Card Variants
There are 8 variants based on:
•Primary rate interface (T1 or E1)
•AAL type (AAL1 or AAL1/AAL5)
•System backplane bandwidth (4 Mb/s or 16 Mb/s)
•EMC compliance
ATM Service Adaptation
•AAL1 and AAL5
•Selectable on a DS0 basis for channelized
AAL1 Adaptation and CES
•AAL1 or AAL1/AAL5
•Adapts CBR data and associated signaling (n*64 kb/s) to AAL1 VCs over an ATM network, in accordance with
•DS0s
¬Supports up to 84 for T1 interfaces
¬Supports up to 104 for E1 interfaces
¬Multiple DS0 CESs can be transmitted over the same VC
¬Voice (LGS) and data (V.35) DS0s with a common desti- nation can be transmitted together
•Configurable signaling multi- frame size: 16 or 24 frames
•Supports voice signaling with
•Received cell delay variation tolerance is user defined per VC
•Transmit cell level is user defined per VC from n to 47, in one byte increments, where n is the number of DS0s in the VC
AAL5 Adaptation and
HDLC Services
