Chapter 2 Installation
2. Set the Basic Settings to label and describe the TC8518. Please refer to Figure 3-
5, Web Application - Basic Settings.
3. Set up the new IP address for the TC8518. This page can be accessed from the
"IP Settings" link. Please refer to
page 3-9.
Note: After the IP has been applied, you will need to enter this new IP address in
your web browser.
4. Setup the T1/E1 channels. This can be accessed from the "T1/E1 Options:
Settings". Enable the channels to be used and edit each channel to the application's
settings. If multiple channels share the same configuration, it is possible to use the
"Copy Channel Settings". See
Chapter 3, on page 3-24.
5. Repeat the steps for the second TC8518 unit. Using the PC, ping both TC8518s to
verify a connection.
6. Connect fiber optic cables between the local & remote units. The local unit's TxA
connects to the remote unit's RxA, and the local unit's RxA connects to the remote
unit's TxA. The local TxB connects to the remote RxB, and the local unit's RxB
connects to the remote unit's TxB. Observe that the "SYNC", "OPT-A", and
"OPTB" LEDs lights solid when a good optic connection is present. With a PC
connected to only one TC8518, ping both units to verify a connection.
7. Conduct a Local Optical Loopback, and Remote Optical Loopback Test on each
unit (refer to Pages 7-76 through 7-81)
8. For Ethernet (10/100Base-T) signals, connect the Category 5 cable to one of the
RJ-45 switch ports on the front panel of the TC8518. Observe that the 100M, FULL/
COL, and LINK/ACT LEDs are on solid. If the Ethernet signal is 10Base-T and half
duplex, the 100M and FULL LEDs should be off. If the Ethernet signal is 100Mbps
and full duplex, the 100M and FULL LEDs should be lit.
Category 5 Cable Notes:
The TC8518 Ethernet ports are auto-sensing and auto-negotiating. This allows the
use of either a straight through CAT5 cable or a cross-over CAT5 cable. This also
means the TC8518 can detect the speed of the Ethernet connection without having
to configure it.
