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:
•
Setting the values for the port and channel configuration of the 8-Port
Voice 2-Wire Station module
•
Viewing the port statistics
•
Saving the module configuration and logging off
Note:
Be sure to use only RJ12-RJ12 shielded cable, part number XXXX,
when making connections from the module ports to the termina-
tion end. See Appendix A for the pin configurations.
Before You Begin
Be sure to complete the following tasks first before configuring the 8-Port
Voice 2-Wire Station 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 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station 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 with 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.
Obtaining General Module Data and Accessing Ports and
Channels
This section describes how to obtain product, model, version, and serial num-
ber data about a module from the Equipment Configuration window. You
also use this window to access the port and channel configuration windows
for the PSAX modules.
