Background Information

The CESM-8 card offers a 100 percent port density increase over the CESM-4 card, as well as various clocking and framing functional enhancements. The CESM-4 card supports only T1/E1 basic unstructured service with synchronous clocking. The CESM-8 provides both basic unstructured service and basic/channel associated signaling (CAS) structured service.

This document explores only the unstructured service features of the CESM-8 card, particularly the clocking schemes (synchronous, Synchronous Residual Time Stamp (SRTS), and adaptive), and the framingonVCdisconnect feature. Refer to these specifications for more background information on Circuit Emulation or Unstructured Data Transport:

• The ATM Forum

  af-vtoa-0078.000—Circuit Emulation Service Interoperability Specification Version 2.0 (January 1997)

• International Telecommunication Union (ITU)

  ITU-T I.363.1—BISDN ATM Adaptation Layer specification: Type 1 AAL (August 1996)

Configure

The CESM-8 supports both T1 and E1 lines. Both line types are configured using the same set of commands.

• Lines are the first entity to be configured on the card.

• Next, logical ports are configured and associated with the active lines. These ports define a range of digital signal level 0s (DS0s) to use on the card and the type of CES to use (structured or unstructured).

• Finally, channels are created for each port to route the data through the ATM network.

This section describes these configurations:

• Synchronous Clocking

• Synchronous Residual Time Stamp (SRTS) Clocking

• Adaptive Clocking

• Framing on VC Disconnect

Note: To find additional information on the commands used in this document, use the Command Lookup Tool ( registered customers only) .

Synchronous Clocking

In this example, we connect the MC3810 units WSS-3810A and WSS-3810B via their MultiFlex Trunk (MFT) modules (Controller T1 0/Serial 2) using High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) as the layer 2 protocol. Each multiflex trunk module (MFT) connects into Line 2 on its respective CESM card. All devices in the test network derive their timing from the internal oscillator on WSS-BPXC.

This example uses this network diagram:

   Bring up the lines on the two CESM cards. The line configuration covers the physical layer parameters for the associated T1 or E1 line.

2. CESM—Configure Ports

   Add the logical ports. Ports provide a logical grouping for a series of DS0s on a particular line and define the CES mode. With unstructured service, all DS0s for a line are subsumed in one port.

3. CESM—Add Channels

   The logical channel controls the ATM side parameters for the connection. Link one logical channel to one logical port. Here, we configure the ports for basic service (channel associated signaling (CAS) is not appropriate for unstructured data transport), and set the conditioning criteria to send all 1s if the channel experiences cell loss. We then configure the channel buffer size, Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT), and clocking values.

4. CESM—Examine Channel Statistics

   # If we look at the channel statistics at this stage of the configuration, we see some definite problems. The associated channel on each card appears to be sending cells into the network, but neither channel reports receiving any cells, thus the alarm condition for the channel state. The problem here is that we have not built the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) to transport the AAL1 cells from CESM card to CESM card.

5. BPX—Add CBR Connection

   In order to carry the cells from one CESM to the other, we need to build a constant bit rate (CBR) connection from the BXM trunk cards off of which each MGX shelf hangs. Because this PVC will carry a T1 unstructured stream, we configure the cell rate at 4107 cells per second.

   (193 bits/frame * 8000 frames/sec) / (47 bytes/cell * 8 bits/byte) = 4106.38 cells/sec

6. CESM—Monitor Connection Statistics

   Now when we look at the channel counters on the CESM card; things look much better. The key thing to notice is that the connections are not in alarm, and the cells in and out are, for all intents and purposes, the same.

   MGX-B

7. BPX—Monitor Connection Statistics

   Again, the key point to notice in this screen is that the cells port-to-net and net-to-port are the same. If you ever see the Avg CPS above the PCR for the connection, the %util above 100, or any of the dscd counters clocking up, you probably have not calculated the correct PCR for the data stream.

8. Verify Clocking

   The clocking arrangement in this example has all units tracing their clock to the internal oscillator on WSS-BPXC. Since BPXC is the highest routing node in the network, BPXB automatically takes its clock from BPXC. Each MGX shelf is configured to time its bus inband from its BNM card. The lines on both CESM cards are local timed. And, each MC3810 is configured to time its internal bus using the recovered clock from the MFT. The MFTs do not show any clock slips, so timing looks good end-to-end (and we chose the MC3810s because they are very picky about their timing).

9. MC3810 Configurations

   The relevant portions of the 3810 configuration files are shown below. Note that Controller T1 0 is the MFT and ties into the Serial 2 interface on the device. The default clock source on the T1 controllers is Line. In order to prevent timing problems on a 3810 with a DVM module (Controller T1 1), set the clock source on that controller so that both controllers are not trying to time the bus.

Synchronous Residual Time Stamp (SRTS) Clocking

Unfortunately, all network configurations do not allow all devices to trace their clock source to one reference. For those situations when the end devices are not in a position to take clock from the network, SRTS clocking allows timing to pass through the network.

SRTS operates under these assumptions:

• All elements in the network portion of the Circuit Emulation Service (CES) can trace their clock to one reference.

• CPE can also trace their clock to one reference.

Obviously, the CPE and network clock sources are different references. If they were the same, we would be using synchronous clocking.

This example uses the same configuration used in the synchronous clocking example, but we modify the channel parameters on the CESM cards to use SRTS, as opposed to synchronous timing. Then, we modify one of the MC3810 units to take timing from its internal oscillator. The other MC3810 unit continues to take its timing from the line.

4. MC3810 Configurations

   Here's a quick look at the new configurations for the MC3810 units. Only the 3810A experienced any configuration changes.

Adaptive Clocking

Adaptive clocking is usually the choice when you cannot tie the CPE devices and the network elements to the same clock (otherwise, you would be using synchronous clocking). It's also used when you cannot tie the CPE devices to one clock and the network elements to another clock (otherwise, you would be using SRTS clocking). That leaves you with the option of tying one CPE to one clock, the other CPE to another clock, and the network elements to a third clock. This is not an ideal situation with a leased line, and using circuit emulation does not automatically make things better. Adaptive clocking merely adjusts the Transmit clocking on the CESM T1/E1 interface based on buffer size: when the buffer gets full, speed up the clock, when the buffer empties, slow the clock down.

In this example, we basically extend the SRTS configuration by changing the channel clocking configuration to adaptive and changing the clocking on 3810-C so that both MC3810 units are clocking using their internal clock.

3. MC3810—Verify Clocking

   As you can see in the syntax of this configuration step, things are not as clean as with the other two clock modes. The lines are up, but slips and errored seconds abound. It is also interesting to look at the reported cell rate on the PVC configured on the BPX nodes. The internal clocks on the MC3810 units are obviously running a bit fast because the cell rate has increased. (Note: increasing the PVC cell rate for the connection did not eliminate the slip/errored seconds problem.)

4. CESM—Monitor Connection Statistics

   In the output shown in this step, notice that the CESM card thinks that everything is functioning correctly. Granted, the syntax below was copied for this document within 60 seconds of clearing the counters, but there are no lost cells or other anomalies. This implies is that the AAL1 cells are getting between the CESM cards, but are having problems staying in tune with the tight MC3810 clocking requirements.

Framing on VC Disconnect

The framingOnVcDisconnect port option is used when connecting legacy CPE to the CESM-8. This option is very much like the unstructured port. The only difference between framingOnVcDisconnect and unstructured port is when there is a network side cell loss. In the case of an unstructured port, conditional data is sent on the line. In the case of framingOnVcDisconnect, the line data that is received from the CPE is looped back to the CPE, so the CPE will not loose framing.

1. CESM—Reconfigure Port for framingOnVcDisconnect

   Unfortunately, you cannot simply redefine the port type at any time. You have to remove the channel associated with the port first, reconfigure the port, readd the channel, and adjust channel configuration. These configurations show the steps:

2. MS3810—CPE Behavior with framingOnVcDisconnect

   With the PVC down between BPX-B and BPX-C, we see that the T1 controllers on the 3810 units do not go down and that the HDLC keepalives are looped back to the MC3810 units. However, the CESM card still shows cell loss and an alarm state.

Command List

This section lists the commands, with available options and values, used in the configuration examples throughout this document.

addln line_num , where…

• line_num can be a numeric value in the range from 1 to 8.

cnfln line_num line_code line_len clk_src [E1-signaling] , where…

• line_num can be a numeric value in the range from 1 to 8.

• line_code can be:

  • 2 = B8ZS (T1)

  • 3 = HDB3 (E1)

  • 4 = AMI (T1/E1)

• line_len (line length) can be:

  • 8 = E1 with SMB line module

  • 9 = E1 with RJ48 line module

  • 10 = T1 0 to 131 ft. line build out

  • 11 = T1 131 to 262 ft.

  • 12 = T1 262 to 393 ft.

  • 13 = T1 393 to 524 ft.

  • 14 = T1 524 to 655 ft.

  • 15 = T1 > 655 ft.

• clk_src (clock source) can be:

  • 1 = Loop clock; the transmit clock on the interface is locked to the receive clock from the attached device.

  • 2 = Local clock; the CESM-8 cards uses clock derived from the backplane to drive the transmit clock.

• E1-signaling can be:

  • CAS = Channel Associated Signaling; signaling information is contained in timeslot 16 and framing is carried in timeslot 0.

  • CAS_CRC = CAS with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).

  • CCS = Common Channel Signaling; signaling information is not tied to a particular timeslot. Framing is still carried in the first timeslot.

  • CCS_CRC = CCS with CRC.

  • CLEAR = No attempt is made to identify framing or signaling on the incoming stream. The entire data stream is considered data.

addport port_num line_num begin_slot num_slot port_type , where…

• port_num can be:

  • In the range from 1 to 192 = T1 (8 lines * 24 DS0s/line)

  • In the range from 1 to 248 = E1 (8 lines * 31 DS0s / line)

• line_num can be a numeric value from 1 to 8.

• begin_slot is the beginning time slot in line to start port.

• num_slot is the number of DS0 time slots assigned to the port.

• port_type can be:

  • 1 = Structured

    For T1, you can set up a structured port type for bandwidths ranging from 1 to 24 DS0s.

    For E1, structured ports can not include the framing timeslot (CCS or CAS), or the signaling timeslot (CAS).

  • 2 = Unstructured

    For T1, unstructured port = 24 DS0s.

    For E1, unstructured port can only be configured when the E1 signaling is set to CLEAR.

  • 3 = framingOnVcDisconnect

    This port type is basically the same as unstructured with one key difference—when an unstructured port experiences a network-side cell loss, the CESM-8 transmits conditional data down the line. With framingOnVcDisconnect, cell loss from the network side results in the CESM-8 looping back data received from the CPE back out the port so that the CPE does not lose framing. The same restrictions on DS0 count and signaling type present for an unstructured port apply here.

addchan chan_num port_num CesCas partial_fill cond_data cond_signaling , where…

• chan_num can be a numeric value in the range from 32 to 279.

• port_num can be:

  • In the range from 1 to 192 = T1 (8 lines * 24 DS0s/line)

  • In the range from 1 to 248 = E1 (8 lines * 31 DS0s / line)

• CesCas can be:

  • 1 = Basic; the CES interworking function does not recognize signaling information for special transport across the network.

  • 2 = e1Cas; recover E1 Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) for transport.

  • 3 = ds1SfCas; recover T1 Channel Associated Signaling from a SuperFrame structure (ABAB).

  • 4 = ds1EsfCas; recover T1 CAS from an Extended SuperFrame structure (ABCD).

• partial_fill can be 0 (zero) or a value from 20 to 47:

  • 0 or 47 = Fully filled

  • In the range from 20 to 47 = E1 structured

  • In the range from 25 to 47 = T1 structured

  • In the range from 33 to 47 = T1/E1 unstructured

• cond_data can be:

  • 0 to 255 = Structured Data Transport (SDT)

  • 255 = Unstructured Data Transport (UDT)

• cond_signaling is a decimal representation of the the 4-bit ABCD bit pattern, in the range from 0 to 15, where…

  • 0 = 0000 binary

  • 1 decimal = 0001 binary

  • 8 decimal = 1000 binary

  • 15 decimal = 1111 binary

cnfchan chan_num CDV CLIP bufsize clockmode IdleDetEnable ExtIStrig , where…

• chan_num can be a numeric value in the range from 32 to 279.

• CDV (Cell Delay Variation) can be:

  • In the range from 1000 to 24000 micro seconds, for T1 (in increments of 125).

  • In the range from 1000 to32000 micro seconds, for E1 (in increments of 125).

• CLIP (Cell Loss Integration Period) can be a value in the range from 1000 to 65535 milliseconds.

• bufsize (the egress buffer size, in bytes) can be:

  • 0 = Autocompute buffer size (must be large enough to hold 8 SAR-PDUs).

  • Minimum buffer size = 384 bytes (8 cell payloads to one complete seq. num cycle).

  • Maximum buffer size = 9216 for T1 structured; 16384 for others.

• clockmode can be:

  • 1 = Synchronous (UDT/SDT)

  • 2 = SRTS (UDT)

  • 3 = Adaptive (UDT)

• IdleDetEnable can be:

  • 1 = Disable

  • 2 = Enable

• ExtIStrig can be:

  • 1 = Disable idle suppression

  • 2 = Enable idle suppression
