An E1 is the European version of our T1. An E1 frame has 32 channels. The first channel is channel 0. All 8 bits of channel 0 are used for framing. Channels 1 to 15 are used for data or voice and no bit robbing is used or needed. Channel 16 is used for control information on all the voice and data channels. Channels 17 to 31 are also for voice or data.
