Modify DS0/E0
Modify DS0/E0 button is only available when the DS0/E0 check box is
selected.
Note: For DS0, the framing structure have 23 timeslots. For E0, the framing
structure PCM-30 and PCM30 CRC-4 have 30 channel timeslots while
PCM-31 and PCM-31 CRC-4 have 31 channel timeslots.

DS0/E0 Size
sets the channel timeslot data rate for the pattern payload
content to either 56K or 64K (default). A timeslot data rate of 56 Kbit/s
uses 7 bits while 64 Kbit/s uses 8 bits to carry the payload information.

Zero Code Suppression allows the selection of the Zero Code
Suppression (ZCS) method used to replace the all-zero bytes of the Idle
and Tone payload contents. The ZCS mechanism is a global parameter
meaning that all channel timeslots configured with Tone/Idle data, use
the same ZCS method. Choices are:
