Frame structure: fields

bits 8 _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 field
octet 1 Address (High order octet)
octet 2 Address (Low order octet)
octet 3 Control
octets 4-n Optional information

Frame structure: address field

- Octet 1:
bits 8-6 Signalling type
bits 5-4 Channel type
bit 3 Reserved (set to 1)
bit 2 C/R: Command/Response
bit 1 Address field extension (0)
C/R value From network to user From user to network
0 Response Command
1 Command Response

- Octet 2:
bits 8-7 Reserved (set to 00)
bits 6-2 Time-Slot
bit 1 Address field extension (1)
TS Value
0 0 0 0 0 1 TS 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 TS 2
0 1 0 0 0 0 TS 16
1 1 1 1 1 1 TS 31

Frame structure: control field

The control field contains a command or a response.

U format

- Octet 3:
bits 8-6 M M M M: modifier function bit
bit 5 N Sequence Number of UI frame (modulo 2).
bits 4-3 M M M: modifier function bit
bits 2-1 1 1

The Sequence Number of each UI(Command) frame is defined as the Send Sequence Number N(P).

The Sequence Number of each UI(Response) frame is defined as the Received Sequence Number N(F).

bits M : 876 - 43 Command Response Frame designation
1 1 1 - 1 1 SABMR Set Asynchronous Balanced Restricted Mode
0 0 0 - 0 0 UI Unnumbered Information
0 1 1 - 0 0 UA Unnumbered Acknowledgement

The encoding values of the five M bits included in the first octet of the control field can also be listed and ordered according to their hexadecimal code or their type (mnemonic):

M format : codes

N=0 N=1 Type C/R Frame designation
03 13 UI C/R Unnumberd Information
63 UA R Unnumbered Acknowledgement
EF SABMR C Set Asynch. Balanced Mode Restricted

Note : Hexadecimal code corresponds to b8-b1 with N bit=0 or N bit=1.

M format : types

Type N=0 N=1 C/R Frame designation
SABMR EF C Set Asynch. Balanced Mode Restricted
UA 63 R Unnumbered Acknowledgement
UI 03 13 C/R Unnumberd Information

Note : Hexadecimal code corresponds to b8-b1 with N bit=0 or N bit=1.
