Equipment Description

Front Panel Indicators

The front panel of the system provides LED indicators for the alarm status of the transmit and the receive T3 and the T2 interfaces (refer to Table D-2and Figure D-2). Also on the front panel are indications for power and for operating status (Fail/Active).

The Overflow LED indicates that the cell rate coming from the T3 interface exceeds the bandwidth of the T2 facility and that the Interface Adapter buffer has overflowed.

Red

T3 receive cell rate exceeds the T2 line capacity.

 

 

 

 

FT2

 

Red

Fractional T2 indication for future use.

 

 

 

 

T3/T2 loop

 

Red

Indicates the unit is in loop back mode, external toward the T3

 

 

 

 

and T2 line interfaces.

 

 

 

 

Active/Fail

 

Green/Red

Upon power up the system will go through extensive self tests.

 

 

 

 

If self-test passes, the Active/Fail LED will be green; if

 

 

 

 

self-test fails the LED will be RED.

 

 

 

 

Power

 

Green

Power ON indication.

 

 

 

 

 

DIP Switches

The adapter has two front panel DIP switches, a two-position (SW-1), and a 12-position (SW-2) switch. SW-1 controls the configurations that may interrupt operation and should be done through a two-step operation. SW-2 enables all other configuration parameters.
