The two B channels and the one D channel that make up a Basic Rate ISDN line are assembled together within the interface using a technique called Time Division Multiplexing.

It works like this. Imagine a clock with the second hand spinning. For a portion of the arc described by the second hand, the interface is carrying data for the D channel; for another portion of the arc, the interface is carrying data for a B channel.
