Configuring a Channelized T3 Feature Card
The channelized T3 (CT3) feature card offers 28 individual T1 channels (bundled in the T3 line) for
serial transmission of data. The channelized T3 link supports the maintenance data link channel in C-Bit
parity mode and also payload and network loopbacks. The T1 channels multiplexed in the channelized
T3 link support facilities data link (FDL) in extended super frame (ESF) framing.
Additionally, you can allocate your T1 channels as described in the
“Configuring T1 and E1 Feature
Cards” section on page 8
.
Controller Numbering
The channelized T3 controller numbering convention is
slot/port
in CLI commands. Feature card slot
numbering starts from the motherboard and works up from left to right. Slot 0 is reserved for the
motherboard. Feature card slots are numbered sequentially from 1 to 7. Port number value is always 0.
Under the channelized T3, the T1 controller numbering convention is
slot/port:channel
in CLI
commands. Port numbering values range from 1 to 28.
