AS5300, Quad E1/PRI and unframed E1 ?

Hello all,

I've an AS5300 with 8 Channelized E1/PRI ports (Quad Cards With 4 Serial Interfaces) using the following firmwares :

- c5300-is-mz.122-2.XA.bin

- mica-modem-pw.2.9.4.0.bin

I wonder if I can configure the E1 controller as unframed E1 "channel-group 0 unframed " because I tried to do it and It says: "% Invalid input detected at '^' marker."

Does the firmware and the E1/PRI Card support that ? if the problem is any or both firmware version, which one should be used. if it's the E1/PRI card doesn't support it which card is the adequate solution

Thanks a Lot

Nope, the channelized E1s on the AS5xxx platforms do not support unframed operation. Only up to a 30*64=1920kbps channel-group.

Thanks Aron for your answer,

Could you please tell me which E1 Card should I use with the AS5300 to can apply unframed E1, because I read on some cisco web pages some configurations where the AS 5300 is used with E1 unframed.

Which is the reference of the adequate Card , it's importante to me because the company has only the AS5300 and are connected to the backbone using 2048 Kb.

Thanks a lot

In order to run unframed 2048Kbps E1 into an AS5300, you would have to use one of the following cards:

AS53-4CE1+ AS53-8CE1+

The "+" indicates that, in addition to the 4 or 8 channelized E1 ports, the card also has 4 high speed (up to 8Mbps) serial ports.

Then you would need to connect an external CSU/DSU that supports 2048Kbps unframed E1 to one of these serial ports.

Cheers,

Aaron
