2. 1. 2 Primary rate interface PRI
A primary rate access is a digital network interface for connection to the public network
or the private leased-line network. It can be set for the protocols DSS1 (public ISDN
network) and QSIG / PSS1 (private leased-line network).
A primary rate access has thirty 64 kbit/s user information channels and one 64 kbit/s
control and signalling channel (30B+D). One call or data connection can be set up on
each bearer channel (B channel) simultaneously and independently of the other B
channel.
Notes:
Primary rate accesses can only be used as point-to-point connections.
