7.2.1. T1/E1 Network Interfaces
Figure 7.2. T1/E1 Network Interfaces Initial Configuration
This menu allows you to display and configure T1/E1 Trunk parameters, Channels and the logical
interfaces that run on them. A table is presented for each interface.
Note that the interface number is the same regardless of whether it is a T1 or E1 interface. Interface
numbers are as described by the "WAN" labels as shown in the home page chassis diagram.
The status of the trunks physical and logical interfaces are shown This menu presents connection
statuses but does not update them in real time. Click on the Refresh this page link to update to the
current status.
7.2.1.1. Strategy For Creating Interfaces
Initially, each interface will be configured as T1 and will have a single channel that includes all
timeslots (1-24). Channelized cards can have their timeslots reassigned to make additional channels.
Unchannelized cards may have timeslots removed from their single timeslot.
If the interface is to be an E1, convert it using the “Edit T1-1 Parameters” link.
If the interface is channelized and you need to have more than one channel, construct the channel
groups with the desired bandwidths. This can be done by editing the single initially configured channel
and removing timeslots. The unassigned timeslots will be displayed on the main menu in a link that
creates channels, as shown below.
