4. Configuration

Allocating Data Ports

By using the configuration options, assign a specific port to DS0 channels on either the network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface. The Tfollowing 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 T1 interface (Network or DTE

TDrop/Insert) when the initial DS0 channel is selected.

ACAMI (Alternate Channel Alternate Block Inversion) – 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). However, with ACAMI, the number of channels assigned is twice the number needed for the port rate. This is because with ACAMI, every alternate DS0 channel (starting with the n+1 DS0 channel), does not carry data from the

Tport, but instead always transmits and receives all ones.

Chan (Channel) – 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 the 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 or

TACAMI).

Select the specific channels (if the allocation method is by individual channel).
