Configuring Channelized Data

Configuring Channelized Data

Overview

 

Before you can use the Channelized Data option on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and

 

27x switch, you must configure the node for Channelized Data operation. This

 

section describes how to set up your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch for

 

Channelized Data operation.

Before You Begin

 

Refer to the following list to make sure you have everything you need before you

 

begin to configure the Channelized Data option:

 

• Install a T1/E1 card in slot 8 on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch.

 

• If you want to pass both voice and data traffic, or just data traffic, make sure a

 

2 Mbps T1/E1 card is installed properly in slot 8 on your PathBuilder S24x,

 

26x, and 27x switch. If you want to pass voice traffic only, you can use a 512

 

kbps T1/E1 card.

 

• Obtain the timeslot information from your network service provider. The

 

timeslot information is needed to configure virtual ports for all your remote

 

connections.

 

• Install the software release containing the Channelized Data option in your

 

PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch.

 

• Make a CTP connection to the CTP port on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and

 

27x switch and begin to configure the Channelized Data option.

Frame Relay

 

For Frame Relay applications, you must configure a port and a station for every

What You Have to You need to configure the following records and tables in your PathBuilder S24x,

for each connection between the Path-

 

 

Builder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch and a

 

 

remote node. See the “Configuring Vir-

 

 

tual Ports on the PathBuilder S24x, 26x,

 

 

and 27x Switch” section on page 5-18.

 

 

 

 

Virtual Port Mapping Table

This sets up a timeslot for each

 

 

connection between the PathBuilder

 

 

S24x, 26x, and 27x switch and the

 

 

remote nodes. Refer to the “Configuring

 

 

Virtual Port Mapping Table” section on

 

 

page 5-20.
