set to match the entry in the Bit Rate field.
Line Coding
This field selects the type of line coding used on this facility. The setting in this

This field only appears if the Bit Rate field is 1.544 (that is, if you’re using T-1 
service). If you’re using E-1 service, DEFINITY ECS automatically selects 
CEPT1 framing.
Tip:
Lucent recommends using ESF when your service provider supports it, 
especially if you may someday upgrade the facility to ISDN. The ESF format 
provides enhanced performance measurements and uses a...

D-Channel
The Japanese 2Mbit trunk circuit pack, when administered to support ISDN-PRI 
signaling, allows you to assign the D-channel to any channel from 1 to 31 in an 
E-1 facility. You cannot submit the screen if this field is blank. Using the 
change 
ds1
 command, you can change this field if the D-channel is not used in a 
signaling group. This field appears only when the...

either end of the DS1 link must have complementary settings in this field: if not, 
the D-channel won’t even come up. For example, if the switch at one end of the 
link is administered as 
network, the other must be administered as user.

For E-1 service using channel-associated signaling, the entry in this field tells 
DEFINITY ECS whether the DS1 circuit pack is using...
