Setup
The following steps outline the rear chassis connections (see Figure 3-3).
Figure 3-3. Rear Chassis Connections
1. Connect the incoming DS3 (the DS3 from which the DS1s are dropped) to the DS3 A
BNCs.
2. Connect the outgoing DS3 to the DS3 B BNCs.
3. Connect the DS1s using the amphenol connectors on the rear panel.
For more information, refer to “Rear Chassis Connections” on page 4-7.
NOTE
The default mapping of the 3/1 cross-connect is for all the DS1s to
pass straight through from one DS3 to the other. No DS1s are
dropped to the DSX-1 ports or the expansion slots. If needed, re-
establish the default mapping through selecting the Restore Map to
Factory Default option in the “Cross-Connect Menu” on page 6-35.
Starting from the default mapping, use the Quick Setup menu to drop the DS1s. Select each
DS1 port (1–16) to which a DS1 needs to be dropped from the incoming DS3. For each DS1
port, select the DS1 in DS3 A to be dropped to that DS1 port.
Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 show an example of setting up a drop and continue application.
Figure 3-4 shows the Quick Setup menu before any DS1s have been dropped. Figure 3-5
shows the same menu after DS1s 12–15 have been dropped from DS3 A to DS1 Ports 1–4,
respectively. DS1s 1–11 and 16–28 continue through from DS3 A to DS3 B. DS1s 12–15 in
DS3 B are now filled with AIS going out DS3 B.
