Configuring E1 lines
Using ISDN signaling
To configure an E1/PRI line for ISDN signaling in Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland,
Sweden, Denmark, or Singapore:
1Open the Net/E1 > Line Config > Line Config profile > Line N subprofile for the line you
are configuring, and set the Sig Mode parameter to ISDN. For example:
Net/E1
Line Config
Line Config profile
Line 1...
Sig Mode=ISDN
2Set the Switch Type parameter to Net 5 (the standard used in these countries):
Switch Type=Net 5
3Specify G.703 framing (the standard used by most E1 ISDN providers):
Framing Mode=G.703
Note: If you select G.703, the MAX unit provides CRC-4 checking. If you select 2 DS, it
does not.
4Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
If the profile you have configured is not the active profile, activate it as described in
“Activating a profile” on page 2-7.
Using DPNSS signaling
To configure an E1 line for DPNSS signaling:
1Open the Net/E1 > Line Config > Line Config profile > Line N subprofile for the line you
are configuring.
2Set the DPNSS signaling mode and a compatible switch type. For example:
Net/E1
Line Config
Line Config profile
Line 1...
Sig Mode=DPNSS
Switch Type=Mercury
Mercury is a variant of DPNSS.
3Set the framing mode. For example:
Framing Mode=2DS
Most E1 DPNSS providers in the U.K. require 2DS, which is a variant of G.703. If you
select G.703, the unit provides CRC-4 checking. If you select 2DS, it does not.
4Make sure that the following parameters are set to their default values, as shown:
L3 End=x-side
L2 End=b-side
NL Value=64
LoopAvoidance=7
5Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
