Configuring the ISDN protocol

To use an E1 interface as an ISDN PRI, you need to create a PRI set by bundling timeslots other than timeslots 0 and 16. Timeslot 0 is used to transmit synchronization information, and timeslot 16 is used as the D channel for signaling transmission. For each PRI set, the system generates a serial interface and a logical digital voice interface. The serial interface is named serial interface-number:15, where interface-number is the number of the E1 interface. The serial interface has the same logical characteristics as synchronous serial interfaces and can be configured with ISDN settings.

A T1 interface is used in the same way as an E1 interface, except that it has 24 timeslots and timeslot 24 is used as the D channel for signaling transmission.

For more information about the ISDN protocol, see Layer 2—WAN Configuration Guide.

To configure the ISDN protocol:

Step

Command

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter E1 or T1 interface view.

controller { e1 | t1 } number

3. Bundle timeslots into a PRI set.
