Must timeslot 24 (for a T1 controller) and timeslot 31 (for an E1 controller) always be configured?
A. Yes, timeslot 24 (for a T1 controller) and timeslot 31 (for an E1 controller) must always be configured even if you a fractional T1 or E1 controller. Typically, a T1 controller supports 24 ds0s and an E1 controller supports 30 ds0s, but your controller may support fewer ds0s, depending on the number of digital signal processors (DSPs).
