Configuring Channelized T1 and E1 Trunk Cards
Configuring Channelized T1 and E1 Trunk Cards
On a Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400, you can allocate the available channels for channelized E1 and
T1 in the following ways:
•
All channels can be configured to support ISDN PRI.
•
If you are not running ISDN PRI, all channels can be configured to support robbed-bit signaling
(also known as channel-associated signaling).
•
All channels can be configured in a single channel group.
•
Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI, channel grouping, and channel-associated signaling
(CAS).
•
Mix and match channels supporting ISDN PRI, channel grouping, and robbed-bit signaling across
the same T1 line. For example, on the same channelized T1 you can configure the pri-group
timeslots 1-10,24 command, channel-group 11 timeslots 11-16 command, and ds0-group 17
timeslots 17-23 type e&m-fgb command. This is an unusual configuration because it requires you
to align the correct range of timeslots on both ends of the connection.
Note
For configuration information about leased-line or nondial use, see the Cisco IOS publication
Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide available online.
Note
You can install, in one Cisco AS5350 or Cisco AS5400 chassis, a maximum of two T1 trunk cards, two
E1 trunk cards, or one CT3 trunk card.
Controller Numbering
The CT1/E1 controller numbering convention is dfc-slot/port in CLI commands. Trunk-card slot
numbering starts from the motherboard and works up from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for the
motherboard. CT1/E1 trunk-card slots are numbered sequentially from 1 to 7. Port numbering is from 0
to 7.
