Figure 8-3: FRSM Lines Dialog


The Lines table parameters are described in Table 8-4.


Table 8-4: Lines Dialog Parameters
Parameter Description

Line Number

The line number.

Line Connector Type

The line connector type. Can be

  • db15

  • bnc

  • rj48

Line Enable

Used to disable, enable or modify a line.

Line Type

Indicates the variety of DS1 Lines implementing this circuit. The type of circuit affects the number of bits per second that the circuit can reasonably carry, as well as the interpretation of the usage and error statistics. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx1ESF: Extended SuperFrame.

  • dsx1D4: AT&T D4 format DS1.

  • dsx1E1: CCITT Recommendation G.704.

  • dsx1E1CRC: CCITT Recommendation G.704.

  • dsx1E1CRC-MF: G.704 (Table 4b) with TS16 multiframing enabled.

  • dsx1E1MF: G.704 (Table 4b) with TS16 multiframing enabled.

  • dsc1E1clearchannel: E1 clear channel, all DS0s can be used.

Line Coding

Type of zero code suppression used on the line, which in turn affects a number of its characteristics. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx1JBZS: Jammed Bit Zero Suppresion, in which the AT&T specification of at least one pulse every 8 bit periods is literally implemented by forcing a pulse in bit 8 of each channel. Thus, only seven bits per channel (1.344 Mbps) is available for data.

  • dsx1B8ZS: Refers to the use of a specified pattern of normal bits and bipolar violations, which are used to replace a sequence of eight zero bits.

  • dsx1HDB3: Used by E1 links, with or without CRC.

  • dsx1AMI: Refers to a mode wherein no zero code suppression is present and the line encoding does not solve the problem directly. In this application, the higher layer must provide data, which meets or exceeds the pulse density requirements, such as inverting HDLC data.

  • unused

The default value for T1 is dsx1JBZS and for E1 is dsx1HDB3.

Line Length

The line length. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • lineLength0to110Feet

  • lineLength110to220Feet

  • lineLength220to330Feet

  • localTiming: Indicates that a local clock source is used.

  • loopTiming : Indicates that the recovered receive clock is used as the transmit clock.

  • throughTiming: Indicates that recovered receive clock from another interface is used as the transmit clock.

Line Loopback Configuration

Line loopback configuration of the DS1 interface. Agents supporting read/write access should return badValue in response to a requested loopback state that the interface does not support. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx1LocalLoop: Local data is looped back.

  • dsx1NoLoop: Not in the loopback state. A device that is not capable of performing a loopback on the interface shall always return this as its value.

  • dsx1RemoteLoop: Received signal at this interface is looped through the device. Typically the received signal is looped back for retransmission after it has passed through the device's framing function.

Use Line Loopback Configuration to troubleshoot the network.

Type of Code Sent Across DS1

Indicates the type of code sent across the DS1 interface by the device. Choose one from the pop-up menu:

  • dsx1SendNoCode: sending looped or normal data

  • dsx1SendLineCode: sending a request for a line loopback
