System Configuration and Operation Assigning Time Slots

3.11.1 Assigning a Time Slot to a User port Port
You can define a time slot map from any user port (data or voice) for connections involving
that port, or from a WAN port for cross-connections involv ing only WAN ports. For example,
Figure 3-16 shows the E&M port Main Screen for the time slot assignments. Assign time slots
to a voice port as follows:
1. From the System Main Screen, select the desired voice port and press <Enter>. That
port’s Main Screen appears.
2. Select the WAN port from which you want to assign time slots to the E&M port. In
Figure 3-16, this is wan-1 (for WAN 1, port 1).
3. Select a time slot (TS) for the first port. A num ber appears at the bottom of the screen
for the corresponding time slot on the WAN port.
4. Set the time slot number by using the up and down arrow keys to highlight it, then press
the <Enter> key.
5. Change the STATE of the port from stdby to actv.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remaining port ports, to assign time slots to them.
7. Press “s” to save your settings, using the Save command in the port Main Screen.
