TDM Commands

tdm

Syntax

tdm

Context

config>port

Description

This command enables the context to configure:

  • DS1/E1 parameters for a port on a channelized 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card, 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card, or 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card (DS3 ports only)

  • DS3 parameters for a port on a channelized 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card

  • DS3/E3 parameters for a port on a 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card

  • codirectional and teleprotection interfaces (TPIF) parameters for a port on an 8-port Voice & Teleprotection card

  • teleprotection interfaces (TPIF) parameters for a port on an 8-port C37.94 Teleprotection card

TDM is a mechanism that divides the bandwidth of a stream into separate channels or timeslots by assigning each stream a different timeslot in a set. TDM repeatedly transmits a fixed sequence of timeslots over a single transmission channel. Each individual data stream is reassembled at the receiving end based on the timing.

This command configures framing on a C37.94 port in a TPIF VC.

If the VC is configured for unstructured circuit emulation (satop-tpif) (only supported on the odd-numbered ports on the 8-port C37.94 Teleprotection card), the framing mode must be set to unframed.

The no form of this command removes the configuration.

loopback

Syntax

loopback {internal | line}

no loopback

Context

config>port>tdm>codir

config>port>tdm>tpif

Description

This command puts the specified interface into a loopback mode. The port must be shut down before loopback mode is enabled.

This command is not saved in the system configuration between boots.

The no form of this command disables the loopback on the interface.

Default

no loopback

Parameters

internal

places the port or channel into an internal loopback mode. An internal loopback loops the frames from the local router back to the framer.

line

places the port or channel into a line loopback mode. A line loopback loops data received on the port or channel back to the remote end.

report-alarm

Syntax

report-alarm {ais | los | rai}

no report-alarm

Context

config>port>tdm>codir

config>port>tdm>tpif

Description

The no form of this command disables logging of the specified alarm.

Default

ais for codir

rai for tpif

Parameters

ais

reports alarm indication signal errors (configurable for codir only)

los

reports loss of signal errors

rai

timing-8k

Syntax

[no] timing-8k

Context

Description

This command enables generation of an 8-kHz signal on a codirectional interface.

Default

disabled

ds1

Syntax

[no] ds1 ds1-id

Context

config>port>tdm

Description

This command enables the context to configure DS1 frame parameters on a channelized 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card, 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card, or 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card (DS3 ports only).

T1 transmits DS1-formatted data at 1.544 Mb/s through the network.

Once a channel has been configured for DS1, all ports on the card can only be configured for DS1. There cannot be a mix of DS1 and E1 channels on the same card.

The no form of this command deletes the specified DS1 channel.

Default

n/a

Parameters

ds1-id

the identifier of the DS1 channel

Values

DS1 number (1 to 28) | ds1-sonet-sdh-index

ds3

Syntax

[no] ds3 [sonet-sdh-index]

Context

config>port>tdm

Description

This command enables the context to configure DS3 parameters on a 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card or a 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card.

DS3 lines carry 28 DS1 signals and a 44.736 Mb/s data rate.

If DS3 links are provisioned on a channelized SONET/SDH Adapter card, you must provision the parent STS-1 SONET/STM0 SDH path first (this requirement does not apply to the 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card).

The no form of this command disables DS3 capabilities on the specified SONET/SDH path or DS3 port. The DS3 parameters must be disabled if a clear channel is enabled by default. A clear channel uses out-of-band signaling, not in-band signaling; therefore, the entire bit rate of the channel is available.

Default

n/a

Parameters

sonet-sdh-index

specifies the components making up the specified SONET/SDH path on the 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card

e1

Syntax

[no] e1 e1-id

Context

config>port>tdm

Description

This command enables the context to configure E1 parameters on a channelized 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card, 4-port OC3/STM1 / 1-port OC12/STM4 Adapter card, or 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card (DS3 ports only). E1 is a standard WAN digital communication format designed to operate over copper facilities at a rate of 2.048 Mb/s.

Once a channel has been configured for E1, all ports on the card can only be configured for E1. There cannot be a mix of DS1 and E1 channels on the same card.

The no form of this command deletes the specified E1 channel.

Default

n/a

Parameters

e1-id

the identifier of the E1 channel

Values

E1 number (1 to 21) | e1-sonet-sdh-index

e3

Syntax

[no] e3 [sonet-sdh-index]

Default

n/a

Parameters

sonet-sdh-index

specifies the components making up the specified SONET/SDH path on the 2-port OC3/STM1 Channelized Adapter card

config>port>tdm

Description

This command configures the encoding for the physical DS1 (T1) port. DS1 ports can be configured for either B8ZS (bipolar with eight-zero substitution) zero code suppression or AMI (alternate mark inversion). B8ZS and AMI are line coding techniques.

This command is supported on the following cards and platforms:

  • 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card

  • 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card

Description

This command configures the line length for the physical DS1 port on the 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card or 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card.

Line buildout settings must be adjusted with line length in order to ensure nominal operating voltage levels for receivers. Ideal receiver voltage levels should be < 3Vp.

Default

133

line-impedance

Syntax
