Setting the T1 Timeslot Configuration Table

The T1 Timeslot Configuration Table allows you to configure how your MicroMMAC utilizes the T1 line. The configuration table consists of 24 Timeslots, which appear as 01-08, 09-16, and 17-24. You must assign each Timeslot an Interface number (03-26, or 00 if the Timeslot is not used). When you lease an entire T1 line, you can use all 24 Timeslots (the full T1 bandwidth). If you lease only a fraction of the T1, the Telco carrier will tell you which Timeslots to use.

You can utilize Timeslots any way you choose. For example, if your MicroMMAC has access to a full T1 (24 Timeslots), and you want to communicate with two other MicroMMACs, your configuration could look like figure 3-2.
