TDM is a mechanism that divides the bandwidth of a stream into separate channels or
timeslots by assigning each stream a different timeslot in a set. TDM repeatedly transmits a
fixed sequence of timeslots over a single transmission channel. Each individual data stream
is reassembled at the receiving end based on the timing.
Default n/a
buildout
Syntax buildout {long | short}
Context config>port>tdm
Description This command specifies the line buildout (cable length) for physical DS1 ports on the 16-port
T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card and 32-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card, or for physical DS3/E3
ports on the 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card.
Default short (this is the only option available for the 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card and 32-port
T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card)
Parameters long — sets the line buildout for length runs up to 450 ft (for the 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter
card only)
short — sets the line buildout for length runs up to 225 ft (for the 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter
card only) or up to 655 ft (for the 16-port T1/E1 ASAP Adapter card and 32-port T1/E1
