C H A P T E R Overview: PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter This chapter describes the PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter and contains the following sections: • Circuit Emulation Services Overview, page 1-1 PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter Overview, page 1-15 •...
ATM UNI interfaces, that is, between non-ATM telephony devices (such as classic PBXs or TDMs) and ATM devices (such as Cisco 7200 series routers). Thus, a Cisco 7200 series router equipped with an ATM CES port adapter offers a migration path from classic T1/E1 CBR data communications services to emulated CES T1/E1 unstructured (clear channel) services or structured (N x 64) services in an ATM network.
Circuit Emulation Services Overview Figure 1-2 is a generalized representation of how T1/E1 unstructured CES services are set up in conjunction with a Cisco 7200 series router equipped with an ATM CES port adapter. Figure 1-2 T1/E1 Unstructured CES Services Across Leased Lines...
Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series equipped with an ATM CES port adapter. Single or multiple DS0 time slots can be mapped across the ATM network. Each time slot (or DS0 channel) represents a single N x 64 circuit that can transmit CBR data at a rate of 64 kbps.

ATM network. The DS0 channels can be grouped as either contiguous or noncontiguous time slots. The ingress (source) DS0 channels can be mapped into different DS0 channels on egress from the ATM network at the destination node. PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter Installation and Configuration OL-3460-01...

By issuing the network-clock-select command with appropriate parameters, you can define a particular port in a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series to serve as the source of a PRS for the entire chassis or for other devices in the networking environment. This command enables you to designate a particular port in a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series to serve as a “master clock”...

Network Clock Distribution in a Cisco 7200 Series Router or a Cisco uBR7200 series When equipped with an ATM CES port adapter and appropriate software, any Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series can serve as a means for receiving and distributing a PRS to other devices in the network.
Page 22
PRS. The default clock source is the local oscillator. But, in this case, this is not a problem because the traffic from the T1/E1 CBR ports is also disrupted. In the Cisco 7200 series router or the Cisco uBR7200 series, all T1/E1 traffic goes only on the ATM WAN uplink. When ATM 3/0 goes up, the PRS is automatically recovered.
Synchronous clocking mode requires a PRS and network clock synchronization services. When equipped with an ATM CES port adapter and appropriate software, any Cisco 7200 series router or Cisco uBR7200 series can serve as a means for synchronizing the flow of user CBR traffic through the network.
Although this clocking mode is the simplest and easiest to implement in an ATM network, it exhibits the poorest wander and jitter performance of all the available clocking modes. Therefore, Cisco does not recommend its use, except in instances where a PRS and network clock synchronization services are not available.
Each end-to-end CES circuit exhibits delay characteristics, based on the following factors: The delay characteristics of the individual devices participating in the CES circuit. Each – network device contributes some increment of delay, reflecting that device’s unique electrical characteristics. PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 1-13 OL-3460-01...

You can issue the show ces circuit interface command in an unstructured (clear channel) circuit to measure the current CDV value. See Chapter 4, “Configuring the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter,” more information on verifying a configured hard PVC. For an unstructured hard PVC, the CDV value for the circuit (including all hops) should not exceed a maximum allowable CDV value.
Figure 1-10 for examples of each version.) The ATM CES port adapter can be used only on a Cisco 7200 series router or a Cisco uBR7200 series that has a 150-MHz network processing engine (NPE-150). The target application of the ATM CES port adapter is access to a broadband public or private ATM network where multiservice consolidation of voice, video, and data traffic over a single ATM link is a requirement.
The new version of PPP over ATM also complies with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft on multiplexed encapsulation. The previous version of PPP over ATM supported Cisco's Frame Forwarding data encapsulation (aal5ciscoppp). In the current Cisco IOS software releases (see the “Minimum Software and Hardware Requirements”...
Overview: PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter LEDs LEDs The PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter has 13 LEDs that indicate the status of the port adapter, the status of the uplink ports, and the status of the CBR ports. (See Figure 1-11 Figure 1-12.)

Figure 1-15). The T3/E3 75-ohm coaxial cable is available from Cisco in five different lengths: 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 feet. They are not available from outside commercial vendors. The typical maximum distance between stations for T3 transmissions is 450 feet (135 meters) and for E3 transmissions is 1300 feet (390 meters).
SONET, for single-mode transmissions is up to 9 miles (15 kilometers). The ATM CES port adapter uses single-mode fiber, which is capable of higher bandwidth and greater cable run distances than multimode fiber. PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter Installation and Configuration 1-20 OL-3460-01...

In UNI mode, the user is the router, and the network is an ATM switch. This is an important distinction. The Cisco router does not perform ATM-level call routing. Instead, the ATM switch does the ATM call routing, and the router routes packets through the resulting circuit. The router is viewed as the user and the LAN interconnection device at the end of the circuit, and the ATM switch is viewed as the network.

Customizing the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter You can customize the PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter. The features you can customize have default values that will probably suit your environment and not need to be changed. However, you might need to enter configuration commands, depending on the requirements for your system configuration and the protocols you plan to route on the interface.
Each ATM interface has a default maximum packet size or maximum transmission unit (MTU) size. On the PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter, this number defaults to 4470 bytes, the range being 64 through 9188 bytes. To set the maximum MTU size, enter the following command in interface configuration...
