Configuring an E1 or T1 Interface
Before you begin to configure an E1 or T1 interface, you should know the
settings that you must enter for the following:
number of channels used
line coding
frame format
clock source
Your public carrier should provide you with this information.
To configure the E1 or T1 interface, complete these steps:
1.
If you are configuring an E1 interface, use unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cabling with RJ-48C connectors to connect the E1 port on the ProCurve
Secure Router to the external CSU provided by your public carrier. If you
are configuring a T1 interface, use UTP cabling with RJ-48C connectors
to connect the T1 port to the wall jack provided by your public carrier.
2.
Establish a terminal session with the ProCurve Secure Router. You are
automatically at the basic mode context.
ProCurve>
3.
Move to the enable mode context. If you have configured a password for
the enable mode context, enter the password.
ProCurve> enable
Password:
4.
Move to the global configuration mode context.
ProCurve# configure terminal
5.
Move to the E1 or T1 interface configuration mode context.
Syntax: interface <interface> <slot>/<port>
For example, if you are configuring a one-port E1 or T1 module that is
installed in slot one, enter:
ProCurve(config)# interface e1 1/1
or
ProCurve(config)# interface t1 1/1
6.
Create a TDM group and assign it the number of channels used for this
connection.
Syntax: tdm-group <number> timeslots <range of numbers>
