Example: Channelized STM1 IQ Interface Configuration


Figure 6: Channelized STM1 IQ Interface Example

The next example shows how to configure a channelized STM1 IQ interface. Figure 6 shows the breakdown of one channelized STM1 IQ interface into a variety of channels and the conversion of the second interface into a clear channel STM1.

For the first interface, you must first convert the STM1 interface into a channelized Administrative Unit 4 (AU-4) interface with the no-partition and interface-type cau-4 statements at the [edit interfaces cstm1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. You must specify KLM or ITU-T AU-4 formatting with the vtmapping statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port sonet-options] hierarchy level. From the channelized AU-4 interface, you can create E1 channels or channelized E1 channels. The channelized E1 channels can be further broken into DS0 timeslots.

To create E1 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with the interface-type e1 option. To create channelized E1 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level with the interface-type ce1 option.

After you have established a channelized E1 channel, you can split it into a maximum of 31 NxDS0 channels. To create the desired number of NxDS0 channels, include the partition statement with the timeslots and interface-type ds options at the [edit interfaces ce1-fpc/pic/port:channel] hierarchy level. Timeslot 0 is reserved in an NxDS0-based channelized E1 channel, so you can use timeslots 1 through 31. To create an NxDS0 channel group, include a range of timeslots after the timeslots option.

You can also create fractional E1 interfaces on a channelized STM1 IQ interface. To configure a fractional E1 interface, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces cau4-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level and select the interface-type e1 option. After you commit this part of the configuration, a clear channel E1 interface is established. You can configure standard E1 options on this interface. To fractionalize the E1 interface, include the timeslots statement at the [edit interfaces e1-fpc/pic/port e1-options] hierarchy level. Timeslot 1 is reserved in a fractional E1 channel, so you can use timeslots 2 through 32.

In the second interface shown in Figure 6, you convert the channelized STM1 IQ interface into a clear channel STM1 interface. To configure, include the no-partition and interface-type so statements at the [edit interfaces cstm1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level.
