Configuring T1 or E1 Interfaces

This chapter provides the information about how to configure a T1 or E1 interface.

Setting the Card Type

To set the card type for the T1/E1 interfaces, complete these steps: 

 
enable
configure terminal
card type t1  0 1
exit

Configuring the Controller

To configure T1 interface, use the following commands: 

 
enable
configure terminal
controller t1 0/1/0
clock source internal
framing esf
cablelength short 110
linecode b8zs
no shut
exit

Note

For T1 interface, the default frame mode is Extended Super Frame (ESF).

To configure E1 interface, use the following commands: 

 
enable
configure terminal
controller e1 0/1/0
clock source internal
framing crc4
linecode hdb3
no shut
exit

Note

For E1 interface, the default frame mode is Cyclic Redundancy Check 4 (CRC4).

Staring with Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.7.1, the cable length short values are modified for the following interface modules:

  • A900-IMA48D-C
