The Subchannel-Definition is for the Z7300A 4-Channel E1/T1 interface only. In the Subchannel-Definition section, a subchannel entry must be defined for all subchannels that are referenced/configured by the X.25/9000 product. Each port has a fixed number of timeslots available. For E1, there are 31 timeslots (labeled 1-31) where each timeslot has a bandwidth of 64K bits per second (bps). For T1, there are 24 timeslots available (labeled 1-24) with each timeslot having a bandwidth of 56K bps.

The subch statement is used to associate one or more timeslots with a specific subchannel number of your choosing. Each timeslot number may only be used once on any given port. The bandwidth of the subchannel is equal to the bandwidth of the timeslot times the number of timeslots assigned to the subchannel. For example, you could define 3 T1 subchannels (1-3) with timeslots #1-8, 9-16, and 17-24. Each subchannel would have a maximum throughput of 448K bps in each direction.

Required parameters must be specified in the order shown. Optional parameters are specified with key-words.

Subchannel-Definition
Subch  in:p:sc  tmode  ITBS=n INV=ON/OFF  ts:sn:fm

Subch

The only valid subheading for the Subchannel-Definition section. Each subchannel must be defined as a separate record commencing with the subheading "Subch".

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

in

Interface card number (defined in the Interface-Definition section.)

p

Port number in E1/T1 interface card (0 - 3)

sc

Subchannel number within a port (1 - 31). You may pick any arbitrary number within the range listed.

tmode

Transmission mode:
TRANSA
TRANSB
V.110
HDLC


Transparent mode A
Transparent mode B or R
V.110/X.30 mode
HDLC mode

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

ITBS=n

Individual Transmit Buffer Size; where “ITBS” is the key-word and “n” is the input size. For undisturbed transmission an on-chip transmit buffer with a total size of 64 long words stores the data before formatting and transmitting. The individual buffer size specifies the part of the on-chip transmit buffer allocated to the channel.

As a general rule ITBS should be set to 2 X [number of timeslots assigned to subchannel]. Note that if all timeslots are assigned, the maximum value is 63.

INV=
ON/OFF

Inversion; where “INV” is the key-word, “ON” sets inversion, and “OFF” unsets it. If INV=ON, all data of the channel transmitted or received by the subchannel is inverted.

ts:sn:fn

Set timeslot assignment; where “ts” is the key-word for timeslot. The first “:” commences the transmit/receive timeslot number. The second “:” commences the transmit/receive fill mask.

For example:

ts:2:ffh
where 2 is the transmit/receive timeslot number and ffh is the hex value of the transmit/receive fill mask.

Examples:

Subch 0:1:2  HDLC  ITBS=2  INV=OFF  ts:1:ffh

or

Subch 0:1:4  HDLC  ITBS=4  INV=OFF  ts:3:ffh
