This chapter contains information and instructions required to prepare the Verilink
3010 - 300 for use. Included are initial inspection procedures, installation
instructions, configuration guidelines, and connection information.
The Dual DSX requires the PRISM 3030 and 3060 to have software revision 2.5 or
greater. Contact Verilink Inside Sales for software upgrade, if needed.
This manual contains information and warnings which must be followed by the
user to ensure safe operation and to retain the equipment in a safe condition.
WARNING: This sign denotes a potential hazard to the operator. It calls attention to a
procedure or practice which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in
injury or loss of life. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions
are fully understood and met.
CAUTION: Option modu les are susc eptible to da mage cause d by static ele ctricit y.
Use ESD (electrostatic device) precautionary measures, such as wearing static
grounding straps and storing modules in the supplied antistatic bags.
This unit is carefully packaged to prevent damage in shipment. Upon receipt,
inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning
material is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and make a notation on the
delivery receipt that the container was damaged (if possible, obtain the signature
and name of the person making delivery). Retain the packaging material until the
contents of the shipment have been checked for completeness and the instrument
has been checked both mechanically and electrically.
Supplied
Materials
If the contents of the shipment are incomplete or, if there is mechanical damage or
defect, notify Verilink. If the shipping container is also damaged, or the cushioning
material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier of the damage as well as Verilink.
Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s inspection. Verilink will arrange for repair
or replacement without waiting for claim settlement.
For specific applications, the user may require additional cables and adapters for
the installation and operation of the unit. The interface requirements of any

Verilink ordering numbers are listed in Ordering Numbers on page iv. Contact
Verilink for any needed assistance in cable selection.
2 CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION
Option Card
Installation
Unit Configuration
The 3010-300 card fits into slots 2 or 3 of a 3030 or slots 2 through 6 of a 3060.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock or damage to the unit, turn the rear panel power
switch OFF before removing or installing any option modules.
To add a module to an empty slot, power the unit off and remove the cover plate.
Carefully slide the new card along the guides with the component side facing
down. Push the b oard i n until the facepl ate rest s again st the rea r panel . Ensure that
it seats without displacing the flexcable connector. Then, insert the screws.
If resistance is encountered when inserting the card, remove the card and verify
that there are no obstructions in the path. Also check for bent or damaged pins in
the connectors on either the module or the chassis.
Configuration is performed using any of the following methods:
•
The front pa nel LCD inter face (refer to ch apter Operat ion on page 3) .
•
A terminal connected to the SUPV or the NMS port (refer to chapter Terminal
Operation on page 7).
The 3030 and 3060 provide non-volatile memory retention of unit configuration in
the event of power failure. This feature allows the unit to automatically restore
normal service following a power loss; however, when the unit is stored without
power for an extended period, the battery may drain and some parameters may
become corrupted.
Dual DSX Connection
Network Disconnection
Therefore , when the uni t is first received for instal lation or if power has not been
applied for an extended period, a factory default maintenance reset operation
should be performed on the unit. Refer to the procedures detailed in section
Maintenance Reset of chapter Operation of the 3030 or 3060 manual.
The Dual D SX card provides a DSX-level inte rface whic h allows exte nding the
digital service to a variety of equipment types.
The Dual DSX interface connection is not designed to interface directly
with a telc o facility.
A typical PRISM 3030/3060 installation can
include high-speed digital data, analog voice,
and with the addition of the Dual DSX card,
digital voice or data to a PABX or other DSX
interface (A single DSX interface is available
with the T1-DTE option.).

Assignment
Selects the type of framing for the DSX port. The 3030 and 3060 permits framing
conversion from the DTE to the Network and from the Network to the DTE (D4 to
ESF and ESF to D4). Newer ESF spans can support older D4 equipment. Using
ESF framing allows the user and the telco access to the increased serviceability
and information available through the FDL protocols. The choices are D4
and ESF.
Selects the type of line coding for the DTE side of the unit. The choices are AMI
and B8ZS.
Specifies the DTE DSX1 interface output pre-emphasis. The choices are 0 –110 ft
111– 220 ft, 221–330 ft, 331–440 ft, 441 – 550 ft, 551– 660 ft, and > 660 ft.
These can be set IDLE or THRU (Only channels currently mapped to that port or
available are shown.). Channels assigned to other ports can only be changed from
that port’s configuration menu. Choices for the unassigned channels are IDLE and
THRU. The default is al l channels IDL E
.
IDLE
This selection does not allocate a channel to that port. Sets the specified channel to
transmit idle code on the DSX port and ignore received data.

port, and the high-speed ports, including the Dual DSX port card. The network
interface of the unit recognizes in-band and FDL out- of- band loopback requests.
The Dual DSX also recognizes local testing and remote network management
loopback test configurations as shown in Figure 2-5. The unit supports many ways
to test the service to and from the unit.
Diagnostics
For the Dual DSX card, the supported loop (see Figure 2-6) is for the local
interface only. The NEAR selection invokes a loopback at the interface that loops
the receive data back towards the customer’s equipment. The unit also supports
several other loops for other interfaces. Ports in alarm are shown on the DTE
Alarms list. BERTs can be performed on the Dual DSX port.

This chapter describes the screens and menus applicable to the Dual DSX card that
are associated with the PRISM 3030 and 3060 terminal interface, an application
program embedded inside those units. The Operations chapter disc ussed the
screens and menus associated with the front panel interface. Although the options
are essentially the same for both interfaces, the terminal interface is able to show
more parameters on each screen.
The Main Menu screen (Figure 3-1) lists the functional user accessible menus. To
activate any menu, highlight the desired selection and press Enter. This menu and
any subsequent menu can be exited by pressing the Escape key. If the Main Menu
is exited, th e termina l interface program te rminates. T his is a valid way to e nd a
user session. If any other menu is exite d, the previous scre en is returned .
If no key is pres sed for 10 minute s, the ter minal i nterface logs off auto matically. To
manually log off, press the E scape key from th e Main Menu.

Registers
The main body of the Alarms screen shows the current count for parameters used
to trigger an alarm.
The Current co lumn shows the total of the preceding 15 one - min ute intervals. At
the end of each one-minute interval, the oldest minute of the 15 - minute interval is
discarded.
The Threshold column shows the values set in the Alarm screen. Any parameter
that has a current value equal to or greater than its non-zero threshold generates an
alarm. Any parameter with a threshold value of 0 is disabled from generating
alarms.
The DTE LOS/OOF seconds field does not apply to the Dual DSX card.
The parameters shown on the Alarms Screen are updated at five-second intervals.
Displays the number of seconds that the element has been without power since this
value was last cleared.
Pressing Enter on (RESET) clears all Current alarm parameters, but does not
change 24 - hour or 30 -day performance registers.
