3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02 149 / 168


7.1.2.5 Modify Abis MappingAbis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs andtheir signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for eachTRE in the order of selection. For instance if TRE 1 and TRE 4 are selected,then time slots 1, 2 are allocated to TRE1 and time slots 4, 5 to TRE 4 (timeslot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocatedTCHs and time slots, as required.

The current configuration can be displayed, by clicking on [ Get Config ].

Change Signal Multiplexing The Signalling drop-down menu allows you tochange the mode of Signal Multiplexing. This defines how many time slots onthe Abis Interface are occupied by signaling traffic for a given number of TCHs.

Modify Abis Mapping -64 kbit/s You can assign 64 kBit signaling channelsto Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic timeslots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system,but manual allocation is possible.

The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight timeslots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocationof time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays awarning message and aborts the configuration.

To modify the Abis Mapping, using 64 kbit/s:



2. Click on the required TRE check box.

The TRE is automatically assigned two TCHs and a signaling time slot. Thesignaling is automatically set to 64 kBit.

3. Repeat Step (2) until all required TREs are assigned.

If a data transmission rate of 64 kBit for signaling (per two traffic channels) isselected, a maximum of 10 TREs can be assigned. If you attempt to exceedthis number, a warning message is displayed.

In the event that more than 10 TREs require assignment to a single Abislink, a reduction of the data transmission rate is required, refer to AbisMapping 16 kbit/s.

4. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation.


150 / 168 3BK 21260 AAAA PCZZA Ed.02


Modify Abis Mapping -16 kbit/s You can assign 16 kBit signaling channelsto Traffic Channels on the Abis interface. Upon selection, the traffic timeslots and the signaling time slot are automatically allocated by the system,but manual allocation is possible.

The automatic allocation in TREs (in groups of four TREs, where eight timeslots are allocated to traffic and one to signaling) prevents improper allocationof time slots. If any manual allocation is incorrect, the system displays awarning message and aborts the configuration, upon attempted transmission.

To modify the Abis Mapping, using 16 kbit:

1. Open the Transmission Settings window by selecting:

Settings -> Transmission -> Board ConfigurationThe SUM Board Configuration window displayed. Wait until the currentconfiguration is displayed.

2. Select the required TRE check box.

3. Select [ Enable 16 kBit ] for the appropriate group, each group contains fourTREs, or select the required Nibble manually.

The signaling rate is automatically set to 16 kBit, using all eight bits per timeslot. The 16 kBit rate provides four Nibbles of two bits (numbered 0 to 3) toeach signaling time slot of a TRE.

4. Repeat Step 2 until all required TREs are assigned.

5. Edit the TCH or time slot allocation, if required.
