Description

The CelXpres T8207 device integrates all of the required functionality to transport ATM cells across a backplane architecture with high-speed cell traffic exceeding 1.5 Gbits/s to a maximum of 32 destinations. The management of multiple service categories and monitoring of performance on ATM and PHY interfaces is incorporated in the device’s functionality. Traffic delivery to multi-PHYs (MPHYs) is managed through the UTOPIA interface.

The T8207 device meets the ATM Forum’s universal test and operations PHY interface for ATM (UTOPIA) Level 1, Version 2.01 and Level 2, Version 1.0 specifications for cell-level handshake and MPHY data path operation with rates up to 353 Mbits/s. The T8207 supports the required MPHY operation as described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the ATM Forum’s Level 2 specification. The T8207 supports MPHY operation with one transmit cell available

(TxCLAV) signal and one receive cell available (RxCLAV) signal for up to 16 PHY ports for an 8-bit UTOPIA 2 interface configuration. With two transmit cells available/enable (TxCLAV/enb*) pairs of signals and receive cells avail able/enable (RxCLAV/enb*) pairs of signals, 32 MPHYs can be supported. In addition to the required UTOPIA signals, the optional transmit parity (TxPRTY) and receive parity (RxPRTY) signals are provided.
