SA Register Contents

This field is a bit mask. The meaning of each bit is described as follows.
Unless otherwise stated, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled.


Bits 0–2 Reserved (must be 0)

Bit 3 Value to which all bits in SA Bit 4 Register are set.

Bit 4 Value to which all bits in SA Bit 5 Register are set.

Bit 5 Value to which all bits in SA Bit 6 Register are set.

Bit 6 Value to which all bits in SA Bit 7 Register are set.

Bit 7 Value to which all bits in SA Bit 8 Register are set.

:

TS 16 Register Contents

This field is a bit mask. The meaning of each bit is described below.
Unless otherwise stated, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled.


Bits 0–3 Reserved (must be 0)

Bit 4 Value to which spare bit x 1 in frame 0 of timeslot 16 is set.

Bit 5 Reserved (must be 0)

Bit 6 Value to which spare bit x 3 in frame 0 of timeslot 16 is set.

Bit 7 Value to which spare bit x 4 in frame 0 of timeslot 16 is set.

Checksum

NOTES

1. The Dialogic message bit-numbering format is 0–7, while the SA Register and TS 16 Register formats are 1–8. Therefore, bit 3 of the host message format is bit 4 of the SA Register and TS 16 Register formats, and so on.

2. This message is backward-compatible to previous software releases. If using a System Software 3.X Version 3.09 or earlier, the SA Register and TS 16 Register bits will be set to the default (1), and an E1 Span Query message will return a value of 0xF8 for the SA Register byte and 0xDO for the TS 16 Register byte.
