Configuring a Channelized T3 Link

Use of the 0xFF HDLC idle pattern may help prevent false yellow alarms in the remote T1 device when
Note
SF framing is used.
Setting the Yellow Alarm Configuration for a T1 Line
You can use the [no] t1 t1-line-number yellow {detection | generation} command (where
t1-line-number is 1–28) to turn the detection or generation of a yellow alarm on and off. When you select
SF framing, you should consider using the no t1-line-number yellow detection command to turn off
yellow alarm detection, because the yellow alarm can be incorrectly detected with SF framing.
Setting the Clock Source on a T1 Line
You can set the internal or line (network) clock source for a T1 line with the controller command:
t1 t1-line-number clock source {internal | line}

5-12
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# t1 6 framing sf
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# t1 6 framing sf
Other options for setting Super Frame (SF) include:
router(config-controller)#t1 6 framing ?
esf
Extended Superframe Framing format
sf
Superframe Framing Format
router(config-controller)#t1 6 framing sf ?
hdlc-idle
Specify the HDLC idle pattern on a T1
<cr>
router(config-controller)#t1 6 framing sf hdlc-idle ?
0x7E
Use 0x7E as HDLC idle pattern
0xFF
Use 0xFF as HDLC idle pattern
router(config-controller)#t1 6 framing sf hdlc-idle 0x7e ?
Set ESF framing format for T1 line 16 as follows:
The example that follows is for a port adapter on a VIP in interface processor slot 1:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0/0
Router(config-controller)# t1 16 framing esf
The example that follows is for a port adapter in slot 1 of the Cisco 7200 series routers:
Router(config)# controller T3 1/0
Router(config-controller)# t1 16 framing esf
t1-line-number is 1–28.
The default clock source is internal.
