This document is intended for individuals who configure, maintain, and troubleshoot CS 1000E systems. Conventions In this document, the CS 1000E system is referred to generically as "system." Related information This section lists information sources that relate to this document.
System terminal access for CP PII and CP PIV Call Servers Terminal Server Because each CS 1000E Core Call Server provides only two ports for serial devices, the Terminal Server is used to provide the necessary standard serial ports for applications and devices that require them, such as printers and Call Detail Recording (CDR).
Page 19
Figure 1 CS 1000E local and remote access system terminals With the CS 1000E, a system terminal can also connect directly to the Call Server, Signaling Server, Media Cards, and Media Gateway 1000T (MG 1000T). When a system terminal is installed directly on the CP PII or CP PIV Call Server, it connects to the com 1 port.
CS 1000. However, the TTY has no access to either LD 43 or LD 143. In survival mode, the SDI ports of the MG 1000E cannot be used to access the Call Server. Either port on the Signaling Server can be used for remote access.
Page 21
To use the 10BaseT Ethernet port, assign the port a unique IP address, and enable the port from the Call Server. The MG 1000E 10BaseT Ethernet port can run in Normal or Survival mode. In Normal mode, the MG 1000E does not provide access to maintenance or alarm management.
22 Communicating with the system MG 1000E card slot assignment The MG 1000E contains physical card slots numbered 1 to 10. When configuring the CS 1000 system, the physical card slot numbers must be transposed to loop, shelf, card. Connecting to the Media Card RS-232 maintenance port Connect a serial cable either to the rear P2 connector or to the faceplate connector, but not both.

Maintenance applications With TM Maintenance Windows, maintenance overlays are grouped into hardware-related windows. The TM interface provides a comprehensive view of the CS 1000E system hardware configuration. TM System Terminal Perform overlay-based tasks on the System Terminal through the TTY interface.
For more information about Element Manager, see Element Manager System Reference – Administration (NN43001-632). Accessing the system Use maintenance commands to disable, enable, and test system components. To perform system maintenance on the CS 1000E, use the following: • TM Server or TM Client PC •...

• an Active CPU or Call Server Redundancy (CS RED) LED Before CS 1000 Release 5.0, the CS 1000E Core Call Server was a CP PII or CP PIV processor in its own Call Server chassis. For CS 1000 Release 5.0, the CP PM Call Server sits in one of the slots in the MG1000E chassis.
Page 34
34 Hardware maintenance tools • In a system configured for Campus Redundancy, place the two CP PM Call Servers in separate MG 1000E cabinets to increase potential survivability. The NTDW61 CP PM Call Processor card functions only with the NTDW60 Media Gateway Controller (MGC) card and does not support the Small System Controller (SSC).
NTDW60 Media Gateway Controller card The NTDW60 Media Gateway Controller (MGC) card provides a gateway controller for MG 1000E IP media gateways in a CS 1000E system. The MGC card functions as a gateway controller for CP PII, CP PIV and CP PM Call Servers.
NTDW64 96-port DSP daughterboard. These daughterboards transcode between IP and TDM devices in a CS 1000E. The daughterboards eliminate the need for Voice Gateway Media Cards in an MG 1000E, although the system can contain both DSP daughterboards and Voice Gateway Media Cards, if desired.
52 Hardware maintenance tools Initialize button Similar to the Init button on the CS 1000E Core Call Server, the manual initialize (Man Int) button on the SSC card starts the Initialize program. The Initialize program can clear some equipment faults. It then rebuilds call-dependent data, and generates system messages indicating the status of the system.
The causes of major alarms are listed in minor alarms" (page When an MG 1000E is equipped with a power fail transfer unit (PFTU), a major alarm causes designated analog (500/2500-type) telephones to connect directly to Central Office trunks. This is called a line transfer.

Local access to the MGC debug shell For more detail about configuring MGC serial ports, see Communication Server 1000E Installation and Commissioning (NN43041-310) When you connect to an MGC TTY that is not configured as a system terminal, you receive no system prompt.
Clearing MG 1000E faults Clearing ELAN network interface faults On each MG 1000E, the MGC card connects to the ELAN subnet through the ELAN network interface. A CAT5 or 100BaseT Ethernet cable connects the ELAN network interface to a Layer 2 switch on the ELAN subnet.

Use the LD 32 command DISS l s (where l s are the loop and shelf numbers of the MG 1000E) to disable the link for testing. Test the IP connectivity between the CS 1000E Core Call Server and the Layer 2 switch by pinging the IP address of the Layer 2 switch.

Clearing trunk faults This section deals with trunk faults on either the MG 1000E or MG 1000T. Trunk circuit cards provide the interface between the system and Central Office (CO) trunks, or between PBXs. The maintenance telephone can be used to test trunks. Two types of trunk cards are considered: •...

Tag defective equipment with a description of the problem, and package it for return to a repair center. Figure 16 "CS 1000E power supply air filter" (page 132) Server power module air filter (P06094950). It consists of one aluminium frame and foam insert. The air filter foam kit (N0003712) contains ten replacement foam inserts.
Ensure the settings are the same as the existing circuit card. For information about settings see the Communication Server 1000E Installation and Commissioning (NN43041-310). Hold the SDI/DCH circuit card by the lock latches and slide it into its assigned slot until it connects with the backplane.
Replacing the NTAK92 off-premises protection module A lightening strike can cause failure of the NTAK92 protection assembly. The first indication of such a failure is an out-of-service telephone. To check for and replace failed protectors, follow the steps in for loop closure" (page 144)

From the main menu, select item 4 "New System Installation - From Software Delivery Card". Proceed with the Installation Menu choices as described in Communication Server 1000E Installation and Commissioning (NN43041-310).

SSC in the Media Gateway. When necessary use LD 117 to configure the new MAC address for the Media Gateway. See Communication Server 1000E Installation and Commissioning (NN43041-310). Reinstall the NTDK20 SSC circuit card in slot 0 of the Media Gateway.
After a reboot, the Media Card displays a fault code of the form F:xx on the faceplate LED display and the card cannot register with the CS 1000E. This indicates an unrecoverable hardware failure. If the Media Card displays the F:08 code, this can merely indicate that the Security Device is missing from the card.
Phone, IDU is effectively a "ping" command. Consequently, it can be used to test the end-to-end IP connectivity of the IP Phone. If the IP Phone is not registered with the CS 1000E, an NPR0048 message is generated. If the IP Phone is registered but idle, the system prints the IP Phone IP address and Media Card IP address and generates an NPR0053 message.
