FastPAD
Setting Up Switched
Voice Connections
Voice Traffic table
Connect the FastPADs:
• Quantity field: Set the number of connections between a pair of FastPADs
to the estimated peak number of simultaneous calls between the two
destinations.
• Type field: Enter Session.
• BC (Back Card) field: Select valid FTC back card (V, X, T1, or E1).
• Fdr BC (Feeder Back Card) field: Leave blank.
Create dummy FastPAD connections:
• Site 1, Site 2 fields. Connect a site entered above to itself, e.g., Boston,
Boston
• Hub ID fields. Optional. Hub 1 ID and Hub 2 ID can be used to specify the
slot port of each end of the connection. Connect a site entered above to
itself, e.g., 8.1, 8.1. This connection is intersect, intracard, and interport.
• Quantity field: The number of dummy connections should equal one half
the peak number of simultaneous calls expected between the FastPAD and
all other switched voice destinations.
• Type field: Enter the voice traffic speed type.
• Fdr BC (Feeder Back Card) field: Enter V for the VFC-03 card.
To add FastPAD switched voice
connections, i.e., voice connections
between at least one voice card on a
FastPAD connected to at least one
voice card on many FastPADs, you
must perform a two-step process:
connect the FastPADs and add
dummy FastPAD connections.
Setting Up Multiple
FastPADs at the
Same Site
Data Traffic table, Voice Traffic table, Bursty Traffic table
• Hub ID field: The ID is given to the port of the FTC/FTM card on the
IPX/IGX switch that connects to the specific FastPAD. ID values can be
— Port only: 0
— Slot and port: mm.nn
Where mm = 1 to 32 and nn = 1 to 31
For connections between multiple
FastPADs at a site or to associate
specific connections with specific
FastPADs, use the Hub ID field for all
FastPAD connections that originate or
terminate at that site.
All connections associated with one
specific FastPAD should have the
same Hub ID throughout the three
traffic tables.

Parameters
Feeders table
• Hub ID field: Enter Slot.Port (e.g., 6.4).
• Type field: Enter FP-4 for a FastPAD Micro, FP-8 for a regular FastPAD, or
FP to have the NMT determine which one to use.
• Speed field: Enter the speed you want.
Data Traffic table, Voice Traffic table, Bursty Traffic table
• Hub1 ID field: Enter the Hub ID value entered in the Feeders table (e.g.,
6.4).
• Hub 2 ID field: Enter the Hub ID for the appropriate site.
You can specify a FastPAD or
FastPAD micro unit and can specify
the maximum speed of the composite
link, i.e., 64 kbps, 128, kbps, or
256 kbps. If you specify FP (a generic
FastPAD), NMT chooses the best one.
If you specify 0 as the speed, NMT
picks the best one.
