Configuring E1 Cards

Configuring ISDN network-side emulation

Configure ISDN PRI service as in the following example:

admin>read e1 {1 15 5}

E1/{ shelf-1 slot-15 5 } read

admin>list

[in E1/{ shelf-1 slot-15 5 }] name = ""

physical-address* = { shelf-1 slot-15 5 } line-interface = { no none g703 eligible middle-priority isdn +

back-to-back = false

admin>list line-interface

[in E1/{ shelf-1 slot-15 5 }:line-interface] enabled = no

t-online-type = none frame-type = g703 clock-source = eligible clock-priority = middle-priority signaling-mode = isdn default-call-type = digital switch-type = net5-pri

..

..

admin> set frame-type = esf admin> set signaling-mode = isdn admin> set switch-type = switchtype

admin> set channel 17 channel-usage=d-channel admin> write

To see a complete list of switch types supported on the TAOS unit, see the TAOS unit command-line interface online help or the APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT Reference.

Configuring ISDN network-side emulation

You can configure PRI lines to use either network-side or user-side ISDN emulation. Previously, PRI lines on the TAOS unit supported only user-side emulation. Following is the relevant parameter, shown with its default setting:

[in E1/{ any-shelf any-slot0 }:line-interface] isdn-emulation-side = te

ISDN is a nonsymmetrical protocol used by telephone carriers to provide digital services to end users. There are no ISDN links between telephone carrier Central Offices (COs). ISDN links exist only between the CO and the customer. Therefore, an ISDN link can be viewed as having two sides— the network side, or network terminating (NT) equipment, and the user side, or terminal equipment (TE). The user side can connect only to the network side, and vice versa. Both the network side and the user side perform the same functions, but the format of the messages is different. For example, the network side must always set a bit and the user side must always clear it. These differences allow either side to determine whether the other end is the right one.
