CAUTION: If you cannot seat the card with light pressure, remove it and
check for obstructions.
5 Tighten the left and right screws on the front of the E1 card.
6 Wait 3 minutes (more on a SuperStack 3 NBX system with many devices).
When you insert the E1 Digital Line Card, it begins an initialization
sequence. Also, because you enabled the Auto Discover Digital Line Cards
check box, the system recognizes the addition of the E1 card and begins
to update its database. Allow 3 minutes for both of these processes to be
completed. On a SuperStack 3 NBX system with many devices, you may
need to allow more time. If you attach a console cable to the CONSOLE
port on the E1 card and use Hyperterminal software to view the text
output from the card, you will see status messages associated with the
initialization of the E1 card. See
in Chapter 10.
After the Auto Discover process is completed, you can verify that the E1
Digital Line Card has been properly discovered by using the NBX NetSet
utility, described next, and by examining the status light on the Digital
Line Card, described on
To verify the that the E1 Digital Line Card has been properly discovered
you can use the NBX NetSet Utility.

5 Click Apply. The ISDN PRI Channel List appears.
6 Scroll through the channel list to verify that 30 channels appear. Use the
MAC addresses of the channels to identify the ones associated with the
E1 Digital Line Card. The MAC addresses of the channels follow in
sequential order from the MAC address of the E1 Digital Line Card.
