T1/E1 Link Activity main window

The T1/E1 Link Activity window has three main sections that display the following T1/E1 parameters:

•Line Status—Shows the configuration of the T1/E1 Interface and service provided on each user time slot.

•Near End Line Statistics—Show error statistics collected from the near-end of the T1/E1 line.

•Far End Line Statistics—Show statistics collected from the far-end T1/E1 line. Far End Line Statistics can be used by devices that support the facility data link (FDL)

Link (dsx1LineIndex)

This object identifies a DS1 Interface on a managed device. If there is an ifEntry directly associated with this DS1 interface, it must have the same value as ifIndex. Otherwise, the value exceeds ifNumber, and is assigned a unique identifier by following this rule: inside interfaces (equipment side) with even numbers and outside interfaces (network side) with odd numbers.

Type (dsx1LineType)

This variable indicates the type of DS1 line using the circuit. The circuit type determines the bits-per-second rate that the circuit can carry and how it interprets error statistics. The values are as follows:

•dsx1ESF—Extended Superframe DS1

•dsx1D4—AT&T D4 format DS1

•dsx1E1—Based on CCITT/ITU G.704 without CRC

•dsx1E1-CRC—Based on CCITT/ITU G.704 with CRC

Circuit ID (dsx1CircuitIdentifier)

This is the transmission vendor’s circuit identifier. Knowing the circuit ID can be helpful during troubleshooting.
