Appendix A. Configuring the Unit for Routing

Initial Setup

It is best to configure Total Access 6XX TDM applications by following the order of the top-level menus. For example, first configure the system parameters using the SYSTEM INFO and SYSTEM CONFIG menus. Next, configure the Layer 1 parameters using the INTERFACES menu. Once the Layer 1 information is configured, proceed to the Layer 2 setup using the L2 PROTOCOL menus. Follow the Layer 2 setup with the data “routing” menus (either BRIDGE or ROUTER). Establish packet forwarding and blocking using the SECURITY menus. Lastly, configure the physical mappings using the DS0 MAPS menus.

The following example provides step by step instructions for configuring the Total Access 6XX T1 TDM system (INTERFACES through DS0 MAPS) for a standard routing application. System Info and System Config parameters should be set according to your system need. Refer to System Info on page 49 and System Config on page 51 for more details.

1. Setting up the Interfaces

T1 Interface Setup Instructions

Step Action

1From the main menu, select INTERFACES.

2Highlight the CONFIG menu for the T1 interface and press <ENTER>.

3Right arrow to select FORMAT and choose ESF or SF.

This format must match the format used by the other units in the network.

4

Set the LINE CODE to B8ZS or AMI.

This line code must match the line code used by the other units in the network.

5Set the EQUALIZATION or line build out. The default setting of 0 DB is usually sufficient.

6Set the CSU LPBK option to ENABLE, DISABLE, or DISABLE ALL based on whether looping to this unit from another unit will be allowed.
