T1 AND E1 OVERVIEW
The T1 and E1 interfaces are two different, independent standardized TDM (Time
Division Multiplexing) technologies. These technologies enable the transmission
of several (multiplexed) voice/data channels simultaneously on the same
transmission facility.

please refer “OmniAccess 5740 Unified Services Gateway Hardware Users
Guide”.
The T1 and E1 is designed for use in businesses. The T1 standard is mostly
deployed in Japan and North American countries, while the E1 is prevalent in
Europe and most of the Asian countries, including India. The E1s and the T1s
belong to the physical layer in the OSI reference model, thus Layer 2 technologies
like the FR, PPP, Cisco HDLC, MLPPP, MLFR, etc., are carried over it.
