The interconnection to the carrier is by NTBK04, a 1.5 Mb 20 ft. carrier
cable. The NT8D97AX, a fifty-foot extension cable, is also available.
Microprocessor
The NTRB21 is equipped with bit-slice microprocessors that handle the
following major tasks:
•
Task handler: also referred to as an executive. The task handler
provides orderly per-channel task execution to maintain real-time task
ordering constraints.
•
Transmit voice: inserts digital pads, manipulates transmit AB bits for
DS1, and provides graceful entry into T-Link data mode when the data
module connected to the DTI/PRI trunk is answering the call.
•
Receive voice: inserts digital pads and provides graceful entry into
T-Link data mode when the data module connected to the DTI/PRI
trunk is originating the call.
•
T-Link data: a set of transmit and receive vectored subroutines which
provides T-Link protocol conversion to and from the DM-DM protocol.
•
Receive ABCD filtering: filters and debounces the receive ABCD bits
and provides change of state information to the system.
•
