WAE-PORT (Wideband Access
Endpoint Port)
The Wideband Switching capability supports end-to-end connectivity between
customer endpoints at d ata rates from 128 to 1536 kbps over T1 facilities and to
1984 kbps over E1 facilities. DEFINITY switching cap abilities are extended to
support wideb and calls comp rised of multiple DS0s that are switched en d-to-end
as a single entity.
The Wideband Switching c apability extends the Ad ministered Connections
feature to include non-signa ling Wideband Acc ess Endpoints. Endpoint
application eq uipment with direct T1 or E1 interfaces may c onnect directly to the
switch’s line-side fac ilities. Application eq uipment without T1 or E1 interfaces
requires a Terminal Adapter, such as a DSU/CSU. The terminal adapter or
endpoint app lication equipment is c onnected to the Universal DS1 circuit p ack
(TN464C). These endpoints are administered as Ac cess Endpoints, and they
have no signaling interfac e to the switch. Instead, they simp ly transmit and
receive data. (Some applic ations detect and resp ond to the presence or
absence of data.) Calls a re initiated from these endpoints using the Administered
Connections feature.
Multiple Access Endp oints on one line-side UDS1 circuit pac k (TN464C) facility
are separate and distinc t within the facility, and the endpoint ap plication
equipment must be ad ministered to send and rec eive the correct data rate over
the correct DS0s. All Administered Con nections originating from Ac cess
Endpoints use the entire bandwid th administered for the Acc ess Endpoint. An
incoming call of a d ifferent data rate then that administered for the Access
Endpoint cannot be routed to the Access Endpoint.
Although Wideband Access Endpoints are used primarily for line-side facilities,
these endpoints can also b e administered on network DS1 facilities to c onnect
DEFINITY to non-switched network services, such as the AT&T fractional T-1
service. An example of this is the AT&T Static Integrated Network Acc ess, where
a trunk group to AT&T 4Ess Switched Services shares an access T-1 facility wit h
a Wideband Acc ess Endpoint. In this case, the Wideb and Access Endpoint is
connected to the AT&T fractional T-1 service, and it d oes not terminate on local
endpoint equip ment but is connected to a far-end CPE (for example, another
