DC systems can be switched off and on either at the PEM or at the building site s resident circuit breaker Use the building s DC circuit breaker only if all cables are clearly marked if the building s dedicated circuit breaker has an actual switch and not just a fuse and if controlling power at the building s circuit breaker actually provides an advantage over removing the cable guard Step 15 Observe that after you turn on the IGX node the cards run diagnostic self test The standby NPM red FAIL light flashes until self testing and configuration updates are completed The other NPM immediately becomes active but also performs self testing and configuration updating The process can take several minutes The remaining cards show FAIL for a few seconds then become active or standby The AC and DC Okay LEDs immediately turn on Alarms might be indicated Alarms might be present on trunks that have not been physically connected The alarms disappears when those trunks are downed Step 16 If an alarm exists for a T1 or an E1 line that is physically connected to the IGX node try reconnecting the line to make sure there is a good physical connection If the alarm condition continues a valid T1 or El problem might exist NPM Startup Diagnostic Test The IGX software contains a group of diagnostic tests that run on the system s hardware at power up The startup diagnostic either passes or fails the NPM s

Frame Relay class number to use when you add connections to a port To see the parameters that a class specifies use the dspfrels command To modify parameters in a class use the enffrels Step 11 Add connections to the port by using the addcon command Enter the slot number and specify a DLCI for each end of the connection Step 12 For an individual connection you can configure bandwidth parameters or enable ForeSight if purchased by using the cnffrcon Step 13 Optionally you can set the channel priority by using the Configure Channel Priority cnfchpri command Normally the system default priority is adequate Commands for T1 E1 Frame Relay To specify logical ports on a T1 or El interface use addfrport The addfrport command assigns a logical port number to a group of one or more DSOs timeslots The slot number and the lowest number in the user specified DSO timeslot group form the logical port number Use the logical port number to activate a port upfrport add connections addcon or display statistics dspportstats For example after you add logical port 14 1 6 6 DSOs timeslots with addfrport you activate or up this logical port by entering upfrport 14 1 Use dspfrport to display logical ports Deleting a Frame Relay Port Executing delfrport dissolves any groups of DSOs timeslots and unassigns all DSOs timeslots on the logical port To delete a logical port Step 1 Delete any connections on the port with delcon
