ISDN-SGR (ISDN-PRI Signaling
Group)
An ISDN-PRI Signaling Group is a collection of B channels for which a given
ISDN-PRI Signaling Channel Port (D channel) carries signaling information.
B channels carry voice or data and can be assigned to DS1 ISDN trunks
(ISDN-TRK) or PRI endpoint ports (PE-BCHL).
NOTE:
Throughout this discussion, the term “B channel” refers to an ISDN-TRK or
PE-BCHL, depending on the application under investigation.
The following circuit packs are supported in the implementation of ISDN-PRI.
The TN464C/D UDS1 Interface circuit pack that has a direct interface to the
packet bus, is required for D-channel signaling. There are two types of DS1
interfaces:
■ 24 DS0 channels on a 1.544-Mbps link
■ 31 DS0 channels + 1 framing channel on a 2.048-Mbps link
The following discussion describes 24-channel interface signaling groups. The
32-channel interface works the same way, except that only port number 16 is
used for signaling instead of port number 24. Ports 1 through 15 and 17 through
31 are used for B channels. The 32
nd
channel (port 0) is always used for framing.
ISDN-PRI D-channel signaling can be combined with a group of B channels in
three basic ways:
■ FAS (facility-associated signaling)
■ NFAS (nonfacility-associated signaling)
■ Backup NFAS signaling
