The addition of these priorities will assure that traffic on higher priority circuits will be unaffected by traffic from lower priority circuits. Four queues will be implemented so no traffic of lower priority will be allowed to pass when there is traffic pending in a higher priority queue.

This capability allows users to pick the most cost-effective services for both permanent connections (e.g., LAN-to-WAN) and periodic connections (e.g., video conferencing).

  • Page 112: B Channel

    Running Head Introduction 5.1.1.3 B Channel A B channel is a timeslot on any WAN link that is controlled by an ISDN D channel. B channel assignments to WAN links are used dynamically by the system as incoming and outgoing ISDN calls occur. In the system, every timeslot is either a B channel or a DS0.

  • Page 113: Trunks

    ISDN-PRI Card 5.1.1.8 Trunks An ISDN trunk is a logical division of B channels pertaining to a D channel. It consists of one or more contiguous or non-contiguous B channels. All B channels in a trunk must belong to the same D channel. However, a trunk may be assigned across different physical interfaces when NFAS is used.

  • Page 114: Ds0S And B Channels On The Same Facility

    Running Head Introduction Figure 5-2 shows an application where a user needs less than 23 B channels (say 6 B channels for video), and some dedicated DS0s (say 12 for LAN-WAN interconnect). In this case, the D channel, B channels, and the DS0s all run on the same facility from the equipment to the carrier.

  • Page 115: Network And User Side Protocols

    ISDN-PRI Card Figure 5-3 shows an application that requires 3 D channels. The user has ordered a 23B+D facility to each of two different carriers. The third facility is a local NFAS (47B+D) connection to the user’s PBX. In this application, the system will route calls from the PBX to the appropriate carrier based on called phone number (see Call Routing section later in this chapter).

  • Page 116: Isdn-Pri Links To Two Carriers

    Running Head Introduction Figure 5-4 shows how the application in Figure 5-3 would be set up if the user’s PBX was not connected to the system. The disadvantage of this configuration is that the PBX may not be able to support two D channels, may not be able to handle the differences in D channel protocols between the two carriers, and may not be able to route calls to the appropriate carrier.
