Network interface and ATM operation
4.4.1 Line rate Line rate for ADSL and SHDSL technology is defined upon service subscription and determined by the public exchange modem configuration (DSLAM) when establishing the connection. During start-up StarVoice negotiates the maximum permitted rate with the public exchange modem.
4.4.2 ADSL interface The ADSL network interface complies with the ITU-T G.992.1 (g.dmt) standard. The maximum transmission rate is 832 Kbps and the maximum reception rate is 8192 Kbps.

Pag. 18

4.4.3 SHDSL interface The SHDSL network interface complies with the ETSI TS standard. StarVoice supports line rates from 192 to 2304 Kbps (3 to 36 DS0 channels). The management (OAM) functions over EOC channels described in TS are available; in particular, the discovery, inventory, configuration, loopback, status interrogation and power back-off functions are implemented. StarVoice supports management of the characteristics associated with ATM transportation by means of the ATM Status Cell Request and Response Interrogation Procedures.
4.4.4 ATM Quality of Service (QoS) The ATM QoS applicable to BLES are Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate-real time (VBR-rt), which guarantee suitable delay limit of ATM cell transfer. VBR-rt optimized the band used in case of non-deterministic traffic, such as voice packet voice, where the band used depends on the number of active channels, coding law and current voice activity. As regards data traffic, the UBR, UBR+ and VBR-nrt QoS are supported.

4.5.3 Audio coding - Profiles ATMF-145000 defines different audio coding profiles. Every profile contains one or more entries and every entry indicates a specific coding law in addition to voice packet length. StarVoice can be configured with one of the following profiles for every VCC assigned to voice transportation:

4.5.4 Signaling associated with supplementary services In the Loop Emulation Service structure the public exchange connected to the VAG provides in-band tones (dialing, free line, congestion, busy) and FSK signaling for CLIP, CLIP upon Call Wait, CNIP and MWI services. StarVoice is completely transparent to the aforementioned signaling.

Data interfaces

StarVoice delivers one Ethernet 10BaseT (LAN0) standard interface and optionally one 10/100 BaseT (LAN1) additional interface.
4.6.1 Transportation protocols Every ATM VCC used for data transportation can be configured with one of the following protocols: MAC Bridging RFC 1483; IP routing RFC 1483; PPP over ATM RFC 2364; PPP over Ethernet RFC 2516.

Pag. 21

If PPP (RFC2364 or RFC2516) is used, StarVoice manages the authentication procedure for local hosts. If PPPoE is used, StarVoice implements the discovery procedure and encapsulates PPP datagrams in PPP in Ethernet-type frames, such as PDU RFC1483 bridged MAC. 4.6.2 LLC SNAP Encapsulation StarVoice can be configured to have a different LLC SNAP encapsulation for every PVC. LLC SNAP encapsulation is needed when operating with MAC bridging, that is to say when the Spanning Tree algorithm is enabled on the same PVC or when operating with bridging and routing mode at the same time. 4.6.3 MAC Bridging StarVoice can be configured to operate as bridge at MAC level. Up to 4 logic bridges (bridge groups) between LAN or WAN (ATM VCCs) interfaces can be configured. The Spanning Tree algorithm can be programmed for every bridge group. 4.6.4 IP Routing StarVoice operates as IP router. Part of the routing table is statically defined during configuration. If enabled, StarVoice also uses RIP (v1, v1compatible, v2,) to exchange routing information with contiguous routers and updated routing tables. One RIP mode can be defined for every ATM PVC, including passive RIP function. This mode is used by StarVoice to learn and use messages from contiguous routers without sending routing table information. One of the ATM PVCs can be configured as default gateway: packets that cannot be routed are sent to this PVC. Normally, the default gateway is used to connect StarVoice with the Internet Service Provider. 4.6.5 Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) StarVoice supports NAT (Network Address Translation) and PAT (Port address Translation) advanced functionalities that allow for using private IP addresses (assigned freely) on the local network and a public IP address typically supplied by the ISP on the WAN ports. This solution allows for using multiple PCs in the LAN at the same time to access external resources (for example Internet) while having subscribed a single contract with the ISP. 4.6.6 Firewall functionality (Access Lists) StarVoice provides a powerful, flexible mechanism to protect the internal network from intrusions and attacks and manage access rights of individual hosts to external services. For example, you can decide which hosts can use e-mail, navigate on the Internet or access StarVoice programming.

Pag. 22

The mechanism is based on the formulation of rules used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. The rules are contained in one or more lists, defined as Access Lists. Every Access List is made up of a variable number of command lines (entries) that are given based on the insertion order. The last entry, which is always present, although not visible, (in advanced mode) is of deny any type: it only directs the contents of permit entries and rejects the rest. Every Access List can be assigned to one or more interfaces (LAN0, WAN1, , WAN8). Multiple Access Lists can be associated with each interface. By assigning an Access List to the interface, every incoming packet from the interface is checked based on the list rules. Each rule contains a permission (permit) or negation (deny) clause. Three situations are possible: the packet meets the conditions of the rule and the rule is deny rule: the packet is discarded immediately; the packet meets the conditions of the rule and the rule is a permit rule: the packet is sent to the routing function that routes the packet to the destination interface, without additional checks; the packet does not meet the conditions of the rule: the packet is subjected to the next rule in the Access List.
If the packet does not meet any rule in the list, the packet is discarded. 4.6.7 Multicast traffic StarVoice can process incoming multicast traffic to the interface (if enabled to multicast) and replicate it over all interfaces enabled to multicast (except for the interface that originates traffic).
4.6.8 DHCP and DNS services These services are used to make LAN configuration easier and faster. If the DHCP service is enabled, LAN hosts can be configured with the TCP/IP information supplied by StarVoice (IP address and host name, IP address of DSN and WINS servers, default gateway). Hosts can use StarVoice as DNS server. StarVoice resolves local host names directly and, when it cannot do it, sends requests to the external DNS server, tracing DNS records on internal cache memory.

4.7.1 Local management StarVoice provides one V.24/RS-232 serial interface to connect an asynchronous terminal or PC. Local configuration and diagnostics are delivered to the interface with textual commands (Command Line Interface, CLI). The CLI is used to: configure the device; access commands and diagnostics functions; monitor internal events; read logs generated by the device; upgrade the firmware.

StarVoice manages an internal file system to save configuration and event traces. Information can be accessed via CLI.
4.7.2 Remote management StarVoice provides remote configuration using a dedicated ATM VC. The traffic generated on the VC is interpreted as IP traffic encapsulated according to RFC1483. This provides access to: CLI functions with Telnet session; internal SNMP Agent to interact with implemented MIB; internal WEB server; TFTP Client for firmware upgrade.
For remote management you must assign IP address and subnetwork to the device.

Configuration

General information

After you have made the connections illustrated in 3.3, choose the configuration mode from the ones illustrated below. To configure StarVoice, If no PC with LAN board is available, you can use the Console port and StarManager (software included in the installation CD), as illustrated in 6; If a PC with LAN board is available, you can connect it to StarVoice LAN port and carry out the WEB browser configuration, as illustrated 5.1.3. Less expert users can use Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration through serial connection and terminal emulation software3 or Telnet session, as illustrated in ATOS Users Manual. If you connect StarVoice to an existing LAN you probably have to change the address assigned by default to StarVoice (10.0.0.1) to make it compatible with subnet addresses used in the LAN. In this case, after the initial configuration, continue as illustrated in 5.3 and connect the device to the LAN. The initial configuration for analogue and ISDN lines is normally suitable for operation. For special configurations refer to ATOS Users Manual. Following are some examples of minimum configuration for data operation. The complete list of configurations is shown in ATOS Users Manual contained in the installation CD supplied with StarVoice.
5.1.1 Connection to Internet For quick connection to Internet with StarVoice, get the following information from your Internet Service Provider and follow the instruction below. The following information is needed: VCI and VPI value; Encapsulation type used by ISP: PPPoA (PPP over ATM), PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or RFC1483 (IP over ATM); User name and password (in case of PPP encapsulation).
such as Windows HyperTerminal
