ATM Basics
ATM is a packet-switched technology based on a 53-byte packet called a cell. Each cell is divided into a 5-byte header and a 48-byte payload. The short, fixed length cell reduces delay and jitter, allowing time sensitive information such as voice and video to be transported along with data. There are various transmission media and rates available with bandwidth measured in megabits to gigabits.
ATM Model
ATM is based on Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network, an extension of ISDN. Similar to the OSI model, B-ISDN uses a seven-layer model. ATM redefines the lower 3 layers into the Physical Layer, the ATM Layer and the ATM Adaptation Layer.
The Physical Medium sub-layer (PMD) interfaces with the physical medium. The Transmission Control sub-layer handles cell extraction from the data stream and error checking.
ATM Headers
The ATM Cell has a 5-byte header, with the remaining 48-bytes left for payload (data).
TM
There are two standard headers. Cisco added an addition header type to allow for advanced ATM features. User-to-Network Interface (UNI) header-specifies interface between a user device and a network. Note: A user device is not just a computer interface. It can be a router or switch as well. Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) header-specifies interface between two networks. Usually a private ATM network and a public ATM network. STI header-used between to Cisco ATM switching nodes to allow advanced network features.
Flow Control (4-bits)-a UNI field for controlling access and flow control. Usually all zeros, as there is no defined standards. Virtual Path Indicator (VPI)-identifies the path to be taken by the ATM cell. Virtual Circuit Indicator (VCI)-indicates the circuit number on the path. Payload Type Indicator (PTI, 3-bits)-the type of data being carried in the payload. High order bit is 0 for user data and 1 for connection management information, second bit indicates if there was congestion, and the third bit show if user data is from customer premises equipment. Payload Class (4-bits)-STI field indicating classes of service and BPX switch queues. Cell Loss Priority bit (CL)-indicates the cell may be discarded if congestion is encountered.
TM
ATM Addressing
VCI identifies the circuit or connection. VPI identifies the virtual path. The path can be seen as a trunk that carries multiple circuits between switches. VCI is 16-bits allowing 65, 535 circuit numbers. For the STI header VCI is 8bits for 256 circuits. VPI is 8-bits for the UNI header, 12-bits for the NNI header (4096 paths), and 10-bits for the STI header (1024 paths).

Consists of Convergence sub-layer (CS) and Segmentation and Reassembly sub-layer (SAR). CS receives data from the applications and sends it to the SAR to be segmented into 48-byte blocks.
Quality of Service
These are some of the most important QoS parameters: Peak Cell Rate (PCR)-maximum rate a sender can send cells. Sustained Cell Rate (SCR)-required cell rate averaged over a long interval. Minimum Cell Rate (MCR)-minimum acceptable rate of cells per second. Cell Loss Ratio (CLR)-the fraction of cells not delivered or delivered late. Cell Transfer Delay (CTD)-time from source to destination (transmit time). Cell Error Ratio (CER)-fraction of cells delivered with incorrect bits. Cell Delay Variation (CDV or Jitter)-how regularly cells are delivered. Cells from one conversation on a multiplexed connection may be delayed while cells from another conversation are delivered. Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT)-amount of variation in cell transmission times. Specified separately for PCR and SCR.
Service Categories
The ATM Forum specifies four service categories: Constant Bit Rate (CBR)-entire connection, from source to destination, including intermediary switches, provides a set amount of bandwidth at all times. Expensive because bandwidth is reserved even if it is not used. Variable Bit Rate (VBR)- guarantees an average bit rate over time, but allows a higher peak bit rate, with no cells lost, for a certain amount of time each minute. VBR is broken into two subclasses real time (rt) and non-real time (nrt). o rt-VBR is used for connections that require end-to-end timing, such as voice or video connections using compression or noise reduction.
TM
nrt-VBR can be used when timing relationships are not required, but QoS is still needed.
Available Bit Rate (ABR)-bit rate varies according to network conditions up to a stated maximum. Source adjusts transmission rate due to network information received from the network. Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR)-no set bit rate guarantee. Allows a transmission rate up to a certain maximum, with no guarantee of cell loss or delivery.
TM
Flag-First and last byte of a frame, indicating the beginning and the end. There may be only one flag between frames with the end flag of one frame used as the start flag of the next. Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI)-10-bit routing address of the PVC at a particular UNI or NNI. Some DLCIs are reserve for signaling, management and future use so only 16 to 1007 are used to address virtual circuits. Command/Response (C/R)-not used. Always set to 0. Extended Address (EA)-allows the header to be lengthened to 3 or 4 bytes allowing a DLCI longer than 10-bits (more VC addresses). Forward Explicit Congestion Notification (FECN)-set to 1 by the frame network when congestion is occurring on the packet forwarding direction of the frame. Backward Explicit Congestion Notification (BECN)- set to 1 by the frame network when congestion is occurring on the reversed packet forwarding direction of the frame. Discard Eligibility (DE)-set by the end node to indicate frames to be discard if congestion occurs. Data-also called the information field. May be as large as 4,520 bytes, but is more efficient with a size of less than 4k. Frame Check Sequence (FCS)-standard cyclic redundancy check that detects bit errors in the frame.
Voice Basics
Human voice can achieve a frequency of up to 4000 Hz (usually between 300 to 3000 Hz).
TM
Sampling
General rule is that sample rate should be twice the frequency of the signal to be sampled (example: the human voice is capable of 4000 Hz so a sample rate of 8000 samples per second would be required). Each sample is converted into a 8 bit word (8 bits per sample x 8000 samples per sec = 64kbps).
Companding
Part of the PCM process that determines the digital bits used to represent the voice signals (whether the value of a sample is a digital one or zero). 2 companding laws: o o M-law (-law or mu-law): logarithmic method used in North America A-law: linear at lower levels and logarithmic at higher levels. Used in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America.
Different companding methods are not compatible (international voice traffic requires conversion from one companding method to another).
TM

Does not use A-law or M-law coding. Not reliable for data or fax traffic above 4800 kbps.
Silence Suppression
Reduces bandwidth by stopping transmission during silent periods in the voice signal. Dependant on language spoken, silence suppression can provide 60 percent bandwidth reduction. Algorithm analyzes the signal to determine if a signal is voice or background noise (based on known characteristics of human speech).
Signaling
Signaling occurs between a subscriber and a switch or a switch and a switch. Signaling is the process of sending status and control information between network elements. In voice communications, signaling is generally used to initiate a call or connection. Subscriber to switch signaling is used from handset to PBX and includes on-hook, off-hook detection and dialing. Switch to switch (or interswitch) signaling is used between the local exchange carrier (LEC) and interexchange carrier (IXC) or between PBX and PBX (or switch). Interswitch signaling is generally digital. Two types of interswitch signaling:
10
TM
Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)-signaling is sent on the same path as the voice traffic with the signaling bits in a specified location on each channel. Signal states are limited by number of bits used for signaling. Common Channel Signaling (CCS)-independent signal channels carry the signal information for the voice channels. Generally more complex than CAS and allows for more diverse signal states.

Dialing Formats
There are two different dialing formats used by most switches: Pulse-each number dialed generates a number of pulses (dialing a three would generate 3 pulses). Dual-tone Multifrequency (DTMF or tone)-each number dialed generates two tones that uniquely identify the number.
Echo
Echo is caused by a difference in impedance between two network entities (usually involving conversion from two-wire to four-wire transmission). This difference in impedance causes reflections of the signal perceived as echo. Echo is always present in a voice network. Echo is not a problem unless it reaches an unacceptable level (delays of less than 250ms are generally considered acceptable). Causes of delay: Compression-all compression algorithms have an inherent delay.
11
TM
Packetization-delay caused as voice samples are collected until enough to make up a packet are collected. Congestion-as a network becomes congested, packets can be delayed or dropped. Silence Suppression-voice samples can be held until signal is determined to be voice or noise. Transmission delays-transmissions over distance take time (packet-switched networks generally have more delay than circuit switched networks).
An echo canceller can be added to reduce echo. An echo canceller compares transmit and receive signals to measure loss and delay of the reflected signal and subtracts the expected echo power level from the receive signal.

3. Unpack and install the equipment in the desired rack (may be provided by Cisco or third party). Follow the instructions in the supplied install guide. 4. Install and connect the required power supply. Most models are available in either AC or DC versions. 5. Install the cards in the equipment. Most cards consist of a front and back card pair. If cards are not matched, alarm conditions will occur. All Cisco WAN switches have specific slots reserved for certain cards. These reservations must be followed. Proper grounding (wrist strap) must be followed prior to handling any cards. 6. Install the cable management system and connect the cables to the required ports. 7. Connect a management terminal or Cisco WAN Manager workstation to the console port.
Installation troubleshooting
If there is no power to the switch: Check the power cables. Check Circuit breaker. Card short circuit (pull and reseat all cards). Power supply fault. Remove and reseat card. Check card fuse if applicable. Replace card. If replacement does not fix problem, backplane. Get card status with dspcds. Reset card with resetcd f. Remove and reseat card.
