Power-up and Test

2.5.3Connecting a Drop/Insert Interface

The Drop/Insert Interface is used to connect various CSMIM-T1 channels to a local PBX or other equipment. The Drop/Insert Interface port is located on the front panel of the CSMIM-T1.

To connect your local equipment to the CSMIM-T1, simply plug the RJ48C connector located on the Drop/Insert Interface Cable into the Drop/Insert Interface port located on the front panel of the CSMIM-T1.

When the connector clicks into place, the connection is secure. Appendix A describes the Drop/Insert Interface port’s signal/pin allocation.

The CSMIM-T1 can incur damage if the cables conduct

!transients such as those induced by lightning strikes, etc.

CAUTION

2.6POWER-UP AND TEST

1.Apply power (or insert into MMAC). The CSMIM-T1 now runs its ROM-resident power-up diagnostics. The indicators momentarily light and then turn off, except for the ON LINE LED and some status LEDs.

If the diagnostics complete successfully, the CSMIM-T1 either enters SET UP Mode and waits for configuration data to be entered, or boots its operational image from Flash.

You can enter configuration information through a terminal connected to the console port. The ROM monitor prompt (monitor::) appears on the terminal.

If the ATTN and the STAT LEDs are flashing together, there is a CSMIM-T1 hardware failure. Contact Technical Support.

If the ATTN LED is flashing, there is a network or network interface failure. An error message will display on the console.

If a network or network interface failure occurs, typing q accesses the ROM Monitor prompt. Check the network connection, and then see the net command in Chapter 3.

See Chapter 5 for additional troubleshooting information.

2.Verify the CSMIM-T1 hardware configuration.
