WPIM Line Configuration Fields
The configuration fields displayed on the WAN Physical Configuration
screen shown in Figure 3-1 are specific to the T1 mode of the
WPIM-RT1.
The service provider (i.e., AT&T, Sprint, MCI, Bell Atlantic, etc.)
determines the settings for the following fields. Consult the
NOTE
service provider for the correct settings.
T1 Timeslot View (Toggle)
Displays the status of the Timeslot Configuration Table. This field toggles
between Active and New. The field comes up with the default setting
Active. The Active setting displays current Timeslot Configuration table
settings. The New setting allows you to change Timeslot Configuration
table settings. The default setting for the Timeslot Configuration table is
all Timeslots not assigned (000).
T1 Line Coding (Toggle)
Displays the line coding for the physical T1 line. This field toggles
between B8ZS and AMI. The default setting is B8ZS.
T1 Frame Type (Toggle)
Displays the T1 Frame type. This field toggles between ESF and D4. The
default setting is ESF.
T1 Tx Clock Source (Toggle)
Displays the T1 Transmit Clock Source. This field toggles between
Loop-Timing (Extracted Line Data) and Local-Timing (Internal Clock).
The default setting is Loop-Timing.
T1 Line Buildout (Selectable)
Displays the line coding for the physical T1 line. Set this to 0 dB unless
the service provider recommends another setting. The default setting for
this field is 0 dB. The following settings are available in this field:

T1 Loopback (Selectable)
Network Loopback is a testing procedure that segments the line and
allows the user to isolate faults. The selections for this field are None,
Line-Loop, and Payload-Loop. In Line-Loop the entire T-1 line is looped
back, including the framing bits, CRC, and the facility data link. This
happens before the framer. In Payload-Loop, only the 24 time slots are
looped back, which happens behind the framer, and does not include the
framing bits, CRC, and facility data link. The WPIM-RT1 must be in
Loop-Timing mode to use this option. The default setting is None.
3.1.3
WPIM Timeslot Configuration Table
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration table allows the user to configure the
way in which the Cabletron WAN module uses the T1 line. The
configuration table consists of 24 Timeslots. Each Timeslot must be
assigned an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface
number or 000 if the Timeslot is not used). When an entire T1 line is
leased, all 24 Timeslots (the full T1 bandwidth) can be used. If only a
fraction of the T1 line is leased, the service provider indicates which
Timeslots to use.
Timeslots can be utilized in any way chosen. The WPIM-RT1 supports
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits
(Timeslots) within the public network. For example, if the WPIM-RT1
has access to a full T1 (24 Timeslots), and the user wants to communicate
with two other sites, the configuration might look like the one shown in
Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-3 shows a sample configuration for three sites. Of the 24
Timeslots, Site #1 uses 16 to communicate with Site #2 and the remaining
8 to communicate with Site #3. This configuration varies tremendously
depending on how the service provider maps out the T1 Timeslots. The

association with a Protocol Manager, the physical port and MIB II, using
the DLCI field in the Interface screen. If the DLCI is not static, it will be
deleted if the Frame Relay switch determines that the DLCI has been
eliminated. If the Frame Relay switch previously reported status on a
DLCI, when it does not report the status of the DLCI, the DLCI and its
associated information is deleted from the platform. Static entries are
never deleted automatically. They must be deliberately deleted by the
user. To enter a DLCI, it is set to “Inactive” and saved, but to delete a
DLCI, it must be accessed and entered as “Invalid” and saved.
