4.5Configuring a T1 drop and insert interface

A T1 drop and insert takes some channels from an incoming T1 interface and drops some of them out to a PBX and the rest to an outgoing data path. The drop and insert interface must be configured as a DSX.

Configuring a T1 drop and insert interface requires that you activate the interface and specify the channels you want to drop out to a PBX. The following commands configure a drop and insert interface and specify that the first four T1 time slots are sent to a PBX:

user> SET DICFG:STATE:ACTV user> SET DICFG:TS:0000000f

To specify time slots, use a hexadecimal map of the form ffffffff, where each digit represents the hexadecimal value of 4 time slots, with a 1 in each channel you want to drop and insert. For more information about configuring the TS parameter, see “TS (data port)” on page A-24.

4.6Configuring FXS ports

Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) enables users to connect the Z-Plex unit to a two-way (both inbound and outbound calls) PBX trunk or a key system trunk. The FXS ports encode analog (voice, VF) signals to a digital bitstream at the local system for transmission over a T1 or E1 network. It also decodes the digital signals to analog at the remote system.

The following example configures the first FXS port and specifies that the DS0s come in on the first T1 interface (WAN 1):

1.Before making configuration changes to an FXO/FXS port, set it to STDBY mode:

user> SET FXSCFG:STATE:1:STDBY

2.Specify the FXS mode:

user> SET FXSCFG:MODE:1:FXSDN

3.Specify the FXS port:

user> SET FXSCFG:WAN:1:1

4.Specify the T1 time slots used for the FXS ports:

user> SET FXSCFG:TS:1:1-6

5.Specify the FXS type:
