TsLink3 T1 RBS and E1 CAS R2
TsLink3 T1 Robbed-bit Signaling (RBS) and E1 Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) R2 Software Development Kits (SDKs) are proven software solutions delivered in ANSI C source code format. Each SDK includes a protocol stack, source code library, and device driver to provide an advanced starting point and accelerate the development and conformance testing of in-band signaling products.
T1 RBS is used primarily in North America. E1 CAS R2 is used widely throughout South America, China, Asia, India and Europe. The TsLink3 RBS SDK and the TsLink3 CAS R2 SDK are available as separate or combined source code stacks.
TsLink3 RBS and TsLink3 CAS R2 are available integrated with the TsLink3 Q.931 and Q.921 ISDN source code modules with support for: Multi Level Precedence and Preemption, Supplementary Services, AutoSPID, Autoswitch Detection, NFAS, D-Channel Backup and Physical Layer drivers.

TeleSoft Advantages
TsLink3 software stacks are specifically architected for all types of embedded and host-based applications and are optimized for excellent performance and small code size.
Written in ANSI C and delivered as source code SDKs ported to a defined RTOS of your choice, TsLink3 stacks give you an advanced starting point to shorten your development schedule, minimize technical risk and maintain the flexibility to exercise full control over your end product.
All TsLink3 protocol software stacks are based on a Standard Core Architecture (SCA) with a Universal API (UAPI) that enables easy migration between different stacks and portability to different software/hardware platforms.
Universal Application Programming Interface (UAPI)
TsLink3 code includes a rich message-based Universal API (UAPI) which presents a simple interface for simple applications such as "signaling-only." UAPI also provides the versatility and power needed to support more complex configurations which combine signaling with data protocols or with specialized hardware. The TsLink3 Universal API coupled with the straightforward structure of the TsLink3 protocol stack enables you to easily follow the API message flow through the code to determine where to make modifications required for your application.
The majority of simple signaling-only applications require a very small subset of the TsLink3 API messages and parameters - and the non-applicable messages can be disregarded and unused parameters set to zero. More complex applications benefit from the large set of messages and parameters that we provide as templates.
UAPI is common across all TeleSoft stacks which decreases the time and effort required to add upgrade modules to an existing TsLink3 stack and to develop with additional TeleSoft stacks.
Software Tools
Internal Protocol State Logging Tool and Debugging Tool are invaluable aids during portation and integration, included with every TsLink3 stack at no additional charge.
Purchasing TsLink3 Software
TsLink3 Source Code is supplied in comprehensive, portable packages of 'C' source code modules and interfaces necessary to develop robust products. Source Code packages provide source code from Layer 1 device driver software up through the Layer 3/Layer 4 interface of the OSI model.

Well-Structured, Maintainable Code
Maintainability and scalability are designed into each TsLink3 stack. Comprehensive comments and documentation support you as your product goes forward. The value of TsLink3 stacks will be evident in each phase of your engineering schedule and the product life span.
Shorter Learning Curve & Faster Customization
- ITU-T primitives and software structure – make it easy to relate TsLink3 code to other ITU-T based protocols.
- ETSI/ECMA compliant code - ensures interoperation with other equipment (e.g., PBX) that is ETSI/ECMA compliant.
- ‘C’ switch statements that closely correspond to the ITU-T standard - straightforward to read and modify code, and locate the event/state action points in the ITU-T standard.
- Adherence to ANSI ‘C’ standards – provides for full portability.
- OS-independence - choice of RTOS, not locked into a single vendor.
- Processor-independence - enables mobility across CPU platforms.
- Simple state machine design - easy to understand and change code for national specific variants.
- Consult with our experienced engineers early to avoid expensive pitfalls later.
Faster debugging
- Specific defined constants, comment strings and variable naming - supports use of text search techniques to quickly locate a specific section of code and determine the side effects of changes that are being considered.
- ITU-T primitives and software structure - clear traceable dataflow.
