Configuring the E1/PRI lines
To configure the E1 slot, you must set the parameters that specify the lines’ connection to the
switch.
For the Quickstart configuration, you open the Factory profile to the slot’s Line 1 profile, and
specify signaling mode, switch type, and framing type. If you are using R2 signaling, you need
to configure incoming call routing. If you want to use dynamic IP addressing, you need to
configuration address pool characteristics.
For more information about any parameter in the following procedures, see Table 6-4 on
page 6-21 or the MAX Reference.
Specifying signaling mode and switch type
To specify the signaling mode, open the Net/T1 > Line Config > Factory profile > Line 1
profile for the line.
Set the Sig Mode parameter to indicate the type of signaling used on the E1 line. If you
selected ISDN as the signaling mode, set the Switch Type parameter to the type of WAN
switch used at the line’s point-of-presence (POP).
Setting the remaining Line N parameters
After you have set the required parameter or parameters for your signaling mode, set the
remaining parameters for the line:
1
Set the Framing Mode parameter to G.703 or 2DS.
Note:
If you select G.703, the MAX provides CRC-4 checking. If you select 2DS, it does
not.
2
If you cannot accept the default channel usage setting of switched for every channel on the
line, set the Ch N parameter to Switched (the default), Nailed (dedicated), or Unused (not
in service).
Note:
To test the line later, you must have at least two switched channels.
Saving the Line 1 profile
When you have finished configuring the line, save its profile, as follows:
1
Press the Left Arrow or Escape key to exit the Line 1 profile.
A confirmation menu appears:
EXIT?
> 0=ESC (Don’t exit)
1=Exit and discard
2=Exit and accept
2
Press 2 to save and exit.
