Functional Notes
T1 circuits using ESF framing format (specified using the framing command) reserve 12 bits as a data link
communication channel, referred to as the FDL, between the equipment on either end of the circuit. The
FDL allows the transmission of trouble flags such as the Yellow Alarm signal. Refer to
for related information.
Usage Examples
The following example disables the FDL channel for the T1 circuit:
(config)#interface t1 1/1
(config-t1 1/1)#fdl none
