ISDN • Purpose • Digital interface between user and network • An all digital network to support the transport for digitized information • For the user the type of transport network is transparent, voice, video, data • ISDN nodes provides this transparency • Based on technologies used in T1/E1
ISDN • Topology • Similar to X.25 • UNI protocol • Comprises of • Functional groupings • Set of capabilities, • Multiple pieces of equipment or software
ISDN • Topology • Comprises of • Reference Points • Interfaces between the functional groupings • Physical interface between two pieces of equipment
ISDN • Topology
ISDN • Topology • Functional Groupings • TE1 • Terminal equipment type 1 – ISDN compatible equipment • Uses twisted pair – 4 wire digital link
ISDN • Topology • Functional Groupings • NT2 -Network Termination type 2 • An intelligent equipment, layer 2 & 3 functions • Concentration, multiplexing of channels to a defined rate • Support multiple terminals
ISDN • Topology • Functional Groupings • NT1 -Network Termination type 1 • Connects 4 wire subscriber to 2 wire local loop • Physical layer – signaling, synchronization and timing • TEs can connect direct to NT1 – can address up to 8 TEs • NT1 + NT2 = NT12 - combined functions
ISDN • Topology • Functional Groupings • TE2 – non-ISDN compatible TE type 2 • Requires an adapter to connect to ISDN • TA – Terminal Adapter • provides adaptive function for non-ISDN terminals
ISDN • Topology • Reference points • S – logical interface between TE and network • R – between non-ISDN TE and adapter • U – 2 wire side of the NT equipment • TE – user related , NT – Network related
ISDN • Topology • TDM based • 2B + D channels – Basic Rate Interface- BRI • B – user data – 64 Kbps • D – signaling – 16kbs – out-of band • 8 TE1s can share a 2B+D channel
ISDN • Topology • PRI – Primary Rate interface • 23B + D channels – NA & Japan • 1.544 Mbps • 31B + D channels – Europe • 2.048 Mbps
ISDN • Layers
ISDN • Layers • 3 layers, Network, data link and physical • Physical – • Basic Rate Interface & Primary Rate Interface • Data Link layer • LAPD – Link Access Procedures for D channel
ISDN • Layers • Network Layer – Q.931 • Establishing and releasing connection
ISDN • PDUs • LAPD- subset of HDLC • Carries Q.931 messages • SAPI – Service Access point identifier • Port used between adjacent layers • TEI – Terminal Equipment Identifier • Identifies one or several TEs
ISDN • PDUs • LAPD- • SAPI+TEI = DLCI = Data link connection identifier
ISDN • PDUs • Q.931 – signaling protocol • Four categories • Establishment • Tear Down • Information phase • Miscellaneous
ISDN • Conclusions • Starting problems – policies • Later problems – upcoming technologies • LAPD and Q.931 – very useful contributions
