Associated Signaling
For FAS, the D-channel can carry signaling information only for B-channels located 
on the same DS1 circuit pack.
Primary D-channel
Enter a 6- to 7-character port number associated with the DS1 Interface circuit pack 
port. The port number assigns the primary D-channel in the Signaling Group. For 
24-channel facilities, the 24th port is assigned as the D-channel. For 32-channel 
facilities, the 16th port is assigned as the D-channel.Valid entries Usage

Secondary D-channel
Enter a 6- to 7-character port number associated with the DS1 Interface circuit pack 
port used for secondary D-channel signaling. Displays when the Associated Signaling 
field is n (indicates NFAS). The port number assigns the secondary D-channel in the 
Signaling Group. For 24-channel facilities, the 24th port is assigned as the D-channel. 
For 32-channel facilities, the 16th port is assigned as the D-channel.
Max Number of NCA TSC
The maximum number of simultaneous Non-Call Associated Temporary Signaling 
Connections (NCA-TSCs) that can exist in the Signaling Group. This number 
includes all NCA-TSCs that are administered on this screen and those NCA-TSCs 
that tandem through the switch in-route to another switch in the network.
Max number of CA TSC
The maximum number of simultaneous Call Associated Temporary Signaling 
Connections (CA-TSCs) that can exist in the Signaling Group. Typically, the number 
of ISDN-PRI trunk group members controlled by the Signaling Group.
Trunk Group For NCA TSC
The ISDN-PRI trunk group number whose incoming call handling table will be used 
to handle incoming NCA-TSCs through the Signaling Group. Enter the assigned 
ISDN-PRI trunk group number whose call handling table will be used to route the 
incoming NCA TSCs. (An ISDN-BRI trunk group may not be used.)Valid entries Usage

Trunk Group for Channel Selection
Enter the assigned trunk group number. (An ISDN-BRI trunk group may not be used.) 
Supplementary Service Protocol 
Determines whether AT&T NCA TSCs or QSIG NCA TSCs are sent over the 
interface. To change this field from a to b, first check the Adm’d NCA TSC Index 
field on the ISDN TSC Gateway Channel Assignments  (page 291). Make sure no 
NCA TSC on the Signaling Group screen is administered as a Gateway Channel. If 
they are, you must remove the NCA TSC Gateway assignment first before this field 
can be changed to b. 
Tru nk  Brd
Enter a 5-character DS1 Interface circuit pack number that has trunk members 
belonging to this Signaling Group. Displays when the Associated Signaling field is n 
(indicates NFAS).
Interface ID
In an NFAS Signaling Group, an Interface ID must be assigned to each DS1 facility 
so that it can be referenced by both interfacing switches. When a call is established 
between switches, the Interface ID at each end is used to determine which B-channel 
is to be used to establish the call. The Interface ID numbers on both ends must be the 
same. Displays when the Associated Signaling field is n (indicates NFAS). Enter an 
interface ID for the corresponding DS1 Interface circuit pack.Pages 2 through 5 of the 
screen.Valid entries Usage
