G.704 Framing and Rate Selectable HDSL
Time slots 0 and 16 are always transported in accordance with the G.704 framing standard. Although not used by
G.703 to transport data, the rate-selectable HDSL interface treats time slots 0 and 16 as a 128 kbps increase in the
HDSL payload rate. For example, when 4 time slots are selected (256 kbps), time slots 0 and 16 are transported
along with the selected time slots, 1 though 4. This results in an HDSL payload rate of 384 kbps (that is, 256 kbps
plus the 128 kbps added by time slots 0 and 16). Table 9 lists several examples of selected and actual HDSL
payload rates.
In structured mode, time slots 0 and 16 do not contain data and are transparent to the G.703 input. The transmitted
G.703 data arrives at both the customer and network DTE at the selected HDSL payload rate. This is illustrated
in Figure 6 on page 14.
HOT SWAPPING
UTUs can be inserted and removed from any compatible shelf or enclosure with the power turned on. This will
not cause damage to the units nor will it cause interference to any other HDSL circuits that are operating within
the same shelf or enclosure.
