Configuring Multiline Services
The method you use to configure a multiline circuit depends on the types of lines
you need to group.
• For information on how to group logical lines into a multiline circuit, go to
“Grouping Logical Lines into a Multiline Circuit” on pa
ge 8-11.
• For information on how to group physical lines into a multiline circuit, see
“Grouping Physical Lines into a Multiline Circuit” on pa
ge 8-5 or “Adding
Physical Lines to a Circuit” on pa
ge 8-6.
• For information about how to use multiline with Frame Relay, refer to
Configuring Frame Relay Services.
Grouping Physical Lines into a Multiline Circuit
To group up to 16 physical synchronous lines into a multiline circuit:
1. Start at the Configuration Manager window.
2. Click on the appropriate link module connector.
You must select an E1, T1, MCT1, MCE1, HSSI, or Synchronous link or net
module connector.
The Add Circuit window appears (F
igure 8-3).
3. Click on the other connectors that you want to add to the multiline
circuit.
You must again select E1, T1, MCT1, MCE1, HSSI, or Synchronous link
module connectors.
4. Click on OK.
The connectors that you selected now form a group with a single circuit name.
For example, in F
igure 8-3, the lines connecting to COM2, COM3, and
COM4 now form one circuit called S42, which distributes traffic using
address pairs. To change the default traffic distribution method, go to
“Changing the Traffic Distribution Method,” later in this chapter.
5. Add the necessary protocols to this circuit.
See Configuring Bridging Services or the appropriate routing protocol guide
for instructions.
