The WAN xcon screen allows the crafts person to quickly see where the connections are on
each of the four WAN ports. For naming changes, and editing connections, the Cross-Connect
(Xcon) command in the Main screen level allows you to view and add the time slot or DS0
assignments that have been set up in the system. This screen offers a centralized place for
managing the cross-connects on the IMACS-200. From the main IMACS-200 screen, press
‘X’ for the Xcon option. This screen will display to the user all the of the WAN to WAN
cross-connections that have been made on the IMACS-200. New connections can be added by
selecting the Add function as shown in Figure 5-6, and using the arrow keys to select and
update the various fields. To see all of the connections made on the IMACS-200, the user can
type ‘V’ for ‘View All”. A display such as is shown in Figure 5-7 will appear. This screen can
also be used to initiate changes in the WAN to WAN cross-connects, as well as changing the
names of Voice circuits. Time slot and cross-connect configuration are discussed in the System
Operations chapter of this manual.
