Overview of T1 configuration

Table 7-1lists the sections describing common tasks you might have to perform to configure a T1 line. The table includes a brief description of each task and lists the parameters you will use.

For information about administering the T1 card, including such tasks as specifying a facilities data link (FDL) and displaying the status of the lines, see the APX 8000/MAX TNT/DSLTNT Administration Guide.

For complete information about the associated parameters, see the APX 8000/MAX
