ATM Circuit Emulation Service
Under ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES), you simulate ISDN-PRI circuits by
assigning ports to signaling groups. Each signaling group represents a PRI circuit,
and the ports in the group represent the D-channel and B-channels of that circuit.
TN230x circuit packs support up to 248 ports per circuit pack.
Virtual D-channels. Non-facility associated signaling is not supported under
ATM-CES, so you must reserve one port in each signaling group for use as a
D-channel (channel 24 when emulating a T-1 ISDN facility, channel 16 when
emulating an E-1 facility). The D-channel can be any physical port from 9 to 32.
Virtual circuits. The TN230x can support a varied number of virtual circuits,
depending on the switch and the administration of the circuit pack. Table 10-87
lists the possibilities for various Avaya DEFINITY Server models.
Virtual trunk groups. You cannot bundle physical DS1 ISDN-PRI circuits and
virtual ATM-CES circuits into the same trunk groups. Virtual circuits can only be
assigned to all-virtual, all-ATM trunk groups. Table 10-88 lists the possible
trunk-group capacities.
