Optional Configuration Tasks
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
For T1 controllers
Step 2
Router(config-controller)# framing {sf |
esf}
For E1 controllers
Router(config-controller)# framing {crc4 |
no-crc4}
Step 3
Router(config)# exit
Verifying Framing Configuration
Use the show controllers command to verify the framing configuration:
Router# show controllers t1 0/1
T1 0/1 is up.
Applique type is Channelized T1
Cablelength is long gain36 0db
No alarms detected.
alarm-trigger is not set
Soaking time: 3, Clearance time: 10
AIS State:Clear
Framing is ESF, Line Code is B8ZS, Clock Source is Line.

Configuring Encapsulation
When traffic crosses a WAN link, the connection needs a Layer 2 protocol to encapsulate traffic. To set
the encapsulation method, use the following commands:

sf—Specifies Super Frame as the T1 frame type. (sf
•
is not supported.)
•
esf—Specifies Extended Super Frame as the T1
frame type. This is the default. for T1.
•

This is the default for E1.
•
no-crc4—Specifies no CRC4 as the E1 frame type.
Exits configuration mode and returns to the EXEC
command interpreter prompt.
LOF State:Clear
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Selects the interface to configure from global
configuration mode.
number—Specifies the location of the controller.
