(like a DSU/CSU), this parameter must be set to “DTE” (valid only for Packet
mode, not TDM).
Values: DCE, DTE
Default: DCE
NOTICE:
DTE mode requires the use of an optional DTE cable. Refer to
Appendix A, “Specifications,” for ordering information.
Packet Rate
If the port is running in Packet mode, the Rate must be configured to the
desired port speed (in bits per second). In TDM mode, the port speed rate will
be set by configuring the next four parameters (Start Channel, Number of
Channels, Bundling, and Channel Rate).
Values: Nx56K or Nx64K where N = 1-32
Default: 1536 kbps
Bundling
Selects whether the DTE channel assignment is made as a “Contiguous”
group or as “Alternate” channels. Selecting “Alternate” ensures ones density.
Because the unit allows individual channels to be configured for a service, a
value of “Arbitrary” will be returned for this parameter if the current channel
allocation is not contiguous or Alternate. The “Arbitrary” value can only be
supplied by the unit
−
it cannot be set by the user.
Values: Contiguous, Alternate, Arbitrary
Default: Contiguous
NOTICE:
Because “Alternate” Bundling assigns every other channel, only half
the channels are available.
Start Channel
Selects the starting channel in the 24-channel DS1 bit stream. Starting with
the specified channel, the unit automatically assigns the channels that follow.
Values: 1 through 24
Default: 1
# of Channels
Specifies the number of channels to be assigned to the DTE.
Values: 0 through 24
Default: 24 Channel Rate
Channel Rate
The unit can operate at any data rate that is a multiple of 56 or 64 kbps. If
“
Ν
x64K” is selected, the ones density requirements of the T1 network line
must be ensured. If “
Ν
x56K” is selected, ones density for the selected DS0
channel is maintained.
Values: Nx56K, Nx64K
Default: Nx64K
NOTICE:
Start Channel, Number of Channels, and Channel Rate cannot be
changed if Bundling is not also changed from “Arbitrary.”
