Usage Guidelines
This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 10.3.
Use this command in configurations where the router or access server must communicate with T1
fractional data lines. The T1 service provider determines which line-code type, either ami or b8zs,
is required for your T1 circuit. Likewise, the E1 service provider determines which line-code type,
either ami or hdb3, is required for your E1 circuit.
Example
The following example specifies B8ZS as the line-code type:
linecode b8zs
ami Specifies alternate mark inversion (AMI) as the line-code type. Valid for T1 or
E1 controllers.
b8zs Specifies B8ZS as the line-code type. Valid for T1 controller only.
hdb3 Specifies high-density bipolar 3 (hdb3) as the line-code type. Valid for E1
controller only.
