Compatible systems MCR is compatible with any system that can support an Extended Digital Line Card (XDLC), Extended Analog Line Card (XALC), Extended Message-waiting Line Card (XMLC), or Extended Universal Trunk (XUT) circuit pack. Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 19: Product Description
Product description Figure 1: Mini-Carrier Remote (sample configuration) Product description MCR remotes digital telephones, analog telephones, and analog trunks from a local switch. The system is modular in that the local site uses one Local Mini-carrier Interface card (LMI) and up to three Local Mini-carrier Extender cards (LMXs). At the remote site, a single Remote Mini-carrier Interface card (RMI), connected via one or two T1 carrier links to the LMI at the local site, controls up to eight standard IPE line cards.
Page 20: Local Site Components
The MCR system consists of three separate line cards. These line cards are the Local Mini- carrier Interface card (LMI), the Local Mini-carrier Extender card (LMX), and the Remote Mini- carrier Remote Interface card (RMI). The LMI and LMX cards take up two line card slots each. Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 21: Physical Description Of Cards
Physical architecture Due to spacing differences of the IPE cabinet at the local site and the cabinet at the remote site, two versions of each card are available. The MCR system also consists of three new cable assemblies. These assemblies are the LMI Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D85), LMI/LMX Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D86), and the RMI Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D87).

Physical architecture Figure 5: LMI Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D85) LMI/LMX Multi-I/O cable assembly The LMI/LMX Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D86) provides the local site interface between the LMI and up to three LMXs. This cable carries the DS-30X and MMI interfaces. See LMI/LMX Multi-I/O cable assembly on page 124 for pin-out information.
Page 26: Rmi Multi-I/O Cable Assembly
RMI Multi-I/O cable assembly (NT5D87) provides the remote site interface between the RMI and the MMI, Alarm, and the T1 carrier links. See RMI Multi-I/O cable assembly on page 125 for pin-out information. Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 27: Functionality
Functionality Figure 7: RMI Multi-I/O Cable Assembly (NT5D87) Functionality The Mini-Carrier Remote system can be user-configured to use only certain timeslots, allowing "drop-and-insert" channel banks to use the timeslots not used by MCR. This allows customers to use LAN bridges via the remaining timeslots to connect between local and remote LANs. MCR always uses the first two channels of T1 (channels 1 and 2).
Page 28: System Characteristics
• allows multiple LMIs in the same system to share a single 2400 or 9600 baud MMI terminal (LMXs are accessed through the appropriate LMI), • supports remote RS-232 serial data interface for the MMI, • is compatible with standard T1 test equipment for link diagnostic purposes, Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 29: Led Indicators
Functionality • provides automatic and manual fault detection, isolation and correction for MCR components similar to that of the Carrier Remote Interface product, • supports existing software diagnostic routines, • provides alarm notification for link performance degradation, and • supports up to 32 voice ports and 32 data ports through a single LMI and up to 22 simultaneous telephone calls for each T1 carrier link used.
Page 30: Daisy Chaining
The self-test checks all RAM, read/write locations, ASICS, and performs a complete T1 local relay loopback using the onboard test clock. A successful self-test is indicated by the faceplate LEDs flashing three times. The board will not go into service until the entire self-test passes. Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 31: Timeslot Assignment And Hold
Functionality If the LEDs do not flash three times, unseat the card using the faceplate ejector tabs, breaking the card's connection with the backplane. Re-insert the card and lock it in place with the ejector tabs. If the LEDs still do not flash three times, contact a sales representative about returning the card for repair or replacement.
Page 32: Blocking
Should the existing line cards be updated such that they operate on an expanded cardLAN message set, the MCR system must also be updated. Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 33: T1 Monitoring

Verifying mini-carrier links at the remote site To insure that all mini-carrier links are connected to their corresponding I/O cable connectors at the remote site, you must identify, test, and tag each mini-carrier link individually as follows: Mini-Carrier Remote Fundamentals March 2013 Comments? infodev@avaya.com...
Page 99 Verifying mini-carrier links at the remote site 1. Configure all mini- carrier links by executing the S C (Set Configuration) command. Any unused mini-carrier links must be configured as "unequipped" to prevent the mini-carrier alarm LED from being constantly ON. Default parameters should not be changed without good reason.

It requires that non-Mini-Carrier Remote system elements operate correctly before diagnosing Mini-Carrier Remote problems. For more information on maintaining the entire system, refer to Avaya Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Large System Maintenance, NN43021-700 and Avaya Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Small System Maintenance, NN43011-700.
Page 103 Maintenance overview Warning: Following this procedure results in the loss of ESAM data. To install or replace a daughterboard on an MCR card, follow the steps below: 1. Disable the card requiring the new daughterboard using LD32 (see xxx for procedure).

Page 107: Fault Isolation/Correction Using Mmi Maintenance Commands
MMI diagnostic tools Fault isolation/correction using MMI maintenance commands You can perform testing and troubleshooting of the Mini-Carrier Remote from a local or a remote MMI terminal or TTY by typing MMI commands on the terminal without loading system diagnostic programs (overlays). These commands provide current equipment status, invoke card testing, check equipment performance, and print messages from log files.
