Assign Primary and Secondary TMC

Assign Primary and Secondary TMC

1.Show current TMC settings with the following command: show tmc

The show command will produce a message showing the time-slot management channel (TMC) settings similar to the following:

Settings for TMC:	DS1	25,	Channel	24
Primary TMC:
Secondary TMC:	DS1	29,	Channel	24

NOTE: For proper operation, the EOC must be on Channel 12 and the TMC on Channel 24 of the DS1. The first switch DS1 (TermID = 1) in the GR-303 interface group must contain the primary EOC and TMC. The second DS1 (TermID = 2) must contain the secondary EOC and TMC. By default, DS1 #25 is TermID 1 and DS1 #29 is TermID 2. The show ds1 all command lists the DS1 TermIDs.

2.If switch TMC settings are correct, skip remaining steps.

NOTE: It is recommended that primary and secondary EOC and TMC be assigned to different Quad T1 Framer (QF) cards for added protection. In the event one QF card fails, the GR-303 switch will then be able to continue service using the redundant EOC and TMC on a different QF card. QF card #1 contains DS1 #1 to #4, QF card #2 contains DS1 #5 to #8, etc. By default, the primary EOC and TMC are on DS1 #25 and the secondary EOC and TMC are on DS1 #29.

3.Set TMC primary location with the following command:

set tmc primary <n:chnone>

Example:	set tmc primary 25:24
Example:	set tmc primary none

4.Set TMC secondary channel location with the following command: set tmc secondary <n:chnonenone>

Example:	set tmc secondary 29:24
Example:	set tmc secondary none
