Overview:
The IMG 1010 will support either E1 or T1 spans on a single IMG but not both. If utilizing IMG for E1 protocol, the user can create up to a maximum of 24 spans. If utilizing the T1 protocol, the user can create up to a maximum of 32 spans. (See IMG 1010 - Specifications). The spans for either E1 or T1 can be created on the signaling or bearer interfaces located on the rear of the IMG 1010. Once the Bearer and Signaling Spans have been created there is a facility wizard which will allow a user to configure the profile of each span on a range of spans. When the Signaling Spans or Bearer Spans object in ClientView is selected there is a "Facility Wizard" button visible at the bottom of the span pane which will invoke the Facility Wizard. From the Facility the profiles of a range of spans can be configured.
