Enters global configuration mode.
Sets the serial mode for the SPA:
• t1—Specifies T1 connectivity of 1.536 Mbps. B8ZS is the default line code for T1.
• e1—Specifies a wide-area digital transmission scheme used predominantly in Europe
that carries data at a rate of 1.984 Mbps in framed mode and 2.048 Mbps in unframed

Address on a SPA, on page
Note To change the current card type for a SPA-8XCHT1/E1, you must either:
• ◦ Remove the SPA-8XCHT1/E1 from current slot and reinsert the SPA to another
slot. The slot in which the SPA-8XCHT1/E1 is being reinserted must not have
previously been installed with a SPA-8XCHT1/E1. This is because the CLI
configuration is stored for a slot or subslot and not for a SPA.OR
◦ Reload the router without saving the configuration.
The SPA module must be reset after configurations are done to ensure that the
Note
SPA passes diagnostics.
Exits configuration mode and returns to the EXEC command interpreter prompt.
