Configuring Additional DS1 Ports

This section describes how to configure the DS1 port types (T1/E1) on the SBC 1000/2000 system. Using this feature sets the DS1 ports on the SBC 1000/2000 to either T1 or E1. In most geographical area only T1 or E1 is available. However, in some countries both are available and the SBC may be required to support both simultaneously.
