BRI-SET, Various Adjuncts<br />

term ``ISDN-BRI port'' is used to refer collectively to ports on the TN2208 MFB circuit pack that<br />

is connected to ASAI or <strong>Avaya</strong> adjuncts. The TN2208 ESAI MFB is h<strong>and</strong>led by switch software<br />

as it is an ISDN BRI compatible board <strong>and</strong> every maintenance action referring to ASAI <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Avaya</strong> Adjunct Links in this section applies.<br />

Two types of ISDN-BRI endpoints may be connected to ISDN-BRI (ISDN Basic Rate Interface<br />

Line) TN556 <strong>and</strong> TN2198 circuit packs: ISDN-BRI station endpoints, ASAI (Adjunct-Switch<br />

Application Interface) <strong>and</strong> <strong>Avaya</strong> adjuncts (for example CONVERSANT® Voice System). These<br />

circuit packs contain 12 ports of line circuit interfaces, each of which operates at 192 kilobits per<br />

second (kbps) with two B-Chels <strong>and</strong> one D-Chel. For BRI endpoints, each B-Chel may support<br />

voice or circuit-switched data <strong>and</strong> may be circuit-switched simultaneously. The B-Chels are not<br />

used by ASAI or <strong>Avaya</strong> adjuncts. The D-Chel is used for conveying signaling between the<br />

switch <strong>and</strong> a BRI endpoint(s) or ASAI or <strong>Avaya</strong> adjuncts. Each ISDN-BRI D-Chel is connected<br />

to the switch processor <strong>and</strong> the ISDN-BRI port through the PKT-BUS (packet bus).<br />

ISDN-BRI endpoints come in a number of configurations. Every endpoint requires the D-Chel to<br />

convey signaling information to the switch. A voice-only set requires only one B-Chel. A voice<br />

<strong>and</strong> data-capable set requires both B-Chels (one for voice <strong>and</strong> one for data). Therefore, each<br />

TN556 port can support either two voice-only sets or one voice <strong>and</strong> data-capable set. Only a<br />

single ASAI or <strong>Avaya</strong> adjunct may be connected to an ISDN-BRI port. Multiple adjuncts per line<br />

are not supported.<br />

Figure 5: ISDN-BRI Set Interactions illustrates the physical connection (solid line) between an<br />

ISDN-BRI circuit pack <strong>and</strong> a voice or voice/data set. Each physical connection allows for two<br />

B-Chels, as stated above, plus one D-Chel. Each ISDN-BRI circuit pack can support up to 12 of<br />

these PHYSICAL connections to different voice <strong>and</strong> voice/data sets or ASAI <strong>and</strong> <strong>Avaya</strong><br />

adjuncts.<br />
