Description

Enable or disable HDLC scrambling on an E3, a SONET, or a T3 interface. This type of scrambling provides better link stability. Both sides of a connection must either use or not use scrambling.

Disable payload scrambling on an E3 interface if Digital Link compatibility mode is used.

On a Channelized OC-12 interface, the SONET payload-scrambler statement is ignored. To configure scrambling on the DS-3 channels on the interface, you can include the t3-options payload-scrambler statement in the configuration for each DS-3 channel.

Default

Payload scrambling is disabled on all E3 and T3 interfaces; it is enabled by default on E3/T3 over ATM interfaces and on SONET/SDH interfaces.

Usage Guidelines

See Configure E3 and T3 Parameters on ATM 1 Interfaces, Configure E3 HDLC Payload Scrambling, Configure SONET HDLC Payload Scrambling, Configure T3 HDLC Payload Scrambling, and Examples: Configure T3 Interfaces.
