- T1/E1 signaling information routing

- Default connections

## PRI mode switch model

The following illustration shows the CG 6565E switching model in PRI mode:

## H.100 and local streams

The following tables list the specific use of each stream in the CG 6565E PRI switch model:

### H.100 streams

H.100 bus | Streams 0..31, timeslots 0..127 (Streams clocked at 8 MHz)

### Local streams

Trunk voice information (T1 trunks) | Trunk 1: Streams 0 and 1 Trunk 2: Streams 4 and 5 Trunk 3: Streams 8 and 9 Trunk 4: Streams 12 and 13 Trunk 5: Streams 16 and 17 Trunk 6: Streams 20 and 21 Trunk 7: Streams 24 and 25 Trunk 8: Streams 28 and 29 | timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22 timeslots 0..22
Trunk voice information (E1 trunks) | Trunk 1: Streams 0 and 1 Trunk 2: Streams 4 and 5 Trunk 3: Streams 8 and 9 Trunk 4: Streams 12 and 13 Trunk 5: Streams 16 and 17 Trunk 6: Streams 20 and 21 Trunk 7: Streams 24 and 25 Trunk 8: Streams 28 and 29 | timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29 timeslots 0..29
DSP voice information (T1 and E1 trunks) | Streams 64 and 65, timeslots 0.. up to 1500

In PRI mode, an internal HDLC controller automatically terminates the D channel signaling.

## Voice information routing on T1 trunks (PRI mode)

If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = PRI, signaling information is routed to accommodate the T1 ISDN common channel signaling configuration, where voice information is transmitted in the first 23 channels. Each voice channel on the T1 trunk is placed in a corresponding timeslot on the local bus in the following streams:

## Voice information routing on E1 trunks (PRI mode)

Regardless of the NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType setting, the CG 6565E board routes the voice information by assigning E1 timeslots 1 through 15 to the local bus timeslots 0..14. E1 timeslots 17 through 31 are assigned to the local bus timeslots 15..29. Timeslot 0 on the E1 line carries framing data.

The following illustration shows how voice channel data is assigned to timeslots:

## T1/E1 signaling information routing (PRI mode)

If NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = PRI, signaling information is routed differently to accommodate an ISDN common channel signaling configuration, where CCS signaling packets are transmitted in the D channel.

In PRI mode, the trunk signaling streams are not used. In this case, each trunk signaling stream has zero timeslots.

On CG 6565E boards, framer signaling is hard wired to internal HDLCs when the board runs in PRI mode. Refer to the PRI mode switch model. HDLC signaling is automatically terminated by an internal HDLC.

## Default connections (PRI mode)

If a board is configured for standalone operation (Clocking.HBus.ClockMode = STANDALONE), the DSPs and trunks are connected as shown in the following table.

Note: The SwitchConnections keyword can override this setting.

The exact settings for CG 6565E boards configured as T1 or E1 depend upon the NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType keyword setting.

The following table shows the default routing for CG 6565E boards in PRI mode:

Trunk type | Full duplex connection between trunk voice information and the DSP resources...
--- | ---
T1 | Trunk 1: 0:0..22 => 65:0..22 Trunk 2: 4:0..22 => 65:24..46 Trunk 3: 8:0..22 => 65:48..70 Trunk 4: 12:0..22 => 65:72..94 Trunk 5: 16:0..22 => 65:96..118 Trunk 6: 20:0..22 => 65:120..142 Trunk 7: 24:0..22 => 65:144..166 Trunk 8: 28:0..22 => 65:168..190 | 64:0..22 => 1:0..22 64:24..46 => 5:0..22 64:48..70 => 9:0..22 64:72..94 => 13:0..22 64:96..118 => 17:0..22 64:120..142 => 21:0..22 64:144..166 => 25:0..22 64:168..190 => 29:0..22
E1 | Trunk 1: 0:0..29 => 65:0..29 Trunk 2: 4:0..29 => 65:30..59 Trunk 3: 8:0..29 => 65:60..89 Trunk 4: 12:0..29 => 65:90..119 Trunk 5: 16:0..29 => 65:120..149 Trunk 6: 20:0..29 => 65:150..179 Trunk 7: 24:0..29 => 65:180..209 Trunk 8: 28:0..29 => 65:210..239 | 64:0..29 => 1:0..29 64:30..59 => 5:0..29 64:60..89 => 9:0..29 64:90..119 => 13:0..29 64:120..149 => 17:0..29 64:150..179 => 21:0..29 64:180..209 => 25:0..29 64:210..239 => 29:0..29

On CG 6565E boards, the framer signaling is hard wired to internal HDLCs when the board runs in PRI mode.

Note: The CG 6565E board does not allow signaling streams to be connected to the CT bus.
