Speed Touch 591s Technical Practices February 2001 90-8785-01 8-5 8 -- Configuring the V. 35/X. 21 CE user port Table 8-2 lists the circuit parameters that can be configured on the Speed Touch 591s user port. Table 8-2 Circuit parameters Parameter AAL service type Playout buffer size User data octets per cell Pad octet pattern Options UDT, SDT_w/BASIC 1 to 12 ms, in increments of 0. 5 ms 3 to 46, ALL 00 to FF Default value UDT 6 ms ALL FF Service types The V. 35/X. 21 circuit emulation version of the Speed Touch 591s supports two data transfer modes--unstructured data transfer mode and basic structured data transfer mode (AAL1). Procedure 8-8 Configuring the AAL service type CONFIG -- OBJECT -- PORT -- <U> -- CIRCUIT -- AAL_SERVICE -- UDT or SDT_BASIC Playout buffer size The playout buffer for data flowing from the network port to the user port can be configured to compensate for the effects of positive and negative cell delay variation. Cell delay variation is a measurement of the difference in cell propagation delay occurring on a connection. The playout buffer depth is set to absorb the negative CDV characteristics of the network (the increased time between the arrival of consecutive cells, or cell spacing) by ensuring that the buffer has sufficient data so that the data stream does not run dry between cell arrivals. Conversely, the playout buffer must also absorb the positive CDV characteristics of the Speed Touch 591s and network (cells being received with a very short delay between them, or cell clumping) by providing sufficient cell storage space in the buffer to avoid overflow under clumping conditions. Buffered data is sent on the V. 35 serial stream at a constant rate, which is independent of the rate at which the cells are received. The setting for CDVT determines how much CDV can be tolerated before the Speed Touch 591s is forced to insert erroneous (fixed-pattern) data. A high CDVT setting allows the AAL1 VC to tolerate a higher CDV without errors, but at the expense of a higher transfer delay through the Speed Touch 591s. The CDVT cannot be configured and is set by default to half the playout buffer size. 8-6 Speed Touch 591s Technical Practices 90-8785-01 February 2001 8 -- Configuring the V. 35/X. 21 CE user port Procedure 8-9 Configuring the playout buffer size CONFIG -- OBJECT -- PORT -- <U> -- CIRCUIT -- PLAYOUT_BUF -- <value> where value is a value between 1 and 12 ms, in increments of 0. 5 ms Partial cell filling Partial cell filling minimizes cell assembly delay by only partially filling the cells with user data and filling the remaining space with padding octets. This speeds up cell assembly because the Speed Touch 591s does not have to wait for an entire cell of data to be received before sending the cell. Partial cell filling is configured using two parameters--the number of data octets per cell (which determines how much a cell is filled before being sent) and the padding octet pattern (which determines the format of the padding octets that are used to fill the rest of the cell). If the first parameter is configured as ALL, no padding octets are inserted into the cells.
