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.

Channel	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24
Numbers
Time slots	1	3	5	7	9	11	13	15	17	19	21	23	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	16	18	20	22	24

1.5Managing 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 encapsulates IP traffic in HDLC frames 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 checking for T1 interfaces. The two FDL interfaces cannot be used at the same time.

You can configure the Z-Plex using any of the following methods:

•SNMP

•CLI

•TFTP

1.5.1SNMP

The Z-Plex supports Simple Network Management Protocol (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 for the Z-Plex control the following:

Installing the Z-Plex

2.5Locating 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.

2.6Wall mounting

Prior to wall mounting check to see if the environment 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 included with unit) to secure the 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.

3.5Grounding requirements

Due to the UL regulatory requirements, a mounting stud is required for connection of the AC input earth ground lead to the product chassis. The ground lead must be connected to the chassis using a No. 6 nut and lock washer combination. The mounting location is labeled with the IEC 417 No. 5019 symbol () to identify this as the AC earth ground connection point. This mounting stud is located next to the IEC 320 AC input connector.

The loop battery return and the FXS digital and analog circuitry must share a common ground. The access point on the back panel of the product allows connection to an external battery return lead which will be physically connected to the FXS circuit ground. This access point is provided as part of the DC power input connector.
