tion “Configuring T1/E1 encapsulation”.) On creating a new channel-group the channel-group configuration mode is immediately entered. To remove an existing channel-group the ‘no’ form of the command has to

be used.

Mode: port e1t1 <slot> <port>

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (prt-e1t1)[slot/port]#[no] channel-	Enters the channel-group configuration mode of
	group group-name	group-name. If the group does not yet exist a new
		one will be created. The ‘no’ form of the command
		removes an existing channel-group.

Configuring Channel-Group Timeslots

The ‘timeslots’ command configures an arbitrary sequence of timeslots for use in data transmission. The syntax of the command accepts comma-separated groups of timeslots. A group can be a single timeslot or a range of timeslots. The channel-group timeslots do not have to be contiguous. The ‘no’ form of the command releases all previously selected timeslots.

Example:

>timeslots 1,4,6		Selects three timeslots (1, 4		an 6)
>timeslots	1,4-6	Selects	four timeslots (1, 4,	5	and 6)
>timeslots	1-3,4-6	Selects	six timeslots (1, 2, 3,		4, 5 and 6)

Mode: channel-group group-name

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (ch-grp)[group-name]#[no]	Selects the timeslots to be used.
	timeslots timeslots	Default: no timeslots

Configuring Channel-Group Encapsulation

In the channel-group configuration mode only the encapsulation type ‘hdlc’ is available. For more details see , “Configuring T1/E1 encapsulation” on page 62.

Mode: channel-group group-name

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (ch-grp)[group-name]#[no] encap-	Specifies the encapsulation type of the channel-
	sulation hdlc	group. Default: no encapsulation

Entering HDLC Configuration Mode

The hdlc configuration mode can be entered either from the “port T1/E1” configuration mode or from the “channel-group” configuration mode. If you cannot enter the hdlc mode, it may be due to an invalid or incom- plete configuration, and an error message will be issued. In “port T1/E1” configuration mode, you only need to set the encapsulation for ‘hdlc’ in order to enter the hdlc configuration mode. In “channel-group” configu-
