Installation 150-359-100-01, Revision 01 If you are installing an HXU-359 in a Soneplex Wideband 3190 that has a different multiplexer model, contact Customer Service. Do not mix multiplexers in a system. HXU-359 multiplexer cards can be installed in a Soneplex Wideband 3190 or a standalone ACE enclosure.
150-359-100-01, Revision 01 Provisioning ROVISIONING In a Soneplex Wideband 3190, the HMU-319 manages the HXU-359 by using Terminal Access Option (TAO) software. When installed in the ACE-358 chassis, the HXU-359 can also be provisioned directly from the HXU craft port. Refer to the Soneplex Wideband 3190 Installation Manual and the technical practice for the HMU-319 List 7A for complete information about connecting a maintenance terminal.
