Span Lines – Interface and Isolation
T1/E1 Span Interface
NOTE
At active sites, the OMC–R/CBSC must disable the BTS and
place it out of service (OOS). DO NOT remove the span line
cable connectors until the OMC–R/CBSC has disabled the BTS.
Each frame is equipped with one 50–pair punchblock for spans,
customer alarms, remote GPS, and BTS frame alarms. See NO TAG and
refer to NO TAG for the physical location and punchdown location
information.
Before connecting the LMF computer to the frame LAN, the
OMC–R/CBSC must disable the BTS and place it OOS. This will allow
the LMF to control the BTS, and prevent the CBSC from inadvertently
sending control information to the BTS during LMF–based tests.
Isolate BTS from T1/E1 Span(s)
Once the OMC–R/CBSC has disabled the BTS, the span(s) must be
disabled to ensure the LMF will maintain control of the BTS. To disable
the spans, disconnect the BTS–to–CBSC Transcoder span cable
connectors from the Span I/O cards (Figure 3-2).
