Channel-Group Groups

[am...@paxemail.com]

When configuring a T1 and setting up the timeslots you have an option
to set the channel group group number. What exactly does the
"channel-group" group number do? Normally, I plug in 1, but you can
set it from 0-23.

channel-group ?? timeslots 1-24 speed 64
(?? is where the group number would go.)

Thanks
Amy.

The channel-group number becomes part of the name of the serial interface
you create. For example, if you do this:

controller T1 2
channel-group 3 timeslots 1-24 speed 64

then this creates an interface called "Serial 2:3"

You can configure multiple channel-groups (and/or ds0-groups
if your platform supports it), so pick a unique channel-group/
ds0-group ID for each such group ... e.g.

controller t1 2
channel-group 0 timeslots 1-4 speed 64
channel-group 1 timestots 5-12 speed 64
ds0-group 2 timeslots 13-24 type e&m-fgb
