Configuring a Ring Network
CT, the 9500 MXC craft terminal, is used to configure a network. The
configuration process is presented in the following order:
• Layout on page A-8
• Licensing on page A-8
• Protection on page A-9
• Plug-ins on page A-13
• Circuits on page A-15
• Networking on page A-19
• Date/Time on page A-20
Layout
The Configuration > System Summary screen shows the plug-ins installed. It
indicates the plug-in type detected for each slot against the plug-in type expected,
the configuration for which is held in the CompactFlash card in the NCC.
Before proceeding with a configuration, verify that the required plug-ins are
installed correctly.
For System Summary Screen operation, refer to System Summary, Volume IV,
Chapter 15.
Licensing
A license determines the capacity maximums for the RACs, of which there can
be up to three installed in an INU, or six in an INUe.
The DAC 155oM is not subject to licensing.
A license is held within the CompactFlash card, which is identified by a unique
license number.
The base (default) license allows installation of up to six RACs, each with a
maximum capacity of 40xE1, or 16xDS1. Beyond this level, licenses must be
purchased, which provide an up-to capacity on a per-RAC basis.
CT screens which provide features and functions specific to Ring operation, as
distinct from hot-standby or diversity protection, are Plug-ins, Protection, and
Circuits.
