Allocating Data Ports

Assign a specific port (Prt1 and Prt2 for Model 3172,

Prt1 through Prt4 for Model 3174) to DS0 channels on
either the Network interface or the DTE Drop/Insert
interface by using the configuration options. The
following methods are available to assign DS0 channels to
the port:

Block – Allows a block of contiguous channels to be

assigned by specifying a data port rate and an initial DS0
channel (the first DS0 channel in a block of DS0
channels). The number of channels assigned is determined
by the port rate. Only those initial DS0 channel numbers
that provide enough bandwidth (based on the port’s data
rate) are displayed on the screen. These channels are
automatically assigned to the destination E1 interface
when the initial DS0 channel is selected.

Chan – Individually selects the DS0 channels to

allocate to the data port. The data port rate is
automatically determined based on the number of
channels selected.

Once a port is selected, you have access to

configuration options to complete the port allocation
procedure. These configuration options enable you to,

•

Assign the selected port to the desired interface

•

Select the desired method for channel allocation

•

Select the port rate and starting channel (if the
allocation method is block)

•

Select the specific channels if the allocation method
is by individual channel

These configuration options are explained in detail in

Appendix C.
