Channel Numbering
The ETSI and ISO QSIG specifications require that B-channels on an E1 be
encoded as 1-30 in the Channel ID IE. Prior to this field, Avaya MultiVantage
only used this scheme for Country Protocols 2a (Australia) and 13a (Germany
1TR6). This field appears when the Signaling Mode field is
isdn-pri, the Bit Rate
field is
2.048, the Connect field is pbx, and the Interface field is peer-master or
peer-slave.
Connect
In order to control communications at layers 2 and 3 of the ISDN-PRI protocol,
use this field to specify what is on the far end of this DS1 link. This field only
appears when the Signaling Mode field is
isdn-pri.
Country Protocol
The entry in this field must match the country protocol used by the far-end switch.
For connections to a public network, your network service provider can tell you
which country protocol they are using.
Valid entries Usage
timeslot
sequential
If the Avaya MultiVantage is connected via QSIG trunks to a
switch supporting the ETSI QSIG or ISO QSIG
specifications, this field must be
sequential.
When the Signaling Mode field is
isdn-pri and the Bit Rate
field is
2.048, but the Channel Numbering field does not
display because of the setting of other fields, it is set
internally to
sequential for 2a (Australia) and 13a
(Germany).
Valid entries Usage
pbx
Enter pbx if this DS1 link is connected to another switch in a
private network. If
pbx is entered, the Interface field appears.
line-side
Enter line-side when the switch is acting as the network side
of an ISDN-PRI interface. Use
line-side to connect to Roll
About Video equipment.
network Enter network when the DS1 link connects this switch to a
central office or any other public network switch.
host
Enter host when the DS1 link connects this switch to a
computer.
