Configuring Channelized Data
Overview Before you can use the Channelized Data option on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and
27x switch, you must configure the node for Channelized Data operation. This
section describes how to set up your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch for
Channelized Data operation.
Before You Begin Refer to the following list to make sure you have everything you need before you
begin to configure the Channelized Data option:
• Install a T1/E1 card in slot 8 on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch.
• If you want to pass both voice and data traffic, or just data traffic, make sure a
2 Mbps T1/E1 card is installed properly in slot 8 on your PathBuilder S24x,
26x, and 27x switch. If you want to pass voice traffic only, you can use a 512
kbps T1/E1 card.
• Obtain the timeslot information from your network service provider. The
timeslot information is needed to configure virtual ports for all your remote
connections.
• Install the software release containing the Channelized Data option in your
PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch.
• Make a CTP connection to the CTP port on your PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and
27x switch and begin to configure the Channelized Data option.
Frame Relay
Applications
For Frame Relay applications, you must configure a port and a station for every
timeslot with a unique destination.
What You Have to
Configure
You need to configure the following records and tables in your PathBuilder S24x,
26x, and 27x switch to perform Channelized Data operation:
Configure this Record/Table To do this...
Port record This sets up the physical T1/E1 ports on
the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x
switch performing Channelized Data.
See the “Configuring T1 and E1 Physi-
cal Ports” section on page 5-5.
Virtual Port Record (for each remote
connection)
This sets up a Virtual Port Record entry
for each connection between the Path-
Builder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch and a
remote node. See the “Configuring Vir-
tual Ports on the PathBuilder S24x, 26x,
and 27x Switch” section on page 5-18.
Virtual Port Mapping Table This sets up a timeslot for each
connection between the PathBuilder
S24x, 26x, and 27x switch and the
remote nodes. Refer to the “Configuring
Virtual Port Mapping Table” section on
page 5-20.
