Configuring T3 Interfaces

T3 interface supports 4 ports. The channels on the T3 interface can be configured as either clear channel mode or channelized mode.


Note

T3 is supported only on Cisco ASR 900 RSP3 Module.

Information About T3 Interfaces

The following sections provide information about T3 interfaces.

Overview of T3 Interfaces

The T3 interface supports two modes, clear channel mode and channelized mode.

Benefits of T3 Interfaces

The following are the benefits of T3 interfaces:

  • Higher bandwidth

  • Flexibility by channelization

Enabling T3 Controller

To enable T3 controller:

enable
configure terminal
controller mediatype 0/4/12
mode t3
end

Configuring the Controller of Clear Channel T3 Interfaces

When the clear channel T3 interface is used for the first time, the running configuration does not show the T3 controller. You can use the show platform command to check whether the chassis recognizes the T3 port and initializes the card correctly. After the port is configured for the slot, the respective controller appears in the running configuration and you can configure the clear channel T3 interface.

Perform this task to configure clear channel controller as T3. 

 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
no channelized
clock source line
no shut
exit

Note

By default, the T3 controller is in C-Bit framing mode. To configure CEM, the framing mode must be set to unframed.

Verifying Controller Configuration of Clear Channel T3 Interfaces

Use the show controllers command to verify the controller configuration of clear channel T3 interface:

Configuring the Controller of Channelized T3/T1 Interfaces

When the channelized T3/T1 interface is used for the first time, the running configuration does not show the T3 controller. You can use the show platform command to check if the chassis recognizes the T3 port and initializes the card properly. After the port is configured for the slot, the respective controller appears in the running configuration and you can configure the channelized T3/T1 interface.

Perform this task to configure channelized controller as T3/T1.

enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
channelized
clock source line
no shut
exit

Note

The channelized mode is the default mode for T3 interface.

Verifying the Controller Configuration of Channelized T3/T1 Interfaces

Use the show controllers command to verify the controller configuration of channelized T3/T1 interfaces:

Troubleshooting T3 Controllers

You can use the following methods to troubleshoot the T3 controllers on the chassis:

Running Bit Error Rate Testing

Bit error rate testing (BERT) is supported on T3 interfaces. You can run 16 BERTs at a time. The test can be either of the T1 or the T3 interface.

The interface contains on board BERT circuitry. With this, the interface software can send and detect a programmable pattern that is compliant with CCITT/ITU O.151, O.152, O.153 pseudo-random, and repetitive test patterns. BERTs allow you to test cables and signal problems in the field.

When running a BERT test, your system must receive the same pattern that it is transmitting. So, ensure the two common options are available:

  • Use of a loopback somewhere in the link or network

  • Configuration of a remote testing equipment to transmit the same BERT test pattern at the same time

Both the total number of bits and the error bits received are available for analysis. You can select the testing period from 1 minute to 24 hours and you can also retrieve the error statistics anytime during the BERT test.

BERT is supported in two directions:

  • Line - supports BERT in TDM direction

  • System - supports BERT in PSN direction

BERT Patterns on T3/E3 Interface Module

Bit error rate testing (BERT) is supported on T3/E3 interfaces.

  • You can run 16 BERTs at a time.

  • The test can be either of the T1/E1 or the T3/E3 interface.

The BERT patterns on the 48-port T3/E3 interface module are:

Table 2. BERT Pattern Descriptions

1 Starting with Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar 16.12.1, 2^9 is supported on both T3 and T1 modes.
2 Starting with Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5, 2^11 is supported on both T3 and T1 modes.

Configuring BERT for Clear and Channelized T3 Interfaces

Before you configure BERT for clear channel T3 interfaces, ensure that controller and CEM are configured.

To run a BERT on clear channel T3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode. 
 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
no channelized
bert pattern 0s interval 30 direction line
exit

Note

To terminate a BERT test during the specified test period, use the no bert command.

You can view the results of a BERT test at the following points of time:

  • After you terminate the test using the no bert command

  • After the test runs completely

  • Anytime during the test (in real time)

Verifying the BERT Configuration for T3 Interfaces

Use the show controller command to verify the BERT configuration for clear channel T3 interfaces: 

# show controllers t3 0/4/12 | sec BERT 
BERT test result (running)

Loopback on T1/T3 Interfaces

You can use the following loopback on the clear and channelized T3/T1 interfaces.

Loopback

Description

loopback local

Loops the transmitting signal back to the receiver.

loopback network line

Loops the incoming signal back to the interface using the line loopback mode of the framer. The framer does not reclock or reframe the incoming data. All incoming data is received by the interface driver.

Configuring Loopback for T3 Interfaces
To set a loopback local on the clear channel T3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode: 
 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
loopback local
exit
To set a loopback network on the clear channel T3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode: 
 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
loopback network line  
exit
To set a loopback local on the channelized channel T3/T1 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode: 
 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
channelized
t1 1 loopback local
exit
To set a loopback network on the channelized channel T3/T1 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode: 
 
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/4/12
channelized
t1 1 loopback network line
exit

Note

To remove a loopback, use the no loopback command.


Note

Network payload configuration is not supported on SAToP. To configure loopback network payload when SAToP is configured, you need to remove the CEM configuration and then configure the loopback.

Loopback Remote on T1 and T3 Interfaces

The remote loopback configuration attempts to put the far-end T1 or T3 into a loopback.

The remote loopback setting loops back the far-end at line or payload, using IBOC (inband bit-orientated CDE) or the ESF loopback codes to communicate the request to the far-end.

Restrictions for Loopback Remote

E1 and E3 loopback remote are not supported until Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.4 release. Starting from Cisco IOS XE Fuji 16.9.5 release, E1 and E3 loopback remote are supported .

Configuring Loopback Remote on T1 and T3 Interface

To set T3 loopback remote line or payload for T3 or E3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/0/1
loopback remote {line | payload}
exit

To set T1 loopback remote iboc fac1/fac2/csu for T3 or E3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode:

enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/0/1
t1 1 loopback remote iboc {fac1 | fac2 | csu}
exit

To set T1 loopback remote iboc esf line csu/esf payload for T3 or E3 interface, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode: 

enable
configure terminal
controller t3 0/0/1
t1 1 loopback remote iboc esf {line csu | payload}

Verifying the Loopback Remote Configuration on T1 or T3 Interfaces

Use the following command to check the loopback remote configuration on a T3 interface module:

router# show running-config | sec 0/0/1
controller MediaType 0/0/1
mode t3
controller T3 0/0/1
threshold sd-ber 6
threshold sf-ber 3
no channelized
framing c-bit
cablelength short
loopback remote line

Use the following command to verify the loopback remote configuration on a T3 interface module:

router(config-controller)# do show controller t3 0/0/1
