Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping Introduction To route traffic from one device connected to the T-DAC to another device (also connected to the T-DAC) you must define a DS0 mapping (also called an internal connection or cross-connection). An internal cross-connection carries traffic between the two external devices via the T-DAC. The external devices can be (but are not limited to) a T1/E1 NTU, a G.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping The following types of internal connections can be defined (note that DSL connections cannot be defined for the 2616RC: • Between a DSL port and a T1/E1 WAN port • Between a DSL port and another DSL port • Between a DSL port and an H.110 bus port • Between a T1/E1 WAN port and another T1/E1 WAN port • Between a T1/E1 WAN port and the H.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping • Static Connection section where you can view the previously defined DS0 mappings (cross-connections) in the T-DAC (see section “Defined Mappings Table (Static Connections)” on page 72) DS0 mapping and in-band management When in-band management (see chapter 11, “In-band management” on page 149) is configured, some of the DS0’s bandwidth is no longer available for standard DS0 mapping.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping When Chassis Management Channel is implemented, the following guideline will assist in achieving maximum user-data throughput through the Model 3096RC T-DAC: • Total number of simplex DS0s used to map G.SHDSL and/or T1/E1 ports to and from another module must not exceed 2048.

Fallback Mapping help window Watch the following ports for a failure state The Watch the following ports for a failure state section parameters (see figure 19 on page 58) define the primary channel in a fallback mapping. Watch Port Type (daxWatchTypegshDSL) The port type for the primary channel port. Select one of the following values from the drop-down menu.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping To define value for the time slots parameter, you will enter a text string specifying which time slot numbers will be used for the channel. You must enter the text string using a prescribed notation comprised of the following elements: • Numerals—Use numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent time slot numbers • Comma—Use the comma (,) to separate non-contiguous timeslots.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping Fallback Port Type (daxFallbackTypegshDSL) This parameter defines the port type for the fallback channel. Select one of the following values from the dropdown menu: • none(0) • t1-e1(1) • gshDSL(4) (Model 3096RC) or iDSL(2) (Model 3196RC) • toH110(5) Note Selecting toH110(5) defines only the fallback transmit channel to the H.110 bus. You must also define the fallback receive channel from the H.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping Fallback Port Slots (daxFallbackSlotH110) This parameter defines which time slots will comprise the fallback receive channel from the H.110 bus to the T-DAC for the fallback mapping. Use the same notation as for Watch Port Slots (see section “Watch Port Slots (daxWatchSlot)” on page 62).

Deleting a Fallback Mapping To delete the Fallback Mapping displayed on the DS0 Fallback ID window: 1. In the drop-down menu for the Connection Status parameter, ensure that the value delete(1) is selected. 2. Click the Submit Query button to delete the connection (DS0 mapping).
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping Mapping Help Clicking on the Mapping Help button displays the DS0 Mapping Help window (see figure 20). The DS0 Mapping Help page provides a convenient online tutorial on how to use the T-DAC’s web management pages to define DS0 mappings (cross-connections). The tutorial includes definitions for all configurable parameters on the DS0 Mapping web page.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide Note 5 • DS0 Mapping Both channels of the connection can be T1/E1 or both sides can be G.SHDSL (Model 3096RC) or iDSL (Model 3196RC) or just the B channel could be configured (in the event you needed to create an H.110 loopback). The options are: • none(0) • t1-e1(1)—T1/E1 WAN ports for connection to a T1/E1 WAN line • gshDSL(4)—G.SHDSL ports for connection to a G.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping iDSL (Model 3196RC) ports; 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN ports; or 32 H.110 ports. Within each port type, port numbers begin with 1 and end with the total number of ports of that type (for example, 16 for G.SHDSL and 32 for H.110). For instance, to define a connection for channel A using the T-DAC’s third DSL modem port, you would select Port 3 as the value for Device Number A.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 5 • DS0 Mapping Although the first string above is valid syntax, the second string is easier to read, and more clearly shows what is going on. The following strings are also valid syntax: • 1-2,5,6,7,15 • 1-2,5,6-7,15 • 1-2,5-6,7,15 While the entries above would work, they are harder to grasp quickly than the first two examples.
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide Note 5 • DS0 Mapping You must define the same number of time slots for each side of the connection. In other words, the number of time slots defined for Slots A must be the same as the number of time slots defined for Slots B. To configure the time slots parameter, enter a text string specifying which time slot numbers will be used for the channel.

The following examples show how to define a T1/E1 management channel: • Frame Relay Management channel over the T1/E1 link. • A routed PPP management channel (IPCP). • A bridged PPP management channel (BCP).
Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 11 • In-band management To view whether a slot is used as a timeslot or a voice channel, click on the Channel Assignment link in the T1/E1 Link window.

Models 2616RC, 3096RC & 3196RC Admin Reference Guide 11 • In-band management Status. Once LCP has finished the negotiation of the configuration values, the link is in the UP state. But for data transfer to occur, the Network Control Protocol (NCP) must be established. In this example, the NCP is IPCP. The two possible states are: – DOWN, meaning the link is not yet in the UP state. (The UP state is typically reached upon completion of the LCP, Authorization/LQM phases.

This IP address should be a different subnet than the subnet of the T-DAC (i.e., the IP address assigned to the Ethernet port and the subnet defined via the IP mask). IP Mask is 255.255.255.255 by default. Change it to a subnet that will include both ends of the BCP channel and equipment on the other end of the BCP link. For example, 255.255.255.0. Status.

While IP filters are typically thought of as a security measure, many providers wish to limit some services a customer may have access to. These could include such things as limited access only to an e-mail server or proxy server.

Due to being permanent memory, the Flash memory eventually becomes filled. When this occurs, the memory must be cleared before accepting more messages. Some maximum number of messages may be stored in the Flash PROM before this storage area must be cleared.
