TDM Line-Handling Function
The TDM line-handling function provides the physical layer interface to the T1/E1 lines and handles the
following features:
• Framing
• Line codes
• Physical layer alarms and failures
• Clocking
• Loopbacks
• Distinguishes between bearer and CCS signaling channels
Outgoing traffic—in from the TDM network and out to the packet network—is processed by the T1/E1
framers where each DS0 is extracted from its DS1 stream and is routed by a DS0 switch to the
appropriate function. Bearer DS0s are routed to the bearer processing function. CCS signaling DS0s are
routed to the TDM signaling function.
Outgoing traffic—in from the packet network and out to the TDM network—is processed in the opposite
manner. The DS0s received from the ATM side are inserted into their respective DS1s and transmitted
over the appropriate line in the TDM network.
