Mini-Carrier Remote
Description, Installation, and Maintenance
•
employs a super set of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) used in the
Carrier Remote Interface product. The Mini-Carrier Remote system uses
the same type of extensive carrier diagnostics that have proven useful on
the Carrier Remote IPE product,
•
offers controlled access through a password,
•
allows multiple LMIs in the same system to share a single 2400 or 9600
baud MMI terminal (LMXs are accessed through the appropriate LMI),
•
supports remote RS-232 serial data interface for the MMI,
•
is compatible with standard T1 test equipment for link diagnostic
purposes,
•
provides automatic and manual fault detection, isolation and correction
for MCR components similar to that of the Carrier Remote Interface
product,
•
supports existing X11 software diagnostic routines,
•
provides alarm notification for link performance degradation, and
•
supports up to 32 voice ports and 32 data ports through a single LMI and
up to 22 simultaneous telephone calls for each T1 carrier link used.
Blocking
The level of blocking is determined by the number of telephones configured
at the remote site. Mini-Carrier Remote supports up to 44 simultaneous calls
per LMI. If a non-blocking system is desired, the telephones may be
configured appropriately. Up to 128 telephones can be configured yielding a
44:128 ratio. If installing telephones for use by ACD (automatic call
distribution) agents, allot one time slot for each telephone configured for
ACD functionality. This ensures non-blocked access for the ACD agent.
T1 framing modes ESF and D4 are supported. T1 B8ZS encoding must be
used due to the digital nature of the T1 usage.
LED indicators
A red faceplate LED indicates the status of the LMI. Two red Carrier LEDs
indicate the status of the carriers, and a Maintenance LED indicates the
condition of all non-carriers that affect service.
