If you want to assign to . . . Then enter . . .
Network interface timeslots Net1 or Net2
DSX-1 interface timeslots on the 9161
Single T1 NAM DSX01-1
Another Sync Data port Port
3. Enter the number of DS0s to allocate.
4. Enter one of the following into the Assign By field:
Enter . . . To . . .
Channel Assign ports individually. However, a Sync Data port can be
assigned to multiple timeslots which do not have to be
contiguous. As you assign multiple timeslots to a port, the data
port rate increases by the Port Base Rate defined on the
Synchronous Data Port Options screen (see
Configuring Sync
Data Ports
on page 5-16).
Block Assign a block of contiguous channels by specifying the number
of DS0s. The number of DS0s is limited to the largest
contiguous block of timeslots, and only starting timeslots that
have enough contiguous timeslots following will be selectable.
ACAMI Assign a block of contiguous channels as in the Block method,
except that the number of channels assigned is twice the
number of DS0s to allocate. Every other timeslot is filled with all
ones to maintain ones density on the interface.
5. Move the cursor to the next editable timeslot (underlined). Use the spacebar
or type in the desired slot and port. Repeat this step until all desired timeslots
are assigned.
6. Select Save to save the assignments, or press ESC to save and return to the
Cross Connect menu.
