Circuit Emulation Service (CES) makes it possible to access traditional TDM equipment and run time-
dependent traffic over an ATM network. Virtual circuits emulate circuit switched traffic such as E1
and T1 connections and give a transparent end-user interface.
!
Unstructured CES
(“clear channel”) maps the whole bandwidth (2048 Kbps in the E1 case)
over a point-to-point connection with one type of traffic. All of the E1’s 32 timeslots are
carried over the network, to the same destination.
!
Structured CES
(“channelized”) can limit the amount of deployed bandwidth at nx64 Kbps
by only using certain time-slots. It also provide means to run point-to-multipoint connections,
often denoted as
m x n x 64 Kbps
, with different types of traffic to different destinations.
The ADD command prefix is used to add a new CES ATM individual for new connections. The SET
command prefix is used for setting the record’s parameter values. The VCNAME value is used for
mapping to ATM VCC individuals in the lower ATM layer while the NAME value is used for
mapping to upper-layer objects. The SAVE command is used to commit new parameter values to non-
volatile memory.
For detailed information about prefixes and parameters for the CES ATM command, see section 6.2.1.

Typical CES over ATM Examples
The following examples show how to configure CES for ATM (the default parameter values are
underlined):
1. Add an ATM VCC profile:
HL950> add interface atm vcc:name=name,
type=<aal1|aal2|aal5>, vcc=<vpi|vci>,
srvtype=<cbr|ubr|vbrrt|vbrnrt>;
HL950> save
(to store the ATM VCC profile)
2. Show all ATM VCC profiles:
HL950> show interface atm vcc
3. Add a CES ATM session:
HL950> add ces atm:name=<name>, vcname=<atm vcc name>,
speed=<e1|t1|n (where n=2-32)>,
clock=<network|adaptive|external|internal>, jb=<10>;
HL950> save
(to store the session)
4. Show all CES ATM sessions:
HL950> show ces atm
5. Start the CES ATM session:
HL950> start ces atm:name=<name>;
HL950> save
(to store the auto-start configuration for ATM)
6. Show CES ATM statistics/status:
HL950> show ces atm:name=<name>, stats=yes;
