2. If the system power and alarm indicator lights are cycling a pattern of Green, Yellow, Red, Yellow
(showing Normal, Alarm, Alert, Alarm), the configured system mode of the CM-30 bus mode does
not match the detected system. The CM-30 module is currently set to E1 mode but has sensed
that it is installed into a T1 multiplexer, or it is set to T1 mode but has sensed that it is installed
into an E1 multiplexer. Use the instructions in Section 4.3.3.3 – TDM Bus Information to configure
the system mode. The system bus mode does not change until after the CM-30 module resets.
3. Perform an initial network configuration of the system to define the IP address, subnet mask, and
any required forwarding. Note that, when you click Submit to change the network IP address for
the interface by which you are currently connected, you do not receive any further responses from
the CM-30 module.
4. Turn OFF the two switches on the CM-30 module so that it retains your new network settings on
the next reset or power cycle. Alternatively, you may eject the CM-30 module from its position in
the multiplexer, turn off the switches, and then re-insert the module. The module should return to
Learning mode, this time with the stored IP address.
5. Confirm that you are able to reconnect to the CM-30 module using the newly assigned IP address.
A.2.3 CM-30 & MA-230 Installation into the Second Multiplexer
A.2.3.1 Install the Second MA-230 Module Adapter
Use the same guidelines described in Section A.1.2 – Card Slot Selection to choose a location for the
MA-230 adapter at the second multiplexer. Perform the steps in Section A.2.1.1 – Install the First MA-
230 Module Adapter to install and secure this second module adapter into the second multiplexer.
A.2.3.2 Install the Second CM-30 Module
Use the guidelines and steps in Section A.2.1.2 – Install the First CM-30 IP Interface Module to install
the second CM-30 module into the second multiplexer.
A.2.4

Second CM-30 IP Interface Module Configuration

Use the guidelines and steps in Section A.2.2 – First CM-30 IP Interface Module Configuration to
configure this second CM-30 module in the second multiplexer and prepare the module to
communicate on your network. You should now be able to communicate with both CM-30 modules
using your own assigned IP addresses instead of using the factory default IP addresses.
A.2.5

Configuration of Both CM-30 Modules to Work Together

Configuring the two CM-30 modules to take over operation of the T1/E1 multiplexers and thus convert
the multiplexers to IP systems involves these processes:
1. Confirm that the channel modules installed in the multiplexer match the channel modules that the
CM-30 module registers.
2. Map the installed channel modules and services across the IP network.
3. Establish a synchronous operation.
4. Confirm the network operations.
A.2.5.1 Confirm the Installed Channel Modules Match the CM-30 Register
Access the Home page of each NetXpress LX/CM-30 Web interface to confirm the CM-30 module
registers the presence of the installed channel modules. The CM-30 module registers any installed
channel modules set to Remote Control mode and previously configured for operation by the T1/E1
