1 Product Description This chapter provides an overview of the AI296 16-port high speed multi-protocol line card.
PAGE 18
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Product Description: Features Features The AI296 16-port high speed multi-protocol line card provides 16 physical ports for asynchronous or X.25 connections between NEs and OSSs in a carrier’s network. AI296 includes the following features: Break Propagation AI296 supports break propagation on X.25, asynchronous, or TCP protocols. Refer to Chapter 8: Alias and Call Routing Configuration for details about available types of break handling. BX.25 Compatibility AI296 is BX.
PAGE 19
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Product Description: Features Link-to-Link Call Routing Link-to-link call routing lets users route all SVC calls coming in on one X.25 link to another X.25 link. By using X.25 link-to-link call routing, it is now possible to create a default route for all calls from a specified X.25 link. The alias for the default link-to-link route can route all calls destined for the same link. On previous versions of AI296, users had to create an alias for each unique called address.
PAGE 20
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Product Description: Features System Diagnostics AI296 lets users view diagnostic data on existing connections and internal information about serial links. For more information about viewing system diagnostics, refer to sections: z diag-conn on page 9-27 z diag-eth on page 9-29 z diag-info on page 9-37 z diag-line on page 9-46 z diag-tconn on page 9-49. TID Multiplexing TID multiplexing allows a single call from a legacy X.
PAGE 21
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Product Description: AI296 Hardware Components AI296 Hardware Components AI296 has four high density connectors that provide 16 asynchronous, HDLC-Bridge, PPP, or X.25 ports. Individual ports are derived by using a cable assembly or a distribution panel. Protocol changes to a single port can be made without interrupting communications on the other ports. Each port operates at speeds up to 115 kilobits per second asynchronous or 128 kilobits per second synchronous.

PAGE 88
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide IP Over X.25 Subnet Configuration: Configuration Overview Configuration Overview AI296 supports encapsulation of the IP protocol over X.25 (IXE) networks. The local AI296 wraps IP packets (either control or data packets) inside of X.25 frames and sends them across the X.25 network. The remote AI296 receives the X.25 frames and unwraps the IP packets. To allow IP traffic to run over an X.25 network, the network must be configured to support IP over X.25 encapsulation.

PAGE 188
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide TID Multiplexing: Overview Overview AI296 supports TID multiplexing, which enables a single call from an OSS to fan out into multiple calls to various NEs. The initiating call may be X.25, asynchronous, or TCP, but cannot originate from a destination menu. Refer to Figure 7-1 for an illustration of TID multiplexing. TID1 TID2 Sonet NEs TID1 TID2 TID3 X.
PAGE 189
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide TID Multiplexing: Overview z If a connection is not established after four tries or if AI296 receives a TL1 command with an unknown TID, the TL1 command gets discarded and a message gets logged. z If the OSS is disconnected from AI296, all associated children calls to the NEs are disconnected. Tip: To access the configuration menu on a Soneplex NE device, you must set the Packet Window Size to 1.
PAGE 190
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide TID Multiplexing: TID Multiplexing Configuration TID Multiplexing Configuration Establish TID multiplexing by configuring aliases for calls that will go through AI296. Configure a parent alias to accept the incoming call from the OSS. After doing this, configure children aliases to route calls to the various network elements. For more information about aliases, refer to Chapter 8: Alias and Call Routing Configuration.

PAGE 206
AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Overview Overview AI296 uses aliases to route calls across the backplane of AIswitch. Each incoming call’s routing information must match an entry in the alias table, or else the call is rejected. When AI296 is in switch mode, the alias table is stored on AI198. When AI296 is in standalone mode, the alias table is stored in AI296’s local memory.

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Overview 5. The TCP packet is received by AI296 card B. 6. The data travels upstream through the AEPN protocol option to preserve packetization. 7. The data packet is converted, travels downstream, and is transmitted out AI296 using an X.25 protocol with the original packetizing characteristics preserved.

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Protocol Processing Modules PKT The packetizing module holds data as it arrives until AI296 receives specified characters (such as new lines). Once the packetizing character is received, all of the data that has been held is passed on as a single packet. This module also allows data to be packetized on a timer, which you can set. It also allows you to specify which characters, if any, to be filtered out of the data stream.

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros Alias Macros An alias macro is a program within an alias that translates incoming call requests into outgoing call requests. It is a shortcut that allows a programmer to write many aliases by only writing one macro. Macros allow routing calls with fewer aliases. Using them with alternate routing provides multiple routes for a single alias.

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros Operators Operators are used for calculation of mathematical expressions in alias macros. AI296 evaluates expressions from left to right in order of precedence as shown in Table 8-19. To change the order of precedence, a programmer may enclose a portion of an expression in parentheses ( ) to calculate that portion first. 4+3*2 Specifies an equation that equals 10. (4+3)*2 Specifies an equation that equals 14.

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros Alias Macro Configuration Often there are several ways to write a macro and get the same result. One programmer will likely design macros differently than another. Note: From the Alias Menu, you can input a string with * in it and the search will break apart the string using * as a delimiter. The search checks the alias list for an alias name that contains the components.
