Use E1 framing to select whether timeslot-0 is used for exchanging signaling data.
7. Click On or Off for the E1 CRC-4 Framing field.
Note
This option appears only if you set the E1 Framing field to E1 (channel 0 framing).
This option chooses the framing format for timeslot-0. On means that CRC-multiframe
format is used; the information is protected by CRC-4. Off means that double-frame format
is used. This setting must match the setting of the CSU/DSU at the other end of the link.
8. Click On or Off for the E1 Timeslot-16 Framing.
Click Apply.
Note
This option appears only if you set the E1 Framing field to E1 (channel 0 framing).
This option controls whether timeslot-16 is used in channel associated signaling (CAS).
Setting this value to On means that timeslot-16 cannot be used as a data channel. See
fractional settings on the Advanced E1 CSU/DSU Options page.

These messages are used periodically to test for an active remote system. The range is 0-
255. The default is 10.
Note
This value must be identical to the keepalive value configured on the system at the other
end of a point-to-point link, or the link state fluctuates.
