 Event information Date Date of the event in the format: hh:mm:ss/xxx.y  
N The interface number which identifies the Clarinet-interface connected to the host.
Link type

Native ISDN PRI (E1) physical event

The ISDN PRI (E1) physical events are generated by the analysis process on the PH link when the physical interface type is based on ISDN PRI (E1 Trunk):

  • Every transition of state of the physical interface (frame alarm, multiframe alarm, info bit) generates an event.
  • Additional events can be generated upon detection of a clock slip or an errored CRC4 value.

The binary event structure is defined in the Clarinet-API.

The edition of the ISDN PRI (E1) physical events without any decoding/formatting allows to display the successive states of the physical interface.
