Cyclades-PR4000
Controller Menu CONFIG=>CONTROLLER=>T1/E1
Parameter Description
Frame Mode T1: ESF (Extended Super Frame, the most common) and D4 are the options.
E1: CRC4 (the most common) and Non-CRC4 are the options.
Line Code T1: B8ZS (Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution, the most common) and AMI (Alternate Mark
Inversion). E1: HDB3 (High-Density Bipolar) and AMI.
Signaling Mode None for channelized lines without signaling (see chapter 7), CCS for ISDN-PRI and CAS
for analog, modem-based remote access (usually used with telephone networks that do not
support ISDN).
Clock Mode Selects the clock mode: Master or Slave.
Line Build Out Applies only to T1. Sets the attenuation on the TX line. The T1 service provider should
supply this parameter.
Receiver
Sensitivity Short haul is usually used. Long haul is necessary if attenuation prevents reception of
data, usually when the router is installed more than 2000 feet from the cable termination.
Companding
Mode Defines the compression mode to be used. Depends on the telephone exchange and the
E1/T1 provider should supply this parameter.
A-law is usually used for E1 lines and u-law
is usually used for T1 lines.
Signaling Type Applies when Signaling Mode is CAS. Selects the signaling type. This should be supplied
by the service provider. The options are R2-Digital, ITU-T, and R2-Analog.
Tone Signaling Applies when Signaling Mode is CAS. Will depend on what is expected by the line provider.
DTMF is the most common tone signaling for T1 and MFR2 Compelled is the most
common for E1.
Country
Signaling Applies when Signaling Mode is CAS. Determines country-dependent signaling
parameters.
Switch Type Applies when Signaling Mode is CCS. Selects the signaling protocol. This should be
supplied by the service provider.
