Channelized T3 Support for the Cisco  AS5800

Feature Overview

The Channelized T3 (CT3) interface processor and port adapter are available on Cisco AS5800 access servers. This card provides for the aggregation of channelized interfaces into a single T3 facility. T3 support on the Cisco AS5800 allows support for 28 T1s (672 channels) per chassis.

Benefits

Channelized T3 allows increased port density and lower cost per port, and supports a standard, North American service. CT3 support allows users to maximize double-density modem technology in the Cisco AS5800.

Supported Platforms

This feature is supported on the Cisco AS5800.

Supported MIBs and RFCs

None

List of Terms and Acronyms

The following terms, in alphabetical order appear in this feature documentation:

DS1---The Digital Signal level for T1-class channels.

DS3---The Digital Signal level for T3-class channels.

T1---A North American standard T-Carrier, multiplexed system for channels.

  • Receiver is getting AIS.

  • Receiver has loss of frame (LOF).

  • Receiver has remote alarm.

  • Receiver has no alarms.

Includes runts, giants, no buffers, CRC, frame, overrun, and ignored counts.

CRC

Number of cyclic redundancy checksum (CRC) errors generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device. A CRC error occurs when the CRC value calculated from the data transmitted by the far-end device does not match the checksum value calculated from the data received at the near-end device.

frame

Number of packets received incorrectly having a CRC error and a non-integer number of octets.

overrun

Number of times the receiver hardware was unable to forward received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.

ignored

Number of received packets ignored by the interface because the interface hardware ran low on internal buffers.

abort

Invalid sequence of one bits on a serial interface. This usually indicates a clocking problem between the serial interface and the data link equipment.

packets output

Total number of messages transmitted by the system.

bytes (output)

Total number of bytes, including data and MAC encapsulation transmitted by the system.

underruns

Number of times the transmitter has been running faster than the receiving device can handle.

output errors

Sum of all errors that prevented the final transmission of packets out of the interface being examined.

collisions

Not applicable to the Cisco uBR7246.

interface resets

Number of times an interface has been completely reset.

output buffer failures

Number of times the output buffer has failed.

output buffer swapped out

Number of times the output buffer has been swapped out.

carrier transitions

Number of times the carrier detect signal of a serial interface has changed state. For example, if data carrier detect (DCD) goes down and comes up, the carrier transition counter will increment two times. Indicates modem or line problems if the carrier detect line is changing state often. If there are no problems, "no alarm present" is reported.

Timeslot(s) Used

Number of timeslots assigned to the T1 channel.

subrate

Bandwidth of each timeslot.

transmit delay is ...

Number of idle flags inserted between each frame.

Command Description

clear interface serial

Resets the statistical information for the specified serial interface.

t1

To create a logical T1 controller from each of the specified timeslots of the T3 line, use the t1 controller configuration command. Enter the no form of this command to delete the defined logical controller.

t1 ds1 controller
no t1
ds1 controller

Syntax Description

ds1

A timeslot within the T3 line. The valid timeslot range is from 1 to 28.

Default

None default behavior or values.

Command Mode

Controller configuration

Command History

Release Modification

11.3(5)AA

This command was first introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The purpose of this command is to convert the collection of the 28 T1 controllers comprising the T3 controller into individual T1 controllers that the system can use. In other words, the Cisco  AS5800 cannot pass data until a T1 controller is configured (using the controller t1 command), and you cannot configure a T1 controller until it has been created using the t1 command.

Example

The following example configures a logical T1 controller at T1 timeslot 1 for the T3 controller located in shelf 1, slot 4, port 0. Note that you have to enter the command from the controller configuration mode.

Router(config)# controller t3 1/4/0
Router(config-controller)# t1 1 controller
Router(config-controller)# end
Router#
