Setting the Card Type
The SPA is not functional until the card type is set. Information about the SPA is not indicated in the output
of any
show
commands until the card type has been set. There is no default card type.
The card type command is not required to set the serial mode for the 8-Port Clear-Channel T3/E3 SPA.
Therefore, this command is not supported in the 8-Port Clear-Channel T3/E3 SPA. This SPA supports
both T3 and E3 configurations at the port level, which can be changed without reloading the SPA. The
framing type that is configured determines whether a port is in the T3 mode or E3 mode. During first time
initialization, by default, all the ports of the 8-Port Clear Channel T3/E3 SPA come up in the T3 mode
and C-bit framing. For subsequent reloads, the ports come up in the modes they were configured and saved
in. For more information on mixed interface types, see the
Configuring Framing, on page 228
.
