SETTING UP CONNECTIONS
The following sections list the tasks you need to perform to set up service for these interfaces.

DS1 Line/Management Combination Card

The DS1 line/management card acts as both a line and an AMC card, providing configuration
and management support for the Avidia system as well as eight DS1 uplinks to transmit
subscriber traffic as ATM cells.
You must configure both DS1 and system parameters when configuring the DS1
line/management card. You cannot directly configure a DS1 line/management card using
StarGazer. Instead, the Avidia system containing the DS1 line/management card must first be
subtended to an AV8000 or AV3000 system (see “Subtending Multiple Systems” on page45
for information on configuring subtending). Once the system is subtended, you can use in-band
management to configure the DS1 and management parameters.
There are three steps in configuring a DS1 line/management card:
1Subtend the system containing the DS1 line/management card to an Avidia 8000 or 3000
(see “Subtending Multiple Systems” on page 45).
2Configure the system boot parameters, trap enablers, and identifiers for the system in which
the DS1 line/management card resides (see “Subtending Multiple Systems” on page 45).
3Configure the DS1 ports on the DS1 line/management card. See “Configuring DS1
Service” on page 143 (command-line interface) or “Configuring DS1 Service” on page417
(Web interface).
