Installation and configuration
Installation overview
This chapter describes the installation of Mini-Carrier Remote (MCR) as an
integral part of Meridian 1 system Options 11, 11C, 11E, 21, 21A, 21E, 51,
51C, 61, 61C, 71, 81, and 81C.
Note: Local-site installations are similar for all options. However,
Option 11, 11C and 11E local sites require LMI and LMX cards which
are different from cards for all other options.
The MCR facilities can be added to an existing Meridian 1 system by
installing the appropriate MCR equipment at the local site, installing one or
more RMIs at different remote sites, and linking Meridian 1 with those
remote sites using T1 carrier links.
MCR service can be added to existing Meridian 1 Options 11, 11C, 11E, 21,
21A, 21E, 51, 51C, 61, 61C, 71, 81, and 81C originally installed and
operating without MCR. It also can be an integral part of a newly installed
Meridian 1 system.
To install a new Meridian 1 system or expand an existing one, see System
Installation Procedures (553-3001-210), which gives information necessary
to install, verify, and maintain a Meridian 1 system.
Adding one or more MCR sites to a system is treated as a straightforward
system expansion; that is, the system should be fully operational before the
MCR equipment is installed and connected to the system. This simplifies
installation and fault isolation during installation.
General preinstallation and installation procedures are listed below.
