Adding Channelized and non-Channel Bridged E1 Ports

The channelized and non-channel bridged E1 ports are provisioned in the database using the ent-e1 command using these parameters.

:loc – The location of the E1 card (card type lime1) that is servicing the E1 signaling link. The location of a channel card (card type limch) cannot be specified for this parameter.

:e1port – The E1 port on the E1 card used to service the E1 signaling link. The e1port value cannot already be assigned to the E1 card specified by the loc parameter.

:crc4 – Specifies whether or not CRC4 is enabled on the E1 signaling link. The default value is on (crc4=on).

:cas – Specifies whether CAS or CCS is used on the E1 signaling link. CAS is enabled with the cas=on parameter. CCS is enabled with the cas=off parameter. The default value is CCS enabled (cas=off). The cas=on parameter cannot be specified for an HC-MIM or an E5-E1T1 card.

:encode – Specifies the type of encoding or decoding that is used on the E1 signaling link, either HDB3 or AMI. The default value is HDB3 encoding (encode=hdb3). AMI encoding can be specified only for an HC-MIM, or an E5-E1T1 card.

:e1tsel – The timing source for the E1 signaling link, master (external), slave (line), or recovered. The default value is slave timing (e1tsel=line).

The recovered timing source can be used only with the chanbrdg=on parameter and cannot be used in this procedure.

Note:

To use an external high-speed master clock source other than RS-422, TDMs 870-0774-15 or later must be installed in card locations 1114 and 1116, and the TDM Global Timing Interface options must be configured. For more information, see Configuring the Options for the TDM Global Timing Interface.

:si – Specifies the value of the two spare international bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 3. The default value is 0 (si=0).

:sn – Specifies the value of the five spare national bits of NFAS data, from 0 to 31. The default value is 0 (sn=0).

The ent-e1 command contains other parameters that are not used in this procedure. These parameters and their usage are described in these sections:

e1tsel=recovered, chanbrdg, and force=yes – Adding Channel Bridged E1 Ports.
linkclass and minsurate – Adding Unchannelized E1 Ports.

The E1 card specified in this procedure must be in the database. This can be verified with the rtrv-card command.

If the cas=on parameter is specified with the ent-e1 command, timeslot 16 cannot be used when the E1 signaling link is provisioned with the ent-slk command in Adding an E1 Signaling Link.

The E1 card cannot contain channelized and unchannelized E1 ports.

Display the existing E1 interfaces in the database using the rtrv-e1 command with no parameters. This is an example of the possible output.

Continue the procedure by performing one of these substeps.

If the E1 card that the E1 port is being assigned to in this procedure is not shown in the rtrv-e1 output, or if the E1 card has unchannelized E1 ports assigned to it, continue the procedure with 2 to verify if there are any E1 cards in the database that have no E1 ports assigned to them.
If the rtrv-e1 output shows that the E1 card has channel bridged E1 ports assigned to it, or that E1 ports 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 are assigned to the E1 card, the E1 card is an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card. Continue the procedure with 7 to add the E1 port with the parameters allowed for an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card.
If the rtrv-e1 output shows that the E1 card does not have channel bridged E1 ports assigned to it, or that E1 ports 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 are not assigned to the E1 card, verify the type of E1 card that the E1 port will be assigned to. The E1 card types and their part numbers are shown in Table A-4. If the E1 card is an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
- If the E1 cards shown in this step are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, contain channel bridged E1 ports, or unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 7.
- If the E1 cards shown in this step are not on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, continue the procedure with 3.
- If the E1 cards shown in this step are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards do not have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, do not contain channel bridged E1 ports, or do not have unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 3.

If the E1 card you wish to use in this procedure has all the E1 ports that are allowed to be assigned to it, select another E1 card to add the E1 port to, or continue the procedure with 2 to verify if there are any E1 cards in the database that have no E1 ports assigned to them. Table A-7 shows the number of E1 ports that are allowed for the different E1 card types.

Table A-7 Maximum Number of E1 Ports

E1 Card Types	Maximum Number of E1 Ports
HC MIM	8
E5-E1T1	8

Continue the procedure by performing one of these substeps.
1. If the desired E1 card is not shown in the rtrv-card output, perform Adding a LIM-E1 Card to add the desired E1 card. If you wish to assign E1 ports 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 to the E1 card, the E1 card being added must be an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card.
2. If the E1 card that will be used in this procedure is an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card, continue the procedure by performing one of these steps.
  - If E1 cards are shown in 1 that are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, contain channel bridged E1 ports, or unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 7 to add the E1 port with the parameters allowed for an HC MIM or an E5-E1T1 card.
  - If no E1 cards, shown in 1, are not on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, continue the procedure with 3.
  - If E1 cards are shown in 1 that are on the same shelf as the card that will contain the E1 port that is being added, and these cards do not have E1 ports 3 through 8 provisioned, do not contain channel bridged E1 ports, or do not have unchannelized E1 ports, continue the procedure with 3.
