4.1 Overview of E-Carrier Interfaces

E-carrier interfaces can work in channelized, unchannelized, or clear channel mode.
Basic E-Carrier Concepts

The present digital transmission system uses pulse code modulation (PCM). PCM was
initially designed to enable multi-line telephony along a trunk cable between two telephone
exchanges. PCM has two incompatible international standards:
l European 30-channel PCM, which is also called E1
l North America 24-channel PCM, which is also called T1
E-carrier is a digital communication system recommended by the International

Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). It evolves
from E1 and has been applied in regions except North America.

Digital Carrier System

The carrier system enables a single physical communication channel to contain multiple
logical channels. Therefore, the carrier system supports multi-channel communication.
In the digital carrier system, a single large-capacity digital circuit supports multiple logical
channels, each of which supports one independent channel.
Working Mode
E-carrier interfaces can work in any of the following modes:
l Channelized mode: It is a framed mode in which all timeslots can be allocated to
multiple channels.
l Unchannelized mode: It is a framed mode in which all timeslots can be bundled only
once and allocated to only one channel.
l Clear channel mode: It is also called an unframed mode. There is no frame flag in the
data stream, and all bits in the data stream are data. The data in the data stream belongs
to only one channel.
Introduction to E1 Interfaces
A physical interface that is formed by E1 and can work only in clear channel is an E1
interface. A physical interface that is formed by E1 and can work in unchannelized or
channelized mode is a CE1 interface.
l In clear channel mode, or unframed mode:
An E1 interface forms a synchronous serial interface without timeslot division and with a
transmission rate of 2.048 Mbit/s. The E1 interface has the same logical features as a
synchronous serial interface. It supports link-layer protocols, such as PPP, TDM ,
HDLCand ATM, MP bundling,and network protocols, such as IP.
l In unchannelized mode, or framed mode:
A CE1 interface is physically divided into 31 timeslots numbered from 1 to 31. The
timeslots can be bundled once into one channel. For example, if timeslots 1 and 2 are
bundled into a serial interface of 128 kbit/s, the remaining timeslots cannot be bundled.
The serial interface has the same logical features as a synchronous serial interface. It
supports link-layer protocols, such as PPP, TDM , HDLCand ATM, MP bundling,and
network protocols, such as IP.
l In channelized mode, or framed mode:
A CE1 interface is physically divided into 31 timeslots numbered from 1 to 31. The
timeslots can be randomly bundled to form logical channels, each with a transmission
rate of N x 64 kbit/s.
All the timeslots can be grouped into multiple channel-sets. Each bundled channel-set of
timeslots is used as an interface with the same logical features as a synchronous serial
interface. It supports link-layer protocols, such as PPP, TDM , HDLCand ATM, MP
bundling,and network protocols, such as IP.
Introduction to CE3 Interfaces

A channelized E3 (CE3) interface is an E3 interface that can work only in unchannelized or
clear channel mode.
A CE3 interface has the following characteristics:

l In clear channel mode, also called the unframed mode, a CE3 interface functions like an
interface with the transmission rate of 34.368 Mbit/s and without timeslot division. The
CE3 interface has the same logical features as a synchronous serial interface and
supports link-layer protocols (such as PPP and HDLC).
l In unchannelized mode, also called the framed mode, all timeslots of a CE3 interface are
bundled to form a serial interface with the transmission rate of 32.768 Mbit/s. The serial
interface supports link-layer protocols (such as PPP and HDLC).
Introduction to Channelized Serial Interfaces

The serial interface formed by an E-carrier interface is called a channelized serial interface. A
channelized serial interface has the same logical features as a synchronous serial interface.
The naming convention for a channelized serial interface is "serial interface-number:set-
number," where interface-number specifies the name of the E-carrier interface, and set-
number specifies the number of the interface that the E-carrier interface timeslots are bundled
into.
4.2 Configuring a E1 Interface

Before you configure a channelized E1 interface, familiarize yourself with the usage scenario,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the configuration procedure for the
configuration.
Precautions
Before you use a E1 interface to carry upper-layer services, configure the E1 interface. Note
that:
l If a physical interface has no cable connected, run the shutdown command to disable
this interface to prevent interference with the interface.
l After you configure services on an interface, run the shutdown and then undo
shutdown commands in the current interface view to ensure that the configured services
are loaded onto the interface.
NOTICE
Running the shutdown command in a E1 interface view will disable the E1 interface and may
affect the normal operation of its channel-sets.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a E1 interface, power on the device and ensure that it is working properly.
4.2.1 Configuring the Working Mode for an E1 Interface

This section describes how to configure the working mode of a channelized E1 interface. E1
interfaces can work in either clear channel mode or channelized mode.
Context
An E1 interface can form serial interfaces with different transmission rates:

l If an E1 interface works in clear channel mode, the E1 interface forms a synchronous

serial interface without timeslot division and with a transmission rate of 2.048 Mbit/s.
l If an E1 interface works in channelized mode, timeslots 1 to 31 of the E1 interface can
be randomly bundled into channel-sets to form serial interfaces, each with a transmission
rate of N x 64 kbit/s.
The configuration of channelized mode is supported only on the Admin-VS.
Procedure
l Create a serial interface that works in clear channel mode.
a. Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
b. Run controller e1 controller-number
The E1 interface view is displayed.
c. Run using e1
The E1 interface is configured to work in clear channel mode, establishing a serial
interface without timeslot division and with a transmission rate of 2.048 Mbit/s.
You can run the interface serial controller-number:0 command to enter the serial
interface view.
d. Run commit
The configuration is committed.
l Create a serial interface that works in channelized mode.
a. Run system-view
c. Run using ce1
The interface is configured to work in channelized mode.
d. Run channel-set set-number timeslot-list slot-list
A serial interface with a transmission rate of N x 64 kbit/s is created. N stands for
the number of bundled timeslots.
To change the working mode of an E1 interface:
n Delete serial interfaces and their configurations and channelization
configurations before you run the using e1 command to switch an E1 interface
from the channelized mode to the clear channel mode.
n Delete clear channel configurations and serial interface configurations before
you run the using ce1 command to switch an E1 interface from the clear
channel mode to the channelized mode.
You can run the interface serial controller-number:set-number command to enter
the serial interface view.
e. Run commit

4.2.2 Configuring the Clock Mode for a CE1 Interface

A CE1 interface works in either master clock mode or slave clock mode. When two CE1
interfaces are directly connected, you must configure one to work in master clock mode and
the other in slave clock mode. When a CE1 interface is connected to a transmission device,
the CE1 interface must work in slave clock mode.
Context
A CE1 interface works in either of the following clock modes:
l Master clock mode: In master clock mode, a CE1 interface uses internal clock signals.
l Slave clock mode: In slave clock mode, a CE1 interface uses line clock signals.
When CE1 interfaces of two NE20Es are directly connected, you must configure one interface
to work in master clock mode and the other interface in slave clock mode. When the CE1
interface of the NE20E is connected to a transmission device, you must configure this
interface to work in slave clock mode and use the clock signals provided by the transmission
device.
Procedure
Step 1 Run system-view
Step 2 Run controller e1 controller-number
The CE1 interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run clock { master | slave }
A clock mode is configured for the CE1 interface.
Step 4 Run commit
----End
4.2.3 Configuring the Frame Format for a CE1 Interface

You can configure a CE1 interface to use a 4-bit CRC code to check physical frames.
Context
You can configure the frame format for a CE1 interface only when it works in channelized
mode.
Procedure
Step 2 Run controller e1controller-number

The CE1 interface view is displayed.

Step 3 Run frame-format { crc4 | no-crc4 }
A frame format is configured for the CE1 interface.
When setting the frame format of a CE1 interface, ensure that the local and remote ends are configured
with the same frame format.
Step 4 Run commit

----End
4.2.4 Configuring the Loopback Function for an E1 Interface

This section describes how to configure the loopback function on a channelized E1 interface.
The loopback function is used to check the interface or cable status. In normal situations, the
loopback function is disabled.
Context
The loopback function has two types:
l Local loopback: is used to locate a system fault.
l Remote loopback: is used to locate a link fault or test the quality of a link.
l To enable local loopback on an E1 interface, ensure that the clock of the E1 interface works in
master mode.
l To enable remote loopback on an E1 interface, ensure that the clock of the E1 interface works in
slave mode.
This configuration process is supported only on the Admin-VS.
Procedure
Step 3 Run loopback { local | remote } [ autoclear period hold-time ]
The loopback function is enabled on the E1 interface.
To enable the E1 interface to delete the loopback configuration after a specified period,
specify autoclear period hold-time in the command. This function takes effect when
loopback is enabled. After the time specified by hold-time elapses, the loopback configuration
is automatically deleted.
Step 4 Restart the E1 interface.

1. Run shutdown
The interface is disabled.

2. Run commit

3. Run undo shutdown
The interface is enabled.
After the configuration is complete, the configuration takes effect only after the interface is restarted.
Step 5 Run commit
----End
4.2.5 Configuring ES-TCA Alarm Thresholds on a CE1 Interface

If the threshold for triggering an ES-TCA alarm is set and the number of E1 code errors
exceeds the threshold, an alarm will be generated.
Procedure
The view of a specific CE1 interface is displayed.
Step 3 Run trap-threshold es-tca trigger-threshold trigger-threshold resume-threshold resume-

threshold
The thresholds for triggering and clearing an ES-TCA alarm are set.
----End
4.2.6 Verifying the CE1 Interface Configuration

After you configure a channelized E1 (CE1) interface, verify the configurations and status of
the CE1 interface.
Prerequisites
A CE1 interface has been configured.
Procedure
l Run the display interface serial [ interface-number ] command to check the status and
statistics of a serial interface.

l Run the display controller e1 [ controller-number ] command to check the

configurations and status of a CE1 interface.
----End
4.3 Configuring an E3 Interface

This section describes how to configure an E3 interface to carry upper-layer services.
Precautions
When configuring E3 interfaces to carry upper-layer services, note the following:
l If an E3 interface on the device is idle (no cable is connected to the interface), run the
shutdown command to shut down the E3 interface to prevent it from being interfered.
l After configuring services on an E3 interface, run the shutdown and then undo
shutdown commands in the interface view for the services to take effect.
l The shutdown and undo shutdown commands run on an E3 interface also take effect
with the serial interface created on the E3 interface. However, the shutdown and undo
shutdown commands run on a serial interface takes effect only with the serial interface.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring an E3 interface, power on the device and ensure that the self-check
succeeds.
4.3.1 Creating a Synchronous Serial Interface on an E3 Interface

Before using an E3 interface to transmit data, you must create a synchronous serial interface
on the E3 interface.
Context
Depending on the E3 interface working modes, you can create the following two types of
synchronous serial interfaces on an E3 interface:
l If the E3 interface works in clear channel mode, an unframed synchronous serial
interface with a bandwidth of 34.368 Mbit/s is created.
l If the E3 interface works in unchannelized mode, a synchronous serial interface with a
bandwidth of 33.831 Mbit/s is created after you manually create a framed E3 channel.
By default, an E3 interface works in unchannelized mode.
This configuration process is supported only on the Admin-VS.
Procedure
l Create a synchronous serial interface on an E3 interface working in clear channel mode.
a. Run system-view
The specified E3 interface view is displayed.

c. Run using e3
The E3 interface is configured to work in clear channel mode, and an unframed
synchronous serial interface with a bandwidth of 34.368 Mbit/s is created.
After the synchronous serial interface is created, you can run the interface serial
controller-number command to display the view of the synchronous serial interface.
d. Run commit
l Create a synchronous serial interface on an E3 interface working in unchannelized mode.
a. Run system-view
c. Run using ce3
The E3 interface is configured to work in unchannelized mode.
d. Run e3 framed
A framed E3 channel is created, and an unframed synchronous serial interface with
a bandwidth of 33.831 Mbit/s is created.
After the synchronous serial interface is created, you can run the interface serial
controller-number command to display the view of the synchronous serial interface.
e. Run commit
----End
4.3.2 Configuring Loopback on an E3 Interface

To monitor the status of an E3 interface or the cable connected to the E3 interface, configure
loopback on the E3 interface.
Context
Loopback can be either local loopback or remote loopback.
l To locate a system fault, enable local loopback on an E3 interface.
l To locate a link fault or test the link quality, enable remote loopback on an E3 interface.
NOTICE
Local loopback must be configured in master clock mode, and remote loopback must be
configured in slave clock mode.
Running the loopback command will cause interfaces or links unable to work properly.
Therefore, exercise caution when running the loopback command. After checking the
interface or link status, immediately run the undo loopback command to disable loopback.

Procedure
The view of the E3 interface to be checked is displayed.
Step 3 Run loopback { local | remote }
Loopback is enabled on the E3 interface.
Note the following when enabling loopback on an interface:
l The interface that has local loopback enabled must work in master clock mode.
l The interface that has remote loopback enabled must work in slave clock mode.
By default, loopback is disabled.
Step 4 Run commit
----End
4.3.3 Configuring a Clock Mode for an E3 Interface

An E3 interface works either in master clock mode or slave clock mode.
Context
An E3 interface has two clock modes:
l Master clock mode: The E3 interface uses internal clock signals.
l Slave clock mode: The E3 interface uses clock signals provided by an external device.
When two routers are directly connected through E3 interfaces, configure one E3 interface as
the master clock and the other E3 interface as the slave clock.
By default, an E3 interface works in master clock mode.
Perform the following steps on a router.
Procedure
Step 3 Run clock { master | slave }
The clock mode of the E3 interface is configured.
Step 4 Run commit
