Module conf igure d for DSX, t he opt ions are 1
to 24. If a DSX/CEP T module is installed a nd configure d for CEPT E1, the opt ions are 1 to 15
and 17 to 31.

TYPE
The Type parameter identi f ies the voice and signaling requir ements for the incoming circui t.
The options are v (voice), voice and v&s (si gnali ng) and trnsp (transparent). Use v when the
input to the ADPCM channel is a 64 kbps channel and inband signaling is not required. Use
v&s when the input to th e ADPCM cha nnel i s a 64 kbps voi ce cha nnel a nd the ADPCM card
must also provide inband signaling.
The trnsp setting allows you to map the outputs of SRU ports to the ADPCM channel. The
subrate data will be cl ocked into the ADPCM channe l at an inpu t rate of 24 kbp s, then pa ssed
transparently (n on-compressed) through t he ADPCM card to the a ppr opr iat e WAN time slot.
This could be useful if you have an odd number of voice channels and want to utilize the
empty engine pair of the last ADPCM channel.
The B-channel traffic from the BRI card also uses the trnsp setting, but it does not place any
restrictions on the compression rates.
If the engine is assigned to a voice card, this selection will sh ow v&s. If assigned to an SRU
card, it will show trnsp. You cannot change it from this screen.
RATE
The Rate parameter identif ies the compression requirem ents for the incoming circuit. T he
options are 24K, 32K, and 40K. The sum of the pair of engines must always equal 64 kbps.
If this engine is assigned to a user card port, the selection will show the value that was chosen
on that port. It cannot be changed from this screen.
SIG MODE
The Signaling Mode parameter identifies the type of signaling required for the incoming
circuit from the network. If v&s was chosen in the Type setting, the options are e&m, fxs,
plar, and fxo. If v or trnsp was chosen in the Type setting, the only option is n/a.
If this engi ne is assigned t o a user card, this selection will show user. It cannot be changed
from this screen.
CODING
The Coding parameter identifies the PCM companding format required for the incoming
circuit from the network. The choices are u-law or a-inv.
If this engine is assigned to a voice or BRI card, this selection will show the value you selected
for that port. If this engine is assigned to an SRU card, this selection will show u-law. It cannot
be changed from this screen.

FRS Card
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information for the
Frame Relay Server (FRS) (881160) card with the 622xx Firmware.
Note that this card is labeled as an ACS card on its faceplate ejector. It is identified as an FRS
card only in the u ser interf ace screens shown in this chapter. Through out the remai nder of this
chapter, it will be r eferred to as the ACS-FRS card.
2.2 ACS-FRS Card Descriptions
2.2.1 ACS-FRS Card Description (881160)
The ACS-FRS card concentrates mult iple N x 56 K or N x 64K frame relay data stre ams onto
one or more Nx56/64K links of the Integrated Access System. In addition to frame relay
concentration, the card encapsulates data for Nx56/64K HDLC or SDLC data streams. The
frame relay server software runs on the ca rd, which p rovides u p to 68 l ogical po rts. Up to 128
permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) can be configured on a single card. The aggregate speeds
of all ports associated with each FRS cannot exceed 8 Mbps.
The maximum frame size sup ported by the ACS- FRS card is 4, 096 bytes per frame . Each card
can switch 4,000 frames p er second, as suming a fram e size of 64 b ytes per fr ame. Up to thre e
ACS-FRS cards can be used in a system.
2.2.1.1 Card Jumpers/Switch Settings
The ACS-FRS card does not have any jumpers or switches on its motherboard.
2.2.1.2 Installing the Card
Insert the ACS-FRS card into one of the server card chassis slots (P1 to P3) . The system can
accommodate up to three server cards.

2.2.2 ACS-FRS Firmware Features (62220)
The ACS-FRS firmware release 62220 has the same functionality as the firmware release
62218 except for the addition of circuit priorities. The addition of these priorities will assure
that traffic on higher priority circuits will be unaffected by traffic from lower priority circuits.
Four queues will be impl emen ted so no traf fi c of lower priority wil l be al l owed to pass when
there is traffic pending in a higher priority queue.
The overall objective is to pas s lower prior ity IP infor mati on alon g with vo ice tr af fic without
affecting voice quality. The ACS-FRS card will upon congestion favor the higher priority
queues. Lower priority queues will be buffered and transmitted if bandwidth becomes
available before transmit buffers overflow.
The ACS-FRS card will direct frames according to their DLCI (Data Link Connection
Identifier). IP Datagrams can be terminated on a LAN vi a the IPR (IP Router) card.

The maximum bandwidth possible between the IPR and ACS-FRS cards is 62 time slots
provided on the internal buses “A” and “B.”
The “C1” and “C2” ports of the FRS card can not together be assigned mo re than 32 time sl ots
due to hardware limi ta ti ons . The same is true for t he FRS ports “C3” and “C4”. A total of 6 4
time slots can be assigned all the “C” ports. A similar limitation exists for the ports 1-64
terminating the voice circuits. Each group of 32 ports, 1-32, and 32-64 share a common
internal pipe limited to 32 ti me slots each. The maximum number of time slots allows per port
is one when all ports per group is acti ve. If half th e number of ports of a group i s active, t wice
the number of time slots can be assigned per port.
The maximum internal bandwidth between FRS cards and HSU cards of an Integrated Access
System is limited by the pools size of 126, but also limited by usage from this pool by the
IPR/FRS connections and possible voice card usage.
