Without these patterns on the idle timeslots, instability of the T1 signaling link may occur. All other idle timeslots that are not dropped by the EAGLE must contain an idle pattern provided by the remote network elements connected to both T1 ports (bridging master and slave). Idle patterns on the shadow channels, that is, the timeslots located on the bridging slave T1 port that have been not been dropped from the bridging master T1 port, are provided by the EAGLE.

There is a 1 to 1 correspondence between the timeslots on the bridging master and slave T1 ports.

This interface is a bi-directional interface so data is also able to enter the bridging slave (even) T1 port and leave the EAGLE through the bridging master (odd) T1 port.
