3300 R2 NSU Protocols
R2 is a protocol converter that allows the 3300 R2 NSU to access an R2 National Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using MF-R2 digital trunk signaling. The 3300 Controller
also receives and processes Calling Line Identification (CLI) and allows the information to be
displayed on the user's telephone display screen.
The 3300 R2 NSU supports the CCITT Blue Book, Volume VI, Fascicle VI.4, Specifications of
Signaling System R2, Recommendations Q.440 to Q.490 (with the exception of Echo
Suppression (Q.479), Test Calls (Q.490) and international signals).
The 3300 R2 NSU converts the following:
• Incoming MF-R2 signals from the PSTN into Digital Private Network Signaling System
(DPNSS) signals for the system
• Outgoing DPNSS signals from the system into MF-R2 signals for the PSTN.
