Configure HWIC-2CE1T1-PRI for Telsta E1 circuit in Australia

IRMAN SETIAWAN · ‎05-21-2012

We are doing hardware refresh for our offices in australia and having issue with bringing up the circuit on the new router.

The old router are all 2621 with WIC-1T and external CSU/DSU. The new router are all 2911 with HWIC-2CE1T1-PRI card.

Please see below for configuration pertaining to the E1 Controller

card type e1 0 0

network-clock-participate wic 0

controller E1 0/0/0

framing NO-CRC4

channel-group 0 timeslots 31

interface Serial0/0/0:0

bandwidth 1984

no ip address

ip flow ingress

encapsulation frame-relay IETF

service-policy output mpls_australia

!

interface Serial0/0/0:0.1 point-to-point

bandwidth 1984

ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.252

ip flow ingress

frame-relay interface-dlci 401 IETF

Here's the circuit information we received from Verizon:

CCS,31 CHANNEL E-1

                       CRC4-OFF,FRAMING FOR E-1

                       HDB3,HIGH DENSITY BIPOLAR 3

                       INTL,INTERNATIONAL

During the cutover, I can see the serial interface is up but line protocol is down, and pvc stayed in deleted state.

Does anyone see anything missing from the controller configurations based on the information that verizon had provided to us ?


Thanks

Irman,

The only thing that I see off the top is the channel-group config. Generally, you list how many channels you have and are including. In the US, we have T1s that have 24 channels. If I'm configuring the controller to use all of them, my channel-group configuration looks like:

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24

You could try this, but I'm not 100% sure how many channels an E1 has...

If there are 31, you could try:

channel-group 0 timeslots 1-31

HTH,

John
