Using the AQueView
This chapter describes how to set the values for the port and channel
configuration for the 1-Port Channelized STS-1e, T1 Format module using
®
the AQueView
Element Management System (EMS).
Be sure to complete the following actions first before configuring the 1-Port
Channelized STS-1e, T1 Format module:
•
Set the values to configure your basic system (see the appropriate
®
AQueView
Element Management System User Guide)
•
Set the values to configure the Stratum 3–4 module (see the appropriate
®
AQueView
Element Management System User Guide)
When configuring the 1-Port Channelized STS-1e, T1 Format module using
®
the AQueView
EMS, display-only fields are gray.
!
CAUTION:
When using a DSP2A, DSP2B, DSP2C, or DSP2D Voice Server module and
an Enhanced DS1 or E1 module with a PBX and/or key telephone system,
the PSAX system and your equipment should use a common chassis
ground connection to avoid ground current loops, which could affect
voice quality.
To aid network troubleshooting and testing, loopback capability is provided
for the 1-Port Channelized STS-1e, T1 Format module. The loopback option
on the module port and channel configuration window for the module
enables you to verify the integrity of a port by transmitting a received signal
back to the source. Selecting a loopback option is described in Chapter 3.
If configuring a pair of 1-Port Channelized STS-1e, T1 Format module in the
primary and standby setup, the desired loopback option must be configured
by the user on both the primary and standby modules prior to bringing the
pair into service. This parameter is applied on a port-by-port basis on both
the primary and standby modules. If the line loop or local loop configuration
is transferred from port A on the primary module to port B on the standby
module, the port parameter does not transfer; it must be pre-configured on
the standby by the user.
