Installing a Formatter Card (CEPT, DS1)
The CEPT and DS1/T1 formatter cards are installed in any empty DSU
slot. The DSU cabinet supplies the power for the card and provides a
message interface back to the controller through the FIM interface and the
fiber optic cable.
To install a formatter card:
1. Install the formatter card. For details, see “Install the DSU Cards” on
page 50.
2. If you are installing a CEPT card, connect the cables from the external
network to the BNC connectors on the CEPT interface assembly.
3. If you are installing a DS1 card, connect the 22 AWG (22 IWG)
shielded twisted pair cables from the external network to the DB-15 pin
connectors on the DS1 interface assembly (see Table 72 on page 290
for the DB-15 connector pinout and Table 73 on page 291 for the
pinouts for line/network termination).
Next: Go to “To test a formatter card:” below.
To test a formatter card:
If the installation is successful, the card will boot up.
1. Inspect the LEDs on the faceplate to verify that the card is functioning
(see “BRI Card” on page 356 for details).
2. Log into the System Administration Tool (see page 8).
3. In the All forms (alphabetical) list, click Maintenance Commands.
4. Enter STATE <PLID of the card> to verify that the trunks associated
with the corresponding channels are all in IDLE state.
Next: Go back to “Install the Interface Assemblies” on page 49.
Installing a PRI Card
Before you install the PRI card, ensure that:
• The system has a free DSU slot for the PRI card.
• The PRI card has been upgraded to use ISDN 7.0 (LW31.1+).
Tip: Before you install the card, ensure that you have programmed the card
using the System Administration Tool (see the Online Help for details) and
installed the interface assembly (see “Install the Interface Assemblies” on
page 49).
