Modifying port settings
The portconfig command sets the line type, line coding, and signal mode for
DS-1/E1 ports on the service boards. See “Changing port configuration
settings” (page 33) and “Viewing port configuration settings” (page 33) for
information on the portconfig command. The syntax of the command is:
portconfig [<port#> [lineType=<value>]
[lineCoding=<value>] [SignalMode=<value>]]
where
<port#>
is the port number
[lineType=<value>]
is the line type for the port
[lineCoding=<value>]
is the line coding for the port
[SignalMode=<value>]
is the signal mode for the E1 port
