FRASM Connections

6.Enter the add channel (addchan) command to specify the Frame Relay portion of the connection. This consists of specifying the DLCI and committed information rate (cir) for the channel.

addchan <chan_num> <port_num> <dlci_num> <cir>

<chan_num>

channel number is in the range 16–1015

<port_num>

port number is in the range 1–192

<dlci_num>

DLCI is in the range 0–1023

<cir>

committed information rate: 0–1536000 bps for T1; 0–2048000 bps for E1

 

(FRASM does not support E1)

7.Enter the add STUN route command (addstunroute) to establish a connection between the Frame Relay channel number and the link station.

addstunroute <port_num><lsaddress><chan_num><lsap>

<port_num>

port number of the STUN connection to be routed in the range 1–192

<lsaddress>

address of the SDLC LS in the range 0x01–0xFF

<chan_num>

channel number of the STUN connection to be routed in the range 16–1015

<lsap>

number in the range 0x01–0xFF (even numbers only)

BSTUN Connections

To complete the BSTUN connections, proceed as follows:

1.Enter the addln command to specify the physical port number (from 1 to 8), which is to be used for the BSTUN connection.

2.Enter the add BSTUN group command (addbstungroup) command to create a BSTUN group. This command is used to specify the group number and whether local acknowledge is to be implemented. When a BSTUN connection is made, the connection is assigned to a group in the add BSTUN port command.

3.Enter the addport command to specify a port number for the connection and to specify its parameters. Specify the port speed, the slot number, the encoding to be used and the type of DS0 interface. The port type field is used to specify the connection as a BSTUN connection. The role (primary, secondary, and so on) of the FRASM port to be used in the link protocol must be specified.

With its support for ATM and IP networks, the gateway can handle TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) to packet voice conversions efficiently. It is designed to optimize network resources by dynamically allocating bandwidth based on traffic requirements, thus ensuring efficient use of network resources and improved performance.

Another significant characteristic of the MGX 8220 is its enhanced quality of service (QoS) features. This capability ensures that voice and video traffic is prioritized appropriately, minimizing latency and jitter while maximizing overall call quality. By employing sophisticated traffic management techniques, the MGX 8220 can deliver a superior user experience, which is critical for any service provider aiming to offer competitive communication solutions.

Furthermore, the gateway includes built-in security features to protect against unauthorized access and ensure the integrity of sensitive data. This includes encryption for voice and video transmission, as well as support for secure signaling protocols.

Overall, the Cisco Systems MGX 8220 stands out as a comprehensive media gateway solution, providing essential functionalities for modern communication needs. Its combination of modularity, high-density processing, effective QoS management, and security features makes it a compelling choice for organizations looking to modernize their telecommunications infrastructure while ensuring reliability and performance. As businesses continue to evolve and demand more from their networks, the MGX 8220 offers a pathway to future-ready communications.
