TR114™ PCI Digital Hardware Guide

1. In rare cases you may have to put two or more NICs on a single MVIP bus Be aware that each resource board such as TR114 boards connected to that MVIP must be configured to transfer data on all channels through only one NIC This appendix describes some of the issues involved and how to configure the TR114 I8V T1 so that it functions properly Setting MVIP Clock Master MASTR The MASTR switch switch 3 of SW3 controls whether the TR114 I8V T1 being configured is the MVIP clock master The clock master generates clocking signals to the MVIP bus Only one NIC can be set to be the clock master MASTR Result UP The TR114 I8V T1 will generate the clocking signals to the MVIP bus DOWN The TR114 I8V T1 will not generate the clocking signals to the MVIP bus Setting MVIP Clock Synchronization Switch 4 SEC8K of SW3 is called the clock synchronization switch It can have one of two functions depending on the setting of the MVIP clock master switch If the TR114 I8V T1 being configured is designated as MVIP clock master it will be the NIC that synchronizes the MVIP clocks using a T1 framing signal It can use its own clock sync UP or another NIC s clock sync DOWN T1 framing signal D 1 If the TR114 I8V T1 is not the MVIP clock master its T1 framing signal the Sec 8K signal is output clock sync DOWN or is not output clock sync UP to the MVIP bus which may or may not use it to synchronize the

The TR114 P8V T1 is now connected to T1 telephone service Using a Channel Service Unit The distance between the originating T1 circuit ask your telephone representative for this information and its termination point the T1 connector on the TR114 P8V T1 determines whether you must connect the T1 connector to a CSU Channel Service Unit or directly to a T1 wall jack If the T1 circuit is fewer than 500 feet from the TR114 P8V T1 you do not need to connect the T1 connector to a CSU If the distance from the TR114 P8V T1 to the T1 circuit exceeds 500 feet you must connect the T1 connector to a CSU and the CSU to the T1 wall jack CSUs provide these important features e Amplify the T1 signal so both ends of the connection detect the signal correctly e You may need to configure the CSU to boost or attenuate the signal until both ends can detect the signal correctly e Provide constant circuit to the telephone company when a power down occurs Since the T1 line continues to receive signal during a power down though the T1 line cannot communicate without the PC providing constant current prevents the telephone company from receiving a T1 line failure alarm You must provide battery backup to the CSU e Provide access to bantam jacks for diagnostic testing and problem solving 3 2 TR114 PCI Digital Hardware Guide e Provide a loop back mechanism to the telephone company to test and ensure that signals on the T1 line to
