TBRI-BD (TN2185
ISDN Trunk-Side BRI)
The TN2185 circuit pack contains eight, 4-wire ports that interface to the network
at the ISDN S/T reference point over two 64-kbps channels (B1 and B2) and over
a 16-kbps signaling (D) channel. The B1 and B2 channels can be simultaneously
circuit-switched or individually packet-switched. Only one channel per trunk can
be packet-switched due to PPE (Packet Processing Element) limitations. The
D channel is either circuit-switched or packet-switched. Packet switching uses
the PPE to combine every D channel into a single physical channel, which is then
routed via the concentration highway to the NCE (Network Control Element) and
then to the TDM bus. The circuit-switched connections have a Mu-law or A-law
option for voice and operate as 64-kbps clear data channels. The
packet-switched channels support the LAPD protocol and conform with the CCITT
Q.920 Recommendations for D-channel signaling.
LEDs
The three LEDs on the circuit pack’s faceplate indicate board status. When
illuminated, the red LED indicates a board failure or a major or minor on-board
alarm, the green LED indicates that testing is in progress, and the amber LED
indicates that the board is in use.
