Alternate Alternate channels are those which are assigned to a port
where every other channel carries user data, and the
channel before and channel after are unassigned. The DIU
fills each 8-bit word of the unassigned channel slots with
at least two ONEs, as outlined in AT&T TR 62421. (For
example, Port 1 = 1, 3 and Port 2 = 6, 8, 10.) Alternate
channel assignments allow the DIU 2130 and DIU 1130
to properly interface with the AT&T Accunet bundled
DS0 applications when unrestricted zeros applications are
required and B8ZS is not available.
Random The random channels are those which are not assigned in
either a contiguous or alternate sequence. Some carriers
allow users to create bundled DS0 applications with
channels assigned in any order they choose (i.e., random
channel assignments).
To assign DSO channels:
1. At the Port Channel Assignment / Port 2 Channel
Assignment lines of the DIU 2130 and DIU 1130 Option
Menus, press the key.
The T1 Allocation screen appears.
This screen allows the user to view which channels are already
allocated and which channels are available.
2. Enter the channel assignments of unused channels in order,
separating each channel from the next by commas. Contiguous
