Table 219
Insertion Loss from IPE Ports to IPE Ports (measured in dB)
The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by the
class-of-service (COS) you assign in the Trunk Data Block (LD 14).
Transmission properties may be via net loss (VNL) or non via net loss
(non-VNL).
Non-VNL trunks are assigned either a Transmission Compensated (TRC)
or Non-Transmission Compensated (NTC) class-of-service to ensure
stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul trunks, such as
Tie trunks. The class-of-service determines the operation of the switchable
PADs contained in each unit. They are assigned as follows:
• Transmission Compensated
— used for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater
than 2 dB for which impedance compensation is provided
— or used for a four-wire non-VNL facility
•
Non-Transmission Compensated
— used for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than
2 dB
— or used when impedance compensation is not provided
Table 220 "Insertion Loss from IPE Ports to IPE Ports (measured in
dB)" (page 602)
shows PAD settings and the resulting port-to-port loss
for connections between the Universal Trunk Card (UTC) and any other
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) or Peripheral Equipment (PE) unit,
denoted as Port B
