Configure the Four-Port Primary Rate Interface
The Acme Packet 1100 and the Acme Packet 3900 support the four-port ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) for carrying multiple Digital Signal 0 (DS0) voice and data transmissions between the network and an endpoint. To configure the PRI interface, you must set the parameters in tdm-config and tdm-profile under system. After you create the configuration, you must run either the Set TDM Configuration wizard from the Web GUI or the setup tdm command from the ACLI to complete the configuration.
- Confirm the presence of the four-port PRI.
- Plan the number of TDM profiles that you want. (You can add or delete profiles later, if your needs change.)
When the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC) detects the PRI interface, it displays the corresponding configuration parameters. In the PRI configuration, the line mode that you specify dictates certain corresponding settings. You can set either t1 or e1 for line-mode, but note that each one requires certain uniquely compatible settings. For example, when you specify the t1 line mode you must specify esf for the framing-value. Do not specify an e1 value for the t1 line mode or a t1 value for the e1 line mode. The following procedure shows the specific t1 and e1 settings, where required.
- Run the TDM configuration wizard.
- Configure the inbound and outbound TDM local policies.
