Configuring the T1 Network
This chapter gives you instructions for configuring the DS1 network
elements with Access Manager. These operations are performed from the
Configuration menu.
The tasks outlined in this chapter include:
■
Configuring nodes (pag e5-10)
■
Configuring circuit elements (pag e5-44)
■
Configuring circuits (page 5-102)
■
CSU acceptance testing (page 5-108)
Many operations and features are common to both AS2000 systems and
551VST type systems, but there are also some significant differences.
When there is a difference, you will be presented with a menu that is
customized for the difference.
Access System 2000 hardware is available in both dual-line and multiline
shelving configurations, while ConnecT1 Plus hardware is only available
in a dual-line configuration. The software specifications of the two
products are, however, very similar. Because of this similarity, this
chapter treats them as interchangeable.
