Overview
Description of the ISDN Interface
The ISDN Interface is a Primary Rate Interface (PRI) digital trunk card that
provides 23 voice channels (“B” channels) and a control channel (“D”
channel) over a four-wire circuit.
ISDN lines can be leased from local exchange carriers and long-distance
carriers.
Note: The current version of the ISDN supports voice communications only.
Data can be transmitte d only if i t reache s the IS DN in ana log form. Exampl es of
analog data that can be transmitted over the ISDN include fax transmissions or
PC files that have been converted into analog form using a modem.
Framing Options
The ISDN Interface takes an 8-bit sample from each of the 23 voice channels.
These samples are grouped into 23 bearer time slots, and 1 data channel time
slot.
Since each of the 24 time slots contains 8 bits, the number of s ampling bi ts i n
each frame equals 192 (24 x 8 = 192). In addition, a framing bit is added to
the end of each frame to mark where the frame ends. The addition of the
framing bit results in a 193-bit frame.
The ISDN transmits these 193-bit frames at a rate of 8000 per second. The
total number of frames (193) multiplied by the frame speed (8000 per second)
results in a total transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps.
ESF Framing Formats
The extended superframe (ESF) format transmits the sampling frames in
groups of 24 with 23B (bearer) channels at 64 Kbps and 1D (Data) channel at
64 Kbps. With the addition of 2.0 Kbps error checking CRC, 2.0 Kbps
framing, and 4.0 Kbps datalink facility, the total capacity is 1.544 Mbps.

Introduction to the ISDN Interface
Pre-Installation Requirements
Use the following guidelines to prepare your site for ISDN installation.
Ordering ISDN
The ISDN PRI provides a flexible method of providing access to the PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network). Because of the numerous ways that
an ISDN span can be configured by the CO, it is essential that the DBS
configuration and the provisioning of the CO be compatible. The following
tables are provided to identify the critical parameters that must be set for
proper operation. The following tables provides a list of information that must
be gathered about the CO as well as the type of information which the CO
will need to know regarding the DBS system.

CSU Equipment
The installer must provide a Channel Service Unit (CSU) plus CSU cabling.
The CSU equipment must meet the specifications contained in T able 1-3. See
page 2-12 for instructions on installing the CSU.
Table 1-3. CSU equipment required for ISDN
ItemSpecificationsVendors
CSU
CSU
Cabling
The Channel Service Unit (CSU) must
comply with FCC Part 15 and Part 68. The
CSU is installed between the DBS and the
public network. The CSU provides alarm,
diagnostic, and monitoring functions, as
well as network protection.
Each CSU requires a network cable and an equipment cable. The network cable connects from the
CSU to the network interface. The equipment cable
connects from the CSU to the DBS ISDN MDF
card.
For Kentrox CSUs
The network cable requires a female DB-15 connector and an RJ48C connector. The equipment
cable requires a male DB-15 connector and an
RJ48C connector.
To simplify installation, you can order the prefabricated cables shown in the “Vendors” column.
If you fabricate your own ISDN cables, you should
use 24 AWG stranded cable that includes shielding
for each pair. For best results, use the cable listed
under “Vendors.”
For Premier CSUs
You must fabricate your own cables for the Premier
CSU. The network cable requires two RJ48C connectors. The equipment cable connects to an RJ48C
connector on the ISDN MDF card and to four
screw-down terminals on the CSU.
For both cables, use 24 AWG stranded cable that
includes shielding for each pair. For best results,
use the cable listed under “Vendors.”
The following CSUs have been used successfully with the DBS ISDN.
Kentrox
Kentrox T-SERV II
or
Kentrox T-SMART

For Kentrox CSUs
Kentrox offers prefabricated cables f or their CSUs.
For the network cable, order part number 01-
93010151. For the equipment cable, order part
number 01-93010121.
If you fabricate your own cables, use 24 AWG
stranded cable that includes shielding for each pair.
Belden (Richmond, IN) offers stranded cable that
complies with these specifications. Order part

InstallationGuidelines
Guidelines
Read the following guidelines before beginning ISDN installation.
Installation instructions begin on page 2-14.
Hardware Requirements
• The system configuration determines what cards and cables must be
purchased for ISDN. See “DBS Equipment” on page 1-8 for more
information.
• The installer must provide a Channel Service Unit (CSU) that complies
with FCC Part 15 and Part 68. The CSU is installed between the DBS and
the public network. The CSU provides alarm, diagnostic, and monitoring
functions, as well as network protection.
See “CSU Equipment” on page 1-9 for details on purchasing CSUs.
Maximums
• One ISDN card can be installed per cabinet; the ISDN card must be
installed in the “EC/TRK” slot.
• The number of ISDN cards that can be installed in two-cabinet systems
depends on the sizes of the connected systems. Table 2-1 shows ISDN
maximums for two-cabinet systems.
Note: The DBS 72 + DBS 40 combination does not support ISDN.
• Fractional ISDN can be used when fewer than 23 ISDN trunks are needed.
Fractional ISDN allows you to use only a portion of the 23 channels
provided on the ISDN card.
• Fractional ISDN per port assignments require the VB-43511A version of
the loop start trunk card. The older VB-43511 version may be used with
fractional ISDN but requires that the trunks be assigned in blocks of 8.
• Though each ISDN Interface provides 23 trunk channels, ISDN trunks do
not increase the overall trunk capacity of the DBS. Each ISDN channel
subtracts from the total number of analog trunks that can be installed. The
number of analog trunks that can be used are decremented in quantities of
1 for each ISDN channel user.
Tables 2-2 through 2-4 show the possible combinations of analog and
digital trunks assignments based on system size.
The trunk numbering shown in these tables is determined by backplane
trunk port assignments. Therefore, the numbering cannot be changed.
Note: Analog trunks are numbered beginning with “1.” ISDN trunk
channels are numbered beginning with the highest trunk channel used.
2-4DBS-EX23-530Revised April 2000
InstallationGuidelines
Trunk Assignments for Single-Cabinet Systems
• Programming is not required to associate trunk ports with slot locations.
However, you must use programming to specify that a combination of
ISDN and analog trunks is installed, and you must also specify how many
ISDN channels are used.
• Fractional ISDN per port assignments require the VB-43511A version of
the loop start trunk card. The older VB-43511 version may be used with
fractional ISDN but requires that the trunks be assigned in blocks of 8.
Table 2-2. ISDN and analog trunk assignments, DBS 40
• When ISDN is used in a two-cabinet system, the number of ISDN channels
that can be assigned in each cabinet depends on the master/slave
designation.
• Fractional ISDN per port assignments require the VB-43511A version of
the loop start trunk card. The older VB-43511 version may be used with
fractional ISDN but requires that the trunks be assigned in blocks of 8.
The following table shows the maximum number of ISDN channels that
can be assigned in two-cabinet systems.

• Two-cabinet systems use the same trunk numbering scheme as singlecabinet systems: analog trunks are numbered from “1” upward; ISDN
trunk channels are numbered downward from the highest channel used.
Tables 2-6 through 2-10 show trunk numbering for two-cabinet systems
using the maximum number of ISDN channels.

1. Connect the equipment cable from the DBS MDF card to the equipment
side of the CSU, as shown in Figure 2-1.
