bert e1
To start or stop a configured bit error rate test (BERT) on an E1 controller or channel group, use the bert e1 command in EXEC mode. To return to the default state, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
interface-path-id
Physical interface or virtual interface.
Note Use the show interfaces command to see a list of all interfaces currently configured on the router.
For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (?) online help function.
channel-group channel-group-number
(Optional) Channel group number. When an E1 data line is configured, channel group numbers can be values from 0 to 30.
Note For any of the DS0 time slots within the time slot range provided for the channel group, use time slot -1 as the channel number.
error
(Optional) Injects errors into the running BERT stream.
start
Starts the BERT on the E1 controller or channel.
stop
Stops the BERT on the E1 controller or channel.
Command History

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
For the interface-path-id argument, use the following guidelines:
- If specifying a physical interface, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:
- If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.
Note
Before you can start a BERT on an E1 controller or channel group, you must configure a BERT pattern using the bert pattern command. If desired, you can also adjust the default setting (1 minute) of the BERT interval using the bert interval command. Both of these commands are available in E1 configuration mode and channel group configuration mode.
To view the BERT results, use the show controllers e1 command in EXEC mode. The BERT results include the following information:
- Type of test pattern selected
- Status of the test
- Interval selected
- Time remaining on the BERT
- Total bit errors
- Total bits received
BERT is data intrusive. Regular data cannot flow on a line while the test is in progress. The line is put in an alarm state when a BERT is in progress and restored to a normal state after a BERT has been terminated.

cablelength
To specify the distance of the cable from the routers to the network equipment, use the cablelength command in T3 or E3 configuration mode. To restore the default cable length, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
You can specify a cable length from 0 to 450 feet; however, the hardware recognizes only two ranges: 0 to 49 and 50 to 450. For example, entering 35 feet uses the 0 to 49 range. If you later change the cable length to 40 feet, there is no change because 40 is still within the 0 to 49 range. However, if you change the cable length to 50, the 50 to 450 range is used. The actual number you enter is stored in the configuration file.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the cable length for the router to 300 feet:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# controller t3 0/6/0/0 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# cablelength 300cablelength long
To increase the pulse of a signal at the receiver and to decrease the pulse from the transmitter using pulse equalization and line build-out for a T1 cable, use the cablelength long command in T1 configuration mode. To return the pulse equalization and line build-out values to their default settings, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
db-gain-value
Number of decibels (dB) by which the receiver signal is increased. Use one of the following values:
The default is gain26.
db-loss-value
Number of decibels by which the transmit signal is decreased. Use one of the following values:
The default is 0db.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Use the cablelength long command to configure DS1 links (meaning, to build CSU/DSU links) when the cable length is longer than 655 feet.
A pulse equalizer regenerates a signal that has been attenuated and filtered by a cable loss. Pulse equalization does not produce a simple gain, but it filters the signal to compensate for complex cable loss. A gain26 receiver gain compensates for a long cable length equivalent to 26 dB of loss, whereas a gain36 compensates for 36 dB of loss.
The lengthening or building out of a line is used to control far-end crosstalk. Line build-out attenuates the stronger signal from the customer installation transmitter so that the transmitting and receiving signals have similar amplitudes. A signal difference of less than 7.5 dB is ideal. Line build-out does not produce simple flat loss (also known as resistive flat loss). Instead, it simulates a cable loss of 7.5 dB, 15 dB, or 22.5 dB so that the resulting signal is handled properly by the receiving equalizer at the other end.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to increase the receiver gain by 36 decibels and decrease the transmitting pulse by 15 decibels:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)#controller t1 0/4/2/0/1 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-t1)#cablelength long gain36 -15dbcablelength short
To set a cable length of 655 feet or shorter for a DS1 link, use the cablelength short command in T1 configuration mode. To delete the cablelength short value, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Use the cablelength short command to configure DSX-1 links when the cable length is 655 feet or less. This command is supported on T1 controllers only.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to set the cable length for the DS1 link to 655 feet:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# controller t1 0/4/2/0/1 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-t3)# cablelength short 655ftchannel-group
To configure a DS0 channel group and enter channel group configuration mode, use the channel-group command in T1 or E1 configuration mode. To unassign a channel group, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
channel-group-number
Note Channel group number. When a T1 controller is configured, channel group numbers can be values from 0 to 23.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The channel-group command is available only on channelized SPAs.
Use the channel-group command in configurations in which the router must communicate with a T1 or an E1 fractional data line. The channel group number may be arbitrarily assigned and must be unique for the controller. An associated serial interface is created with each defined channel group.
Before the channel group configuration is valid, you must define the associated DS0 time slots using the timeslots command.
Use the no channel group command to delete a channel group.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to enter channel group configuration mode for channel group number 5 and change the speed of the underlying DS0s in the channel group to 56 kbps:
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)# controller t1 0/6/0/0/10 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-t1)# channel-group 5 RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-t1-channel_group)# speed 56The following example shows how to associate DS0 time slots 1, 6, 8, 9, and 10 to channel group 5:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
When specifying a channelized T1 controller, use the following guidelines for the interface-path-id:
- The naming notation is rack/slot/module/port/T3Num/T1num.
- The slash between values is required as part of the notation.
- The following list describes the components of the notation:
- If specifying a virtual interface, the number range varies, depending on interface type.
- When specifying a virtual tributary group, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port/vtg/vt. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:
rack—Chassis number of the rack.
slot—Physical slot number of the line card.
module—Module number or subslot (for a SPA). A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0.
port—Physical port number of the interface.
vtg—Virtual tributary group.
vt—Virtual tributary instance.
To view the status of the controllers, use the show controllers t1 command.

For the interface-path-id argument, use the following guidelines:
- When specifying a T3 controller, the naming notation is rack/slot/module/port/T3num. The slash between values is required as part of the notation. An explanation of each component of the naming notation is as follows:
rack—Chassis number of the rack.
slot—Physical slot number of the line card or SIP.
module—Module number or subslot (for a SPA). A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0.
port—Physical port number of the interface.
T3num—T3 controller number.
To view the status of the controllers, use the show controllers t3 command.
Task ID
Examples
The following example shows how to clear controller data for T3 controller 1 that is located in chassis 0, for a SIP installed in slot 6 with a SPA in subslot 2, and port 0 with T3 controller 1:

Command History
Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
The local interface configuration must match the remote interface configuration. For example, if you reduce the maximum bandwidth to 16,000 on the local port, you must also do the same on the remote port.
The dsu bandwidth command reduces the bandwidth by padding the E3 and T3 frame.
To verify the data service unit (DSU) bandwidth configured on the interface, use the show controllers t3 or show controllers e3 command in EXEC mode.
When G.751 framing is used on E3 links, DSU bandwidth can be used to select a payload subrate from 34,010 kbps down to 22 kbps. Before framing bypass can be used, a DSU bandwidth of 34,010 kbps must be configured.
Although software allows the user to configure a continuous range of bandwidths in subrate modes, vendors support bandwidths only in quantums (for example, in a ADC Kentrox T3 link, bandwidth must be in multiples of 500 kbps). Therefore, the software sets the user-configured bandwidth to the closest vendor-supported bandwidth. Use the show controllers t3 or show controllers e3 command to display the actual bandwidth that is configured.
The following table shows DSU modes and vendor-supported bandwidths.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Refer to Table 1 for more information regarding the modes.
The local interface configuration must match the remote interface configuration. For example, if you define the data service unit (DSU) interoperability mode as digital-link on the local port, you must also do the same on the remote port.
You must know what type of DSU is connected to the remote port to determine if it interoperates with a T3 or an E3 controller. The dsu mode command enables and improves interoperability with other DSUs.
To verify the DSU mode configured on the interface, use the show controllers t3 command in EXEC mode.

T1 channel is operating. The channel state can be up, down, or administratively down. Loopback conditions are shown by (Locally Looped) or (Remotely Looped).
mode
Mode of the T1 controller, which can be ATM.
timeslots
DS0 time slots assigned to the T1 channel.
FDL per spec-name spec.
Performance monitoring is through Facility Data Link based on ANSI T1.403 specification or AT&T standard specification number 54016.
Receiver has no alarms.
Any alarms detected by the T1 controller are displayed here. Possible alarms are as follows:

Framing type on the channelized controller. Values are ESF and SF.
Line Code
Line coding format on the channelized controller. Values are AMI or B8ZS.
Clock Source
Clock source on the T1 channel. Values are internal and line.
Data in current interval (seconds elapsed)
Shows the current accumulation period, which rolls into the 24-hour accumulation every 15 minutes. The accumulation period is from 1 to 900 seconds. The oldest 15-minute period falls off the back of the 24-hour accumulation buffer.
Line Code Violations
Line Code Violations (LCVs) is a count of both Bipolar Violations (BPVs) and Excessive Zeros (EXZs) that occur over the accumulation period. An EXZ increments the LCV by one regardless of the length of the zero string.
Slip Secs
Controlled slip second (CSS) is a 1-second interval that contains one or more controlled slips.
Fr Loss Secs
Frame loss seconds (SELS) is the number of seconds for which an out-of-frame error is detected.
Line Err Secs
Line errored seconds (LES) is a second in which one or more line code violation errors are detected.
Degraded Mins
Degraded minute (DM) is a minute in which the estimated error rate exceeds 1E-6 but does not exceed 1E-3. For more information, see RFC 1406, Definitions of Managed Objects for DS1 and E1 Interface Types.
Errored Secs
Errored seconds (ES) is a second with one or more path coding violations, one or more out-of-frame defects, or one or more controlled slip events or a detected AIS defect.
Bursty Err Secs
Bursty errored seconds (BES) is a second with fewer than 320 and more than one path coding violation error events, no severely errored frame defects, and no detected incoming AIS defects. Controlled slips are not included in this parameter.
Severely Err Secs
Severely errored seconds (SES) is a second with 320 or more path code violation errors events, one or more out-of-frame defects, or a detected AIS defect.
Unavailable Secs
Number of seconds during which the interface was not available in this interval, referred to as UAS.
Stuffed Secs
Stuffed seconds (SSS) is a second in which one more bit stuffings take place. This happens when the Pulse Density Enforcer detects a potential violation in the output stream and inserts a 1 to prevent it. Such bit stuffings corrupt user data and indicate that the network is configured incorrectly. This counter can be used to help diagnose this situation.
Near-end path failures
Total number of near-end path failures.
Far-end path failures
Total number of far-end path failures.
SEF/AIS Secs
Total number or Severely Errored Framing (SEF) and Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) errors.
