MAX 3000 Installation and Basic Configuration Guide
Setting Up and Testing the MAX Hardware
Connecting to the LAN
Connecting to the LAN
To connect the MAX to the LAN, connect your Ethernet LAN cable to the Ethernet port,
labeled LAN/UTP port, on the MAX. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the Ethernet port on the
MAX 3000 T1 model. The location is the same on the E1 and BRI models.

Before you power on the MAX, familiarize yourself with the indicator lights. (See
“Interpreting the MAX indicator lights” on page 2-9.)
Connecting the MAX to a T1 line
To connect your MAX to a T1 line:
1
Connect T1/PRI line either directly to a T1 port on the MAX unit (see Figure 2-1) or
through other network interface equipment.
Note:
To connect to the demarcation point, where the T1/PRI line’s metallic interface
connects to other equipment, the MAX T1/PRI ports must be configured to utilize the
unit’s internal Channel Service Units (CSUs). Otherwise, you must install external CSUs
or other network (WAN) interface equipment between the MAX and the demarcation
point. See “T1/PRI line configuration” on page 6-10 for instructions on configuring the
CSU usage.
2
Inform your T1/PRI service provider that your equipment is connected, so that they can
bring up the line.
Before you power on the MAX, familiarize yourself with the indicator lights. (See
“Interpreting the MAX indicator lights” on page 2-9.)
Connecting the MAX to an E1 line
The MAX can connect to any Digital Private Network Signaling System (DPNSS) access point
on a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) or directly to E1 digital services. Use a cable that is
specifically constructed for transmission of E1/PRI signals. (CCITT G700 series
recommended.) The MAX can also connect to G.704 framed leased (nonswitching) services
for 75-ohm lines. (Use cable 2510-0272-001 with 75-ohm E1 lines.)
Unless connecting to your PBX, connect your MAX unit through the E1 port to the E1 PRI
network interface (TA) equipment supplied by your Post, Telephone, and Telegraph (PTT).
