48-Line Master/Slave Configuration
Overview
Introduction
* Trademark of VINA Technologies, Inc.
A SLC ConnectReach system may be connected to a stand alone ConnectReach
system thereby doubling the maximum number of FXS lines. This configuration
requires a SLC ConnectReach system configured with the LCR
equipped with the DSP circuit card as a master system and a stand alone
ConnectReach system, configured for channel bank capability only, as a slave
system. This feature is supported for LCR/DID lines only. The secondary/
fractional T1/DSX-1 port of the master SLC ConnectReach system connects to
the network interface of the slave ConnectReach system to provide up to 48-lines
of service (24 lines from the master SLC ConnectReach system and 24 lines from
the slave ConnectReach system). The connection between the master and slave
units will always be ESF/B8ZS.
You must provision the SLC ConnectReach system connected to the host as
"'master" by setting the Has-Slave command in the Secondary/Fractional T1/
DSX-1 menu to ON. The ConnectReach system, interfacing through the master's
secondary/fractional T1/DSX-1 port, must be provisioned as "slave" by setting the
Is-Slave command in the Network T1 menu to ON. The metallic voice
frequency (VF) lines connected to the "master" system are provisioned as any
other SLC ConnectReach system configured with the LCR feature. The FXS
channels in the "slave" ConnectReach system cannot be provisioned through the
"master" SLC ConnectReach system but must be provisioned locally in the "slave"
system. The analog lines (25-48) representing these channels must also be
provisioned at the "master" SLC ConnectReach system in the Line menu. To
provision the VF metallic lines connected to the "slave" ConnectReach system,
refer to document 363-214-001, ConnectReach Access System, User/Service
and Ordering Manual. The "slave" ConnectReach system should also be
equipped with FXS cards with all channels provisioned as Channel-Bank with
loop-ground trunk signaling.
Although this configuration allows for up to 48 VF connections, a maximum of only
24 VF lines (DS0s) configured for digital trunk can be in use at a time because of
the capacity of the network T1/DSX-1 interfacing between the SLC ConnectReach
system and the SLC-2000 HDT.
