Remote Connection
The TIM1500 is capable of supporting both single-line connections and
multiple-line loop bonded connections, as well as any combination of the two. If the
distance between the TIM1500 and any of the remote T1 equipment is greater
than 6,000 feet, a line may require a T1 repeater.
Loop Bonded Connection
Using multiple T1 lines for one network connection (loop bonding) will net speed
and data passing capability equal to the cumulative total of the individual
single-line connections. Multiple T1 lines used for one connection can also be
considered backup for each other should one or more of the lines become
disabled. Any of the ports on the TIM1500-12 or TIM1500-24 can be bonded
together; it is not necessary for them to be consecutive.
CAUTION: All T1 ports intended for a loop bonded connection must be identically
configured prior to connection. See the NMS User’s Guide or CLI User’s Guide for
configuration instructions. If default settings are to be used for bonded ports, then
prior configuration is not necessary and you may proceed with installation.
The T1 equipment to which a TIM1500 is connected must also be T1 loop bonding
capable in order for the TIM1500 to establish a loop bonded connection. Refer to
the
Product to Product T1 Loop Bonding Compatibility
document
(COMP-A2-GK43) on Paradyne’s website.
Single Line T1 Connection
A single line connection can be established between the TIM1500 and any of
Paradyne’s T1 network extenders.
Verifying the Connection
For each port being connected to a remote T1 modem, verify that the T1 link has
been established.
The T1 LK LED of connected ports will illuminate green to indicate a connection
has been made. Linking-up should occur within 20 seconds, but is subject to the
quality, gauge, and length of the copper cables.
