Warranty Warnings
!CAUTION:
Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your
warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized
by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such
equipment.
!CAUTION:
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not force-
fully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in
the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.
Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing
the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and
allows the PSAX system to reinitialize and display the accurate configu-
ration of the module that is inserted.
!CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules
installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to
any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis
with removable modules installed will void your warranty. Only Lucent-
authorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module
installed.
Safety Warnings and Information
When installing and operating the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module, fol-
low the safety guidelines provided in the printed PacketStar®PSAX Safety
Guidelines, which accompanies this product, to help prevent serious personal
injury and damage to the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module. Please read all
warnings and instructions supplied before beginning installation or configu-
ration of this module. In addition to the general safety information provided,

Chapter 1 Getting Started
About the PacketStar PSAX Product Family
The PacketStar PSAX 1000 Multiservice Media Gateway is designed to provide
a full range of central office-based multiservice media gateway functions in a
small, competitively-priced package suitable for customer premise deploy-
ment. Ideal for central office, large enterprise, or wireless cell site multiser-
vice media gateway applications, the PSAX 1000 system provides highly reli-
able network access for time-division multiplex voice, Frame Relay,
10/100Base-T Ethernet, and ATM data applications.
When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experi-
enced a single-point failure, the PSAX 1000 system provides up to 630 Mbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 630 Mbps.
Supporting four slots (19–inch chassis) for I/O and server modules—with a
full range of interfaces such as DS0A, DS1/E1, DS3/E3, OC-3, OC-3c/STM-1,
OC-12c/STM-4c, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and serial—the PSAX 1000 system
is a cost-effective access switch solution for connecting to legacy equipment.
PSAX 1250 Multiservice Media Gateway
The PacketStar PSAX 1250 Multiservice Media Gateway is designed to provide
a full range of central office-based multiservice ATM access functions. Ideal
for the central office or a large enterprise’s multiservice media gateway, the
PSAX 1250 system provides highly reliable network access for time-division
multiplex voice, frame relay, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and ATM data applica-
tions.
When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experi-
enced a single-point failure, the PSAX 1250 system provides up to 600 Mbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 600 Mbps.
Supporting 10 slots (19-inch chassis) or 14 slots (23-inch chassis) for I/O and
server modules—with a full range of interfaces such as DS0A, DS1/E1,
DS3/E3, OC-3, OC-3c/STM-1, OC-12c/STM-4c, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and
serial—the PSAX 1250 system is a cost-effective access switch solution for
interworking with legacy equipment.
PSAX 2300 Multiservice Media Gateway
The PacketStar PSAX 2300 Multiservice Media Gateway offers carrier-grade,
high-density multiservice ATM access functions. Designed as the multiservice
media gateway for the central office or for a large enterprise customer, the

When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experi-
enced a single-point failure, the PSAX 2300 system provides up to 1.9 Gbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 1.9 Gbps.
Supporting 15 slots for I/O and server modules—with provisions for OC-3,
OC-3c/STM-1, and OC-12c/STM-4c interfaces, N x T1/E1 module protection
switching, and a full range of interfaces such as DS0A, DS1/E1, DS3/E3,
10/100Base-T Ethernet, and serial—the PSAX 2300 system solves demand-
ing and diverse network design challenges with ease.
PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway
The PacketStar PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway provides carrier-class
reliability, with an unmatched range of service capabilities, end-to-end traffic
prioritization, “any-service, any-channel”flexibility, and breakthrough voice
technology. Ideal for the central office or a large enterprise multiservice
media gateway, the PSAX 4500 system provides highly reliable network
access for time-division multiplex voice, frame relay, 10/100Base-T Ethernet,
and ATM data applications.
When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experi-
enced a single-point failure, the PSAX 4500 system provides up to 4.2 Gbps
of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may
also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths
beyond 4.2 Gbps.
The high-performance midplane design supports 15 interface slots. Module
protection for two groups of four or six multiport DS3, STS-1e, or E3 mod-
ules is provided via an N:1 protection scheme using rear access line interface
modules. The protection module provides backup so that on the failure of
any one of the modules in a group, traffic is maintained. A single PSAX 4500
system at the edge of the carrier network can transition traffic from a large
number of network customers over high-speed DS1/E1 IMA, DS3/E3, OC-3,
OC-3c/STM-4c, and OC-12c/STM-4c trunks into the ATM core, managing
the whole quickly and efficiently, down to the individual permanent virtual
circuit.
Through the use of the latest DSP voice technology, the PSAX 4500 system
supports advanced voice traffic over ATM (VToA) services for up to 6048 DS0
channels. As a multiservice media gateway—with H.248 call control, CAS,
PRI, GR-303, and V5.2 protocols, 3-Port DS3/STS-1e, 1-Port OC-3/STM-1
CES, and Tones and Announcements modules—the PSAX 4500 system pro-
vides packet solutions for voice over xDSL, trunking, tandem, and PRI offload
switching.
