Installation

NMS Connection

A COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier can be connected to a variety of Network Management Systems (6800 Series NMS, 6700 Series NMS, DATAPHONE II Level 4 System Controller, DATAPHONE II Diagnostic Console, DATAPHONE II Network Controller, and ANALYSIS 6510 NMS) via the control channel interface on the SDU, but all 16 slots in the carrier can only be controlled by one Network Management System. One control channel can manage up to eight COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carriers by daisy chaining from the CC IN) to the CC OUT interfaces on the SDU in each carrier.

NOTE

You cannot use the NMS connected through the SDU with either Model 3151 CSUs or 3161 DSU/CSUs.

The types of NMS that can connect to the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier have a variety of physical and electrical interfaces. The control channel

CCIN interface on the SDU, where the NMS is connected to the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, is a 6-pin modular jack. For each type of NMS, a specific adapter is required to convert the control channel interface from the NMS to the 6-pin modular plug required for the SDU. The adapters required are described below.

The COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS, 6700 Series NMS, ANALYSIS 6510 NMS, and later releases of the DATAPHONE II Level 4 System Controller use a 25-pin EIA-232 interface and a gender adapter.

The 25-pin to 6-pin adapter for a central site is AT&T Paradyne feature number 4400-F1-594; for the remote site, it is 6821-F1-518. The ANALYSIS gender adapter is AT&T Paradyne part number 4951-031. In addition, a 6-conductor cord with

6-pin plugs on each end can be used to make this connection. This cord is AT&T Paradyne feature number 4400-F1-510 (3 feet).

You can also connect a remote NMS to a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier via a Modular 3551, 3611, or 3616 DSU and an NMS adapter cable (feature number 3000-F2-510). For information on how to install the NMS adapter cable, refer to the appropriate user documentation.

The DATAPHONE II Diagnostic Console, Network Controller, and older releases of a Level 4 System Controller use a 10-pin interface for the Control Channel. The 10-pin to 6-pin cable is AT&T Paradyne feature number 4400-F1-577 (5 feet). Use this adapter when the DSUs in the carrier are controls on the backbone network.

To connect the local NMS to the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier:

.Procedure

1.Obtain the correct adapter, as described above, and connect it to the network management port on the NMS device (on the COMSPHERE and DATAPHONE II systems, the port is labeled

CCOUT or DC OUT). (See Figure 3-17 for an NMS to a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier connection, Figure 3-18 for a diagnostic channel daisy chain of devices into a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier, and Figure 3-19 for a diagnostic channel daisy chain of devices from a COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier.)

2.Use a 6-pin modular telephone cord to connect the modular side of the adapter to the CC IN jack on the rear of the SDU in the COMSPHERE 3000 Series Carrier (Figure 3-20).

3.For a cabinet configuration with multiple carriers, connect all of the SDUs in a daisy chain, starting with the SDU connected to the NMS. Use a 6-pin modular telephone cord to connect the CC OUT jack at the rear of this SDU to the CC IN jack of the SDU in the next carrier above or below it. Use another cord to connect the second SDU's

CCOUT jack to the next SDU's CC IN. Continue to the last carrier in the cabinet.

4.After at least one DSU has been installed in the carrier, check that the SDU is functioning properly by polling the DSUs for health and status.
