Configuring Scramble
T3 scrambling is used to assist clock recovery on the receiving end. Scrambling is designed to randomize the
pattern of 1s and 0s carried in the physical layer frame. Randomizing the digital bits can prevent continuous,
nonvariable bit patterns—in other words, long strings of all 1s or all 0s. Several physical layer protocols rely
on transitions between 1s and 0s to maintain clocking.
Scrambling can prevent some bit patterns from being mistakenly interpreted as alarms by switches placed
between the Data Service Units (DSUs).
To configure scrambling, use the following commands:
Command
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface serial slot/subslot/port
Router(config-if)# scramble [0 | 1]
Verifying Scramble Configuration
Use the show interface serial command to display the scramble setting:
Router# show interface serial3/0/0
Serial3/0/0 is down, line protocol is down
Hardware is SPA-2XCT3/DS0
MTU 4470 bytes, BW 44210 Kbit, DLY 200 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation HDLC, crc 16, loopback not set
Keepalive set (10 sec)
