Table 3-1. Individual Link Configuration Menu Field Descriptions
Field Description
Link Nbr: (display field) This field displays the Link Number (1-8) of the link that you are configuring.
Name: (text field) This is a user-defined field. Any name up to 20 alphanumeric characters can be
entered to identify each link on the D8E1T1 module. You may find it beneficial
to use circuit numbers to name the links.
Status: (option field) This field is used to select the state of the link. You can put the link
• In Service or Out of Service In Service - The link is active. When the link is In
Service you can run diagnostics.
• Out of Service - The link is not in use. The Out of Service mode suppresses
false alarms that would otherwise be generated by the absence of a received
signal. Also, all receive and transmit path time slots in the link are set from
Busy to Idle. You cannot run diagnostics when a link is Out of Service.
