provider won't have to reconfigure your network connection.
E1 recommended settings
DS1 administration for E1 service varies from country to country. See Avaya MultiVantage™ Application
Notes for Type Approval and use the DS1 screen illustrations in the chapter for your country as a model
for your administration.

groups to match the protocol used by your central office.
