D-channel interface

The D-channel interface is a 64 Kbps maximum, full-duplex, serial
bit-stream configured as a DCE device. The data signals include receive
data output, transmit data input, receive clock output, and transmit clock
output. The receive and transmit clocks can vary slightly from each other
as determined by the transmit and receive carrier clocks.

Feature selection through software configuration for the D-channel
includes:

56 Kbps

64 Kbps clear

64 Kbps inverted (64 Kbps restricted)

DCHI can be enabled and disabled independent of the PRI card, as long
as the PRI card is inserted in its cabinet slot. The D-channel data link
cannot be established however, unless the PRI loop is enabled.
