■ The pp VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate) virtual circuits between A500 ports A1.1
(PPN) and A1.2 (EPN) are used for signaling between the PPN and each
EPN.
■ These are established once upon initialization under control of S8700
Multi-Connect call processing. They represent the ATM Control Link (ACL)
and Expansion Archangel Link (EAL).
■ VBRnrt virtual circuits are also be used for ISDN channels between S8700
Multi-Connect port networks.
■ Other VBRnrt virtual circuits may exist between A500 ports that are not
associated with S8700 Multi-Connect port networks. A common use of
VBRnrt circuits is multimedia and video-conferencing systems.
CaPro Layer
Are talk paths being established between port networks?
Diagnostics
■ Can you talk both ways on a set on one port network dialed from another
port network, and vice versa?
1. Enter show switch circuit on the A500 console. Figure 4-36 on page
4-57 shows the screen output.
