Configuring T1 FrameLine Cards (MAX TNT, DSLTNT)

Overview of T1 FrameLine configuration

Multilink Protocol (MP) and Multilink Protocol Plus (MP+) are not supported. The connection profile must specify only PPP.

Users are authenticated by the local profile or RADIUS.

Stac compression is not supported.

Frame Relay

The T1 FrameLine slot card supports Frame Relay as follows:

Only one Frame Relay link, possibly containing multiple data-link connection identifiers (DLCIs), can be active per line.

Bandwidth per link is 1-24 DS0 channels.

Channels need not be contiguous.

Up to 240 permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) are supported per card.

Routing protocols

The T1 FrameLine slot card supports only IP routing.

RADIUS

The T1 FrameLine slot card supports the same RADIUS accounting and authentication as the digital modem cards.

SNMP

The T1 FrameLine slot card supports SNMP as follows:

DS1 status and management are the same as for the eight-port T1 card.

The T1 FrameLine slot card supports the accounting Management Information Base (MIB) for session information.

Overview of T1 FrameLine configuration

Configuring the T1 FrameLine slot card is similar to T1 slot card configuration except that the

T1 FrameLine slot card has the following configuration restrictions:

Signaling-Mode must be set to inband.

The T1 FrameLine card can be used only for nailed Frame Relay or PPP links.

You must set Channel-Usage to either Unused-Channel or Nailed-64-Channel.

If Channel-Usage is Nailed-64-Channel and you are using nailed channels, the Nailed-Group setting must be unique to the line. Two different T1 lines cannot share a nailed group.

Unlike the T1 card, channels in the same nailed group do not have to be contiguous. For example, DS0 channels 1 and 3 can be in the same nailed group, with channel 2 unused.

The following T1 profile parameters are not applicable for the FrameLine card:

8-2
