Specifying the Idle Pattern

You can set a specific pattern to be transmitted between HDLC packets on all unconfigured timeslot
interfaces that belong to a channelized T3 interface. To do so, use the idle pattern command.
idle pattern patterns
[no] idle pattern patterns
Where patterns is a number in the range of 0x0 to 0xff (hexadecimal) or 0 to 255 (decimal). You can
enter this value in either hexadecimal or decimal form. Values of 0 to 254 set the idle pattern to HDLC
flags (0x7e); a value of 255 sets the pattern to 0xff (all ones).
Some systems interpret marks, 0xff, as an abort signal. Therefore, flags, 0x7e, is preferred.
Note
The default idle pattern is 0x7e.
Use the no form of the command to return the idle pattern to its default value.

Setting the T3 Clock Source

command. This command is set in controller configuration mode.
