Architecture
The main functional blocks of the NTAK79 architecture include:
• DS-30X interface
• A07 signaling interface
• digital pad
• carrier interface
• CEPT transceiver
•SLIP control
• D-channel support interface
• 8031 microcontroller
• Card-LAN / echo / test port interface
DS-30X interface
The NTAK79 interfaces to one DS-30X bus which contains 32
byte-interleaved timeslots operating at 2.56 Mb. Each timeslot contains
10 bits in A10 message format; eight are assigned to voice/data (64 kbps),
one to signaling (8 kbps), and one is a data valid bit (8 kbps).
