T1E1 Overview
The T1 and E1 interfaces are two different, independent standardized Time
Division Multiplexing (TDM) technologies. These technologies enable the
transmission of several (multiplexed) voice/data channels simultaneously on the
same transmission facility.
The T1 standard is mostly deployed in Japan and North American countries, while
the E1 is prevalent in Europe and most of the Asian countries including India.
The T1 interface provides a transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps. It can support up to
24 user channels, each at a 64 kbps access rate (and 56 kbps access rate). The
T1 interface supports 4 different bit structures, dictated by the mode of operation:
Frame, Super Frame, Extended Super Frame and Unframed.
These bit structures determine how the bits are interpreted. A T1 basic frame is
made up of 24 time slots plus 1 framing bit added to them. Each time slot is
regarded as a channel of 64kbps bandwidth (and 56 kbps access rate). The frame
length is 193 bits (24*8 + 1) A framing bit creates a channel of 8kbps and is used
for messages, synchronization and alarms.
Follow the procedure below to configure the T1 Controller.
