Planning Form Instructions

On Form 3b (page 1), Incoming Trunks: DS1 Connectivity (100D Module), for each 100D module in the system:

1.In the Module Slot No. space, write the number of the control unit slot that contains the module (see the Control Unit Diagram on Form 1).

NOTE:

If more than one 100D module is used, complete the first box, Module 1, to show the options assigned to the 100D module in the lowest number control unit slot. Use the second box for the second lowest-numbered slot, and the last box for the highest-numbered slot.

2.Under Type of Service, check T1 (the factory-setting).

NOTES:

1.For T1 or T1 Switched 56 service, the T1 box must be checked on the form. (If you leave this blank, and T1 is not specified during programming, the 100D module will not be programmed.)

2.Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 must match the service provider settings. Check with the provider if necessary. See “Obtaining Telephone Company Information,” in Chapter 1, for more information.

3.In the table under the T1 Trunks heading, write the channel number(s) for each trunk type and/or, for Tie or All Tie, check the Tie-PBX, Toll, or S56 boxes.

7.Under the Line Compensation heading:

a.Fill in the approximate distance (number of cable feet) between the 100D module and its channel service unit (CSU) or other far-end connection in the space provided next to Cable Feet.

b.Use Table 3–3 to select the Line Compensation setting needed. (The factory setting is 1.)
