3.2 Grounding TelsiNex

You need a grounding cable beforehand to ground TelsiNex. Once the TelsiNex chassis is mounted in a rack, connect the grounding cables. The chassis ground connections require 12 AWG annealed solid copper conductors, bare or individually insulated with colored Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) listed by Underwriters Laboratories (refer to Telcordia document TA-TSY-000120).
Warning: This equipment must be grounded. Ensure that the chassis is connected to the earth ground during normal use. While installing the unit, always make the ground connection first. All TelsiNex units must be grounded using the chassis grounding cable and lug provided. The grounding must be done to the nearest grounding bus bar or junction plate. Grounding must not be done to the steel racks or to the steel part of any other equipment. The grounding cable must be run to the nearest copper grounding busbar/ plate. Obtain and record the ground resistance of the site from the site in charge.

To connect a grounding cable: 1. In the chassis, locate the grounding stud with two bolts. 2. Attach the other end of the ground cable to the rack, the grounding busbar, or any appropriate earth ground.
Note: The connection between TelsiNex and earth ground point must have an electrical resistance of less than one ohm.

Booting and Configuring Basic Parameters

This chapter guides you through the booting sequence of TelsiNex and helps you to configure basic parameters of the system through the CLI. This chapter covers the following topics: Section 6.1, Booting TelsiNex Section 6.3, Configuring Basic Parameters

6.1 Booting TelsiNex

TelsiNex booting is successful if POST is successful after you power on TelsiNex. The user then starts the terminal emulation program (TeraTerm or Hyper Terminal) on the computer and connects it to RS-232A or by computer running Telnet connected to Ethernet Port - 1. It displays the default configuration of TelsiNex. After you power on TelsiNex, start the terminal emulation program on the computer. Observe the booting sequence of TelsiNex on the computer. It displays the configuration of TelsiNex.

6.2 Accessing TelsiNex Through Telnet

To access TelsiNex through telnet: 1. Click Start, then select Run. 2. Enter the telnet command followed by the IP address of TelsiNex. The CLI window opens. You can also use a telnet client like Putty.
Booting and Configuring Basic Parameters 6-1

Configuring Basic Parameters

3. Enter the default login name and password as admin.

6.3 Configuring Basic Parameters

You can configure the clock as internal, external, or derived based on the field requirement. However, irrespective of the type of clock set at one end, the remote TelsiNex must derive its clock from the bearer output of local TelsiNex. You can also set the transparent channels according to the requirement and usage.

6.3.1 Setting the Name

To set the name for TelsiNex, use the following command:
set dcme serialnum <serialnum_string>

Here serialnum_string can be any 96 character box serial number. For example:
set dcme serialnum tel_north_region_32

6.3.2 Setting the Clock

You must set the local and remote clocks to trunk and bearer respectively. Configure the clock as internal, external or derived based on the field requirement. However, irrespective of the type of clock set at one end, the remote TelsiNex must derive its clock from the bearer output of local TelsiNex.

Configuring Basic Parameters

Setting the Local Clock

To set the main clock, use the following command:
set dcme clockselect <sys|ber|trk trunkId (1-16)>

You must always set the local clock to trunk, as shown in the following example;
set dcme clockselect trk 1

Setting the Remote Clock

To set the remote clock, use the following command:
set dcme remote clock <sys|ber|trk trunkId (1-16)>

You must always set the remote clock to bearer, as shown in the following example:
set dcme remote clock ber

6.3.3 Setting Transparent Channels

Set the transparent channels according to the requirement and usage defined by the customer.

Booting and Configuring Basic Parameters

6-3

Configuring Basic Parameters

To set the local transparent channel, use the following command:

set poolinfo map transparent <trunkId (1-16)> <trunkChannelId (1-31)>

To set the remote transparent channel, use the following command:

set dcme remote transparentchannel (1-16)> <trunkChannelId (1-31)> <trunkId

Note: You must enable or disable the transparent channels in the same order at both the local end and the remote end. For example, assume that you enter the following commands at the local end: set poolinfo map transparent 1 1 set poolinfo map transparent 1 2 Ensure that you set the remote channels in the same order: set dcme remote transparentchannel 1 1 set dcme remote transparent channel 1 2

6.3.4 Setting PCM Mode

The customer defines the PCM mode. It can be PCM30 or PCM31. Both TelsiNex systems in a link must have the same PCM mode setting. To set pcmmode to PCM31, enter the following command:
set dcme pcmmode 1

To set pcmmode to PCM30, enter the following command

set dcme pcmmode 2

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides some troubleshooting tips.

7.1 Replacing the Power Supply

You may need to replace the power supply if the power supply is defective. TelsiNex is equipped with dual supplies to provide redundancy. Both supplies are hot swappable and the system will continue to work normally with only one supply working. A power supply defect is signalled by the front panel POWER LED, going red. The status of both power supply and failure of any one is reported on the NMS or terminal. You can also ascertain the defective unit by observing the two LEDs on each of the power supply module. The failed supply module would have either one or none of the LEDs glowing. If the failure is at the supply source, then both the -48V (yellow) LED and the 12V(green) LED would be off. If the failure is at the power supply module, then the input -48V LED (yellow) would continue to glow while the 12V LED (green) would be off. The two supplies can be plugged out or plugged in while the system is fully operational, without affecting the operational state. However, Telsima recommends that you perform the following steps while replacing power supplies: 1. Switch the ON/OFF toggle to OFF position to remove the supply. Note that this switch has a locking lever and cannot be switched ON/OFF inadvertently. To unlock the lever pull the lever. Then switch supply on or off. 2. Unscrew the two captive screws holding the supply in place.

Troubleshooting

7-1

Replacing the Power Supply

3. Using the captive screws as holding point, pull out the supply. 4. Insert the replacement unit in to the empty slot. Ensure that it is switched off. Guide the unit smoothly on the PCB guides within the enclosure. You may have to apply a little more pressure to ensure that the supply connector connects properly. 5. Tighten the captive screws. Ensure that the supply face plate is seated flush with the enclosure. 6. Connect the -48V supply cord to the new PSU unit. Observe that the -48V DC available LED glows. 7. Pull the PSU toggle switch lever to On position. Observe that the 12V supply LED glows. The glowing LED indicates that the supply is on and the line is working.
