FACILITY DESCRIPTION

OPERATION
Two types of bus configurations for different
requirements are possible for the S-interface:
• point-to-multipoint - short passive bus
• point-to-multipoint - extended passive bus
Point-to-multipoint is a user access supporting more
than one logical data link ( usually one per ISDN
terminal ) by a single network termination.
The difference between a short passive bus and an
extended passive bus is on the one hand the line
length and on the other hand the location of the TEs
on the bus.

The following bearer services are supported at the
S-Interface:
Definition of "bearer":
A bearer is a type of telecommunication
service that provides the capability for the
transmission of signals between two
ISDN interfaces.
Circuit mode ( 64 kbps )
• Speech
• Unrestricted digital information
• Unrestricted digital information with tones/
announcements ( 7 kHz )
• 3.1 kHz audio
• Video
Packet mode through the B-channel ( 64 kbps )
General information concerning the numbering
plan of the S-interface
Each S-interface and each connected ISDN terminal
supporting its own MSN ( = Multiple Subscriber
Number ) require a directory number in the system.
These ISDN directory numbers will correspond to
route access numbers, normally used for trunk routes.
The S-Interface can only have one common directory
number assigned.
The TEs can have one or more MSN assigned
( depends on the terminal ).
Example:
4 route access numbers, corresponding to
1 S-interface => 1 common number
3 TE => 3 individual numbers = 3 MSN
The "individual number" = MSN for the second TE is
e.g.: 4738
The S-interface and all connected TEs use the same
trunks, e.g.: trunk numbers 700 and 701.
This means that the S-interface and all connected TEs
are assigned to the corresponding route numbers in
which these trunks (700 and 701) are included.
