Administration and maintenance tools

R2MFC MBM configuration involves the following:

Internal link configuration for the PRI internal link to the BCM. The internal link uses preset characteristics and therefore does not require localization.

External link configuration of the MFC-R2 E1 the external interface to public network. The external link allows for localization in different countries.

External link configuration is performed using the DIP switches on the front of the R2MFC MBM or by using the CLI, which is accessed through a serial port on the faceplate of the R2MFC MBM. Internal link configuration is performed using either Element Manager or Unified Manager. Refer to “Configuring the R2MFC MBM” on page 45 for information on how to use the configuration tools.

R2MFC MBM faceplate elements

The faceplate of the R2MFC MBM consists of the following elements:

“System Status LEDs” on page 23

“Config DIP switches” on page 23

“RS232 port” on page 24

“E1 Status LEDs” on page 24

“Bantam jacks” on page 24

“BNC and RJ-48 connectors” on page 24

Figure 2 illustrates the placement of these elements.
