Chapter Circuit Emulation Service Modules
Circuit Emulation Service Module (8-port)
The 8-port Circuit Emulat ion Service Module (CESM) is a two-card set consisting o f an CESM function
module front card and either a 8-T1 or a 8-E1 line module back card. T1 lines u se RJ48 connectors, E1
line module cards use either RJ48 or SMB connector types. The possible line modules are
AX-RJ48-8T1-LM
AX-R-RJ48-8T1-LM
AX-RJ48-8E1-LM
AX-R-RJ48-8E1-LM
AX-SMB-8E1-LM
AX-R-SMB-8E1-LM
Up to 10 CESMs may be inst alled in a shelf in slots 5 through 14. For T1 line versions, 1:N redundancy
is supported either through redundant line modules or through the SRM-T1E1 board. Likewise, for
T1/E1 versions, BERT and loopbacks are supported using the SRM.
A 1:N redundancy for E1 version is provided through redundant line modules only.
The main function of the CESM cards is to provide a constant bit rate (CBR) service for T1/E1 ports
over ATM network.
The CESM converts DS1/E1 or da ta s tr eam s into CBR AAL1 cells for t r an spo r t a c ros s th e ATM
network. The T1/E1 versions support a choice of structured or unstructured data transfer on a
per-physical-inter fa c e basis.
The CESM card supports loopback diagnostics features through the addlnloop command.
Note The addchanloop command is not supported in the 8-port CESM.
Refer to the Cisco MGX 8220 Command Reference for details of these commands .

T1/E1 Structured Data Transfer

The T1/E1 structured data transfer mode supports
Synchronous timing only.
A nx64 Kbps Fractional DS1/E1 serv ice wit h cont ig uous tim e sl ots . Any nx64 kbp s chann el can be
mapped to any VC. Both SF and ESF framing modes are supported.
For AAL1 interworkin g co nversi on on ly, CAS ro b be d bit fo r T1 (A B CD fo r ESF a nd SF fram e s)
and CAS for E1 (Channel 16).
CCS channel transparently a s d ata .
Choice of partially filled cells.
Idle Suppression/Detection for 1x64 CAS connections only.

T1/E1 Unstructured Data Tr ansfer

The T1/E1 unstructured data transfer mode supports:
Both synchronous and asynchronous clocking.
