Circuit Emulation Services (CES)

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration of Unstructured Circuit Emulation Services (CES) using Synchronous clocking and a Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC). Unstructured service means that the PVCs utilize the entire T1/E1 bandwidth. The ATM switch does not look into the T1/E1, but simply reproduces a stream of bits with clocking from the receiving port to the target port. Synchronous service assumes that synchronized clocks are available on each end. Therefore, no clocking information is transported in the ATM cell. Propagation of the clock source throughout the network is required. For a more detailed explanation on CES Services, please read An Introduction to Circuit Emulation Services.

Background Information

Assumptions

The sample configurations in this document are based on the following assumptions:

• This example uses synchronous clocking.

• PBX1 provides the clock source—primary reference source (PRS)—to the ATM network. See the diagram below.

• PBX2 is clocked from the same clock as PBX1 (from the service provider).

  Note: These clocks need to be same of the accuracy and need to be in phase.

• Framing on both PBXs is Extended Superframe (ESF). This is the default on the LS1010 so it does not need to be explicitly configured. However, we will configure it in this example for the sake of demonstration.

• The line-code on both PBXs is binary 8-zero substitution (B8ZS). This is the default on the LS1010 so it does not need to be explicitly configured. However, we will configure it in this example for the sake of demonstration.

• PVC 0/100 is used between 8540-MSR and LS1010.

• The distance between the PBX and the ATM switch is less than 110 feet on the CES PAM. This length is the default line build-out (lbo) so it does not need to be explicitly configured. However, we will configure it in this example for the sake of demonstration.

• The LS1010 is equipped with a FC-PFQ and the 8540MSR is equipped with the RP Stratum 3 clock. You need those cards to ensure good clocking recovery.

• The ATM Pseudo interfaces (ATM-Px/y/z) is created when the circuit is defined. Refer to this related documentation for more details.

Verify

Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.

To verify that the CES circuits are up on both sides, use the show ces interface command. See the sample output below:

ls1010#show ces interface cbr 12/1/0

Use the show atm vc command so that the PVC is established between the two ATM switches. See the sample output below:

8540-MSR#show atm vc int ATM-P3/1/3  

Interface   VPI   VCI   Type   X-Interface   X-VPI   X-VCI   Encap Status 

ATM-P3/1/3    0    16 SoftVC      ATM3/0/0       0     100             UP

LS1010#show atm vc int ATM-P12/1/3 

Interface   VPI   VCI   Type   X-Interface   X-VPI   X-VCI   Encap Status 

ATM-P12/1/3   0    16 SoftVC     ATM12/0/0       0     100             UP

To verify that there are no clocking slips, use the show ces circuit cbr x/y/z 0 command and see if the underflows or overflows are increasing. Make sure to use this command on the 8540-MSR side as well. See the sample output below:

ls1010#show ces circuit cbr 12/1/0 0
