A T loop provides lines that can be shared by all Enterprise Edge telephones,
peripherals and applications, and ISDN TE.
A T loop can be used in combination with an S loop to provide D-packet service for
a point-of-sale terminal adapter (POSTA) or other D-packet device. D-packet
service is a 16 kbps data transmission service that uses the D-channel of an ISDN
line.
To deliver D-packet service, a network connection (T loop) is programmed to work
with a terminal connection (S loop). The loops must be on the same physical
module.
Clock Source for ISDN
SystemswithISDNinterfacesneed to synchronize clockingwiththe ISDN network
and any ISDN terminal equipment connected to the network. Systems synchronize
clocking to the first functionally available network connection. If there are
excessive errors on the reference network connection, the next available network
connection is used for clock synchronization. The clock synchronization process
generates alarm codes and event messages. Clock synchronization is supported by
the Digital Trunk Media Bay Module, BRI S/T Media Bay Module and the Fiber
Expansion Media Bay Module.
The Enterprise Edge derives timing from the network using T reference points
(loops). Terminal equipment on S reference points (loops) derive timing from the
Enterprise Edge system.
When you configure the network connections to the Enterprise Edge, you should
take into account the system preferences for selecting loops for synchronization:
• lower numbered loops have preference over higher numbered loops
• the loop preference order is: 201, 202, 203, 204 etc.
• the system skips S and analog loops on Mod2 Card 1, when selecting a network
connection for synchronization
SystemswithonlySloopsact as timingmastersfortheattached terminal equipment
(TE), and are not synchronized to the network. ISDN TE without access to a
network connection (BRI lines) has limited or no functionality.
