ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview

D-Channel and MSDL interface

The connection between the DDP card and the DCHI or MSDL is via a 26
pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the electrical
characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422.

Two control signals are used to communicate the D-Channel link status
to the DCHI or MSDL. These are:

•

Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP card, to indicate to the
DCHI or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational.

•

Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCHI or MSDL, to indicate to
the DDP card that the DCHI or MSDL are ready to use the D-Channel
link.

Table 15 "DCHI/MSDL Receiver Ready control signals" (page 58)

indicates

how the RR control signal operates with regard to the DDP status.
