COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier

Optional fan modules provide cooling to the devices in the cabinets for operation at high ambient temperatures.

An optional speaker panel provides audio monitoring of any one Model 3811 or 3911 dial/lease modem installed in the carrier. This panel enables audio signals (e.g., dial tone, busy signal, and ringing) to be heard during normal operations.

DSUs, DBMs, DBM-Vs, DBM-Ss, DBM-Ds, TDMs, MCMPs, and dial/lease modems can be managed from an SDCP, a Network Management System (NMS), or both. T1 CSUs and T1 DSU/CSUs are managed from an SDCP or remote PC. An SDCP or NMS can manage up to eight carriers and can control up to 128 compatible DSUs.

If more than one carrier is to be controlled by the SDCP, and/or if an NMS is to control the carriers, an SDU must be installed. The SDU then serves as the interface that links the carriers together so that one NMS and/or one SDCP can control the units in the cabinet(s).

NOTE

Although the SDCP is the last piece of equipment installed in the bottom of the carrier, the ribbon cable should be installed before installing the power transformer unit; it must be plugged into the backplane and run through the built-in retainer clips to the SDCP at the front of the carrier.

An alarm output is also available for connecting an external alarm device to all 16 DSUs and/or dial/lease modems in a carrier, or to an entire cabinet. It provides a relay contact that reports device and network failures to local alarm reporting networks in an equipment room. The relay is capable of switching up to 30 watts (resistive load), with a maximum voltage of 60 Vdc, and a maximum current of 1 amp for switching and 2 amps for the steady state.

Cabinet Unpacking and Setup

When shipped, COMSPHERE 72-inch cabinets are packed in cardboard shipping containers secured to wooden pallets. The shipping containers are bound with plastic straps. Inside the shipping container, the cabinet itself is strapped to the wooden pallet with plastic straps.

There is minimal clearance between the cabinet and the shipping container, and the cabinet frame is not wrapped in packing material.

Presetup Inspection

Before opening the shipping container, inspect it for signs of damage. Specific signs to check for are major tears or puncture holes on the sides of the container, splits in the seams, corner damage or any additional signs of the container having been dropped (badly damaged pallet, etc.).

If the shipping container does show signs of damage, report this immediately to your shipping representative and also to your AT&T Paradyne representative.

Unpacking the Cabinet

Using a utility knife, cut all plastic straps surrounding the container.

You will need to cut the container to unpack the cabinet. When cutting the container, do not cut along the container's seams. Doing so may damage the cabinet because of the lack of clearance.

Due to the bulk and weight of the cabinet, it is recommended that you cut around the base of the container to lift it off the cabinet. If your ceilings do not provide enough clearance, you may have to tip the container and cabinet sideways. You will need another person to help you tip the container and cabinet, and pull the container off.

Once the container is off, cut the plastic straps holding the cabinet frame to the pallet. Remove the packing material at the base of the cabinet and lift the cabinet to its desired location. You will need a large dolly to help you lift and move the cabinet to its planned location.
