WAN INT CONFIG (Command) When this field is highlighted and the ENTER key is pressed, the WAN Interface Configuration screen displays.

  • Page 29: The Wpim Timeslot Configuration Table

    The WPIM Timeslot Configuration Table The WPIM Timeslot Configuration table allows the user to configure the way in which the Cabletron Systems WAN module uses the T1 line. The configuration table consists of 24 Timeslots. Each Timeslot must be assigned an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface number or 000 if the Timeslot is not used).
  • Page 30 Chapter 3: Local Management for T1 Service Timeslots can be utilized in any way chosen. The WPIM-T1/DDS in T1 mode supports Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits (Timeslots) within the public network. For example, if the WPIM-T1/DDS has access to a full T1 (24 Timeslots), and the user wants to communicate with two other sites, the configuration might look like that shown in SITE #1...

  • Page 31: The Wan Interface Configuration Screen

    Site #1 is using the full T1, so all the Timeslots must have an Interface assignment. Site #2 and Site #3 use only a fraction of the T1, but the total quantity of Timeslots must match those of Site #1. Unused Timeslots receive an Interface number of 000.
