ISDN: Architecture, Interface, and Signaling
ISDN allows digital signals to be transmitted over existing telephone wiring. The component which are not compatible with ISDN requires TA which converts signals so, non-ISDN devices can use ISDN. ISDN provides Basic rate Interface service and Primary Rate Interface.
Summary
ISDN allows digital signals to be transmitted over existing telephone wiring. The component which are not compatible with ISDN requires TA which converts signals so, non-ISDN devices can use ISDN. ISDN provides Basic rate Interface service and Primary Rate Interface.
Things to Remember
ISDN allows digital signals to be transmitted over existing telephone wiring.
The ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) service offers two B channels and one D channel (2B+D).
The ISDN PRI services used 23 B channel accesses and used the 24th D channel for signaling purpose.

ISDN: Architecture, Interface, and Signaling
ISDN
The traditional PSTN used an analog connection for communicating between the customer premises and the local exchange, also known as the local loop. The analog circuits cause the limitations on the bandwidth in the local loop.So, ISDN was developed with the intention of creating a totally digital network. ISDN technology allows digital signals to be sent over existing telephone line. It can transfer many types of network traffics like voice, data, video, graphic, etc.

ISDN Components
TE1 - Device compatible with ISDN network, connects to NT2
TE2 - Device not compatible with ISDN requires TA
TA - (terminal Adapter) Converts signals so, non-ISDN devices can use ISDN
NT1 - Connects 4-wire ISDN to 2-wire local loop
NT2 - Directs traffic to and from different subscriber devices and NT1
ISDN Reference Points
R: References the connection between a non-ISDN compatible device Terminal Equipment type 2 (TE2) and a Terminal Adapter (TA), for example, an RS-232 serial interface.
S: References the points that connect into the customer switching device Network Termination type 2 (NT2) and enables calls between the various types of customer premises equipment.
T: Electrically identical to the S interface, it references the outbound connection from the NT2 to the ISDN network or Network Termination type 1 (NT1).
U: References the connection between the NT1 and the ISDN network owned by the telephone company.
ISDN Services
- BRI: The ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) service offers two B channels and one D channel (2B+D). Each BRI B channel operates at 64 kbps and is meant to carry user data. The BRI D channel operates at 16 kbps and is meant to carry control and signaling information, although it can support user data transmission under certain circumstances.
- PRI: PRI stands for Primary Rate Interface. The bandwidth is divided into 24 64KB channels. The ISDN PRI services used 23 B channel accesses and used the 24th D channel for signaling purpose.
