Chapter 5. MODEM, RMI/TMI, AND SWITCH CONFIGURATION

5.1 Overview

IMPORTANT
In order to avoid damage to the modems and CRS-300 switch, it is important for the
user to follow this sequence of configuration:
First, connect cables between the (powered OFF) modems and Switch as
outlined in Chapter 4. CABLES AND CONNECTIONS.
Second, configure the modems for 1:N redundant operation as outlined in
this chapter in Sect. 5.2 Modem Configuration.
Third, if needed, configure the Switch RMI/TMI cards as outlined in this
chapter in Sect. 5.3 RMI Card Configuration Reference and Sect. 5.4 TMI
Card Configuration Reference.
Fourth, once the modems and Switch RMI/TMI cards have been properly
configured for 1:N redundant operation, the User should then set the
CRS-300 for proper operation via the front panel, as outlined in this chapter
in Sect. 5.5. Switch Configuration.
