The SLOT/CHANNEL SET-UP MENU controls the fractional T1/E1 settings. The number of channels or timeslots
required and where they are positioned in the multiplex frame should be negotiated with your service provide.
1 – Idle Code
The Idle code option allows you to set the bit pattern transmitted on the unused channels (for timing purposes). Normally
this is all 1s (hexidecimal FF) for T1 service or 0 followed by fifteen 1s (hex 7F) for E1, but may be set as required or
specified by the service provider.
Choices: hexidecimal values from 0 to FF
Default: if T1: [FF]
if E1: [7F]
2 – Number
The Number option selects the number of timeslots or channels to be used for data transmission.
Choices: if T1: 1 to 24
if E1: 1 to 30 if timeslot 16 unavailable, 31 if timeslot 16 available
Default: if T1: [24]
if E1: [30] if timeslot 16 unavailable, [31] if timeslot 16 available
