_

—Requires a ‘‘circuit-switched’’ transmission facility

Applications:

There are two uses of mode 0. They are:

(a)8-bit PCM voice (no robbed-bit or inband signaling is allowed)

(b)64-kbps user data.

Description:

With 64-kbps data, nothing is known about the structure of the information in the channel. Therefore, a

64-kbps data channel (DCP I-channel) is required end-to-end. With 64-kbps mu=255 PCM voice, standard transformations to other channel types such as analog are possible. Therefore, mode-0 data calls require an end-to-end 64-kbps digital facility, but mode-0 voice calls can use analog, digital, or a combination of both types of facilities. This distinction of whether the channel is to be used for voice or data is an important administration consideration.

Note: For DCP applications that use mode 0, the switched facilities are set up/taken down by S-channel signaling. For DS1 and DMI/BOS applications that use mode-0 channels, the switched facilities (channels) are seized/dropped by signaling commands on the 24th channel.

Data Mode 1

Capabilities:

—56 kbps

—Full-duplex operation

—Synchronous transmission of user data (slave timing)

—Requires a ‘‘circuit-switched’’ transmission facility

Applications:

There are three distinct uses of mode 1. They consist of one on-premises and two off-premises applications. They are:

(a)DDS Data Service Unit (DSU) emulation (e.g., on-premises MPDM-switch-MPDM arrangement)

(b)DSU off-premises (e.g., ACCUNET Switched 56-kbps Service)

(c)T1 facilities (e.g., via a CDM, 753 T-MUX, D4/D5 channel bank, or other compatible equipment)

Description:

When a data channel is operated in data mode 1, each octet is subdivided into two fields. The first field consists of the first seven bits (D1-D7). The second or status field consists of bit (D8). The first field contains either customer data or a control state code which is dependent upon the state of the status bit (0/1). Figure D-3depicts the mode 1 field and frame’s organization. The figure also shows how mode 1
