FTZ 1 TR 6
Encyclopedia
FTZ 1 TR 6 is the standard for the obsolete German
national digital
signalling protocol (D channel
protocol) used for the ISDN
. It has been superseded by DSS1 but is still in use on some lines and private exchanges.
1 TR 6 did not support multiple subscriber numbers
but featured an Endgeräteauswahlziffer (EAZ, German "user device selection digit"). ISDN subscribers would get a sequence of 10 subsequent subscriber numbers, the last digit of which being the EAZ. The EAZ "0" was used for "global calls" to all connected devices.
1 TR 6 also offered semipermanent connections, which were (comparatively cheap) leased line
s that could be temporarily disabled to use the B channel
for other purposes.
It is said that the "TR" simply stands for "technische Richtlinie" (technical guideline).

D channel is a telecommunications term which refers to the ISDN channel in which the control and signalling information is carried.The bit rate of the D channel of a basic rate interface is 16 kbit/s, whereas it amounts to 64 kbit/s on a primary rate interface.For DSS1 signalling, the D channel...

Multiple Subscriber Number
Multiple Subscriber Number - a telephone number associated with an ETS 300 BRI line. Providers of ETS 300 often give you three MSNs with a BRI, although additional MSNs can be purchased. An ISDN terminal will "ring" only when calls are made to the MSN entered in that terminal...

Leased line
A leased line is a service contract between a provider and a customer, whereby the provider agrees to deliver a symmetric telecommunications line connecting two or more locations in exchange for a monthly rent . It is sometimes known as a 'Private Circuit' or 'Data Line' in the UK or as CDN in Italy...
