RuggedCom RX1000, RX1100 manual T1/E1, Location Of Interfaces And Labeling, Included With T1E1

RuggedRouter™ User Guide

Unlike PPP, a Frame Relay link can provide multiple (up to 990) connections. Each connection is identified by a Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) and must match at the DCE and DTE. The use of multiple connections can support meshed network interconnections and disaster recovery.

Location Of Interfaces And Labeling

Unlike the Ethernet ports (which are statically located), the location of T1/E1, DDS and ADSL ports in your router depends upon the number of ports and how they were ordered. Refer to the labeled hardware image as presented in the Webmin home page.

To make labeling easy to understand, all T1E1, T3, DDS and ADSL ports are assigned a unique port number that relates to the LEDs on the status panel.

LED Designations

The RuggedRouter includes two sources of LED indicated information about T1E1 lines, the T1E1 card itself and the LED Panel.

One LED is associated with each line, next to the interface jack. This LED is red when the link is disconnected, flashes green when the link is connecting and remains solid green when the link is established.

The RuggedRouter also indicates information about T1E1 ports on the LED Panel. A pair of LEDs will indicate traffic and link status of the port. Consult the section “Using The LED Status Panel” to determine which LEDs correspond to the port.

Included With T1E1

T1E1 includes wanpipemon, a utility that can capture traces from the T1E1 line.
