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 been administered as ATM
B-channel trunks for ATM Circuit Emulation Service (CES).
For maintenance instructions for TN230x circuit packs that are administered as
Expansion Interfaces for ATM network connectivity, see the ATM-EI (Expansion
Interface Circuit Pack) maintenance object.
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. 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 3-49
.

1. UU is the universal cabinet number (1 for PPN, 2-44 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.
