Slot.Port A drop-down of the ports (card.slot) in the selected device
that are DS1 or E1, depending on the port type being
configured.
Port Profile The available profiles for the port type (DS1 or E1) appear in
the drop-down list. When the port is provisioned, it will inherit
the attributes of that profile.
MLPPP Instance The MLPPP that the DS1/E1 will be associated with. When
more than one DS1/E1 is bundled together, each DS1/E1 is
associated with a PPP, and the PPPs are all associated with one
MLPPP. The pull-down has three attributes:
- The numbering of the MLPPP begins with the slot and an id
number starting at 8.
- The membership includes the members of the MLPPP and
shows Empty if there are no PPPs associated with the MLPPP.
- The provisioning status shows whether the MLPPP with this
id has already been created. If it has, it shows EXISTS. If not, it
shows NEW.
If there is only one DS1/E1 to be part of the connection (and
therefore only one PPP), there is no MLPPP instance and so
NONE should be chosen.
Note: The user can still create an MLPPP instance with
only one PPP if desired.
Timing Reference Where the port will get its clocking reference from. The
choices are:
- SELF - Itself
- CARD -
The “card-level” timing reference (See 5.5.14)
PPP
Configuration
PPP Parameters The parameters for the associated PPP. The default values are
displayed.
MLPPP Parameters The MLPPP parameters.
If NONE has been selected for the MLPPP Instance, these
fields are blank.
If an MLPPP instance is selected, and then a peer port is
selected, the MLPPP Instance field in the Peer Port
Configuration panel is activated.
VLAN Parameters
Peer Port
Configuration
(optional)
Device The device that contains the peer DS1/E1 port.
Port A drop-down of the ports (card.slot) in the selected device
that are DS1 or E1, depending on the port type being
configured
Note: A peer port can be on a different device or the
same device as the port, but cannot be on the same
card.
