DS0 Bundling
Assigning DS0s from the DTE ports to specific DS0s in the network signal is
called “bundling.” Access-T lets you define two bundling configurations, MAP1
and MAP2. Select either map to be active. The active map is displayed under
SYSTEM—DS0 CONFIGURATION—CURRENT
.
To define the DS0 bundling maps, perform the following steps:
1. Select
SYSTEM
from the Main Menu Line.
2.
Select
DS0 CONFIGURATION
.
3.
Select the map to be defined (
CHANGE MAP1
or
CHANGE MAP2
).
4.
A dialog box will appear, showing the 24 DS0s between angle brack-
ets. Each DS0 is represented by a single character. The characters
represent the contents of each DS0 (
i
= Idle code,
1
= DTE Port 1,
2
= DTE
Port 2,
3
= DTE Port 3,
4
= DTE Port 4,
A
= auxiliary T1 DTE port).
Pressing the
←
and
→
keys moves the cursor along the line of DS0s.
As you move across the DS0 selection bar, Line 1 of the dialog box
displays which DS0 is currently selected. Line 1 also displays how much
bandwidth is designated to each port, as illustrated in Figure 6-4.
5.
To assign DS0 1, make sure that the cursor is under the first
character in the DS0 string and key-in the appropriate character:
i
,
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
, or
A
.
As you assign DS0s, Line 1 of the dialog box automatically updates
to reflect the new bandwidth values for each port.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for DS0s 2 through 24.
Note:
To save time, the
i
,
1
,
2, 3, 4,
and
A
key can be
pressed down and held, causing a repeat entry.
