ACS-PRI/BRI Card Introduction Chapter 4 ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.1 Introduction The ACS-PRI/BRI server card (881162) uses 651xx firmware and offers users the ability to effectively terminate and manage both dedicated and switched carrier services in a single system. This capability allows users to pick the most cost-effective services for both permanent connections (e.g., LAN-to-WAN) and periodic connections (e.g., video conferencing). In addition it also enables originating and receiving calls to BRI cards.
Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Running Head Introduction 4.1.1.3 B Channel A B channel is a timeslot on any WAN link that is controlled by an ISDN D channel. B channel assignments to WAN links are used dynamically by the system as incoming and outgoing ISDN calls occur. In the system, every timeslot is either a B channel or a DS0. Users can define which is which via the D channel configuration screen described later in this chapter. 4.1.1.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.1.1.8 Introduction Trunks An ISDN trunk is a logical division of B channels pertaining to a D channel. It consists of one or more contiguous or non-contiguous B channels. All B channels in a trunk must belong to the same D channel. However, a trunk may be assigned across different physical interfaces when NFAS is used. 4.1.
Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Running Head Introduction Figure 4-2 shows an application where a user needs less than 23 B channels (say 6 B channels for video), and some dedicated DS0s (say 12 for LAN-WAN interconnect). In this case, the D channel, B channels, and the DS0s all run on the same facility from the equipment to the carrier.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card Introduction Figure 4-3 shows an application that requires 3 D channels. The user has ordered a 23B+D facility to each of two different carriers. The third facility is a local NFAS (47B+D) connection to the user’s PBX. In this application, the system will route calls from the PBX to the appropriate carrier based on called phone number (see Call Routing section later in this chapter).
Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Running Head Introduction 4.1.3 Network and User Side Protocols In the example application shown in Figure 4-3, there is an important difference between the two D channels terminating in the carrier switches and the D channel terminating in the user’s PBX. The ISDN signaling protocol that runs on the D channel is not symmetrical. Signaling messages are treated differently depending on whether the D channel is setup to run the network side protocol or the user side protocol.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card Introduction Figure 4-5 highlights the ability of the system to be able to set the protocol between network side and user side for each D channel it uses. Since the PBX can only run the user side protocol, the system must run the network side protocol on the D channel connected to the PBX. However, on the D channels connected to the carrier switches, the system must run the user side protocol.
Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Running Head Introduction 4.1.4 Call Routing The system can be simultaneously connected to several network and user side ACS-PRI/BRI facilities and to a user’s data terminal equipment (DTE) such as a video codec or a LAN router. The DTE is typically connected through one or more of the system’s HSU cards. 4.1.4.1 Calls Originating from an HSU Port Any call originating from an HSU port must be associated with a call profile (see Call Profiles section).
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.1.5 Introduction ISDN Trunks An ISDN trunk is a logical division of B channels pertaining to the same D channel. A D channel can have one or more trunks. Trunks cannot be used for local routing, so unless the user has more than one D channel, trunks will not apply to their system.
Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Running Head Introduction Thus, if local routing is disabled, any call coming into the system on a network side (i.e., local) D channel will be routed only to a user side D channel based on the called number. Even if the called number matches, such a call will never be routed to an HSU port or a network side D channel when local routing is disabled.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card • 4.1.7 Introduction A call from PBX #1 to 800-444-2095 will be routed to PBX #2 if local routing is enabled, but will be routed to Carrier B if local routing is disabled. Call Profiles A call profile is similar to a speed dial button on a telephone or fax machine. The user enters call profiles on the Interface Card and stores them in the system’s memory. The maximum number of call profiles is six.
Running Head Card Description ACS-PRI/BRI 4.2 ACS-PRI/BRI Card Description 4.2.1 ACS-PRI/BRI Card Description (881162) Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. The ACS-PRI/BRI card is an eight-port card that offers users the ability to effectively terminate and manage both dedicated and switched carrier services in a single system. Eight D channels can be managed from a single card. 4.2.1.1 Card Jumpers/Switch Settings The ACS-PRI/BRI card does not have any jumpers or switches on its mainboard. 4.2.1.

Running Head Card User Screens and Settings ACS-PRI/BRI Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. CREF The Call Reference number is a five digit number that uniquely identifies each call controlled by a specific D channel. A call reference number is valid only for the life of the call, and may be reused once the call is released. If the number is between 1-32768, it is an outgoing call from the system. If the number is 32769 or larger, the call is an incoming call to the system.

Running Head Configuring ISDN Features 4.4 Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Configuring ISDN Features When one or more T1 WAN links terminating in a system are provisioned for ACS-PRI/BRI, users must configure the system’s ISDN features before calls can be set up. Configuring ISDN features consist of the following four steps: 1. Assigning interface identifications to WAN link(s) 2. Assigning B channels to the D channel(s) 3. Coding the call-by-call service(s) to be used 4.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card Configuring ISDN Features You must assign an interface ID to any WAN link that will contain B channels before you will be able to assign the specific B channels to that facility. If you assign a B channel to a WAN that is not assigned an Interface ID, the system message, "Intf.ID must be uniquely identified," will appear when you try to activate the D channel. In the example shown in Figure 4-9, for D channel #1, the user plans to assign B channels on WAN 1-1, 1-2 and 2-1. Figure 4-9.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features 4.4.2 Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Assigning B Channels Choosing the “Bmap” option from the D channel configuration screen of the ISDN card screen brings up the subscreen shown in Figure 4-10. This figure shows a typical “Bmap” screen. It is a detailed map of all the WAN timeslots available to users as potential B channels.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.4.3 Configuring ISDN Features Assigning B Channels to One D Channel B channels are assigned to the highlighted D channel by placing the cursor in the row representing the WAN link (interface) and the column representing the timeslot. Pressing the “Enter” key will place a lowercase “b” in that timeslot (the "Enter" key toggles the "b" off and on). This indicates that you have designated this timeslot as a B channel to be controlled by the highlighted D channel.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Figure 4-12 shows the cross-connect screen for WAN 1-1 (see WAN chapter). Note that the D channel shows up on timeslot #24, the B channels appear in the proper timeslots, and the DS0s (in this case assigned to the card in user slot 5, port 1) also appear. Figure 4-12. WAN Cross-Connect Screen 4-24 IMACS System Release 5.1.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.4.4 Configuring ISDN Features Assignments for Two or More D Channels Previous paragraphs dealt with multiple B channels for a single D channel. Often, the system will be called upon to manage the ISDN communication for more than one D channel, as described earlier in this chapter. In Figure 4-13, D channel #2 is changed from stdby to conf and is assigned to timeslot #24 on WAN 1-2. Figure 4-13.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. If you check the BMap for D Channel #1 again, the screen in Figure 4-14 shows the B channels controlled by D channel #1 (the currently highlighted D channel) as “b”s, and the B channels for D Channel #2 as “2”s. In general, any B channel controlled by the highlighted D channel is shown as a “b”, and any B channel controlled by any other (non-highlighted) D channel is shown as the number of the D channel that controls it. Figure 4-14.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.4.5 Configuring ISDN Features B Channel Status Active B channels may need to be taken out of service periodically for testing or maintenance by the user or the carrier. Choosing the “sTatus” option from the "Bmap" screen not only allows the user to execute these options for individual B channels on an active D channel, but also to review changes made by the carrier. Highlight the specific B channel and press the command option in the Menu of Actions to perform the desired action.

ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.4.6 Configuring ISDN Features Assigning ISDN Trunks An ISDN trunk is a group of B channels belonging to a single D channel. It consists of one or more B channels either contiguous or non-contiguous. All B channels in a trunk must belong to the same D channel. However, a trunk may be assigned across different WAN links when NFAS is used. To access the Trunk Assignment screen, you must highlight the D channel on the Configuration screen and press “B” to access the B channel screen.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features 4.4.7 Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Routing ISDN Trunks To select a routing pattern for the ISDN trunks created in the previous section, users must access the Trunk Routing screen from the Configuration screen. Pressing “T” from the Menu of Actions will bring up the Trunk Routing screen. To add a new trunk routing pattern, users must press “A” from the Menu of Actions, which will bring up the screen shown as Figure 4-17. Figure 4-17.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card Configuring ISDN Features Another example of this procedure is shown in Figure 4-18. If you want a single incoming trunk group to be routed to only one outgoing trunk group, D channel #1, trunk group “A” is routed to D channel #2, trunk group “B.” The alternate routes 2-3 must contain the same information in alternate route #2. Since this is the only alternative route, if that route is busy, the unit will drop the call.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. Figure 4-19 shows the Services screen and the assignment of two mythical services (MASTERPIECE and BUSINESS PLAN) to D channel #1. The service codes of “01” and “02” were assigned by the carrier to these services. Remember to Save your work before returning to the top level D channel configuration screen. Note: Pressing the Clear command will erase all Service entries for the highlighted D channel. Figure 4-19.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card 4.4.9 Configuring ISDN Features Routing of Incoming Calls Call routing in the system is described in the introduction section of this chapter. Assignment of phone numbers for routing calls between D channels is done from the routing subscreen. Figure 4-20 shows the ISDN routing subscreen. It is accessed from the D channel configuration screen by pressing “o” (lowercase letter o). Figure 4-20.
Running Head Configuring ISDN Features Model ACS-PRI/BRI CardNo. If local routing is enabled (Route Local = yes), then any call coming in on a D channel will be routed to the first matching phone number, regardless of whether or not the match is for a local device. Any calls originating from an HSU port will be routed to the D channel specified in the call profile, regardless of the called number. 4.4.
ACS-PRI/BRI Card Configuring ISDN Features 4.4.11 Performance Monitoring Another special feature of the ACS-PRI/BRI card is the ability to track and log performance statistics on incoming and outgoing ISDN traffic for each D channel. The Performance Monitoring screen is accessed from the ACS-PRI/BRI main screen by highlighting the D channel with the cursor and pressing the "P" command from the Menu of Actions.

Model IPR CardNo. Running IPR Card Head Descriptions IPR supports SNMP for Ethernet, Frame Relay, IP and Routing MIBs. It uses the standard Ethernet encapsulation, utilizing 14 bytes Ethernet Header: Source Ethernet Address (6 bytes), Destination Ethernet Address (6 bytes), and a Protocol Type (2 bytes). IPR supports RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058) for dynamically discovering IP routes from adjacent IP routers on Frame Relay or Ethernet.

Model IPR CardNo. Running IPR WANHead Routing 5.4 IPR WAN Routing IPR is designed to provide a maximum level of flexibility to users with different IP WAN topology requirements. IPR supports hub-and-spoke topology, partially or fully meshed topology, point-to-point IP interfaces, multi-point IP interface, unnumbered IP interfaces or a combination of any of the above. Figure 5-4 shows the Hub-to-Spoke Topology. 5.4.
IPR Card Fully Meshed vs. Partially Meshed 5.5 Fully Meshed vs. Partially Meshed 5.5.1 Fully Meshed Frame Relay Network A single IP network number (or subnet) is assigned to an entire Frame Relay network. Most data links (such as Ethernet) assume transitivity on a logical network; that is, if node A can talk to node B, and node B can talk to node C, then node A should be able to talk to node C. This is not true on Frame Relay networks unless they are fully meshed.
Model IPR CardNo. Running Headvs. Partially Meshed Fully Meshed 5.5.2 Partially Meshed Frame Relay Network (Same IP Network) In this topology, router E (and all the IP nodes behind it) will not reach routers A, B and C (therefore, all the nodes behind them). This is because there is no direct path between E and A. In addition, all routing updates from router A will not be heard on routers D and E, and therefore routers D and E will have no idea about IP nodes behind router A (as well as B and C).
IPR Card 5.5.3 Fully Meshed vs. Partially Meshed Partially Meshed Frame Relay Network (Different IP Network) The Frame Relay router should be able to support different IP networks inside Frame Relay, so that partially meshed Frame Relay networks can be “split” into different full-meshed Frame Relay “subinterfaces.” This IP network comprises of routers A, B and C is called point-to-multipoint (or a group mode WAN interface).
Model IPR CardNo. Running Headvs. Partially Meshed Fully Meshed 5.5.4 Unnumbered IP Interface When using a point-to-point Frame Relay IP interface, it is sometimes very useful for a user not to assign an IP address to this Frame Relay interface, but rather to use an IP address of another interface (e.g. Ethernet) in order to conserve an IP address and reduce the addressing burden that might otherwise occur.
