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 68 on page 728
.

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.
