General Safety Instructions
The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of
telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual.

Safety Symbols
This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates
potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to
operator or service personnel.
Warning

Danger of electric shock! Avoid any contact with the marked surface while
the product is energized or connected to outdoor telecommunication lines.

Protective earth: the marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building
protective earth bus.

Some products may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label
with the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near
the optical transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached.
Warning Please observe the following precautions:
• Before turning on the equipment, make sure that the fiber optic cable is
intact and is connected to the transmitter.
• Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current.
• Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look
straight at the laser beam.
• The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard.
• Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those
specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!

Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this
product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance or
repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by
either the operator or the user.
Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may
be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a
fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,
energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry
or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is
provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lug
is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with a
diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racks
and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication
cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before
disconnecting the ground.

Connection of AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is
provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency
switch is installed in the building installation.

Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the
ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC
supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to
qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation
complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to
the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity
and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed form the DC circuit. Locate the
circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When
connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the
positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in
the building installation.
Connection of Data and Telecommunications Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from
the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.
Note that this is a general list; it does not imply that LA-110 has all these ports.

Ports Safety Status


V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT,
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually
Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2,
up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice
E&M
xDSL (without feeding voltage), TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:
Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the
limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from
telecommunications networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication networks are not possible. These
ports are not permitted to be directly connected to
external telephone and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:
(with feeding voltage), U-Interface
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the
ISDN
limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone
ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from
telecommunication networks are possible.

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a
qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do
not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The
earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of
contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are
restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating
connectors.
FXS Port
The FXS port of LA-110 is classified as TNV-3 per EN 60950 safety standard. The port will withstand
surges per ITU-T K.20 up to 1.5 kV without external current limiting circuits.

Caution To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.

Attention Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de
télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.

Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such
cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)


The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major
regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will
provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.
A good earth connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all
traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external
grounding lug is provided, connect it to the earth bus using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for
high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on
certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is
dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss
(LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary
protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building
installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD).
However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic
connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before
connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching earth ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist
strap.

Chapter 1
Introduction

1.1 Overview

Purpose
LA-110 is an advanced ATM Integrated Access Device (IAD) that provides voice,
data and LAN services over ATM networks for small and medium-sized businesses.
The services supported by LA-110 include:
• High-quality leased lines for analog voice or data
• ISDN BRI or PRI access
• High-speed data (serial and Frame Relay)
• Ethernet with MAC bridge and IP router for LAN-to-LAN or Internet access.
This wide range of services provides maximum flexibility for service integration,
ease of use and scalability. Moreover, LA-110 uses cost-effective xDSL lines for
connection to the ATM network, offering long range over widely available twisted
wire pairs.
LA-110 is a compact unit in a stylized plastic case with low power consumption
that can easily fit on any desktop, however it can also be installed in standard
equipment racks.

WAN Interfaces

Physical Interfaces
The LA-110 has one WAN (uplink) port, used to connect to the ATM network (this
port is often referred to as an uplink port). The WAN port can be ordered with one
of the following interfaces:
• 2-wire or 4-wire SHDSL interface in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.991.2
• ADSL interface in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 (Annex A). The
interface can be configured to use either echo canceling or frequency division
multiplex (FDM). In addition, the ADSL interface can be configured to support
signal formats defined in additional standards and particular implementations,
for example, ANSI T1.413, etc.
• E1 interface.

Overview 1-1
Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

ATM Network Interface


The ATM network interface provides an ATM user-network interface (UNI) per
ATM User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification (Version 3.1). The interface
supports the following ATM adaptation layers:
• AAL1 – used for transparent transport of serial data streams, and for circuit
emulation services (CES)
• AAL2 – used to provide ATM Forum Loop Emulation Services (LES), which
support PSTN and ISDN BRI and PRI access
• AAL5 – used for packet traffic (Frame Relay, Ethernet, IP).
The network port supports a wide range of ATM service categories (Classes of
Service – CoS in ITU-T terminology): CBR, VBR, UBR and UBR+. The LA-110
supports per-connection user-configurable traffic shaping and traffic contract
enforcing, for improved QoS and efficient utilization of the ATM uplink
bandwidth.

Local Interfaces
The LA-110 can be equipped with up to three local ports (see also the Versions
section below):
• LAN port
• Data port (ordering option)
• User port (ordering option).
The types and main characteristics of the local interfaces available for these
LA-110 ports are described below.

LAN Port
The LAN port has an Ethernet 10/100BaseT interface. The port operating rate
(10 or 100 Mbps) and operating mode (half or full duplex) can be determined by
autonegotiation, or by manual configuration. Automatic MDIX allows using straight
or crossed cables for the LAN connection.
Note The automatic MDIX is supported by the LA-110 units with the data and E1
interfaces.
The user can configure the LAN port to serve either as a MAC bridge or IP router:
• MAC Bridge. The MAC bridge can be configured with up to 16 WAN ports
(each using its own PVC). It can provide access-only functionality (between
LAN and WAN), or full bridge functionality (LAN access and switching among
the WAN ports). The MAC bridge accepts static MAC addresses.
In the MAC bridge mode, LA-110 can be configured to transfer PPP over
Ethernet (PPPoE) traffic.
• VLAN Handling. LA-110 bridge operation supports VLAN-unaware and
VLAN-aware modes. One bridge port is configured on the Ethernet side and
up to 16 ports on the ATM side. LA-110 supports up to 16 VCs that can be
assigned to the bridge ports (up to 3 VCs per bridge port in order to handle
priority-tagged frames). Depending on the LA-110 position in the network, the
bridge can be configured to permit or prohibit VC to VC traffic.

1-2 Overview
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

In the VLAN-unaware mode, LA-110 forwards packets according to their


MAC address only. VLAN tags are ignored and remain intact when passing
from the bridge.
In the VLAN-aware mode, the LA-110 bridge learns, floods and forwards
packets according to the MAC and VID values. The packets can be
forwarded only to the bridge ports that are members of the packet’s VID, or
if it was appended to it during the ingress process.
• IP Router. The IP router supports static routing and user-selectable routing
protocols (RIP1 and/or RIP2). The user can configure 1 or 2 IP ports on the
LAN side (sharing the physical LAN port), and up to 16 WAN ports (each using
its own PVC). The user can also configure a separate host IP port for router
management, for example, for RIP updates.
In addition to routing functions, the IP router can also provide
user-configurable DHCP relay or server services, and various types of address
translation services (NAT/NAPT and PAT).
In the IP router mode, the LA-110 can be configured to use encapsulation per
RFC2684 (which replaces RFC1483), or transfer the traffic using PPP over ATM
(PPPoA). The user can select the PPP transport method (VC multiplexing or
LLC encapsulation) per RFC2364. For PPP traffic, the LA-110 supports PAP
and CHAP client authentication.
DNS Relay
• LA-110 can be activated as a DNS relay. The hosts on the Local LAN initiate
DNS requests to the LA-110, and then LA-110 forwards the DNS requests
toward the DNS server (the address of the DNS server is given by the PPP
mechanism). The reply from the DNS server is forwarded to the host by
LA-110.
Firewall
In order to provide a security environment to the network, LA-110 has a built-in
firewall that tracks and controls the flow of the communication.

Optional Data Port


The data port is a synchronous serial port with DCE interface. The interface type is
V.35or X.21. The port can be configured to operate at rates of n×64 kbps in the
range of 64 to 2048 kbps.
The service type is user-configurable:
• Transparent transmission of serial data stream
• Frame Relay service for connection to Frame Relay equipment. Up to 16
DLCIs are supported. The user can select between service interworking per
FRF.8 and network interworking per FRF.5.

Optional User Port


The optional user port can be ordered with one of the following configurations:
• Voice Interfaces. These interfaces support voice-over-DSL (VoDSL)
applications. You can order one of the following voice interfaces:

Overview 1-3
Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Four analog voice/fax ports with FXS interfaces (POTS service). Each FXS
interface provides feed current, on-hook/off-hook detection and ringing to
the user’s phone set. The FXS ports include near-end echo canceling.
Four ISDN S0 BRI ports for connection to user’s ISDN terminals (service).
Each port carries two payload (B) channels, for a total of 8 payload
channels. The interface type, NT or TE, is selectable. NT interfaces provide
phantom feed to user’s terminals.
Voice is transmitted using toll-quality 64 kbps PCM modulation per ITU-T Rec.
G.711, with user-selected companding law (A-law or µ-law). To reduce the
uplink bandwidth needed for voice transmission, voice compression using
32 kbps ADPCM encoding per ITU-T Rec. G.726 can be ordered.
In addition to PCM/ADPCM conversion, the ADPCM digital signal processor
also performs echo canceling for ISDN channels; if ADPCM is not used, echo
canceling for ISDN channels can be separately ordered.
The voice channels enable full-service access to PSTN or private networks via
voice gateways supporting the ATM Forum Loop Emulation Services (LES)
standard. AF-VMOA-0145.000. LA-110 also supports the Emulated Loop
Control Protocol (ELCP), which enables the voice gateway to remotely
configure the voice channels operational profile.
For compatibility with national implementations, the PSTN signaling
characteristics are user-selectable.
• E1 (2048 kbps) Port. The LA-110 can be equipped with one E1 port
complying with ITU-T Rec. G.703. The port has two interfaces, 120Ω
balanced and 75Ω unbalanced; at any time, only one interface can be active.
The operating mode of this port can be configured for a wide range of
applications. The supported modes depend on the user-selected AAL:
AAL1: G732N or G732S framed service, with or without support for CRC-4
in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.706. When G732S framing is used, the
E1 port supports channel-associated signaling (CAS). CAS enables
connection to digital PBXs and other TDM equipment (multiplexers, digital
cross-connect (DXC) switches, etc.).
When using the framed mode, the E1 signal is transported using the ATM
Circuit Emulation Service (CES) Version 2.0, AF-VTOA-0078.000. The
LA-110 supports two CES modes:
Structured CES mode: LA-110 handles the incoming signal as
independent user-defined bundles of N × 64 kbps channels that can be
independently routed over different VC connections
Unstructured CES mode: LA-110 handles the incoming signal as a single
bit stream transported over a single VC connection.
For optimum utilization of available uplink bandwidth, dynamic bandwidth
CES (DB-CES) is also supported. When using DB-CES, the LA-110 uses the
voice channel activity information carried by CAS to request uplink
bandwidth when the channel is active (off-hook) and release the bandwidth
when the channel is idle (on-hook).
When the optional ADPCM voice compression and echo canceller option is
installed, the user can select for each individual timeslots the modulation
type (PCM or ADPCM) and the use of echo canceling.

1-4 Overview
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

With AAL1, the E1 port can also be configured for unframed (transparent)
service. In this mode, the 2.048 Mbps signal received by the LA-110 E1
port is transparently transferred on a bit-by-bit basis.
AAL2: when AAL2 is selected, the LA-110 uses LES for voice support, with
or without ELCP. The user can select from a range of application identifiers,
which determine the supported signaling methods:
CAS signaling (always without ELCP)
PSTN signaling (providing V5.2 functionality) for voice channels, with or
without ELCP
Digital Signaling System 1 (DSS1) for ISDN BRI and PRI, with or without
ELCP.
The voice service characteristics are similar to those described above for
FXS and ISDN ports.
When the ELCP protocol is enabled, the voice gateway can control the
profile in use (however, some functions depend on whether the optional
ADPCM voice compression and/or echo canceller option is installed). The
profile determines the modulation type (PCM or ADPCM), as well as the
utilization of the individual timeslots. Moreover, with ELCP, the voice
gateway can automatically download the required voice and ISDN channel
configuration without requiring manual configuration activities (a feature
referred to as plug-&-play channel configuration).
With AAL2, the E1 port can also be configured for remote access ISDN PRI,
using DSS1 with ELCP support. The user can specify the active timeslots on
the PRI trunk.
In addition, LA-110 accepts E1 UNI data stream and transmits it
transparently over SHDSL line.

Versions
The local interfaces that can be ordered for each of the three ports described
above depend on the uplink (network) interface type. Table 1-1 lists the LA-110
versions in accordance with the interfaces that can be ordered for each type of
network interface.

Overview 1-5
Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Management

Management Functions
The LA-110 has a local management subsystem that controls the operation of all of
its circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces, including
inband and out-of-band (SNMP) management, Telnet, and local management via
an ASCII terminal or a Web browser. RADview management software is also
available to support large networks.
The local management subsystem can communicate through the following ports:
• Dedicated serial RS-232 port, intended for direct connection to a simple ASCII
terminal (or a PC running any terminal emulation utility). The port provides
access to the entire available configuration, diagnostics, performance and
alarm monitoring functions. All the necessary software is stored in LA-110; no
data is stored in the terminal.
• Inband management via the ATM uplink, using SNMP or Telnet. Telnet has the
same capabilities and uses the same procedures as the terminal. The LA-110
SNMP agent supports all the standard MIBs for E1, xDSL, Frame Relay, CES
and DB-CES as well as the private RAD MIBs.
• Out of band management via the LAN port using SNMP and Telnet. This
option is supported when the LAN port is configured to use the IP router.
The operation of the LA-110 management subsystem and of its other circuits is
determined by software stored in flash memory. The software can be updated
from a remote central location, using TFTP or from a terminal directly connected
to the LA-110 serial control port.

Automatic Configuration Options (Plug & Play)


The LA-110 is designed to enable automatic configuration from a remote location,
without requiring the intervention of an operator (plug & play functionality).
Plug & play means that after the LA-110 is installed and connected to its operating
environment, the unit needs only to be powered up. The LA-110 supports two
automatic configuration methods:
• Fully automatic configuration using DHCP in conjunction with TFTP. To use
this method, the using organization must configure a DHCP server, located at
an appropriate location within the operator’s network management center.
When the LA-110 is powered up, it automatically starts operating as a DHCP
client and broadcasts a DHCP server discovery message.
When the dedicated DHCP server answers, it provides the IP address to be
configured as the LA-110 inband management address and information
needed to retrieve a configuration file from a TFTP server. The LA-110 then
uses the parameters received from the DHCP server to retrieve its
configuration file using TFTP, and starts using the downloaded configuration.
• Alternative mechanism based on automatic learning of its inband management
IP address. This mechanism is active as long as the default parameter values
are in effect: LA-110 then learns its inband management IP address from the
destination IP address carried in the first IP packet received through the default
inband management VCC. This is sufficient for Telnet access.

1-6 Overview
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Moreover, if the first packet is an SNMP packet, LA-110 also adds the source IP
address as a manager. After learning these parameters, the plug-&-play
functionality is disabled, and the LA-110 is subject to the regular management
and configuration rules. TFTP can then be used to download a configuration file.
Note Whenever necessary, the plug-&-play functionality can be enabled again by
restoring the factory-default parameters.
The automatic configuration method used by the LA-110 upon power-up is
determined by its factory-default parameters, specified at ordering time.

Alarm Collection
The LA-110 management subsystem monitors on-line critical functions. The
subsystem generates time-stamped alarm messages that cover all the system
events. The time stamp is provided by an internal real-time clock. The alarm
messages can be read on-line by means of the local supervisory terminal or a Telnet
host, and are automatically sent as traps to selected management stations.
The alarms log file can also be sent, using TFTP, to a remote host.

Diagnostics and Statistics


LA-110 offers comprehensive diagnostics and statistics for all its ports and network
layers. The LA-110 supports the following diagnostics and statistics functions:
• Collection of application layer performance statistics
• ATM layer performance statistics and control (OAM support). The end-to-end
and segment QoS is evaluated using F5 OAM cells, including AIS, RDI, LB, CC
and activation cells.
• Physical layer diagnostics: loopback tests and performance statistics.
The collected data enables the system administrator to monitor the transmission
performance, and thus the quality of service provided to users, for statistical
purposes, and can also be used to identify transmission problems.
In addition, the LA-110 supports the ICMP ping function for IP connectivity
testing.

Figure 1-1. Typical Application

The uplink (WAN) side of each LA-110 is connected to the ATM network via a
DSLAM, using SHDSL or ADSL. The range over SHDSL or ADSL, when using a
single twisted pair, can be up to several kilometers.
In the applications shown in Figure 1-1, LA-110 units serve several phones (POTS
or ISDN terminals), digital PBX and various types of data equipment.
The voice traffic received through the FXS (POTS) and ISDN user ports is carried
over AAL2. The use of AAL2 allows dynamic use of bandwidth, and also enables
multiple voice circuits to be carried simultaneously over a single VC using ELCP.
The voice traffic is terminated at a voice gateway, which provides the connection
to the PSTN through V5.2 trunks.
The E1 port can be used as a voice port over AAL2. In addition, the port can also
be used as a fractional E1 port over AAL1. In this case, the port supports voice and
data traffic, with selectable service characteristics that meet the requirements of a
wide range of applications.

1-8 Typical Applications


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

The data traffic supported by the Ethernet LAN port, or by the data port (either
serial synchronous data or Frame Relay traffic) is carried on AAL5, with the ATM
service category (UBR, UBR+, VBR or CBR) being selected in accordance with the
application requirements. Data traffic transported through the ATM network is
terminated at the Broadband Access Server (BAS). The BAS converts the ATM data
streams into IP packets for Internet access.
Additional details on the wide range of services supported by the LA-110 and its
various capabilities are given below.

LAN Services
The LA-110 LAN port supports autonegotiation, for automatic adaptation to the
operating mode of the Ethernet LAN to which it is connected.
The LAN port can be configured to operate either as a MAC bridge, or as an IP
router.
• The MAC bridge provides Layer 2 connectivity with transparent VLAN support
for the user’s equipment. PPPoE traffic can also be transparently transferred.
• The IP router provides Layer 3 connectivity. Routing can be based on the
RIP1, RIP2 or both; static routes can also be defined. For flexibility, two LAN
ports can be defined over the physical LAN port of the LA-110, with their IP
addresses in different subnets.
Note When the LAN port is configured as bridge, an inband management IP address must
be defined.
When the LAN port is configured as IP router, the LA-110 management subsystem
also uses the IP addresses of the ports for out-of-band access.
Both the MAC bridge and the IP router can be configured to support multiple
WAN connections (up to 16) for routing to different destinations. Each connection
is defined over a separate PVC. The user can configure for each PVC the ATM
connection parameters, and therefore can control the uplink bandwidth that may
be used for each destination.
Figure 1-2 shows a basic application using the LA-110 LAN services to provide
Internet access to the user’s equipment connected to its LAN port. The LA-110
data and user ports may also be used together with the LAN port, however for
clarity in Figure 1-2 only the utilization of the LAN port is shown.
An important advantage of LA-110 is that it can provide all the additional services
normally available on standalone IP routers:
• DHCP services. The LA-110 can be configured in accordance with the user’s
application requirements either as a DHCP relay or server:
In the DHCP relay mode, the LA-110 relays DHCP requests from the LAN
port to a specified DHCP server on the WAN, which provides the actual
configuration parameters.

Typical Applications 1-9


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• Network Address Translation/Network Address/Port Translation (NAT/NAPT)


services. NAT/NAPT enables the user to assign private IP addresses to the
stations connected to the LAN, and temporarily assign a global IP address
when any station needs access to the “outside” world. This enables converting
a large number of private IP addresses to a smaller number of global IP
addresses, or even to a single IP address.
• Port Address Translation (PAT). PAT complements NAT/NAPT by allowing
outside access to certain stations on the LAN, although they are assigned
private addresses.
• Support for PPP traffic, including PAP and CHAP client authentication and
selection of the transport method (VC multiplexing or LLC encapsulation per
RFC2364).

Leased Line Services over ATM


The LA-110 can be used as an ATM CSU/DSU to provide leased line services over
ATM networks, using SHDSL over the existing twisted pair infrastructure for
connection to a DSLAM.
LA-110 can be ordered with both E1 and serial data ports, and the LA-110 can
provide leased line services for both ports as long as the total required bandwidth
does not exceed the uplink bandwidth.
Note The data port can also be used for Frame Relay services instead of leased line
services, as explained in the Frame Relay Support over ATM section below.
Figure 1-3 shows a leased line application using the LA-110. In this application, the
LA-110 enables interconnecting routers with serial interfaces (for example, X.21 or
V.35) to the WAN, over the ATM connection. In addition, Figure 1-3 shows the
LA-110 used to provide a fractional E1 link for interconnecting two digital PBXs
with E1 trunks.

Handling of Data Port Traffic


When configured for data stream applications, the data port transmits the serial
data stream transparently through the ATM connection at the CBR service
category. Therefore, the AAL1 stream mode supports any Layer 2 protocol.
The data traffic is transported using AAL1 encapsulation and a cell structure similar
to that specified in the ATMF CES Interoperability Specification. The user can
select between the structured and unstructured cell structures (for the 64 kbps
rate, the selection is between structured service with, or without pointer).
Note For additional details on the various standards, refer to Appendix F.
The supported data rates are N × 64 kbps, in the range of 64 to 2048 kbps.
Only a single ATM connection (PVC) can be defined for the data port. Figure 1-4
shows the use of the LA-110 data port in a typical AAL1 stream application.

Figure 1-4. Typical AAL1 Stream Application

Handling of E1 Port Traffic


For leased line applications, the traffic received at the E1 port is always
encapsulated using AAL1 at the CBR service category. When using AAL1, the user
can select the framing mode: G732N, G732S or unframed.
The other characteristics can be adapted to the specific application requirements:
• Unframed mode: enables transparent (bit-by-bit) transmission of a 2048 kbps
ITU-T Rec. G.703 signal, irrespective of its framing structure and contents
(voice, data, video, and any proprietary framing).
This service is similar to the transparent AAL1 stream mode supported for the
data port, and it also uses a cell structure similar to that specified in the ATMF
CES Interoperability Specification. The user can select between the structured
and unstructured cell structures. When using the unframed mode, only a single
ATM connection (PVC) can be defined for the E1 port.

Typical Applications 1-11


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

There are applications that need using the unframed mode even when the
user’s signal has a standard frame format. The unframed mode is necessary
when timeslot 0 of a standard frame format (G732N, G732S, etc.) must be
transferred transparently, end-to-end, through the ATM network. This permits
free use of the national bits, Sa4 to Sa8, end-to-end monitoring of the alarm
status and end-to-end monitoring transmission performance using the CRC-4
function (see Appendix F for a description of these functions).
Note RAD proprietary management protocol, as implemented in Megaplex, DXC and
other RAD TDM equipment, can use the national bits for inband management.
• Framed modes (G732N, G732S ). In the framed modes, timeslot 0 is always
terminated at the E1 interface; for G732S framing, timeslot 16 is also
terminated.
When using a framed mode, the user must define timeslot utilization. The
utilization is defined by configuring timeslot bundles. A bundle can include
any number of timeslots (that is, its rate is n×64 kbps), however any particular
timeslot may be included in only one bundle. The allowed number of
timeslots, n, depends on the framing mode:
G732S framing: 1 to 30 timeslots. Timeslot 16 cannot be included in a
bundle, because it carries the channel-associated signaling (CAS)
information. This is the framing mode usually selected for connection to the
digital E1 trunk of a PBX. Figure 1-5 shows the LA-110 used to provide
fractional E1 services for connecting the digital trunk of the PBX at one site,
for example, at the headquarters, to other digital PBXs located at other sites
(branch offices).
G732N framing: 1 to 31 timeslots.

The ATM connection (PVC) and the associated parameters of each bundle can
be independently configured. The user can also select the connection type for
each bundle:
CES. The E1 N × 64 kbps structured mode is used. For this connection type,
the user can enable or disable the transmission of signaling information
(CAS – available when G732S framing is used). Signaling is usually ignored
when the bundle timeslots carry data, but is necessary for voice channels,
for example, in the application shown in Figure 1-5.

1-12 Typical Applications


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

The payload carried by timeslots is transparently transferred, even when the


LA-110 includes the voice compression (ADPCM) option: ADPCM and
echo canceling can be used only when using AAL2 (LES). Therefore, DTMF,
fax and modem signals always pass transparently.
DB-CES: dynamic bandwidth utilization for 64 kbps timeslot trunking using
CES. The DB-CES uses the E1 N × 64 kbps structured mode, together with
a method for dynamic bandwidth utilization, which is based on the
detection of voice channel activity.
This connection type uses the signaling information (CAS) to determine
whether a channel is in use or not, and therefore requires the G732S
framing mode. Bandwidth is therefore allocated on the uplink only for
active channels: any bandwidth not actually needed becomes available to
the other LA-110 ports. This capability may also be used in the application
shown in Figure 1-5.
Transparent mode: the bundle is transferred using the unstructured mode.
This is suitable for fractional E1 service: the timeslots included in the bundle
carry a n×64 kbps serial data stream, and this stream is transparently
transferred over the ATM network.
Note For additional details on CES and DB-CES, refer to Appendix F.

Frame Relay Support over ATM


The LA-110 data port can be configured to support Frame Relay services. The user
can select the Frame Relay management protocol in accordance with the LA-110
operating environment: ITU-T Rec. Q.933, LMI or ANSI T1.617, and the protocol
version (user side, network side or both).
The Frame Relay mode is supported over AAL5.
In the Frame Relay mode, the LA-110 data port can be used to interconnect
legacy Frame Relay equipment, for example, routers, over the ATM network, or
connect between Frame Relay and ATM terminals.
LA-110 supports up to 16 DLCIs. In addition, the user can select the Frame Relay
interworking mode: service interworking per FRF.8 or network interworking per
FRF.5.

Network Interworking Mode


The network interworking mode, defined in FRF.5, is used to interconnect Frame
Relay equipment through an ATM network. A basic application is shown in
Figure 1-6.
In the network interworking mode, the ATM connection (PVC) can be used to
carry either a single Frame Relay logical connection (a mode called one-to-one
connection) or multiplex several logical connections (up to 16) on the same PVC.
In the latter mode (called many-to-one connection), the ATM connection
parameters defined by the user apply to all the DLCIs multiplexed on the same
PVC.
The user can configure the way the Frame Relay traffic control parameters are
converted to the cell loss priority indicator used on the ATM connection.

equipment unit with Frame Relay interface to an equipment unit with ATM
interface. A basic application is shown in Figure 1-7. The user can define the
desired ATM connection parameters in accordance with the application
requirements.
To enable interworking between Frame Relay and ATM equipment, it is necessary
to define the conversion parameters:
• Protocol handling method: header encapsulation or translation between
RFC2427 (RFC1490) on the Frame Relay side to RFC2684 (RFC1483) on the
ATM side, and the CRC mode on the Frame Relay side (CRC-16 or CRC-32)
• Conversion between Frame Relay traffic control parameters and the cell loss
priority indicator used on the ATM connection.

VoDSL over LES


The Loop Emulation Service (LES) using AAL2 is used to provide voiceband
services over bandwidth-constrained ATM connections, for example, connections
using DSL systems (this type of service is referred to as voice over DSL, or VoDSL).
LA-110 supports LES for each of the three user port types that may be installed:
FXS, ISDN or E1.
LES enables establishing connections between an end user to a destination
reached through a PSTN, and therefore requires transferring signaling information
from the end user’s equipment (phone, ISDN terminal, PBX, etc.) to a dedicated
equipment unit, called voice gateway, located at a central office or local exchange.
Figure 1-8 shows the LA-110 used in VoDSL applications over LES. The voice
traffic received through the FXS or ISDN user ports is carried over the ATM
network on one PVC and is terminated at a voice gateway, which provides the
connection to the PSTN through V5.2 trunks.
Note In addition to the voice traffic, the LA-110 can also support data traffic, for example,
LAN traffic, carried on AAL5 with the ATM service category (UBR, UBR+, VBR or
CBR) selected in accordance with the application requirements.

In addition to LES, LA-110 also supports the Emulated Loop Control Protocol
(ELCP). ELCP enables the voice gateway to perform channel activation and user
port control functions.
With ELCP, the E1 user port can also be configured to support ISDN PRI remote
access. This mode provides 30 payload timeslots, and an additional timeslot is
needed for the D channel.
When the number of timeslots needed for user’s traffic is smaller, the user can
configure the E1 port for fractional E1 utilization. In this case, the user specifies the
timeslots in use. This releases more uplink bandwidth for the other LA-110 ports.

port.

Figure 1-9. Using LES over AAL2 for Voice Traffic Carried by the LA-110 E1 Port

To ensure compatibility, the voice gateway and the VoDSL end user’s equipment
can be preconfigured for the most common application environments, by
specifying an application identifier. The application identifiers supported by the
LA-110 are as follows:
• LES using CAS for POTS & DSS1 for BRI (without ELCP)
• LES using PSTN for POTS & DSS1 for BRI (without ELCP)
• LES using PSTN for POTS & DSS1 for BRI (with ELCP)
• LES using PSTN for POTS & DSS1 for PRI and BRI (with ELCP)
• LES using DSS1 for remote access PRI (PRI only, with ELCP).

Typical Applications 1-15


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

With LES, an ATM connection can carry multiple types of traffic, for example,
multiple analog voice channels and ISDN BRI channels, each with its associated
signaling information, over the same PVC. When ELCP is not used, it is necessary
to use CAS signaling; with ELCP, it is necessary to use CCS signaling.
Note DTMF signaling is transparently transferred, as any analog signal.
The discrimination among the different channels carried over the same PVC is
made by assigning a channel identifier (CID). The lowest channels (up to 15) are
reserved for the protocol traffic; the other channels can be assigned CIDs in the
range of 16 to 223.
LES, together with the ELCP protocol, supports features that increase bandwidth
utilization and enhance versatility:
• Idle call suppression – enables setting up a connection when a channel
becomes active, and releasing the uplink bandwidth when a call is no longer
active.
• Silence detection and removal. This feature detects the short intervals of
silence occurring during an active call. The beginning and end of the intervals
are marked by special codes, and bandwidth is released for other users. At the
receiving end, a comfort noise generator fills the silence intervals with an
adequate level of background noise.
• Control over the voice encoding method, using predefined profiles in
accordance with ITU-T Rec. I.366.1 and I.366.2. The supported profiles are 7
to 12; LA-110 without the ADPCM option supports only profile 9. The profiles
actually control three parameters:
The supported voice encoding methods
The use of silence detection
The number of payload bytes in an AAL2 cell.
• Control over echo cancellation. When a channel uses an echo canceller, the
canceller is temporarily disabled when the voice gateway detects fax or
modem signals in that channel.
• Transport of wideband data: when using ADPCM, the voice gateway will
switch a channel to PCM while the channel carries a wideband modem signal,
and then return to the regular profile.
Another advantage of LES is plug-&-play configuration of voice channels, which
enables starting service immediately, without requiring manual configuration. The
LA-110 supports plug-&-play as follows:
• When using LES using CAS for POTS & DSS1 for BRI (without ELCP), the
default CID allocation is in accordance with ATMF standard. The default
allocation is described in Table 1-2: if the voice gateway uses the same
assignment, voice service can start as soon as the ATM connection is
established.
• When using an application identifier supporting ELCP, all the connections are
assigned CID = 0, and the voice gateway assigns the actual CID when a voice
path must be connected (the voice gateway used CID = 8 for this purpose).

Network Interface Subsystem


The LA-110 network port can be ordered with one of the following interfaces:
• 2-wire SHDSL interface
• 2/4-wire SHDSL interface
• ADSL interface
• E1 interface.
For a description of the main SHDSL, ADSL and E1 characteristics, refer to
Appendix F.

SHDSL Network Interfaces


The 2/4-wire SHDSL interface complies with ITU-T Rec. G.991.2 and ETSI TS
101524-1 and uses TC-PAM line coding. The user can select various physical layer
parameters for best match to the specific characteristics of the equipment
connected to the other end of the link.
The operating mode of the LA-110 network interface is normally STU-R (SHDSL
terminal unit – remote), which is the mode suitable for use at the CPE side. In this
mode, the LA-110 synchronizes to the clock provided by the equipment
connected to the other end of the SHDSL link, usually a DSLAM.
However, for maintenance purposes, the network interface can also be configured
as STU-C (SHDSL terminal unit – CO side). The SHDSL port can be configured to
carry data rates of 192 to 2304 kbps over 2-wire, or 384 (each pair is 192 kbps) to
4608 (each pair is 2304) over 4-wire; the corresponding line rates are 8 kbps
higher, because of the SHDSL overhead. The line rates for 2-wire are: 200, 392,
520, 776, 1032, 1160, 1544, 2056 and 2312 kbps. Using a lower line rate
increases the range, as shown in Table 1-3. When you configure for 4-wire, the
rate you select will be applied to each pair, i.e. if you select 200 kbps for 4-wire,
each pair will be 200 kbps, giving a total of 400 kbps.

1-20 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

The actual data rate can be automatically selected during the link setup process,
and can be adapted during operation to cope with changing transmission
conditions. For example, increased interference may decrease the rate, however
the link will return to the highest possible rate as soon as the conditions return to
normal.

2432 to 3072 kbps – 3.95 km
3200 to 4624 kbps – 3.34 km

ADSL Interface
The ADSL interface complies with ITU-T G.992.1 Annex A and ETSI ETR328, and
uses DMT line coding. The user can select between echo canceling and frequency
division multiplex (FDM), and can also select various physical layer parameters for
best match to the specific characteristics of the equipment connected to the other
end of the link. In addition, the ADSL interface can be configured to support signal
formats defined in additional standards, for example, ANSI T1.413, and several
widely used particular implementations.
The operating mode of the LA-110 network interface is ATU-R (ADSL terminal unit
– remote), which is the mode suitable for use at the CPE side. In this mode, the
LA-110 synchronizes to the clock provided by the equipment connected to the
other end of the ADSL link, usually a DSLAM.
The data rates are up to 8 Mbps in the downstream direction and up to 1 Mbps in
the upstream direction.
E1 Interface
The E1 interface complies with ITU-T Rec. G.704, G.706, G.732, G.823
requirements. The jitter performance complies with ITU-T Rec. G.823. The E1
network interface uses G732N or G732S framing, with or without CRC-4. The
maximum payload rate of the E1 uplink is 1664 kbps. The E1 network port
supports balanced (120Ω) and unbalanced (75Ω) interfaces.
The E1 network interface operating in the following timing modes: Loopback,
Derived from User, Internal.

Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

ATM Processor
Note For a description of the ATM environment, refer to Appendix F.

Payload Processing
The ATM processor provides an ATM user-network interface (UNI) in accordance
with the ATM User-Network Interface (UNI) Specification (Version 3.1).
The processor can receive data from the following sources:
• Ethernet payload processor
• Data port
• User port (through a PCM bus and timeslot assigner)
• Management subsystem.
The ATM processor performs segmentation and reassembly (SAR) for each of the
data streams received through the various user ports and formats the flow associated
with each ATM connection in accordance with the applicable AAL cell structure.
The various type of AAL are used as follows:
• AAL1 – for transparent transport of data received from the data port, and from
the E1 user port when providing circuit emulation services (that is, when
operating in the CES, DB-CES and transparent modes).
• AAL2 – for transport of voice traffic using LES. Voice traffic may be received
from the user ports (FXS, ISDN BRI and PRI access, and PSTN access).
• AAL5 – used for packet traffic: Frame Relay traffic received from the data port,
LAN traffic, and management traffic.
For each flow, the ATM processor performs the shaping and policing (traffic contract
enforcing) needed to provide the various ATM service categories (Classes of Service
– CoS in ITU-T terminology): CBR, VBR, UBR and UBR+, in accordance with the
traffic contract parameters defined by the user per connection (PVC).
Each ATM service category has its own queue, which is then processed by the
function. The shaper multiplexes the various flows into a single ATM trunk, for
transmission through the network to the ATM network.

Jitter Buffer
The ATM network introduces a delay that consists of two components:
• Cell transfer delay (CTD): this component represents the average transport time
within the ATM network, and therefore it is assumed to be constant for each VC.
• Cell delay variation (CDV): this is a varying component that represents the
jitter, or variation in the delay experienced by any cell.
The reassembly process on the receive side of the ATM network needs a buffer in
which the reassembled cell stream is stored before it is transmitted out the user
interface. The size of the buffer should be large enough to accommodate the
largest CDV present on a VC to prevent underflow and overflow, yet not so large
as to induce excessive overall delay.
LA-110 jitter buffer size can be configured in the range of 0 to 20 msec. This
parameter is global (i.e., all the VCs use the same buffer).

1-22 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Support for Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)


The ATM processor also provides the OAM support functions in accordance with
ITU-T Rec. I.610, for example, performs continuity checks, generates alarm
indications, sends loopback requests and activates loopbacks in accordance with
the received OAM cells, etc.
The ATM processor can also collect performance monitoring data for the ATM layer.

LAN Interface
LA-110 includes a 10/100BaseT Ethernet LAN port. The interface supports
autonegotiation. The user can configure the advertised data rate (10 or 100 Mbps)
and operating mode (half duplex or full duplex). Alternatively, autonegotiation can
be disabled and the rate and operating mode be directly specified.
Note The LAN port of the LA-110 units with date and E1 interfaces supports automatic
MDIX.

Ethernet Payload Processor


The LAN port traffic can be processed either by a MAC bridge or by an IP router.
Their characteristics are described below.
The additional services supported by the IP router (DHCP, NAT/NAPT and PAT)
are also described.

Bridge Characteristics
LA-110 can be configured to serve as an Ethernet MAC bridge with VLAN support
between its LAN port and the network. The bridge can be configured with up to
16 WAN ports (each using its own PVC).
Bridge functionality is selectable:
• Access only: forwarding between LAN and WAN ports
• Full bridge functionality: LAN access and switching among the WAN ports.
The bridge operates at the physical and data link layers of the OSI model, and
therefore it is completely transparent to higher-level protocols, such as TCP/IP,
DECnet, XNS, ISO, and to operating systems, such as Unix or Windows.
The bridge operates as a media access (MAC) layer remote bridge with
self-learning capabilities. It learns and automatically recognizes the addresses of
the nodes attached to the local LAN (the LAN directly attached to the LA-110
Ethernet interface), and uses this information to filter the LAN traffic before
sending it through one of the WAN ports. In addition, the user can define static
MAC addresses (up to 32). The user can configure the aging time of learned
addresses; static addresses are stored until deleted by the user.
The bridge supports up to 2048 hosts on the local LAN.
For compatibility with other equipment, the format of the bridge frames can be
configured (with or without CRC, in accordance with RFC 1483).

Functional Description 1-23


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The user can also enable support for the Point-to-Point protocol over Ethernet
(PPPoE), to allow the local nodes to connect to the Internet through the LA-110
and enjoy most of the benefits of a direct connection.
The internal bridge can contain up to nine ports (one on the LAN side and up to
16 on the WAN side). The bridge operates in the VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware
modes.
VLAN-Aware Operation
This section describes the frame forwarding process in the VLAN-aware mode.
Accept Filter. When the frame is received by one of the bridge ports, it passes
from the accept filter. If the incoming port is configured to accept only VLAN-
tagged, all untagged or priority-tagged frames are discarded at this stage. If the
accept filter is configured to accept all, all frames (tagged and untagged) are
accepted.
VLAN Association. The VLAN association mechanism assigns PVID (port VID) to
any untagged or priority-tagged frame before forwarding it to the ingress filter.
Ingress Filter. The ingress filter (if enabled) discards any frame whose VID is not a
member of the VLAN that is assigned to the port.
Learning. If the frame is admitted, it is handled by the learning process which
learns the source MAC, VID and incoming port triplet.
Forwarding. Forwarding decisions are taken according to the learning table, along
with the user-configurable static entries and aging information. The frames can be
dropped, forwarded to specific port or flooded to a group of ports.
Egress Filter. The egress filter discards any frame whose VID (as determined by the
ingress process) is not associated with the outgoing port.
Egress Stripping. At the egress stripping stage it is decided whether to remove the
VLAN tag according to the outgoing port and VID combination. This means, that
priority-tagged frames are not transmitted out of a VLAN-aware bridge; outgoing
frames are either untagged or VLAN-tagged.
Frame Transmission. Once a frame passes the egress stripping stage, it ready to
be transmitted outside. After the outbound bridge is determined, the original
priority tag is analyzed. If the frame does not have priority tag, it is handled as if
has zero priority. Then the frame is transmitted on outbound bridge port VC that
handles this priority. If no VC is assigned to this priority, the frame is dropped.
VLAN-Unware Operation
The VLAN-unaware process is similar to the VLAN-aware mode with the VID
values ignored. Upon reception, the frames are handled by the learning and
forwarding processes. All decisions are taken according to MAC addresses only
(VLAN tags are ignored).

IP Router Characteristics
LA-110 can be configured to serve as an IP router between the LAN port and the
network. When using the IP router, LA-110 also supports TFTP.

1-24 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

The number of router ports is configurable:


• One or two LAN ports. The two ports, both defined on the physical LAN port,
must be configured in different subnets.
• One to 16 WAN ports, each using its own PVC.
• Optional host port for router management, for example, for RIP updates.
The IP router can be configured to use only static routing (where the user can
define up to 32 entries), or static routing together with user-selected routing
protocols: RIP I, RIP II, or both RIP I and RIP II. The IP router supports the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) and the ICMP ping function for checking IP
connectivity.
When using a routing protocol, the IP router can record in its routing table up to
80 dynamically learned networks or IP hosts. The user can configure the aging
time of learned routes; static routes are stored until deleted by the user.
A default gateway can be defined on either a LAN or WAN port: for a LAN
interface, a next hop IP address is needed (no next hop IP address is needed for a
WAN interface because it is an unnumbered interface).
In the IP router mode, the LA-110 can be configured to use encapsulation per
RFC2684 (which replaces RFC1483), or transfer the traffic using PPP over ATM
(PPPoA).
The user can select the PPP transport method in accordance with RFC2364:
• VC multiplexing
• LLC encapsulation.
For PPP traffic, the LA-110 supports PAP and CHAP client authentication.
IPCP Subnet Mask support allows Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) to
connect to a Broadband Access Server (BAS) and obtain an IP address and subnet
range that the CPE can use to populate the DHCP server database. The IP address
is also used to configure an IP interface over the LAN port. The IP Address is
dynamically allocated by the DHCP Server, using the DHCP Pool that was
allocated over the PPP connection.
In order to connect one of the LANs to Subnet Mask Negotiation, it’s IP Address
should be 0.0.0.0. When the IP Address is allocated from the PPP, the 0.0.0.0 IP
Address is replaced in the data base by the allocated IP Address.
Only one Subnet Mask Negotiation on WAN interface can be enabled at the same
time – in order to avoid allocating the LAN IP address according to a few WAN
interfaces (a one-on-one connection).
The linked LAN interface can be deleted only after disabling the Subnet Mask
Negotiation on the PPP connection.

Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

DNS Relay
This implementation uses a translation table containing the address of the host
requesting, the identification of the original DNS request message and the new
identification with which the request will be sent to DNS server. Whenever
LA-110 receives a DNS request from one of its hosts, it sends the same request to
the DNS server with the IP address on its LAN interface as source address. The
DNS server will then reply to LA-110, which will send the reply to the requesting
host.
If a DNS server does not answer, the host’s request will timeout.
DNS Relay can also be used with single NAT.
Firewall
The user can set a firewall on each one of the router interfaces (WAN, LAN). A
firewall contains the following information:
• Interface – the interface to which the firewall is attached
• Direction – inbound or outbound.
If the user configures inbound direction, the firewall will block frames entering this
interface. A blocked frame will not proceed into the router.
If the user configures outbound direction, the firewall will block frames
transmitted from this interface. Frames will arrived to the firewall after being
routed to this interface.

Figure 1-15. Firewall


The user can add and delete rules per firewall (per interface). Every firewall
contains up to 20 rules.
When adding a rule, the user should specify the following information:
• High end of destination IP range
• Low end of destination IP range
• High end of source IP range
• Low end of source IP range
• IP number

1-26 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

• High end of destination port range


• Low end of destination port range
• High end of source port range
• Low end of source port range
• ICMP Type.
The basic rule of the firewall is: What is not explicitly allowed is denied.
The user can create a log file containing information about packets that the firewall
discard, thus helping to track attempts to break the security.

DHCP Services
The user can select whether to enable DHCP services on the LA-110 IP router.
Two types of services can be provided:
• DHCP relay services: in this mode, the IP router relays DHCP requests to a
predefined DHCP server. The user can specify the maximum number of hops
that a DHCP request can traverse before being discarded.
• DHCP server services: in this mode, the IP router itself serves as the DHCP
server, which provides, in response to DHCP requests an IP address, an IP
subnet mask, a default gateway, and the IP addresses of two DNS servers
(primary and secondary). The user can define up to 10 different DHCP address
pools. For each pool, the user specifies the IP address range, the default
gateway, the primary and secondary DNS servers, and the lease time.
At any time, the IP router can provide only one of the three services listed above.

NAT/NAPT Services
The LA-110 IP router can also provide network address translation (NAT) and
network address/port translations (NAPT), simultaneously for multiple hosts and
multiple sessions per host.
The total number of NAT and NAPT translations is 20. Each translation can be
defined to apply to either a LAN or WAN port:
• When the address translation is defined on a LAN port, the real IP addresses
are located on the LAN side, and the virtual addresses are located on the
WAN side.
• When the address translation is defined on a WAN port, the real IP addresses
are located on the WAN side, and the virtual addresses are located on the
LAN side.
Four types of translations can be defined:
• Dynamic (temporary) translation of a group of virtual IP addresses to a smaller
group of real IP addresses, in accordance with the usage requirements
received from the hosts using virtual IP addresses. This type is similar to the
basic traditional NAT, as described in RFC2663 and RFC3022.
• Static (permanent) translation of a specific virtual IP address to a specific real IP
address. This is a form of bidirectional NAT, as described in RFC2663.

Functional Description 1-27


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• Transparent translation (no translation at all): the real and virtual IP addresses
are identical. This is a form of bidirectional NAT, as described in RFC2663.
• Dynamic utilization of a single IP address in accordance with usage
requirements received from the virtual IP addresses, using transport identifiers
(port numbers) for multiplexing. In this case, This type is similar to NAPT, a
form of traditional NAT, as described in RFC2663 and RFC3022.
All the translations, except for the transparent translation, hide the virtual
addresses from the outside world (“outside” is determined by the type of interface,
as explained above).

PAT Services
PAT is a static translation that specifies a unique mapping between a
[real IP address; port; protocol] and a [virtual IP address; port]. Its purpose is to
enable access from the real IP side to a host using a virtual IP address that is
included in an existing dynamic NAPT definition.
Therefore, a PAT translation can be defined only if a matching dynamic NAPT
translation exists (matching means that a SINGLE PAT entry has the same real IP
and virtual entries). The total number of PAT translation definitions is 10.
To help the user make valid definitions, the LA-110 supports predefined options
for the most common services: the available selections are Telnet (port 23), Web
(port 80), FTP (port 20 or 21), SNMP (port 161), TFTP (port 69), DNS (port 53),
SMTP (port 25), and POP3 (port 110). The protocol is TCP, except for Web and
DNS, for which it is possible to select either TCP or UDP. In addition, a user-
selected range of port numbers with either TCP or UDP protocol can also be
defined.

Data Port Interface


The LA-110 data port is a synchronous serial port with DCE interface.
The port interface supports V.35 and X.21 interfaces, terminating in a 34-pin
female (V.35) or a 15-pin D-type female (X.21) connectors.
• For connection to user equipment with V.35 DTE interface: adapter cable
The port can be configured to operate at rates of N × 64 kbps in the range of 64 to
2048 kbps.
The data port uses DCE timing, that is, it provides transmit and receive clock
signals to the equipment connected to the data port. The clock polarity can be
selected in accordance with the specific requirements of the equipment connected
to the data port:
• Normal polarity: clock falling edge occurs in the middle of the bit interval
• Inverted polarity: clock rising edge occurs in the middle of the bit interval.

1-28 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Data Port Payload Processor


The data payload processor processes the data port traffic, for transmission through
the ATM processor, in accordance with the application mode selected by the user:
• AAL1 stream
• Frame Relay.

AAL1 Stream Mode


In this application, the data stream at the selected data rate (n×64 kbps) is
transferred transparently. Therefore, the AAL1 stream mode supports any Layer 2
protocol and only one connection can be defined on the port.
The user can however select two options related to the flow control signals
included in the data port interface:
• Ignore the DCD and RTS signals: in this case, the data path to the far end is
always open.
• Obey the DCD and RTS signals: in this case, the data path to the far end
opens only when the RTS signal received from the local terminal is asserted
(the local terminal indicates that it has data to send), or the far end sends data
(DCD output in the local data port is then asserted).
The data traffic is transported at the CBR service category, using AAL1
encapsulation and a cell structure similar to that specified in the ATMF CES
Interoperability Specification. The user can select between the structured and
unstructured cell structures (for the 64 kbps rate, the selection is between
structured service with, or without pointer).
Frame Relay Mode
Note For a description of the Frame Relay environment, refer to Appendix F.
When the LA-110 data port is configured to support Frame Relay services, the
traffic is carried over AAL5, at the ATM service category selected by the user. The
user can define the desired ATM connection parameters in accordance with the
application requirements.
The number of supported DLCIs (Data Link Connection Identifiers) is 16, and the
allowed range is 16 through 991.
The user can configure the desired data rate (N × 64 kbps in the range of 64 to
2048 kbps), and can also select the CRC polynomial used for error detection
(CRC-16 or CRC-32), in accordance with the requirements of the Frame Relay
equipment connected to the data port.
The user can select whether to use a Frame Relay management protocol. The
supported options include:
• ITU-T Rec. Q.933, Annex A: user side, network side or both
• ANSI T1.617, Annex D: user side, network side or both
• LMI: user side, network side or both
• No Frame Relay management protocol.
The user can also enable CLLM.

Functional Description 1-29


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

In addition, the user can select the Frame Relay interworking mode: service
interworking per FRF.8 or network interworking per FRF.5.
• The network interworking mode, defined in FRF.5, is used to interconnect
Frame Relay equipment through an ATM network. The user can configure the
way the Frame Relay traffic control parameters are converted to the cell loss
priority indicator used on the ATM connection, and back.
In the network interworking mode, the ATM connection (PVC) can be used in
two ways:
To carry either a single Frame Relay logical connection. This mode is called
one-to-one connection
To multiplex several logical connections (up to 16) on the same PVC. In this
mode, called many-to-one connection, the ATM connection parameters
defined by the user apply to all the DLCIs multiplexed on the same PVC.
• The service interworking mode, defined in FRF.8, is used to interconnect an
equipment unit with Frame Relay interface to an equipment unit with ATM
interface.
To enable interworking between Frame Relay and ATM equipment, it is
necessary to define the conversion parameters:
Protocol handling method: header encapsulation or translation between
RFC2427 (RFC1490) on the Frame Relay side to RFC2684 (RFC1483) on
the ATM side
Conversion between Frame Relay traffic control parameters and the cell
loss priority indicator used on the ATM connection. The user can select the
following parameters:
The processing of the FECN bit received from the Frame Relay
equipment
The method used to derive the cell loss priority (CLP) bit to be sent in
the ATM network cells, from the DE bit of Frame Relay frames (the
original DE bit is also mapped to the DE-FR-SSCS bit in the Frame Relay
service-specific convergence sublayer (SSCS).

FXS User Ports


LA-110 can be ordered with four FXS independent analog voice interfaces, for direct
connection to subscribers’ POTS phone, fax or voiceband modem equipment.
Port Interface Characteristics
Each FXS port has a 2-wire interface with nominal impedance of 600Ω. Each port
provides power feed and ringing to the subscriber’s equipment.
• The nominal feed voltage is -48V
• The ring voltage is 60 VRMS. The maximum ringer load is 3 Ren. The standard
ring frequency is 25 Hz, however other frequencies in the range of 15 to
50 Hz are available upon specific order.
The subscriber’s signaling detection is based on DC loop closure in accordance
with EIA RS-464 loop start protocol.

1-30 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Voice Port Signal Processing


The input and output audio levels of each channel can be independently selected,
for best performance. The signals are then encoded by a PCM codec, using
64 kbps PCM encoding per ITU-T Rec. G.711. The codec quality enables
transparent transfer of DTMF signaling, Group III fax signals and voice band
modems.
The user can select the companding law:
• A-law for use in countries using the E1 standard
• µ-law for use in countries using the T1 standard.
Each channel includes a near-end echo canceller. The echo canceller can be
disabled when processing fax or modem signals.
The connection between the FXS ports subsystem and the ATM processor is made
through a PCM bus, and a timeslot assigner that provides routing flexibility. The
bus also transfers the channel-associated signaling information. For compatibility
with national implementations, the PSTN signaling characteristics are
user-selectable.
The transport of analog voice requires LES over AAL2, which allows several voice
connections to share the same VC. The ELCP protocol can also be used.

ISDN User Port


LA-110 can be ordered with four independent ISDN BRI S0 interfaces complying
with ETSI 300012 and ITU-T Rec. I.430. The port characteristics are compatible
with many types of ISDN switches, including NTT, 5ESS, DMS-100 and NI1.

Port Interface Characteristics


Each “S” port supports two 64-kbps B channels, which carry payload data, and
one 16 kbps D channel, which carries signaling information.
Each port supports full duplex transmission of the 2B+D channels over
unconditioned 4-wire telephone loops (two twisted pairs). The nominal line
impedance is 100Ω. The line data rate is 192 kbps, and the line coding is
pseudoternary.
LA-110 can be ordered configured to the following operating modes:
• NT: The network termination (NT) mode enables direct connection of ISDN
terminal equipment to the “S” ports.
Each ISDN “S” NT interface provides current feed to the user’s terminal
equipment. The nominal feed voltage is -48 VDC.
• TE: The TE (terminal equipment) mode enables the connection of the “S” ports to
network termination (NT) units. This is the mode that should be used when the
ports are connected to an ISDN switch.

ISDN Port Signal Processing


The total number of ISDN payload (B) channels is 8; the signaling information
carried by the D channels is multiplexed into a single 64 kbps D channel.

Functional Description 1-31


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The connection between the ISDN ports subsystem and the ATM processor is
made through a PCM bus, and a timeslot assigner that provides routing flexibility.
The ISDN ports require use of LES over AAL2, which allows several connections to
share the same VC. The ELCP protocol can also be used. The signaling information
carried by the multiplexed 64 kbps D channel is transported transparently to the
voice gateway.
E1 User Port
LA-110 can be ordered with one user E1 port.

E1 Port Characteristics
The E1 port interface complies with ITU-T Rec. G.703, G.704, G.706 and G.732
(see Appendix F for details). The jitter performance complies with ITU-T Rec. G.823.
The port has two interfaces:
• 120Ω balanced, for use over 120Ω twisted pairs
• 75Ω unbalanced, for use over coaxial cables.
The unit includes one RJ-45 balanced connector. The unbalanced interface is
provided via an RJ-45-to-BNC adapter cable.
To adapt the interface characteristics to the operating conditions, the user can
select the maximum line attenuation that can be compensated for by the port
interface while still meeting the BER objectives:
• Maximum line attenuation of 30 dB: this attenuation corresponds to that
required of LTU interfaces. This value should be selected only for the balanced
interface.
• Maximum line attenuation of 12 dB: this attenuation corresponds to that
required of DSU interfaces. This value should be selected whenever the line
attenuation does not exceed 12 dB, because it may provide better
performance on noisy lines than the 30 dB setting.
The port interface supports the following framing modes:
• G732S: 16 frames per multiframe, with support for channel-associated
signaling (CAS). This mode provides 30 payload timeslots. The user can select
the CAS sampling interval in the range of 0.1 to 2.0 sec.
• G732N: 2 frames per multiframe, without support for CAS. This mode
provides 31 payload timeslots.
• Unframed mode (supported only when the LA-110 is configured to use AAL1).
• ISDN PRI remote access mode (supported only when the LA-110 is configured
to use AAL2).
For the G732S and G732N framing modes, the user can select additional
parameters, in accordance with the specific application requirements:
• Enable/disable the use of the CRC-4 function per ITU-T Rec. G.706. This
function enables monitoring the E1 line transmission performance.
• Select the idle code inserted in empty timeslots.
• Select a frame synchronization algorithm faster than that specified in the
standard.

1-32 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

E1 Port Signal Processing


The data stream provided by the E1 interface is sent over the PCM bus and is
connected to the ATM processor through the timeslot assigner. The timeslot
assigner provides the timeslot switching flexibility needed to meet the application
requirements:
• When using the G732S or G732N framing mode over AAL1, the timeslots
carried by the E1 port are divided into timeslot bundles. Each bundle can
contain any desired number of timeslots (channels), but any timeslot may be
included in a single bundle. The selection of the timeslots in each bundle is
performed by the timeslot assigner.
Each of the bundles defined by the user can be transported over a separate
ATM connection (PVC) using the structured CES mode. In the CES mode, the
user can select the number of payload bytes inserted in each cell, to reduce
the cell filling latency. The user can also select whether to transfer the signaling
associated with these timeslots (needed when the timeslots carry voice
channels) or not (when the timeslots carry data channels or fractional E1
service).
Another alternative available over AAL1 is the use of Dynamic Bandwidth
Allocation – Circuit Emulation Service (DB-CES). In this mode, the LA-110
recognizes the activity of voice channels in accordance with their CAS (ABCD)
signaling bits, and either frees or allocates uplink bandwidth accordingly.
Therefore, DB-CES can only be used when the interface uses the G732S
framing mode. The user can freely select the ABCD bit sequence used to
identify an idle channel in accordance with the particular application. For
convenience, the user can also select one of several predefined sequences
corresponding to widely used applications:
E&M interface and PLAR (private line automatic ringdown) applications
FXO or FXS interfaces with loop start signaling
FXO or FXS interfaces with ground start signaling
R2 signaling protocol (a type of channel-associated signaling protocol for E1
trunks that enables the setting up, metering and disconnection of phone
calls using decadic pulse dialing). This signaling protocol may be needed
when the user’s phones do not use DTMF signaling.
The third alternative available over AAL1 is transparent transport of the
bundles, without CAS.
• When using AAL2, the LA-110 uses LES for voice support, with or without
ELCP. The user can select from a range of application identifiers, which
determine the supported signaling methods:
CAS signaling (always without ELCP). The user can customize the signaling
characteristics in accordance with national applications.
PSTN signaling (providing V5.2 functionality) for voice channels, with or
without ELCP.
Digital Signaling System 1 (DSS1) for ISDN BRI and PRI, with or without
ELCP.

Functional Description 1-33


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

ISDN PRI remote access with ELCP. For this application, the framing (the
contents of timeslot 0) and the interpretation of the signaling information
(transferred in a separate timeslot (timeslot 16) using the common channel
signaling (CCS) protocol in accordance with DSS1) are automatically
adapted to ISDN PRI standards.
The user can freely select the active timeslots carried by the E1 port
interface (same as for fractional service, except that timeslot 16 is always
included). The other timeslots are then ignored. This frees the uplink
bandwidth that may otherwise be reserved for unused timeslots.
With ELCP, the user can also specify national variants (simply by selecting the
country name), and several other global parameters:
The default voice encoding profile. The available profiles are 7 to 12 in
accordance with ITU-T Rec. I.366.1 and I.366.2; LA-110 without the
ADPCM option supports only profile 9. However, the actually used profile
is selected by the voice gateway.
ISDN activation mode: this is always non-permanent, to enable the voice
gateway to control channel utilization.

E1 UNI
LA-110 performs transparent transfer of the ATM-based E1 UNI services over
SHDSL infrastructure at the rate of 1984 kbps. The E1 UNI interface provides the
following:
• No limit on number of VCs and VPs
• No CBR per VC
• Loopback and OAM support.
Figure 1-16 illustrates mapping of E1 UNI into SHDSL.

DSP Option
To reduce the uplink bandwidth needed for voice transmission, a DSP option is
available. The DSP performs voice compression using 32 kbps ADPCM encoding
per ITU-T Rec. G.726. Three options can be ordered:
• Voice compression for 4 channels, for LA-110 with FXS interfaces.
• Voice compression for 8 channels, for LA-110 with ISDN interfaces.
• Voice compression for 30 channels, for LA-110 with E1 interfaces.

1-34 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

In addition to PCM/ADPCM conversion, the digital signal processor can also


perform echo canceling for ISDN channels or for E1 voice channels.
The DSP operates on the data flowing over the PCM bus, which connects the user
port to the timeslot assigner. The user can specify the timeslots to be processed:
• For the ISDN interface, echo canceling is simultaneously enabled/disabled for
all the B channels.
• For E1 port, the user can specify the individual timeslots to be processed by
the echo canceller.
Note Timeslots processed by ADPCM or echo canceller are no longer transparent,
therefore neither function may be enabled for timeslots carrying data.
Even when ADPCM is not used, echo canceling for ISDN channels can be
separately ordered.

Timing
The LA-110 includes a timing subsystem that supplies all the clock signals needed
by its internal circuits. The timing modes used by each LA-110 port, and the
LA-110 system timing modes are described below.

Port Timing Modes


The timing modes used by the various ports are as follows:
• LAN Port. The timing signals needed by the LAN port are derived from the
LA-110 system clock. The LAN port carries frame traffic, and therefore it is
essentially an asynchronous port.
• Data Port. The data port is a synchronous port, and its timing mode is DCE,
that is, the port supplies transmit and receive clock signals (derived from the
system clock) to the equipment connected to this port.
• FXS Ports. The FXS ports operate synchronously at the rate determined by the
LA-110 system clock.
• ISDN Ports. The ISDN ports operate synchronously:
The transmit path of the ISDN ports uses the LA-110 system clock
The receive path of the ISDN ports uses the clock signal recovered from the
receive signal.
Since in most applications the ISDN ports are used in the NT mode, the user’s
equipment locks its timing to the incoming line signal provided by the LA-110
ISDN port. Therefore, the receive clock signal is locked to the transmit clock
signal.
• E1 Port. The E1 port operates synchronously:
The transmit path uses the LA-110 system clock
The receive path uses the clock signal recovered from the receive signal.
This signal may be selected as reference source for the LA-110 system
clock.
• Network Port. The network port operates synchronously. The timing mode for
an LA-110 installed on the CPE side (that is, a unit operating in the STU-R or
ATU-R mode) is as follows:

Functional Description 1-35


Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The transmit path uses the LA-110 system clock


The network port also processes the incoming signal to retrieve the network
timing reference (NTR) signal, a 8 kHz clock signal derived from the SHDSL
or ADSL signal received from the CO side equipment.
When the LA-110 network port is configured as CO side unit (that is,
STU-C) determines the timing of the unit at the CPE side. In this mode, it
can also be configured to provide the NTR timing information.

System Timing Mode


LA-110 supports flexible timing modes to enable hierarchical timing distribution in
the network. The LA-110 system timing can be locked to the following sources:
• NTR: when the DSLAM to which the LA-110 unit is connected can supply an
NTR clock, the LA-110 can extract the NTR clock and use it as its timing
reference. This is the recommended mode, because it locks the LA-110 timing
to the timing reference of the DSLAM, which is usually highly accurate.
• Clock signal recovered from the E1 port receive signal (provided the LA-110
unit is equipped with an E1 port). This mode locks the LA-110 timing to the
timing reference of the far end E1 equipment, which is usually accurate.
• Adaptive timing: clock locked to the average arrival rate of the ATM cells
carrying voice channels. This mode can be used to improve voice transmission
quality by decreasing the probability of buffer underflow/overflow events for
voice traffic, by ensuring that the internal PCM bus clock rate is locked to the
average rate of voice packets
• Internal oscillator. This option should be used only when the LA-110 network
port is configured as CO side unit.

Management Subsystem
LA-110 has a local management subsystem that controls the operation of all of its
circuits. The subsystem supports various management interfaces, including inband
and out-of-band (SNMP) management, Telnet, Web browser and local
management via an ASCII terminal. RADview management software is also
available to support large networks.
The local management subsystem can communicate through the following ports:
• Dedicated serial port, intended for direct connection to an ASCII terminal,
provides access to all the available configuration, diagnostics, performance and
alarm monitoring functions.
The serial port has an asynchronous RS-232 DCE interface. The serial port rate
can be set to any standard rate in the range of 300 to 115,200 bps. Automatic
detection of incoming data rate is also supported. The user can configure
LA-110 to automatically send any alarms detected during its operation through
this port.
• Inband management via the ATM uplink, using SNMP. The user can define up
to 10 network management stations to receive traps in accordance with user’s
criteria, however the number of management stations is not limited.
In addition to SNMP, Telnet is also supported. Telnet has the same capabilities
and uses the same procedures as the terminal.

1-36 Functional Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Note Telnet and local terminal sessions cannot be simultaneously active.


The inband management traffic uses AAL5, and is encapsulated in accordance
with RFC1483 for IP routed traffic over ATM. To avoid uplink overloading by
inband management traffic, the total management data rate is limited to 32 kbps.
The management traffic can be configured on a dedicated inband
management VCC (this is always necessary when the LAN port is configured to
use the MAC bridge); if the LAN port is configured to use the IP router, the
management traffic can use the IP router PVCs.
• Out-of-band management via the LAN port using SNMP and Telnet, supports
unlimited number of managers. This option is supported when the LAN port is
configured to use the IP router.

Web-Based Configuration
The LA-110 Web-based configuration enables a quick, comfortable control of the
device. The Web user interface enables user configuration via HTTP client. The
default address can be later changed by the user.
The LA-110 Web management utility supports the following Web browsers:
• Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, running on Windows™ 98, Windows™ 2000,
Windows™ XP
• Netscape Communicator 7.1, running on Windows™ NT or Unix.

Two-Level Authentication
LA-110 supports two-level password protection:
• User Level. The first level of access which requires a name and password, and
enables the user to view all settings, display the contents of registers etc. and
make listings and/or printouts of the settings, including statistics.
• Superuser. The second level which enables the user to change parameters
related to the WAN settings of LA-110 and its voice parameters (at AAL2 level).
In addition, superusers perform administration of the user names and
passwords for the first and second authority levels.
The operation of the LA-110 management subsystem and of its other circuits is
determined by software stored in flash memory. The software can be updated
using one of the following options:
• Updating from a remote central location, using TFTP. This provides the
network operator with the tools needed for effective distribution of software
updates and upgrades, and addition of new services as they become available.
• When a ConfiguRAD session is in progress, the LA-110 software can be
updated from a management station using HTTP protocol.
• Local downloading from a terminal directly connected to the LA-110 serial
control port, using the XMODEM protocol.
Note TFTP and HTTP file transfers can also be used to upload and download the LA-110
configuration database, and transfer the alarm and firewall logs for remote analysis
and archiving.

Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Automatic Configuration Options (Plug & Play)


The LA-110 is designed to enable automatic configuration from a remote location,
without requiring the intervention of an operator (plug & play functionality).
Plug & play means that after the LA-110 is installed and connected to its operating
environment, the unit needs only to be powered up. It then automatically receives
its management IP address, and all the configuration procedures can be performed
from the remote location.
The LA-110 supports two automatic configuration methods:
• Fully automatic configuration using DHCP in conjunction with TFTP. This
operates as follows:
When LA-110 is powered up, it automatically starts operating as a DHCP
client, and broadcasts a DHCP server discovery message via the default
management VCC of the uplink.
The DHCP server, located at an appropriate location within the operator’s
network management center, returns the following information:
The IP address to be configured as the LA-110 inband management
address (the address is usually set using the DEF ADDR ATM command).
The IP address of the TFTP server designated as source of LA-110
configuration database files.
The name of the configuration database file to be retrieved from the
prescribed TFTP server.
LA-110 then uses the parameters received from the DHCP server to
retrieve its configuration file, and starts using it. LA-110 adds one field to its
DataBase: FileName. The first time LA-110 receives file name, it is saved,
so that the next time it can compare. If it is the same file it is not necessary
to download this configuration again. The IP address that was found will be
used as the management IP.
• An alternative mechanism based on automatic learning of its inband
management IP address. This mechanism is active as long as the default
parameter values are in effect: LA-110 then learns its inband management IP
address from the destination IP address carried in the first IP packet received
through the default inband management VCC. This is sufficient for Telnet
access.
Moreover, if the first packet is an SNMP packet, LA-110 also adds the source
IP address as a manager (this address is usually set with the ADD NMS
command).
After learning these parameters, the plug-&-play functionality is disabled, and
LA-110 is subject to the regular management and configuration rules. TFTP
can then be used to download a configuration file.
Note Whenever necessary, the plug-&-play functionality can be enabled again by
restoring the factory-default parameters.
The automatic configuration method used by LA-110 upon power-up is
determined by its factory-default parameters, specified at ordering time.

LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction

Statistics Collection
LA-110 collects performance monitoring statistics at the physical and ATM layers
for the network interface, and for each user-side port. It is also possible to display
statistics data for individual connections (AAL1, AAL5).
The data port statistics are collected over 15-minute intervals, for up to 24 hours.
The data collected for the last 24 hours is stored for display by management
functions. The LA-110 also stores the statistics collected for the last six days with
24-hour resolution.

ATM Layer
In addition to the general traffic performance monitoring statistics, LA-110 also
monitors the different ATM layers: physical, ATM layer and adaptation layer
performance and collects specific performance data for Operation, Administration
and Maintenance (OAM) traffic in accordance with ITU-T Rec. I.610:
• At the port level, LA-110 collects general OAM performance data (total
number of transmitted and received OAM cells):
Loopbacks (LB) tests
Continuity check (CC)
AIS (Alarm Indication Signal)
RDI (Remote Defect Indication) in an ATM network.
• At the connection level, the LA-110 collects detailed OAM performance data.
• LA-110 also can send OAM loopback requests on a specific connection and
collect loopback request and response data (both successful and failed).
Optional E1 Port
The statistics collected by LA-110 for the physical (E1) layer of the E1 port are
derived from the line signal and CRC-4 data. The collected parameters include
code violations, local errored seconds, local severely errored seconds, local
seconds with severe framing error events, local seconds with AIS reception, local
unavailable seconds, and remote unavailable seconds.

Data Port
The statistics collected for the data port are as follows:
• When using the Frame Relay mode, LA-110 collects data on the total number
of received and transmitted frames, the number of frames received and
transmitted with the congestion indicator set, and the number of frames
received and discarded.
• When using the AAL1 Stream mode, LA-110 collects traffic data.
Ethernet Port
The statistics collected for the Ethernet port include the total number of received
and transmitted frames, and the number of frames received, but discarded.

Chapter 1 Introduction LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Test and Diagnostics Capabilities


LA-110 has comprehensive diagnostics capabilities that include the following types
of user-controlled loopbacks:
• Remote network loopback
• Local data port loopback
• Remote data port loopback
• Local user port loopback
• Remote user port loopback
• Remote remote data port loopback.
• Initiation of OAM loopback requests to test a VCC
• Ping for IP connectivity checks.

Alarms
LA-110 stores alarms detected during its operation in a buffer that can hold up to
200 alarms. During regular operation, the terminal shows if there are any alarms in
the alarm buffer thus notifying the local operator that alarm conditions have been
detected. The local operator can then review the contents of the alarm buffer on
the terminal, and can delete old alarms.
For on-line monitoring, the user can enable automatic sending of alarms to the
supervision terminal, Telnet hosts, and management stations (for SNMP
management purposes, LA-110 automatically converts some alarms to traps). The
user can select the types of traps to be sent to each network management station.

Installation

2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides installation instructions for LA-110.
The chapter presents the following information:
• Safety precautions for installation personnel and users
• Site requirements
• General description of equipment enclosures, the available interface options,
and the LA-110 panels
• Mechanical and electrical installation instructions for LA-110.
After installing the system, it is necessary to configure it in accordance with the
specific user's requirements. Two configuration methods are supported:
• Manual preliminary system configuration, performed by means of a
supervision terminal directly connected to the LA-110 (procedures for using
the terminal are given in Chapter 3). The software necessary for using the
terminal is stored in LA-110.
Note If the LA-110 software is not yet loaded or must be updated, refer to Appendix D
for detailed software installation instructions.
• Automatic configuration, using the “plug & play” capability. This capability
enables a remote management system or Telnet host to assign a management
IP address to the LA-110 through the ATM uplink, and then configure the unit
through the uplink.
The LA-110 also supports the downloading of a complete set of configuration
parameters by transferring a configuration file using TFTP.
After the preliminary configuration and during routine operations, LA-110 can also
be managed by means of Telnet hosts or SNMP-based network management
stations, e.g., RADview. Refer to the User's Manual of the network management
station for operating instructions; Telnet hosts use the supervision terminal
procedures.

Introduction 2-1
Chapter 2 Installation LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Safety Precautions

No internal settings, adjustment, maintenance, and repairs may be performed


by either the operator or the user; such activities may be performed only by
skilled service personnel who are aware of the hazards involved.
Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and
Warning maintenance of this product.

For your protection and to prevent possible damage to equipment when a fault
condition, e.g., a lightning stroke or contact with high-voltage power lines,
occurs on the cables connected to the equipment, the LA-110 unit must be
properly grounded at any time. Any interruption of the protective (grounding)
Grounding connection inside or outside the equipment, or the disconnection of the
protective ground terminal can make this equipment dangerous. Intentional
interruption is prohibited.

Dangerous voltages may be present on the cables connected to LA-110.


• Never connect cables to an LA-110 unit if it is not properly installed and
grounded.
Warning • Disconnect all the cables connected to the connectors of the LA-110 before
disconnecting the LA-110 power cable.

Before switching on this equipment and before connecting any other cable, the
protective ground terminal of LA-110 must be connected to a protective ground.
The grounding connection is made through the power cables. Therefore:
1. The DC power cable of the external AC power supply unit must be connected
to the LA-110 POWER connector.
2. One end of the AC power cable connected to the AC power supply unit, and
the plug at other end must always be inserted in a socket (outlet) with a
protective ground contact.
3. The protective action must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power
cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).
Whenever LA-110 units are installed in a rack, make sure that the rack is properly
grounded and connected to a reliable, low-resistance grounding system.

Protection against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)


An electrostatic discharge occurs between two objects when an object carrying static
electrical charges touches, or is brought near enough, the other object. Static
electrical charges appear as result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials,
separation of two such surfaces and may also be induced by electrical fields.
Routine activities such as walking across an insulating floor, friction between
garment parts, friction between objects, etc. can easily build charges up to levels
that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.

2-2 Introduction
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation

Whenever feasible, during installation works use standard ESD protection wrist
straps to discharge electrostatic charges. It is also recommended to use garments
and packaging made of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance,
yet are not insulators.
It is also important to make sure that other equipment, in particular customer’s
data equipment connected to the LA-110 data port, is properly grounded
(connected to the protective, or safety, ground) before attempting to connect it to
LA-110.

2.2 Site Requirements

Physical Requirements
The LA-110 device is intended for installation on desktop and shelves. All the
connections are made to the rear panel.
For installation in 19-inch racks, RAD offers the RM-33 rack mount kit. An LA-110
installed with the RM-33 kit occupies a height of 1U.

Power Requirements

Internal Power Supply


AC-powered LA-110 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 ft) of an
easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the voltage in
accordance with LA-110 nominal supply voltage.
DC-powered LA-110 units require a -48 VDC power source, which must be
adequately isolated from the main supply.

External Power Supply


LA-110 is powered from AC mains, through an external AC power supply unit that
supplies the regulated DC voltages needed by the LA-110 internal circuits. The
external AC power supply unit connects to the AC source through a 1.5m (5 feet)
cable, terminated in a standard IEC three-pronged plug, and connects to LA-110
through an integral DC cable terminated in a multipin connector.
LA-110 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 feet) of an easily accessible
grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the required AC supply voltage, in the
range of 100 to 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. The current version of LA-110 is supplied
with an AC power supply unit that supplies +3.3V, +5V and -48 VDC (these
ratings are listed on the AC power supply unit). These units are easily identified by
the type of power connector: 6-pin connector.
Note The lower negative voltage of the previous versions results in a lower maximum
range for FXS voice and ISDN “S” interfaces. This is relevant only when such
interfaces are installed in LA-110.
However, it is not allowed (nor is it possible) to connect an LA-110 unit with one
type of connector to an AC power supply unit with the other type of connector.

Site Requirements 2-3


Chapter 2 Installation LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Uplink and User Connections


This section presents general requirements regarding the connections to the
various LA-110 interfaces. Note that your unit cannot include all the interfaces
listed below.
If you need specific information regarding pin allocations in the LA-110 interface
connectors and wiring data for adapter cables, refer to Appendix A.

Uplink Connections
LA-110 may be ordered with an SHDSL 2-wire or 4-wire uplink interface, with an
ADSL or E1 uplink interface. The interface is terminated in an RJ-45 connector.
Each of the interfaces listed above is intended for operation over twisted pairs
meeting the requirements of the corresponding standards (typically, this means
24 AWG (0.5 mm) or 26 AWG (0.4 mm) unloaded twisted pairs).
The E1 uplink interface can be connected to the unbalanced coaxial cables via the
CBL-RJ45/2BNC/E1 adapter cable.
The interface is protected against surges in accordance with ITU-T Rec. K.21.

User E1 Link Connections


The LA-110 user E1 port has two interfaces:
• 120Ω balanced interface for operation over two twisted pairs, terminated in an
RJ-45 eight-pin connector
• 75Ω unbalanced interface for operation over coaxial cables, provided via
RJ-45-to-BNC adapter cable.
The LA-110 E1 interfaces must not be directly connected to unprotected public
telecommunication networks. The connection to such networks must be made
through a network termination unit that provides separation between the interface
conductors and the telecommunication network conductors in accordance with
the applicable local regulations.

User Synchronous Data Port Connections


The LA-110 synchronous data port supports the following DCE interfaces:
• V.35, via 34-pin female connector
• X.21, via 15-pin, D-type connector.

LAN Port Connections


The LAN port has a 10/100BaseTX Ethernet interface terminated in an RJ-45
connector, for connection to LANs operating on UTP media.
The LAN connector of the LA-110 units with FXS, ISDN BRI and PRI ports is wired
as a station port, for connection through a “straight” (point-to-point) cable to an
Ethernet hub port.
The LAN connector of the LA-110 units with data and E1 ports supports automatic
MDIX, correcting connection polarity errors. This allows using straight or crossed
cables for the LAN connection.

2-4 Site Requirements


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation

ISDN Port Connections


LA-110 can be ordered with four ISDN “S” interfaces. Each interface is terminated
in an RJ-45 connector, and requires two twisted pairs meeting the requirements of
the applicable standards (typically, this means 24 AWG (0.5 mm) or 26 AWG
(0.4 mm) unloaded twisted pairs).
The connections of the ISDN “S” ports depend on the interface type, TE or NT:
• NT interface: intended for connection to user’s equipment having ISDN “S”
TE ports, for example, to ports of user’s ISDN terminals. The connection is
made by a straight cable (wired point-to-point). When using the NT interface,
each port provides current feed to the user’s equipment.
• TE interface: intended for connection to user’s equipment having ISDN “S”
NT ports, for example, to ports of an ISDN switch. The connection is made by
a cross cable (see Appendix A). When using the TE interface, the ports do not
require external feed current, neither do they close a DC current loop.

Management Connections
The out-of-band management port of LA-110 has a serial RS-232 asynchronous
DCE interface terminated in a 9-pin D-type connector, designated CONTROL.

Front and Rear Panel Clearance


Allow at least 90 cm (36 inches) of frontal clearance for operator access. Allow at
least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance at the rear of the unit for interface cable
connections. However, during installation, replacement and cable connections a
larger clearance; at least 90 cm (36 inches) is needed.

Ambient Requirements
The ambient operating temperature of LA-110 is 0 to 50°C (32 °F to 122 °F), at a
relative humidity of up to 90%, non-condensing. LA-110 is cooled by free air
convection.

For the LA-110 units with FXS, ISDN BRI and PRI ports use one of the following
connection methods:
• Use a standard (station) cable wired point-to-point for direct connection to an
Ethernet hub port.
• Use a cross cable for connection to another station port, e.g., to a PC with
Ethernet NIC.

Connecting Cable to User Synchronous Data Port


The user data port has a 34-pin or 15-pin D-type female connector, designated
DCE.
Connect the user’s equipment using appropriate cables.
Note To avoid ESD at the user data port:
• It is recommended that the DTE device (to be connected to the LA-110 data
port) be connected to the PROTECTIVE EARTH (safety ground).
• Verify that the LA-110 main power plug is disconnected from the wall socket.
• Connect the serial data cable to LA-110.
• Connect the power cable to LA-110.

Connecting Cables ISDN “S” Ports


ISDN “S” ports have RJ-45 8-pin connectors. Each ISDN “S” module has four
ports, identified by their number, 1 to 4.
Connect the user’s equipment using the prescribed cables. See the ISDN Port
Connections in Appendix A for cabling guidelines.

2-12 Connecting the Interfaces


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation

Connecting a Terminal
When using a supervision terminal (including a PC running a terminal emulation
program), connect it to the DB-9 connector, designated DCE CONTROL, by
means of a straight cable (for LA-110 units with data and E1 interfaces).
For the LA-110 with FXS, ISDM BRI and PRI interfaces, connect the CONTROL
port to the RJ-45 connector, designated CONTROL, by means of the
CBL-RJ45/D9/F/6FT cable.

Connecting LA-110 to Management Station or Telnet Host


The link to network management stations using SNMP, and/or to Telnet hosts can
be provided in two ways:
• Inband, through the ATM uplink. This connection is automatically available
when the uplink cable is connected, provided IP connectivity to the
management station or Telnet host is available through the uplink port.
• Through the LAN interface, provided IP connectivity to the management
station or Telnet host is available through the LAN this port is connected to (for
example, when the management station or Telnet host is attached to the LAN).
This completes the installation of the LA-110 unit. Refer to Chapter 3 for turn-on
and preliminary configuration instructions.

2.9 Connecting the Power

Connecting the Internal Power Supply


LA-110 with the data and E1 interfaces accepts either 110–240 VAC or
-48/-60 VDC power through the same power inlet.
Before connecting or disconnecting any cable, the protective earth terminals of
this unit must be connected to the protective ground conductor of the mains
(AC or DC) power cord. If you are using an extension cord (power cable) make
Warning sure it is grounded as well.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the
instrument) or disconnecting of the protective earth terminal can make this
unit dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Connecting AC Power
AC power is supplied to LA-110 through a standard 3-prong socket.
AC power should be supplied via a 1.5m (5 ft) standard power cable terminated
by a standard 3-prong socket. A cable is provided with the unit.
To connect AC power:
1. Connect the power cable to the power connector on the LA-110 rear panel.
2. Connect the power cable to the mains outlet.
The unit turns on automatically upon connection to the mains.

Connecting the Power 2-13


Chapter 2 Installation LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Connecting DC Power
A special IEC 60320 adapter for the -48/-60 VDC power connection is supplied
with the unit.
To connect DC power:
• Refer to the DC power supply connection supplement for instructions how to
wire the DC adapters, and to the Handling Energized Products section.

Connecting the External Power Supply


LA-110 with the FXS, ISDN BRI and PRI interfaces receive power from an external
power supply (see Figure 2-8).
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the
device) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal can make the device
dangerous. Intentional interruption is prohibited.

Before switching this LA-110 unit on and before connecting any other cable,
LA-110 protective earth terminals must be connected to protective ground.
This connection is made through the DC and AC power cables and the AC
Warning power supply unit. The AC power cord plug should only be inserted in an
outlet provided with a protective ground (earth) contact. The protective action
must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power cable) without a
protective conductor (grounding).
Dangerous voltages may be present on the cables connected to the LA-110:
• Never connect cables to an LA-110 unit if it is not properly installed and
grounded. This means that its power cable must be inserted in an outlet
provided with a protective ground (earth) contact before connecting any
user or network (uplink) cable to the LA-110.
• Disconnect all the cables connected to the connectors of the LA-110 before
disconnecting the LA-110 power cable.

Caution LA-110 does not have a power on/off switch, and therefore it will start operating as
soon as power is applied. It is recommended to use an external power on/off
switch to control the connection of power to the LA-110. For example, the circuit
breaker used to protect the supply line to the LA-110 may also serve as the on/off
switch.

To connect the external power supply


1. Push the 6-pin connector (see Figure 2-8) of the cable, on the output of the
external power supply unit (P/S-AC/5/3.3/-48) that RAD supplies, into POWER
on the back panel of LA-110, until it snaps into place.
2. Connect the 3-pronged input plug of the external power supply unit to a
2m (6.6 ft) standard power cable, and then to the mains outlet.

3.2 Preliminary Configuration Using Plug & Play

General Information

Purpose
The purpose of the plug & play function is to enable fully automatic configuration
of a newly installed LA-110 unit from a remote location, inband, through the same
uplink that is used to connect the LA-110 to the ATM network.
Plug & play is actually achieved by performing the following sequence of
operations:
1. Automatic assignment of inband management IP address to LA-110.
2. Use of inband management to perform manual configuration of parameters
(using a Telnet host, or an SNMP-based network management station) and/or
download a complete configuration database (using TFTP) that contains all the
parameters needed by the specific LA-110 to provide the subscribed services
to the user’s equipment connected to its ports, in accordance with the terms of
the service contract.
Note LA-110 software can also be updated, using TFTP for downloading.

When Plug & Play can be Used


The plug & play function is active whenever the LA-110 uses the factory-default
parameters. The specific parameter values necessary for plug & play are as follows:
• Inband management VCC: 0.32 and enabled
• Inband management IP address: 0.0.0.0.

You can restore the factory-default parameters at any time, by entering the INIT
DB command (command line interface) or by selecting Factory Default in the
Configuration > System menu (menu-driven interface).
Note If you cannot communicate with the LA-110, restore the factory-default parameters
via Boot Manager, using the procedure of Appendix E.

3-4 Preliminary Configuration Using Plug & Play


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Operation and Preliminary Configuration

How Plug & Play is Started


When the default parameter values are loaded, LA-110 learns its new inband
management IP address from the destination IP address carried in the first IP
packet received through the default inband management VCC (the address is
usually set using the DEF ADDR ATM command). This is sufficient for Telnet
access.
Moreover, if the first packet is an SNMP packet, LA-110 also adds the source IP
address as a manager (the address is usually set with the ADD NMS command).
After learning these parameters, the plug & play functionality is disabled, and
LA-110 is subject to the regular management and configuration rules.
Note Whenever necessary, the plug & play functionality can be enabled again by
restoring the factory-default parameters by selecting Reset from the Configuration >
System menu.

Preparations
The plug & play function is immediately available after the uplink is synchronized
(this is indicated by the WAN indicator lighting steadily in green).

Procedure for Plug & Play


To use Plug & Play:
1. Use the plug & play function to assign an IP address to the inband
management port of the LA-110 unit without the intervention of a local
operator. For example, send via Telnet a command through the inband
management VCC (or the RADview station may try to contact the LA-110 via
SNMP).
2. Using a Telnet host and the supervision language described in Appendix C, use
the procedure described in Appendix D to download a configuration file using
TFTP. At this stage, the downloading can also be made through the LA-110
LAN port.
The new configuration takes effect after LA-110 is reset (this occurs automatically
after successful downloading).

Preliminary Configuration Using Plug & Play 3-5


Chapter 3 Operation and Preliminary Configuration LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

3.3 Preliminary Configuration


This section covers the general preliminary activities needed when plug-&-play
function is not used. In this case, the complete set of LA-110 configuration
operations can be performed from an ASCII terminal connected to the CONTROL
port on LA-110 rear panel. The supported functions include modification of the
configuration and mode of operation, including setting system default values.
All configuration and monitoring activities are performed, using the following two
methods:
• By entering commands (command line interface)
• By selecting options in menus (menu-driven terminal interface and Web-based
ConfiguRAD).
The same functions can also be performed from a remote site using Telnet hosts or
SNMP-based network management stations. For detailed information, refer to the
user manuals covering the corresponding management facilities.
To prevent unauthorized modification of the operating parameters, LA-110
supports two access levels:
• Superuser – can perform all the activities supported by the LA-110
management facility
• User – can only access the status and performance monitoring screens, but
cannot perform traffic-affecting activities (for example, in the user access mode
it is not possible to modify the LA-110 configuration and operation mode).

The access level for the current session is determined by the user name and
password entered at the beginning of the session.
The access level can be changed only after the current session ends.

Forced Login
When you use the device for the first time, you must change the password (from
the default password).
To login (terminal):
1. Enter the default password.
2. Toggle between Superuser and User mode, using F and B keys.
3. Enter current password (1234 for Superuser mode or 1234user for User
mode).
4. Enter New Password.
5. Enter New Password again (for confirmation).

Preparation for Preliminary Configuration


To perform a local configuration, connect a terminal to the CONTROL port on the
LA-110 front panel, as described in Section 3.1 – Preparations.

CONTROL Port Characteristics


LA-110 communicates with the supervision terminal through the CONTROL
connector.
• Supported data rates: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600
and 115200 bps. In addition, when the Auto function is enabled, the
CONTROL port can recognize the operating data rate of the terminal by
analyzing the timing of three consecutive Carriage Return + Line Feed
characters (generated by pressing <Enter> three times. The detected data rate
is then used for the current communication session. The default value is
115200 bps.
• Start bits: 1
• Word format: 7 or 8 data bits
• Parity: Odd, Even, or Disabled
• Stop bits: 1.

Terminal Characteristics
Any standard ASCII terminal (dumb terminal or personal computer emulating an
ASCII terminal) equipped with an RS-232 communication interface can be used to
control the LA-110 operation. For best results, it is recommended to use VT-100
terminal emulation.

Preliminary Configuration 3-7

Software
The software necessary to run the LA-110 supervision program is contained in the
LA-110 device. Moreover, LA-110 stores all the configuration information
generated or altered during the communication with the terminal: no information
is stored in the terminal.
Telnet (IP) Host Characteristics
Typically, the Telnet host is a PC or a UNIX station, with the appropriate suite of
TCP/IP protocols. The host can be directly connected to the LAN connector of the
managed LA-110.
However, the host may also be located at a remote site, the only requirement
being that IP communication is established between that site and LA-110.

2. Once the target screen is displayed, select a value from the drop-down box or
enter it in a text box.
Some of the LA-110 menus have a 'Save' option. When choosing options from
these menus, you must confirm your choice by selecting 'Save', otherwise your
entry will be ignored.
At the left-hand bottom corner ConfiguRAD provides some auxiliary management
tools:
• Status – shows the number of users currently managing LA-110
• Trace – opens an additional pane for system messages, progress indicators
(ping, software and configuration file downloads) and alarms. It is
recommended to keep the trace pane open all the time.
• Refresh All – refreshes all ConfiguRAD display elements.

Logging Out
To end the current session:
• In the Main menu, click Logout.

Note LA-110 allows only one management session to be active at a time. If the
Web-based management session was not ended properly (for example, by closing
the Web browser window), you have to wait five minutes before attempting the
next log-in. If you try to log in during the five-minute security timeout, LA-110 does
not allow to proceed to the Main menu, displaying ‘Too Many Users’ message.
Likewise, the Web-based management session cannot be initiated, if a terminal or
Telnet session is still in progress.

3.4 LA-110 Supervision Language

Supervision Language Syntax


• Except when starting a new session, commands can be entered only when the
working prompt is displayed. The default working prompt is LA110>. The
prompt always appears at the beginning of a new line, and the cursor appears
to the right of the prompt.
• Commands are case-insensitive, for example, you can type commands in
either lower case and/or upper case letters, and they will be interpreted as
upper case only. The only exception is the DEF NAME command, which
enables the user to change the working prompt: you can use both lower-case
and upper-case letters, and your entry is accepted and used as is.

LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 3 Operation and Preliminary Configuration

• Commands addressed to a specific port identify that port by its type. For your
convenience, the port type designators are listed below:
NETWORK – uplink (ATM) port
LAN – LAN port
USER – the user port(s) installed on the LA-110: E1, ISDN or FXS
DATA – serial synchronous DATA port.
• In the various commands, you may use IF instead of INTERFACE.
• To correct typing errors, backspace by pressing the <Backspace> key until
the error is cleared, and then type the correct characters.
• To clear the whole command string before its entry is completed, press
<Ctrl+C> (that is, hold the <Ctrl> key down and type C). This will display
the LA-110 prompt, and you can enter a new command.
• The screens present one line at a time.
• To advance to the next field in the same line, press <Tab> (sometimes space
is also accepted).
• To select among a list of predefined parameters within a field, press F
(forward) or B (backward).
• If a field requires an alphanumerical entry, type the desired characters.
• After selecting the desired values in the current line, press the <Enter> key to
advance to the next line. The next line of parameters is displayed only after the
<Enter> key is pressed.
• Commands must end with a carriage return <Enter>.
• You can edit the previous command by pressing <Ctrl+A>. LA-110 stores the
last command in a special buffer, and <Ctrl+A> retrieves the previous
command from that buffer. The retrieved command appears on the command
line: to edit it, press the <Backspace> key to clear the section to be changed,
and then type the desired characters.
• Press <Ctrl+D> to execute the last command again.
• To obtain help, type H.
• After pressing <Enter> in the last data field line, LA-110 checks its validity.
If the command is accepted, you will see the current date and time
(retrieved from the real-time clock of LA-110), following by the prompt,
and executes the command.
In case an error is detected during the command evaluation, the command
is not executed. Instead, the terminal displays an error message that
explains the problem. The correct command must then be entered again.
Some of the parameter values entered by the user are also evaluated even
during command entry.

Diagnostics
This chapter describes the LA-110 diagnostic functions and provides
troubleshooting instructions.

4.1 Diagnostic Tests

LOOPback Functions
LA-110 supports several types of loopbacks. All the available loopback functions
are described in the following paragraphs, including loopbacks supported only by
interfaces available only upon order. Therefore, ignore loopbacks related to
interfaces not available on your LA-110.
Loopbacks are activated by means of the LOOP command, and therefore in the
following paragraphs the loopbacks are identified by the designation displayed by
the supervision terminal.
At any time, only one loopback can be activated. Therefore, when a new loopback
is activated, any previous user-controlled loopback is automatically deactivated.

REMOTE NETWORK Loopback


The remote network loopback returns the cells received through the uplink toward
the network.
This loopback should be activated only when the uplink is synchronized.
Figure 4-1 shows the signal paths for a typical remote network loopback.
This test performs a complete check of the WAN link through the ATM network,
including the transmission plant connecting the two LA-110 units, and the network
interface and ATM processor of the local LA-110.

LOCAL DATA Loopback


The local data port loopback returns the user data port transmit data via the
receive path of the port, to the user’s equipment connected to the port. During
the loopback, the local LA-110 sends an “All 1s” pattern (payload) to the remote
end of the link.
While the loopback is activated, the equipment connected to the corresponding
data port of LA-110 provides the test signal, and must receive its own transmission.

Note that the user's equipment connected to the local data port must be able to
operate properly when receiving its own signal, otherwise it will enter an alarm
state when the loopback is activated. If the equipment can operate normally
during the loopback, it must operate normally.
This test performs a complete check of the connections to the user's equipment,
and of the data port interface.

REMOTE DATA Loopback


The remote data port loopback returns the received data port signal toward the
network.
The loopback is performed within the data port interface, by connecting the data
port receive signal to the input of its transmit path. The equipment connected to
the remote end of the link provides the test signal, and must receive its own
transmission. Figure 4-3 shows a typical remote data port loopback.
Note that the user's equipment must be able to operate properly when receiving
its own signal, otherwise it will enter an alarm state when the loopback is
activated. If the equipment can operate normally during the loopback, it must
operate normally.
The equipment connected to the local LA-110 starts receiving “All 1s” pattern
(unframed) stream.
This test performs a complete check of the data link through the ATM network,
including the cables connecting the remote equipment to the LA-110, the
transmission plant connecting the LA-110 unit, and the LA-110 unit itself.

REMOTE USER Loopback


The remote user loopback returns the received E1 signal toward the network. The
loopback is performed within the E1 port interface.
Note The loopback cannot be used when the LA-110 uses the voice compression mode
(an ordering option).
While the loopback is activated, the equipment connected to the E1 port of the
remote LA-110 provides the test signal and must receive its own transmission.
The equipment connected to the local LA-110 starts receiving “All 1s” pattern (AIS).
Figure 4-4 shows the signal paths for a typical remote USER loopback. This test
fully checks the data link through the ATM network, including the cables
connecting the remote equipment to the LA-110, the transmission plant

REMOTE REMOTE DATA Loopback


When the remote remote data port loopback is activated in the local
LA-110, the unit sends a proprietary loopback activation code in the AAL1 header.
This code initiates the remote data loopback in the remote RAD’s unit, returning
the received data port signal toward the network. In order to enable sending of the
loopback activation code, you must use the ADD CONN DATA command to set
the Connection Type to of the AAL1 stream to STRUCTURED (SIGNAL
TRANSPORT).
The loopback is performed within the data port interface of the remote RAD’s
unit, by connecting the data port receive signal to the input of its transmit path.
The equipment connected to the local end of the link provides the test signal, and
must receive its own transmission.
The equipment connected to the data interface on the remote LA-110 starts
receiving an “All 1s” pattern (unframed) stream during the test.
Figure 4-6 shows a typical remote remote data loopback.
Note that the user's equipment must be able to operate properly when receiving
its own signal, otherwise it will enter an alarm state when the loopback is
activated. If the equipment can operate normally during the loopback, it must
operate normally.
This test performs a complete check of the data link through the ATM network,
including the cables connecting the local equipment to the LA-110, the
transmission plant connecting the remote RAD’s unit, and the remote unit itself.

Troubleshooting Voice Transmission Supported by ISDN Ports


When using an LA-110 equipped with ISDN ports, use the following procedure to
identify the cause of voice communication problems:
1. Check for good synchronization using the DSP PM NETWORK command.
2. Check using the DSP CONN USER command that all the D channels received
CID numbers from the voice gateway.
3. Check that when the ISDN phone is off-hook, the DSP PM ATM command
indicates an RX and TX traffic of 180 cells per second.
4. Check that while the ISDN phone is off-hook, the corresponding port of the
V5 switch connected to the voice gateway that serves the corresponding ISDN
port is in the Activate state.
5. Using the DSP PM USER command, check that the number of HDLC frames
increases each time you take the ISDN phone off-hook.

Troubleshooting Voice Transmission Supported by FXS Ports


When using an LA-110 equipped with FXS ports, use the following procedure to
identify the cause of voice communication problems.
1. Perform Steps 1, 2, 4 described above for an LA-110 equipped with ISDN
ports.
2. Using the DSP USER command, check that the port state is changed when you
take the phone off-hook.

Troubleshooting Data and E1 Ports


1. Check clock settings using the DSP SYS command.
2. Check clocks settings in all the user’s equipment served by the LA-110 link (for
example, PBX, routers).
3. Check that the configured bandwidth is sufficient, using the DSP PM
NETWORK command (the bandwidth is displayed in the Bit Rate field).

4-8 Troubleshooting
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 4 Diagnostics

4. Check that all the parameters defined by means of the DEF USER command
are compatible with the user’s equipment served by the LA-110.
5. For problems with transmission by data ports, use the DEF DATA command to
change the Invert Clock setting to ENABLE (if problem is not corrected, return
the previous setting).
6. Check for negligible errors on the uplink (ADSL or SHDSL) using the DSP PM
NETWORK command.
7. In case of problems with transmission through the E1 port, open the LA-110
case in accordance with the instructions given in Chapter 2 and check that all
the jumpers are in the correct position for the desired E1 interface type
(balanced or unbalanced).
8. Try to increase the jitter buffer size to at least than 20 ms (use the DEF
SYSPARAMS command and then send a RESET command to the LA-110).

Troubleshooting LAN Services


Use the following commands to monitor the reception and transmission of frames
to and from the LA-110 LAN port, and to locate the problem either to the LA-110
or to external equipment (for example, routers or bridges):
1. DSP PM ATM for analyzing cells transmitted at the ATM level.
2. DSP PM LAN for analyzing frames at the user’s side of the LAN port.
3. DSP PM CONN LAN for analyzing LAN frames transmitted at the ATM level.
4. DSP PM IP for analyzing IP frame transmission performance (in particular,
check the discarded frames).

4.3 Frequently Asked Questions


Q: What is the minimum cell rate supported by LA-110?
A: The minimal cell rate that can be supported by LA-110 is the maximum cell rate
(after synchronization) divided by 139 and rounded up.
For example:
If the DSL line is synchronized at 2312 kbps (5452 cells/sec), the minimal
supported connection rate is 2312/139=16634 bps (rounded up) (40 cells/sec).
If the DSL line is synchronized at 4608 kbps (10866 cells/sec), the minimal
supported connection rate is 4608/139=33152 bps (rounded up) (79 cells/sec).
Note
The cell rate displayed (DSP PM NETWORK command) in any 2-wire DSL line
contains an 8 kbps overhead over the actual data rate. When the device displays
synchronization at 2320 kbps, the actual data rate over which cells can be
transmitted is 2320-8=2312 kbps. When using 4W this applies to every 2W
separately. If the 4W is synchronized in 2*2312, the actual data rate is 2 * (2312-8)
= 2* 2304 = 4608

Frequently Asked Questions 4-9


Chapter 4 Diagnostics LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The above description specifies our ability to support minimum cell rate.
However, this raises several issues. For example, if the line has been
synchronized on 2-wire, then the minimum is 40 cell/sec. Later the device may
synchronize on 4-wire and then the minimum must change to 79 cells/sec.

Q: How do I calculate the LA-110 packetization delay per ATM cell for CES applications?
A: Calculating the LA-110 packetization delay per ATM cell:
Delay per cell = 47 / (8000 × N), where:
47 – Number bytes per cell in AAL1
8000 – Number of bytes in one timeslot
N – number of timeslots.
For example:
Delay for 64 kbps = 47/(8000 × 1) = 0.005875 = 5.875 msec
Delay for 128 kbps = 47/(8000 × 2) = 0.002937 = 2.937 msec
Delay for 192 kbps = 47/(8000 × 3) = 0.001958 = 1.958 msec
Delay for 384 kbps = 47/(8000 × 6) = 0.000979 = 979 µsec

To the results, add an additional 4 msec delay for the LA-110 processing time.

Q: Can a standard ISDN bus with S interface be terminated on the LA-110 BRI port?
A: The LA-110 BRI interface is used only as a physical extension of a standard ISDN bus
with an S interface over an ATM network. It does not terminate the S interface, and
it does not deal with messages. Two extension applications are possible using the
LA-110 with ISDN ports:
ISDN S interface to voice gateway.
ISDN S interface to another ISDN S interface (using LA-110 units on each
side).
You may connect any type of device (phones, computer fax modem) to the ISDN
bus and the LA-110 110 will provide the physical medium to support transmission
over an ATM network.

Q: In CDVT 'Optimization YES', when does LA-110 decide to send the cell?
A: LA-110 schedules the VC cells in the required spacing, according to the shaping
parameters (PCR in AAL1).

Q: How does LA-110 handle VLAN priority?


A: In bridging and routing mode, LA-110 supports transparent transmission of VLAN
frames up to 1522 bytes.

Configuring LA-110 for
Typical Applications

5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides detailed instructions for configuring the most common
LA-110 applications. It includes:
• Configuring timing reference
• Configuring network uplink
• Serial data port applications
• E1 port applications
• FXS port application
• ISDN applications
• LAN port applications.

Each section shows the appropriate interface connections for those applications on
the LA-110 rear panel.

5.2 Configuring Timing Reference


For any application, a clock source must be determined before configuring the
LA-110 network and user interfaces.
The LA-110 system timing can be locked to the following clock sources:
• Internal clock
• Adaptive clock
• Derived from the main link
• Network Timing Reference (NTR).

To configure the timing reference:


• Type: def clock

Configuring Timing Reference 5-1


Chapter 5 Configuring LA-110 for Typical Applications LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The following clocking configurations are available:


• Internal clock: the timing of the sub-network and network interfaces is locked
to the IAD’s internal clock oscillator. This option may be used when two IADs
are connected back-to-back (without a DSLAM or ATM switch).
• Adaptive clock: the clock is regenerated from the ATM cells arrival rate. Use
this clocking option when the DSLAM does not support NTR, or in back-to-
back applications.
• Derived from the main link: the clock can be derived from the uplink. LA-
110 locks the clock and supplies it to its interfaces.
• NTR (Network Timing Reference): LA-110 recovers the clock from the 8 kHz
NTR clock. This is the recommended clock mode.

5.3 Configuring Network Uplink


LA-110 provides access to the ATM network using xDSL technologies.
Before different services can be offered (LAN, FR, E1 etc), LA-110 must be
synchronized opposite the DSLAM.
The technologies for connection to a DSLAM are:
• SHDSL
• ADSL.

Option Description
OFF TWO-WAY The continuity check function is disabled, i.e., LA-110 will not transmit, nor expect to
receive, CC cells from the ATM network through the corresponding connection
ON-SOURCE When there is no payload traffic for transmission on this connection, LA-110 will
transmit CC cells toward the ATM network.
This enables the remote equipment to monitor the continuity of the transmit path from
the LA-110 to the network, on the new connection.
ON-SINK LA-110 expects to receive CC cells from the ATM network. If there is no payload traffic,
and no CC cells were received during the last three seconds, LA-110 will declare a
loss-of-continuity fault, and start transmitting RDI cells on the VCC used by this
connection.
This enables LA-110 to monitor the continuity of the receive-from-ATM network path.
ON TWO-WAY During periods without payload traffic, LA-110 transmits and expects to receive CC cells
from the ATM network. The response in case the connection does not carry payload
traffic, and no CC cells are received, is described above.

categories.

C-14 Command Set Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Supervision Language

Considerations for Selection of Traffic Contract Parameters


During the selection of parameters for a new connection, you must perform two
decisions:
• Select the ATM service category, in accordance with the category whose
description best matches the requirements of the application using the new
connection. The available selections are described in Table C-3.
• Select values for the parameters that control traffic handling (called traffic
contract parameters) for the selected ATM service category, for example, PCR,
and where applicable, SCR, MBS or MDCR.
The traffic contract parameters are given as cells per second. This is how to relate
the ATM traffic capacity, in cells per second, to the configured and available
bandwidth:
1. Determine the ATM payload carrying capacity (bandwidth) of the LA-110
uplink. This value is the lower of the following two values:
Configured rate
Actual rate, which is determined by the link synchronization rate.
In general, the maximum ATM payload carrying capacity (bandwidth) of the
LA-110 uplink depends on the interface type: for ADSL and SHDSL, this is
2312 kbps less 8 kHz of overhead, that is, 2304 kbps.
2. Convert the cell rate to the equivalent data rate, using the following
procedure:
An ATM cell includes 53 bytes or 424 bits.
Therefore, at the maximum payload rate supported by an ADSL or SHDSL
uplink (2312 kbps), the maximum ATM cell rate (taking into account the
nominal data rate and the ATM cell size of 53 bytes, or 424 bits) is limited
to 5453 cells per second.
In a basic ATM cell, a minimum of 5 bytes is inserted before every
48 payload bytes to carry the ATM cell header. Therefore, the payload
carrying capacity must be reduced by the ratio of payload bytes to total
number of bytes per cell, which is constant (53).
For example, the maximum payload data rate at a 2312 kbps line rate is
approximately 48/53 × 2312 = 2094 kbps. If the actual link
synchronization rate is lower, the rate is proportionally lower.
Note More complex cell structures may have lower payload carrying capacity, for
example, 47 or 46 bytes. Padding bytes may also be intentionally inserted to reduce
the assembly delay, and this may further decrease the net payload rate.
The values to be assigned to the traffic contract parameters must be selected so as
to meet the requirements of the application that will use the new connection,
while also considering the bandwidth requirements for all the connections serving
other ports.

Command Set Description C-15


Appendix C Supervision Language LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The reason for this is that all the connections share the same transmission link, that
is, LA-110 uplink. Correct allocation of bandwidth is therefore critical to ensure
good quality of service for all the users. The following approach is recommended:
1. Start by reserving bandwidth to all the AAL1 and AAL2 applications, and to
any AAL5 applications that need CBR. For the LA-110, the applications that
need CBR are those using the user port(s), that is, the E1, FXS or ISDN ports as
installed on your unit.
2. Assign bandwidth to applications needing VBR, in accordance with the
expected traffic statistics.
3. Any other applications may use only UBR+ or UBR.
ATM traffic, as well as the traffic generated by many applications, is bursty (its rate
changes abruptly). To enable efficient utilization of the available uplink bandwidth,
it is necessary to smooth out the traffic: for this purpose, first-in, first out buffers
(FIFO) must be allocated to each connection to temporarily store traffic before it is
sent out to the uplink, at a rate constrained by the user-selected traffic contract
parameters of each connection. Since the total number of buffers available in the
LA-110 is limited, make sure to allocate efficiently the available buffers.
As long as the average data rate of all the connections does not exceed the
available uplink bandwidth, few cells are lost. Note however that cells may be
intentionally discarded to meet the traffic contract parameters; they may also be
lost in the ATM network as a result of congestion.
The combined actions described above are called traffic shaping. An important
characteristic of the LA-110 is its advanced traffic shaping capabilities.

Priority Mapping Application


This section describes how to set up a bridge to forward frames according to their
priority tags. For example, the LA-110 internal bridge includes two ports:
• LAN port (Ethernet side)
• Port 1 (ATM side).
Bridge port 1 includes three VCs that terminate in the same device, but each of
them has different shaping and QoS parameters in order to achieve traffic
prioritization. The Ethernet frames are forwarded to one of the VCs according to
priority tags:
• Frames with priority from 0 to 2 are transmitted on VC 1
• Frames with priority 3 are transmitted on VC 2
• Frames with priority from 4 to 7 are transmitted on VC 3.

ADD BUNDLE

Purpose
Create a timeslot bundle on the LA-110 E1 user port. This command is accepted
only when the LA-110 has an E1 user port.
A bundle is a group of user-selected timeslots: this group is then handled as a
single entity with respect to transmission to the ATM network, that is, you must
define a separate connection for each bundle.
The bundle configuration parameters depend on the AAL type. For AAL2, they
also depend on the application identifier (both are selected by means of the DEF
SYSPARAMS command):
• When using AAL1 in any supported application mode (CES, DB-CES or
transparent):
Minimum number of timeslots in a bundle: 1
Maximum number of timeslots in a bundle when the E1 port uses G732N
framing: 31
Maximum number of timeslots in a bundle when the E1 port uses G732S
framing: 30 (in this framing mode, timeslot 16 cannot be included in any
bundle).
It is not possible to define bundles when the E1 port is in unframed or UNI
mode.
• When using AAL2, bundles can be defined only when using CAS (the
corresponding application identifier is identified in the DEF SYSPARAMS
command as CAS for POTS and DSS1 for ISDN (without ELCP)). With AAL2,
a bundle can have a single timeslot.
Each bundle is automatically assigned the next free bundle index number. To see
the bundles already defined and their properties, use the DSP BUNDLE
command.
Note
For the LA-110 units with the E1 network interface maximum number of timeslots
assigned to all opened bundles cannot exceed 26.

ADD CONN DATA

Purpose
Define the ATM network connection parameters for the data port. This command
is accepted only if the LA-110 has a data port.
The number of connections and the connection parameters depend on the data
port application mode: Frame Relay or AAL1 Stream. The application mode is
selected by means of the DEF DATA command.
• AAL1 Stream: this application mode is used to transport the bit stream
received by the data port, transparently, over the ATM network. Therefore, in
this mode only a single connection can be set up for the data port, and any
attempt to add another connection is rejected with a No more VCCs for new
connections message.
• Frame Relay: in this application mode, up to 16 different connections can be
set up. Therefore, in this mode, the data port can support up to 16 Frame
Relay connections (each with its own DLCI). If the total number of different
connections is exceeded, you must delete an existing connection, using the
DEL CONN DATA command, before a new one can be added.
Each connection is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1
to 16: this number is then used for all the commands which refer to a specific
connection. You can use the DSP CONN DATA command to display
information on the existing connections.
The Frame Relay application mode supports two interworking functions:
Service interworking in accordance with FRF.8
Network interworking in accordance with FRF.5.
Different parameters can be defined in each mode.
The following sections explain the connection parameters for each data port
application mode. Make sure to review also the Considerations for Selection of
Traffic Contract Parameters section on page C-15.

ADD CONN USER


Purpose
Define the ATM network connection parameters for the user port(s) of the LA-110.
The parameters defined by this command depend on the following factors:
• The type of user port(s) installed in the LA-110 unit (this depends on the
ordered configuration). The available options are:
4 analog voice ports with FXS interfaces
4 ISDN “S” BRI ports with NT or TE interfaces
One E1 port.
• The ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL1 or AAL2) configured by the user. The AAL,
and when AAL2 is selected – the application identifier, are configured by
means of the DEF SYSPARAMS command.
The ADD CONN USER command is accepted only if the LA-110 has a user port,
and presents only the parameters applicable to the current LA-110 configuration.

Syntax
ADD CONN USER

Use
1. To add a new connection to the user port, type:
ADD CONN USER<Enter>
You will see a message that indicates the ATM adaptation layer currently
configured, following by a message that depends on the user port interface:
When the user port has FXS and ISDN interfaces, you are prompted to
enter the number of the port within the interface. Type the desired
number, 1 to 4, and then press <Enter>.
Note If a connection has already been defined for the port number entered by you, the
command is aborted and you see a message that explains the reason.
If you entered the wrong port number, start the command again; however, if the
port number is correct but a connection has already been defined, first delete the
existing connection using the DEL CONN USER command.
When the user port has an E1 interface, LA-110 automatically assigns an
index number to the new connection (this is always the first free index).
This number must then be used by all the commands that refer to this
user port connection.
At this stage, you will see the first section of the connection configuration
form.

rejecting your command.
The following sections provide configuration procedures for the various types of
user ports and configurations.

ADD CONN USER – FXS Ports over AAL1


When configuring a connection for an FXS port over AAL1, the configuration
procedure depends on the connection type selected by the user:
• CES. In this mode, each FXS port has its own ATM connection. The payload is
transported using the ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES) Version 2.0 defined
in AF-VTOA-0078.000. The transmission uses the structured CES mode: in this
mode, the port payload is transported as an independent 64 kbps stream using
the cell structure corresponding to the framing mode selected by the user (E1,
T1 using SF framing or T1 using ESF framing).
• DB-CES. This mode is a variation of CES defined in ATMF specification
AF-VTOA-0085.000. DB-CES enables better utilization of available uplink
bandwidth by using the voice channel activity information carried by the
signaling bits of the port to request uplink bandwidth when the channel is
active (off-hook), and release the bandwidth when the channel is idle
(on-hook). The cell structure depends on the framing mode selected by the
user (E1, T1 using SF framing or T1 using ESF framing).
• Transparent. This mode uses the unstructured CES mode defined in ATMF
specification AF-VTOA-0078.000. In this mode, the LA-110 handles the port
payload as a single 64 kbps bit stream which is transparently transported over
the ATM connection, without any assumptions regarding the framing.
Transparent mode is available for E1 framing only.

ADD CONN USER – FXS Ports over AAL2


LA-110 supports LES over AAL2 as defined in ATMF AF-VMOA-0145.000,
including support for ELCP.
When configuring a connection for an FXS port over AAL2, make sure to select an
application identifier that supports POTS interfaces.
When using AAL2, several FXS ports can share the same ATM connection: the
multiplexing is performed by means of the channel identifier (CID):
• When using an application identifier which supports ELCP, the LA-110 assigns
default CID values of 0; the actual CIDs are automatically configured by the
voice gateway as soon as an ATM connection over the selected PVC is
established.
• For other application identifiers, you can define the desired CID. The default
CID allocation is as follows:
FXS port 1: 16
FXS port 2: 17
FXS port 3: 18
FXS port 4: 19
This default allocation is in accordance with the ATMF standard, and therefore
if the voice gateway uses the same assignment, voice service can start as soon
as the ATM connection is established.

including support for ELCP.
When configuring a connection for an ISDN port over AAL2, make sure to select
an application identifier that supports ISDN BRI interfaces.
When using AAL2, several ports can share the same ATM connection: the
multiplexing is performed by means of the channel identifier (CID):
• When using an application identifier which supports ELCP, the LA-110 assigns
default CID values of 0; the actual CIDs are automatically configured by the
voice gateway as soon as an ATM connection over the selected PVC is
established.
• For other application identifiers, you can define the desired CID. The default
CID allocation is given in Table C-12.

ADD CONN USER – E1 Port over AAL1

Overview
When using AAL1, the E1 port can be operated in three framing modes (selected
by means of the DEF USER command):
• Unframed: this mode is used to transport the 2048 kbps bit stream received
by the E1 port, transparently, over the ATM network. Therefore, in this mode
only a single connection can be set up for the E1 port, and any attempt to add
another connection is rejected with a No more VCCs for new connections
message.
• G732S framing: this mode is used for applications using channel-associated
signaling. In this mode, each timeslot carries an independent voice channel,
and the signaling information of all the channels is multiplexed in timeslot 16
(see details in Appendix F). When using G732S framing, the connections are
actually defined for timeslot bundles (see the ADD BUNDLE command for
details).
The configuration procedure depends on the connection type selected by the
user:
CES. In this mode, each timeslot bundle has its own ATM connection. The
payload is transported using the ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES)
Version 2.0 defined in AF-VTOA-0078.000. The transmission is made in
the structured CES mode: in this mode, each bundle is transported as an
independent n×64 kbps stream (where n is the number of timeslots in the
bundle), together with its signaling information. However, the user can also
disable the transport of the signaling information of the bundle, for
example, when the bundle actually carries a data stream in a fractional E1
application.

C-40 Command Set Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Supervision Language

DB-CES. This mode is a variation of CES relevant for voice channels that
has been defined in ATMF specification AF-VTOA-0085.000. DB-CES
enables better utilization of available uplink bandwidth by using the voice
channel activity information carried by the four signaling bits (A, B, C, D) of
the individual timeslots in each bundle to request uplink bandwidth when
the channel carried by a timeslot is active (off-hook), and release the
bandwidth when the channel is idle (on-hook). The cell structure depends
on the framing mode selected by the user (E1, T1 using SF framing or T1
using ESF framing).
Transparent. This mode uses the unstructured CES mode defined in ATMF
specification AF-VTOA-0078.000. In this mode, the LA-110 handles each
bundle as a n×64 kbps bit stream which is transparently transported over an
ATM connection.
• G732N framing: this mode is used for applications that do not use channel-
associated signaling. However, the configuration options are similar to those
for the G732S framing.
The following sections describe the connection configuration options available for
the unframed and framed (G732S and G732N) modes when using AAL1.

LA-110 supports LES over AAL2 as defined in ATMF AF-VTOA-0145.000,
including support for ELCP.
When configuring a connection for an E1 port over AAL2, it is necessary to select
the application identifier LES using CAS for POTS & DSS1 for BRI (without
ELCP). Note that in this case, the E1 port framing mode must be configured (by
means of the DEF USER command) to use the G732S framing mode.
The connections are actually defined for timeslot bundles (see the ADD BUNDLE
command for details), however when using AAL2 each bundle consists of a single
timeslot.
When using AAL2, several bundles can share the same ATM connection: the
multiplexing is performed by means of the channel identifier (CID).

address pool must be defined in only one of the nets.
The ADD DHCP command is accepted only when the LAN port is configured, by
means of the DEF LAN command, to operate in the Ethernet router mode, and the
LA-110 is configured, by means of the DEF SYSPARAMS command, to operate as a
DHCP server.

C-52 Command Set Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Supervision Language

ADD IP INTERFACE
Purpose
Define a new IP interface for the LA-110 IP router. The ADD IP INTERFACE
command is accepted only when the LAN port is configured, by means of the DEF
LAN command, to operate in the Ethernet router mode.
Three types of IP interfaces can be defined:
• Host interface: the host interface is a numbered interface. A host interface
must always be defined when an unnumbered WAN interface has been
defined. However, a host interface can be defined even when all the WAN
interfaces are numbered.
The host interface is intended for management purposes and for the exchange
of RIP and ping messages through an unnumbered interface.
• LAN interface: one or two interfaces located on the physical LAN port. A LAN
interface is always a numbered interface (that is, it is always assigned an IP
address). The LAN interfaces must be defined in different IP subnets. Each LAN
interface can be independently configured, and therefore can be used for
different applications.
In addition, the user can select whether to enable Routing IP Protocols (RIP I,
RIP II or both) on each LAN interface separately
• WAN interface: up to 16 interfaces located on the ATM uplink, which serve as
logical WAN ports for the IP router. Each WAN interface has its own ATM
connection, and therefore its ATM connection parameters can be
independently configured. The user can select whether to enable Routing IP
Protocols (RIP I, RIP II or both) on each WAN interface separately.
A WAN interface can be either a numbered or unnumbered interface. If one
or more of the WAN interfaces are unnumbered, it is necessary to define a
host interface.
The total number of IP interfaces that can be set up is 11: if the total number is
exceeded, you must delete an existing interface, using the DEL IP INTERFACE
command, before a new one can be added.
Each router interface is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1
to 11: this number is then used for all the commands which refer to a specific
router interface. You can use the DSP IP INTERFACE command to display
information on the existing router interfaces.

Syntax
ADD IP INTERFACE or ADD IP IF

Use – General Procedure


1. To define a new IP interface, type:
ADD IP INTERFACE<Enter> or ADD IP IF<Enter>
You will see a message that indicates the index number assigned to the
new IP interface (this is always the first free index), followed by the field
used to select the type of IP interface.

Command Set Description C-53


Appendix C Supervision Language LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

2. Use the F and B keys to select the type of interface, and then press <Enter>.
At this stage, you will see the first section of the IP interface configuration
form.
3. Select the appropriate parameters in accordance with the information given
below, and then press <Enter> to continue to the next section.
4. Repeat the procedure as necessary until <Enter> is pressed for the last line.
The command is ended, and its result is displayed: either The interface was
added successfully, or a message that explains the reason for rejecting your
command.
The following sections provide configuration procedures for each IP interface type.

Use – Host IP Interface


A typical configuration data form for the host IP interface is shown below. The
screen includes only two fields:
• IP – used to enter the desired IP address. Note that the subnet mask restricts
the last digits of the IP address to odd digits.
• Mask – displays the IP subnet mask used for the host IP address. This mask
cannot be changed, and is used for your information.

Note
While working with PPPoA, there is a mode called Subnet Mask Negotiation. When
using this mode, the LAN IP interface can be configured without IP addresses. The
LAN address and mask are established from the remote server, using the PPP. The
LAN interface will not be activated until an IP address is allocated via the PPP.

ADD NAT

Purpose
Add a new network address translation (NAT) definition for a LAN or WAN port of
the IP router (it is not possible to define NAT translations for the host port).
The ADD NAT command is accepted only when the LA-110 LAN port is
configured as router (see DEF LAN command), and no routing protocol is defined.
LA-110 can simultaneously perform translations for up to 60 hosts and up to 300
sessions.
You may define up to 20 NAT definitions. If this number is exceeded, you must
delete an existing NAT, using the DEL NAT command, before a new one can be
added.
Each NAT definition is automatically assigned an index number in the range of
1 to 20; this number is then used in all the commands which refer to a specific
NAT. You can use the DSP NAT command to see the parameters of the currently
defined NAT definitions.

Syntax

The command parameters are explained in Table C-23. Specific instructions for
each NAT type are given in the following sections.

Table C-23. ADD NAT Command Parameters

Parameter Function Values


NAT Type Specify the NAT type DYNAMIC – Dynamic (temporary) translation
of virtual IP addresses to real IP addresses, in
accordance with the usage requirements
received from the hosts using virtual IP
addresses. This type is similar to the basic
traditional NAT, as described in RFC2663 and
RFC3022.
STATIC – Permanent translation of a specific
virtual IP address to a specific real IP address.
This is a form of bidirectional NAT, as
described in RFC2663.
TRANSPARENT – No translation: the real and
virtual IP addresses are identical. This is a form
of bidirectional NAT, as described in RFC2663.
SINGLE – Dynamic allocation of a single IP
address in accordance with usage requirements
received from the virtual IP addresses, using
transport identifiers (port numbers) for
multiplexing. This type is similar to NAPT, a
form of traditional NAT, as described in
RFC2663 and RFC3022.

Default: 0.0.0.0

Use – DYNAMIC NAT Type


When using the DYNAMIC NAT type, any virtual IP address can be translated to
any real IP address. Any specific translation remains in force as long as the host
using the virtual IP address is engaged in a session.
Therefore, for the DYNAMIC NAT type, it is necessary to enter two pairs of IP
address and associated subnet: one pair specifies the allowed range of real IP
addresses and the other pair specifies the allowed range of virtual IP addresses.

C-64 Command Set Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Supervision Language

Use – STATIC NAT Type


When using the STATIC NAT type, each virtual IP address in the specified virtual
range is translated to a real IP address in the specified real range. Any specific
translation remains in force as long as the host using the virtual IP address is
engaged in a session.
Therefore, for the STATIC NAT type, it is necessary to enter only three parameters:
• Real IP address and the associated subnet
• Virtual IP address. Since there must be a one-to-one correspondence between
real IP addresses and virtual IP addresses, the virtual subnet mask is
automatically set to the value entered for the real IP subnet, and cannot be
changed.

Use – SINGLE NAT Type


When using the SINGLE NAT type, each virtual IP address in the specified virtual
range is translated to the same real IP address (this is a many-to-one translation).
However, the different virtual addresses are assigned different transport identifiers
(port numbers). Any specific translation remains in force as long as the host using
the virtual IP address is engaged in a session.
Therefore, for the SINGLE NAT type, it is necessary to enter only three parameters:
• Virtual IP address and associated subnet, which defines the range of IP
addresses that may be translated.
• Real IP address. Since there is only one real IP address, the real subnet mask is
automatically set to 255.255.255.255 and cannot be changed.

Use – TRANSPARENT NAT Type


When using the TRANSPARENT NAT type, no translation is made: each IP address
in the specified virtual IP address range is always translated to same IP address on
the “real” side.
Therefore, for the TRANSPARENT NAT type, it is necessary to enter only two
parameters:
• Real and virtual IP address
• Real and virtual subnet mask.
A typical screen for the TRANSPARENT NAT type, as seen after all the selections
have been made, is shown below.

ADD NMS

Purpose
Define the IP address of a new network management station (NMS), and the
enterprise-specific traps that will be sent to the new network management station.
The maximum number of network management stations is 10. If this number is
exceeded, you must delete an existing station, using the DEL NMS command,
before a new one can be added.
Each NMS is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1 to 10: this
number is then used in all the commands which refer to a specific NMS. You can
use the DSP NMS command to see the parameters of the currently defined
network management stations.
When you allow sending general and alarm traps to a network manager, you can
mask or unmask each trap (general or interface-specific) via menu-driven interface
(see Masking Individual Alarms below). This feature is not available for the
command line interface.

ADD PAT

Purpose
Add a new port address translation (PAT) definition.
PAT is a static translation that specifies a unique mapping between a
[real IP address; port; protocol] and a [virtual IP address; port]. Its purpose is to
enable access from the real IP side to a host using a virtual IP address that is
included in an existing SINGLE NAT definition. Therefore, the new PAT translation
will be accepted only if a matching SINGLE NAT entry exists (matching means that
a SINGLE NAT entry has the same real IP and virtual entries).
You may define up to 10 PAT definitions. If this number is exceeded, you must
delete an existing PAT, using the DEL PAT command, before a new one can be
added.
Each PAT definition is automatically assigned an index number in the range of 1 to
10: this number is then used in all the commands which refer to a specific PAT.
You can use the DSP PAT command to see the parameters of the currently defined
PAT definitions.
The ADD PAT command is accepted only when the LA-110 LAN port is
configured as router (see DEF LAN command).

Syntax
ADD PAT

Command Set Description C-69

DEF CLOCK
Purpose
Define the reference timing source of the LA-110 system timing.
Note
When the reference timing source is changed, the LA-110 is automatically restarted.

Syntax
DEF CLOCK
1. To define the reference clock source, type:
DEF CLOCK<Enter>
You will see the first line of the reference clock selection data form, used to
select the reference timing. The available selections are as follows:
INTERNAL: LA-110 timing is determined by its internal clock oscillator. This
option should be used only when the LA-110 network port is configured as
CO side unit (see DEF NETWORK command).
ADAPTIVE CLOCK: LA-110 timing is locked to the average arrival rate of
the ATM cells carrying voice channels. This mode can be used to improve
voice transmission quality by decreasing the probability of buffer
underflow/overflow events for voice traffic, by ensuring that the internal
PCM bus clock rate is locked to the average rate of voice packets.
DERIVED FROM THE USER E1: LA-110 timing is locked to the clock signal
recovered from the E1 port receive signal (provided the LA-110 unit is
equipped with an E1 port). This mode locks the LA-110 timing to the timing
reference of the far end E1 equipment, which is usually accurate.
DERIVED FROM THE MAIN LINK (default): LA-110 timing is locked to the
clock signal recovered from the uplink receive signal. This is the
recommended mode, because it locks the LA-110 timing to the timing
reference of the ATM network (as received from the DSLAM to which it is
connected). The ATM network clock is usually highly accurate.
2. Press <Enter> and you are notified that the change will cause LA-110 to
restart, and required to confirm:
To confirm, type y
To abort, type n. In this case, nothing changes and the command is ended.
3. For all the selections except DERIVED FROM THE MAIN LINK, typing y ends
the command and initiates restarting.
When the DERIVED FROM THE MAIN LINK option is selected, LA-110 can
extract the NTR clock usually provided by the DSLAM and use it as its timing
reference. Therefore, after typing y an additional line is displayed to control
the use of the NTR:
NTR ENABLED – LA-110 locks its timing to the NTR clock extracted from
the uplink receive signal.
NTR DISABLED – LA-110 locks its timing to the clock signal recovered from
the uplink receive signal.

DEF PASSWORD
Purpose
Define and/or change the various passwords to be used to control access to the
LA-110 management facility. To prevent unauthorized modification of the
operating parameters, LA-110 supports two access levels:
• Superuser – can perform all the activities supported by the LA-110
management facility.
• User – can only access the status and performance monitoring activities, but
cannot perform traffic-affecting activities (for example, in the user access mode
it is not possible to modify the LA-110 configuration and operating mode).
The password can include up to 20 characters and/or numbers. Its evaluation is
case-sensitive, therefore pay attention to the case used for each character.

DEF PSTN

Purpose
Define the FXS interface signaling characteristics to be used for connection to the
PSTN. These parameters are needed to access local exchanges using V5 interfaces,
and their utilization is specified in ETSI 300 324-1.
Note ETSI 300 324-1 uses types to select parameter values. Default types are
automatically configured when a national protocol is selected, however the user
can also select the desired parameter values for each type.
The parameters configured by means of this command enable adapting the
signaling parameters of the FXS ports, which are described below, to the national
PSTN protocol.
The parameters that can be configured include:
• National protocol
• General parameters:
Collision priority
Metering pulse frequency
Minimum recognized on-hook, off-hook and hook-flash times.
• Customized values for the following types:
Ring cadences: up to 10 different cadence ring types. For each type, you
can define up to 10 ringing and silence periods.
Durations: up to 63 different duration types for the on-hook, off-hook and
hook-flash signals
Rates: up to 128 different rate types (in case of enabled metering).
Attenuations: up to 128 different attenuation types.
Pulse durations: up to 32 pulse duration types, each consisting of up to
5 different periods (ON periods and OFF periods).
Digit parameters for decadic dialing (ON period and OFF period).
The DEF PSTN command is accepted only under the following conditions:
• The LA-110 includes FXS user ports and is configured to support connections
to the PSTN.
• The LA-110 is configured to support connections to the PSTN. Connections to
the PSTN are supported only when the LA-110 is configured to use AAL2 and
the application identifier supports PSTN, that is:

continue to the next line.
4. Repeat the procedure to configure the other general parameters.
5. After the general parameters, you are prompted to confirm or skip the
selection of customized values for the various parameter types:
To add a custom parameter type, type Y when you see its Add prompt, and
then select the corresponding parameters in accordance with the
information given in Table C-39.
To skip to the next parameter, type N when you see the Add prompt. In
this case, the current parameter is assigned the value specified as a default
for the currently selected national protocol.
6. Repeat the procedure as necessary until <Enter> is pressed for the last line
and the command is ended.

C-190 Command Set Description


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C Supervision Language

DSP PM CONN OAM USER

Purpose
Display the OAM performance monitoring statistics for a selected user port
connection.
To see the list of connections defined on the specified user port and find the index
of the desired connection, use the DSP CONN USER command.
Since the OAM cells are processed by the ATM layer, the parameters collected for
OAM performance monitoring do not depend on the interface type, nor on the
application mode, of the user port installed on the LA-110 (FXS, ISDN or E1). The
differences among the statistics screens are as follows:
• The way the screens identify the user port connection
• The user port interface type displayed on the screen
• For ISDN screens, after selecting a port, you will see three separate screens, for
each channel (B1, B2 and D) of the port.
The OAM performance monitoring parameters are listed in Table C-55.
The performance statistics are continuously accumulated while the LA-110
operates. They can be cleared (reset to 0) using the CLR PM command. The
statistics are also cleared when the LA-110 is reset or powered up.

Syntax
DSP PM CONN OAM USER

Use
1. To display the OAM performance monitoring statistics for a selected user port
connection, type:
DSP PM CONN OAM USER<Enter>
2. Select the desired connection using one of the following methods:
For ISDN and FXS ports: display the desired port index, 1 to 4, by pressing
the F or B keys.
For E1 ports: type the desired connection number.
When ready, press <Enter> to display the performance statistics.
If the specified connection exists, LA-110 displays its OAM performance
monitoring statistics screen. Typical displays are shown below.
Each statistics display starts with information on the current date and time,
followed by the number of seconds in the current day (24-hour interval).
The VPI and VCI of the selected ATM connection, the index of the user
port connection using the corresponding ATM connection and the CID
currently assigned to that connection are also displayed, and are followed
by the user port interface type.
The displayed information is correct at the time the command has been received
by the LA-110. To refresh the display, repeat the command.

The display starts with a header that indicates the interface type, followed by
information on the current date and time, the number of seconds in the current
day (24-hour interval) and the number of 15-minute intervals for which statistics
are available.
The displayed status information and performance statistics parameters are
described in Table C-59. Each statistic parameter is displayed for three intervals:
• 1 second – the statistics collected during the last second.
• 15 min – the statistics collected during the current 15-minute interval.
• 24 hours – the statistics collected during the current 24-hour period. An
asterisk * following the 24 hours label indicates that data has not yet been
collected for a full 24-hour period (in this case, the number of intervals
displayed in the Intervals field of the header is less than 96).
When the F (full) option is used, an additional section follows the 24 hours line.
Each Interval line in this section displays data for one of the previous 15-minute
intervals of the current 24-hour period, starting with the most recent interval
(interval 1 always shows the most recent complete 15-minute interval).

Parameter Description
Intervals The number of intervals (up 96 intervals) for which performance monitoring information
can be displayed
Current Time The elapsed time (in seconds) since the beginning of the current interval, in seconds. The
range is 1 to 900 seconds
ES Displays the number of errored seconds (ES) in the corresponding 15-minute interval.
An errored second is any second containing one or more CRC error events, or one or more
OOF events, or one or more controlled slip events
UAS Displays the number of unavailable seconds (UAS) in the corresponding 15-minute interval.
An unavailable second is any second in which a failed signal state exists. A failed signal state
is declared when 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (SES) occur, and is cleared after
10 consecutive seconds of data are processed without a SES
SES Displays the number of severely errored seconds (SES) in the corresponding 15-minute
interval.
A SES is a second with 320 or more CRC error events, or one or more OOF events.
BES Displays the number of bursty errored seconds (BES) in the corresponding 15-minute
interval.
A BES is a second with 2 to 319 CRC error events.
LOFC Displays the count of loss-of-frame events (LOFC) in the corresponding 15-minute interval.
CSS Displays the number of controlled slip seconds (CSS) in the corresponding 15-minute
interval.
A CSS is a second with one or more controlled slip events.

The statistic parameters are provided for the following intervals:


• 1 second – the statistics collected during the last second
• 15 minutes – the statistics collected during the current 15-minute interval
• 24 hours –the statistics collected during the current 24-hour period. An
asterisk * following the 24 hours label indicates that data has not yet been
collected for a full 24-hour period (in this case, the number of intervals
displayed in the Intervals field of the header is less than 96).
A typical display for the full E1 port performance statistics is shown below. In
addition to the data displayed on the regular display, the full performance statistics
display presents the data collected for each 15-minute interval within the last 24
hours, and for each 24-hour interval within the last week:
• Each interval line in the section following the 24 hours line displays data for
one of the previous 15-minute intervals of the current 24-hour period, starting
with the most recent interval (interval 1 always shows the most recent
complete 15-minute interval).
• Each day line in the Week Statistics section displays the total data collected
for one of the previous 24-hour periods, starting with the most recent period
(interval 1 always shows the most recent complete 24-hour period).

Appendix D
Transferring Software and
Configuration Files
This appendix presents procedures for using the TFTP or HTTP protocol to
perform the following activities:
• Download (install) software
• Upload and/or download LA-110 configuration files.
Network administrators can use these procedures to distribute new software
releases and verified configuration files to all the managed LA-110 units in the
network from a central location.
To further expedite the configuration process, it is also possible to upload the
configuration data stored by LA-110 to a TFTP server as a standard disk file, and
then distribute this file to other units which use similar configuration. The same
procedure can be used to backup the configuration data of the managed units on
the management station or Telnet host: this enables the support personnel to
rapidly restore service in case of maintenance or replacement of user’s LA-110.
In addition, this appendix explains how to download new software releases via
Boot Manager.

D.1 Preparations for Using TFTP


The following conditions must be fulfilled before TFTP can be used:
1. The required suite of protocols (which includes as minimum the TCP/IP stack
and the TFTP server and client software) must be installed on the other
computer (the computer used to download files and/or accept uploaded files).
2. The TFTP protocol runs over IP, therefore it is necessary to ensure IP
connectivity between LA-110 and the other computer. For example, LA-110
and the other computer must be attached to the same LAN.
Note
IP connectivity can be checked using standard tools such as ping.
3. LA-110 must be operated in the router mode, and must be assigned an IP
address and the associated subnet mask. These parameters are configured by
means of the DEF LAN command (see Appendix C for detailed instructions).
4. You must obtain the IP address of the other computer.
5. If you intend to initiate TFTP transfer using a supervisory terminal connected to
the LA-110 CONTROL connector, make sure the LA-110 supervisory port is
properly configured. This is performed by means of the DEF SP PORT
command (see Appendix C for detailed instructions).
Alternatively, you may use a Telnet host that can communicate with LA-110
through its LAN port.

Preparations for Using TFTP D-1


Appendix D Transferring Software and Configuration Files LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

D.2 Transferring Files via TFTP


Before starting:
1. Obtain the list of distribution files to be downloaded, and check that the
required distribution files are stored on the TFTP server.
2. Make sure that the TFTP server can communicate with the LA-110, for
example, by sending pings to the IP address assigned to the LA-110.
Downloading Software Files

Appendix E
Database Initialization

E.1 Introduction
This appendix provides instructions for initializing the LA-110 database (that is,
reload the factory-default parameter values) during the reboot process.
This operation can usually be performed by using a supervisory terminal or Telnet
host to send an INIT DB command. However, if the default password has been
changed but the configured password is not known, it is not possible to establish
management communication using a supervisory terminal or Telnet host.
Therefore, first it is necessary to force the reloading of the factory-default
parameters by means of a supervisory terminal directly connected to the LA-110,
before management communication can be established.

Caution To avoid unrecoverable changes to the LA-110 software, carefully follow the
instructions given below.

E.2 Database Initialization Procedure

Preparations
To prepare for initializing the database:
1. Connect the serial RS-232 communication port of a supervision terminal (any
PC running a terminal emulation program, for example, the HyperTerminal
utility available with most Microsoft Inc. Windows™ releases) to the LA-110
CONTROL connector. It is recommended to use the CBL-RJ45/D9/F/STR
cable, offered by RAD, or equivalent (see cable wiring data in the CONTROL
Connector section in Appendix A).
2. Configure the communication parameters of the selected serial port for
asynchronous communication at 115.2 kbps, no parity, one start bit, eight data
bits and one stop bit.
3. If LA-110 is operating, disconnect the power.

Initialization Procedure
To initialize the LA-110 database:
1. Start the terminal emulation program in accordance with the configuration
parameters described above.

Appendix F
Operating Environment
This appendix describes the operating environment of the LA-110, to provide the
background information required for understanding the LA-110 configuration
parameters and its performance monitoring capabilities.
The information presented in this appendix covers the following issues:
• E1 environment – Section F.1.
• Digital subscriber line (DSL) transmission methods – Section F.2
• ATM environment – Section F.3.
• IP environment – Section F.4.
• Frame relay support over ATM – Section F.5.
• Ethernet support over ATM – Section F.6.
• Circuit emulation over ATM – Section F.7.
• SNMP environment – Section F.8.

F.1 E1 Environment

E1 Line Signal
The E1 line signal is coded using the High-Density Bipolar 3 (HDB3) coding rules.
The HDB3 coding format is an improvement of the alternate mark inversion (AMI)
code.
In the AMI format, “ones” are alternately transmitted as positive and negative
pulses, whereas “zeros” are transmitted as a zero voltage level. The AMI format
cannot transmit long strings of “zeros”, because such strings do not carry timing
information.
The HDB3 coding rules restrict the maximum length of a “zero” string to 3 pulse
intervals. Longer strings are encoded at the transmit end to introduce non-zero
pulses. To allow the receiving end to detect these artificially-introduced pulses and
to enable their removal to restore the original data string, the encoding introduces
intentional bipolar violations in the data sequence.
The receiving end detects these violations and when they appear to be part of an
encoded “zero” suppression string – it removes them.
Bipolar violations which are not part of the HDB3 zero-suppression string are
assumed to be caused by line errors, and are counted separately to obtain
information on the link transmission quality when the CRC-4 function is not used.

E1 Environment F-1

E1 Signal Structure
The E1 line operates at a nominal rate of 2.048 Mbps. The data transferred over
the E1 line is organized in frames. The E1 frame format is shown in Figure F-1.

(but not necessarily even) frames

Figure F-1. E1 Frame Format

Each E1 frame includes 256 bits. The 256 bits are arranged in 32 timeslots of eight
bits each that carry the data payload. The frame repetition rate is 8,000 per
second, and therefore the data rate supported by each timeslot is 64 kbps. The
number of timeslots available for user data is maximum 31, because timeslot 0 is
always reserved.

Timeslot 0
Timeslot 0 is used for two main purposes:
• Delineation of frame boundaries. For this purpose, in every second frame
timeslot 0 carries a fixed pattern, called frame alignment signal (FAS). Frames
carrying the FAS are defined as even frames, as they are assigned the numbers
0, 2, 4, etc. when larger structures (multiframes) are used.
The receiving equipment searches for this fixed pattern in the data stream
using a special algorithm, a process called frame synchronization. Once this
process is successfully completed, the equipment can identify each bit in the
received frames.
• Transmission of housekeeping information. In every frame without FAS (odd
frames), timeslot 0 carries housekeeping information. This information
includes:
Bit 1 - this bit is called the international (I) bit. Its main use is for error
detection using the optional CRC-4 function.
Bit 2 is always set to 1, a fact used by the frame alignment algorithm.

F-2 E1 Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

Bit 3 is used as a remote alarm indication (RAI), to notify the equipment at


the other end that the local equipment lost frame alignment, or does not
receive an input signal.
The other bits, identified as Sa4 through Sa8, are designated national bits,
and are actually available to the users, provided agreement is reached as to
their use.

Multiframes
To increase the information carrying capacity without wasting bandwidth, the
frames are organized in larger structures, called multiframes. Two types of
multiframes are generally used:
• 256N, which consists of 2 frames (one odd frame and one even frame). The
256N multiframe is generally used when timeslot 16 is to carry user’s payload.
In this mode, the maximum number of timeslots available for payload is 31
(maximum payload data rate of 1984 kbps). For systems which use the
common-channel signaling (CCS) method, the CCS information is often
transmitted in timeslot 16.
• 256S, which consists of 16 frames. The 256S multiframe is generally used
when timeslot 16 serves for the transmission of end-to-end signaling using
channel-associated signaling (CAS). CAS is typically used on links that transfer
voice channels. In this mode, the maximum number of timeslots available for
payload is 30 (maximum data rate of 1920 kbps).

Payload Encoding

Data Payload
Each payload timeslot in an E1 frame is transparent, that is, it does not modify the
user’s data in any way. Therefore, each timeslot can carry data at a rate of
64 kbps.
To carry data at higher rates, a service called fractional E1 can be used to distribute
the original data stream among several specified timeslots (such a group of
timeslots is called a bundle). At the other end of the link, the data is collected from
the specified timeslots and the original data stream is restored. This enables
transparent transfer of data at rates which are multiples of 64 kbps.

Analog Payload
Analog signals, for example, voice, are digitized, to convert them to data streams
that can be transferred over the link. The standardized approach is to digitize each
analog channel using pulse code modulation (PCM) at a sampling rate of 8 kHz,
with each sample represented by an 8-bit word. This yields a data rate of 64 kbps,
which means that each voice channel can be carried in one timeslot.
To achieve the best possible voice quality over the widest practical range of analog
signal amplitudes while using only 8 bits per sample, the signal is compressed at
the transmitting end and expanded at the receiving end, to restore its original
amplitude (this is called companding). The non-linear companding law
standardized in ITU-T Rec. G.713 for use in E1 frames is called A-law.

E1 Environment F-3
Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The voice quality obtained using 64 kbps PCM encoding is quite good; it can even
support data transmission using voiceband modems (including fax) at relatively
high data rates.
To decrease the required rate needed to transport an analog channel, another
encoding method, adaptive differentially-encoded PCM (ADPCM) has been
standardized in ITU-T Rec. G.726. ADPCM compresses the data rate needed to
carry one channel to only 32 kbps, thereby doubling the number of channels that
can be carried at a given payload rate at the expense of a small degradation in
quality.

E1 Line Statistics Using CRC-4 Error Detection


The CRC-4 function specified in ITU-T Rec. G.704 allows evaluating the quality of
transmission over E1 links.
When the CRC-4 option is enabled, frames are arbitrarily grouped in groups of 16
(these groups are called CRC-4 multiframes, and do not bear any relationship to
the 16-frame multiframe structures used with the 256S multiframe explained
above). A CRC-4 multiframe always starts with a frame that carries the frame
alignment signal. The CRC-4 multiframe structure is identified by a six-bit CRC-4
multiframe alignment signal, which is multiplexed into bit 1 of timeslot 0 of each
odd-numbered (1, 3, 5, etc.) frame of the CRC-4 multiframe, up to frame 11 of
the multiframe. Each CRC-4 multiframe is divided into two submultiframes of 8
frames (2048 bits) each. The detection of errors is achieved by calculating a
four-bit checksum on each 2048-bit block (submultiframe). The four checksum bits
calculated on a given submultiframe are multiplexed, bit by bit, in bit 1 of timeslot
0 of each even-numbered frame of the next submultiframe.
At the receiving end, the checksum is calculated again on each submultiframe and
then compared against the original checksum (sent by the transmitting end in the
next submultiframe). The results are reported by two bits multiplexed in bit 1 of
timeslot 0 in frames 13, 15 of the CRC-4 multiframe, respectively. Errors are
counted and used to prepare statistic data on transmission performance.

E1 Line Alarm Conditions


• Excessive bit error rate. The bit error rate is measured on the frame alignment
signal. The alarm threshold is an error rate higher than 10-3 that persists for 4
to 5 seconds. The alarm condition is canceled when the error rate decreases
below 10-4 for 4 to 5 consecutive seconds.
• Loss of frame alignment (also called loss of synchronization). This condition is
declared when too many errors are detected in the frame alignment signal
(FAS), e.g., when 3 or 4 FAS errors are detected in the last 5 frames. Loss of
frame alignment is cleared after no FAS errors are detected in two consecutive
frames. The loss of frame alignment is reported by means of the A bit
(see Figure F-1).
Note For ATM equipment, the A bit is also used to indicate loss of ATM cell delineation.

F-4 E1 Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

• Loss of multiframe alignment (applicable only when 256S multiframes are


used). This condition is declared when too many errors are detected in the
multiframe alignment signal (MAS), as for loss of frame alignment. The loss of
multiframe alignment is reported by means of the Y bit (see figure C-1).
• Alarm indication signal (AIS). The AIS signal is an unframed “all-ones” signal,
and is used to maintain line signal synchronization in case of loss of input
signal, e.g., because an alarm condition occurred in the equipment that
supplies the line signal. Note that the equipment receiving an AIS signal loses
frame synchronization.

F.2 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods

Overview
Many DSL technologies have been developed in the recent years. Their purpose it
to enable using the wide installed base of copper (twisted pair) cables laid by the
telephone companies to provide the ubiquitous phone service (plain old telephone
service – POTS) for high-speed digital transmission.
The main DSL methods supported by LA-110 include:
• Single-pair high-speed digital subscriber line (SHDSL) technology, supports
symmetrical transmission rates of up to 2.312 Mbps. SHDSL has been
standardized in ITU-T Rec. G.991.2.
• Asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL), supports up to 8 Mbps in the
downlink direction and up to 1 Mbps in the uplink direction. The line code
used by ADSL interfaces is the Discrete Multitone (DMT) code. ADSL has been
standardized in ITU-T Rec. G.992.1.
The various DSL interfaces are used to provide the uplink to the ATM network,
and cover ranges up to a few km over typical unloaded twisted pairs.

SHDSL Transmission Methods


SHDSL Transmission System Versions
SHDSL standards describe two types of transmission systems:
• 2-wire (2W) SHDSL system – uses a single unloaded twisted pair.
• 4-wire (4W) SHDSL system – uses two unloaded twisted pairs, and distributes
the payload among the two pairs using the same modulation methods as the
2W system. The 4W system has longer range, because it operates at lower line
rates.
This section presents only the 2W system, however the information is also
applicable to 4W systems.
SHDSL Transmission Subsystem Structure
The basic SHDSL transmission subsystem includes two units interconnected by a
single pair of wires, usually a regular unloaded twisted pair. The pair is used for
duplex transmission.

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods F-5


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Two different types of SHDSL units are defined by ITU-T Rec. G.991.2:
• SHDSL central unit (STU-C), usually located at the network side, at the central
office (CO), which controls the operation of the whole subsystem, supervises
the link setup process and provides the timing reference.
• SHDSL remote unit (STU-R), which terminates the line at the user’s side, on
the customer’s premises (CPE).

SHDSL Modulation Method


SHDSL uses multi-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) together with trellis
coding. Using advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques enables
symmetric data transmission at rates in the range of 192 to 2304 kbps
(corresponding to lines rates of 200 to 2312 kbps).
The modulation method is spectrally compatible with other transmission
technologies deployed in the access network, including other DSL technologies.
The LA-110 SHDSL subsystem can be configured to ensure compatibility with
regional standards, as specified in Annex A (North America) and Annex B (Europe)
of ITU-T Rec. G.991.2 (this includes both operational differences and performance
requirements).

SHDSL Signal Structure


The SHDSL line signal is organized in frames. The line signal structure enables the
transmission of both payload and overhead data. The main types of overhead data
are:
• Synchronization word, for frame alignment.
• Error detection and correction data also used for performance monitoring
data.
• Embedded operations channel (eoc) - enables supervision and management of
the whole SHDSL transmission subsystem (STU-C and STU-R), and initiation of
diagnostic loopbacks and tests.
The transmit SHDSL data stream is generated by a framer, which also
demultiplexes the received data stream. The framer used in the LA-110 can be
configured to generate two types of data streams: n×64 kbps data stream or serial
ATM data stream:
• When operating two LA-110 units in a link, either framing method can be
used
• When operating an LA-110 unit in a link with other equipment, select the
framing mode matching the mode used by the other unit.

SHDSL Line Transmission Process


The SHDSL line transmission process includes two stages: start-up and data
transmission.
To enable link establishment under various conditions, the SHDSL subsystem
operates in a master-slave mode, where the STU-C unit serves as the master, and
the STU-R unit is the slave.

F-6 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

The STU-C unit performs the following functions:


• Controls the link start-up procedure.
• Provides the timing reference for SHDSL transmission.
• Manages the communication on the eoc channel.
The start-up process is automatically initiated by the STU-C upon power-up, and
uses advanced digital signal processing techniques together with a special link
activation process. It includes the following sequence of operations:
• Data rate negotiation, which attempts to set up the link at the highest rate
possible (the maximum allowed rate is selected by the user, as part of the link
configuration parameters). This process has three main steps:
Analysis of line transmission characteristics (line probing) whenever a link
must be setup between two SHDSL modems.
Exchange of transmission parameters (handshaking) between the two
modems.
Transmission of special signals that enable training of echo cancellers and
equalizers, and the synchronization of SHDSL receivers to transmitters in
both directions of transmission.
• Automatic detection and compensation of tip/ring polarity reversal on the line.
After start-up, the SHDSL links support transmission of payload, as well as an eoc.
Data transmission is automatically started after start-up is successfully completed.
The total overhead carried by an SHDSL signal is always 8 kbps. For example:
• When the payload data rate is 192 kbps (3 × 64 kbps), the line rate is
200 kbps
• When the payload data rate is 2304 kbps (36 × 64 kbps), the line rate is
2312 kbps.

SHDSL Transmission Parameters


The user must specify the following set of SHDSL transmission parameters:
• Maximum link rate: this is the rate at which the SHDSL modems will attempt
to set up the link. A lower rate increases the maximum range, therefore when
the link cannot be set up at the requested rate, the SHDSL modems
automatically negotiate to select the highest possible rate.
• Transmission mode. ITU-T Rec. G.991.2 specifies three sets of regional signal
characteristics for SHDSL modems, however only two of the sets are currently
offered for the LA-110:
The set of characteristics specified in Annex A is required for compatibility
in North American networks
The set of characteristics specified in Annex B is required for compatibility
in European networks.
• Power backoff. When the estimated power loss on the link between the two
SHDSL modems is low, it may be desirable to use less than the maximum
allowed signal power. You can enable this option, called power backoff, to
reduce the interference caused by your signal to other equipment using pairs
in the same cable without degrading the link transmission quality.

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods F-7


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

ADSL Transmission Methods

ADSL Modulation Method


The characteristics of the ADSL signals are defined in the ITU-T Rec. G.992.1
standard. The ADSL line code is the Discrete Multitone (DMT) code.
The DMT line code is designed to provide a good match for the twisted-wire pair
channel. One of the main characteristics of the twisted-wire pair channel is the
extreme variation in its transmission function versus frequency within the range of
interest. For example, for operation over POTS infrastructure, the range is from
25 kHz, which is the lowest frequency that can be used without significant
interference from the phone signals carried by the line, up to approx. 1.1 MHz.
To overcome this variation, discrete Fourier transform (DFT) techniques are used
to decompose the modulated signal into many mutually orthogonal signals, located
at a spacing of 4.3125 kHz (in accordance with the ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 standard,
the downstream signal is decomposed into 256 discrete subcarriers, and the
upstream signal – into 32 subcarriers).
Each subcarrier carries a certain fraction of the payload. The subcarrier modulation
method is a special form of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Due to the
relatively high bandwidth efficiency of QAM, each subcarrier essentially uses its
own frequency band. Since this band is relatively narrow, it is possible to process
each subcarrier independently of the other subcarriers, so as to compensate in a
nearly optimal way for attenuation, group delay, and intersymbol interference (ISI).
Figure F-2 shows a typical allocation of DMT subcarriers, which is suitable for ADSL
transmission systems operating over a POTS infrastructure. The recommended
operating parameters over POTS infrastructure are defined in Annex A of the
ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 standard.
As seen in Figure F-2, the frequency ranges of the downstream and upstream
channels overlap partially. This capability is obtained by using echo cancellers.
Another approach for duplex transmission over one pair is frequency division
multiplexing (FDM). The FDM method is used when it is necessary to separate
(i.e., prevent the overlapping of) the frequency ranges used to transmit and
receive. For example, the frequency range required for ISDN signal transmission is
up to 95 kHz.
To support this frequency range, it is necessary to configure the ADSL transmission
subsystem for operation in the FDM mode. Figure F-3 shows a typical range of
subcarriers for each direction for operation over ISDN infrastructure. The reduced
number of subcarriers decreases the maximum range by approximately 10%,
relative to the range over POTS infrastructure. The recommended operating
parameters using FDM over ISDN infrastructure are defined in Annex B of the
ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 standard.

ADSL Payload Channels


The ADSL signal is formatted in frames and superframes, which include various
types of overhead and payload transport channels. The frame structures depend
on the type of payload, and therefore this section covers the characteristics
relevant to the transport of ATM signals.
The ADSL transmission subsystem supports the transmission of the following main
types of payload channels:
• Downstream channel, designated AS0: simplex high-speed channel, used to
transmit data from the ATU-C to the ATU-R. ADSL systems support all the
downstream data rates specified in the ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 standard, as well as
other data rates which are multiples of 32 kbps. The maximum downstream
data rate for ATM signals is 6.144 Mbps.
• Upstream channel, designated LS0: simplex high-speed channel, used to
transmit data from the ATU-R to the ATU-C. ADSL systems support all the
downstream data rates specified in the ITU-T Rec. G.992.1 standard, as well as
other data rates which are multiples of 32 kbps. The maximum upstream data
rate for ATM signals is 640 kbps.
The data rates of the payload channels are usually not synchronized to the ADSL
line data rate. This is achieved by inserting padding bits and idle ATM cells in the
data stream, but in this case it is necessary to use a synchronization mechanism
that restores the original data rate at the other end of the link.
An alternative approach is to lock the payload channels rates to the ADSL line rate:
in this case, the channel rates are determined by the line rate, minus a fixed rate of
overhead data.

ADSL Subsystem Overhead


The ADSL subsystem overhead includes the following main types of data, used for
synchronization and ADSL link management:
• Synchronization word
• ADSL overhead channel (aoc), which enables the ATU-C and ATU-R units to
exchange status data.
For example, during the ADSL link start-up process the aoc is used to send the
system configuration parameters, evaluate the transmission capabilities of the
interconnecting line, select the optimum data rate (necessary when using the
rate-adaptive mode), and perform the handshaking required to start service.
Other aoc functions include:
Transmission of performance statistics from the ATU-R to the ATU-C.
Activation of test loopbacks, and bit error rate (BER) measurement.
Checking of ATU-R software version, and automatic updating by
downloading the ATU-C software to the ATU-R when versions differ.
Handshaking with the remote unit.
• Embedded operations channel, eoc, used for communication between the
ATU-C and ATU-R. The eoc is used for in-service and out-of-service
maintenance, and for the retrieval of ATU-R status information and ADSL
performance monitoring parameters.

F-10 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

The communication through the eoc is always initiated by the ATU-C. The
ATU-C serves as the master of the eoc link, and sends commands to the
ATU-R. The ATU-R serves as slave on the eoc link, and it only responds to the
commands. The only exception is for the "dying gasp" message: this message is
sent by the ATU-R when an imminent power failure is detected and is inserted
in the upstream link as soon as appropriate bytes are available, irrespective of
the commands sent by the ATU-C.
• CRC check bytes for error detection.
• Fixed indicator bits for OAM.
• FEC redundancy bytes for error correction.

ADSL Framing Modes


The channels and overhead described above are inserted in frame structures
defined by ITU-T Rec. G.992.1. Two types of framing are used on the ADSL link:
full overhead and reduced overhead. Furthermore, two versions of full overhead
and two versions of reduced overhead are defined.
The four resulting framing modes, referred to as framing modes 0, 1, 2 and 3, are
defined in Table F-1.
An ATU-C configured for ATM transport must support the framing structures 0 and
1; support of reduced overhead framing structures 2 and 3 is optional.

Table F-1. ADSL Framing Modes

Framing Structure Description

0 Full overhead framing with asynchronous bit-to-modem timing. This requires the
synchronization control mechanism to be enabled.

1 Full overhead framing with synchronous bit-to-modem timing. In this case, the
synchronization control mechanism is disabled.

2 Reduced overhead framing with separate fast and sync byte in the fast and
interleaved latency buffer respectively (requires 64 kbp framing overhead)

3 Reduced overhead framing with merged fast and sync byte, using either the fast or
the interleaved latency buffer (requires only 32 kbps framing overhead)

The ATU-C indicates during link initialization the highest framing structure number
it supports. If the ATU-R indicates a lower framing structure number during
initialization, the ATU-C selects the framing structure number indicated by the
ATU-R.

ADSL Coding Methods


To ensure reliable transmission, ADSL transmission include several functions:
• Modulation/demodulation, using DFT.
• Evaluation of the transmission function of the channel

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods F-11


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• Distribution of payload among the various subcarriers. This algorithm analyzes


the signal-to-noise (SNR) for each subcarrier, and assigns the optimal amount
of payload information to be carried by each subcarrier. As a result, each
subcarrier carries 2 to 15 bits per symbol, resulting in a payload of up to
60 kbps per subcarrier. Since the error events for each subcarrier are
essentially independent, this method achieves a coding gain near the
maximum theoretical gain.
• Error detection and correction algorithm. The algorithm applies forward error
correction coding to overcome random errors and impulse noise error events,
that are common to the residential twisted-wire pairs. The coding methods
include concatenated trellis and Reed-Solomon block coding, and interleaving:
The ADSL systems use a variable rate Reed-Solomon code. The code
provides a redundancy in the range of 2 to 24 bytes at block lengths of up
to 255 symbols (bytes). The amount of redundancy can be configured by
means of the configuration files. This gives the operator the flexibility to
adjust the error protection to the typical requirements of the installation, to
provide the customers extra protection where loop conditions call for.
The trellis code, specified in the ANSI DS1.413-1995 standard, is used as
the inner code in the concatenated coding scheme of ADSL systems, with
the Reed-Solomon code serving as the outer code. The trellis code operates
on the data spread on the various subcarriers, and thus does not add extra
latency. The trellis code improves the noise margin measured for stationary
added noise (such as white noise and typical NEXT and FEXT noise) without
requiring additional bandwidth.
Protection against impulse noise is obtained by using interleaving.
Interleaving can be independently enabled/disabled by the user for each
channel and transmission direction. The interleaving parameters require a
trade-off between protection and latency.
Adaptation to a Changing Environment
Due to the advanced coding techniques described above, ADSL systems can
transport the required payload in very noisy environments.
To evaluate its operating environment, the system measures the noise environment
during start-up and selects accordingly optimized operational parameters.
Moreover, the system uses a special adaptation algorithm to select automatically
the highest rate that can be supported by the line; for this purpose, the user can
specify a minimum acceptable data rate and the adaptation algorithm uses this
value in case the line quality is not sufficient to support the nominal data rate of
the intended application.
To ensure continued protection during normal operation, the system continues to
monitor on-line the noise environment, and to adapt itself to slow changes in the
environment. This function, called bit swapping, is automatically performed by
exchanging messages through the aoc channel. For example, the addition or
deletion of a narrow band noise will immediately be detected and the ADSL
systems will use the handshaking protocols defined in the standard to make the
arrangements required to optimally protect the data at all times. These changes are
performed without disrupting the service and without any resynchronization and
training procedures.

F-12 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Transmission Methods


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

When operating in the rate-adaptive mode, the rate adaptation algorithm will not
only perform bit swapping, but at start-up will also select automatically the highest
data rate that can be supported while maintaining a user-specified noise margin.
Network Timing Reference (NTR)
Some services, for example, Voice and Telephony over ATM (VToA), require that a
reference clock be available for the higher layers of the protocol stack, that is,
above the physical layer. This reference click is used to guarantee end-to-end
synchronization of transmit and receive sides.
To support the distribution of a timing reference over the network, the ADSL
system may transport to the ATU-R an 8 kHz timing marker, designated NTR,
which supplied to the ATU-C.
The enables the ATU-C to provide timing information, which then becomes
available to the equipment connected to the ATU-R. This reference timing has an
accuracy corresponding to the accuracy of the clock provided to the ATU-C. The
maximum frequency variation of the NTR is ±32 ppm.

F.3 ATM Environment

Characteristics of ATM Service


ATM is a public high-performance cell-switched service. Its main characteristic is
the use of very short packets, called “cells”, and intelligent switching nodes ("ATM
switches"). The handling and routing of these cells, based on information carried in
each cell header, is very simple and efficient, therefore high-speed transmission
can be achieved.
Moreover, the use of short cells minimizes delay variation problems inherent in
other packet transmission technologies, e.g., Frame Relay, etc., and simplifies cell
handling.
ATM networks provide customers with individual access over various facilities, i.e.,
each individual subscriber has a dedicated physical access path, however the
switching and transmission facilities are shared by the subscribers, in a way similar
to the sharing of LAN and WAN resources.
ATM Network Structure
ATM service is usually provided by ASPs (ATM Service Providers) as well as data
carrier service providers, and in general consists of several ATM switches
interconnected by high-speed point-to-point transmission links.
Each transmission link interconnects two ATM switches. Time-division multiplexing
on each transmission link is obtained by distributing the traffic generated by the
subscribers over virtual paths (VPs). In accordance with the UNI specification, each
link can have up to 256 VPs. Each VP is further subdivided into virtual channels
(VCs). Each VP can support up to 65536 VCs.
The subscriber is connected by means of an access link to one of the network
switches, and defines its communication requirements, e.g., average data rate,
quality of service, etc., at subscription time. The connection point between the
ATM network and the subscriber’s equipment is designated the User-Network
Interface (UNI).

ATM Environment F-13


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

ATM Cell Structure


Figure F-4 shows the structure of the ATM cell. Each cell has a 5-byte header that
carries the control data, and a 48-byte information field, for a total of 53 bytes.
The header includes the following information fields:
• General flow control (GFC). The four GFC bits are always set to 0 when
transmitted through the UNI, but can be used for local flow control purposes.
• Virtual path identifier (VPI). The VPI includes eight bits. When not all the bits
are in use, the VPI is inserted in the least significant bit positions.
• Virtual circuit identifier (VCI). The VCI includes sixteen bits. When not all the
bits are in use, the VCI is inserted in the least significant bit positions.
Note An ATM circuit is defined by a unique VPI.VCI pair (VCIs can be reused on a
different VPs).
• Payload type (PT). The payload type, encoded by means of three bits, is used
to discriminate between cells carrying user’s payload, and the various types of
cells used for ATM operations and maintenance (OAM). The OAM cells can be
used for transfer of ATM signaling information, in-service testing (e.g.,
loopbacks) and performance monitoring, as well as to fill in idle intervals
between cells carrying user’s payload.
• Cell loss priority (CLP) indicator. This bit is used to indicate the priority set by
the user for this cell: 0 for high cell priority, and 1 for low priority.
• Header error control (HEC). This field is designed for correction of single-bit,
and detection of multiple-bit address errors.

ATM Network Operation


Basically, ATM is a connection-oriented technology. ATM cells are transported
over the network by setting up virtual channel connections (VCCs) between the
UNIs of two subscribers wishing to communicate.
Note that the VCI in the ATM cell header is assigned per link, and therefore it may
change across the network within the same VCC. Similarly, a VP groups VCs
carried between two ATM entities, and therefore the VPI may also change along a
given VCC.
Each ATM switch handles the VCs associated with a given VP as a block: such VCs
are globally switched, without unbundling or processing the individual VCs in any
way, and without changing their VCI numbers. This method ensures that the cell
sequence of each VC is always preserved.
ATM network capacity design is based on traffic statistics, because the traffic
handled by the ATM switches and the interconnecting links consists of large
numbers of cells, generated by many independent sources. Statistically, the traffic
generated by any specific set of users (e.g., users in a branch office) has a relatively
constant rate, but its instantaneous rate varies rapidly.
FIFO buffers are used to temporarily store traffic peaks, and release data at a
controlled rate. Therefore, the delay incurred by a cell in its passage through the
network changes, because it depends on several factors:
• Link transmission delays. These delays decrease when the link data rates
increase.
• Processing delays within the network and users equipment. These delays are
relatively constant.
• Time spent by cells waiting in buffers. These delays vary with the traffic load.
Due to the bursty nature of the traffic, at times the instantaneous traffic offered by
the network users may exceed the available ATM network resources (these
resources include link bandwidth, buffer capacities, and the processing power of
elements used to route the traffic).
Congestion occurs when the instantaneous traffic offered by the users exceeds the
available network resources. When congestion occurs, some of the cells are lost
(either because they are intentionally discarded within the ATM network, or
because they are not accepted by the network).
Users must therefore agree with the network operators, at subscription time, on
the amount of traffic that the network must transfer reliably. In principle, this traffic
contract specifies the maximum traffic load that the network will accept from that
particular user; as long as the user does not generate traffic in excess of the
agreed-upon amount, the ATM network guarantees proper transfer.
Since the traffic generated by each user affects the service to other users, any ATM
network, and each element connected to an ATM network (including the LA-110)
must be able to perform traffic policing, to ensure that the traffic accepted from
each user does not exceed the amount specified in its traffic contract (any excess
traffic will be discarded).
Thus, the ATM network can be designed to offer to users a committed information
rate, and may be able to support, when resources are available, higher peak rates.

ATM Environment F-15


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Priorities in Traffic Handling


To enable a user to optimally utilize the ATM transmission capabilities subscribed
for, it is necessary to allow each user to specify the relative importance (priority) of
the traffic generated by its applications.
Two different types of priority can be implemented:
• Priority with respect to intentional discarding of cells in case of congestion.
This priority is indicated by means of the CLP bit appearing in each cell
header: lower-priority cells (cells with CLP = 1) are discarded preferentially in
case of network congestion.
Note The CLP bit in the cell header indicates the loss priority, therefore traffic which is
more important to the user must be assigned low cell loss priority (CLP = 0).
Note that if after discarding all the low priority cells, the offered traffic still
exceeds the available network resources, the network will also discard priority
cells (cells with CLP = 0), starting with the priority cells arriving from users that
exceed their subscribed traffic rates.
• Priority with respect to the emission of cells toward the network. This priority is
an internal priority mechanism whose purpose is to prevent the delaying of
traffic with higher priority (as determined by user’s preferences), when the
equipment is already engaged in the transmission of lower-priority traffic. This
is particularly important in equipment with multiple ports, e.g., LA-110.

ATM Network Service Categories


As explained above, ATM network performance depends on traffic load versus
network resources, therefore it is not constant. Users nevertheless need a
predictable quality of service (QoS).
The required QoS depends on the application using the ATM connection, and
therefore it must be clearly defined (this is done at subscription time, by means of
the traffic contract, which is the collection of traffic parameters agreed upon
between the user and the ATM network operator). For example:
• An ATM connection used for video or voice transmission generates traffic at a
constant rate, and requires that the transmission delay through the network be
also relatively constant (to a certain degree, buffers can be used to smooth out
variations). On the other hand, the occasional loss of a few cells could be
tolerable, because of the subjective interpretation of video and audio
information.
• An ATM connection used for file transmission, LAN interconnection, or data
communications, is not very sensitive to delay: such connections can tolerate
any delay up to the delay that causes time-out of higher-level protocols, but is
very sensitive to the loss of cells (any cell lost, or received with errors, requires
retransmission of the whole message).

F-16 ATM Environment


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

For standardization, the ATM Forum standards specify several types of service
categories:
CBR Constant bit rate service, intended for real-time applications that
require a constant bandwidth, and tightly constrained delay and
delay variation. The required bandwidth must be available as
long as the connection is active.
A typical application for CBR service is circuit emulation.
VBR Variable bit rate service, intended for applications that require
constraints on the maximum delay and delay variation, e.g.,
video, voice, etc. Two types of VBR service are defined:
• RT-VBR – real-time VBR, which requires tight control on
delay and delay variation.
• NRT-VBR – non-real-time VBR, with more relaxed
requirements).
UBR Unspecified bit rate service, intended for non-real-time
applications which do not require tightly constrained delay and
delay variation, e.g., data communications applications such as
file transfer, e-mail, etc.
UBR+ Same as UBR, except that it enables the user to specify a
minimum desired cell rate.
ABR Available bit rate service. This service is similar to UBR, except
that it is capable of adaptation to changes in ATM transfer
capabilities without inducing excessive cell loss.

ATM Network Transmission Parameters


To enable consistent definition of transmission requirements, a standard set of
traffic parameters has been defined in the ATM Forum traffic handling
specifications. The traffic parameters include:
Peak Cell Rate Maximum rate of cells accepted from the user.
(PCR) Generally, cells received at rates exceeding the PCR are
discarded.
PCR values generally specify the maximum rate for all
the cells (CLP=0+1), however sometimes separate PCR
values may be specified for cells with CLP=0 (high
priority) and CLP=0+1 (all cells).
Maximum Cell Maximum time allowed for the transfer of a cell to its
Transfer Delay destination. Cells spending a longer time in transit are
(maxCTD) considered useless to the user’s application.
Peak-to-Peak Cell The maximum tolerable variation in the cell transit time
Delay Variation through the network.
(CDV)
Sustainable Cell The long-term average cell rate provided by the user.
Rate (SCR)

ATM Environment F-17


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Maximum Burst The maximum number of cells allowed in a single burst.


Size (MBS) Longer bursts may be discarded.
Cell Loss Ratio The maximum ratio of cells that may get lost in the
(CLR) network when the offered user’s traffic conforms to the
traffic contract.
Minimum Desired The minimum desired rate of cells for the UBR+ mode.
Cell RAte (MDCR)
A traffic contract includes the parameters listed above (or at least the mandatory
parameters, e.g., PCR). The UNI function is to enforce the traffic contract on the
traffic arriving from the user, to ensure that it does not exceed the agreed-upon
limits (any non-conforming traffic is selectively discarded in accordance with the
principles listed above, to ensure that users exceeding their limits do not degrade
the service to conforming users).

ATM Protocol Stack


The ATM transmission method uses very short cells, whereas most applications use
much longer service data units (SDUs): for example, Ethernet frames have lengths
up to approximately 1500 bytes, Frame Relay frames can be more than 9000 bytes
long, etc.
Therefore, it is necessary to define a set of procedures (stack of protocols) that will
enable inserting and removing application data from ATM cells, and convert the
address information to enable routing to the desired destination.
Figure F-5 shows the general structure of the ATM protocol stack.

The general structure of the ATM protocol stack is as follows:


• The top layer is the service-specific convergence sublayer (SSCS), which
converts the service data units received from the users application to the CPCS
format. The SSCS depends on the users application type.

F-18 ATM Environment


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

• The insertion of payload data into the 48-byte information field of an ATM cell
is accomplished by the third layer, the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL). The
function of the AAL is to map the protocol data units (PDUs) of higher layers
into the ATM layer. AAL functions are specified in ITU-T Rec. I.363.
Using an AAL gives ATM the flexibility to carry entirely different types of
service within the same transmission format, because the AAL is not an ATM
network process, but instead is performed by the network terminating
equipment, e.g., the LA-110.
Thus, after data is processed by an AAL type that can appropriately handle the
users application characteristics, the only task an ATM network must perform is
to route cells from point to point, in accordance with the information in the
cell headers.
The AAL layer consists of two sublayers:
The top sublayer is the Common Part Convergence Sublayer (CPCS), which
provides the service access point (SAP) to the ATM service.
The second sublayer is the segmentation and reassembly (SAR) sublayer,
which splits the CPCS PDUs into 48-byte units, that are then passed to the
ATM layer for insertion in ATM cells.
• The next layer, located atop the UNI physical layer, is the ATM layer.
• The lowest layer in the ATM protocol stack is the UNI physical layer. For the
LA-110, this is the layer responsible for the transfer of ATM cells by the uplink
port. For example, for an uplink port with E1 interface, the functions of the
physical layer are:
Generation of the E1 frame and multiframe structure, and the
corresponding F-bit patterns.
Insertion of ATM cells in the E1 frame timeslots. Only 30 timeslots are used
(timeslots 0 and 16 are not used for ATM cell transmission). ATM cells are
byte-aligned to the timeslot boundaries (each payload byte of an ATM cell
is inserted in one timeslot).
Transmission and reception of E1 signal.

AAL Types Supported by LA-110


Several AAL types have been standardized, to provide optimal support for various
types of payload data.
The LA-110 supports the following AAL types:
• AAL1, which is intended for constant bit rate (CBR) applications. In CBR
applications, e.g., circuit emulation service (CES) for E1 signal transport, etc., it
is necessary to emulate the transmission characteristics of regular data
transmission circuits, and in particular fixed delay and preservation of timing
accuracy.
For example, the data transferred through an E1 user port is handled by AAL1.
Analog voice, which is supported by I/O modules with FXS ports, can also be
transmitted over AAL1.

ATM Environment F-19


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• AAL2, which is intended for variable bit rate (VBR) applications that require
maintaining the timing relationship between the source and the destination,
but the bit rate may vary. For example, digitized voice can be supported by
AAL2, using the Loop Emulation Service (LES). In particular, AAL2 must be
used to support Emulated Loop Control Protocol (ELCP).
• AAL5, which is intended for connectionless and connection-oriented variable
bit rate (VBR) services. AAL5 is primarily designed to meet the communication
requirements of LANs and other similar applications. The data transferred
through the synchronous data port of the LA-110 is handled by AAL5.

Operations and Maintenance


The ATM standards specify the methods to be used for operations and
maintenance (OAM) in ATM networks. The OAM functions to be made available
in ATM networks include:
• Performance monitoring – enables monitoring the normal operation of
equipment and links, and detection of defects and failures.
• Detection of defects and failures – made by identification of abnormal
performance.
• System protection – enables correction of defect and failure effects by
selection of alternate facilities.
• Collection of failure and performance information – enables management
stations to obtain information on system state.
• Support for fault localization – enables use of internal or external test functions
to detect faults whose location is not obvious from the failure and performance
information normally generated by the system.

OAM Flows
The applicable standards, e.g., ITU-T Rec. I.610, define five OAM flows. An OAM
flow is a bidirectional exchange of OAM information (generally performed by
means of a special type of cells, called OAM cells) between peer entities. The five
OAM flows are designated F1 through F5, where the flows F1, F2, and F3 cover
the physical layer, and the flows F4 and F5 cover the ATM layer.
The physical layer OAM flows, used to detect physical layer failures and enable the
management system to monitor transmission performance, are as follows:
F1 Lowest-level OAM flow, covers a portion (called regenerator section) of
an ATM system located between two entities directly connected by a
physical link.
F2 Covers a digital section of an ATM system. A digital section is located
between two end points, interconnected by one or more physical links.
F3 Covers a transmission path in an ATM system. The transmission path is
delineated by end points that can assemble/disassemble cells, and
process the information carried in the cells, e.g., can detect cell
boundaries, analyze headers, and perform OAM functions. A
transmission path consists of one or more digital sections.

F-20 ATM Environment


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

The ATM layer OAM flows, used to monitor the operation and performance of the
ATM layer, are as follows:
F4 VP-level OAM flow, covers a VP connection. A VP connection is
terminated at end points that can terminate virtual path connections.
The virtual path connection consists of one or more transmission paths.
F5 Highest-level OAM flow, at the VC connection level. A VC connection
is terminated at end points that can terminate virtual channel
connections. The virtual channel consists of one or more virtual path
connections.
The F5 flow is used for end-to-end fault management, for
maintenance, and for performance management over a virtual channel
connection.
The LA-110 supports the F1, F2, F3, and F5 OAM flows in accordance with ITU-T
Rec. I.610.

Main Types of OAM Cells


The OAM cells are special cells that are transmitted in idle intervals, during which
no payload waits to be transmitted (usually, forced insertion is used if no idle
interval is available within a group of 65535 cells). The cell type and function is
identified by one byte, sent immediately after the 5-byte ATM cell header; the
remaining bytes may carry additional information to support the cell function.
Fault management uses the following types of OAM cells:
CC Cells CC (continuity check) cells are periodically transmitted
downstream (nominally once per second) by a VC end point
when no user cells are received for three consecutive seconds,
and stops after one valid user cell is received.
AIS Cells AIS (alarm indication signal) cells are periodically transmitted
downstream (nominally once per second) by a VC end point
which detects a VC failure (unavailability). The transmission of
AIS cells at the VC level starts when neither user cells, nor
continuity check cells are received for three consecutive seconds,
and stops after one valid user or continuity check cell is received.
The AIS cell may include information on the type and location of
the failure.
FERF Cells FERF (far-end report failure) cells are periodically transmitted
upstream (nominally once per second) by a VC end point which
started transmitting AIS cells, or detected a VC failure
(unavailability).
The FERF cell may include information on the type and location
of the failure.

Frame Relay OAM functions (link integrity verification, and the AIS and RDI (remote

• Document FRF.5 for ports configured for the network interworking mode.
• Document FRF.8 for ports configured for the service interworking mode.
The payload field of performance monitoring cells carry data which enables error
detection. The main fields are as follows:
• PM cell sequence number (0 to 256), followed by the total number of user
cells sent since the last performance monitoring cell has been transmitted (0 to
65535 cells).
• Block error detection code, carries a checksum that enables detection of errors
in the payload fields of the users cells preceding the performance monitoring
cell.
Maintenance cells carry commands:
• PM activate/deactivate command: starts/stops the transmission and evaluation
of performance monitoring cells.
• Continuity check activate/deactivate command. The command instructs the
receiving equipment whether to transmit and/or receive (evaluate) CC cells.
• Loopback activate/deactivate command (this function can also be controlled
by commands from the LA-110 supervision terminal, Telnet host, or
management station). The loopback controlled by this command is performed
at the ATM layer on OAM cells, and is used to instruct its destination (one or
both of the VCC end points, or any other equipment that can evaluate OAM
cells) to return OAM cells toward the command source (the equipment that
sent the loopback command).
The LA-110 executes loopback activate/deactivate command, but cannot
initiate these commands.
The LA-110 supports the OAM cells, and can provide ATM layer performance
monitoring data.

F.4 IP Environment
This section describes the IP environment.
The information presented in this section refers to Version 4 of the IP protocol
(IP4), currently the most widely used protocol version. IP4 is the only protocol
version supported by LA-110 units and RADview stations.

Introduction to IP
IP means “Internet Protocol”. The term IP protocol is often used to indicate a
standardized set of rules and procedures that enable data exchange through a
packet-switched network.
Accordingly, the term Internet indicates the set of networks that use the IP
protocol and are interconnected in a way that, at least in principle, permits any
entity on one network to communicate with any entity on another network.
Note The term “suite of IP protocols” is also often used, in recognition of the fact that the
operation of the Internet is actually defined by many related protocols.

IP Networks, IP Hosts and IP Ports


Any entity that can communicate using the IP protocol is called an IP host.
The connection point between an IP host and an IP network is called IP port.
An IP network forms when a number of IP ports can communicate directly (peer
to peer) using the IP protocol, without any intermediaries.
An IP host can have any number of IP ports. Moreover, the ports may be located
on different IP networks.

IP Addresses
To enable IP communication between two IP hosts, it is necessary to find a route
between their IP ports. For this purpose, each IP port is assigned an IP address.
An IP address is a number selected in accordance with the IP protocol. The only
purpose of an IP address is to permit unambiguous identification of an IP port.
Therefore, each IP port must be assigned a distinct and unique IP address.
The IP protocol does not require the IP port to be related in an unambiguous way
to a physical (communication) port. This has two main implications:
• Since the IP port is actually a connection to an IP network, any number of IP
ports can share a given physical port.
• An IP port may be reached through several physical ports.
Note By convention, the scope of IP addresses has been extended in two ways:
• To permit identification of IP networks
• To permit simultaneous addressing of all the ports connected to a IP network
(this operation is called broadcasting).

IP Packet Structure
The information exchanged through IP networks is organized in packets. The
structure of an IP packet, as specified by IP protocol Version 4, is as follows (the
numbers are byte numbers):
0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 31

IP Address Structure
An IP address is a 32-bit number, represented as four 8-bit bytes. Each byte
represents a decimal number in the range of 0 through 255.
The address is written in decimal format, with the bytes separated by decimal
points, e.g., 164.90.70.47. This format is called dotted quad notation.
An IP address is logically divided into two main portions:
• Network portion
• Host portion.

Network Portion
In general, the network portion is assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA), and its main purpose is to identify a specific IP network. For
exceptions, see the Global vs. Private IP Addresses section below.
There are five IP address classes: A, B, C, D, and E. However, only the A, B and C
classes are used for IP addressing. Consult your network manager with respect to
the class of IP addresses used on your network.
The network portion of an IP address can be one, two, or three bytes long, in
accordance with the IP address class. This arrangement is illustrated below:

F-24 IP Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

IP Address
Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4

Class A Network Portion Host Portion

Class B Network Portion Host Portion

Class C Network Portion Host Portion

The class of each IP address can be determined from its leftmost byte, in
accordance with the following chart:

Address Class First Byte Address Range


Class A 0 through 127 0.H.H.H through 127.H.H.H
Class B 128 through 191 128.N.H.H through 191.N.H.H
Class C 192 through 223 192.N.N.H through 223.N.N.H

where:
N - indicates bytes that are part of the network portion
H - indicates bytes that are part of the host portion.

Host Portion
In general, the host portion is used to identify an individual host connected to an
IP network. For exceptions, see Subnetting section below.
After obtaining an IP network address, the using organization is free to assign host
identifiers in accordance with its specific needs.
Note The following host identifiers have special meanings, and must not be assigned to
an actual host:
• The “all-zeros“ host identifier is interpreted as a network identifier.
• The “all-ones“ host identifier is interpreted as a broadcast address. Therefore, a
message with an “all-ones“ host identifier is accepted by all the hosts in the
network.

Global vs. Private IP Addresses


Given the current number of users already having access to the Internet, and the
rapid increase in this number, the 32-bit IP space address available in Version 4 of
the IP protocol is rather limited.
On the other hand, an IP address must permit unambiguous identification of any
host in the Internet.
That is the reason the allocation of IP addresses to networks is globally controlled
by a universally-accepted IP registry organization (IANA).

IP Environment F-25
Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

Although any address used on the Internet must be unique, there are many IP
networks, called private networks, which are not connected to the Internet. A
private network is also created when the access of hosts to the Internet is
controlled by protocols and procedures that do not permit an outsider to find and
use directly the actual address of the hosts connected to that network. A typical
example of a private network is the internal IP network of an enterprise (such
networks are often called intranets).
In recognition of this fact, IANA permits using two types of addresses:
• Global addresses, i.e., addresses that and are unique in the whole Internet
• Private addresses, i.e., addresses allocated for internal use only and therefore
cannot be used on the Internet.
Although no restrictions need to be imposed on private addresses except for
conforming to the structure specified in the Network Portion section above,
the following address spaces have been specifically put aside by IANA for use
as private addresses:
The Class A addresses in the range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (this
group of addresses is formally referred to as 10/8). This address space is
actually one Class A network number.
The Class B addresses in the range of 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (this
group of addresses is formally referred to as 172.16/12). This address space
defines 16 contiguous Class B network numbers.
The Class C addresses in the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (this
group of addresses is formally referred to as 192.168/16). This address
space defines 256 contiguous Class C network numbers.
Note Three techniques, all supported by the LA-110, are available to improve the
utilization of scarce global address space:
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
• Network Address Translation (NAT) and Network Address/Port Translation
(NAPT).
• Port Address Translation (PAT).
See the Dynamic Allocation of IP Addresses section below.

Subnetting
Given the scarcity of IP network addresses, for organizations operating several
relatively small, physically separated, IP networks, e.g., several departmental
networks, it is advantageous to enable several physical networks to share a
common IP network address. Small in this context means that the number of IP
ports connected to each of these networks is small relative to the host address
space for the corresponding IP address class.
The approach taken to enable the sharing of an IP network address by two or
more networks is called subnetting, which means use of subnets. The subnetting
is relevant only within the using organization, and therefore can be freely selected
to meet its specific needs.
To enable subnetting, the meaning of the bits in the host portion of the IP address
is further sub-divided into two portions:

F-26 IP Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

• Subnet number. For example, subnet numbers can be used to identify


departmental subnets. The subnet number follows the network identifier.
• Host number - the last bits of the IP address.
This subdivision is illustrated below:

Net Number Subnet Number Host Number

For example, when the subnet includes 16 IP hosts, only the last four bits need to
be reserved for the host number. For an organization which obtained one global
Class C network address, this means that four bits are available to identify subnets.
Therefore, this organization can implement 16 IP subnets, each comprising up to
16 hosts (except for two subnets that are limited to 15 hosts).

Subnet Masks
Subnet masks are used to indicate the division of the IP address bits between the
net and subnet portion and the host portion.
The mask is a 32-bit word that includes “ones” in the positions used for net and
subnet identification, followed by “zeros” up to the end of the IP address.
For example, the default subnet mask for any Class C address (i.e., all the eight bits
in the host address space are used for hosts in the same net) is 255.255.255.000.
However, if the same address is used in a subnet comprising up to 16 hosts and for
which the host numbers range is 00 to 15, the subnet mask changes as follows:
IP Address 192 70 55 13
(Dotted-Quad)
IP Address 1011 1111 0100 0110 0011 0111 0000 0111
(Binary)
Subnet Mask 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0000
(Binary)
Subnet Mask 255 255 255 240
(Dotted-Quad)

In most applications, the binary subnet mask is built as a contiguous string of


“ones”, followed by a number of “zeros” (the number of “zeros” is selected as
needed, to complete the number of subnet mask bits to 32). Therefore, when this
conventional approach is used, the subnet mask can also be specified simply by
stating the number of “ones” in the mask. For example, the subnet mask shown
above is specified by stating that it comprises 28 bits.

Dynamic Allocation of IP Addresses


To improve the utilization of the IP address space, several protocols have been
developed. When operating as a router, LA-110 supports the following protocols:
• Use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), used to provide
configuration parameters to IP hosts, including assignment of an IP address and
subnet mask.

IP Environment F-27
Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• Network Address Translation (NAT) and Network Address/Port Translation


((NAT/NAPT), enables converting a large number of private IP addresses to a
smaller number of global IP addresses.
• Use of Port Address Translation (PAT). PAT complements the NAT by allowing
outside access to certain users on the network using private addresses.

DHCP Services
Two types of services DHCP can be provided by the LA-110 IP router:
• DHCP relay services: in this mode, the IP router relays DHCP requests to a
predefined DHCP server. The user can specify the maximum number of hops
that a DHCP request can traverse before being discarded.
• DHCP server services: in this mode, the IP router itself serves as the DHCP
server, which provides in response to DHCP requests an IP address, an IP
subnet mask, a default gateway, and the IP addresses of two DNS servers
(primary and secondary). The user can define up to 10 different DHCP address
pools. For each pool, the user specifies the IP address range, the default
gateway, the primary and secondary DNS servers, and the lease time.

NAT/NAPT Services
The LA-110 IP router can also provide network address translation (NAT) and
network address/port translations (NAPT). The translations can apply to either the
LAN or the WAN port:
• When the address translation is defined on a LAN port, the real IP addresses
are located on the LAN side, and the virtual addresses are located on the
WAN side.
• When the address translation is defined on a WAN port, the real IP addresses
are located on the WAN side, and the virtual addresses are located on the
LAN side.
Four types of translations can be defined:
• Dynamic (temporary) translation of a group of virtual IP addresses to a smaller
group of real IP addresses, in accordance with the usage requirements
received from the hosts using virtual IP addresses. This type is similar to the
basic traditional NAT, as described in RFC2663 and RFC3022.
• Static (permanent) translation of a specific virtual IP address to a specific real IP
address. This is a form of bidirectional NAT, as described in RFC2663.
• Transparent translation (no translation at all): the real and virtual IP addresses
are identical. This is a form of bidirectional NAT, as described in RFC2663.
• Dynamic utilization of a single IP address in accordance with usage
requirements received from the virtual IP addresses, using transport identifiers
(port numbers) for multiplexing. In this case, This type is similar to NAPT, a
form of traditional NAT, as described in RFC2663 and RFC3022.
All the translations, except for the transparent translation, hide the virtual
addresses from the outside world (“outside” is determined by the type of interface,
as explained above).

F-28 IP Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

PAT Services
PAT is a static translation that specifies a unique mapping between a
[real IP address; port; protocol] and a [virtual IP address; port]. Its purpose is to
enable access from the real IP side to a host using a virtual IP address that is
included in an existing dynamic NAPT definition.
Therefore, a PAT translation can be defined only if a matching dynamic NAPT
translation exists (matching means that a SINGLE PAT entry has the same real IP
and virtual entries).

IP Routing Principles

IP Communication between Hosts within the Same Network


The exchange of information between IP hosts is made in packets using the
structure specified by the IP protocol. As explained in the IP Packet Structure
section above, IP frames carry, within their header, the IP addresses of the
destination and source hosts.
In accordance with the IP protocol, an IP host checks the addresses of all the
received frames, and accepts only frames carrying its own IP address as the
destination. The source address is then used to enable the destination to respond
to the source.
An IP host will also respond to broadcasts (frames whose destination host identifier
is “all-ones”).
Note IP hosts support additional protocols within the IP suite, e.g., protocols used for
connectivity checking, maintenance, etc. Therefore, IP hosts will accept additional
types of messages, which are beyond the scope of this description.
When checking the destination address of an IP frame, an IP host starts by
checking the network identifier. If the network identifier is different, the host will
immediately reject the frame. Therefore, IP hosts can communicate only if they
have the same network identifier.
For example, this means that when a user’s IP host is connected directly, through a
LAN, to the LA-110 LAN port, the network identifier part of the IP address
assigned to the LA-110 LAN port must be identical to the network identifier of the
user’s IP host.

IP Communication between Hosts Located on Different Networks


When the destination host is on a different IP network, before IP communication
can be established it is necessary to find a route between the local IP network to
the destination network.
When the user knows the route within the IP network that connects the two hosts
(that is, all the intermediate hosts through which the IP packets exchanged
between the two hosts must pass), it is possible to specify this route directly. This
method is called static routing, and its main advantage is security.
However, in most cases it is not possible to specify a static route. Therefore,
special procedures are needed to find a suitable route. These procedures are
called routing, and the function that implements them is called IP router, or just
router.

IP Environment F-29
Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The most common type of routing protocol in use is called Routing Information
Protocol (RIP), and the current version is referred to as RIP2. RIP1 is also still used,
and is supported by LA-110.
The router can be a software program running on any IP host, but most often it is
implemented on dedicated hardware, e.g., a special purpose PC.
Any router has at least two ports: a local LAN port and a WAN port. Accordingly, a
router keeps two basic types of tables:
• Local LAN table. This table includes the IP addresses of the hosts connected to
the LAN port of the router. These addresses are learned from the source
addresses of the IP frames appearing on the local LAN. The LAN table is
dynamically updated: this means that new hosts are added as they appear on
the LAN, and hosts which are inactive for a specified (long) interval are
removed.
In addition to the dynamic entries in the table, many routers permit the user to
define static addresses in the LAN table. These static addresses are not
removed from the table even if they are inactive for long periods.
• Routing table. This table includes information on the IP routes to other routers.
Routers periodically exchange special messages that enable to build the
routing information appearing in this table. The table is dynamically updated
by these exchanges, therefore new routes are added whereas old, or
disconnected, routes are removed.
In addition to the dynamic entries in the routing table, most routers permit the
user to define static entries to the desired destinations in the routing table.
These entries are permanent, and in addition they have priority over dynamic
(learned) entries: this means that the user-entered route will always be used
(provided it is active), even if a dynamic route is also available.
A router receiving an IP frame with a destination address not located on the local
LAN must find a route through the WAN or Internet to the destination. In general,
this involves “asking” the other routers whether the destination is on their local
LAN.
After the appropriate remote router is found, the process ends. At this stage, the
local router can send the IP frame to the next router on the route to the
destination; the next router then sends the frame to the third router on the path to
the destination, and so on. When the remote router gets the frame, it places it on
the local LAN, where the addressed host can read it. Responses from the host
automatically follow the same route through the Internet, but in reverse.

Default Gateways
The general IP routing process described above has two shortcomings:
• It requires significant time to complete, because it involves a rather lengthy
exchange of information
• The destination cannot influence the selection of a route, which is
automatically performed.
To partially overcome these shortcomings, the IP protocol permits the destination
host to specify one of the following routing options:

F-30 IP Environment
LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

• The IP address (and the subnet mask) of the router to be used as a default to
establish IP communication. The router selected for this purpose is called
default gateway.
• The next hop address: this is the address to which any packets not addressed
to hosts in the same net (or subnet) will be sent. This is usually the address of a
specific IP router, which is “known” to be able to provide the route to the
desired destinations.
For example, a default gateway must always be specified when the RADview
station is not on the same IP network with the managed LA-110 unit. This is often
the case when the LA-110 unit is managed inband.

Tools for Checking IP Connectivity


The IP protocol is referred to as an unreliable connectionless packet delivery
protocol, because each packet transmitted by an IP host travels on its own through
the network until it eventually reaches its destination. To ensure reliable delivery,
higher layer protocols are used, for example, the widely-used TCP protocol.
However, using higher layer protocols cannot provide an answer to the need to
check that it is indeed possible to reach the desired IP destination address,
because configuration errors or a network fault, for example, temporary congestion
or failure of critical communication links, may still prevent the establishment of an
IP connection. Therefore, it is often necessary to check for IP connectivity.
The IP protocol suite includes a special protocol, the Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP), that enables IP hosts connected to the Internet to report a wide
range of errors and provide information about the conditions that caused the
errors. Support for this protocol is mandatory on every IP host.
ICMP includes a dedicated connectivity test procedure, implemented by means of
two types of ICMP messages: echo request and echo reply. This procedure is
often referred to as pinging: the host wanting to check IP connectivity to a
destination sends one or more ping (echo request) messages, and the destination
returns an echo reply message for each request. By comparing the number of
pings sent to the number received and the time needed for each reply to reach
the ping source, the source host can obtain useful information regarding the
transmission conditions.

Frame Relay Support over ATM F-31


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

F.5 Frame Relay Support over ATM


The serial data port of the LA-110 can be configured to support Frame Relay
equipment. To transfer Frame Relay traffic over the ATM network, LA-110 can be
configured either to encapsulate the Frame Relay PDUs (frames) in the ATM
protocol, or to translate them to the ATM protocol.
Frame Relay PDU Structure
Figure F-6 shows the structure of the Frame Relay frames (formally, the frames are
called protocol data units – PDUs).

DLCI (4 bits) FECN BECN DE EA (1)
Information Byte 1 Payload Data

. .
. .
Information Byte N Payload Data
Frame Trailer FCS (Byte 1)
FCS (Byte 2)
Frame End Flag

Figure F-6. Frame Relay PDU (Frame) Structure

Each Frame Relay PDU starts and ends with an one-byte flag, and in addition
includes:
• Two-byte header that carries the routing control data.
• Information field, which carries payload data of variable length.
• Two-byte trailer.
The frame fields have the following functions:
• Flag. The flag is used to separate between consecutive frames. Only one flag is
needed to separate consecutive frames, therefore the ending flag of a frame
can also serve as the opening flag of the next frame.
• Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI). The standard DLCI consists of
10 bits, therefore the allowed range of DLCIs is 0 through 1023. Some values
in this range are reserved. The reserved DLCIs are as follows:

DLCI Function
0 Used for local in-channel signaling
1 through 15 Reserved for network use
16 to 991 Available for users traffic routing
992 to 1023 Reserved for network use

F-32 Frame Relay Support over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

The function of the DLCI is to serve as a routing label for frames.


• Command/Response (C/R) bit. The C/R bit is transparently transferred, and is
available for users protocols.
• Extended Address (EA) bit. The EA bit is used to indicate the use of extended
addressing. In general, only 10-bit DLCIs are used, and therefore the EA bit is
set to 0 in the first header byte, and to 1 in the second header byte.
• Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN) bit. The FECN bit is
normally set to 0. When congestion occurs, that is, when the network does not
have sufficient resources to handle the users traffic at the current rate, the
FECN bit can be set by the network to 1, to notify downstream equipment
(that is, other equipment that receive the frame) that congestion avoidance
procedures should be performed.
This bit is intended for use by protocols which enable the destination to
control the traffic generated by the source: in response to the reception of
frames with the FECN indicator set, the destination is expected to signal the
source that it must reduce the rate at which it sends data.
• Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN) bit. The BECN bit is
normally set to 0. When congestion occurs, the BECN bit can be set by the
network to 1, to notify upstream equipment (that is, the equipment that
transmits the frames) that congestion avoidance procedures should be
performed.
This bit is intended for use by protocols where the traffic is controlled by the
source: in response to the reception of frames with the BECN indicator set, the
source is expected to reduce the rate at which it sends data.
• Delete Eligibility (DE) indication. This bit is used to indicate the priority set
by the user for this frame. This bit is set to 1 for frames that have lower priority
and may be discarded in case of congestion, or when the network rejects users
data because the user exceeds its subscribed data rate.
• Information field. The information field carries the users data.
• Frame check sequence (FCS). The FCS field consists of two bytes, calculated
in accordance with the CRC16 polynomial specified by ITU-T Rec. Q.921. The
LA-110 also supports the CRC32 polynomial.
Note The CRC16 polynomial is effective at detecting errors in frames up to 4096 bytes
long. For longer frames, it is necessary to select the CRC32 polynomial. If some
equipment on the transmission path does not support the CRC32 polynomial, the
user must select higher-level protocols that can provide the error detection
function.

Handling of Frame Relay Traffic


When using the Frame Relay interface mode, the ATM protocol stack includes an
additional sublayer, located atop the AAL5 CPCS, as shown in Figure F-7.

This sublayer, called Frame Relay Service Specific Convergence Sublayer


(FR-SSCS), performs the functions required to transport the Frame Relay PDU
through the ATM network. In particular, it is necessary to perform the following
functions:
• Convert the Frame Relay DLCI to the desired ATM VPI.VCI pair. The LA-110
user can specify, for each DLCI, the desired VPI.VCI pair.
In general, each DLCI is routed through a unique VPI.VCI pair (ATM
connection), however for connections defined on Frame Relay ports
configured for the network interworking mode the LA-110 provides the option
to route several DLCIs through the same ATM connection.
• Convert between the bits used to control congestion, in accordance with the
documents applicable to the Frame Relay port interworking mode (Frame
Relay Forum document FRF.5 for ports configured for the network
interworking mode, and document FRF.8 for ports configured for the service
interworking mode):
Conversion between the congestion indications supported by the ATM
network to the FECN and BECN bits of the Frame Relay protocol.
Conversion between the DE bit received from the Frame Relay DTE and
the CLP bit in the corresponding ATM cells. In this respect, the user can
configure the LA-110 either to perform conversion of equivalent
indications, or to set the bits to a predetermined value.
• Convert OAM information between the Frame Relay side and the ATM side in
accordance with the documents applicable to the Frame Relay port
interworking mode (FRF.5 and FRF.8).
The LA-110 enables the user to select additional conversion services to be
performed, in accordance with the selected interworking method:
• For network interworking, the user can specify the DLCI to be used at the far
end of the link, to complete the end-to-end connection.
• For service interworking, the user can select the handling of the upper layer
user protocols:

Multiprotocol translation - the LA-110 converts the encapsulation header


from the format required by RFC 1490 (Frame Relay) to the format of RFC
1483 (ATM).
This mode is used for transferring internetworking (routed or bridged)
protocols, e.g., in LAN-to-LAN applications.
Transparent - The LA-110 transparently transfers the encapsulation header.
This mode is used when the users protocols do not conform with the
protocols supported in the translation mode, but are compatible with the
users equipment at the two ends of the connection. A typical application
for this mode is packetized voice.

F.6 Ethernet Support over ATM

Introduction to Ethernet Transmission


One of the most successful LAN technologies is referred to by the generic term
Ethernet. The Ethernet technology is suitable for a wide range of physical media:
coaxial cable, twisted pairs and optical fibers. The current standards for Ethernet
transmission cover rates from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. In many office LANs, Ethernet
runs at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps; network interface cards (NICs) for PCs usually
support both of these rates.
The basic standard covering Ethernet LANs is IEEE Standard 802.3, which is very
similar to the original Ethernet V2.0 specification (ISO/IEC also have a similar
standard). In addition to the aspects covered by IEEE 802.3 standards, there is a
wide range of LAN standards (the IEEE 802 family) that cover other aspects of LAN
transmission, for example, bridging, with particular emphasis on Ethernet LANs.
Ethernet standards (in their broadest interpretation) cover the physical and data
link control layers (layers 1 and 2 in the OSI model; IP is a layer 3 protocol). The
data link control layer is split into two sublayers:
• Media access control (MAC)
• Logical link control (LLC).

Ethernet LAN Topologies


Ethernet LANs use a multidrop topology. The LANs can be implemented in two
main topologies:
• Bus topology, which consists of a single coaxial cable that runs between the
users’ stations. This topology supports only half-duplex communication
• Star (hub-based) topology, which is the main topology used today.
Figure F-8 shows the general structure of a LAN using the star topology.

In the star topology, all the nodes on the LAN are connected to a common unit,
which serves as the hub of the LAN. The hub can be implemented in two ways:
• Simple Ethernet hub, which detects the transmitting node and transparently
distributes its signal to all the other nodes. A hub supports only half-duplex
communication (the same as in a bus topology).
• Ethernet switch: the switch includes more sophisticated circuits that enable
both half-duplex and full-duplex operation and prevent collisions.
The LAN cables are usually made of two twisted pairs (one transmit pair and one
receive pair). The standard connector type is RJ-45, and its pin assignment has also
been standardized. However, because of the need to use separate transmit and
receive pairs, two types of port pin assignments have developed: station ports and
hub ports (the difference is interchanging of the transmit and receive pins in the
connector). This permits to interconnect connectors of different types by a cable
wired pin-to-pin (straight cable). To interconnect ports of same type, a crossed
cable (a cable wired to interconnect the transmit pair at one end to the receive
pair at the other end) is necessary.
Interfaces operating on twisted pairs are designated in accordance with data rate:
10Base-T (10 Mbps) or 100Base-TX (100 Mbps, where X is the number of pairs).
Interfaces that support both rates are identified as 10/100BaseT.

Ethernet Communication Protocol


Ethernet is used as a generic term for a LAN transmission technology that uses
Carrier Sense and Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) to enable
the transmission of short bursts of data (called frames) between two or more
stations (nodes). The simplest way to visualize the transmission technology is to use
the bus analogy. Therefore, all the users have permanent access to the full
bandwidth of the transmission medium but can only use it for short times, by
transmitting short data bursts. Each data burst has a fixed structure, called a frame.
The frame structure is explained below. The connection point of each user to the
transmission media is called a node. For identification purposes, each LAN node is
assigned a unique number, called address.

F-36 Ethernet Support over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

Media Access Method


Media access is performed by means of the carrier sense, multiple access protocol
(CSMA) with collision detection (CD), defined by IEEE Standard 802.3. The
protocol defines three basic steps:
• A node that wants to transmit checks that the LAN is free. If another node is
already transmitting, the node waits until the LAN is free.
• When the LAN is free, the node starts transmission and sends its frame. Each
node has equal access rights, therefore the first node that starts transmitting is
the one that seizes the LAN.
• When two nodes start transmitting at the same instant, a collision occurs. In
this case, the transmitting nodes will continue to transmit for some time, in
order to ensure that all transmitting nodes detected the collision (this is called
“jamming”). After the jamming period, all transmitting nodes stop the
transmission and wait for a random period of time before trying again. The
delay times are a function of collision numbers and random time delay,
therefore there is a good chance that an additional collision between these
nodes will be avoided, and the nodes will be able to transmit their messages.
The basic procedure described above has been developed for half-duplex
communication, because it declares a collision whenever data is received during a
local transmission. However, when using twisted pairs, separate pairs are used for
the transmit and receive directions. Therefore, each node is capable of
simultaneously transmitting and receiving (full-duplex operation), thereby doubling
the effective data rate on the LAN.
Modern Ethernet interfaces, designated 10/100BaseT, are also capable of
operation at the two basic rates, 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. Therefore, the rate and
operating mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) are user-configurable options.
When connecting equipment from different vendors to a common LAN, four
operating modes are possible. These modes are listed below in ascending order of
capabilities:
• Half duplex operation at 10 Mbps.
• Full duplex operation at 10 Mbps.
• Half duplex operation at 100 Mbps.
• Full duplex operation at 100 Mbps.
To ensure interoperability (which practically means to select the highest transport
capability supported by all the equipment connected to the LAN), two approaches
can be used: manual configuration of each equipment interface, or automatic
negotiation (autonegotiation) in accordance with IEEE 802.3.
The autonegotiation procedure enables automatic selection of the operating mode
on a LAN, and also enables equipment connecting to an operating LAN to
automatically adopt the LAN operating mode (if it is capable of supporting that
mode).

Ethernet Support over ATM F-37


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

When autonegotiation is enabled on all the nodes attached (or trying to attach) to
a LAN, the process is always successful. However, even if the nodes on an
operating LAN are manually configured for operation in a fixed mode, a
late-comer node with autonegotiation capability can still resolve the LAN operating
rate can be resolved, thereby enabling it to adopt the LAN rate. Under these
conditions, an autonegotiating node cannot detect the operating mode (half or full
duplex), and therefore they will default to half-duplex. Therefore, as a practical
configuration rule, do not enable the full-duplex mode without enabling
autonegotiation, except when all the nodes have been manually configured for the
desired operating mode (which may of course be full duplex).

Basic Ethernet Frame Structure


The frame transmitted by each node contains routing, management and error
correction information. For Ethernet LANs, the characteristics of frames are
defined by IEEE Standard 802.3.
Basic frame lengths can vary from 72 to 1526 bytes and have the typical structure
shown in Figure F-9.
• Preamble. Each frame starts with a preamble of seven bytes. The preamble is
used as a synchronizing sequence for the interface circuits, and helps bit
decoding.
• Start-Frame Delimiter (SFD) field – consists of one byte. The SFD field
indicates where the useful information starts.
• Medium-Access (MAC) Destination Address (DA) field – consists of six bytes.
The MAC DA field carries the address of the destination node.
• Medium-Access (MAC) Source Address (SA) field – consists of six bytes. The
MAC SA field carries the address of the source node.
Note In writing, MAC addresses are represented as 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits,
separated by dashes, for example, 08-10-39-03-2F-C3.
• Length/Type field – consists of two bytes that indicate the number of bytes
contained in the logical link control (LLC) data field. In most Ethernet protocol
versions, this field contains a constant indicating the protocol type (in this case,
this field is designated EtherType).
• MAC Client Data field. The MAC client data field can contain 0 to 1500 bytes
of user-supplied data.
• Padding field. The optional padding field contains dummy data, that is used to
increase the length of short frames to at least 64 bytes.
• Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field – contains four check bytes generated by a
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code. The FCS field is used to detect errors in
the data carried in the frame.

Bridging

Communication between Nodes on Same LAN


Unlike IP addresses, a MAC address is unique and identifies a single physical port.
Therefore, two Ethernet nodes attached to the same LAN exchange frame directly,
by specifying the desired MAC destination address, together with the source MAC
address. The node that identifies its MAC address in the destination field can send a
response by copying the source address of the frame to the destination address field.

Communication between Nodes on Different LANs


To enable nodes on different LANs to communicate, it is necessary to transfer
frames between the two LANs. The device used for this purpose is called MAC
bridge, or just bridge. Two types of bridges are used:
• Local bridges, which have Ethernet ports attached to the two LANs. The bridge
control mechanism learns the nodes attached to each LAN by reading the
source MAC addresses of the frames generated by the nodes. When the
destination address of a frame is not on the LAN from which it was received,
the bridge transfers it to the other LAN.
• Remote bridges, which are used in pairs. A basic remote bridge has one LAN
port and one WAN port. The WAN port communicates through a link with the
WAN port of the remote bridge connected to the desired remote LAN. In this
case, the traffic addressed to destinations not located on the local LAN is
transferred through the WAN link to the remote bridge.

Using Virtual Bridged LANs


VLAN can be used to provide separation between traffic from different sources
sharing the same physical transmission facilities, and provide information on the
relative priority the user assigns to each frame. The characteristics and use of
virtual LANs (VLANs) and of the MAC bridges capable of handling tagged frames
are defined in IEEE Standard 802.1Q.
VLANs are made possible by a slight modification to the Ethernet frame structure
shown in Figure F-9. The structure of an Ethernet frame with VLAN support is
shown in Figure F-10 (for simplicity, the figure does not include the preamble and
SFD fields).

Figure F-10. Structure of Ethernet Frame with VLAN Support

Ethernet frames with VLAN support include a tag header immediately after the
source MAC address (therefore, such frames are also referred to as tagged frames).
The tag header comprises 4 bytes:
• Two bytes for the tag protocol identifier. For Ethernet-encoded tags in
accordance with IEEE 802.1Q. These bytes carry the equivalent of 8100.
• Priority (PRI) specified by the user (3 bits: 7 is the highest priority and 0 is the
lowest priority).
• One bit for the canonical format indicator (always 0 as shown in Figure F-10).
• VLAN ID (12 bits), used to indicate the VLAN to which the frame belongs.

Transporting IP Traffic over Ethernet

Encapsulation in Ethernet Frames


IP traffic is carried in the LLC data field of the Ethernet frame (see Figure F-9). This
is called encapsulation. The EtherType value for the IP protocol is 0800.
Whenever possible, the whole IP packet (including the header) is inserted in one
Ethernet frame. However, IP packets can be much longer than the LLC data field
of Ethernet frames: in this case, it is necessary to fragment the IP packets in
accordance with the desired size of data field, and transfer each fragment in a
separate frame. The receiving IP host then reassembles the original packet from its
fragments.
Note TDMoIP packets are never fragmented. This is not necessary anyway, because a
TDMoIP packet is relatively short.

ARP Protocol
When sending IP packets over Ethernet, it is necessary to determine the MAC
address of the destination, to insert it in the Ethernet destination MAC address of
the packet. Actually, this is necessary for any physical transmission technology that
is not limited to point-to-point topologies.

F-40 Ethernet Support over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

This is performed by means of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), part of the
IP suite of protocols. ARP is used to generate a look-up table that translates IP
addresses to MAC addresses for any transmission technology. The translation is
done only for outgoing IP packets, because this is when the IP header and the
Ethernet header are created.
The ARP table contains one row for each IP host: each row has two columns, one
listing the IP address and the other listing the corresponding MAC (Ethernet)
address. When translating an IP address to an Ethernet address, the table is
searched for the row corresponding to the destination IP address, and the
corresponding Ethernet address is then found in the same row.
Whenever a packet must be sent to a new IP destination, that is, a destination
whose MAC address is not known, the IP host sends an ARP request packet, listing
its own IP address and MAC address, the destination IP address, but no destination
MAC address. When the packet reaches the destination address (using the IP
routing process), the destination returns an ARP response packet, in which its own
MAC address field is filled. The packet eventually returns to the sender, thereby
providing the missing information.
The structure of ARP packets is shown in Figure F-11.

AAL5 CPCS PDU Fields


An LA-110 unit with LAN (Ethernet) port supports transfer of Ethernet traffic over
the ATM network using the AAL5 layer, in accordance with RFC 1483
(multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM). The Ethernet frames are transferred using
LLC-SNAP encapsulation. All the Ethernet traffic is transferred over a single
connection, irrespective of the MAC addresses of the frames.
Figure F-12 shows the structure of the AAL5 CPCS PDU payload field used to carry
Ethernet frames using the LLC-SNAP encapsulation method.

The payload field includes the original LLC and SNAP headers. The PID field in the
SNAP header can assume two values:
• 0001 (hexa) to indicate the bridged IEEE 802.3 protocol, with end-to-end
transmission of the FCS field of the Ethernet frame.
• 0007 (hexa) to indicate the bridged IEEE 802.3 protocol, without end-to-end
transmission of the FCS field.
The LA-110 supports both FCS transmission options, the selection being made by
the user.
After the SNAP header, the AAL5 CPCS PDU includes optional padding bytes (0
through 47, as required to ensure that the length of the payload field is an integer
multiple of 48 bytes (the ATM cell payload length), the destination MAC address
and then the other parts of the MAC frame (see figure C-10). When the PID is
0001, the AAL5 CPCS PDU also includes the 4 bytes of the LAN frame FCS field.

F-42 Circuit Emulation over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

F.7 Circuit Emulation over ATM


The circuit emulation service (CES) enables the transmission of constant bit rate
(CBR) data over the ATM network, in accordance with the ATM Forum Circuit
Emulation Service Interoperability Specification. CES uses AAL1.
The LA-110 supports circuit emulation service through the fractional E1 user port,
using AAL1 in accordance with ITU-T Rec. I.363. In addition, analog voice traffic
(received through FXS interfaces) can also be supported when AAL1 is used.
The LA-110 supports only the structured data transfer (SDT) service mode.
Figure F-13 illustrates the structure of the ATM protocol stack used for CBR
transmission using AAL1.

Figure F-13. ATM Protocol Stack for CBR Transmission

Protocol Stack
A general description of the ATM protocol stack structure is given in the
Characteristics of ATM Service section above. The protocol stack for the CBR
service includes the following layers:
• Service Interface. The service interface is the user port, and its main function is
the processing of the E1 data stream received from users equipment.
• The next layer is the AAL1 convergence sublayer, followed by the AAL1 SAR
sublayer.
• The lower layers (ATM layer and UNI physical layer).
The following sections explain the processes, which are specific to the AAL1
protocol stack.
Processing of E1 Data Stream
The processing of the incoming E1 data stream includes:
• Physical layer processing:
Regeneration of incoming signal and recovery of the associated timing.
Transmission of E1 signal to the line.
Detection of physical layer defects and failures, support for test loopbacks,
and collection of physical layer performance statistics.

Circuit Emulation over ATM F-43


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

• Port timing. The service interface also handles the port timing (see general
description of timing options in Chapter 1).
In particular, the service interface generates the transmit-to-user timing. This
timing is locked to the timing recovered from the receive signal at the remote
end of the CBR link, otherwise bit integrity will be lost. This function is also
supported by the CS sublayer.
• Synchronization to the frame and super-frame structure, in accordance with
the selected E1 framing mode.
• Retrieval of payload data from the specified timeslots. For each connection
defined on the user port, the LA-110 enables the user to select the timeslots
whose data is to be transmitted to the remote end through the ATM
connection.
When the connection to the ATM network is also made through an E1 link, it
is not possible to transmit the whole payload, because some of the main link
bandwidth is reserved for ATM overhead: the maximum number of timeslots
that can be transmitted is 25 for E1 uplinks, and 18 f uplinks.
• Signaling information processing. The user can select between two modes:
Basic (non-CAS) service: in this mode, no special processing of signaling
information is performed. Signaling information may be transmitted in a
separate timeslot (for example, using CCS - common channel signaling).
CAS mode: in this mode, the service interface processes the timeslot 16 or
"robbed-bit" signaling information associated with the connection timeslots,
and transfers it using AAL1 services.
The user payload data, and optionally the associated signaling data, is transferred
to the AAL1 convergence sublayer.

Processing at the AAL1 SAR Sublayer


In the transmit direction, the AAL1 SAR sublayer receives data from the AAL1
convergence sublayer in CS PDUs (CS protocol data units) containing 47 bytes,
and generates 48-byte SAR PDUs which are transferred to the ATM layer. The
reverse is performed in the receive direction.
The user bytes are aligned with the ATM cell bytes.
The SAR PDU is formed by adding a SAR header of one byte to the 47 bytes of a
CS PDU. The SAR header contains the following information:
• Sequence number (SN) field (four bits). The sequence number is in the range
of 0 to 7, and it enables keeping track of the cell order at the receiving end.
This enables the detection of lost, or misinserted cells.
In addition, one bit indicates whether a CS sublayer is present (for structured
data transfer, the use of the CS sublayer is mandatory).
• Sequence number protection (SNP) field (four bits). The SNP field includes
three bits that carry a checksum generated by a third-order CRC code (CRC-3),
followed by an even parity bit. The parity bit improves the error detection
capabilities. Since some equipment does not support the parity bit, the user
can disable its use.
The SNP field enables the correction of single errors in the SAR header, and
the detection of two errors.

F-44 Circuit Emulation over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

Processing at the AAL1 Convergence Sublayer


The AAL1 functionality is defined in ITU-T Rec. I.363.1. The function of the CS
sublayer is to enable the transmission of fixed-size data blocks (where each block
consists of an integer number of bytes), in the payload fields of ATM cells, while
detecting missing or misinserted cells, and providing source clock recovery.
The start of each block is indicated by a special type of pointer, the AAL1 structure
pointer. The AAL1 structure pointer consists of one byte and is inserted in the first
byte of the payload field in each even cell (0, 2, 4, 6) in the eight-cell sequence
defined by means of the SN field. It indicates the offset, in bytes, between the end
of the pointer field, and the beginning of the next structured block in the 93-byte
payload part.
The AAL1 convergence sublayer inserts the data from the service interface in
CS-PDUs (CS protocol data units) containing 47 bytes. Therefore, the payload field
of cells carrying the AAL1 structure pointer may include a maximum of 46 payload
bytes.
CS PDU structure depends on the service type: basic (non-CAS) or CAS service.

Basic Service CS PDU


For the basic service, the CS PDU includes only payload data. The data block is
formed by collecting N bytes (one from each timeslot to be carried by the
connection) from each frame. N is the data rate multiplier, N × 64 kbps, in the
range of 1 through 26 for E1 uplinks and 1 through 18 uplinks.
Figure F-14 shows a typical data block for N = 3.

Figure F-14. Basic Service - Data Block Structure

Note that the time required to collect enough timeslots to fill a cell depends on the
number of timeslots being carried. At the minimum data rate supported by the
user port (128 kbps), corresponding to two timeslots per block, the time required
to fill a cell is approx. 3 msec. To enable the user to reduce this inherent delay, the
LA-110 enables specifying the number of payload bytes per cell: the remaining cell
bytes are then filled with padding bytes.

Circuit Emulation over ATM F-45


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

CAS CS PDU
For the CAS service, the CS PDU includes a payload data part and a signaling
substructure, used to carry the signaling information associated with the
connection timeslots.
• The payload part of the data block has the length of one multiframe (that is,
16 E1 frames).
• The signaling substructure contains the signaling bits associated with the
payload timeslots for the current multiframe. With 256S framing, the signaling
substructure contains four signaling bits (A, B, C, D) for each payload timeslot.
Padding bits (0s) are used to fill fields which do not carry signaling payload.
Figure F-15 shows a typical data block for N = 3 when 256S framing is used.

Dynamic Bandwidth Utilization (DBCES)


The principles governing the building of the data block structures described above
for the CAS service can be extended to support additional signaling capabilities.
One of the most important applications is dynamic bandwidth utilization over CES
(DB-CES).
To enable dynamic bandwidth utilization in an ATM network, it is necessary to
detect which timeslots of a given TDM trunk are active and which are inactive.
When an inactive state is detected in a specific timeslot, the timeslot is dropped
from the next ATM structure and the bandwidth it was using may be reutilized for
other services. This method may be applied utilizing any method of timeslot
activity detection, e.g., CAS, CCS.
This approach preserves the CES transmission characteristics while enabling
efficient utilization of the available ATM link bandwidth.

F-46 Circuit Emulation over ATM


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

F.8 SNMP Environment


The SNMP management functions of the LA-110 are provided by an internal
SNMP agent.
SNMP management communication uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a
connectionless-mode transport protocol, part of the suite of protocols of the
Internet Protocol (IP).
Note
Telnet management uses the TCP protocol over IP for management communication.
After a Telnet session is started, the management interface is similar to that used for
the supervision terminal.

SNMP Principles
The SNMP management protocol is an asynchronous command/response polling
protocol: all the management traffic is initiated by the SNMP-based network
management station (except for trap messages), which addresses the managed
entities in its management domain. Only the addressed managed entity answers
the polling of the management station.
The managed entities include a function called an “SNMP agent”, which is
responsible for interpretation and handling of the management station requests to
the managed entity, and the generation of properly-formatted responses to the
management station.

SNMP Operations
The SNMP protocol includes four types of operations:
getRequest Command for retrieving specific management
information from the managed entity. The managed
entity responds with a getResponse message.
getNextRequest Command for retrieving sequentially specific
management information from the managed entity.
The managed entity responds with a getResponse
message.
setRequest Command for manipulating specific management
information within the managed entity. The
managed entity responds with a setResponse
message.
trap Management message carrying unsolicited
information on extraordinary events (e.g., alarms)
reported by the managed entity.

Management Information Base


The management information base (MIB) includes a collection of managed
objects. A managed object is defined as a parameter that can be managed, such as
a performance statistics value.

SNMP Environment F-47


Appendix F Operating Environment LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual

The MIB includes the definitions of relevant managed objects. Various MIBs can
be defined for various management purposes, types of equipment, etc.
An objects definition includes the range of values and the “access” rights:
Read-only Object value can be read, but cannot be set.
Read-write Object value can be read or set.
Write-only Object value can be set, but cannot be read.
Not accessible Object value cannot be read, nor set.

MIB Structure
The MIB has an inverted tree-like structure, with each definition of a managed
object forming one leaf, located at the end of a branch of that tree. Each “leaf” in
the MIB is reached by a unique path, therefore by numbering the branching points,
starting with the top, each leaf can be uniquely defined by a sequence of numbers.
The formal description of the managed objects and the MIB structure is provided in
a special standardized format, called Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1).
Since the general collection of MIBs can also be organized in a similar structure,
under the supervision of the Internet Activities Board (IAB), any parameter
included in a MIB that is recognized by the IAB is uniquely defined.
To provide the flexibility necessary in a global structure, MIBs are classified in
various classes (branches), one of them being the experimental branch, and
another the group of private (enterprise-specific) branch. Under the private
enterprise-specific branch of MIBs, each enterprise (manufacturer) can be assigned
a number, which is its enterprise number. The assigned number designates the top
of an enterprise-specific sub-tree of non-standard MIBs. Within this context, RAD
has been assigned the enterprise number 164. Therefore, enterprise MIBs
published by RAD can be found under 1.3.6.1.4.1.164.
MIBs of general interest are published by the IAB in the form of a Request for
Comment (RFC) document. In addition, MIBs are also often assigned informal
names that reflect their primary purpose. Enterprise-specific MIBs are published
and distributed by their originator, which is responsible for their contents.
Enterprise-specific MIBs supported by RAD equipment, including the LA-110, are
available in ASN.1 format from the RAD Technical Support Department.

Management Domains Under SNMP


SNMP enables, in principle, each management station that knows the MIBs
supported by a device to perform all the management operations available on that
device. However, this is not desirable in practical situations, so it is necessary to
provide a means to delimit management domains.

SNMP Communities
To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses “communities”.
Each community is identified by a name, which is a case-sensitive alphanumeric
string defined by the user (the LA-110 SNMP agents support community names of
up to 8 characters).

F-48 SNMP Environment


LA-110 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix F Operating Environment

Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management
stations) can be assigned by its user community names.

Access Restriction Using SNMP Communities


In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:
• Read-only: the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest and
getNextRequest commands from management stations which have the same
read-only community name.
• Read-write: the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP commands
received from a management station with the same write community name.
For each SNMP entity it is possible to define a list of the communities which are
authorized to communicate with it, and the access rights associated with each
community (this is the SNMP community name table of the entity).
For example, the SNMP community name table of the SNMP agent of the LA-110
can include three community names.
In accordance with the SNMP protocol, the SNMP community of the originating
entity is sent in each message.
When an SNMP message is received by the addressed entity, first it checks the
originators community: if the community name of the message originator differs
from the community name specified for that type of message in the agent, the
message it discarded (SNMP agents of managed entities report this event by means
of an authentication failure trap).

LA-110 Communities
The SNMP agent of the LA-110 can recognize the following community types:
Read SNMP community that has read-only authorization, i.e., the SNMP
agent will accept only getRequest and getNextRequest commands
from management stations using that community.
Write SNMP community that has read-write authorization, i.e., the SNMP
agent will also accept setRequest commands from management
stations using that community.
Trap SNMP community which the SNMP agent will send within trap
messages.

DC Power Supply Connection – AC/DC Adapter (AD) Plug
Note: Ignore this supplement if the unit is AC-powered.
Certain units are equipped with a Wide Range AC/DC power supply. These units
are equipped with a standard AC-type 3-prong power input connector located on
the unit rear panel. This power input connector can be used for both AC and DC
voltage inputs.
For DC operation, a compatible straight or 90-degree, AC/DC Adapter (AD) plug
for attaching to your DC power supply lines is supplied with your RAD product
(see Figure 1).
Connect the wires of your DC power supply cable to the AD plug, according to the
voltage polarity and assembly instructions provided below.
Caution: Prepare all connections to the AD plug before inserting it into the unit’s
power connector.
Figure 1
Preparing and Connecting the Power
Supply Cable with the AD Plug
