1.4.2.1 Loop Bonded Connection
Using multiple E1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) will net speed and
data passing capability equal to the cumulative total of the individual single-line
connections. Multiple E1 lines used for one connection can also be considered backup
for each other should one or more of the lines become disabled. Any of the ports on the
EIM2000-12 or EIM2000-24 can be bonded together; it is not necessary for them to be
consecutive.
The E1 equipment to which an EIM2000 is connected must also be E1 loop bonding
capable in order for the EIM2000 to establish a loop bonded connection. Refer to Net to
Net's E1 Loop Bonding Product to Product Feature Compatibility document at
http://www.nettonet.com/support/docs/230-0000035
.
1.4.2.2 Single Line E1 Connection
A single line connection can be established between the EIM2000 and any of Net to
Net's E1 modems.
1.4.3 Verify the Connection
For each port being connected to a remote E1 modem, verify that the E1 link has been
established.
C
AUTION
All E1 ports intended for a loop bonded connection MUST be identically configured PRIOR to
connection. See Net to Net's NMS Management User Guide and/or CLI Management User
Guide for configuration instructions. If default settings are to be used for bonded ports, then
prior configuration is not necessary and you may proceed with installation.
The E1 LK LED of connected ports will illuminate green
to indicate a connection has been made.
Link up should occur within 20 seconds
depending on the quality, gauge and distance
of the copper cable(s).
