Lucent Technologies Network Access Module manual Merlin Magix Administration

MERLIN MAGIX Administration C

This appendix describes the MERLIN MAGIX system programming options for the INA module. The INA module is identified as a 100R module in MERLIN MAGIX programming and console displays.

The following topics are covered:

• “INA Module System Programming Summary” on page C-1

• “INA Module Administration Options” on page C-1

• “INA Module Maintenance Options” on page C-3

INA￿Module System Programming Summary

• “INA Module System Interactions” on page C-7

In general, the INA/100R module supports the same system programming options as the 100D module. Specific exceptions and additions are noted in this appendix. Additions include the ability to configure and maintain the internal CSU/DSU supported by the 100R module. Exceptions include that only bipolar 8-zero substitution (B8ZS) encoding is supported when the module is used in PRI mode. For more information on 100D module programming, see the System Programming Manual (555-710-111).

Note – To avoid corruption of data sent and received by the integrated data router, Lucent recommends that all T1/PRI lines used with the INA module be provisioned for B8ZS encoding.

Each 100R module accommodates up to 23 PRI channels or 24 T1 channels. Each channel can be either used by the MERLIN MAGIX or assigned to the data router. Channels assigned to the router can be used for Internet access, remote network connections, and other WAN applications.

Channels on the 100R module provide the same features and capabilities as channels on a 100D module. For example, the channels on the 100R module can be configured as robbed-bit channels for T1 applications or can be used in B-channel groups for PRI applications. Channels on the 100R module count towards system capacities just as channels on the 100D module do. Channels that are assigned to the router are included in the count. Therefore, the combined total of 100R and 100D modules in a system cannot exceed three.

In addition to MERLIN MAGIX system programming, the INA module requires programming specifically for the router subsystem. (See “Network Settings” on page 2-2.)

INA Module Administration Options

The INA module introduces two additional administration options: to activate or deactivate the onboard CSU and DSU channel selection.
