INSTALLING THE EMME
No special skills or tools are required to install the EMME into an
MMAC-FNB. Use the following guidelines when installing the EMME.
•
The EMME must be installed in slot 1 of the MMAC-FNB. (Identified
as the IRM slot in the older MMAC models.)
•
When installing the EMME into an MMAC-FNB, be sure that the
MMAC-FNB is properly equipped with a power supply module
(PSM-R) to supply power to the EMME.
•
RIC MIMs in an MMAC-FNB series hub should be positioned
contiguously to the EMME, from right to left. This insures that the
channels are not accidentally placed in stand-alone or desegmented
from the B or C channel. This does not apply to shunting
MMAC-FNBs where the data path remains unbroken allowing
communication to continue.
Install the EMME into the MMAC-FNB as follows:
1. Slide the EMME (Figure 3-2) into slot 1 of the MMAC-FNB’s card
cage. (Identified as the IRM slot in the older MMAC models.) Be sure
that the module is properly aligned in the top and bottom slot guides
and firmly press it into the backplane.
2. Secure the module to the MMAC-FNB by turning the knurled knobs.
Be sure that the module is firmly attached to the MMAC-FNB.
3. Power up the MMAC-FNB if it isn’t already on. The LEDs flash and
then extinguish for 30 to 40 seconds. After this period of time, the
BOK LED starts blinking.
NOTE
For proper seating and operation of the EMME and all
MMAC modules, fasten them securely using their front
panel thumbscrews.
