Understanding E-RDI and Trace Parameters

Path and trace labels help identify particular SONET line. The trace label is a text string carried in a 16-byte or 32-byte message carried in the SONET overhead. The system alters or reserves some of the bytes for synchronization or other purposes.

Using 16-Byte Messages

When using 16-byte messages, consider the following points:

Using 64-Byte Messages
Forming Hex Messages

You use two hexidecimal numbers to represent each ASCII character in a trace message. For example, you represent an ASCII space with the hex pair 20. The following table shows a few additional examples.

Trace Message Hex String

4

34

Hello World

48656c6c6f20576f726c64

For 16-byte msg, the maximum input string size is 32 hex characters. For a64-byte message, you can specify up to 62 characters for a total of 124 hex characters. Refer to the following conversion table to map hex pairs to ASCII characters.

Configuration Tasks for Ports

See the following sections for port configuration tasks.

Understanding Voice Ports

Voice ports use voice over IP or ATM. Voice ports identify the physical location and characteristics of a voice interface at a DS0 level. You add PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) end points to MGX 8260 nodes using a NMS (Network Management System). A MGC manages SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit) end points and connections.

The MGX 8260 Media Gateway identifies a voice port by a logical port number that is independent of the port's physical location. The following parameters describe the physical location:

When you add or change a voice port, you associate a logical port number with these physical descriptors.
