Although Wideband Access Endpoints are used primarily for line-side facilities,
these endpoints can also be administered on network DS1 facilities to connect
Avaya DEFINITY Server to non-switched network services, such as the AT&T
fractional T-1 service. An example of this is the AT&T Static Integrated Network
Access, where a trunk group to AT&T 4Ess Switched Services shares an access
T-1 facility with a Wideband Access Endpoint. In this case, the Wideband Access
Endpoint is connected to the AT&T fractional T-1 service, and it does not
terminate on local endpoint equipment but is connected to a far-end CPE (for
example, another Avaya DEFINITY Server) via the dedicated fractional T-1. All
Wideband Access Endpoint functionality and operation is identical on both
line-side and network facilities. However, because maintenance capabilities are
limited to the Wideband Access Endpoint interface, and because faults can occur
end-to-end, troubleshooting procedures based on an end-to-end view of the
network is required.
Wideband Access Endpoint Port maintenance provides a strategy for maintaining
a Wideband Access Endpoint Port via a port on the Universal DS1 interface circuit
pack hardware. The maintenance strategy involves logging Wideband Access
Endpoint Port hardware errors, running tests for port initialization, periodic and
scheduled maintenance, system technician-demanded tests, and alarm
escalation and resolution. Two different port service states are specified in the
Wideband Access Endpoint Port maintenance. These states include
out-of-service, where the port is in a deactivated state and cannot be used for
calls, and in-service, where the port is in an activated state and can be used for
calls. If the Universal DS1 Interface circuit pack (TN464C) is out-of-service, all
ports on the Universal DS1 Interface circuit pack (TN464C) are placed into the
out-of-service state.
