1. To make a new connection, toggle through the menus to find the first DS1 in the connec-
tion (see
Figure
• If the first DS1 is part of an existing connection, a prompt appears to confirm the
removal of the existing connection.
• If a connection was destroyed, the first DS1 has to be selected again to create a new
connection.
2. Once the DS1 is selected, choose the second DS1 in the connection by specifying the
group and the DS1. If the second DS1 is part of an existing connection, a prompt appears
to confirm the removal of the existing connection and the creation of the new connection.
Method 2
1. From the Cross-Connect menu (see
Figure
5-3).
2. To make a new connection, enter one of the DS1s in the new connection, and press
a. Enter the type of DS1.
• A for DS3 A
• B for DS3 B
• P for DS1 Port (DSX-1 Drop)
• MA for Module A
• MB for Module B
b. Enter the number for the DS1.
Input examples are as follows:
• A1 identifies the first tributary DS1 in DS3 A.
• B28 identifies the last tributary DS1 in DS3 B.
• P1 identifies the first DS1 port (DSX-1 drop).
• MA1 identifies the first DS1 available to Module A.
• MB4 identifies the last DS1 available to Module B (assuming Module B supports four
DS1s).
3. A screen or prompt appears to signify whether the selection is currently mapped or
unmapped. Follow the instructions below for the applicable connection.
• If the selection is currently mapped to a T1, the Confirm Unmap/Map screen appears to
select yes to unmap the selected cross-connect or no to leave the connection as is. Once
the cross connect is broken, re-enter the first DS1 and follow the instructions below for
an unmapped DS1.
• If the selection is currently unmapped, the "MAP <selection> TO DS1:" appears at the
bottom of the View Map menu allowing another selection to be made to complete the
connection. If the second selection is currently unmapped, the connection is complete.
If the second selection is currently mapped to a T1, the Confirm Unmap/Map screen
provides a yes/no option to unmap the current cross connect and map the newly
selected cross connect.
