Section 4 – Setup & Configuration
This section describes the setup options for ACS-160 Series multiplexers and explains how to make
changes to them. After setup, go to these sections for additional information:
● Section 5 – “Remote Control Operation” gives information on using the remote access and control
feature.
● Section 6 – “Testing and Troubleshooting” gives information on diagnostic functions, including the
use of T1 loopbacks.
4.1 Customer Service Unit (CSU) Use
A CSU is required at each end of the circuit for equipment to be connected to a T1 line leased from a
telephone company. MA-215, MA-235-1, and MA-235-2 module adapters have a CSU provided;
however, other module adapters require an external CSU. The T1 output of the multiplexer connects
to the CSU, which converts it into the appropriate format for transmission to the telephone company
central office. The CSU may also perform additional features such as error logging. Consult your CSU
manual for setup instructions and information on the features it provides.
The T1 line code and frame format settings selected for the multiplexer must match those on the CSU.
Section 4.5 –
T1 Frame Format and Line Code (TSEL Group) describes how to set these functions.
4.2 CM-5RB Basic Configuration Group Menu
Figure 4-1 shows the user interface by which you can determine and change the basic configuration of
the CM-5RB module. The basic configuration provides most of the settings you need to make on the
CM-5RB module. Figure 4-2 shows the flow of the basic configuration group menu, and Table 4-1
supplements that information with a complete description of each group.
