Data Port Channel Allocation (appears for the individual channel method only).
Designates the DS0 channel to allocate to this port, N1–N24 for the network interface
and D1–D24 for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.
Line 1 displays the 24 channels for the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert
(DSX-1) interface. Line 2 displays what is allocated to the DS0 channel indicated in
Line 1. Possible values for Line 2 are:
Value Meaning
– This DS0 channel is not allocated. You can modify this value on this
screen.
Prt
n
This DS0 channel is allocated to port

n,

where
n
is a number from 1 to
4. You can modify this value on this screen for this port only.
N
n
This DS0 channel is allocated to the network interface DS0 channel
n
,
where
n
is a number from 1 to 24. You cannot modify this value on this
screen.
D
n
This DS0 channel is allocated to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1)
interface DS0 channel
n
, where
n
is a number from 1 to 24. You can
modify this value on this screen.
Select the channel by pressing the Function key under that number. To deallocate a port,
press the Function key under that port number. Pressing the Function key under
channels assigned to other ports has no effect.
NOTES: – The DSU/CSU automatically derives the data rate for the port from the
number of DS0 channels allocated.
– For the 3164 DSU/CSU there is a hardware limitation that limits the
combined bandwidth used by Port 1 and Port 3 to a total of 2048 kbps
and the combined bandwidth used by Port 2 and Port 4 to 2048 kbps. If
a selection of Prt
n
causes this limit to be exceeded, the selection is
ignored and the “–” continues to be displayed for the channel.
