Allocating Data Ports

Assign a specific port (Prt1 and Prt2 for Model 3172, Prt1 through Prt4 for Model 3174) to DS0 channels on either the Network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert interface by using the configuration options. The following methods are available to assign DS0 channels to the port:

Block ± Allows a block of contiguous channels to be assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0 channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0 channels). The number of channels assigned is determined by the port rate. Only those initial DS0 channel numbers that provide enough bandwidth (based on the port's data rate) are displayed on the screen. These channels are automatically assigned to the destination E1 interface when the initial DS0 channel is selected.

Chan ± Individually selects the DS0 channels to allocate to the data port. The data port rate is automatically determined based on the number of channels selected.

Once a port is selected, you have access to configuration options to complete the port allocation procedure. These configuration options enable you to,

•Assign the selected port to the desired interface

•Select the desired method for channel allocation

•Select the port rate and starting channel (if the allocation method is block)

•Select the specific channels if the allocation method is by individual channel

These configuration options are explained in detail in Appendix C.

To select the data port,

1.Press F3 to select Cnfig from the top-level menu screen.

2.Select the configuration option set to be copied into the Edit area by using the appropriate Function key. Use the scroll keys, if necessary.
