E1
E1 is a European digital transmission format that was devised by the ITU-TS and named by the Conference of European
Postal and Telecommunication Administration (CEPT). E1 is the equivalent of the North American T-carrier system
format. E2 through E5 are carriers in increasing multiples of the E1 format. The E1 signal format carries data at a rate of
2.048 million bits per second, and can carry 32 channels of 64 Kbps each. E1 carries at a somewhat higher data rate than
T1, which carries 1.544 million bits per second. The reason for this higher rate is that E1, unlike T1, does not do bit-
robbing, and all 8 bits per channel are used to code the signal. E1 and T1 can be interconnected for international use. The
E2 signal format carries four multiplexed E1 signals with a data rate of 8.448 million bits per second. The E3 signal
format 16 E1 signals with a data rate of 34.368 million bits per second.

ear and mouth (E&M) signaling
Trunk supervisory signaling that is used between two communications systems. E&M signaling information is
transferred through 2-state voltage conditions (on the E and M leads) for analog applications, and through a single bit for
digital applications.

EIA-232
A physical interface specified by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA). EIA-232 transmits and receives
asynchronous data at speeds of up to 19.2 kilobits per second over cable distances of up to 50 feet. EIA-232 replaces RS-
232 protocol in some Avaya MultiVantage applications.
