ISDN-PLK (ISDN-PRI Signaling Link
Port)
NOTE:
Use this Maintenance Object (ISDN-PLK) for maintenance tests, alarms,
and hardware errors when the “ISDN-PRI over PACCON” option on the
system-parameters customer form is set to a “y” When the ISDN PRI over
PACCON is set to “n” use Maintenance Object ISDN-LNK.
The ISDN-PRI over PACCON option allows the PRI Links to be carried over the
PACCON (Packet Controller TN778 circuit board), increasing the system
ISDN-PRI capacity to the possible number of D-channels. An ISDN-PRI Signaling
Link is known as a D-channel. The D-channel is used to transmit call-control
signaling for the B-channels. B-channels (User information channels) are known
as bearer channels (B-channels for example, transmit digitized voice, digital data);
DS1 ISDN Trunks are B-channels and they carry the user traffic. PRI endpoint
ports are also B-channels that can carry Wideband traffic. The call control
signaling for the B-channels is combined and carried over the separate ISDN-PRI
Signaling Link Port D-channel.
The ISDN-PRI Signaling Link Port is the port on a TN464C or later UDS1 Interface
circuit pack that carries D-channel messages to the processor. The ISDN-PRI
interface uses out-of-band signaling as opposed to robbed-bit, in-band signaling.
For G3s, and G3i, this port can be used as an interface to the TDM bus or to the
Packet bus. This is controlled by the “ISDN-PRI over PACCON” option. When the
option is set to “y” the ISDN-PRI D-channel messages are transmitted over the
Packet bus to the Packet Control circuit pack. The associated maintenance object
name of the UDS1 port used to carry the D-channel over the Packet Bus is
ISDN-PLK.
The B-channels associated with a ISDN-PRI D-channel can use ports on the
same circuit pack or ports on other TN464C or later or TN767 DS1 Interface
circuit packs (the TN722 cannot be used for this application).
