Local Router Networking Mode(VOIP) In this networking mode, all the core network components are configured with routers locally. The core network components are connected to the proximate routers directly through FE/GE (Fast Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet). The core network components are then interconnected through the IP bearer network composed of the routers. Figure 1 shows the networking. Figure 1 Local router networking mode

Remote Router Networking Mode(VOIP) In this networking mode, the E1s/Passive Optical Splitters (POS) of core network components are connected to the SDH transmission network directly. The core network components are connected to the remote routers through the SDH transmission network. The FE/GE interfaces of core network components are connected to the SDH transmission network through Multi-Service Transmission Platform (MSTP), and then connected to the remote routers. The core network components are interconnected through the remote routers. Figure 2 shows the networking. Figure 2 Remote router networking mode

It indicates the office to which the A-interface circuit belongs.

Trunk group name

Equipment type CIC status Uninstall

It indicates the trunk group to which the A-interface circuit belongs.

It indicates that the A-interface equipment type is BSSAP. It indicates the identifier of the A-interface circuit. It indicates that A interface circuits are not configured or A interface data configuration is incomplete. For example, A interface circuits are configured but the circuits are in the unavailable state, or the circuits are configured on dualhoming non-activated nodes. It indicates that A interface circuits are normal or can be used for calls. It indicates A interface circuits are abnormal. The reason is a transmission problem due to abnormal physical connection of E1.

Idle Fault Oam block

It indicates that A interface circuits are abnormal. When you run BLK AIETKC to block the circuits, the circuits in the free state are transferred to the blocked state When circuits are in this state, you cannot make calls through there circuits except circuits specified by an operator. It indicates that circuits on the BSC side are blocked. When circuits are in this state, you cannot make calls through the circuits. It indicates that A interface circuits are normal. When circuits are occupied for calls, the circuits are in this state. It indicates that A interface circuits on the BSC side and local maintenance console are blocked. It indicates that A interface circuits are both in the oam block and the fault state. l This occurs when you block A interface circuits in the fault state on the maintenance console. l This occurs when you block circuits in the free state on the maintenance console but the circuits lead to E1 failure due to circuit gateway failure. It indicates that A interface circuits are both in the peer block and the fault state. It indicates that A interface circuits are both in the oam peer block and the fault state.
