Configuring T1 and E1 Port Parameters for VComp Bundles (CTPView)
This topic describes how to configure port
parameters for T1/E1 interfaces.
If you create a new VComp bundle on a T1/E1 interface
module and there are no other bundles configured on the interface,
you are prompted to specify whether the T1/E1 interface is dedicated
to VComp bundles.
Do you want to configure this card for all VCOMP?
- If you specify yes, all ports on the interface can be
used for VComp bundles, and you cannot configure any other bundle
types on the interface.
- If you specify no, you can configure other types of bundles
on the interface. However, you cannot use port 2 for VComp bundles.
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 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.
- Click Click to Submit Bundle AND Port
Changes.

E1 Port Parameter Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|
T1/E1 Choice | Specifies the type of interface. The type of interface that you select affects the default packet
size and buffer sizes for the bundle. | Select one: |
T1 Line Coding | For T1 interfaces, specifies the T1 encoding method used
on this bundle. | Select one: |
Framing Mode | For T1 interfaces, specifies the framing method. | Select one: - ESF—Extended Superframe (ESF) Framing. Frame synchronization,
data link, and CRC framing bits are passed across the IP network untouched.
- D4—Superframe Framing.
|
Line Buildout | For T1 interfaces, specifies the line buildout. | Select one: - ~133 ft
- ~266 ft
- ~399 ft
- ~533 ft
- ~655 ft
- -7.5dB CSU
- -15dB CSU
- -22.5dB CSU
|
Signaling (for T1) | For T1 interfaces, specifies whether or not CAS signaling
is used. | Select one: - On—Signaling is on. Signaling lead input on each
channel is transported end-to-end.
- Off—Signaling is off.
|
Signaling (for E1) | For E1 interfaces, specifies the signaling method used. | 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).
