Configuring T1/E1 Structured (n x 64) Circuit Emulation Services
This section provides an overview of structured (n x 64 Kbps) circuit emulation se rvices and describes
how to configure CES modules for structured circuit emulation services.

Overview of Structured Circuit Emulation Services

An important distinction between structured and unstructured circuit emulation services is that
structured circuit emulation services allow you to allocate T1/E1 bandwidth. Structured circ uit
emulation services only use the T1/E1 bandwidth actually required to support the active structured
circuit(s) you configure.
For example, configuring a CES module for structured services allows you to define multiple hard PVCs
or soft PVCs for any CES T1 or E1 port. In both module types, any bits not available for structured
circuit emulation services are used for framing and out-of-band control.
n x 64 refers to a circuit bandwidth (data transmission speed) provided by the aggregation of nx64-Kbps
channels, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The 64-Kbps data rate, or the DS0 c hannel, is
the basic building block of the T carrier systems (T1, T2, and T3).
The T1/E1 structured (n x 64) circuit emulation services enable a CES module to function in the same
way as a classic Digital Access and Crossconnect System (DACS) switch.
The Simple Gateway Control Protocol (SGCP) provides similar functionality by controlling structured
CES circuits for voice over ATM. For additional information see Configuring SGCP, page 19-56.
