Cross-Connecting Ports

4

Overview

Configuration of the cross-connections consists of the following steps:

❑Determine how the ports will be connected and configured.

❑On the Network Interface Options screen, enable the DSL ports that will be in the cross-connection if necessary. The ports are enabled by default.

❑On the DSX-1 or G.703 Interface Options screen, enable the DSX-1 or G.703 ports that will be in the cross-connection.

For G.703, specify whether Time Slot 16 is used for signaling (voice mode).

❑On the System Clock screen, configure the system clock.

❑On the Cross-Connect Mode screen:

—Define all DS1 Bypass ports.

—Define all DS1 Cross-Connect ports.

—Define all DS0 Cross-Connect ports.

❑On the Assign Time Slots screen, configure the DS0 cross-connections.

This chapter describes the use of the Cross-Connect Mode and Assign Time Slots screens. See Appendix A, Configuration Options, for information about configuration options presented on the other screens.

Examples in this chapter show screens for DSX-1 models. The principles of cross-connection are the same for G.703 models.

IMPORTANT:

All DSL time slots are available for cross-connect regardless of DSL line rate, but all time slots are available for data transport only if the DSL line rate is the full rate (1552 for DSX-1 or 2064 for G.703). Configure only the time slots intended for use.
