3.
!
CAUTION:
To minimize "hits" on in-service ports on
T1EXT
circuit packs
having a port added, it is recommended that a CIT be used
to manually switch (using the
switch-ls:
command) the
T1 to protection if the
T1EXT
circuit pack is removed or to
set channel options without removing the circuit pack.
!
CAUTION:
If the protection
T1EXT
circuit pack is not available for a
protection switch, removing a service
T1EXT
circuit pack will
interrupt service on all ports on that circuit pack. If a CIT is
available, use the
rtrv-state-eqpt:
command to check
the status of the protection switch.
!
CAUTION:
No service
LOW SPEED
slot locations should be left empty
in groups equipped with
MXRVO
and protection
T1EXT
circuit packs.
!
CAUTION:
When a
T1EXT
circuit pack is switched to protection,
removal of any other
T1EXT
circuit pack in the same
LOW
SPEED GROUP
will result in a loss of service to the
protected
T1EXT
and the removed
T1EXT
circuit pack.
Removal of any
177A
Retainer Card in the same
LOW
SPEED GROUP
will result in a degradation of service.
Condition T1EXT circuit pack or port for new T1 service being
added.
4. At each T1 terminating node, use the set-t1: command to set
the characteristics of the T1 port being established, if not already
performed.
5. At each T1 terminating node, make the appropriate cable
connection(s) to the T1 connection point(s) for the circuit(s) being
added.
6. Verify that no LEDs or alarms are activated. If any LEDs or alarms
are activated, refer to Trouble Clearing: IXL-001 and follow the
appropriate trouble-clearing procedure.
