Configuring Ports and Channels
Using the Console Interface
Overview of This Chapter
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to perform the fol-
lowing tasks on the 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module:
•
Obtaining general module data and accessing ports and channels
•
Setting the values for the port and channel configuration of the 4-Port
Voice 2-Wire Office module
Before You Begin
Be sure to complete the following tasks first before configuring the 4-Port
Voice 2-Wire Office module:
•
Configure your basic system (see “Configuring the System for Your Site” in
the appropriate PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway user guide).
•
Configure the Stratum 3–4 module (see “Configuring the Stratum 3–4
Module” in the appropriate PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway
user guide).
When configuring the 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office module using the console
interface, display-only fields are displayed in square brackets ([ ]).
!
CAUTION:
Due to the copper wire interface between an Enhanced DS1 or E1 mod-
ule and a PBX and/or key telephone system, the PSAX system and the
other equipment should use a common chassis ground connection to
avoid ground current loops, which could affect voice quality.
Using the Equipment Configuration Window
This section describes how to obtain product, model, version, and serial num-
ber data about a module from the Equipment Configuration window. In
addition, the window provides operational status and alarm conditions on
each installed module. You also use this window to access the port and chan-
nel configuration windows for the PSAX modules.
Accessing the Equipment Configuration Window
Perform the following procedure to access the Equipment Configuration win-
dow.
