Configuring the E1 + G.703 Module
Making the Physical Connection
1.
Use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling with RJ-48C connectors to
connect the E1 interface to the CSU provided by your Public Telephone
and Telegraph (PTT) authority.
2.
Use crossover UTP cabling with RJ-48C connectors to connect the G.703
interface to the PBX.
Configuring the E1 Interface
When you configure a G.703 module, you first configure the E1 interface to
handle data communications. As part of this configuration, you assign the
number of channels that you will use for data to the E1 interface, and the
remaining channels are automatically assigned to the G.703 interface.
In addition, you can configure the clock source (rather than simply accepting
the default setting of line). For an E1 + G.703 module, the clock source is set
only on the E1 interface.
To assign the channels to the E1 interface, complete these steps:
1.
From the global configuration mode context, enter the following
command:
Syntax: interface e1 <slot>/1
Replace <slot> with the slot number in which the module is installed. For
example, if the module is in slot one, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface e1 1/1
2.
Use the following command to create a TDM group and assign it the
number of channels used for data.
Syntax: tdm-group <number> timeslots <range of numbers>
When you divide channels between the E1 interface and the G.703 inter-
face, you must create two groups of contiguous channels. Typically, you
will reserve channel 16 and all subsequent channels for the G.703 inter-
face. Enter:
ProCurve(config-e1 1/1)# tdm-group 1 timeslots 1-15
The remaining channels—in this case, channels 16-31—are automatically
assigned to the G.703 interface.
