Configuring the ISDN PRI, Interface Serial 3/0:15

[bilalghayad]

Hi All;

I am facing a problem while trying to enter the commands under the interface serial 3/0:15, it is not taking the command.

Actually it accept interface serial 3/0 and it does not accept interface serial 3/0:15 as shown below:

IPCCTEMPVG1(config)#interface serial 3/0:15
                                         ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

But, it gave me a possibility if I write "?" after the 3/0 as shown below:

IPCCTEMPVG1(config)#interface serial 3/0?
.  :  <0-1>

IPCCTEMPVG1(config)#interface serial 3/0:?
  <2147483647-0>  Serial interface number

Any help?

And below is the output of show version:

Try to first configure the controller E1 interface like

controller e1 3/0

no shut

framing ...

....

Hi,

You will need to give the card type command, and then configure the controllers. The serial interface command will come after you configure the controllers.

Hello bilalghayad

Payal Bjaduri is absolutely right.

To bring up the serial interface just enter card type command.

Example:

card type {e1 | t1} slot

t1	Specifies T1 connectivity of 1.544 Mbps through the telephone switching network, using AMI or B8ZS coding.
e1	Specifies a wide-area digital transmission scheme used predominantly in Europe that carries data at a rate of 2.048 Mbps.
slot	Slot (port) number of the interface.

I have also attached my test configuration file. I hope it will help you.

With kindest regards

Dear Payal Bhaduri

I beg you pardon for my mistake.

[bilalghayad]

Dears;

I do not see card type in the command line, and I did no shut down for the controller and I added framing, but until now I am not able to configure the interface serila 3/0:15 !!!

What could be the problem?

Also, I am not able to type voice-port command from the config mode.

Any help?

Hi Bilal,

The serial interface will come up automatically after you configure the controller. You do not need to configure serial interface.

[bilalghayad]

I have to configure the encapsulation and the isdn switch-type which is not possible under the controller !

Actually we use the below configuration to make the controller up (but I am not able to type them on this gateway):

interface Serial3/0:15

no ip address

encapsulation hdlc

isdn switch-type primary-net5

no cdp enable

!

voice-port 3/0:D

bearer-cap Speech

!

voice-port 3/1:D

bearer-cap Speech

!

Appreciate your kindly help and reply.

Regards

Bilal

I am afraid there are any jumpers or something need to be done at the hardware level to be able to use the E1 ISDN?

Hi All;

As summary:

1) card type command is not available from the config mode.

2) I am not able to set pri-group timeslots (even after typing no shutdown):

VIVADRVG1(config-controller)#pri-group timeslots 1-31

%ISDN switch-type must be set first.

3) I can type no shut down and I can give the framing, but this is not helping to get the serial interface command: interface serial 3/0:15

The below is the output of the show version:

Hi

Here's a clue from your post:

VIVADRVG1(config-controller)#pri-group timeslots 1-31
%ISDN switch-type must be set first.

Have you tried setting the isdn switch type at global config level?

conf t

isdn switch-type primary-net5
