If your T1/E1 or T3/E3 controller still

does not function as desired,

contact your service/network provider

As shown in Figure 4-2, three troubleshooting actions are defined:

T1/E1 & T3/E3 Physical Layer (Layer 1) troubleshooting (loss of signal/frame)

T1/E1 & T3/E3 Alarm Analysis

T1/E1 & T3/E3 Error Events Analysis

T1/E1 & T3/E3 Physical Layer Troubleshooting

This section describes the techniques and procedures to troubleshoot T1/E1 or T3/E3 physical layer problems. The troubleshooting flowchart below displays the procedures described in the following section.
