Installation; Maintenance - Avaya Nortel Communication Server 1000 Reference

Electromagnetic interference
The CS 1000E, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 systems meet the requirements of FCC Part 15
and CSA C108.8 electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards as a class "A" computing
device. To accomplish this, the SDI cables must exit the module through EMI filters on the I/O
panel.
Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for all SDI cards is 55 years at 40¡C and 29 years at
55¡C.

Installation

To use a serial data interface card in a CS 1000E, CS 1000M, or Meridian 1 system, first install
the card in the system, and then configure the system software to recognize it. These steps
are discussed in the following sections.
Instructions for cabling the serial data interface cards to the various system consoles and
peripherals are found in Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System
Installation and Configuration (NN43021-310).
Configuring the system software
Once an SDI card is installed in the system, the system software needs to be configured to
recognize it. This is done using the Configuration Record program LD 17. Instructions for the
Configuration Record program are found in Software Input/Output Reference — Administration
(NN43001-611).

Maintenance

The following maintenance programs are used to maintain individual SDI asynchronous ports.
The program used depends on the application of the port.
• LD 37 Input/Output Diagnostics – Used for system terminal, printer, background terminal
ports, and system monitor status.
• LD 42 Call Detail Recording (CDR) Diagnostic – For checking CDR links and CDR system
terminals.
