Chapter 4 Managing ASMi-52 via a Terminal ASMi-52 Installation and Operation Manual
4-34 Configuring the Physical Ports
Mapping E1 Timeslots
When working with framed E1, you can assign each timeslot to carry data or
transmit idle code. To assign the MNG timeslot, DTS mode must be set to enable
(see Figure 4-16). Only one timeslot can be assigned to MNG.

To assign E1 timeslots:
1. From the E1 Port Configuration menu, select Time slots assign.
The Timeslots Map menu appears (see Figure 4-38).
2. Assign a timeslot to carry data by typing the corresponding number and press
<Enter>.
The timeslot value changes to:
 DATA – timeslot is configured to carry user data
 MNG – timeslot is dedicated to carry management traffic
 NOT_CONNECT – timeslot is idle.
3. Repeat step 2 for all timeslots that you want to assign.
Alternatively, you can assign all timeslots to carry data at once by selecting
FULL, or disconnect all timeslots by selecting CLEAR.
• You can configure timeslot 0 to be looped or transparent:
 Looped – timeslot 0 is sent back to the E1 interface, when operating opposite
remote units with a serial data interface.
 Transparent – timeslot 0 is transmitted to the remote modem.
• If you operate ASMi-52 with the G732S transparent framing, timeslot 0 is always
transparent and timeslot 16 is always connected.
• When operating a 2-wire ASMi-52 with E1 interface opposite ASMi-52 with V.35
interface (not in LS mode), assign at least three timeslots, excluding timeslot 0, to
carry data.
• When operating a 4-wire ASMi-52 with E1 interface opposite ASMi-52 with V.35
interface (not in LS mode), assign at least six timeslots, excluding timeslot 0, to
carry data.
4. Once you finish assigning timeslots, press <Esc> return to the E1 Port
Configuration menu.
5. Save the changes.
