CVX Multi-Service Access Switch 4.1 Release Notes
Operational Information
The following sections provide specific operational information that you need to
know before using the CVX switch.
Nonredundant SCC Configurations on the CVX Switch
In a nonredundant SCC configuration on the CVX 1800, configure the SCC for
slot 9 only. In a nonredundant SCC configuration on the CVX 600, configure the
SCC for slot 5 only.
Redundant SCC Configurations
In redundant SCC configurations, the CVX switch automatically considers the
SCC in the first SCC to be the master SCC upon initial power-up.
An example for the CVX 1800: if you have an SCC in slot 9 and an SCC in slot
10, the SCC in slot 9 will always be the master SCC and the SCC in Slot 10 will
be the slave. Be sure to configure shelf 1/slot 9 within config.cvx. Do not add
configuration entries under shelf 1/slot 10.
An example for the CVX 600: if you have an SCC in slot 5 and an SCC in slot 6,
the SCC in slot 5 will always be the master SCC and the SCC in Slot 6 will be the
slave. Be sure to configure shelf 1/slot 5 within config.cvx. Do not add
configuration entries under shelf 1/slot 6.
Redundant DS3-DAC Configurations
In redundant DS3-DAC configurations, the main DS3-DAC must be configured
for the lower of the two slots used. For example, if on a CVX 1800, there is a
DS3-DAC in slot 4 and in slot 5, the DS3-DAC in slot 4 must be configured as the
main card, and the DS3-DAC in slot 5 as the redundant card.
