The TR-TSY-000008 BellcoreTM standard (commonly referred to as TR-08) describes the generic
requirements for interfacing between local digital switches and remote digital terminals via the
SLC 96
TR-08 has three operational modes (ICX-250 supports mode I):
Although commonly referred to as the TR-08 standard, the R T channel numbering scheme supported
by the ICX-250 unit is described in section 9.9 of the Bellcore publication TR-TSY-000057.
The ICX-250 provides SLC-96 Frame Format and Data Link.
When a T1 port is configured for TR-08 format, the v oice channels as signed to this port are identifi ed
by “channel number” (according to the TR-TSY-000008 document), which may be different from
the T1 time slot number . The ICX-250 supports only Group A. The re lation between a channel number
and corresponding slot number for TR-08 is shown in the following table.
TM
digital loop carrier system.
• Modes I & III are non-concentrated and provide unique mapping between channel
numbers and DS1 time slots.
• Mode II is concentrated and there are no pre-determined relationships between the
channels and timeslots . This allocation of channe ls to t ime s lo ts i s made pos sible by the
exchange of messages between the Local Digital Switch (LDS) and remote terminal (RT).
