RADview FCD-IPD User’s Manual Chapter 3 Link and LAN Level
Figure 3-3. TS Assignment
A rectangular grid displays the timeslot assignments. Each row and each column represents the possible connections of a specific port.
Since all ports are connected to the MAIN E1 port, the top row shows the TS assignments of the MAIN E1. For the MAIN E1, there are 31 timeslots.
Colors, letters, and guides indicate information about the timeslots and ports represented in the grid. Their meanings are described below.
TS Color Codes
Since each TS has only one type and can be connected to only one port, each TS column can have only one cell with a letter inside. Both connection cells and port indicator cells use color codes to relay connection information.
Green + number TS in this port is connected and is not being used for Management.
Gray + number TS in this port is available for connection, but currently has no TS connection.
Blue + number TS in this port has no connections and cannot be TS connected.
Inside Cells Color Codes
Gray empty Cell's port has no current TS connections but can be TS connected.
Blue empty Cell's port has no TS connections and cannot be TS
connected.
Yellow + letter Cell's port has a valid TS connection of the type
indicated by the letter.
TS Letter Codes
The connection cells use letter codes to describe the type of the connected timeslots.
