Modify Abis Time Slot Mapping

Modifying the Abis Mapping changes the time slot in which the data transmission
occurs. The following number of time slots can be mapped: 32 time slots per
interface, labeled 1 to 31 (0 (zero) is not allowed).

Modify Qmux Nibble Value

Each time slot contains 4 nibbles of 2 bits, i.e., 8 bits in total. As the Qmux does
not require an entire time slot, the Nibble value indicates the location of the Qmux transmission in time slot
(0 to 3) specified in the Qmux Abis Mapping dialog box.

Prepared By: RIZWAN AHMED RAFIQ 37 of

Engineer ( Training & Consultancy )


45
Modify Abis Mapping

Abis mapping allows you to modify the configuration of TREs to TCHs and their
signaling time slots. The system automatically defines the TCH for each TRE 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 (time slot 3 is allocated to signaling). The system allows you to manually allocated TCHs
and time slots, as required.
The current configuration can be displayed, by clicking on [ Get Config ].
