H.110 channel configuration
The Model 6081RC card routes/bridges data from H.110 and Ethernet ports. There are a total of 32 H.110
ports available in the H.110 bus. Each H.110 port can handle up to 128 64-kbps timeslots.
In the 6081RC context, the H.110 ports act as WAN ports connecting to remote and local devices. For
instance, defined H.110 ports on the 6081RC will connect at the physical level to other function cards in the
same chassis such as the 3096RC, 3196RC, 6511RC, 3125RC, or another 6081RC.
When connecting to a Patton Model 3096RC, the 6081RC will most likely be terminating bridged or routed
PPP sessions originated at G.SHDSL customer premise equipment such as Patton’s models 3201 or 3086, or
PPP/G.SHDSL-compliant third-party CPEs.
Traffic is directed to and from the H.110 bus by any ForeFront function card in unidirectional nx64 kbps
timeslots, so in order to have a full duplex link across the H.110 bus, two streams have to be defined for the
same H.110 channel. The PPP configuration pages define H.110 connections as channels. There could be
multiple channels defined within an H.110 port, a PPP session is attached to each channel.
Defining H.110 channels
Do the following:
1. Click on the H.110 link in the Configuration Menu pane (see
figure 17
on page 37) to display the H.110
Channel Configuration page (see
figure 41
).
Figure 41. H110 Channel Configuration page
2. Type a short definition of the channel in the Description text box (see
figure 41
)—this name will be associ-
ated to a PPP channel defined in subsequent steps. In this example, Location1 is used for the channel
description.
