Abstract
In order to configure and monitor the operation of a span-powered T1 radio, use is made of the out-of-band facility data link channel that is available within an extended superframe of the T1 digital data stream transported between an indoor carrier services unit and the T1 framer of the radio. The facility data link channel is employed to transport packetized configuration and status information between the indoor carrier service unit and the span-powered T1 radio.
