System Configuration and Operation
5.1 Basic Operations
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the Integrated Access System for operation
after installing it at the equipment site.
Before performing the procedures in this chapter:
1. Be sure your Integrated Access System is installed and powered up.
2. Determine your system’s specific configuration requirements. These depend on your
network and customer premises equipment (CPE) interfaces. If this configuration
information already exists, obtain it from your system administrator or engineers.
3. Obtain a terminal with VT-100 or VT-102 emulation and an RS-232 to RJ48 cable for
these procedures. The terminal will be connected directly to the TERM port on the
Interface card in your system. It allows you to access the system and then configure it for
operation with your network and CPE.
WARNING!During system operation it may be necessary to remove and replace certain
circuit packs, either as a maintenance procedure or to restore service should a circuit pack
fail. All circuit packs are "hot swappable". This means that they can be removed and
inserted while the system is powered and providing service, and no physical damage will
be caused to the circuit pack or the system. However, all circuit packs do share the same
backplane and data busses. As with any bus based architecture, there is a possibility that
removal and installation of a card could cause a momentary service degradation to other
cards on the same bus. This degradation would typically be seen as a few data errors on
other active data circuits on the same bus. The higher the speed of the data circuit, the
more susceptible it would be to this type of interruption. Voice cards are typically not
affected by such brief error bursts. Therefore, in order to minimize the possibility of data
errors during a circuit card hot swap, Zhone recommends that maintenance procedures on
the IMACS be done during periods of low system activity or during the maintenance
window whenever possible.
5.2 Basic Screen Map and Legend
To make system access, configuration and testing easy, the system presents you with a series
of user interface screens. Each screen displays various fields of information, and you can
change the data in those fields as required by your system and external interfaces.
