E1/PRI line.

connect your board to the line:
• Connection methods and requirements for connecting
to a T1/PRI line
• Connection methods and requirements for connecting
to an E1/PRI line
• Summary of steps to connect the board to the network
If your carrier provides a T1 line, continue to the next section.

T1/PRI Line
When you connect the board to a T1/PRI line, first determine
the appropriate connection method, cabling requirements, and
link requirements.
Connection Methods
If the distance to your carrier is less than 655 feet or 200
meters, you can connect the board in a DSX1 (short haul)
configuration directly to the T1/PR1 line.
