■The pp VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate) virtual circuits between A500 ports A1.1
(PPN) and A1.2 (EPN) are used for signaling between the PPN and each
EPN.
■These are established once upon initialization under control of DEFINITY
Call Processing. They represent the ATM Control Link (ACL) and
Expansion Archangel Link (EAL).
■VBRnrt virtual circuits are also be used fo r ISDN channels between
Definity port networks.
■Other VBRnrt virtual circuits may exist between A500 p orts that are not
associated with DEFINITY port networks. A common use of VBRnrt circuits
is multimedia and video -conferencing systems.
