iDSL (Model 3196RC) ports; 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN ports; or 32 H.110 ports. Within each port type,
port numbers begin with 1 and end with the total number of ports of that type (for example, 16 for G.SHDSL
and 32 for H.110). For instance, to define a connection for channel A using the T-DAC’s third DSL modem
port, you would select Port 3 as the value for Device Number A.
Device Slots A and B (daxDeviceSlotTo) (daxDeviceSlotFrom)
The Device Slots A and Device Slots B parameters define which 64-kbps time slots (also referred to as the DS0
data communications channels) will be used for channel A and channel B. The following time slots are available:
G.SHDSL modem port: 36 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 36 (36 64-kbps slots are needed to cre-
ate a 2.3-Mbps link).
iDSL modem port: 3 timeslots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 3
T1 WAN port: 24 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 24
E1 WAN port: 32 time slots (DS0s), numbered 1 through 32
H.110 streams can support up to 128 slots.
Note
You must define the same number of time slots for each side of the con-
nection. In other words, the number of time slots defined for Slots A
must be the same as the number of time slots defined for Slots B.
To configure the time slots parameter, enter a text string specifying which time slot numbers will be used for
the channel. You must enter a text string that comprises the following elements:
Numerals—Use numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to represent time slot numbers
Comma—Use the comma (,) to separate non-contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1,7,15 repre-
sents three timeslots numbered 1, 7 and 15.
Note
You can also use the comma to separate contiguous time slots. How-
ever, since it is inefficient and may be confusing, doing so is not rec-
ommended.
Dash (-)—Use the dash (-) to represent a series of contiguous timeslots. For example, the string 1–32 repre-
sents all timeslots between 1 and 32 inclusive (that is, time slot 1, time slot 32 and all time slots in
between).
Slot Numbering Examples
For example, to define a channel comprising timeslots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 15, either of the following entries
would be valid:
1,2,5,6,7,15
1,2,5-7,15
There are a maximum of 32 ports available for the H.110 bus,
but there could be as few as 4 ports available for the T1/E1
ports. If the port number selected is not within the range sup-
ported an error will be generated.
