INTRODUCTION
This appendix describes the procedures to be used in performing acceptance testing of the Total Access
MX2800 STS-1 Multiplexer. It is assumed that the MX2800 has already been installed, powered-up, and
cabled to the DSX-1 and STS-1 cross connects, according to the specifications described in the MX2800
User Manual and local operating company practices.
The MX2800 multiplexer consolidates 28 DS1 circuits onto an STS-1 circuit. Several configuration
options are available. This procedure addresses the following tasks:
•
Verify Installed Options
•
Configure the Unit for Test
•
Verify Data Throughput
•
Verify Alarms

VERIFY INSTALLED OPTIONS
The installed configuration determines the level of redundancy supported by the unit. One or two Power
Supply Units (PSU) may be installed; one or two Controller Card Units (CCU) may be installed. One of
each is required for non-redundant operation (two of each for full redundancy). Refer to
Installing Cards
on page 2-16 for instructions on removing the front panel and identifying the cards.
Inventory the cards installed using
If this card is installed...
Power Supply A (far left slot) installed?
Power Supply B (next slot to right) installed?
STS-1 Controller A (lower controller card) installed?
STS-1 Controller B (upper controller card) installed?
