No alarms are generated for Administered Temporary Signaling Connections (TSC-ADM, also 
called ADM TSCs).
Administered temporary signaling connections (TSC) 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.
An Administered TSC is a special NCA TSC defined for the DCS over the 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.
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.
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. 
See 
on page 1429 documentation for details on 
ISDN-PRI NFAS and D-channel backup maintenance.
