5.1 IntroductionTop of Page

This chapter:

· Describes the CG 6000C switch model.

· Describes how trunk channels interface with H.110 timeslots on CG 6000C boards.

· Describes how trunk channels are automatically routed to DSP resources if switching is not enabled.

5.2 CG 6000C Switch ModelTop of Page

In the CG 6000C switch model, specific streams are used in the following way:
Local Streams

Trunk voice

Trunk 1: Streams 0 and 1, timeslots 0..23 (or 29)

Trunk 2: Streams 4 and 5, timeslots 0..23 (or 29)

Trunk 3: Streams 8 and 9, timeslots 0..23 (or 29)

Trunk 4: Streams 12 and 13, timeslots 0..23 (or 29)

(With CG 6000C boards configured as T1s, timeslots 0..23 are present. With CG 6000C boards configured as E1s, timeslots 0..29 are present.)

Trunk signaling

Trunk 1: Streams 2 and 3

Trunk 2: Streams 6 and 7

Trunk 3: Streams10 and 11

Trunk 4: Streams 14 and 15

The timeslots used for the signaling information depend on the board type (T1 or E1) and the board configuration (Trunk[x].TrunkMode). For more information, refer to Section 5.3.

DSP voice

Streams 16 and 17, timeslots 0..127

DSP signaling

Streams 18 and 19, timeslots 0..127

HDLC controllers

Trunk 1: Streams 20 and 21, timeslot 0

Trunk 2: Streams 22 and 23, timeslot 0

Trunk 3: Streams 24 and 25, timeslot 0

Trunk 4: Streams 26 and 27, timeslot 0

A switch connection must be made to connect the appropriate signaling stream to the HDLC controller.

5.2.2 Lucent T8105 Switch BlockingTop of Page

The CG 6000C board switching is implemented by the Lucent T8105 chip (HMIC). The Lucent T8105 chip can perform local bus to local bus switching in full non-blocking way.

The number of H.110 connections are limited to a maximum of 256 full duplex or 512 simplex (or half duplex) connections, in any combination, from either:

5.3 T1 Trunk Channels and Local TimeslotsTop of Page

CG 6000C boards configured as T1 boards place the voice and signaling information from the T1 trunk in timeslots in local streams. The actual timeslots used depend upon how you have configured the CG 6000C board.

The following sections describe how voice and signaling information is mapped to specific streams and timeslots based on the CG 6000C board's NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType setting.

For more information about the NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType keyword, refer to Chapter 6.

5.3.1 T1 Channels/Timeslots for Channel Associated SignalingTop of Page

If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = CAS (its default setting), information is routed to accommodate a T1 channel associated signaling configuration, where:

On the local bus, this information is presented as follows:

5.3.2 T1 Channels/Timeslots for Common Channel SignalingTop of Page

If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = PRI, signaling information is routed to accommodate the T1 ISDN common channel signaling configuration, where:

CG 6000C boards configured as T1s route this information as follows:

On CG 6000C boards (unlike AG boards) the framer signaling is hardwired to the HDLCs when the board runs in PRI mode. Any attempts in the PRI mode to switch framer signaling to the HDLCs will fail. Refer to Figure 26 for the PRI switch model.

Note: The CG 6000C board does not allow signaling streams to be connected to the CT bus.

5.3.3 T1 Channels and Timeslots for RAW ModeTop of Page

If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = RAW, information is routed to accommodate a configuration where no D channel is present on the T1 trunk (refer to Appendix C):

CG 6000C boards configured as T1s route this information as follows (refer to Figure 28):

  • Any signaling information is ignored.

  • 5.4 E1 Trunk Channels and TimeslotsTop of Page

    With CG 6000C boards configured as E1s, NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType affects only the way signaling information is routed. Regardless of the NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType setting, the CG 6000C board routes the voice information as follows:

    Figure 29 illustrates how voice channel data is assigned to timeslots:

    5.4.1 E1 Signaling for Channel Associated SignalingTop of Page

    If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = CAS (the default setting), signaling information is routed to accommodate an E1 channel associated signaling configuration, where E1 channel 16 carries signaling information for all other channels. The signaling information is broken out and placed on the corresponding signaling stream for that trunk. The signaling information is in the following streams:

    The signaling information is placed in the same timeslot number as the voice information for that channel.

    Figure 30 illustrates how signaling data is distributed (although the streams are shown here, they cannot be switched to the CT bus):

    5.4.2 E1 Signaling/Timeslots for Common Channel SignalingTop of Page

    If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = PRI, signaling information is routed differently to accommodate an ISDN common channel signaling configuration, where CCS signaling packets are transmitted in channel 16 instead of CAS bits. All signaling information from channel 16 is placed directly into timeslot 0.

    On CG 6000C boards (unlike AG boards) framer signaling is hardwired to the HDLCs. Any attempts to switch framer signaling to the HDLCs will fail. Refer to Figure 26 for the PRI switch model.

    Note: The CG 6000C board does not allow signaling streams to be connected to the CT bus.

    5.4.3 E1 Channels and Timeslots for RAW ModeTop of Page

    If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType is set to RAW:

    CG 6000C boards configured as E1 route this information as follows (refer to Figure 31):

  • Any signaling information is ignored.

  • 5.5 Default Connections for Standalone BoardTop of Page

    If a board is configured for standalone operation (Clocking.HBus.ClockMode = STANDALONE), the DSPs and trunks are connected as shown in the following table.

    The exact settings for CG 6000C boards configured as T1 depend upon the setting of NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType, as shown in this table:

    Trunk 4: 12:0..22 => 17:72..94, 16:72..94 => 13:0..22

    Note: Timeslots 23, 47, 71, and 95 are unused on streams 16 and 17.

    On CG 6000C boards (unlike AG boards) the framer signaling is hardwired to the HDLCs. Any attempt to switch framer signaling to the HDLCs will fail. Refer to Figure 26 for the PRI switch model.

    Note: The CG 6000C board does not allow signaling streams to be connected to the CT bus. Therefore, streams 20 to 27 are not valid.
