1/2 Port Channelized T1/E1 PRI Network Module (NM-1CE1T1-PRI and NM-2CE1T1-PRI)

---

The NM-1CE1T1-PRI (1-port) and NM-2CE1T1-PRI (2-port) network modules provide support for T1, E1, and ISDN primary rate interface (PRI) network connections in a network module form factor. This feature (referred to in this document as NM-xCE1T1-PRI) offers attachment of one T1, E1, or ISDN PRI line on the 1-port module and two T1, E1, or ISDN PRI lines on the 2-port version.

This new feature (NM-xCE1T1-PRI) enables you to configure a single network module as either a T1 interface or an E1 interface on the same card. The configuration of a T1 or E1 interface and the change from one to the other is controlled by the card type command. Additionally, when in E1 mode, the module can be configured between channelized E1, ISDN PRI, E1-CAS-R2 (for modems, not for voice), balanced and unbalanced, and structured (G.704) versus unstructured (G.703) modes. In T1 mode, the module can be configured for channelized T1, T1-CAS, and as a CSU/DSU.

---

Note After you insert the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature network module into the router chassis, you must use the card type command in the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature. The controller will not be detected and cannot be configured until you use the card type command.

---

Configuration of the T1 or E1 interface can be customized using command-line interface (CLI) commands. In E1 mode, each port can be individually set to 120-ohm or 75-ohm termination. Each port has RJ-48C connectors, and there is one bantam jack that is shared by each port (for 2-port cards) for monitoring.

Information About NM-xCE1T1-PRI Support

After you insert the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature network module into the router chassis, you must use the card type command in the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature. The controller will not be detected and cannot be configured until you use the card type command.

If the card type command is used to make subsequent changes, these changes will take effect only if you use the reload command after changing the card type.

The bantam jack can be connected only to one port at a time.

The NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature will not support channel service unit (CSU) DTE loopback or CSU network loopback modes. Because the CSU is integrated into the framer, there is no need or way to support CSU loopbacks.

To configure the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature, you need to understand the following concepts:

•NM-xCE1T1-PRI Feature Driver Software

•NM-xCE1T1-PRI Feature Supported Functions

NM-xCE1T1-PRI Feature Driver Software

The driver software for the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature provides for the transmission and reception of packets over channelized E1 and T1 circuits. Driver functions are as follows:

•Network Management Interface (MIB support)

•New CLI for 75-ohm and 120-ohm line termination for E1

•New CLI for specifying the card type (T1/E1)

NM-xCE1T1-PRI Feature Supported Functions

This section summarizes the functions supported by the NM-xCE1T11PRI feature.

•Two card versions:

–1-port T1 (DSU/CSU), E1 and G.703 (balanced and unbalanced)

–2-port T1 (DSU/CSU), E1 and G.703 (balanced and unbalanced)

•Four LEDs per port defined as Carrier Detect, Remote Alarm, Local Alarm, and Loopback

•Three LEDs per port defined as T1-100, E1-120, and E1-75

•RJ-48 connectors with transition cable breakout to physical media type

•T1 CSU and DSU line buildouts, E1 short haul and long haul

•T1 SF and ESF framing

•ANSI T1.403 Annex B/V.54 loopup/loopdown code recognition, network loopback, and user-initiated loopbacks

•E1 structured (ITU G.704) and unstructured (ITU G.703) operation

•AMI, B8ZS, and HDB3 line coding

•Two bantam jacks for TX and RX monitor with two LEDs defined as P0, P1 (port selected)

How to Configure the NM-xCE1T1-PRI Feature

This section describes the commands used to configure the NM-xCE1T1-PRI feature:

•Configuring an NM-xCE1T1-PRI Card for a T1 Interface

•Configuring an NM-xCE1T1-PRI Card for an E1 Interface

•Configuring a T1 or E1 Interface for Bantam-Jack Monitoring

•Verifying NM-xCE1T1-PRI Support

Configuring an NM-xCE1T1-PRI Card for a T1 Interface

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. card type t1 slot

4. controller t1 slot/port

5. linecode {ami | b8zs}

6. framing {sf | esf}

7. clock source {line | internal}

8. pri-group [timeslots range]

9. exit

10. copy running-config startup-config

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	card type t1 slot Example: Router(config)# card type t1 1	Sets or changes the card type. •When the command is used for the first time, the configuration takes effect immediately. •A subsequent change in the card type will not take effect unless you enter the reload command or reboot the router.
Step 4	controller t1 slot/port Example: Router(config)# controller t1 1/0	Enters controller configuration mode and identifies the controller type (T1) and a slot and port for configuration commands that specifically apply to the T1 interface. •The card type command must be entered before this command can be used.
Step 5	linecode {ami | b8zs} Example: Router(config-controller)# linecode b8zs	Specifies a line encoding for a controller. •The controller command must be entered before this command can be used. •Line-code value for T1 can be ami or b8zs.
Step 6	framing {sf | esf} Example: Router(config-controller)# framing esf	Specifies a frame type. •The controller command must be entered before this command can be used. •The frame type can be specified as sf for superframe or esf for extended superframe for T1 controllers.
Step 7	clock source {line | internal} Example: Router(config-controller)# clock source line	Sets the clock source for a T1 controller. •The clocking argument can have a value of line or internal. –A value of line means the source is the loop. –A value of internal means the source is the local oscillator if the card is not participating in the backplane timing domain.
Step 8	pri-group [timeslots range] Example: Router(config-controller)# pri-group timeslots 1-5	Specifies that the controller should be set up as a PRI interface. •For T1, the last defined channel is the D channel. •If a controller is configured as PRI, individual channel groups cannot be configured on that controller. •The controller command must be entered before this command can be used. Note To specify that the controller should be set up as a channel group, use the channel-group command here instead of the pri-group command. For more information, see the "Configuring an NM-xCE1T1-PRI Card for an E1 Interface" section.
Step 9	exit Example: Router# exit	Exits the controller configuration mode and returns the router to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 10	copy running-config startup-config Example: Router# copy running-config startup-config	Saves the new configuration parameters to the permanent configuration file. •This command can be abbreviated to copy run start.

Verifying NM-xCE1T1-PRI Support

To examine the state of the T1 or E1 line, use the show controller and show interface commands.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. show controller {t1 | e1}

3. show interfaces serial slot/port:[channel-group]

4. show pci bridge slot-number

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	show controller {t1 | e1} Example: Router# show controller t1	Displays the RFC 1406 MIB statistics about the T1 or E1 port, card revision information, alarm status, and port configuration.
Step 3	show interfaces serial slot/port:[channel-group] Example: Router# show interfaces serial 1/0:23	Displays statistics for channels and channel groups created within a T1 or E1 controller, which are treated as serial interfaces. •The range of slot numbers is dependent on the host router. •The port can be either 0 or 1. •Channel-group values range from 0 to 23 for T1 controllers and from 0 to 30 for E1 controllers. •The channel group is the number parameter defined in the channel-group command. •If no channel-group value is entered, all the interfaces are displayed.
Step 4	show pci bridge slot-number Example: Router# show pci bridge 1	Displays peripheral component interconnect (PCI) configuration information about the port module in a particular slot, including any bridges on both the host router and the network module.

Release	Modification
12.3(1)	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The controller command must be entered before the bantam-jack enable command can be used.

Only one port can be connected to the bantam jack at a time, and the port connected will have an illuminated LED.

The bantam-jack enable command cannot be saved in the startup configuration, and therefore cannot be seen in the running configuration. To see if the bantam-jack enable command has been configured, use the show controller {t1 | e1} command.

Examples

The following example enables the bantam jack for a port:

Router(config-controller)# bantam-jack enable

channel-group-number	Channel-group number on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745 routers. When a T1 data line is configured, channel-group numbers can be values from 0 to 23. When an E1 data line is configured, channel-group numbers can be values from 0 to 30. Valid values can be 0 or 1 on the Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400.
timeslots range	Specifies one or more time slots separated by commas, or ranges of time slots belonging to the channel group separated by a dash. The first time slot is numbered 1. For a T1 controller, the time slots range from 1 to 24. For an E1 controller, the time slots range from 1 to 31. You can specify a time slot range (for example, 1-29), individual time slots separated by commas (for example 1, 3, 5), or a combination of the two (for example 1-14, 15, 17-31). See the "Examples" section for samples of different timeslot ranges.
speed {56 | 64}	(Optional) Specifies the speed of the underlying DS0s in kilobits per second. Valid values are 56 and 64. The default line speed when configuring a T1 controller is 56 kbps on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM series, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, Cisco 3745, and the Cisco MC3810.

12.2(15)T	The aim keyword was added for use on the Cisco 2600 series (including the Cisco 2691), Cisco 2600XM, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.
12.3(1)	The unframed keyword was added for use on the Cisco 2600XM series, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to direct High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 DSP card. A channel group is created using Advanced Integration Module (AIM) HDLC resources when a channel-group command with the aim keyword is parsed during system initialization or when the command is entered during configuration. You must specify the aim keyword under a T1/E1 controller port to direct HDLC traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 DSP card on the Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 2600XM series, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, and Cisco 3745.

---

Note Neither the Cisco AS5400 series NAS nor the Cisco MC3810 is supported with the integrated voice and data WAN on T1/E1 interfaces using the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 module.

---

If previous channel-group commands are configured with the aim keyword, subsequent channel-group commands without the aim keyword are rejected. Similarly, if a regular channel-group command is followed by another channel-group command with the aim keyword implemented, the second command is rejected on the Cisco 2600 and Cisco 2600XM.

A channel group using AIM HDLC resources is deleted only when a no channel-group command is entered.

By default, the channel-group command on a NAS sets the serial interface object encapsulation to HDLC. You must override the default by entering the encapsulation ss7 command for that serial interface object. Once you override the default, encapsulation cannot be changed again for that object. The SS7 encapsulation option is new to the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature and is available only for interface serial objects created by the channel-group command. The Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature added SLT functionality on Cisco AS5350 and Cisco AS5400 platforms.

A digital SS7 link can be deleted by entering the no channel-group channel-group-number command on the associated T1/E1 controller. The link must first be stopped using the no shutdown command. It is not necessary to remove the channel ID association first.

Use the channel-group command in configurations where the router or access server must communicate with a T1 or E1 fractional data line. The channel group number may be arbitrarily assigned and must be unique for the controller. The time slot range must match the time slots assigned to the channel group. The service provider defines the time slots that comprise a channel group.

---

Note Channel groups, channel-associated signaling (CAS) voice groups, and time-division multiplexing (TDM) groups all use group numbers. All group numbers configured for channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups must be unique on the local Cisco MC3810 concentrator. For example, you cannot use the same group number for a channel group and for a TDM group. Furthermore, on the Cisco MC3810, only one channel group can be configured on a controller.

---

The channel group number can be 0 or 1 on the Cisco SLT (Cisco 2611).

The channel-group command also applies to Voice over Frame Relay, Voice over ATM, and Voice over HDLC on the Cisco MC3810.

Examples

The following example shows basic configuration directing HDLC traffic from the T1/E1 interface to the AIM-ATM-VOICE-30 DSP card, starting in global configuration mode:

Router(config)# controller e1 1/0

Router(config-controller)# clock source internal

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31 aim 0

The following example explicitly sets the encapsulation type to PPP to override the HDLC default:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# controller t1 6/0

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 2 timeslots 3 aim 0

Router(config-controller)# exit

Router(config)# interface serial 6/0:2

Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp

Router(config-if)# ip address 12.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Router(config-if)# end

The following example shows how to explicitly set the encapsulation type to SS7 to override the HDLC default using the Integrated Signaling Link Terminal feature. This example uses an 8PRI DFC card inserted into slot 7, and DS0-timeslot 3 on trunk 5 of that card is used as an SS7 link:

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# controller t1 7/5

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 2 timeslots 3

Router(config-controller)# exit

Router(config)# interface serial 7/5:2

Router(config-if)# encapsulation ss7

Router(config-if)# channel-id 0

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Router(config-if)# end

The following example defines three channel groups. Channel-group 0 consists of a single time slot, channel-group 8 consists of seven time slots and runs at a speed of 64 kbps per time slot, and channel-group 12 consists of two time slots.

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 0 timeslots 1

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 8 timeslots 5,7,12-15,20 speed 64

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 12 timeslots 2

The following example configures a channel group on controller T1 0 on a Cisco MC3810:

Router(config)# controller T1 0

Router(config-controller)# channel-group 10 timeslots 10 64

---

Note SS7 digital F-link support for the 8PRI line card requires use of a third onboard TDM stream to route trunk DS0 messages to the onboard Media Gateway Controllers (MGCs).
