Configuring a T1/E1 Port for a WAN Connection

The T1/E1 port supports balanced T1/E1 according to ANSI T1.403 and has a built-in CSU/DSU.

To configure basic T1/E1 controller settings to support Point-to-Poing Protocol (PPP), High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), or Frame Relay (FR), follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

 

Command

Purpose

 

 

Step 1

 

 

 

 

Router(config)# controller T1/E1 1/0

Enters controller configuration mode by controller

 

 

 

 

number. Slot and port numbers vary.

 

 

Step 2

 

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)#clock source {internal line

Configures the controller clock source for a DS1

 

 

 

loop-timed}

link.

 

 

 

 

If the clock source is a network device attached to

 

 

 

 

the T1/E1 port that you are configuring now, select

 

 

 

 

the line option. For any other clock source (internal

 

 

 

 

or a network device attached to any other port),

 

 

 

 

select the internal option.

 

 

Step 3

 

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)# description line

Enters a description of the controller, such as the

 

 

 

 

destination or its application. The description can be

 

 

 

 

as many as 80 characters long.

 

 

Step 4

 

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)#cablelength short {133 266

Configures the cable length if the length is

 

 

 

399 533 655}

655 ft (200 m) or shorter.

 

 

 

or

or

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)#cablelength long {gain26

 

 

 

gain36} {-15db -22.5db -7.5db 0db}

Configures the receive gain and transmit attenuation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if the cable length is longer than 655 ft (200 m).

 

 

Step 5

 

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)# framing {sf esf}

If necessary, changes the DS1 link framing format.

 

 

 

 

The default is SuperFrame (sf).

 

 

Step 6

 

 

 

 

Router(config-ctrl)# linecode {ami b8zs}

If necessary, changes the line encoding format for

 

 

 

 

the DS1 link. The default is ami.
