42 System description
(and later) D-channel only controls IP trunk cards in the same IP Trunk
3.01 (and later) node. TM 3.1 administration relates the cards with trunks
to the DCHIP IP trunk card.
The IP trunk card uses ISDN messages for call control and communicates
with the Meridian 1/CS 1000M through the PC Card, using the RS-422 link.
On the Meridian 1, the MSDL provides the ISLDCH interface. The DCHIP
IP trunk card software performs the tandeming of DCH call control to the
H.323 protocol.
Each DCHIP trunk card can be associated with up to 382 trunks. The tr unks
reside on all IP Trunk3.01 (and later) IP trunk cards (ITG-Pentium 24-port
trunk cards and Media Card 32-port trunk cards) in the node. This creates a
functional grouping of IP trunk cards with theDCHIP trunk card providing
the DCH connectivity. If more than 382 trunks are required, additional
DCHIP trunk card groups are configured, each with a maximum of 382
related trunks. See Figure 6 "Leader, DCHIP,and trunks in anIP Trunk 3.01
(and later) node" (page 42).
