So, from the replies I have seen, the SLC96 is more of a remote switch, being that DS0 channels aren't really dedicated to a particular customer. They are more like trunks on a PRI, where the 1:1 ratio as with a T1 isn't the case. Channels are siezed and utilized on an as-needed basis. Correct?
I can tell you're still a bit confused here...
SLC 96 is still a fixed ratio; it's just that one DS0 channel can be subdivided further to serve more than one dial tone service.
A SLC96 set up in Mode II and GR-303 acts very much just like a remote switch... BUT it has absolutey no intelligence in it... It's more or less just a pathway to the host switch.
