T1/E1 Data WAN IP Config

[datamodule]

We are going to have new data Circuit and the termination handover is G703 Unframed E1 service and i have vwic2-1mft-t1/e1 Card on my 2800 series router.

I have the following questions

1) How to configure ip on this interface is it same as RJ45 or any different config is needed

2) Is there any specific settings we need to configure on this card for WAN link

3) It is 2MB circuit do i have to configure speed and duplex on T1/E1 Card

Thanks for your help

Hi,

You need to specify 'controller type' for the router to recognize the card. When you install the card and power up the router, keep an eye on output and it will list in there. As far as the configuration, check the below link...

Thanks for your reply sorry if i am asking repeated ones and i am new to this.

1) On SITE A we are going to get G703 Unframed E1 service and remote side they are going to get the x.21 serial interface (Unframed) connecting to router is it going to work or we have to do any special config

2) Does vwic2-1mft-t1/e1 card supports G703 Unframed E1 service?

3) Hand off is G703 Unframed E1 service (RJ45) why we are configuring serial interface as it is E1 service?

Hello,

Your provider gives you the list of the equipment you need depending on the site locations.

Are you told to get x.21?. if yes, you need a serial module on you router. vwic2-1mft-t1/e1  gives you R45 connection

1- It works if you get the correct modules/modems/cables.

2- yes, it supports

3- E1 is layer 1 interface. You need to configure Controller E1 to get serial interface. You configure L2 and L2 parameter on interface serial.

Hello,

Look at the link below.  check Table 2.       Cisco MFT VWIC2 Card Feature Comparison

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/3800-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/datasheet-c78-733859.html.

I think you it should be fine if you configure it in the way you did. Put all slots in one channel group.

[datamodule]

Thanks for you reply.I think the reason it is not showing unframed option is this card doesn't support "Data Support WIC Mode" and this only support voice mode.I have installed this on cisco 2800 WIC slot

This card doesn't support for unframed E1 G703.WE have tried today it didn't work

[datamodule]

I am going to purchase VWIC2-1MFT-G703 in one side of the router and on the remote site E1 unframed going to metadata DC 3000 from there we are taking X.21 to router this configuration should work without any issue or is there anything we need to get for remote site

Hello,

After configuration of card type and controller T1, you will see interface serial X.

1) interface serial X

  Ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

  no sh

2) Encapsulation must be the same on both side. Either HDLC or PPP.

interface serial X

Ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

encapsulation PPP or HDLC

3) You do not need to configure speed and duplex

For troubleshooting

Show interface serial X

You need to see  UP   UP
