24.4 Installation
As with other FOCUS modules, we recommend
that you initially install and test the 6NE module
and interface in a “test” chassis (i.e., one that is not
part of an operating network). This way, you can
quickly perform the acceptance test without inter-
fering with a live network. Whether you are
installing the module in a test chassis or a chassis
that is on line in a network, use the installation
procedure described here.
The 6NE module occupies one chassis slot and one
or more time slots (DS0s), depending on the N
value. Before installing the module and its
interface, make sure that:
The FOCUS chassis is set up, energized, and
operational, with all necessary common
equipment (see Chapter 3)
The FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS
version 3.10 or greater) has been installed on
your computer (see Chapter 3)
Acceptance tests for the FOCUS chassis and
all previously installed equipment have been
done to rule out invalid test results for this
module
FCS is up and running (see the FCS online
help facility: FOCUS Configuration
Software > Starting FCS)
24.4.1 Hardware Installation and
Connections
To install the 6NE module and interface, complete
the following steps.

NOTE

bility with the 6NE module.
MV2 N/A
MV3 ≥ 3.09
MV4 ≥ 4.12
MV5 ≥ 5.0
WHEN SETTING UP THE SYSTEM EXTERNAL TO THE 6NE
MODULES WITHIN A GIVEN FOCUS NETWORK, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO INSURE THAT A PARTICULAR TRANS-
CEIVER STREAM IS ONLY MAPPED TO THE 6NE
MODULES AT ONE POINT. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
REQUIREMENT WILL RESULT IN A LOOP THAT COULD
TEMPORARILY DISABLE YOUR NETWORK.
CAUTION !
