Viewing WAN Interface Status
The range of interface indices for a BRIMÕs interfaces will start after the indexing
of interfaces on the host device, and end at the last interface supported by the
WAN port. For example, for an ETWMIM that has a BRIM-W6 with a single
24-channel WPIM-T1 installed in the Þrst BRIM port, the BRIM interfaces will be
indexed from 3 (since ifIndex 1 and 2 are the ETWMIM Ethernet and Token Ring
interfaces) to 26 (since the WPIMs supports 24 interfaces). If there was a WPIM-SY
Synchronous port installed in the Þrst BRIM port, the T1 port interfaces would be
indexed from 4 to 27 (since ifIndex 1 and 2 are the Ethernet and Token Ring
interfaces, and ifIndex 3 is the Synchronous port interface).

Channels
Displays the 24 channels or timeslots available for interface assignments.
Max Bandwidth
Displays the bandwidth you have assigned to the current interface. This Þeld also
contains a percentage of the total T1 line bandwidth that the interface is using.
The bandwidth will not reßect your conÞguration until it has been saved.

Configuring the Fractional Table
When you open the FracTable ConÞguration window, the current conÞguration of
the fractional table will be displayed. The channels that are currently assigned to
the selected interface will be highlighted green.

1.
Click on the New button and use a “scratchpad” copy of the current
configuration to make changes on. When you use the “scratchpad” you can
switch back and forth to compare the current configuration that is being used
by the device and the configuration that you have set up on the “scratchpad”.
You switch back and forth between the New and Current templates by clicking
on the New and Current buttons at the bottom of the window.

Click on the boxes under the numbers of the channels that your wide area
carrier has assigned. The interface number will then appear in the box, and
the box will be colored in turquoise. In the preceding illustration, the wide area
carrier assigned channels (timeslots) 1-8 and 13-24 for use.

4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any other interfaces you want to assign to channels.
NOTE
We recommend that you use consecutive interfaces starting at the Þrst available interface.
