Paradyne Hotwire M/SDSL and HDSL2 Termination Units, 8747, 8777 Setting the Cross-Connect Modes

Cross-Connecting Ports

NOTES:

Although the example in this chapter shows ports dedicated to voice or data, a port can be configured for both voice and data.

In DS0 Cross Connect mode, for G.703 ports using Common Channel

Signaling (CCS), you must explicitly configure the cross-connections for Time

Slot 16 and related time slots.

You may find it useful to diagram your configuration. Appendix E, Cross-Connection Worksheets, contains a skeleton diagram for this purpose. It also contains worksheets for documenting your time slot cross-connections before you begin to configure them.

Setting the Cross-Connect Modes

To access the Set Cross-Connect Mode screen, follow this menu selection sequence:

Main Menu → Configuration → Load Configuration From →

Cross-Connect → Set Cross-Connect Mode

When the screen is first displayed, all ports are set to DS1 Bypass mode. In this example, Ports 1 and 2 have been changed to DS0 Cross-connect, and Ports 3–8 have been changed to DS1 Bypass. Unassigned appears next to Ports 1 and 2 because time slots associated with the cross-connection have not yet been assigned.
