3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 145/3021824.12.1.6 Cross-connectCross connection consists in matching the time-slots (TSs) of a configured port of the TNT board withthose of a configured port of the NT.Note: To make an E1 "cross-connection", E1 type TNT ports can be cross connected with E1 or X21type NT ports.There are two types of cross-connect: between structured ports and between unstructured ports.If the operator wants to offer a 2 Mbps contract, the cross connnection must be unstructured: using aG703 TNT port (32 available TSs, global selection of TSs).If the operator wants to offer a less than 2 Mbps contract, the cross connection must be structured:using a G704 TNT port (31 available TSs, individual selection of TSs).–Unstructured case:In this case, the maximum bit rate is supplied because all the selected TNT port time-slots are connectedto the NT port time-slots.–Structured case:To implement the cross-connect in structured case, proceed in the same way as for non-structured ports,but this time select the time-slots individually.Thirty one time-slots can be brought into play in a E1 cross-connection (the first time-slot (grayed out) isnot accessible because reserved for synchronization). The maximum bit rate is 31*64 kbps.The cross-connect arrows offer you guidance for dragging the TNT slots to the available NT slots; if thecurrent cross-connect corresponds to "unauthorized" ones, an error message is displayed at the bottomof the window and the cross-connect arrows indicate the NT time-slots to which the cross-connect isdirected.1 Select the unstructured ports that you wish to connect2- Select the block of time slots at the TNT by pressing a time slot of the of the time slot block at the TNT 4- Release the buttons: all the slots are selected5- Confirm the cross-connect by creating the cross-conection (see § 4.12.1.3)3- Press the CTRL key while clicking on the left button of the mouse on a TNT time slot and slide the mouse pointer towards NT time slots

146/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01182The slots of a real cross-connection (following the creation phase: see § 4.12.5.3 Creation of a cross-connection) are colored in green.Note: It is not mandatory to create cross-connections with consecutive time slots. In that case, youmust match the first group of TNT time slot with a group of NT time slot, and then match thesecond group and so on.Note: It is not possible to «cross» the links between TNT and NT time slots.

Thismakes it possible to manage the "grooming" capacity at the TNT board ports (see § 4.12.1.7Grooming) where several cross-connections to different NT ports can be cross-connected to thesame port of a TNT board.To lock / unlock a link, select the cross-connection concerned on the E1 cross-connection screen (see§ 4.12.1.3 Presentation of the E1 link management screen) and:To edit the name of a link, select the link in the cross-connections list (see §4.12.1.4 Ports configuration of TNT board (BS)), then click on the button shownhere.FOR A SUBSCRIBER TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAFFIC, THE CROSS-CONNECTION MUST BE UNLOCKED FOR CREATION OF CLIENT SERVICES.THIS OPERATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TELECOMS OPERATOR.IF A PORT IS LOCKED / UNLOCKED, ALL THE CROSS-CONNECTIONSINVOLVING THIS PORT WILL BE RESPECTIVELY LOCKED/UNLOCKED.–click on the icon of the toolbar shown here to lock: the administrative status of thecross-connection switches from "unlocked" to "locked".–click on the icon of the toolbar shown here to unlock: the administrative status ofthe cross-connection switches from "locked" to "unlocked".Click here to modify the link nameClick here to confirm a modification

The CES processes thesignal to recreate it on the TNT board, which therefore emulates a direct "cross-connection" between theATM network and the TNT board.This operating mode notably allows a single connection cable on the BS for all types of client services.Note: a TNT board (and therefore all its ports) can operate only in a given mode: either local (TDMnetwork) or ATM..4.12.6.1 CES link creation procedureThe steps to implement a CES "cross-connection" are as follows:1. Selection of the implemented TNT board;2. Selection of the selected TNT board ports;3. Choice of the ATM link Vci on the ANT board;4. Creation of the CES link.Note: There is only one type of CES link. Indeed, there is no correlation between the TNT port type(E1, T1,ISDN and their G703, G704 (SF, ESF) configurations and the CES "cross-connection".4.12.6.2 Access to CES managementTo access circuit emulation management:To leave out a link: select the link in the cross-connections list (see § 4.12.1.4 Portsconfiguration of TNT board (BS)), then click on the button shown here (in the button barof the screen).BEFORE PERFORMING CIRCUIT EMULATION, YOU MUST CONFIGURE THEINPUT / OUTPUT TYPE OF THE TNT BOARD IMPLEMENTED IN ATM MODE AND ALSO THE CHARACTERISTICS LINKED WITH SYNCHRONIZATION, USED TO RECREATE THE FRAMES ON THE TNT BOARD (SEE 4.5.3.2).BEFORE CREATION OF A CES LINK, ASSOCIATED TNT PORTS MUST BE LOCKED.–click on the button shown here (in the main screen button bar),or else,–open the Services pull-down menu and choose the item: CES
