Cross-Connecting Ports
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.
