device or an E1 network. For other devices the clock source must be determined before
configuration. Select the correct configuration by clicking on the appropriate radio button.
If connecting two Eclipse HX matrices back to back using E1:
• An E1 or T1 crossover cable is required.
• One E-QUE card should be set to Local Generated clock and the other to Line
Recovery clock.
5.30.6 Codec
E-QUE cards configured as E1 Direct/Trunk use two cables plugged into ports 1 (top) and
5 (bottom) for the E-QUE card to provide E1 trunk ports.
The top cable (Top Half) provides the first 16 ports (17-32) and the bottom cable (Bottom
Half) provides the second 15 ports (33 - 48). The top and bottom cables can be configured
to use different Codecs. The Codecs that are available comprise:
• G722 - standard G722 conversion and compression.
• G722 A-Law - uses an A-law algorithm to optimize the G722 codec. This is often
used in European systems.
• G722 µ-Law - uses a µ-law algorithm to optimize the G722 codec. This is often
used in North America and Japan.
Click the appropriate radio button to select the Codecs for top and bottom cables.
5.31 T1 direct/trunk
The T1 Direct/Trunk is an E-QUE card that has been configured for 48 ports using T1
protocol. The first 24 are available to be set as T1 Directs, the second 30 are used as a
single T1 trunk connection (and shown only as Port 24 - as on a T1 trunking card).
5.31.1 Port function
This is always set to Direct except for the last port which is set to Trunk.
5.31.2 Label
Label for the port used to assign the port to a path. The label has 10 characters, or can be
