Configuring a slot
Introduction
For the switch to communicate properly with the Meridian HomeOffice II Line
Card (HLC), it must recognize each HLC as an extended digital line card
(XDLC). This requires that each card slot occupied by an HLC must be
configured at the switch as an XDLC card slot.
Note: You can configure a slot either before or after the HLCs are inserted into
the switch.
To configure an HLC slot
Slot configuration requires configuring the switch via the SDI connection. Refer
to the documentation for the particular switch in which the HLC will reside to
complete slot configuration.
1
Log in to the system. See "LOGIN (L)" on page 91.
Result: The MMI presents you with the logged-on command prompt
(see "Command prompts" on page 91.)
2
Enter the HOST command to access the SDI connection. See "HOST
(HO)" on page 94.
Result: After you complete the sequence outlined on page 94, the switch
presents you with a "CONNECTED" message.
3
Follow the instructions in the switch's documentation for configuring a card
slot as an XDLC slot.
4
Repeat step 3 for each slot that holds or will hold an HLC.
5
Print the switch's slot configuration according to procedures outlined in the
switch's documentation to verify that the switch recognizes each HLC slot
as an XDLC slot.
6
Log out of the switch's SDI connection by entering the HOST logout
command, @@@, once correct configuration is confirmed.
