Dear Mike, According to PROY-NOM-018-SCT1-1993 and PROY-NOM-019-SCT1-1993 they use A-law. An E1 interface standard draft was just issued(PROY stands for Draft or Planned or Proposed) PROY-NOM-152-SCT1-1999. This last standards deals with such issues as CRC-4, connectors and impedance. The former standards, that is PROY-NOM-018-SCTI-1993 and PROY-NOM-SCT1-1993 deal with 2048 megabit protocol/coding issues and analog coding issues respectively. Both have very long titles. If you are interested in how to locate these standards let me know and I will send you the details. I have translated the first 2 standards and have not yet started on the last one. However for the translations I would have to charge.
