On 24-channel interfaces, any of the first 23 ports on the DS1 circuit packs can be
a B channel. On the TN464C/D UDS1 circuit pack, the 24

(FAS or NFAS) implemented on the circuit pack. For more details, see

circuit pack, all 24 ports are used as B channels since D-channel signaling is not
supported on the TN767 circuit pack. The signaling for these B channels is done
over a D channel located on a UDS1 TN464C/D board.
On 32-channel interfaces, any of ports 1 – 15 and 17 – 31 on the DS1 interface
circuit pack can be a B channel. The 16

For interfaces using country protocol 1 on the DS1 circuit pack administration form
(including US), the signaling protocol used for the maintenance of the B channel is
defined by the Avaya ISDN-PRI specification. For interfaces using country
protocols other than 1, the signaling protocol used for the maintenance of the
B channel is defined by the CCITT ISDN-PRI Specification.
There are five possible service states for a B channel. The service state is
negotiated with the far-end switch, changes over time, and may have a far- and
near-end components. The service state is initialized to Out-of-Service/Far-End,
and an attempt is made to negotiate it to In-Service.
The Avaya ISDN-PRI Specification defines the possible SERVICE STATES for a
B channel. The service state is negotiated with the far-end switch, changes over
time, and may have a far- or near-end component. The service state is initialized
to Out-Of-Service/Far-End, and an attempt is made to negotiate it to In-Service.
NOTE:
A system technician can display the service state of a particular DS1 ISDN
Trunk B channel by issuing the status trunk trunk-group/trunk member
command.
When a call is present, the specification defines the permissible call states as
well. There are tests in the short and long test sequences for DS1 ISDN Trunk
designed to audit these states and ensure agreement between both ends of the
PRI connection.
