Configuring Drop and Insert Multiplexing

To use this feature, WAN ports 1 and 2 must be active and licensed for use. Drop and insert supports one-to-one mapping of 1 to 24 voice-carrying DS0s on the PBX interface to the equivalent DS0s on the network port. The PBX is connected to WAN port 1 and the DS0s are mapped to the carrier facility on WAN port 2.

In this example, DS0 channels 1-10 and 18-24 from WAN links 1 and 2 are configured for drop and insert traffic. The remaining DS0 channels (11-17) are available for IP traffic.

Configure the drop_insert interface

The interface name can be a maximum of 8 characters.
