No alarms are generated for Administered Temporary Signaling Connections
(TSC-ADM, also called ADM TSCs).
(TSC-ADM, also called ADM TSCs).
Administered temporary signaling connections provide a path through ISDN-PRI
networks for supplementary D-channel messages. ISDN-PRI applications such
as the Distributed Communications System (DCS) use temporary signaling
connections to exchange user information across an ISDN-PRI network. What
makes Administered TSCs unique is that these particular TSCs stay active for an
extended period of time, similar to a permanent data connection. These ADM
TSCs are used for DCS features that require Non-Call Associated (NCA) TSCs,
and the ADM TSC provides the logical channel function in a DCS network.

An NCA TSC is a virtual connection established within a D-channel without
associating any B-channel connections. The connection provides user-to-user
service by exchanging USER INFORMATION messages without associated
B-channel connections.

ISDN-PRI D-channel. The ADM TSC has an administratively defined endpoint
and is established for an extended period of time.
There are two types of ADM TSCs:
■
Permanent
These are established by the originating PBX (Near-end ADM TSC) or by
the terminating PBX (Far-end ADM TSC). Once these ADM TSCs are
established, they remain active.

established, they remain active.
■
As-Needed
These are established only when needed.
ADM TSC maintenance provides a strategy to verify that a far-end can respond
to an ISDN-PRI USER INFORMATION TSC heartbeat message, thereby
indicating that user-user signaling is functioning. In addition, maintenance can
retrieve the status of the ADM TSC’s connection state.

retrieve the status of the ADM TSC’s connection state.
Since ADM TSCs are administered on a per signaling group basis, the health of
an ADM TSC also depends on the state of the D-channel or D-channel pair
administered per signaling group. Refer to ISDN-SGR documentation for details
on ISDN-PRI NFAS and D-channel Backup maintenance.
