Enabling or Disabling the MCE1 Port
An MCE1 port is enabled by default when you add the circuit. You can disable or
reenable this MCE1 port without moving any cables.
See the Enable/Disable parameter on page A-25
for information.
Setting the MCE1 Line Type
Select one of the following line types to match your E1 equipment:
• E1 (the default)
• E1 CRC
• E1 MF
• E1 CRC MF
See the Line Type parameter on page A-25
for information.
Setting the MCE1 Line Coding
E1 uses bipolar format for signals. In bipolar format, alternating positive and
negative pulses on the digital line signify the number 1, and the absence of a pulse
signifies 0 (see Figure 6-2
in Chapter 6). A long string of zeros on an E1 line
would cause the line to lose synchronization due to lack of pulses. Bay Networks
provides a line-coding mechanism to maintain synchronization.
By default, the MCE1 interface uses high-density bipolar (HDB3) line coding.
You can select alternate mark inversion (AMI) line coding instead.
HDB3 line coding replaces a block of eight consecutive binary zeros with an 8-bit
HDB3 code containing bipolar violations in the fourth and seventh bit positions of
the substituted code. In the receive direction, the HDB3 code is detected and
replaced with eight consecutive binary zeros.
AMI line coding is also bipolar: a binary 0 is transmitted as zero volts, and a
binary 1 is transmitted as either a positive or negative pulse, opposite in polarity to
the previous pulse. When configured for AMI line coding, the MCE1 port remains
synchronized upon receiving up to 45 consecutive zeros.
Set the line coding for this MCE1 interface.
See the Line Coding parameter on page A-26
for information.
