This section describes how to add and configure these Digital Line Cards:
T1 Digital Line Card to connect to a T1 service that the local telephone
■
company provides.
You can configure the T1 Digital Line Card to use one of two types of
signaling:
DS1 protocol (sometimes referred to as Standard T1)
■
ISDN PRI (Primary Rate Interface) signaling
■
The system provides E911 (emergency) connectivity if the T1 Digital
Line Card is configured for ISDN PRI signaling. The system provides
the calling number (ANI) so that the emergency services personnel
can determine the location of the caller from the E911 database.
You must update the CO (PSAP) databases.
E1 Digital Line Card to connect to an E1 service that the local
■
telephone company provides.
You can configure an E1 Digital Line Card for ISDN PRI signaling only.
BRI-ST Digital Line Card to manage a BRI line with four BRI spans
■
using the ST interface.
Each BRI-ST Digital Line Card (3C10164C or 3C10164D) supports the
Basic Rate Interface protocol (ST interface only).
The Port, Channel, and BRI Group configuration instructions in this
chapter apply to the 3C10164D Digital Line Card and to the BRI-ST ports
on the V3000 BRI-ST, 3C10601A.
The 3C10164D is a gateway device capable of providing BRI-ST digital
interfaces. The 3C10164D card supports eight BRI channels (four ports).
