6.3. Protocols Supported

A standard ISDN interface providing 23 (T-1) or 30 (E-1) voice or data channels (B channels) and one signaling channel (D channel) is available. For a list of supported protocols, you can:

• check the Release Catalog for your system software
• contact your nearest sales office at http://www.intel.com/network/csp/sales
• visit the support website at http://developer.intel.com/design/telecom/support/

Each protocol is contained in a separate, modular binary file that can be installed and used as needed. This modular design simplifies adapting applications for use in numerous countries. User selectable options allow customization of the country dependent parameters to fit a particular application or configuration within a country (for example, switches within the same country may use the same protocol but may require different parameter values for local use). These parameters, such as trunk framing, trunk protocol type, D channel enable, inverted D channel data and layer 2 access enable, are specified in the PRM file (when using Springware boards) or in the CONFIG file (when using DM3 boards) and may be modified at configuration time (that is, at any time before starting your application).

Note: Only one protocol (or network emulation test protocol) may be downloaded to a board at a time.
