The
Unit
screen is displayed with the
General
tab selected. This tab is used to select
the type of connection that will be used to communicate to the Edge. A
Serial
connection must be used initially since no IP address is assigned for a Network
connection at this point.
Serial Connection
The serial connection is mandatory for initial setup of the Edge. It must be used to
establish control of the unit and to set it up for network control. Select the
CommPort
that will be used to control the unit.
When using a T1/E1 module in T1-PRI or E1-PRI mode, a network connection
must be used for programming and control; a serial connection is not allowed.
This allows for enhanced messaging during PRI operation.
Query Card Types
At this point, the unit in the Edge configuration software can be configured to match
the modules installed in the physical unit. This can be done automatically by clicking
the Query Card Types button at the bottom of the Unit screen. A message is displayed
stating “This will set the current units card types to match those actually in the
system”. Click OK to continue. The Unit screen’s slot information now reflects the
physical modules in the unit.
Teltone recommends using the Query Card Types button for configuring the Edge.
But, if the unit is not connected to the PC, manual configuration can be done by
selecting the Unit screen Slot tab that corresponds with the position of a module.
Then configure the Card Type by selecting the appropriate card type. Later, when you
connect to the Edge, download the configuration by selecting Initialize on the Units
menu.
When you click the Query Card Types button, if the physical modules in the unit are
installed incorrectly, a message refers you to the Module Matrix Wizard for the
proper setup.
The Module Matrix Wizard button on the Unit screen (see Figure 14) can be used to
select valid module installation configurations. After clicking the Module Matrix
Wizard button, the Valid Module Combination dialog box is displayed, as shown in
Figure 15.
