37 • RBS interface configuration

 

 

Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of RBS interfaces, and the tasks involved in their configuration. This chap- ter does not explain the basic configuration steps equal to all CS interfaces. Information about basic interface configuration can be found in the general chapter about CS interface configuration (see Chapter 33, “CS inter- face configuration” on page 381). An RBS interface represents the connection of a T1 timeslot or of a group of timeslots. For every timeslot bound to the interface exist a RBS protocol endpoint that masters incoming and outgoing calls, controls the B-channel and provides different services. A RBS interface can encapsulate sub- scriber and exchange side of the following protocols: Loop Start, Ground Start, E&M Immediate Start, E&M Wink Start, E&M Double Wink Start. The settings are automatically taken from the RBS protocol that binds to the interface and changes of the protocol configuration are automatically reflected on the interface. See Chapter 20, “RBS configuration” on page 225 for more details.

Configuring an alternate Tone-Set profile

Configuring B-Channel allocation strategy

Configuring additional disconnect signals

Creating/Deleting a RBS interface

Interface names can be any arbitrary string. Use self-explanatory names for your interfaces to reflect their usage in your application. After creating the RBS interface, it is necessary to bind the requested RBS proto- col to it. See Chapter 20, “RBS configuration” on page 225 for more details.

Configuring an alternate PSTN profile

The PSTN profile contains the configuration for data/voice transmission on circuit-switched channels (see Chapter 48, “PSTN profile configuration” on page 597). In the case of RBS interfaces, the PSTN profile applies to the B-Channels of the timeslots associated with the interface.

There is a PSTN profile named default, which always exists in the system. If no different PSTN profile name is explicitly configured on the RBS interface, the profile default is used.
