T1 or E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17 (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) 6 Overview of the T1 or E1 Interface Module Circuit Emulation Circuit Emulation Circuit Emulation (CEM) is a technology that provides a protocol-independent transport over IP/MPLS networks. It enables proprietary or legacy applications to be carried transparently to the destination, similar to a leased line. CEM provides a bridge between a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) network and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. The router encapsulates the TDM data in the MPLS packets and sends the data over a CEM pseudowire to the remote Provider Edge (PE) router. As a result, CEM functions as a physical communication link across the packet network. The router supports the pseudowire type that utilizes CEM transport: Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) and Circuit Emulation Service over Packet-Switched Network (CESoPSN). L2VPN over IP/MPLS is supported on the interface modules. Note We recommend that you configure the controller in the administratively up mode. Configuration under the administratively down mode is not recommended and it might cause configuration errors. Overview of CEM Pseudowire Pseudowires manage encapsulation, timing, order, and other operations in order to make it transparent to users. The pseudowire tunnel acts as an unshared link or circuit of the emulated service. CEM is a way to carry TDM circuits over packet switched network. CEM embeds the TDM circuits into packets, encapsulates them into an appropriate header, and then sends that through Packet Switched Network. The receiver side of CEM restores the TDM circuits from packets. Configuring Pseudowire Cisco Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) allows you to transport traffic by using traditional services such as T1/E1 over a packet-based backhaul technology such as MPLS or IP. A pseudowire (PW) consists of a connection between two provider edge (PE) chassis that connects two attachment circuits (ACs), such as T1/E1 or T3 /E3 links. Framed Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) Framed Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) is required to detect an incoming AIS alarm in the DS1 SAToP mode. An AIS alarm indicates a problem with the line that is upstream from the DS1 network element connected to the interface. Framed SAToP further helps in the detection of a packet drop. In case of unframed mode of SAToP, data received from the Customer Edge (CE) device is transported ove the pseudowire. If the Provider Edge (PE) device receives a Loss of Frame (LOF) signal or Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) signal from a CE, the PE can only transmit the signal that is detected by the CE device. With the introduction of Framed SAToP, when the PE device receives the LOF or RAI signal, the PE device can detect the alarm for SAToP. Thus, the alarm can be detected earlier in the network. This helps in enhanced performance. T1 or E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17 (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) 7 Framed Structure-Agnostic TDM over Packet (SAToP) Overview of the T1 or E1 Interface Module Note Framing type should be maintained same in all routers end to end. Difference between Framed and Unframed SAToP: 1. For unframed SAToP, the incoming signal is transmitted to the far end. This signal is not analyzed by the PE device. Hence, no alarm is reported. 2. For framed SAToP, the incoming signal is analyzed but is not terminated. If a LOF or RAI signal is detected, the remote PE detects the signals and transmits towards the remote CE.

The interface contains on board BERT circuitry. With this circuitry, the interface software can send and detect a programmable pattern that is compliant with CCITT/ITU O.151, O.152, O.153 pseudo-random, and repetitive test patterns. BERTs allow you to test cables and signal problems in the field. The bit error rate (BER) is determined by comparing the erroneous bits received with the total number of bits received. You can display and analyze the total number of error bits transmitted and the total number of bits received on the link. You can retrieve error statistics anytime during the BERT. Both the total number of bits and the error bits received are available for analysis. You can select the testing period from 1 minute to 24 hours and you can also retrieve the error statistics anytime during the BERT test. Running a BERT Test When running a BERT test, the system expects to receive the same pattern that it transmits. To help ensure this, two common options are available: · Use a loopback somewhere in the link or network · Configure remote testing equipment to transmit the same BERT test pattern at the same time. The BERT runtime engine can be kept running until the interval completes or can be stopped by unconfiguring it anytime. Types of BERT BERT is supported in two directions: · Line - supports BERT in TDM direction T1 or E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17 (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) 25 BERT Restrictions Troubleshooting the T1 or E1 Interface Module · System - supports BERT in PSN direction BERT engines uses different BERT patterns for transmission for each mode. The supported BERT patterns on each card is described. BERT Restrictions · BERT is not supported on the following modes: · T3--Framing M-13, non-channelized · E3--Framing G832, channelized · When the BERT is initiated with pattern 0s and 1s from the local end and the loopback local is applied from the far end, then the BERT syncing does not happen. Since the BERT process is asserted as LOS alarms for all 0s and AIS alarms for all 1s BERT patterns. Whereas the BERT syncing behaves properly when the BERT is initiated from both the local and the far end. For all 1s on T3 or E3, the BERT behaviour is not asserted as AIS and the BERT syncing happens as usual. · In the unframed mode, BERT sync is not stable and may generate alarms until Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4. Note Framing type should be similar in all routers end to end. BERT Restrictions for Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.4.1 release · When the BERT is initiated from the local end and the loopback local is applied from the far end, then BERT syncing does not happen. Since the BERT process is asserted as LOS alarms for all 0s and AIS alarms for all 1s BERT patterns. Whereas the BERT syncing behaves properly when the BERT is initiated from both the local and the far end. BERT for SAToP BERT is supported for both unframed and framed modes. Configuring BERT for SAToP Before You Begin Before you run BERT test, you must configure card type and controller.

Note This feature does not require any change in the patch panel of the interface modules. In card protection, a Y Cable is used to multiplex the signal from the patch panel to both the ports of active and protect interface modules. Both ports receive the signal, but only the active interface module transmits the signal from its port. T1 or E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17 (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) 35 Y Cable Figure 1: Y Cable Card Protection for T1 or E1 To support the Card Protection feature, the configuration on the active and protect interface module must be same. To achieve this, a virtual interface module is created with the same interface module type as the active interface module. A virtual controller is also created, which broadcasts the configuration to both the interface modules. The configuration on the physical controllers is then blocked and you can make configuration changes only on the virtual controller. The user configuration can only be performed on the virtual controller. The virtual controller supports CEM level configuration and all other configurations. These configurations are blocked on physical controllers. Figure 2: Card Protection Topology Note DS3 (T3) channelized into T1 and E3 channelized into E1s are supported in card protection. For more information on configuration, see the Configuring the Controller of Channelized T3/T1 Interfaces section. Y Cable In card protection, a Y cable is used to multiplex the signal from the patch panel to both the ports of active and standby interface modules. Both the active and protect ports receive the signal, but only the active port transmits the signal from its port. Protect port transmitter is disabled. Card Protection Switchover The following table shows the card protection switchover trigger and time to complete the switchover between the working and protect interface module. Trigger Time Interface Module Reload with CLI OIR Less than 50 millisecond T1 or E1 CEM Interface Module Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE 17 (Cisco NCS 4200 Series) 36 Card Protection for T1 or E1 Alarm Based Switchover Trigger Time Non-responsive Interface Module Process (interface 100 millisecond to 200 millisecond module reloads on its own, the reload is initiated due to software error) Interface Module shuts down due to high temperature Less than 50 millisecond Interface Module shuts down using CLI Less than 50 millisecond Interface Module stops using CLI Less than 50 millisecond Card Physical Jackout 100 millisecond to 200 millisecond Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) Failures 250 millisecond to 1 second Alarm Based Switchover Based on Hold Over Time or Soak Time Card Protection Commands 20 millisecond to 30 millisecond Non-responsive Interface Module Process (interface 200 millisecond to 1 second module reloads on its own, the reload is initiated due to software error) Card Physical Jackout 200 millisecond to 1 second Alarm Based Switchover Alarm based switchover is only applicable for Loss Of Signal (LOS) alarm. Switchover happens only when the number of ports with LOS alarm in working interface module is greater than that on the protect interface module. Each card protection group maintains a weight for each working and protect interface module. This weight is updated when the LOS alarms are asserted or cleared. The switchover happens only if the weight of working interface module and protect interface module stays same for a certain amount of time called soak time. When there is any issue with the Patch Panel, both working interface module and protect interface module have the same number of LOS alarms (weights are same). Hence, switchover does not happen. Restrictions · Card physical jack out convergence time for card protection switchover is more than 50 milliseconds. · The time taken to restart the interface module due to any software error is more than 50 milliseconds. · Alarm toggle on active or backup card causes at least one card protection switch. · When BERT is started from the virtual controllers, the syslog displays the physical controllers instead of the virtual controller port.

Configuration Using Different Linecodes at Both Ends (UUT (AMI) and TESTER (B8ZS or HDB3)) · The line codes do not match when one side is configured with AMI and other side is configured with non-AMI codes such as B8ZS or HDB3. Based on the pattern that is inserted, there is change in the behavior. · For 511 QRSS pattern, although the line codes do not match, the controller is UP. The controllers go DOWN for other patterns. · Each pattern is unique and contains a combination of ones and zeros. Only the pattern 511 QRSS is supported. If patterns other than 511 QRSS are used, then LOS is generated, and controller goes to the DOWN state.
