NetXpress LX & CM-30 Installation & Operation Manual
Version 1, September 2010
This module acts as an IP network interface, a packet engine, and a system manager. When coupled
with the MA-230 module adapter (Section 1.4.3), the CM-30 module provides shelf management
control, WAN and LAN traffic control through 10/100Base-T ports, and timing control for external
stream traffic and system synchronization.
You can use a CM-30 module in place of, but not at the same time as, a T1 or E1 common module
(CM-3, CM-5, CM-5RB, CM-6, CM-7, or CM-7RB) in an existing Intraplex T1 or E1 multiplexer. You can
then revert back to T1 or E1 at a later date by simply removing the CM-30 module and reinserting the
original common module.
1.4.3 MA-230 Module Adapter
The MA-230 module adapter provides connectivity for the CM-30 module. The MA-230 module adapter
connects to the CM-30 module in the rear of the shelf and features these communication ports:
● Two 10/100Base-T ports (WAN and LAN)
● Timing in/out for external stream and system synchronization
● Contact I/O for external control

Other Modules and Module Adapters

The NetXpress LX system offers five channel card slots (1RU shelf) or 17 channel card slots (3RU
shelf) for Intraplex audio, voice, and data modules.
Intraplex module adapters are installed in the rear of the shelf and work in conjunction with the
channel access cards installed in the front.

Indicator Lights

Four system status indicator lights located on the NetXpress LX power supply are visible when the
front shelf cover is on (Figures 1-1 and 1-2).
● POWER – This green light is on when the multiplexer is powered.
● NORMAL – This green light is on when no major nor minor alarm is present.
● ALERT – This yellow light is on when a minor alarm condition exists.
● ALARM – This red light is on when a major alarm condition exists.
Section 5 defines major and minor alarm conditions.
The CM-30 module has indicator lights as well, which are visible when the front shelf cover is off.
Section 3.2.2 gives more information about CM-30 indicator lights.

1.5 Web Browser User Interface

You can control functionality of your NetXpress LX unit and access network statistics and system
status through the NetXpress LX Home page. You can choose to run simultaneous software windows;
each connected to a different NetXpress LX system in the network. The Web browser interface, in
conjunction with an SNMP network manager, lets you control and monitor your system from one
operation center. You can access the Home page from the network management system to research a
particular problem or obtain a graphical view of system configuration or status. Section 4 –
"Configuration & Operation" gives more information on this interface software.
