Circuit Emulation Over IP Network Modules
Circuit Emulation Over IP Network Modules
The Circuit Emulation over IP (CEoIP) network modules (product numbers NM-CEM-4TE1 and NM-CEM-4SER) for the Cisco 2600XM, 2691,
2811, 2821, 2851, 3660, 3700 and 3800 routers provide a new CEoIP service offering. These network modules provide bit-transparent data transport
that is completely protocol-independent.
For the first time, this allows network administrators to take advantage of their existing IP network to provide leased-line emulation services, or to
carry data streams or protocols that do not meet the format requirements of other multiservice platform interfaces.
APPLICATIONS
These two new network modules are the first Cisco router interfaces designed to meet the emerging standards for CEoIP.
All previous Cisco router interfaces require that data be presented in the form of:
Native IP frames
Frame Relay frames
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames
ATM cells
Channelized pulse-code-modulation (PCM) voice
Asynchronous (start/stop) data
These new network modules do not assume that data has any predefined format or structure. They simply regard the data as an arbitrary bit stream.
All data bits are simply transported to a defined destination encapsulated in IP packets.

This transparency, for the first time, allows an IP network to carry the variety of data applications and protocols that do not meet the requirements of
other router interfaces. Such applications, shown in Figure 3, might include:
Pre-encrypted data for government, defense, or other high-security applications
Proprietary synchronous or asynchronous data protocols used in transportation, utilities, and other industries
Leased-line emulation service offerings in metropolitan (metro) ethernet or wide-area network service provider environments

FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Emerging standards-based CEoIP based on Vainshtein draft with enhancements
Configurable using Cisco IOS software
One way to accomplish this is to externally synchronize both end devices with a common clock source, as shown in Figure 4.
An alternative is to use an adaptive clock at the slave end of the circuit, as shown if Figure 5.
Figure 5. Synchronization With Adaptive Clock
The adaptive clock is a locally synthesized clock frequency that is tuned to match the master clock (applied to either the source CPE or the source
router). These network modules provide the option to generate an adaptive clock based on the average amount of data in the egress de-jitter buffer of
the data stream.
FEATURES OF THE NM-CEM-4TE1
The same hardware supports either four T1 ports or four E1 ports.
Unframed vs. Framed Mode
Each T1/E1 port can be independently configured to operate either in unframed or framed mode.
In unframed mode, a T1 or E1 port encapsulates the entire T1 stream (1544000 bits/second) or E1 stream (2048000 bits/second) for transport across
the IP network.
In framed mode, a T1/E1 port supports both unchannelized and channelized operation. In unchannelized operation, a T1 or E1 port encapsulates the
entire T1 payload (1536000 bits/second) or E1 payload (1984000 bits/second) for transport across the IP network. In channelized operation, a T1 or
E1 port may be configured with up to N separate data streams (N = 24 for a T1 port and N = 31 for an E1 port). Each data stream may include any
combination of time slots, either contiguous or not. Of course, each time slot may be included in only one data stream.
T1/E1 Clock Sources Supported
On a T1/E1 port, each device must provide the clock used to send data bits to the other device. Depending on the clock configuration of the
attached CPE, the T1/E1 port supports any of three clock modes.
If internal clock is specified, the internal oscillator of the router or the network module is used to derive the clock used to send data to the
attached CPE.
If line clock is specified, the port phase-locks to the clock provided by the CPE and uses that clock to send data to the attached CPE.
If adaptive clock is specified, the network module provides a clock that is locally synthesized, based on the level of data bits in the egress de-jitter
buffer of one of the data streams terminating on the port, to match the clock used at the source data port.
Channel Associated Signaling
If the network module is used to transport N x 64 kbps data streams that carry voice with CAS, the signaling transport feature may be enabled to
ensure proper signaling bit extraction, transport, and insertion across the IP network.

If adaptive clock is specified, the network module provides a clock that is locally synthesized, based on the level of data bits in the egress de-jitter
buffer, to match the clock used at the source data port.
Control Signal Support
The network module provides the option to monitor, transport, and deliver changes in the serial port control signals across the network.
Depending on the cable plugged into the smart serial connector, the port may support either the basic set of serial control signals or the
extended set of serial control signals.
The basic set of control signals supported follows:
Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
Data Set Ready (DSR)
Request to Send (RTS)
Clear to Send (CTS)
Data Carrier Detect (DCD)
Local Loop (LL)
The extended set of control signals supported follows:
Remote Loop (RL)
Test Mode (TM)
Ring Indicator (RI)
Note: The set of control signals supported on each port, and the standards-based name for each signal, depends on the interface type. Each
control signal listed may not be supported on every interface type. Also, the control signal names shown are simply the most commonly used names,
familiar to most users.

Bandwidth Preservation
The network module has the intelligence to detect the failure of the attached CPE and to stop building and sending packets across the IP network
when that occurs.
This feature works by detecting that an input clock is missing (assuming the CPE is supposed to provide such a clock) or, optionally, by monitoring
the state of any specified serial control signal (known as a data strobe). If the clock or the specified control signal becomes inactive, no packets are
built until the clock and control signal return to their normal states.
When data packets are not received at the destination port (because of a missing ingress clock, de-activation of the data strobe, or drops in the IP
network), the vacant data bit times are replaced with a user-configurable idle pattern.
