Safety Information

When installing the LIM3–1 module, follow the safety guidelines provided in the

PacketStar

PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway Safety Guidelines, which accompanies

this product, to help prevent serious personal injury and damage to the module.

Please read all warnings and instructions supplied before beginning installation of

the module. In addition to the general safety information provided, you should

also refer to the PacketStar

PSAX 1000 Multiservice Media Gateway Installation Guide

for other important safety information and procedures.

Hardware Features Supported

The LIM3–1 module supports all hardware releases and features of the

PSAX 1000 system. For a list of N:1 traffic protection modules currently available,

refer to the PacketStar

PSAX Multiservice Media Gateways Product Information

Library CD-ROM that came with your system software.

Note: Within a given protection group, the same type of module must be

used for both the working modules and the group’s protection module.

Description of the Module

Functional Description

The LIM3–1 module provides three sets of BNC connectors for transmission and

reception of DS3, E3, and STS-1e traffic. It also provides loss of signal indicators

and relays to control traffic flow. The LIM3–1 module is only installed in one rear

panel slot (

LIM SLOT4) of the PSAX 1000 chassis on a one-for-one basis with the

PSAX protection modules installed in the front panel slots (

4 and 15). Relays on

the LIM3–1 module direct the traffic flow between the working module and the

protection module in normal operation and during a switchover.

The 1:1 Traffic Protection feature supports the configuration of one protection

pair for the PSAX 1000 system, with the group containing one working module,

one protection module of the same type for the group, and one LIM3–1 module

for both PSAX protection modules.

Under normal conditions, the working module in a protection group is in active

mode, exchanging traffic, and the protection module is in standby mode.

Hardware Specifications

The LIM3-1 module specifications are given in Table 1.

Pin Configurations

The LIM3–1 module includes three pairs of BNC connectors (TX/RX) for the

three ports used to interface the DS3/E3/STS-1e network with the protection

modules. Each connection has a 75-ohm unbalanced termination.

Note: The LIM3–1 module provides the physical connections for the N:1 traf-

fic protection modules; the protection modules do not have port con-

nections.

Module Placement

The LIM3–1 module is installed only in the rear panel slot labeled LIM Slot 4 of

the PSAX 1000 chassis. The associated PSAX protection modules are installed

only in the front panel slots labeled

4 (working module) and 15 (protection

module).

Installing the Module

Perform the following procedure to install the LIM3–1 module in the chassis.

Note: If the LIM blank faceplate is already installed in the rear-panel slot,

3 Hand tighten the two captive screws on the module, then tighen with a flat-

head screwdriver.

4 Connect the appropriate cables to the module.

Verifying the Initial Startup

Verify that the status indicators (LOS) on the module are not illuminated during

normal traffic flow. If they are illuminated, the received input signal is not

detected. The same status indicators also appear on the PSAX protection mod-

ules.

Configuring the Module

The LIM3–1 module does not have any configurable components. However, the

installed PSAX protection modules are configurable, see the appropriate PSAX

module user guide for details.

Troubleshooting the Installation

If you experience a problem with the LIM3–1 module, refer to the Lucent Technol-

ogies Product Warranty Registration Information, which accompanied your shipment,

for instructions on obtaining support in your area.

Removing the Module

Perform the following procedure to remove the LIM3–1 module from the

PSAX 1000 chassis.

Begin

Removing the LIM3-1

1 Verify that the network connections are not passing traffic and disconnect

the cables from the module ports.

2 Loosen the two captive screws holding the module in place with a flathead

screwdriver.

3 Pull the module out of the slot.

4 Put the module in its ESD packaging, and place the module in its original

shipping box.

5 If another module is not being immediately inserted into the empty slot,

insert a LIM blank faceplate into the slot to prevent EMI and maintain proper

air flow inside the chassis.

CAUTION:

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all laws

and regulations in your specific geographic region.
