CESM cards are service modules that provide a CBR circuit emulation service by converting data
streams into CBR AAL1 cells for transport across an ATM network. The CESM supports the CES-IS
specifications of the ATM Forum.
The CESM cards allow individual physical ports to be configured for structured (channelized) or
unstructured (unchannelized) data transfer. The CESM allows circuit-based equipment, such as PBX s,
to be interconnected over an ATM backbone via CBR connections. The eight-port CESM cards support
both channelized (n x 64 kbps) and unchannelized (T1/E1) circuit-based equipment.
Synchronous clocking and asynchronous clocking, using either synchronous resid ual time stamp (SRTS)
or adaptive clock recovery, are both supported.
Dynamic bandwidth allocation is supported through on-hook/off-hook det ection that relinquishes
backbone bandwidth when it is not required by the applications. This allows other traffic streams, such
as VBR and ABR traffic, to take advantage of the bandwidth normally reserved for the circuit traffic.
