ABSTRACT:
A reduced cost and hardware complexity ISDN channel bank architecture supports a plurality of Basic Rate-One Transmission Extension (BRITE) ISDN circuit cards. Rather than install a dedicated processor on each BRITE card or multiple BRITE circuits on one card, each BRITE circuit card of the channel bank has no processor of its own, but is instead controlled by a shared control processor on a separate bank controller card. Since each such `processorless` BRITE circuit card contains only single BRITE circuit, removal of any one BRITE circuit card from its backplane slot will not impair the operational integrity of the other BRITE cards, so that service to customer premises equipment terminating the local loops to such cards is not interrupted. The shared processor on the bank controller card executes the same single task communication control routine for plural BRITE cards.
