T1/E1 Equipped NIM Configuration

This section describes configuration for channels of T1/E1 Interface Card-equipped NIMs. Channel configurations are performed from the T1/E1 Digital Site Configuration dialog box, shown in Figure 18 on page 3-39, and from the T1/E1 Interface Card Auto-configurationdialog box, Figure 19 on page 3-42. As was the case with Audio Board-equipped NIMs, only those NIMs selected in the Site Channel Configuration List dialog box are available for channel configuration.

NOTE

Like the CEC/IMC Audio Board, each T1/E1 Interface Card within a CEC/IMC interface module must have a unique board address setting. This address is 1 - 8 (addresses 2 - 8 are currently not available).

NOTE

T1/E1 selection is performed at the CEC/IMC Manager on a CEC/IMC wide basis. Changing the Line Type will cause the complete T1/E1 database to be reset (lost). The Line Type shown as the "default" when the Audio Interface Type dialog box appears is how the system is configured and Line Type should not be changed.

The T1/E1 Interface Card provides a built-in T1 or E1 port for CEC/IMC interface modules. This port allows direct interfacing to T1/E1 microwave, fiber-optic, or leased lines facilities. Consequently, co-located T1/E1 multiplexing (mux) equipment at the CEC/IMC is eliminated when the T1/E1 Interface Card is employed. CEC/IMC Audio Boards are also eliminated within the particular interface module. Within each of these interface modules, one or more T1/E1 Interface Cards replace all Audio Boards. The T1/E1 Interface Card furnishes twenty-four full-duplex T1 channels in T1 mode and thirty- one full-duplex E1 channels in E1 mode. In addition to its T1/E1 port, the T1/E1 Interface Card also contains eight subrate ports which,
