Study Notes
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH)
- PDH is a digital hierarchy developed by Dr. Subodha Gunawardena
- It consists of multiple levels, with each level having a specific number of 64Kbps channels
- The hierarchy has different standards for North America, Europe, and Japan
Digital Mux Level
- Level 0: 1 x 64Kbps channel
- Level 1: 24 x 64Kbps channels = 1.544Mbps (T1 in North America, E1 in Europe)
- Level 2: 3 x 64Kbps channels = 1.544Mbps (T2 in North America, E2 in Europe)
- Level 3: 48 x 64Kbps channels = 3.152Mbps
- Level 4: 96 x 64Kbps channels = 6.312Mbps
- Level 5: 120 x 64Kbps channels = 8.448Mbps
ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
- ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network
- ISDN has three standards: E (Equipment), I (Ideas), and S (Signaling/Switching)
- Access options include BRI (Basic Rate Interface) and PRI (Primary Rate Interface)
BRI (Basic Rate Interface)
- 2 x B channels (64Kbps each) and 1 x D channel (16Kbps)
- Used for small-scale applications
PRI (Primary Rate Interface)
- North American standard: 23 x B channels (64Kbps each) and 1 x D channel (64Kbps) = 1.544Mbps (full T1 link)
- European standard: 30 x B channels (64Kbps each) and 1 x D channel (64Kbps) and 1 frame synchronization channel = 2.048Mbps (full E1 link)
ISDN Terminals and Network Termination
- Terminal equipment type 1 (TE1): Specialized ISDN terminals that connect to the ISDN network through a four-wire, twisted-pair digital link
- Terminal equipment type 2 (TE2): Non-ISDN terminals that connect to the ISDN network through a terminal adapter (TA)
- Terminal adapter (TA): Connects non-ISDN TE2 devices to the ISDN network
- Network termination type 1 (NT1): Connects customer premises equipment to the ISDN network, covering the physical layer
- Network termination type 2 (NT2): Connects multiple customer premises equipment to NT1, mostly found in PBXs
