Basic Configuration Using the Command-Line Interface on the Cisco VGD 1T3 Voice Gateway
Configuring the D Channels for ISDN Signaling
56
Cisco VGD 1T3 Voice Gateway Software Configuration Guide
The D channel notifies the central office switch to send the incoming call to particular time slots on the
Cisco gateway or router. Each one of the B channels carries data or voice. The D channel carries
signaling for the B channels. The D channel identifies whether the call is a circuit-switched digital call
or an analog modem call. Analog modem calls are decoded and then sent off to the onboard modems.
Circuit-switched digital calls are directly relayed to the ISDN processor in the gateway.
When you configured ISDN PRI on the T1 controller, you automatically created a serial interface that
corresponds to the PRI group time slots. This interface is a logical entity that is associated with the
specific controller. After the serial interface is created, you must configure the D channel serial interface
that carries signaling. The configuration applies to all the PRI B channels (time slots) for that PRI group.
Figure 1
shows the logical contents of an ISDN PRI interface used in a T1 network configuration. The
logical contents include 23 B channels, 1 D channel, 24 time slots, and 24 virtual serial interfaces (total
number of B + D channels).

Note
When you configure your T1 controller for an NFAS backup D channel, a serial interface is
automatically created only when your primary D channel fails.
