creates 2 usable subnetworks whose IP addresses are 192.168.1.64 (0100000 = 
64) and 192.168.1.128 (1000000 = 128)
.Serviceability Tools for C-LAN
nThe C-LAN feature of the DEFINITY® system provides TCP/IP connectivity 
over Ethernet or PPP (Point to Point Protocol) to adjuncts such as CMS 
Call Center, Intuity™ AUDIX
® and for DCS connectivity. 
nTCP/IP connectivity over the customers LAN represents a significant 
change from BX.25 protocol employed for connectivity prior to C-LAN.
Commands
nThese commands are accessible through local and remote SAT access.
— Traceroute Command
— Variable Length Ping - Customer option for Packet size (64 or 1.5k 
bytes)
— Packet Error History
— list measurements clan 
Tr a c e  r o u t e
nProvides the ability to trace the route of C-LAN originated packets through 
the LAN. 
nOutput shows the IP address of each router or host (hop) that the packets 
encounter. 
nThe time elapsed between each hop is also displayed. 
nIf C-LAN has trouble communicating with a far-end device, trace route can 
be used to determine how far packets get toward the destination.

nErrors:
nHop - The node number as it is sequentially found
nTime(ms) - The time from the board to each intermediate destination
nIP Address - This field is the 32-bit network address.
Variable length ping
nThe standard ping implementation issues a packet that is 64 bytes in 
length.
n Ethernet frames can be as large as 1500 bytes in length. 
nUsing ping with a packet size of up to 1500 bytes provides a more complete 
indication of the link status.
nThe objective of C-LAN troubleshooting efforts is to quickly and 
unambiguously determine if the fault lies within the Lucent provided 
equipment or if the fault is with the LAN or LAN administration to which the 
DEFINITY
® system is connected.
nProvides an enhancement to the ping command. 
nSpecifying a longer packet to be sent by ping can show if a router or host 
has a problem fragmenting or integrating transferred packets. Tr a c e - r o u t e

Packet Error History
nIn C-LAN Release 7, the capability of checking packet error was provided, 
but was simply displayed on the board counters. 
nNow there is the capability of having a historical view of packet errors.  
Packet error history provides a 24-hour history of important packet level 
statistics that indirectly indicate some LAN performance characteristics. 
nShow the current 15-minute intervals (for the last 24 hours) for CRC errors 
and Collision counts for Ethernet connections. 
nHigh collision counts indicate high traffic on the LAN segment. 
nHigh CRC errors indicate that the LAN connection may be noisy. 
— It could indicate that a wire connection is loose or a wire is frayed or 
broken. 
nChecks are for Invalid Frame errors (error count for invalid frame errors) 
and Chap Failures (the number of failed attempts for PPP authentication) 
for PPP connections.
nIf the data cannot be retrieved for any 15-minute interval, a N/A will be 
returned in that field. These error checks will be provided for Ethernet and 
PPP.
List Measurements - PPP
nThe counter value can be up to 7 digits long because of its 16-bit counter 
on the board. 
nThe delta and the total will be provided for each error count. 
nAfter the occurrence of an N/A, the delta equals the total

Networking - ATM
DEFINITY ATM Networking uses open standards to integrate DEFINITY 
functionality with ATM transmission and switching.  This allows you to use 
DEFINITY ECS applications over an ATM infrastructure throughout an enterprise.  
This convergence of voice and data networking is made possible by an ATM 
Services Card and ATM software that integrate into the DEFINITY ECS.   The 
hardware and software allow the DEFINITY ECS to interoperate with any 
standards-based ATM switch technologies, futher maximizing the value of the 
DEFINITY sytem and your network infrastructure.
The DEFINITY ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) combines por tions of the 
DEFINITY platform with a ATM switch platform that meets specific criteria. 
DEFINITY ATM offers both intraswitch and interswitch ATM solutions. The 
interswitch solution is called ATM circuit emulation service or ATM-CES, and the 
intraswitch solution is called the ATM port network connectivity or ATM-PNC. 
ATM-Port Network Connectivity (ATM-PNC)
ATM Por t Network Connectivity (ATM-PNC) provides an alternative to either the 
direct connect or Center Stage Switch configurations for connecting the Processor 
Por t Network (PPN) to one or more Expansion Port Networks (EPNs). ATM PNC 
replaces the Center Stage Switch in a DEFINITY R8r network with an 
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch. ATM PNC is available with all three 
DEFINITY ECS reliability options — standard, high, and critical.
ATM PNC integrates delivery of voice, video, and data via ATM over a common 
large bandwidth LAN, providing reduced infrastructure cost and improved network 
manageability. ATM PNC uses standards-based open interfaces that can be 
provisioned with either new or existing DEFINITY ECS systems and is ATM-ready 
for future expansion.
ATM-Circuit Emulation Service (ATM-CES)
ATM-CES (Circuit-Emulation Service) lets the DEFINITY ECS emulate an ISDN-
PRI trunk on an ATM facility. These virtual trunks can serve as integrated access, 
tandem, or tie trunks. ATM-CES trunk emulation maximizes port network 
capacities by consolidating trunking. For example, the CES interface can define 
up to ten virtual circuits for tie-line connectivity, consolidating onto one circuit card 
network connectivity that usually requires multiple circuit packs.
ATM Wide Area Network PNC (ATM WAN-PNC)
ATM Wide Area Network (ATM WAN) extends the Por t Network Connectivity 
(PNC) beyond a single ATM switch. This allows you to utilize either a private ATM 
network, public WAN, or a combination of both. Several networked ATM devices 
can be used as effectively as a single ATM switch for inter-port network 
connectivity. ATM WAN is supported by the Multiple Location feature, where por t

network cabinets can be administered as separate locations; however, it is not

Administering ATM-CES amd ATM-PNC
Acquiring ATM Addresses 
Equipment that interfaces with an ATM switch must have a unique 40-digit (20-
byte) ATM address. These 40 characters are divided into sectors as Ta b l e  1
 
shows:
In Release 7 or later, the address of the EPN is automatically derived by the local 
ATM switch using the address registration procedure defined in the Integrated 
Local Management Interface (ILMI ). The ATM switch uses its 13-byte network 
address plus the 6-byte ESI, or MAC address, and the 1-byte selector byte of the 
corresponding TN2305 or TN2306 board(s) in the EPN to formulate the 20-byte 
ATM address(es). 
ATM switches can use any of the address formats listed in Ta b l e  2
. 
NOTE:
The beginning AFI and the last 2 sectors (ESI, and Selector) in Ta b l e  2 are 
all the same length, making it easier to parse the ATM address, regardless 
of the format.
