2.2 Frame Configuration for 24 DTI
According to the AT&T Specifications for 24-channel transmission, there are two
frame configurations: 12 Multiframe (D4) and 24 Multiframe (ESF).
12 Multi-Frame (D4)
This frame has 12 Multiframes, and each Multiframe has a 24-channel PCM
signal (8 bits/channel) and an S (Superframe) bit. Figure 1-4 Frame Configuration
of 24-DTI (12 Multiframe) shows the frame configuration, and Figure 1-5 Frame
Configuration of 24-DTI (24 Multiframe) shows the frame bit assignment.
