Protocols
Usage
The following is a list of the protocols when data is transmitted to and through the
system. The list is organized by protocol layers. Refer to
Layer-1 Protocols
Layer-1 protocols are used between the terminal or host DTE and the DCE, used
between the DCE equipment and the system port, and used inside the system.
The following layer-1 protocols are used between the DTE equipment and the
DCE equipment. DCE equipment can be data modules, modems, or Data Service
Units (DSUs). A DSU is a device that transmits digital data to a particular digital
endpoint over the public network without processing the data through any
intervening private network switches.
RS-232
This protocol is typically used for communicating up to 19.2 kbps
RS-449
restrictions and lack of modem control
—
V.35
is typically used for transmissions at 56 or 64 kbps
The following protocols are used at layer 1 to govern communication between the
DCE equipment and the port. These protocols consist of codes inserted at the
originating DCE and stripped at the port. The DS1 protocol can be inserted at the
originating, outgoing trunk port and stripped at the destination port.
Digital Communications Protocol (DCP)
This protocol sends digitized voice and digital data in frames at 160 kbps.
The channel structure consists of two information (I) channels and one
signaling (S) channel. Each I-channel provides 64 kbps of voice and/or
data communication and the S-channel provides 8 kbps of signaling
communication between the system and DTE equipment. DCP is similar to
ISDN-BRI
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
consisting of two 64-kbps bearer (B) channels and one 16-kbps signaling
(D) channel. For the implementation of this standard, see DEFINITY
Communications System and System 75 and System 85 ISDN BRI
Reference, 555-025-103
Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
voice and digital data in T1 frames at 1.544-Mbps or, for countries outside
the United States, in E1 frames at 2.048-Mbps. Layer 1 (physical), layer 2
(link), and layer 3 (network) ISDN PRI protocols are defined in System 75
and 85
1.544 Mbps, each frame consists of 24 64-kbps channels plus 8 kbps for
framing. This represents 23 B-channels plus 1 D-channel. The maximum
user rate is 64 kbps for voice and data. The maximum distances are based
on T1 limitations. At 2.048 Mbps, each E1 frame consists of 32 64-kbps
channels
