ATM-DCH (ATM D-Channel Port)
NOTE:
TN230x circuit packs are not interc hangeable. Always replac e an ATM
circuit pack with th e same type.
This MO (ATM-DCH) utilizes the existing ISDN-PLK or D-channel maintenance
strategy with modifications. The ATM circuit pac k can be administered for up to 8
Circuit Emulation Service (CES) or signaling groups, ea ch with its own
D-channel, as opposed to one D-channel for an entire DS1 circuit p ack.
NOTE:
Due to the dual personalities and the number of D channels the ATM board
can possess, the in-line errors and signaling port LAN loo pback test have
been moved to the maintenanc e object ATM-TRK. When an in-line error is
sent due to PACKET BUS errors, the ATM circuit pack maintenance object
receives the error, not ATM-DCH.
The D-channel ISDN-PRI interface, which is emulated for ATM-CES, uses
out-of-band signaling to transmit control messages b etween two endpoints. User
information or bearer channels (B-c hannels) carry dig itized voice and di gital
data and are assigned to DS1 ISDN trunks or PRI endpoints. Call control
signaling for the B-chan nels is combined and carried over the separate
ISDN-PRI Signaling Link Port D-channel.
Problems with ATM-DCH affects all of the associated B-channels, sinc e call
control signaling c annot reach the far-end switch or ter minal adapter. Stable calls
may remain operational, but no new calls c an be made. ATM-DCH in turn
depends on the TN230X ATM Trunk circuit pack it resides on and the p acket bus
which provides the link to the p rocessor.
