964 NTBK22 MISP card
• control terminal initialization and addressing
• assign B-channels for switched voice and data transmission by
communicating with the BRI terminal over the D-channel and allocating
to it an idle B-channel with appropriate bearer capabilities
• separate D-channel data from signaling information and route the data
to the packet handler
• send call control messages to ISDN BRI terminals over the D-channel
Micro Processing Unit (MPU)
The MPU coordinates and controls data transfer and addressing of the
peripheral devices and communicates with the CPU using a message
channel on the CPU bus. The tasks that the MPU performs depend on the
interrupts it receives. The interrupts are prioritized by the importance of
the tasks they control.

High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC)
The HDLC is a format converter that supports up to 32 serial channels that
communicate at speeds up to 64 kbps. The HDLC converts messages into
the following two message formats:
• a serially transmitted, zero-inserted, CRC protected message that has a
starting and an ending flag
• a data structure

CPU to MISP bus interface
Information exchange between the CPU and the MISP is performed with
packetized messages transmitted over the CPU bus. This interface has a
16-bit data bus, an 18-bit address bus, and interrupt and read/write control
lines.
