Model 2616RC T1/E1 T-DAC overview
The Model 2616RC (see figure 1) provides 16 T1/E1 ports. A built-in digital cross-connect switch provides
completely flexible grooming: the capability to connect any DS0-channel to any other DS0-channel from the
WAN uplink ports or the T1/E1 ports. The T-DAC combines a time-slot multiplexer and a centralized webbased management system on a front and rear blade for insertion in a Patton ForeFront chassis with a chassis
mid-plane architecture. The front blade contains LED status indicators, an RS-232 configuration port and a
10/100 Ethernet management port. The rear blade contains the T1/E1 WAN port connections. The 16 T1/E1
ports connect to channelized T1 or E1 network connections.
Each WAN port terminates T1/E1 with flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping. The entire system can be managed
in-band (via T1/E1 Frame Relay/PPP links) or out-of-band from a web browser by means of SNMP/HTTPbased management screens.

Introduction
This chapter contains the following procedures for installing the Model 2616RC T-DAC:
Note Before installing the T-DAC, you will need to obtain the line type and
encoding of the T1/E1 line from your local telephone company (Telco).
• “Unpacking the Model 2616RC T-DAC”—lists the contents in the T-DAC shipping container
• “T-DAC blades installation”—describes installing the T-DAC on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack
• “Cable installation” on page 26—describes installing the power and network interface cables
• “Completing the hardware installation” on page 34—describes testing the T-DAC hardware to verify that it
is ready for software configuration
Unpacking the Model 2616RC T-DAC
Inspect the shipping carton for external damage. Note any damage before removing the container contents.
Report equipment damage to the shipping carrier immediately for claim purposes. Save all packing materials in
case you need to return an item to the factory for servicing.
The T-DAC comes with the following items:
• The Model 2616RC Digital Cross-Connect (T-DAC)
• One RJ45-to-RJ45 cable for use with the console and Ethernet ports
• A DB9-RJ45 (EIA-561) adapter for connecting a PC's serial port to the T-DAC console port
• Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide
• CD-ROM containing product literature, the Model 2616RC T1/E1 T-DAC Getting Started Guide, and the
Model 2616RC, 3096RC, and 3196RC Administrator's Reference Guide
T-DAC blades installation
Do the following:
Note Verify that the rack chassis is properly grounded before installing the
T-DAC blades. An adequate ground can be achieved by connecting a
#10 AWG ground wire between the rack chassis grounding stud and
one of the following ground sources:
• The building ground rod (generally located at the site’s main ser-
vice entrance)
• A sprinkler system pipe
• A cold-water pipe
• Building structural steel
1. If you have not done so already, remove the T-DAC from its shipping container.
Note Be sure to wear the anti-static strap to prevent electrostatic damage to
the blade.
24 Introduction
Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 2 • Hardware installation
Note The T-DAC should be installed as close as possible to the termination
jack provided by the Telco. The location should be well ventilated.
Do not block the rack chassis’ cooling vents.
2. Insert the rear blade into the desired slot in the rack chassis. Make sure the blade is seated properly in the
slot guides.
Figure 4. Alignment/ESD pin and card handle
3. Gently press the blade into the chassis until the alignment/ESD pin (see figure 4) engages the chassis.
When the blade is fully seated, the red buttons in the handles click up automatically, thus locking the handle and activating the switch (closed position). The click of the button gives a visual and audible confirmation that the board is fully seated.
4. Insert the front blade into the rack chassis slot that corresponds to the slot in which you installed the rear
blade. Verify that the buttons in both handles click up to indicate that the board is fully seated and locked
into place.

2 • Hardware installation Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide
Connecting the T1/E1 WAN ports
An active T1/E1 is not necessary to configure the T-DAC. However, active T1/E1 connections are required when
mapping WAN time slots to other WAN time slots. The factory-set default configuration of the Model 2616RC
has the T1/E1 ports disabled.
The following types of cables can used to connect the 2616RC to T1/E1 lines:
• 68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable, 6 foot (1.8 m) (part #10-3096TM68/8RJ45-6) (see section “68-
pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable” for installation details)
• 68-pin SCSI to 16 RJ-45 connectors cable, 6 foot (1.8 m) (part #10-3096TM68/16RJ45-6) (see section
“68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable” for installation details)
• 68-pin SCSI to open end, 12 foot (3.6 m) (part #10-3096TM68-12) (see section “68-pin SCSI to
open end cable” for installation details)
68-pin SCSI to 8 RJ-45 connectors cable
The SCSI-to-RJ-45 cable (see figure 9) connects to the 2616RC via a male SCSI connector (see figure 10). At
the other end of the cable, T1/E1 lines terminate on 8 or 16 individual RJ-45 connectors (wired as RJ-48C)
(see figure 9). Each RJ-45 terminated T1/E1 line connects directly to a local patch panel or to another
T1/E1 device.

3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide
Introduction
This chapter contains the following procedures that describe configuring the Model 2616RC T-DAC for
operation:
• “Configuration prerequisites”—lists the items you need to have on hand before configuring the T-DAC.
• “Initial configuration through the RS-232 control port” on page 37—describes how to define the 2616RC’s
LAN IP address and netmask parameters.
• “Using a browser to complete Model 2616RC configuration” on page 41—describes how to define the
remaining basic configuration parameters in order to bring your T-DAC on-line. The steps are:
- Defining E1 WAN link parameters (see “Configuring line settings and signaling for E1” on page 50) or

Figure 25. HOME page window panes
Figure 26. Operator Actions buttons
From the Home page, the following actions can be performed:
• Record Current Configuration—clicking on this button (see figure 26) saves the current configuration
from volatile DRAM memory to FLASH memory. Once the configuration is saved into FLASH memory,
the configuration will not be lost even if the power is cycled on the 2616RC. Initially, changes made to the
2616RC configuration are stored in volatile DRAM, enabling the user to set the box up with a working
configuration before committing it to storage in FLASH. When you select Record Current Configuration,
the 2616RC stores your changes to FLASH memory.
Note If you want to save the configuration changes that you have made,
you must click on
Record Current Configuration, otherwise all con-
figuration changes will be lost if the power to the Model 2616RC is
turned off.

3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide
• Hard Reset—this button (see figure 26) causes the Model 2616RC to perform a cold restart. When you
select Hard Reset, the T-DAC confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the T-DAC will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
• Set Factory Default Configuration—this button (see figure 26) clears out the configuration in FLASH and
loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on
the Model 2616RC until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration (figure 26) will delete any routing
information, the Model 2616RC’s Ethernet IP address, and any other
site-specific settings made for your particular installation. You will
have to re-enter the Model 2616RC’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the rear panel control port before using the
HTTP/HTML Management pages.
Configuring the default gateway
The default gateway IP address, if defined, is used solely for managing the 2616RC remotely via the Ethernet
port. The 2616RC does not transmit or receive user data nor any other traffic via the default gateway IP
address or the Ethernet port.
Do the following to add the default gateway:
1. On the 2616RC Configuration Menu, click the IP hyperlink to open the IP Configuration page.
2. Click the Routing Info hyperlink to open the IP Routing Information page (figure 27).

Configuring the system clocking parameters
In this section you will define clocking sources for the main reference and fallback reference on the 2616RC T-
DAC. Clocking source selection will depend on the clocking role you assign to the blade: master(1), second-
ary(2), or slave(3). The master will drive the main reference clock for the chassis. Should the master fail, the
secondary will drive the main reference. Slaves will not drive any clock reference. Most often the 2616RC will
be configured as slave(3), with another blade (such as the Patton Model 6511) configured as the master(1).
You can choose any one of the WAN ports, an internal oscillator, or system clock (provided by the ForeFront
chassis). Unless it fails or becomes disconnected, the main reference provides the system clock for the 2616RC.
Should this failure occur, the fallback reference will be the clocking source for the 2616RC’s system clock.
Example 1
Your 2616RC is the only blade in the chassis and must be configured as the system clocking master. This example
assumes you will use T1/E1 port #1 as the main reference
and T1/E1 port #2 as the fallback reference. To
define the clocking source, do the following:
1. Connect a T1/E1 WAN line to WAN port #1 through the 2616RC’s WAN port cable.
2. Connect a T1/E1 WAN line to WAN port #2 through the 2616RC’s WAN port cable.

Example 2
Another card such as the Patton Model 6511 is the clocking master and your 2616RC is a secondary or slave.
This example assumes you will use the system clock as the main reference and WAN port #1 as the fallback reference. To define the clocking source, do the following:
Note If there are two or more Model 2616RC cards installed in the chassis,
one must be a master and one a secondary. Otherwise, if a secondary
unit has not been configured, an unclearable alarm will be generated.
1. Connect a T1/E1 WAN line to WAN port #1 through the 2616RC’s WAN port cable.

Configuring the DS0 mapping
You need to make internal connections between a T1/E1 link and its destination. The destination of the T1/E1
link may be another T1/E1 port within the T-DAC, or the TDM bus in the chassis connecting to another TDAC, DSL, or STM-1 card.
When configuring the 2616RC for T1/E1 cross connection the following scenarios may be encountered:
• Mapping DS0s from one E1/T1 port to another T1/E1 port on the same card. This is the simplest cross
connection possible; DS0s are mapped from one T1/E1 port to another.
• Mapping DS0s from one E1/T1 port to another T1/E1 port on another card (or a DSL port on a Patton
Model 3096RC) within the chassis. In this scenario, DS0s are first mapped from the originating 2616RC
card T1/E1 port to a H.110 port (chassis TDM system bus). The destination card, similarly, must have a
DS0 map from the H.110 bus to the appropriate T1/E1 port.
• Mapping DS0s from a T1/E1 port to an STM-1 card in the same chassis. In this scenario, the 2616RC first
maps DS0s from a T1/E1 port to an H.110 port (TDM system bus). The system TDM bus, connected to
all cards in the system, connects with a Patton 6511RC STM-1 card; DS0s are then placed into
STM1 containers.
To define DS0 mapping for two T1/E1 ports, do the following:
1. On the Configuration Menu click DS0 Mapping hyperlink. The DS0 Mapping Overview window (see
figure 33) displays.
Figure 33. DS0 Mapping Overview window
2. In the Display Option drop-down menu (see figure 34), select displayLongForm(0).
Figure 34. Display Option menu
48 Using a browser to complete Model 2616RC configuration
Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation
To define each DS0 Mapping you will create a static connection. “A” and “B” designate the two ends of
the static connection. For each static connection you will define the following parameters:
– Device Type. Specifies the physical interface type for the connection. You may select either
none(0). Additionally, for Device Type B, there is an option for toH.110(5) and fromH.110(6), indicat-
t1-e1 (1) or
ing direction of the T1/E1 DS0s mapped to the H.110 (TDM bus system).
– Device Number. Defines which T1/E1 port number on the 2616RC you are mapping. For example, to
map a connection for T1/E1 port 3 you would select port3(3).
– Device Slots. Defines which DS0 channels will be mapped. Each DS0 channel is 64 kbps. Each T1port
port has 24 DS0 channels. Each E1 WAN port has 32 DS0 channels. When defining time slots you
must select the same number of Device Slots on the “A” and “B” sides of the connection. The slots are
defined by entering a text string that represents the slots. For the T1/E1 ports, the slots that are available
are 1–32. For a WAN port configured as a T1, the available slots are numbered from 1–24. For a WAN
port configured as an E1, the available slots are 1–32. The H.110 (TDM system bus) is comprised of 32
ports; each port contains 128 unidirectional slots.
Examples for configuring static connections:
• Example 1: Connecting DS0s from an E1 port to another E1 port within one card.
• Example 2: Connecting DS0s from an E1 port on one card to an E1 port on another card via H.110 bus.

3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide
Note If the T-DAC does not behave as described, the most likely cause is
that the T-DAC default settings are not compatible with the T1/E1
line. If this is the case, use the RS-232 CONFIG port to correct the
T-DAC settings. You will have to use the 2616RC Configuration
Menu pages to examine the configured T1/E1 link settings.
6. There are two LEDs that indicate the status of the T-DAC 10/100 Ethernet port: a green LED indicates
link status and activity, and a yellow LED that indicates line speed. Verify that the green LED is either
flashing green (meaning that packets are being received at the Ethernet port) or solid green (meaning that
the link is valid but no packets are being received).
Congratulations! Your T-DAC is now installed. If you require further information about configuring your TDAC settings, refer to the DSL T-DAC Administrator’s Reference Guide included on your Model 2616RC
