Service message function

Service messages are used to monitor the following:
• D-channel establishment
• D-channel sanity polling
• B-channel or ISL channel status change
• Channel status audit
D-channel establishment
When the D-channel establishes, the B-channel status is supported by sending service
messages for each B-channel controlled by a D-channel. This allows the far end to synchronize
its channel states. These service messages are sent when the D-channel is brought up
automatically by the system or manually by using LD 96.
This function is supported by network connections only.
D-channel sanity polling
If a D-channel has been idle for 30 seconds, a service message is sent to poll the sanity of the
link. The service message is sent regardless of whether the near end is configured as a master
or a slave.
B-channel or ISL channel status change
Whenever there is a status change for a B-channel or an ISL channel, the new status is
reported to the far end by means of a service message. Status change can occur through
service change or maintenance operations, such as the addition or deletion of a channel in LD
