Configuring BRI Power-Feed

Enables the application of power on the BRI port to provide power to ISDN terminals. This command applies only if the port is clock master (network side). It is only available on products with an internal, configurable ISDN power supply.

Mode: port bri <slot> <port>

Step Command Purpose

1[name] (prt-bri)[slot/port]#[no] power- Enables/Disables power-feed on the selected port.

feed Default: disabled

Configuring BRI encapsulation

The BRI encapsulation command prepares the port for a specific application protocol. After the right encapsu- lation type has been set, the configuration mode command for the selected protocol can be executed for proto- col specific configuration.

•q921: This encapsulation type automatically binds the signaling timeslot of the selected port to the ISDN Layer 2 protocol. For the BRI port this is the 16kbit/s D-channel.If in the q921 configuration mode q931 is specified as next encapsulation, the control of the two remaining timeslots (B-channels) is given to the ISDN Layer 3 protocol. For more information please consult Chapter 19, “ISDN configuration” on page 217.

•channelized: This special encapsulation type pushed the port in a mode where it is possible to setup an application for a user-defined timeslot. Normally, all timeslots of a port are under full control of the appli- cation specified with the encapsulation command. In ‘channelized’ mode, and application uses only the specified timeslot. If the encapsulation is set to ‘channelized’, use the channel-group command to create a new Channel Group and to enter its configuration mode. The requested can then be selected with the Channel Group’s encapsulation command.

Mode: port bri <slot> <port>

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (prt-bri)[slot/port]#[no] encapsu-	Specifies the encapsulation type of the BRI port.
	lation { channelized q921}	Default: q921

Creating a channel group

If the desired encapsulated channel uses only a selected time slot (not the entire BRI), then it is necessary to set up a channel-group. To create a channel-group, set the BRI port’s encapsulation to channelized. (See s“Config- uring BRI encapsulation”.) On creating a new channel-group the channel-group configuration mode is imme- diately entered. To remove an existing channel-group, the ‘no’ form of the command must be used.

Mode: port bri <slot> <port>

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (prt-bri)[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.
