Activating ISDN S/T and U Interfaces
You can set the BRI T3 timer which indicates the amount of time that the router
has to try and activate the ISDN S/T or U interface (ARN only). The router starts
this timer while the ISDN interface is deactivated and the router tries to activate it,
for example, when the router wants to send data. During this period, the router
sends INFO 1 frames across the ISDN interface until the network responds with a
signal or the timer expires. This timer prevents the router from attempting to
activate the ISDN interface interminably.
To modify the T3 timer enter:
t3-timer
<
integer
>
integer
can be a value from 1 to 30.
For example:
bri/1/1# t3-timer 10
The value you set should be greater than the time it would take to activate the
ISDN interface under normal conditions. You may want to ask your ISDN
provider for guidelines regarding the subscriber loop transmission, which might
affect the value you enter.
Modifying the BRI T4 Timer
The BRI T4 timer indicates the amount of time the router waits for the line to
recover from a deactivated state. This timer prevents brief, minor disturbances on
a noisy line from forcing the router to deactivate the circuit. Instead, the router
waits to see if the line recovers within the T4 timer period. This enables the router
to suppress minor line problems from the upper-layer protocols.
To modify this timer enter:
t4-timer
<
integer
>
integer
can be from
500 to 1000 milliseconds.
For example:
bri/1/1# t4-timer 600
If your line is noisy, enter the maximum time for the router to wait for the line to
reactivate.
