ISDN Trunk-Side BRI Port)
This document describes the port maintenance features of the DEFINITY
®
 ISDN 
Trunk-side BRI board (TN2185). The circuit pack provides 8 S/T ISDN 2B+D 
ports which interface to either the central office or another PBX.
The TN2185 circuit pack contains eight, 4-wire ports that interface to the network 
at the ISDN S/T reference point over two 64 Kb/s channels (B1 and B2) and over 
a 16Kb/s signaling (D) channel. The B1 and B2 channels can be simultaneously 
circuit switched, or individually packet switched. Only one channel per trunk can 
be packet switched due to Packet Processing Element (PPE) limitations. The D 
channel is either circuit switched or packet switched. Packet switching uses the 
PPE to combine all D channels into a single physical channel, which is then 
routed via the concentration highway to the Network Control Element (NCE) and 
then to the TDM bus. The circuit-switched connections have a Mu-law or A-law 
option for voice and operate as 64Kb/s clear data channels. The 
packet-switched channels support the LAPD protocol and conform with the 
CCITT Q.920 Recommendations for D-channel signaling. 
LEDs
The three LEDs on the circuit pack’s faceplate indicate board status. When 
illuminated, the red LED indicates a board failure or a major or minor on-board 
alarm, the green LED indicates that testing is in progress, and the amber LED 
indicates that the board is in use.
