2.2 Interfaces
PEB 2084, QUAT-S, provides four independent S/T interfaces, one IOM-2 interface and
one JTAG boundary scan test interface.
2.2.1 S/T Interface
Frame Structure
One frame consists of 48 bits, at a nominal bit rate of 192 kbit/s. Thus each frame carries
two octets of B1, two octets of B2 and 4 bits of D-channel, according to the B1+B2+D
structure defined for the ISDN basic access (the total user data rate is 144 kbit/s). The
beginning of the frame is marked with a F-bit using a code violation (no Mark inversion).
The frame structures for data downstream (from network to subscriber) and for data
upstream (from subscriber to network) are shown in figure 3.

The E-bit (= Echo bit to the D-channel bit) can be controlled via C/I channel and may be
used to carry the “available” / “blocked” information sent by ELIC, PEB 20550. Refer to
chapter 3.3.3.
