62Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance

During call setup, the following information is passed between the BCM and the CO:

1Dialed digits — Dialed digits are passed without any change. Up to 24 digits can be dialed. The MFC trunk is capable of repeating dialed digits on outgoing calls to the CO, when requested according to protocol.

Digits are passed immediately to BCM as they are received (PRI overlap mode) on incoming calls from CO to BCM. This causes the BCM to determine end of dialing, and to immediately signal call completion.

2Calling number — (in PRI: CLID; in MFC: ANI) This number is passed without any change, and can be up to 16 digits long.

3Termination status — Termination status is translated as presented in the Table 9. The table shows both directions. When translating a signal, only the bold value is used.

Table 9 Translation of Subscriber Status

Subscriber State	PRI Signal	MFC Signal1

Free (ringing)	ALERTING	BW_FreeCharge (B6)
		BW_FreeNoChrg (B7)

Busy	Cause 17	BW_Busy (B3)

Unallocated number	Cause 1	BW_Unlocated (B5)

Network congestion	Cause 42	BW_B_Congest (B4)
or general failure	All other values	Unknown signal

Line out of order	Cause 27	BW_OutOfOrder (B8)

Number changed	Cause 22	BW_ChangOrder (B2)

1 MFC signal is indicated by meaning. Actual signal depends on country; ITU/T standard is indicated in parentheses.

Other protocol-specific fields are not translated from side to side. They are handled as described Table 9 in the protocols implementation.

Clock synchronization

By default, the R2MFC MBM synchronizes on the external E1 line, and transmits this clock on the internal link to the BCM. By doing so, the BCM can synchronize on the external link.

Slips may occur between the BCM and the R2MFC MBM, if the BCM needs to synchronize on another digital trunk MBM. To avoid slips, there is an option for the R2MFC MBM to synchronize on the internal link to the BCM, instead of the external E1 line. Synchronization settings can be set up by using the CLI. See Chapter 7, “Command Line Interface (CLI),” on page 73 for commands available through the CLI.
