Table 9-1 Link Configuration Fields
Field Description
Link Number Displays the link number selected from the Link Configuration menu.
Name
(text field)
This is a user-defined field. Any name up to 20 characters in length can be
entered to identify each port on the Octal DS-1/E1. Some users find it beneficial
to use circuit numbers to name the ports.
Status
(option field)
This field determines the status of the port. The status will either be In Service or
Out of Service.
• In Service - an operational link that shows a valid configuration has been set
up. When the port is In Service you can run Diagnostics.
• Out of Service - a mechanism to avoid getting alarms. Out of Service also
causes the port to be inactive and you cannot run Diagnostics.

follows:
1. Short Haul and Long Haul line interface options are available with E1 line
types (i.e., how long the line is coming from your facility).
