ATM-BCH (ATM B-Channel Trunk)
This maintenance object explains how you test and repair TN230x ATM Interface
circuit packs (TN2305 and TN2306) that have ATM B-channel trunks administered
for ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES).
ATM Circuit Emulation Service
Under ATM Circuit Emulation Service, you simulate ISDN-PRI circuits by
assigning ATM 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. B-channels must also be assigned to ISDN-PRI trunk groups. TN230x
circuit packs support up to 248 ports per circuit pack.
Signaling group components
Bearer (B) channels (ATM-BCH) transmit digitized voice or data, while a separate
D-channel (ATM-DCH) handles call-control signaling. One D-channel handles
signaling for a group of B-channels that combine to form a signaling group
(ATM-SGRP).
B-channel service states
The ISDN specification defines 2 service state categories for B-channels as listed
in Table 10-65 on page 10-195.

1 UU is the universal cabinet number (1 for PPN, 2-3 for EPNs). C is the carrier
designation (A, B, C, D, or E). SS is the number of the slot where the circuit pack resides
(01-21). ppp is the 3-digit port number (9-256).

3 A MAJOR alarm on a trunk means that alarms on these trunks are not downgraded by
the set options command, and at least 75% of the trunks in this trunk group are
alarmed.
