Safety Warnings and Information

PacketStar

DSP2x Voice Server Modules User Guide, Issue 1 Release 8.0.0

!

CAUTION:

Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your

warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized

by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such

equipment.

!

CAUTION:

When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not force-

fully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in

the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.

Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing

the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and

allows the PSAX system to reinitialize and display the accurate configu-

ration of the module that is inserted.

!

CAUTION:

Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules

installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to

any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis

with removable modules installed will void your warranty. Only Lucent-

authorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module

installed.

Safety Warnings and Information

When installing and operating the PacketStar

®

PSAX Multiservice Media

Gateway, follow the safety guidelines provided below to help prevent serious

personal injury and damage to the equipment. Please read all warnings and

instructions supplied before beginning installation or configuration of the

equipment. In addition to the general safety information provided below,

you should also refer to the user and installation guides for other important

safety information and procedures.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

The room where the PSAX system is located must have built-in precautions

to provide protection from electrostatic discharge damage to electronic com-

ponents. The following sections provide details on these necessary precau-

tions.

Grounding Wrist Straps

Attach at least one grounding wrist strap to a common ground for each chas-

sis/electronic rack to be handled. Follow these guidelines for wrist straps:

• Make sure the wrist straps or wrist strap cords have built-in 1-megohm

(minimum) resistance.

255-700-251 v

PacketStar

®

DSP2x Voice Server Modules User Guide, Issue 1 Release 8.0.0

Safety Warnings and Information

• Make sure the wrist straps and wrist strap cords are UL listed.

• Ensure the wrist strap cord is long enough so it can be worn while working

either at the front or the back of the rack.

• Always discharge any static charge by touching your wrist strap before you

touch the PSAX chassis.

Floor Covering

Be sure the room has an antistatic floor covering (conductive mat, tiles, or

carpeting) to minimize static charge buildup as you walk across the room.

Follow these guidelines for installing and maintaining proper floor coverings:

• Using foot grounding straps (attached to the heels of your shoes) is recom-

mended, even if you are walking in rooms with antistatic floor covering.

These straps provide additional protection against electrostatic discharge.

The straps should have built-in 1-megohm (minimum) resistance.

• Wool carpet is not an acceptable floor covering.

• Other types of carpet must be sprayed daily with a topical antistatic chemi-

cal before you perform any work in the room. Paying constant attention to

carpet maintenance is time-consuming but required, if used.

Temperature and Humidity

Establishing the proper temperature and humidity in the room where the

PSAX system is located helps control many static discharge problems. Main-

taining proper room climate is especially important when heat is turned on

during the cold weather. To avoid damage to the PSAX system, do not allow

the humidity to increase to the level where water droplets appear on sur-

faces.

Clothing

When working with the PSAX system, avoid wearing clothing made from

wool or synthetic materials. Try to minimize contact between clothing and

electronic components.

Handling Chassis, Modules, and Components

Follow these guidelines for proper handling of the PSAX hardware to mini-

mize electrostatic discharge damage:

• Do not remove the chassis, modules, and other items from their protective

packaging until you are ready to install them.

• When installing modules and components, use a grounding wrist strap

connected to a common electrical ground to prevent electrostatic discharge

damage. (A common electrical ground is a complete circuit between a per-

son or an electrical/electronic device and the earth.)

• Store components in electrostatic-discharge-protective bags when they are

not in use.

PSAX 2300 system provides network access for time-division multiplex

voice, frame relay, I0/100 Base-T Ethernet, and ATM data applications.

Supporting 15 slots for I/O and server modules, a 1.9 Gbps ATM cell bus

architecture, carrier-class reliability, full redundancy, provisions for OC-3,

OC-3c/STM-1, and OC-12c/STM-4c interfaces, N x T1/E1 module protection

switching, and a full range of interfaces such as DS0A, DS1/E1, DS3/E3,

10/100Base-T Ethernet, and serial, the PSAX 2300 system solves many

demanding and diverse network design challenges with ease.

PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway

The PacketStar PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway provides carrier-class

reliability, providing up to 4.2 Gbps of switching capacity, the highest in the

PacketStar family. The system offers an unmatched range of service capabili-

ties, end-to-end traffic prioritization, “any-service, any-channel” flexibility,

and breakthrough voice technology. Ideal for the central office or a large

enterprise multiservice media gateway, the PSAX 4500 system provides

highly reliable network access for time-division multiplex voice, frame relay,

10/100Base-T Ethernet, and ATM data applications.

DSP2x Voice Server Modules User Guide, Issue 1 Release 8.0.0

The high-performance midplane design supports 15 interface slots. In four

segments, the unique PSAX 4500 midplane allows each segment to be scaled

independently to provide nonblocking, redundant chassis bandwidths

beyond 4.2 Gbps. Module protection for two groups of four or six multiport

DS3, STS-1e, or E3 modules is provided via an N:1 protection scheme using

rear access line interface modules. The protection module can fill in so that

on the failure of any one of the modules in a group, traffic is maintained.

Using the latest voice-compression technology, the DSP2x Voice Server mod-

ules deliver service providers eight times the capacity of traditional time divi-

sion multiplex circuits while maintaining toll quality and reducing costs by

nearly 30 percent per channel. A single PSAX 4500 system at the edge of the

carrier network can transition traffic from a large number of network cus-

tomers over high-speed DS1/E1 IMA, DS3/E3, OC-3, OC-3c/STM-1c, and

OC-12c/STM-4c trunks into the ATM core, managing the whole quickly and

efficiently, down to the individual permanent virtual circuit.
