5.3.4.2 Port Tabs
Switch time delay on the port tabs is the amount of time that the DCS takes to switch over to the map
assigned to a specific port failure. Table 4-1 gives the map associated with each port in the event of a
failure. When the DCS discovers that a port has failed, it starts the switch delay timer. The DCS does
not switch over to the new map until the switch delay time expires. The default setting is 100
milliseconds (Figure 5-10).

Line build out is the required minimum strength level of the transmitted T1 signal. You can set this on
a port-by-port basis. It indicates the minimum distance in feet or strength in decibels required to
transmit to remote equipment. The default value is 0 to 133 feet (Figure 5-8).
5.3.4.3 Map Control Tab
Select Active Map
on the
Map Control
tab is set to
Automatic
by default, which allows for manual
map switching. You must run the DCS under normal operating conditions with either map 0 or the
alternate normal service map 7 in order to have error detection and switching on all six ports (
Normal
Map
in Figure 5-11).
Map 0
is the default.
