Nx64 Channel Configuration; Timeslot Assignment - Black Box Echo Series User Manual

Nx64 channel Configuration

To change the Nx64 channel configuration, select the configuration screen (shown on page
10) by moving the cursor to the top line on the right hand area of the screen, next to 'Nx64
Channels:' and pressing ENTER or RETURN.
The display shows parameters for up to four data channels CH1 to CH4.
Each data channel has parameters selectable as detailed in the table on the following page.

Timeslot Assignment

Timeslots are assigned by moving the cursor down to the Timeslot map section of the Nx64
Channels screen.
Timeslots may be assigned directly by pressing the appropriate key on the Supervisor port
terminal keyboard eg:
Pressing:
Timeslots assigned to each channel will each contribute 64K of bandwidth. The Rate field
for the channel will automatically be updated to show the rate which the channel will be
running.
Note that if the D&I channel is connected to a PABX which is using timeslot 16 for
signalling or CCS signalling, timeslot 16 must be assigned to the D&I channel.
It is of course, very important to plan which timeslots are to be used by the connected PABX
and which are to be used for data channels. This will almost certainly require some setting up
of the PABX as well as the multiplexer.
