Port Name

 

A descriptive field to identify the port

Port Mode

On-line

This is a status field that can be toggled to online or offline. When the port is in

 

Off-line

offline status, it is not available to make calls, and passive SVCs are refused.

 

 

 

Framing

C-bit

C-bitis a framing mode using DS2 stuff bits associated with M23 multiplexing

 

M13

for other purposes such as Far End Alarm Control (FEAC) Channel. M13 is a

 

Unframed

mode that maps 28 DS1s directly into the DS3. The DS1s do not exist

 

 

independently as is the case when M23 multiplexing is used. Unframed requires

 

 

a 44.736 Mbps input.

 

 

 

Clock Mode

SRTS

NOTE: SRTS is a proprietary timing algorithm and may ONLY be

BITS

 

 

Loop

SRTS-This method measures the Service Clock input frequency against a

 

 

network-wide ATM synchronization clock and sends the difference signals in the

 

 

AAL1 header to the destination Broadmore 1700 circuit emulation interface. The

 

 

different signals are then combined with the network-wide ATM synchronization

 

 

clock to re-create the input service clock. If more than one ATM clock

 

 

synchronization is present in the network, an alternate timing recovery method

 

 

must be selected. For this method to work, the ATM network must be

 

 

synchronized to a single network-wide clock source. User equipment should be

 

 

configured to internal clock.

 

 

Adaptive Timing –This technique maintains a pre-defined fill level in the Circuit

 

 

Emulation Re-assembly buffer to control the timing output to user equipment.

 

 

This method of timing recovery does not require a Synchronous ATM network

 

 

and is used in applications where network wide synchronization is not available.

 

 

(Synchronous) Network-This method of clock recovery derives timing from the

 

 

ATM Network and propagates it to the CE Service Interface. The ATM network

 

 

must be synchronized to a single source clock. User equipment should be

 

 

configured to recover timing from the Broadmore 1700 CE service interface.

 

 

(Synchronous) Loop-The Broadmore 1700 CE interface will derive clock from

 

 

the attached DS3 user equipment and transmit from the CE interface at that rate.

 

 

The user equipment should be configured for Internal timing if the Broadmore

 

 

1700 CE service interface is configured for Synchronous loop.

 

 

BITS- (Building Integrated Timing Supply)- distributes standard timing to

 

 

equipment within the central office. The Broadmore 1700 accepts BITS via either

 

 

NIM IOM. The fallback for the primary BITS clock is the other BITS clock. The

 

 

fallback for no BITS is the internal clock of the NIM.
