Circuit Emulation Service Module for T3 and E3

Configuring the Card, Lines, and Ports

This section describes how to configure parameters for the card, line, and port through the CLI. If you use the CiscoView application, refer to CiscoView documentation. The command sequence is:

Step 1 addln <line number>

where line number is 1. You can modify line characteristics with cnfln.

Step 2 Optionally execute cnfln to modify line characteristics:

cnfln <line_num> <line_code> <line_len> <clk_src>

•line_num is 1.

•line_code is a number to specify line coding: 1 for B3ZS (T3), and 2 for HDB3 (E3)

•line_len is a number that specifies the line length: 1 for up to 225 feet, and 2 for more than 225 feet

•clk_src is a number that specifies the clock source: 1 for local clock sourced on the PXM, and 2 for looped clock

Step 3 Use dspln or dsplns to check the line. For dspln, the valid line number is 1.

Step 4 Create a logical port with addport:

addport <port_num> <line_num>

•

•

port_num is the logical port number and is always 1

line_num is the number of the physical line and is always 1.

Step 5 Configure resources at the port level as needed by executing cnfportrscprtn:

cnfportrscprtn <port_num> <controller_name>

•port_num is the logical port number and is always 1.

•controller_name is the name of the network control application. Enter one of the following strings: PAR, PNNI, or MPLS.

Step 6 Optionally configure Y-cable redundancy if you have connected the lines of adjacent CESMs through a Y-cable. The applicable commands are addred, dspred, and delred. These commands run on the PXM rather than the service module, so you must change to the PXM CLI to execute them:

addred <redPrimarySlotNum> <redSecondarySlotNum> <redType>

•redPrimarySlotNum is the slot number of the primary card. The possible numbers are 1–6, 9–14, 17–22, and 25–30.

•redSecondarySlotNum is the slot number of the primary card. The possible numbers are 1–6, 9–14, 17–22, and 25–30.

•redType is the type of redundancy. Enter a 1 for 1:1 Y-cable redundancy.

Adding and Modifying Connections

Use either the Cisco WAN Manager application or the CLI to add or modify connections. If you use the WAN Manager application, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations Guide.

This section describes how to add a connection to a PXM in a stand-alone node according to the rules for a standard connection or a management connection in the form of either a three-segment connection or a DAX con. See “Rules for Adding Connections” earlier in this chapter. The preferred

MGX-FRSM-HS2, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, MGX-FRSM-2CT3 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology and infrastructure, providing solutions that drive innovation and efficiency for businesses worldwide. Among its diverse range of products, the MGX series stands out as a pivotal component for the network-centric era, especially with models like MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2. These modules are primarily designed for the MGX 8800 series routers, facilitating efficient traffic management and service delivery.

The MGX-FRSM-2CT3 is a versatile module that supports two T3 connections. It allows network operators to seamlessly integrate high-capacity circuit-switched and packet-switched data on a unified platform. This versatility is crucial for service providers looking to enhance their bandwidth offerings while ensuring reliable performance across voice, video, and data applications.

In contrast, the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 module caters to operators needing E3 support. This feature allows for efficient data transport over a broader bandwidth, catering to European standards. The E3 configuration is vital for service providers operating in Europe or regions that utilize E3 technology prominently.

The MGX-FRSM-HS2 module is another significant offering, designed to accommodate the increasing demand for high speed and high capacity. It supports higher-order TDM and packet technologies, enabling operators to implement advanced services such as VoIP, video conferencing, and other data-intensive applications. This module provides scalability and reliability, making it ideal for next-generation networks.

All three modules leverage Cisco’s advanced switching and routing technology, ensuring optimal performance and minimal latency. The integration of Quality of Service (QoS) features allows network administrators to prioritize traffic types effectively, ensuring mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Additionally, these MGX modules support various signaling protocols, enabling interoperability with existing network infrastructure while also facilitating the migration to newer technologies. They play an essential role in modernizing telecom networks, allowing service providers to adapt to changing market demands and technology landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2 modules are key components for businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their robust support for T3 and E3 technologies, high scalability, and advanced QoS features, these modules empower service providers to deliver a wide range of services, drive innovation, and meet the growing demands of users in an increasingly connected world.
