Configuring E1 Cards

Enabling a line

admin> read e1 {1 12 0} admin> set name = E1 Trunk

admin> write

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-12 0 } written admin> dir e1

17 04/17/1997 19:00:02 { shelf-1 slot-12 0 } "E1 Trunk"

For E1 lines, the Line Status window displays either the name (if assigned) or the physical address. If the name is longer than eight characters, the last character displayed is a plus sign

(+).

Enabling a line

By default each E1 line is disabled. To enable an E1 line, read its profile to make it the working profile, then set Enabled to Yes, as in the following example:

admin> read e1 {1 2 1}

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-2 1 } read

admin> set line enabled = yes

admin> write

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-2 1 } written

Configuring a back-to-back connection

For diagnostics, you can configure DASS-2 or DPNSS lines in a back-to-back connection. A crossover cable connects an E1 port of one TAOS unit to an E1 port of another TAOS unit. No switch is required, and the connection is entirely local. One TAOS unit must be set up for data terminal operation (DTE) operation, and the other for data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) operation.

To specify a back-to-back connection, set the Back-to-Back parameter in the E1 profile:

admin> read e1 {1 2 1}

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-2 1 } read

admin> set back-to-back = [truefalse]

admin> write

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-2 1 } written

Specifying the framing

The E1 framing mode can be G703 (G.704 with CRC4, the standard framing mode used by most E1 ISDN and DASS2 providers) or 2DS (G.704 without CRC4, a variant of G.703 required by most E1 DPNSS providers in the United Kingdom). If the line is not configured for ISDN signaling, you can use the D4 format, also known as superframe.

Your E1 service provider must provide the correct framing values for your lines.

To specify the framing, set the Frame-Type parameter:

admin> read e1 {1 2 1}

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-2 1 } read
