ALERT! This procedure is service-affecting.

In the System Configuration screen, you can specify whether the system’s
DS1 signal type is T1, one of two types of E1, or mixed T1’s and E1’s.
When you select T1, all 28 channels become T1, and the Line Code choic-

the configuration:

21 channels become E1, channels 22 through 28 become unavailable,
