S interface
The S interface or S reference point, also known as S0, is a User–network interface reference point for basic rate access in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environment, that
- is characterized by a Four-wire circuit, 144 kbit/s (2B+D) user rate,
- serves as a universal interface between ISDN terminals or terminal adapters and the network channel termination,
- allows a variety of terminal types and subscriber networks, such as PBXs, local area networks (LANs), and controllers, to be connected to the network, and
- operates at 4000 48 bit frames per second, i.e., 192 kbit/s, with a user portion of 36 bits per frame, i.e., 144 kbit/s.[1]
The S interface is electrically equivalent to the T interface, and the two are jointly referred to as the S/T interface.[2]
