The maximum user rate is 64 kbps for voice and data. The maximum
distances are based on T1 limitations. At 2.048 Mbps, each E1 frame
consists of 32 64-kbps channels
■ Analog — A modulated voice-frequency carrier signal
■ ADU Proprietary — A signal generated by an ADU. The signal is for
communication over limited distances and can be understood only by a
destination ADU or destination system port with a built-in ADU
■ Digital Signal Level 1 (DS1) — A protocol defining the line coding,
signaling, and framing used on a 24-channel line. Many types of trunk
protocols (for example, PRI and 24th-channel signaling) use DS1 protocol
at layer 1
■ European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications rate 1 (CEPT1)
— A protocol defining the line coding, signaling, and framing used on a
32-channel line. Countries outside the United States use CEPT1 protocol
Inside the system, data transmission appears in one of two forms:
1. Raw digital data, where the physical layer protocols, like DCP, are
stripped at the incoming port and reinserted at the outgoing port.
2. Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)-encoded analog signals (analog
transmission by a modem), the signal having been digitized by an
analog-to-digital coder/decoder (CODEC) at the incoming port.
Layer-2 Protocols
Layer-2 protocols are given below:
■ 8-bit character code — Between the DTE equipment and the DCE
equipment. Depending on the type of equipment used, the code can be
any proprietary code set.
■ Digital multiplexed interface proprietary — Family of protocols between
the originating DCE and the destination DCE for digital transmission. See

Interface [DMI] Technical Specification,

■ Voice-grade data — Between the originating DCE and the destination
DCE for analog transmission
