Configuring T1 and E1 Port Parameters for CTP Bundles (CTPView)
This topic describes how to configure port
parameters for T1/E1 interfaces.
Before you begin:
- Log in to the CTPView software at least at the Net_Admin
level.
- Connect the CTPView server to the CTP device for which
you want to configure bundles.
- Disable the bundle before you modify the bundle options.
To configure T1 and E1 port parameters for
CTP bundles using CTPView:
- In the side pane, select Bundle >
Configuration.
- Run your mouse over the Display and
Select an Existing Bundle bar.
- In the table of bundles, select the bundle that
you want to modify.
- Under Port Options,
configure the parameters described in Table 1.
The options vary depending on whether the bundle is T1 or E1
and whether fractional T1 or E1 is configured.
- Click Click to Submit Bundle AND Port
Changes.
Table 1: CTP Bundle T1 and
E1 Port Parameter Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|
Port Description | Specifies a description for the port. | Enter a description of up to 62 alphanumeric characters.
Do not use the following characters: |
I/F Type | Specifies the daughter card as the interface type. | Select DCARD. |
T1/E1 Choice | Specifies the type of interface. | Select one: |
Fractional | Specifies whether the card is fractional. | Select one: - DISABLED—Card is not fractional.
- ENABLED—Card is fractional.
|
T1 Line Coding | For T1 interfaces, specifies the T1 encoding method used
on this bundle. | Select one: |
Framing Mode | For fractional T1, ESF is only option supported. With ESF framing, the frame synchronization, data link, and
CRC framing bits are passed across the IP network untouched. | |
Fractional Frame Transport | For fractional T1, enable or disable fractional frame
transport. | Select one: - Frame Transport—Framing bit is transported along
with data, which results in data alignment with the frame.
- No Frame Transport—Framing bit is not transported.
|
E1 Connector Type | For E1 interfaces, configure the termination to work
with either coax or RJ-48. | Select one: |
Number of Channels | Specifies the number of fractional T1 or E1 channels
to transport. | For T1, select a number from 1 through 24. For E1, select a number from 1 through 31. |
Signaling | Specifies the signaling method used for fractional E1. | Select one: - CSS—Common Channel Signaling. The common channel
carries data messages that convey signaling for the circuits between
two devices.
- CAS—Channel associated signaling. Each traffic channel
has a dedicated signalling channel (channel 16).
|
Clock Cfg | Specifies the type of clocking for the port. | Select one: - CTP is Clock Source—The PBX either returns the clock
received from the CTP device, or it returns a clock that is traceable
to the same source as the CTP node clock reference. You typically
use this configuration when you configure the CTP device with a clock
reference input.
- CTP is Looped Timed—The PBX provides the clock,
and the CTP device returns the same clock to the PBX. You typically
use this configuration when the PBX has the more accurate clock source.
You can configure the far end of the circuit with adaptive clocking
to recover this clock if necessary.
- CTP is Clock Source – Adap—The PBX returns
the clock received from the CTP device, and the CTP device uses the
adaptive recovered clock. You typically use this configuration when
the CTP device does not have a reference input and the PBX typically
requires clock from the distant PBX.
