Configuring Channelized DS3-to-DS1 Interfaces
You can configure 28 T1 channels per T3 interface, and each interface can have logical interfaces. To specify the channel number, include it after the colon (:) in the interface name. For example, a 4-port T3 PIC in FPC 1 and slot 1 will have the following physical interfaces, depending on the media type:
where x is a channel number ranging from 0 through 27.
To configure channelized DS3-to-DS1 interface properties, you can include both the t1-options and t3-options statements. Only a subset of the T3 options is valid for this configuration, and the buildout, invert-data, and line-encoding statements at the [edit interfaces interface-name t1-options] hierarchy level are ignored. Likewise, only a subset of the DS0 options are valid for this configuration, and the bert-algorithm, bert-error-rate, bert-period, and loopback payload statements at the [edit interfaces interface-name ds0-options] hierarchy level are ignored. The following configuration lists all the valid parameters.
To specify options for the T3 side of the connection, include the t3-options statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:
The statements in the t3-options hierarchy are supported only for channel 0; they are ignored if configured on other channels.
To specify options for each of the T1 channels, include the t1-options statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:
For T1 channels on a channelized T3 interface, the clocking statement is supported only for channel 0; it is ignored if included in the configuration of channels 1 through 11. The clock source configured for channel 0 applies to all channels on the channelized T3 interface. The individual T1 channels use a gapped 45-MHz clock as the transmit clock. When you configure the clock source for a channelized interface—ds-fpc/pic/port :0, for example—you must also include the channel-group statement at the [edit chassis] hierarchy level, and specify channel group 0.
