3.2.3 An Integrated Switch of 64-kbit/s Time Slots
3.2.3.1 E1 Transmission Mode (only E1 Time Slots)
In this mode, only time slots of E1 data streams are transmitted over SHDSL lines according to ITU-
T Rec. G.991.2.
Table 3.10 Comparison of SHDSL data rate and number of possible time slots of one E1 stream
3.2.3.2 E1, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 and Ethernet Simultaneous Transmission Mode
The system supports simultaneous transmission of E1 time slots, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data and
Ethernet data (from the ports WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, WAN4, and the internal Ethernet switch) into
an SHDSL line. This mode means time slot multiplexing from E1, Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 and
Ethernet network interface into the SHDSL line. The distribution of SHDSL time slots is performed
as follows:
time slots of the first E1, chosen for transmission in the SHDSL line interface in the ascending
order, are transmitted in time slots from 0 to m1-1
time slots of the second E1, chosen for transmission in the SHDSL line interface in the
ascending order, are transmitted in time slots from m1 to m1+m2-1
Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data is transmitted in time slots from m1+m2 to m1+m2+m3-1
Ethernet data is transmitted in time slots from m1+m2+m3 to n-1
Here
n is the total number of transmitted SHDSL time slots
m1 is the number of time slots from the first E1 selected for transmission into SHDSL
m2 is the number of time slots from the second E1 selected for transmission into SHDSL
m3 is the numer of time slots required for Nx64/RS-232/RS-485 data
Note: A part of time slots of an E1 interface can be used to transmit data from the WAN2 port of the
internal Ethernet switch.
