Each cabinet contains one or more shelves, or carriers with slots. Each shelf in the PBX accepts a certain number of circuit boards. There are different types of circuit boards within a PBX, including the following: • Both-way trunk circuit boards—Supports both-way trunks or combination trunks that receive incoming calls or place outgoing calls. • DID trunk circuit boards—Support a special type of trunk used for incoming direct inward dialing (DID) calls only. • Universal trunk circuit boards—Mix both-way trunks, DID trunks, loop-start tie trunks on the same board. Also support Recorded ANnouncement (RAN), overhead paging, and music-on-hold. • ISDN circuit boards—Support lines connecting the PBX and another device over an ISDN PRI or BRI. PRI and U-Interface BRI are point- to-point. S/T-Interface BRI is point-to-multipoint.

Most analog Ear and Mouth (E&M) tie- trunk circuit boards handle two or four tie trunks. • T1/E1 circuit boards—Multiplexers that support a high-capacity T1 or E1 circuit, enabling up to 24 (T1) or 30 (E1) voice conversations at one time. Recall that T1 is the term used for a DS-1 signal carried over two copper pairs. T1 is a type of line that is not a signaling type. • Digital telephone circuit boards—Support digital telephones. The analog voice signal converts to a digital form at the telephone and goes back to the PBX as pulse code modulated (PCM) encoded bytes. • Analog telephone circuit boards—Support analog telephones, as well as fax machines, computer modems, and any other device which utilizes a plain old telephone service (POTS)-type loop start analog interface. • DTMF receiver circuit boards—Contain dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) receivers. • MF receiver circuit boards -Contain multifrequency (MF) receivers. • Tone sender boards -Generate all the tones for a system, including dial tone, busy tone, DTMF, MF, and CLASS. • Common control circuit boards—Central processing unit of the PBX. When two PBXs communicate over non-ISDN tie trunks, they can use E&M signaling, among others.

The actual connections are from the PBX to the local exchange carrier (LEC), for example, the central office (CO) switch then to a LEC tandem switch. From there the connection is made to an inter exchange carrier’s (IXC) point-of-presence (POP), then into the IXC network cloud. The connections at the other end follow the reverse path. Tie-trunks are generally cross-connected (hard-wired) instead of switched at the LEC (CO) and IXC level. If they are configured to go into a LEC/IXC switch, they are configured as dedicated nailed-up circuits.

The lists of items for each layer are illustrative and not complete. You may also think about other components that provide line and trunk supervision and signaling methods:. For analog and channel associated signaling (CAS): • Seizure and disconnect supervision: loop-start, ground start, E&M, loop dial repeating • (Dial) starting arrangements: Wink-start, immediate dial, delay dial • Addressing methods: DTMF, MF, dial pulse • Answer supervision: Battery reversal, E&M control lead signaling For ISDN: • Access line type: BRI (DSL), PRI (T1 or E1) • Line protocol: For BRI: U (2B1Q) or S/T (pseudo-ternary); for PRI: DS1 or E1 • D channel protocol: NI-2, QSIG, DMS custom, AT&T custom, Nortel MCDN custom Designing Voice over Data—PBX Integration with Data Networks Copyright © 1999, Cisco Systems, Inc. 2-10 Networking - 791-10 Designing Voice over Data —PBX Integration with Data Networks © 2000, Cisco Systems, Inc. www.cisco.com PBX Circuit Types PBX Circuit Types SwitchSwitch SwitchSwitch Central Office Central Office (CO) “FX” Tie Lines Analog 2/4 wire type 1-5 Digital 2/4 wire Analog 2 wire 2 wire E&M, 2/4 wire 5 types “FX” Analog 2/4 wire type 1-5 1 3 4 5 6 T1 tie line FXO interface FXO interface 2 Analog Analog trunk circuits connect automated systems (such as a PBX) and the network (such as a central office). The most common form of analog tie trunk is the E&M interface. Like a serial port, E&M has a DTE/DCE type of reference. In the telecom world, the “trunking” side is similar to the DCE, and is usually associated with CO functionality. The Cisco 3600 acts as this side of the interface. The other side is referred to as the “signaling” side, like a DTE, and is usually a device such as a PBX. There are five distinct physical configurations for the E&M interface (types 1-5), and two distinct flavors of audio interface (2-wire or 4-wire). Note that even though it may be called a 4-wire E&M circuit, it is likely to have 6 to 8 physical wires! The difference between a 2-wire and 4-wire circuit is whether the audio path is full duplex on one pair or two pairs of wires. The foreign exchange office (FXO) interface (typically an interface card) supports the CO side loop-start line. The foreign exchange station (FXS) supports the station-side of the loop-start line. Foreign exchange (FX) is the term used historically to describe the PBX or telephone instrument connection to a remote CO. Typically the “FX line” was used to get local, toll-free dialing in another LATA. Digital Digital T1/E1trunk circuits are 4 wire. In Europe, and soon in North America, ISDN BRI can be used as a trunk. The BRI U-interface is 2-wire. Subscriber lines may be 2- or 4-wire. They support several typical analog signaling protocols, both in-band and out-of-band, ISDN, and analog emulation. [...]...
