Safety Warnings and Information

Warr anty Warnings

!
CAUTION:
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.
!
CAUTION:
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 PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and allows the PSAX system to reinitialize and display the accurate configu­ration of the module that is inserted.
!
CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU 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 will void your warranty. Only Lucent­authorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module installed.
Safety Warnings and Information
When installing and operating the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module, fol­low the safety guidelines provided in the printed PacketStar Guidelines, which accompanies this product, to help prevent serious personal injury and damage to the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module. Please read all warnings and instructions supplied before beginning installation or configu­ration of this module. In additio n to the general sa fety inf ormation pro vided, you should also refer to the text in the PacketStar PSAX user and installation guides for other important safety information and procedures.

2 Module Description

Overview of the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station Module

The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module provides support for the station (telephone set) end of a two-wire analog telephone line. A telephone or other analog voice device can be connected directly to this module in the Multiservice Media Gateway system over an ATM network. The coding translation supported by this module is Mu Law to Mu Law only.
The module has three types of light emitting diode (LED) indicators: ACTIVE, FAIL, and LOS (loss of signal). On the faceplate, each port has a LOS LED that illuminates when the port goes off-hook. It also flashes in synchroniza­tion with an incoming ringing signal to the port.

Software Features

Software Features
The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module can be used to establish a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on a voice circuit that originates on the same module. This module also provides private-line automatic ring-down (PLAR) service for the PVC. PLAR provides a point-to-point private line between two tele­phone sets. If either station goes off-hook, the other one automatically rings. The ringing will stop when the called station goes off-hook or the calling sta­tion goes back on-hook. The PLAR service provides 20-Hz ring-down, loop­start supervision, and no signalling. The module also supports FXS service via a PVC connection with a 4-Port Voice 2-W ire Office module. This connection enables a foreign exchange (FXO) voice service to be transmitted across an ATM network. With FXO service, the voice switch provides dial tone, ringing, and digit translation, which are not provided by the ATM network.

Module Placement Requirements

You may install the 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station in any I/O slot of any PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway chassis intended to contain I/O or server mod­ules. In typical applications, this module is used with the 4-Port 2-Wire Office module (see the appropriate module guide for other configuration con­straints).

Hardware Features

The 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module supports these hardware features:
Number of ports: 8
Connector type: RJ-11
Ringing frequency: 20 Hz
Termination impedance: 600 Ohms
Signal in g: n on e
Supervision: loop start

CAUTION:
Due to the copper wire interface between an Enhanced DS1 or E1 mod­ule with a PBX and/or key telephone system, the PSAX system and the other equipment should use a common chassis ground connection to avoid ground current loops, which could affect voice quality.
