HSIM-W87 Configuration

Valid Intervals

Displays the number of previous intervals for which valid data was collected. The value will be 96 unless the interface was brought online within the last 24 hours, in which case the value will be the number of complete 15-minute intervals since the interface has been online.

T1 Frame Type

Displays the type of service you are using over your T1 line. This value should be set according to your WAN service provider’s instructions: ESF (Extended Super Frame DS1) or D4 (AT&T D4 format DS1).

T1 Loop Back

Displays the loopback configuration of the T1 interface. Values are:

No Loop

Not in a loopback state. A device that is not capable of

 

performing a loopback on the interface will always have this

 

value.

Payload

The received signal at this interface is looped through the device.

 

Typically the received signal is looped back for retransmission

 

after it has passed through the devices’s framing function.

Line Loop

The received signal at this interface does not go through the

 

device, but is looped back out.

Line Status

This field indicates the line status of the interface. It contains loopback, failure, received alarms and transmitted alarm information.

T1 Line BuildOut

Displays the value of the Line Buildout setting. This setting controls the amount of attenuation of the T1 signal. The possible settings are 0 db, -7.5 db, and -15 db. This field is currently not supported and will appear grayed out.

Transmit Clock Source

Displays the T1 Transmit Clock Source: Loop-Timing, which indicates that the recovered receive clock is used as the transmit clock, and Local-Timing, which indicates that an internal clock source is used.

Use the option boxes below the T1 list box to modify your T1 connections:

1.In the list box, click to highlight the T1 connection you wish to configure.

2.In the Frame Type, Loop Back, Line BuildOut, and Transmit Clock Source sections, click to select the desired option.

3.Click Apply to set your changes. You must click Apply after modifying each T1 connection.
