Figure 7: Channelized T1 IQ Interface Example

The following example shows two ways to configure a channelized T1 IQ interface. Figure 7 shows a fractional T1 method and the NxDS0 method seen previously in the complex OC12 configuration example (see Example: Complex Configuration for a Channelized OC12 IQ Interface). The NxDS0 method breaks the channelized T1 IQ interface into discrete DS0 blocks, whereas the fractional method creates a clear channel T1 that is segmented by time slots.
To configure NxDS0 channels, include the partition statement at the [edit interfaces ct1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. Include the timeslots and interface-type ds options to create the desired number of NxDS0 interfaces in time slots 1 through 24.
To configure a clear channel T1 on a channelized T1 IQ interface, include the no-partition statement with the interface-type t1 option at the [edit interfaces ct1-fpc/pic/port] hierarchy level. After you commit this configuration, you can create a fractional T1 on the clear channel T1 interface. To do so, include the timeslots statement at the [edit interfaces t1-fpc/pic/port t1-options] hierarchy level and specify the number of DS0 blocks to be allowed in the fractional T1 interface. The minimum number of 64-Kbps DS0 blocks you can configure is 1 and the maximum is 24.
Usually, you configure loopback statements at the controller level for all IQ-based channelized interfaces. One exception for channelized T1 IQ interfaces is that you must configure a payload loopback on a T1 IQ interface instead of the controller-level channelized T1 IQ interface. To configure, include the payload option at the [edit interfaces t1-fpc/pic/port t1-options loopback] hierarchy level.

To verify correct operation of a channelized T1 IQ interface, use the following commands:
To view the interface names of the physical channelized T1 IQ interface and the resulting interfaces configured on the channelized IQ interface, use the show interfaces controller command:
user@RouterA> show interfaces controller
ct1-2/3/7
Controller Admin Link
ct1-2/3/7 up up
ds-2/3/7:1 up up
ds-2/3/7:2 up up
# ct1-2/3/7 is the physical channelized T1 IQ interface, and ds-2/3/7:1 and ds-2/3/7:2 are the resulting N xDS0 interfaces.
user@RouterA> show interfaces controller ct1-2/3/8
Controller Admin Link
ct1-2/3/8 up up
t1-2/3/8 up up
# ct1-2/3/8 is the physical channelized T1 IQ interface, and t1-2/3/8 is the resulting T1 interface.
To view information about the physical channelized interface, include the ct1-fpc/pic/port option with the show interfaces command:

To view information about a T1 or fractional T1 interface, include the t1-fpc/pic /port option with the show interfaces command. The Speed: field shows if the interface is a full T1(T1) or a fractional T1 (increments of 64 Kbps). In this case, t1-2/3/8 is a fractional T1 using two 64-Kbps time slots for a total speed of 128 Kbps.
