• When the T1 line is operating in framed (CT1) mode, you can bundle timeslots on it. The system
automatically creates a synchronous serial interface named serial number/line-number:set-number
for it. This interface operates at n × 64 kbps or n × 56 kbps, where n is the number of bundled
timeslots.
Configuring a CT3 interface in T3 mode
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter CT3 interface view.
controller t3 interface-number N/A
3. Configure the interface to
operate in T3 mode.
using t3
The default operating mode is CT3
mode.
4. (Optional.) Configure the
interface to operate in the FT3
mode and set the DSU mode
or the subrate.
ft3 { dsu-mode { 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 }
| subrate number }
By default, DSU mode 0 (the digital
link mode) is adopted, and the
subrate is 44210 kbps.
5. (Optional.) Configure the
interface description.
description text
Optional.
By default, the description of an
interface is interface-name
Interface.
6. Set the clock mode.
clock { master | slave }
The default clock mode for the CT3
interface is slave, which is line
clock.
7. Set the cable length.
cable feet
The default is 14.9 meters (49
feet).
8. Set the framing format for the
CT3 interface.
frame-format { c-bit | m23 }
By default, the framing format on
the CT3 interface is C-bit.
9. (Optional.) Set the loopback
mode.
loopback { local | payload |
remote }
By default, loopback is disabled.
10. (Optional.) Configure alarm
signal detection/sending.
alarm { detect | generate { ais |
febe | idle | rai } }
By default, alarm detection is
enabled and alarm sending is
disabled.
11. (Optional.) Start a BERT test.
bert pattern { 2^7 | 2^11 | 2^15
| qrss } time number [ unframed ]
By default, BERT test is disabled.
12. (Optional.) Configure FEAC
channel signal
detection/sending on the CT3
interface.
• feac detect
• feac generate loopback
{ ds3-line | ds3-payload }
• feac generate { ds3-los |
ds3-ais | ds3-oof | ds3-idle |
ds3-eqptfail }
By default, FEAC channel signal
detection is enabled, but no FEAC
signals are sent.
13. (Optional.) Configure MDL
message detection/sending
on the CT3 interface.
mdl { data { eic string | fic string |
| gen-no string | lic string | pfi
string | port-no string | unit string }
| detect | generate { idle-signal |
path | test-signal } }
By default, MDL message detection
and sending are disabled and the
default MDL message information
applies.
14. (Optional.) Restore the default
settings for the CT3 interface.
