Allocating DS0 Channels from the DTE Drop/Insert Interface to the
Network Interface
By using the configuration options, you can allocate DS0 channels from the DTE
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface to the network interface and specify which DS0 channels
carry Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) information for voice channels.
To allocate DS0 channels from the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface to the network
interface:
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Cnfig.
2. Select Activ.
3. Select Edit.
4. From the Edit screen, press the
key until the Chan selection appears on the
screen.
5. Select Chan.
6. From the Channel Config screen, select DTE.
7. From the DTE Channels screen, press F1 to select Assign.
8. Press the Function key below the network channel desired. Each time that you
press the Function key, the DTE channel number is incremented. If the network
channel is currently unassigned (‘‘–” is displayed on Line 2), the DTE channel
number initially displays the same number as the corresponding network channel
number. However, if the network channel is currently assigned, the DTE channel
number is shown as D
n. Pressing the Function key for D24 wraps the display back
to D1. Only those channels that are not already assigned appear on the LCD when
scrolling. The network channels assigned to ports (Prt1...Prt4) are unavailable for
assignment.
To specify DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) channels used to carry voice information,
1. Press
from the channel allocation screen to return to the DTE Channels
screen.
2. From the DTE Channels screen, press F2 to select Voice.
3. Line 1 displays the 24 DS0 channels for the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) interface.
Pressing the
or
key scrolls the channels onto the screen in groups of three.
Line 2 displays whether the DS0 channel in Line 1 is a data channel (Data) or a
voice (RBS) channel. Each time that you press the Function key located below the
desired channel, the display in Line 2 toggles between Data and RBS.
