1.2.3 Configuration
1.2.3.1 Configuration Fields
The 3200 supports Channel, Smart and Management configurations.
Channel configurations cover the set-up of all the channel cards, the Dual
LIUs when fitted in Ports 1 and 2, synchronisation plus the cross-connect
mappings on the system controller.
There are 14 channel configurations which are stored in non-volatile RAM
and edited in an edit buffer. A default configuration is programmed into
the software to ensure a valid fall back configuration is always available.
Any one of the 14 configurations may be selected and run.
Smart configurations are used by smart channel cards to store their
configuration data. This data is produced by the smart card but stored in
the system controller's non volatile RAM. Each smart card can generate 2
or 4 smart configurations. For each channel configuration a smart card
can be instructed to run any one of its configurations.
Management configurations are used to control the routing of the Network
Management data across PCM TS0 not frame word, and to the system
controllers V.28 network ports and management UARTS.
Fourteen management configurations are provided, each can select
different routing options for management data from the PCM TS0 not
frame word on the Dual LIU or V.28 ports on the system controller. A
management bus is used to allow all the cards in the system to exchange
management data. The management routing is controlled by a series of
pre-programmed patchfields on the system controller and Dual LIU, which
may be selected to provide the required configuration.
1.2.3.2 Equipment Map
A feature of the 3200 is the 'Equipment map'. This is provided to allow the
equipment to register which channel cards are fitted. In addition, the
equipment map is used to raise an alarm if a mapped channel card is
removed or replaced with an incompatible card. Channel Cards which are
not mapped in have fault reporting suppressed by the system controller
but will still function.
