Creating a Line Interface

Applies to version(s): v2.9.

Line interface is a generic term for TDM physical interfaces. TelcoBridges products support 3 types of physical interfaces:

• T1/E1/J1 interfaces
• DS3 interfaces
• SONET/SDH interfaces

To create a new line interface:

1- Select TDM Line Interfaces from the navigation panel

2- Click Create New Line Interface to create a single interface ,or Create Multiple Line Interfaces to create many interfaces at once

3- Create the new line interface:

• Enter a name for the interface
• Set a type for the interface
• Set a local index for the line
• Select a length and an encoding scheme
• Click Create

4- Verify that the "Line interface was successfully created" message is displayed
