Appendix D. Configuring the Unit for DSX-1 Applications

The Total Access 600 Series systems are available with an integrated DSX-1 interface for both voice and data applications. Regardless of the application (either voice or data), the Total Access 6XX has the ability to map DS0s from the network T1 to DS0s on the DSX-1 interface (cross-connect) without affecting the data present on the DS0s. This feature allows the Total Access 6XX to support voice with dedicated signaling channels (ISDN), voice with in-channel signaling information (Robbed Bit Signaling (RBS) to a PBX, key system, etc.), as well as clear channel data to an external T1 router.

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 details for configuring the Total Access 6XX to pass analog voice over the DSX-1 interface (using RBS), digital voice (fractional PRI with D-Channel), and data bandwidth. The Total Access 6XX provides a single DSX-1 interface, so it is unlikely that your application will require all three features on the DSX-1 interface simultaneously; therefore ignore any steps that do not pertain to your application.

Perform the following steps in order to configure the applications (INTERFACES through DS0 MAPS).

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.

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.
