All tributary interfaces are internally converted to E1/T1 data streams, which are transmitted through the Turin node and the network either as synchronous or asynchronous tributaries.

One of these E1/T1 trunks is configured to synchronize the two connected network nodes and all E1/T1 circuits are clock and frame synchronized before transmission, this enables all the parallel E1/T1 circuits to be received using a common synchronous node clock.

Therefore, we cannot connect to any other nodes on the network via this node that have a metric of greater than 1.

Previous to the break, the route to Node B was via gateway 192.168.6.1 with a metric of 1. RIP allows the break to be learnt by all the nodes on the network and hence they will update their route table accordingly and find alternative gateways for the destination.

  • Page 585 Turin Networks, Inc. Ch 4-1: Voice Network Applications 1 INTRODUCTION The TE-50 converts analog voice from a telephone interface into a digital signal and multiplexes the digital signal across trunk circuits to other TE-50 nodes where the digital signal is output to external voice switch equipment in either in digital format or converted to analog format.
  • Page 586 Turin Networks, Inc. Chapter 4-1: Voice Network Applications 2 PCM COMMUNICATIONS All Turin analog voice interfaces digitize the voice signal within the IM before transmission through the DACS and trunk circuits. The digitization process produces a higher quality signal that can be integrated into higher speed transmission circuits.
  • Page 587 Turin Networks, Inc. Chapter 4-1: Voice Network Applications The interchange of signaling between the voice systems connected to the Turin interfaces is carried using four bits (a, b, c, d) which are formed by the analog voice IM (E&M, FXS, FXO) or by external digital switching equipment connected to E1 IM.
  • Page 588 Turin Networks, Inc. Chapter 4-1: Voice Network Applications 2.1 T1 RBS T1 RBS is a technique used on T1 lines that use digital transmission. The technique is to take the least significant bit use it to control functions such a Dial Tone, Ring, Busy Answer and etc. Each voice channel is coded in 8 bit timeslots.
  • Page 589 Turin Networks, Inc. Chapter 4-1: Voice Network Applications 2.1.2 ESF ESF, like DF, is a DS1 framing format in which 24 DS0 time slots plus a coded framing bit are organized into a frame. Unlike DF, ESF is repeated 24 times to form a super frame. This super frame therefore has four stolen (signaling) bits: A, B, C, and D.

  • Page 599 Turin Networks, Inc.

  • Page 604 Turin Networks, Inc. Chapter 4-1: Voice Network Applications DACS (CROSS CONNECT) Each IM interface is converted to a digital PCM signal and presented to an integrated Digital Access Cross-Connect Switch (DACS). The function of the DACS is to provide connections between IMs in the same node and to aggregate multiple IM interface data into trunk circuits between Turin network nodes or to external voice switch systems.
