cabinet. Alternatively, you can mount carriers into other
commercial EIA standard 19-inch and 23-inch wide
cabinets.
When shipped:
• Cabinets are packed in cardboard shipping
containers secured to wooden pallets.
• The shipping containers are bound with plastic
straps.
• Inside the shipping container, the cabinet itself is
strapped to the wooden pallet with plastic straps.
There is minimal clearance between the cabinet and the
shipping container, and the cabinet frame is not wrapped
in packing material.
Presetup Inspection
Before opening the shipping container, inspect it for
signs of damage. Specific signs to check for are:
• Major tears or puncture holes on the sides of the
container
• Splits in the seams
• Corner damage or any additional signs of the
container having been dropped
Unpacking the Cabinet
" Procedure
1. Use a utility knife to cut all plastic straps
surrounding the shipping container.
2. Cut around the base of the container to unpack the
cabinet. Do not cut along the container’s seams.
Doing so may damage the cabinet because of the
lack of clearance. Lift the container off the
cabinet.
NOTE
If your ceilings do not provide
enough clearance to lift the
container, tip the container and
cabinet sideways. You will need
another person to help you tip
the container and cabinet, and

Grounding of the carrier is
vital to ensure safe operation.
Do not defeat the purpose of
the grounding plug by
modifying it or by using an
adapter.
Prior to installation, use an
outlet tester or voltmeter to
check the ac receptacle for
earth ground. If the power
source does not provide a
ground connection, consult an
electrician to determine
another method of grounding
the carrier before proceeding
with the installation.

SDU Installation
An SDU is a circuit card designed for installation in the
slot at the extreme left end of the carrier (Slot 0). The
SDU is required for either or both of the following
conditions:
• The devices in the carrier are to be controlled by an
NMS.
• Multiple carriers in a cabinet configuration are to
be controlled from a single SDCP.
The SDU is not required for a single carrier:
• Without an NMS interface or
• With an SDCP installed.

Dial Modem Control Interface
Connectors J1 and J2 are defined in Table A-12 in
Appendix A and provide an interface that can be used for:
• D-lead control signaling. Directly supported.
Associates a signal lead with each modem.
Momentary connection of this lead to a common
ground activates the signal.
• MI/MIC signaling. Supported by connecting all
MIC leads together and wiring them to Pin 25
(Signal Ground) on the corresponding J1 or J2
connector. Each MI lead can then be treated as a
D-lead connection. Provides two leads:
— Mode Indicate (MI)
— Mode Indicate Common (MIC) – usually via
Pins 3 and 6 of an 8-position modular VF
connector
Activation of the signal is by momentary connection of
these two leads. These two control signal methods are
identical in function. Activation causes the associated dial
modem to go off-hook in the Originate mode.

NMS Connection
A COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier can be connected
to a variety of Network Management Systems:
• 6800 Series NMS
• 6700 Series NMS
• DATAPHONE II Diagnostic Controller (DC)
The control channel CC IN interface, a 6-pin modular
jack on the SDU, connects the NMS to the carrier. Each
type of NMS requires a specific adapter to convert the
control channel interface to the 6-pin modular jack
required for the SDU.
This connection is via the control channel interface on
the SDU, but all 16 slots in the carrier can only be
controlled by one NMS. One control channel can manage
up to eight carriers by daisy chaining from the CC IN to
the CC OUT interfaces on the SDU in each carrier. Some
protocols result in DC OUT and DC IN. Refer to the
SDU CC/DC Operationsection, page 3-18.
NOTE
You cannot use an NMS
connected through the SDU
with either T1 CSUs or
T1 DSU/CSUs.
Connecting the NMS
4. For a cabinet configuration with multiple carriers,
connect all of the SDUs in a daisy chain, starting
with the SDU connected to the NMS.
— Use a 6-pin modular telephone cord to connect
the CC OUT jack at the rear of this SDU to
the CC IN jack of the SDU in the next carrier
above or below it.
— Use another cord to connect the second SDU’s
CC OUT jack to the next SDU’s CC IN.
Continue the connections until the last carrier in

If modular DSUs or dial/lease
modems with ‘‘gold finger”
contacts are installed in the
carrier, mount the T1 auxiliary
backplane over Slots 9–16, or
Slot 9 will become unusable.
When installing two T1 auxiliary backplanes on a
carrier, use a diagnostic channel extension cable to
connect them together . For more information about this
cable, refer to Appendix B, T1 CSU and T1 DSU/CSU
Interface Connectors.
NOTE
Once installed, the T1 auxiliary
backplane extends down into
the Network Interface Module
(NIM) area of the carrier. The
extension of the backplane
displaces a NIM card and
prohibits the use of dial modems
in any slot covered by the T1
auxiliary backplane assembly.

The T1 auxiliary backplane provides a DB15 socket
connector for each CSU. The DTE cable is normally
supplied by the DTE vendor. For more information, see
the ACCULINK 3150 and 3151 CSU Operator’s Guide.
T1 DSU/CSU DTE Ports
The T1 auxiliary backplane provides connections for a
DSX-1 drop/insert port and two synchronous data ports
for each DSU/CSU.
The drop/insert interface is a DB15 socket connector.
The synchronous ports may be used for the following
interfaces:
• EIA-530-A
• V.35
• RS-449
• X.21
The interface is determined by the cable and adapter
used, and the Port T ype configuration option selected. See

T1 COM Port Connection to an
External PC
Communication between the T1 CSUs and
T1 DSU/CSUs in a 3000 Series Carrier and an external
PC occurs through a shared communication (COM) port.
The PC can be attached locally or through an external
modem.
• T1 CSUs and T1 DSU/CSUs do not have their own
COM port for external access. One of the
T1 devices in the carrier must be selected as the
master communication port.
• The selected T1 device provides the COM port for
all the T1 CSUs and T1 DSU/CSUs in the carrier.
• The T1 device is configured, via COM port
configuration options, so that Port 2 on the
T1 auxiliary backplane is the COM port for the
carrier.
• Using the front panel emulation (FPE) diskette, the
attached PC can then access any device in that
carrier through the shared COM port on the master
communication unit.

Network Interface Module
Dial Network Interface
T wo optional NIMs on the back of the carrier both
provide the direct distance dialing (DDD) network
interface.
Depending upon your configuration, use one of the
following for a dial/dial backup interface:
• An RJ21X (permissive) 50-pin connector, or
• An RJ27X (programmable) 50-pin connector
The two NIMs can be different types and operate
independently of one another. Appendix A provides pin
assignments. Additional features available for both
programmable and permissive NIMs are:
• Service Line. Permits an extra dial line to be
connected to the carrier. NIMs with this feature
have two Service Line modular connectors, which
can be used in sharing a single dial line between:
— T wo halves of the carrier (Slots 1–8 and
Slots 9–16) and
— Multiple carriers.
• Make Busy.
Check that the dial/lease modem’s leased-line
connection occurred on the proper pins. If not, a
cross-connection may be required at the network
interface.
(NIM) Connectors
NIMs are installed over the connectors labeled P23 and
P24 (right side) or P25 and P26 (left side). The NIMs
provide the interfaces for dial backup modules and
dial/lease modems to the following:
• Dial network (PSTN)
• ISDN network
• 2-wire or 4-wire switched 56 kbps digital service
NIMs have the following characteristics:
• T wo different NIMs can be mounted onto the
carrier and be independent of one another.
• Each NIM serves eight contiguous slots in the

DTE Connector Modules
DSUs with MUX cards and Model 3821Plus two-slot
triple modem use 6-port connector modules.
A DSU with a MUX card attached uses a rear
connector module for six-port TDM or MCMP with the
alternate port option (Figure 6-6). The connector module
has:
• Six ports; each port is a 25-pin connector which
provides the EIA-232 DTE interface.
The 25-pin connectors can be used with a V.35
adapter plug or V.35 adapter cable (feature
3000-F1-510). Either adapter converts the 25-pin
V.35 interface to the standard 34-pin V.35 interface.
• A 26-pin high-density D-type connector at the top,
which provides the V.35 interface for either Port 1
or an aggregate data path. Use a 6-port V.35
interconnect cable (supplied by the customer) to
convert the 26-pin high-density D-type interface to
the standard 34-pin V.35 interface.
26-Pin
High-Density
D-Type
Connector
The two-slot triple modem uses a 6-port DTE interface
connector module as shown in Figure 6-7. The connector
module uses one of the following cables:
• An RS-232 cable with DB25 connectors for each of
six ports labeled A, B, and C, or
• An 8-pin modular cable with two DB25 to
8-position modular adapters.

Connecting to the DTE
T o connect the DTE to the modem, you can use two
DB25 to 8-position modular adapters and an 8-pin
RJ45-type modular cable instead of an RS-232 cable with
DB25 connectors. Because of the large number of cables
required for typical 24-port installations, the slimmer
modular cable is recommended.
The connectors on the DTE interface assembly are
labeled, from top to bottom: A, B, and C. These markings
show which modem on a card is associated with each
connector.
• Connect the DB25 adapter or the connector on an
RS-232 DTE cable to one of the DB25 connectors
on the DTE interface assembly. Use a small
screwdriver to fasten the connector to the backplate.
Figure B-3. DTE (DSX-1) Cable
B-4July 19993000-A2-GA31-D0
• Connect the DB25 adapter or connector on the
cable to the DB25 connector on the DTE. Use a
small screwdriver to fasten the cable to the DTE.

COM Port Interface
The COM port connects to either a personal computer
(PC) or an async terminal and printer:
The PC connection uses the:
• COM port-to-PC cable. This cable is a 14-foot,
26 AWG, 8-conductor cable with an 8-position
modular plug keyed connector and a DB9 socket
connector (see Figure B-4).
• COM port connector with a plastic body adapter for
converting a DB25 interface to an 8-pin modular
jack (see Figures B-5 and B-6). This connector is
used in conjunction with the COM port adapter
cable.
