Number of T1 Channels

Software Version: CPC-B Version 4.0 or higher
Address: Master Cabinet: FF1 8# 4# 4# 1# 2# (0-24)#

Description
This program determines how many T1 channels will be used in the DBS
system. This address provides "Fractional T1" capability -- using only a
portion of the 24 available channels on the T1 card.
Since each T1 channel used will need one analog trunk port dedicated to it,
this setting will decrement the number of available analog trunk ports -- in
other words, each T1 channel used will subtract from the total number of
trunk ports available for analog usage.
In CPC-B 4.x versions (prior to 5.0), the entry for Number of T1 Channels
must be in increments of 8. This is because the entire analog trunk card (all 8
trunk ports on the same card) must be dedicated to T1, even if only some of
the ports are used for T1 channels. In other words, the remaining (unused)
ports on the card are not available for use as analog trunks.
In CPC-B Version 5.0 and above, those remaining ports can be used as
analog trunks. Make sure the Number of T1 Channels setting equals the
number of trunks programmed for T1 in Trunk Circuit Type (FF2 Trunk#
21#).
