Configuring T1 (FT1) WAN Interface Cards
The 1-port T1 and fractional (FT1) WAN interface card includes an integrated data service unit/channel
service unit (DSU/CSU) and can be configured either for full T1 service at 1.544 Mbps or for
fractionalized T1 service. You can configure the interfaces on your T1 WAN interface card manually by
entering Cisco IOS commands on the command line. This method, called configuration mode, provides
the greatest power and flexibility.
Timesaver
Before you begin, disconnect all WAN cables from the router to keep it from trying to run the AutoInstall
process. The router tries to run AutoInstall whenever you power it ON, if there is a WAN connection on
both ends and the router does not have a valid configuration file stored in nonvolatile random-access
memory (NVRAM) (for instance, when you add a new interface). It can take several minutes for the
router to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) host.
Before you begin configuring the BRI interface, make sure you:
