B-Channel – Port Association 6. B-CHANNEL – PORT ASSOCIATION Communiction through a Dual Cell is performed via ports on one end, and B-channels on the other end: Each Dual Cell has two ports. Each port extends to a GSM module (containing a SIM). The GSM module communicates to the GSM network. On the opposite end of the Dual Cell, two B-channels communicate to the switching unit.
B-Channel – Port Association These settings are made in the B-channel/Port window. Click to open the B-Channel/Port setup window. This window is divided into four frames, as shown below. 6.1. B-CHANNEL TO IN-HOUSE PHONE NUMBER ASSOCIATION Assign office “in-house” phone number extensions to B-Channels In-house phone numbers are assigned in the lower left frame. 20 BRI ISDN Gateway User Guide www.eurotech-communication.
