Linecode Configuration and Supported Patterns

The following pattern for linecode configuration is supported for T1 or E1.

Configuration Using AMI Linecodes at Both Ends (UUT (AMI) and TESTER (AMI))

When both sides are configured as AMI, the linecodes match and the T1 or E1 controller is always UP with a smooth traffic flow.

Configuration Using Different Linecodes at Both Ends (UUT (AMI) and TESTER (B8ZS or HDB3))

  • The line codes do not match when one side is configured with AMI and other side is configured with non-AMI codes such as B8ZS or HDB3. Based on the pattern that is inserted, there is change in the behavior.

  • For 511 QRSS pattern, although the line codes do not match, the controller is UP. The controllers go DOWN for other patterns.

  • Each pattern is unique and contains a combination of ones and zeros. Only the pattern 511 QRSS is supported. If patterns other than 511 QRSS are used, then LOS is generated, and controller goes to the DOWN state.

The following table details the configuration using same and different linecodes at both ends and the pattern that is supported on T1 (UUT mode) controller:
