VERVIEW
The E1 interface provides a transmission rate of 2.048 Mbps. It can support up to
32 user channels, though usually 31 channels are used as dedicated user
channels in framed mode.
An E1 basic frame is made up of 256 bits, 32 timeslots, each containing 8 bits.
Each timeslot provides a 64 Kbps data throughput. An E1 line connects two points
in one of which, the information is multiplexed and in the second demultiplexed.
