ISDN Terminal Adapter Module with S/T Interface and Channel Bonding

Description

The XEISDNS integrated ISDN Terminal Adapter offers an easy to use, high performance, component-level solution for equipment designs needing access to ISDN service. The module can directly connect to a host processor through its onboard serial TTL level interface and link to the ISDN subscriber line S/T interface which is standard in most European countries.

The device is designed for the ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) which consists of two 64 k bps bearer (B) channels for data or voice and one delta (D) channel for signaling. The module can provide a full 128k bps synchronous data channel by combining the two bearer channels.

Alternatively, one 64k bps channel can be dedicated to data while the other can be made available for analog phone/fax/modem calls with the addition of the XEISDNP Analog Telephone (POTS) Equipment Interface. Together these provide the user with a complete ISDN terminal adapter function in two compact modules.

XEISDNS is designed to accommodate a wide range of software and protocols. It adapts to both single-link and multi-link Point-toPoint Protocol (PPP), as well as Asynchronous Inverse Multiplexing (AIM) up to 115.2k bps, and to synchronous BONDING to 128k bps.

Built-in ISDN control firmware supports all the functions necessary for setup and configuration of the terminal adapter and the ISDN line. Configuration can be accomplished via an extended AT command set, a menu-driven setup utility, or factory default/user stored configuration profiles.

The built-in ISDN Monitor firmware has fifteen commands supporting customer program development and download. The 256Kx16 Flash memory is designed to support custom control program downloading. By changing a configuration pin the XEISDNS can boot-up from the ISDN-Monitor or a user developed program as well as the built-in ISDN control program.

Design Considerations

ISDN Capability

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a powerful, flexible, high-speed service now available from most local phone service providers in North America, Asia, and Europe. It provides two 64k bps digital bearer channels (B channels) and one 16k bps signaling channel (D channel) over a single pair of copper wires. Typically the installed base of subscriber loop wiring is adequate for this service, making ISDN the most cost effective means of delivering high speed digital dial-up service to homes and businesses.

Because ISDN is a digital service, connection of computer equipment does not require a modem like a conventional analog line. However a terminal adapter is required to translate the physical signal levels and the protocols of the Data Terminal Equipment into those of the ISDN lines and switches. External ISDN Terminal Adapters have been available for some time. The XEISDNS provides a simple means for designers to implement an internal TA function without dedicating an entire board and a significant firmware investment to this purpose.

Terminal Adapter Function

The XEISDNS integrated ISDN Terminal Adapter Module is designed to provide a compact, simple design solution for adding ISDN service access to industrial, medical, computer, business, and consumer products which need to communicate with remote computers or networks at high data rates. Only three passive components (using the APC14103 transformer) must be added to implement the hardware interface, signaling and protocols for the European ISDN standard interface.

When used alone the XEISDNS module presents a high speed digital data channel to the local host equipment through an RS-232E-ready (TTL) serial interface. This channel can be configured by the designer or user for high speed synchronous or asynchronous applications. Async Inverse Multiplexing (AIM) or Multi-link PPP provides up to 115.2k bps asynchronous throughput. BONDING protocol provides a 128k synchronous channel.

When combined with the XEISDNP Analog Telephone Equipment Interface, the XEISDNS can provide either B channel ( on the same physical ISDN line) for simultaneous use by an independent analog phone, fax, or modem designed for “Plain Old Telephone Service” (POTS). Thus the user can place voice calls over the same ISDN line as data calls, and his investment in existing analog phone equipment is preserved.

Modes of Operation

Application Mode

The normal mode of operation of the XEISDNS is Application Mode. This would typically be the only mode visible to the equipment end user. When the CFG/SDO (pin 10) is pulled high, the XEISDNS module is in the Application mode. The ISDN configuration and control program supplied by Xecom or the equipment designer’s specially developed control program will boot-up upon power-on. In this mode the control program can occupy up to 240K x 16 of the 256K x 16 Flash memory.

Development Mode (ISDN Monitor)

XEISDNS also provides a development tool for designers who wish to write their own firmware control code. When the CFG/SDO (pin 10) is pulled low, the module will boot-up from the on board ISDN Monitor program. The xecom ISDN Monitor has fifteen debugging commands including program downloading, memory contents display and Flash memory operation. The complete command set is listed in the Configuration Guide.

After the designer program has been developed and tested using the ISDN Monitor utility it can be downloaded into non-volatile Flash memory. The module is then reconfigured to the Application Mode, and the program is ready to run.

Configuration and Setup

An ISDN telephone line presents a significantly more powerful and complex interface to the user than a standard analog (POTS) line. Unlike an analog line, the digital ISDN line requires special setup, demultiplexing, and signal processing to separate its two 64k bps data channels (B channels) and its 16k bps signaling channel (D channel) at the user interface. In order to establish a connection to an ISDN line, certain parameters must be exchanged between the telephone company switch and the local data communication equipment to initialize the call. It is assumed here that the user has access to an already installed ISDN line and the configuration parameters (Dial Numbers, Service Profile Identifiers, Switch Type, Switch Version, Long Distance Carrier) provided by the phone company for that line. Further information on these parameters is contained in the Configuration Guide.

In addition to the remote switch configuration, the local terminal adapter (TA), like an analog modem, must be set up properly to operate. There are several parameters which must be set compatibly at the TA and the switch to specify the exact services to be provided over the line. These parameters will vary with the application. The XEISDNS implements these functions based on setup information provided by the user. There are three methods for configuration of the link.

AT Command Configuration

The most basic configuration technique is through AT commands. The user interface is similar to that of an analog modem with an extended command set. The user communicates this information to the module through the RS232E serial port. A PC running standard VT100 compatible serial communications software is typically used for this purpose. The AT command set of the XEISDNS is designed to enable configuration and testing for both the remote switch and the terminal adapter.

Like an analog modem, the XEISDNS operates in two modes: data mode and command mode. In data mode the device sends all data received at its data ports down the ISDN link. In command mode the TA interprets these inputs as configuration and setup commands and processes them locally. Commands are communicated to the TA via its RS-232 serial interface from the local host processor. The TA enters command mode upon power-on, any time the Escape command “+++” is received, or when a call is terminated.

Page 9

XECOM (9) XEISDNS

The commands for TA configuration are modeled on the standard set used for analog modems with extensions for the new ISDN functions. Commands for remote switch configuration and the unique ISDN functions required of the terminal adapter have been added. The XEISDNS firmware contains an AT Command Help listing which can be displayed by typing “AT&H” while in command mode. The module will respond with a listing of AT commands with brief definitions of each. The complete command set listing appears in the Configuration Guide along with examples of configuration profiles for typical applications.

Menu Configuration

The second configuration method uses a group of Setup Menus built into the XEISDNS firmware. These menus are accessed by entering the AT command “@SETUP” while the module is in Command Mode. Keyboard commands from a PC in VT100 terminal emulation mode allow the user to move through the complete set of configuration choices, enter variable data, and store the results. Operation of the Setup Menus are explained in the Configuration Guide.

Stored Configurations

A complete set of configuration parameters must be in place each time the XEISDNS places a call. However the current parameters are held in volatile memory and are lost when the host equipment power is interrupted. Also, once a working configuration has been established for a particular ISDN line, terminal equipment set, and service type there is no need to change it for each call. To speed up and/or automate the call setup process stored configurations are provided in the XEISDNS.

Two types of stored configurations are provided: factory defaults and user defined configurations. Factory defaults are stored in Flash memory while user defined sets are stored in EEPROM. The factory default configuration sets provided represent setups for common applications. Descriptions of these are contained in the Configuration Guide. There are provisions for two user defined configuration sets. In addition the settings associated with switch parameters are stored and accessed separately to help prevent accidental changes. Extended AT commands are provided to store and load these configuration sets upon power up or separately. These commands are detailed in the Configuration Guide.
