E1 Interfaces Overview
E1 is a standard WAN digital communication format designed to operate over copper facilities at a rate of 2.048 Mbps. Widely used outside North America, it is a basic time-division multiplexing scheme used to carry digital circuits. The following standards apply to E1 interfaces:
- ITU-T Recommendation G.703, Physical/electrical characteristics of hierarchical digital interfaces, describes data rates and multiplexing schemes for the E Series.
- ITU-T Recommendation G.751, General Aspects of Digital Transmission Systems: Terminal Equipment, describes framing methods.
- ITU-T Recommendation G.775, Loss of Signal (LOS)
and Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) Defect Detection and Clearance Criteria, describes alarm reporting methods.
Note: The Juniper Networks E1 Physical Interface Card (PIC) does not support Channel Associated Signaling (CAS).
