I know nothing about the 6000 series, but the 40xx series manual describes
how the port numbers work. Here's how they work in the 40xx series:

T1/PRI digital analog
------ ------------- -------------
1 10101 - 10124 20101 - 20124
2 10201 - 10224 20201 - 20224
3 10301 - 10324 20301 - 20324

The first digit represents whether or not it's an analog or digital
connection (1=digital; 2=analog).
The next two digits represent the T1/PRI (WAN port). I don't know why it's
two digits.
The next two digits represent the T1/PRI channel.

I'd imagine that the 6000 series has some kind of rhyme or reason, but I
don't know what it is. The docs should say something about it.
