Required Configuration Tasks

This section lists the required configuration steps to configure the 2-Port or 4-Port T3/E3 SPA. Some of the required configuration commands implement default values that might be appropriate for your network. If the default value is correct for your network, then you do not need to configure the command.

•Setting the Card Type

•Configure the Interface

Note To better understand the address format used to specify the physical location of the Spa Interface Processor (SIP), SPA, and interfaces, see the: “Specifying the Interface Address on a SPA” section on page 13-5.

Setting the Card Type

The SPA is not functional until the card type is set. Information about the SPA is not indicated in the output of any show commands until the card type has been set. There is no default card type.

		• e3—Specifies a wide-area digital transmission
		scheme used predominantly in Europe that
		carries data at a rate of 34010 kbps.
		• slot subslot— Specifies the location of the
		SPA. See the: “Specifying the Interface
		Address on a SPA” section on page 13-5
