Regulatory Standards Compliance

Warr anty Warnings

Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such equipment.

When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not forcefully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis. Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing the Multiservice Media Gateway system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and allows the Multiservice Media Gateway system to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the module that is inserted.

Shipping the chassis with removable modules installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis with removable modules installed could void your warranty. Only Lucentauthorized personnel should ship the Multiservice Media Gateway chassis with a module installed.

Canadian Regulatory Statements

CS-03 Issue 8 The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification

means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this eq uip ment, t h e user s hou ld e nsu re that it i s perm iss ib le to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed by using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions might give the telecommunications company caus e to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

For their own protection, users should ensure that the ground connections of the power utility , telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to the Voice 2-Wire Office module denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop, which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The

termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the to tal of the REN of all devices does not exceed 5.

The REN for the Voice 2-Wire Office module when used in the PSAX system is 0.7B.

SH-03 Version 8 Le label Industrie Canada permet de reconnaître les équipements

homologués. Cette homologation indique que l’équipement satisfait certaines règles de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le ministère de l’Industrie ne garantit pas que l’équipement fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.

Avant d’installer cet équipement, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le connecter aux installations de la compagnie de télécommunications locale. L’équipement doit également être connecté suivant une méthode convenable. Dans certains cas, il sera nécessaire de prolonger le câblage intérieur de la ligne d’abonné de la compagnie au moyen d’un connecteur homologué (rallonge de téléphone). L’abonné doit savoir que, dans certaines situations, la conformité aux dispositions ci-dessus ne prévient pas nécessairement la dégradation du service.

La réparation de certains équipements homologués doit être assurée par un atelier agréé désigné par le fournisseur. Toute réparation ou altération effectuée par l’utilisateur ou tout mauvais fonctionnement de cet équipement peut donner à la compagnie de téléphone des raisons de demander audit utilisateur de déconnecter celui-ci.

Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent veiller à ce que les mises à la terre de l’alimentation secteur, des lignes téléphoniques et du système intérieur de conduites d’eau métalliques soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution peut s’avérer particulièrement importante dans les zones rurales.

CAUTION:

Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas tenter d’effectuer eux-mêmes ces raccordements, mais doivent prendre contact avec un électricien ou organisme de vérification compétent.

Le nombre équivalent de sonnerie (REN) attr ibué au module cen tral bifilaire (Voice 2-Wire Office) correspond au pourcentage de la charge totale à connecter à un circuit téléphonique bifilaire; il est utilisé par l’appareil pour prévenir la surcharge. Le circuit peut être terminé par n’importe quelle combinaison d’appareils, à la seule condition que le total des REN de ces derniers ne dépasse pas cinq.

Lorsqu’il est utilisé dans le système PSAX, le module central bifilaire possède un REN de 0,7 B.

Chapter 1 Getting Started

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

The room where the Multiservice Media Gateway system is located must have built-in precautions to provide protection from electrostatic discharge damage to electronic components. The following sections provide details on these necessary precautions.

Grounding Wrist Straps

Attach at least one grounding wrist strap to a common ground for each chassis/electronic rack to be handled. Follow these guidelines for wrist straps:

• Make sure the wrist straps or wrist strap cords have built-in 1-megaohm (minimum) resistance.

• Make sure the wrist straps and wrist strap cords are UL listed.

• Ensure the wrist strap cord is long enough so it can be worn while

working either at the front or the back of the rack.

• Always discharge any static charge by touching your wrist strap before you touch the Multiservice Media Gateway chassis.

Floor Covering

Be sure the room has an antistatic floor covering (conductive mat, tiles, or carpeting) to minimize static charge buildup as you walk across the room. Follow these guidelines for installing and maintaining proper floor coverings:

• Using foot grounding straps (attached to the heels of your shoes) is recommended, even if you are walking in rooms with antistatic floor covering. These straps provide additional protection against electrostatic discharge. The straps should have built-in 1-megaohm (minimum) resistance.

• Wool carpet is not an acceptable floor covering.

• Other types of carpet must be sprayed daily with a topical antistatic

chemical before you perform any work in the room. Paying constant attention to carpet maintenance is time-consuming but required, if used.

Temperature and Humidity

Establishing the proper temperature and humidity in the room where the Multiservice Media Gateway system is located helps control many static discharge problems. Maintaining proper room climate is especially important when heat is turned on during the cold weather. To avoid damage to the Multiservice Media Gateway system, do not allow the humidity to increase to the level where water droplets appear on surfaces.

PacketStar® 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office Module User Guide, Issue1 Release7.0 1-6 255-700-186

Chapter 1 Getting Started

Clothing

When working with the Multiservice Media Gateway system, avoid wearing clothing made from wool or synthetic materials. Try to minimize contact between clothing and electronic components.

Handling Multiservice Media Gateway System Components

Follow these guidelines for proper handling of the Multiservice Media Gateway hardware to minimize electrostatic discharge damage:

• Do not remove the chassis, modules, and other items from their protective packaging until you are ready to install them.

• When installing modules and components, use a grounding wrist strap connected to a common electrical ground to prevent electrostatic discharge damage. (A common electrical ground is a complete circuit between a person or an electrical/electronic device and the earth.)

• Store components in electrostatic-discharge-protective bags when they are not in use.

Technical Support

If you experience a problem with your Multiservice Media Gateway system, refer to the Lucent Technologies InterNetworking Systems Global Warranty, which accompanied your shipment, for instructions on obtaining support in your area.

Overview of This Chapter

The Voice 4-Port 2-Wire Office module provides support for the office (central office or PABX switch) end of a two-wire analog telephone line. This allows a voice loop from a voice switch to be connected directly to a Multiservice Media Gateway system and communicate over an ATM network to a distant telephone or other analog device.

The 4-Port Voice 2-W ire Office module has three types of LED indicators: ACTIVE, FAIL, and LOS (loss of signal). Each port has a LOS LED on the faceplate. The LED turns on when the port goes off-hook. It also turns on and off in synchonization with an incoming ringing signal to the port.

7 Provisioning Connections Using the

Console Interface

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes how to use the Access Concentrator console to set up permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and soft permanent virtual circuit (SPVC) connections in PSAX devices for service provisioning, and how to view statistics data for billing and performance monitoring. This chapter contains instructions for making the following types of connections:

• PVC connections: ~ Circuit Emulation-to ATM virtual channel connection (VCC)

~ Circuit Emulation-to Circuit Emulation

• SPVC connections: ~ Circuit Emulation-to-ATM VCC

Before you provision connections for the modules, you must have first completed the following tasks:

• Set the configuration values for one or more ports on the Voice 2-Wire Office module

• Set the configuration values for the various types of interfaces on the Voice 2-Wire Office module

Data Flow in PVCs

PVCs consist of connections between ports on the various Access Concentrator I/O modules. When setting up some types of connections, you can set up data traffic to flow in several ways, depending on the type of connection as follows:

• Duplex

• Simplex

Before you can provision connections, you must select an interface type value other than Unconfigured in the Interface Type field on the Two Wire Office Port and Channel Configuration window. See the Reference Table appendix in this guide for a matrix of module and interface types.

Data flows in two directions between the two connection points (interface side A and interface side B).

Data flows in only one direction, from side A to side B, or from side B to side A.

Adding a Circuit Emulation-to-ATM VCC PVC Connection

This is a CBR type of connection. A DSP2x Voice Server module must be present and configured in the Multiservice Media Gateway to enable coding translation, voice compression, silence detection, echo cancellation, and t one detection features. This type of connection also supports the use of a backup ATM interface with the option of automatic switchback.

You can process voice traffic using circuit emulation-to-ATM VCC PVC connection through a DSP2x Voice Server module by selecting one of the pulse code modulation (PCM) types in the Coding Translation field.

Note: The Operations Administration and Maintenance (OAM) feature

is enabled on this screen. Statistical OAM information is provided on the related statistics screen, while additional OAM functionality can be enabled from the Diagnostics Menu.

8 Provisioning Connections Using the

AQueView® System

Overview of This Chapter

This chapter describes how to use the AQueView® element management system to set up permanent virtual circuit (PVC) and soft permanent virtual circuit (SPVC) connections in PSAX devices for service provisioning, and how to view statistics data for billing and performance monitoring. Before you provision connections for the modules, you must have first completed the following tasks:

• Set the configuration values for one or more ports on the Voice 2-Wire Office module

• Set the configuration values for the various types of interfaces on the Voice 2-Wire Office module

This chapter contains instructions for making the following types of connections:

• PVC connections: ~ Circuit Emulation-to ATM virtual channel connection (VCC)

~ Circuit Emulation-to Circuit Emulation

• SPVC connections: ~ Circuit Emulation-to-ATM VCC

Data Flow in PVCs PVCs consist of connections between ports on the various Access

Concentrator I/O modules. When setting up some types of connections, you can set up data traffic to flow in several ways, depending on the type of connection as follows:

• Duplex

Data flows in two directions between the two connection points (interface side A and interface side B).

• Simplex

Data flows in only one direction, from side A to side B, or from side B to side A.

Before you can provision connections, you must select an interface type value other than Unconfigured in the Interface Type field on the Two Wire Office Port and Channel Configuration window.

For a matrix of connection types by interface types, see the “Connection Types by Interface Types Table” in the Reference Table appendix of this user guide.

Chapter 8 Provisioning Connections Using the AQueView® System

Managing Connections

Within the Connections tab are four tabs that open the following pages:

• By default, the Listing page appears when you click the Connections tab

(see Figure 8-1). The Listing page displays all existing connections established on the device by default, that you can filter (see ”Filtering Connections in the List” on page 8-9). Connections can be created from this window by clicking the right mouse button to display the connections menu. The number in parentheses on the tab is the number of connections in the list.

• The Filter page enables you to sort and view connection types listed on the Listing page by connection type, slot, port, and channel (see ”Filtering Connections in the List” on page 8-9)

• The SPVC NSAP Address page enables you to enter new SPVC NSAP addresses and to view a list of existing SPVC NSAP addresses (see ”SPVC NSAP Addresses” on page 8-12)

• The AAL2 Trunk page allows you to add AAL2 trunk entries (see ”AAL2 Trunk Configuration” on page 8-13)
