generic requirements for interfacing between local digi tal switches and remote digital
terminals via the SLC
TR-08 has three operational modes. The Z-Plex supports Mode I:
• Mode I is a non-concentrated, non-blocking configuration where each channel is
assigned a dedicated DS0 time slot.
• Mode II is a concentrated configuration (allows blocking) with 48 channels sharing
24 DS0 time slots. T ime slot s are ass igned on a demand ba sis for t he duration of the ca ll.
• Mode III is a non-concentrated mode used for coin and D4 single-circuit channel banks.
R
96 digital loop carrier system.
The RT channel numbering scheme supported by the product is described in Bellcore
publication TR-TSY-0000008.
1-2 \ Zhone Technologies
Introduction Managing the Z-Plex
When a T1 port is configured for TR-08 format, the voice channels assigned to this port are
identified by channel number (according to the TR-TSY-000008 document), which may be
different from the T1 time slot number. The product supports only Shelf A. The relation
between a channel number and corresponding slot number for TR-08 is shown in the
following table.

123456789101112131415161718192021222324
1.5 Managing the Z-Plex
The Z-Plex provides the following interfaces to configure the unit:
• Serial (craft)—An out-of-band RS232 serial interface.
• DS0—The DS0 management channel en capsulates IP traf fic in HDLC fra mes using DS0
24.
• Ethernet —You can telnet to the Z-Plex over the Ethernet to manage the unit.
• IP over FDL —The Z-Plex unit supports IP over FDL as a way to configure the system
via the CLI. The IP over FDL connection is different than the standard FDL interface
which provides error chec king for T1 int erfaces. The t wo FDL interf aces canno t be used
at the same time.
You can configure the Z-Plex using any of the following methods:
• SNMP
• CLI
• TFTP
1.5.1 SNMP
The Z-Plex supports Simple Net work Management Prot ocol (SNMP) version 1 and version 2
for system management. Network object variables are management information base II
(MIB-II) compliant.
SNMP can be accessed over a number of IP interfaces, including IP over FDL, the DS0 24
management channel, or the Ethernet interface. The SNMP agent on the Z-Plex uses to port
161 of UDP for management traffic and UDP port 162 for error events and SNMP traps.
The MIBs fo r the Z-Plex control the following:

• FXS/FXO configuration, status, and diagnostics.
• Data port configuration, status, and diagnostics.
• General chassis management, field upgrades, and alarms.
1.5.2 CLI
The CLI is an easy- to-us e int erfac e that is functi onall y sim ila r to S NMP. The CLI commands
are equivalent to SNMP get and set commands and allow you to quickly configure the unit.
The interface is accessible both via telnet and through a local serial port. You can configure
the same elements with the CLI as you c an with SNMP.
1.5.3 TFTP

2.5 Locating the product on a desktop
Each unit can be easily set on top of a desk or table. A stable environment is necessary for
peak performance of each unit. The chassis should be placed on a flat, smooth surface, such
as a table, that is free of contaminants. This surface should be capable of supporting a fully
equipped chassis. Be sure to allow enough clearance above and below the chassis for proper
air circulation. The metal brackets and feet furnished with the chassis must be used for this
purpose.
2.6 Wall mounting
Prior to wall mounting check to see if the environ ment is stable and free from any extreme
temperatures, humidity or vibrations of any sort. The unit should be mounted with the fan to
the top with at least 2 inches of clear space on the sides, above, and below for adequate air
flow. Allow at least 6 inches for cable clearance.
When attaching unit(s) to a wall make sure that appropriate fasteners such as masonry
anchors, heavy duty wood screws or expansion bolts are used for heavy objects.
Note: Additional support hardware may be necessary (not i nclud ed with u nit) to secu r e th e
unit properly to the wall. If the surface is not solid enough to hold the unit and
attached cabling, it is recommended that a small piece of 3/4” plywood be fastened
to the wall before attaching the unit. This will help ensure a more stable environment.
