8.4.3 SETTING CHANNEL MODULE TIME SLOTS
1. In each direction of transmission, always set up the two channel modules at either end of a new
channel to the same time slot value(s). That is, on a channel between Locations 1 and 2, the
transmit time slot at Location 1 must be the same as the receive time slot at Location 2, and the
receive time slot at Location 1 must be the same as the transmit time slot at Location 2.
2. Where possible, use the same time slot in both directions of transmission. This is not a
requirement, but should reduce the chance of making record keeping errors.
3. Always select time slots that are not occupied by other channels in any E1 facility traversed by
the new channel. In drop/insert systems with four or more locations, be careful not to ignore
time slots occupied by channels between intermediate drop/insert multiplexers.
8.4.4 CHANNEL MODULE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. At Location 1, install and wire the Module Adapter provided with the channel module.
2. Install the channel module at Location 1.
If an alarm or alert indicator turns on, remove the channel module immediately.
3. If available, activate the local (equipment) loopback on the channel module itself and perform
local loopback tests on this module (See the individual channel module manual for details).
4. Before leaving Location 1, be sure to remove the channel loopback. Also make sure that no
alarms or alert indicators are on.
5. At Location 2, install and wire the Module Adapter provided with the second channel module.
6. If available, activate the local (equipment) loopback on the channel module itself and perform
local loopback tests on this module (See the individual channel module manual for details).
7. Remove the channel loopback.
8. If desired, perform end-to-end tests or single-ended (far-end loopback) tests with the other site.
8. Make sure no alarm or alert indicators are on.
