The E1 frame is shown with 32 timeslots, top row left to right are TS0-15, while the bottom
row displays the settings for TS16-31. Press ENTER to assign the TS, use the arrow keys to move
to the next or previous TS. Designations shown are described as follows:
F = Framing (CCS/CAS) always on TS 00
S = Signaling (CAS) always on TS 16 if in CAS frame mode
. = not assigned
* = Data Channel uses this TS
Note:
TS 00: Cannot be assigned in CCS or CAS mode of E1 LINE to anything but Framing.
If TS 16 is assigned, the frame mode will not be able to be changed to CAS framing until the TS is
freed (not assigned).
TS 16: Will automatically be assigned to Signaling in CAS mode of E1 LINE and can only be used
for Signaling. Signaling is usually required when E1 is being used to transmit voice channels.
