Timeslot (TS) Assignment

TS Assignment is only available for the E1 Link, and can only be edited in Edit view. Note

The TS Assignment command allows you to program the routing of timeslots. A complete description of the TS assignment function is discussed below.

To configure TS parameters:


2. Do one of the following:

Click the shortcut key on the toolbar .

Or From the Configuration menu, select Physical Parameters followed by TS

Assignment.

The TS Assignment dialog box appears (Figure 3-3).



Figure 3-3. TS Assignment

A rectangular grid displays the timeslot assignments. Each row and each column represents the possible connections of a specific port.

Since all ports are connected to the MAIN E1 port, the top row shows the TS assignments of the MAIN E1. For the MAIN E1, there are 31 timeslots.

Colors, letters, and guides indicate information about the timeslots and ports represented in the grid. Their meanings are described below.

TS Color Codes

Since each TS has only one type and can be connected to only one port, each TS column can have only one cell with a letter inside. Both connection cells and port indicator cells use color codes to relay connection information.

Green + number TS in this port is connected and is not being used for Management.

Gray + number TS in this port is available for connection, but currently has no TS connection.

Blue + number TS in this port has no connections and cannot be TS connected.

Inside Cells Color Codes

Gray empty Cell's port has no current TS connections but can be TS connected.

Blue empty Cell's port has no TS connections and cannot be TS

connected.

Yellow + letter Cell's port has a valid TS connection of the type

indicated by the letter.

TS Letter Codes

The connection cells use letter codes to describe the type of the connected timeslots.

D Data



Port Name Color Codes

Green All of the port's connectable TS connections are connected.

Gray None of the port's connectable TSs are being used.

Yellow Some of the ports have TS connections. This is valid for

the MAIN or SUB ports only.

Selecting a Port Cell

To select a cell:

• Click on the desired cell.

A selected cell is outlined with a blue border

.

Creating a TS Connection

New TS connections are created only on gray cells (cells with connectable TSs).

To create a new TS connection:

1. Click an empty gray cell.

2. Click <Connect>.

Disconnecting TS Connections

You can disconnect individual TS connections or all TS connections in the selected port.

To disconnect an individual TS connection:

1. Click on a cell representing a TS connection (yellow).

2. Click <Disconnect>. The gray color indicates that the cell's ports have no TS connection but their TSs are connectable. If the cell becomes blue, TS connection is impossible between the two corresponding ports.

Resetting All TS Connections

To reset all TS connections:

1. In the TS Assignment dialog box (Figure 3-3), click <Reset All>. A confirmation message appears.

2. Click <Yes> to confirm the operation.

Exiting the TS Assignment Window

To apply your changes and exit the TS Assignment window:

• In the TS Assignment dialog box (Figure 3-3), click <Set>.



To exit the TS Assignment window without applying changes:

• In the TS Assignment dialog box (Figure 3-3), click <Cancel>.

Reading (Uploading) the Agent Configuration

Read is only available for TDM ports in Edit view. Note

The Read command uploads the current Agent configuration to the Edit Configuration mode. This command is only available when there is communication with the agent and when Link 1 is selected.

To upload the current Agent configuration:
