1. At the (config)# prompt, enter interface e1 1/1 to activate the interface configuration mode
for the E1 network interface.
2. If necessary (this is the default), enter clock source line to configure the unit to recover
clocking from the E1 network connection.
3. If two units are configured on a private E1 (PPP mode), set one unit to clock source line and
the other to clock source internal. For Frame Relay, set both ends to clock source line.
The following steps demonstrate configuring an E1 network interface with timeslots 1 through 15
for data.
1. At the (config-e1 1/1)# prompt, enter framing crc4.
2. Enter sa4tx-bit 0.
3. Enter tdm-group 1 timeslots 1-15 speed 64 to create a TDM group for timeslots 1 through
15 (the data timeslots) on the E1 network connection (e1 1/1).
4. Enter no shutdown to activate the interface.
5. Enter interface e1 1/2 to activate the interface configuration mode for the G.703 network
interface.
6. Enter no shutdown to activate the interface.
7. Enter exit to return to the Global Configuration mode.
The NetVanta Network Interface Modules (NIMs) use a slot/port notation for interface
identification. All non-modular interfaces built into the base unit (e.g., the Ethernet port) are
identified using 0as the slot number.
Begin the E1 Network Interface Configuration
You should only need to change this setting for PPP, which will have one end set to line
(default) and the other end set to internal.
Create the E1 Interface TDM Group
The NetVanta automatically maps timeslots 1 through 31 from the network connection of
the E1/FE1 + G.703 NIM to the G.703 port. Creating a TDM group removes the specified
timeslots from the G.703 map. All remaining timeslots not included in the TDM group will
be passed from the network port (e1 1/1) to the G.703 port (e1 1/2).
Voice circuits require timeslot 16 for signaling. If voice is required on the e1 1/2 G.703
port, the largest data map which can be configured is timeslots 1 through 15 (leaving 17
through 31 for voice) or 17 through 31 (leaving 1 through 15 for voice).
Timeslot 0 is for synchronization, alarm transport, and international carrier use. It is not
accessible for use for voice or data.
