Note: 1 Incase of Bootup failure BOOT FAIL LED will glow RED. BOOT FAIL LED will
glow if system is unprogrammed or in case of illegal settings. The user should
configure system default settings to ensure that settings are valid.
2 LOCAL ON LED glows when system is in LOCAL LMS mode i.e. it is set to be
configured locally through DB9F (FRONT PANEL) OR DB9F (REAR PANEL) OR
DB15 REAR for LAN.
ONLY ONE OF THESE MAYBE CONNECTED FOR USE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
3 LOCAL ON LED always glows in case of MASTER system regardless of LOCAL
ON SWITCH POSITION. This is the case since MASTER SYSTEM is always in LMS
mode and it only accepts settings from its SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PORT.

4 Functions of LOCAL ON Switch and LED for Slave Systems:


A.

LOCAL ON LED will glow when SWITCH is in ON position indicating that


slave is in LMS mode (i.e. it is set to be accessed through its LOCAL SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION PORT rather than from the MASTER using INBAND
signaling.

B.

LOCAL ON LED will NOT GLOW (i.e. it shall remain OFF), when the switch is
in OFF position indicating that slave is now ready to be accessed remotely by
the MASTER using Inband signaling. In this mode, the slave, CANNOT be
accessed locally via SYSTEM CONFIGURATION PORT of slave system.

To configure the Control Card:


First configure the slot in which 10 BaseT LAN Card is inserted using following command from
VCL-MX, Version 3 system prompt.
VCL-MX-CCA[01]> config_ifX=10BaseT
Where X = 1, 2, 3, 4 (The interface/slot number) for VCL-MX Version 3
Next, map the slots to the E1 ports A or B as per the bandwidth required using following
command.
VCL-MX-CCA[01]> map_ifX_ZPP-QQ
Where Z is the selected E1 port, i.e. E1 port A or E1 port B of the multiplexer.
Where PP, QQ = 01, 02, 03, ........31 (The number of time-slots that are being
assigned to the 10BaseT LAN Bridge Card)
The value of PP is always equal to or less than QQ
Where X = 1, 2, 3, 4 (The interface/slot number) for VCL-MX, Version 3
To configure the Interface Card 10BaseT LAN Bridge Card:
First, change the system prompt to interface card prompt using the following command
VCL-MX-CCA[01]> #sel=ifX
Where X = 1, 2, 3, 4 (The interface/slot number) for VCL-MX, Version 3
Next, select the value of n using the following command.
VCL-MX-CCA[01]-IFX>n=y
Where y = 01, 02, 03, 04.........30 (The number of time-slots that are being
assigned to the 10BaseT LAN Bridge Card)
Important Note : The value of n should always be one less than the number of time-slots
which are assigned to the 10BaseT LAN Bridge Card, if the selected time-slots (PP-QQ) also
include the time-slot 16/the signaling time-slot.
In all other cases the value of n should always be equal to the number of time-slots (PP-QQ)
which are assigned to the 10BaseT LAN Bridge Card.

VCL-MX, Version 3, E1 Drop Insert Add-Drop Multiplexer

Configuring Master Terminal

Step 1
Configuring The Main Control Card (CC1) For Master Terminal (System)
Type following settings statements from the SYSTEM PROMPT:
1.

set_def = master[01] **
Note: After default settings are done, the following statement are mandatory for remote
access and should not be changed:
clk_internal
(change this to clk-looptimed ONLY if MASTER is required to derive clock from LINK-A
which is connected to a higher order mux).
crc4_en

2.

The following statement may be used to disable alarms in case Link-A is unused:
disable-alarms-a

3.

Configure all nX64Kbps data interface slots 1 to 4 as required with the following
Statement:
config_ifN = {if option} 'fe1', 'v35', 'v36', 'x21', 'eia530', 'unqp

** The following SYSTEM PROMPT should be observed after the default settings statement.
VCL-MX-CCB[01]>

Step 3
System Mapping
PART A (Mapping n*64 INTERFACE IFN to LINK-A or LINK-B)
1.0

Type the following statement from PROMPT:


map_ifN*_axx-yy (for LINK-A)
map_ifN*_bxx-yy (for LINK-B)

xx, yy are 2-digit numbers from 01, 02, upto 31 (except 16). xx is the starting time slot and yy
is the ending time-slot (both inclusive), thus mapping a range of LINK-A time slot to the
Interface IFN.
Note 1: * Both xx & yy may be in range 01 thru 31.
*N = may be selected by the user to either 1 thru 4 depending on the IF Card which is to be
mapped.
In case a bandwidth of a 64Kbps is required, xx and yy should have the same slot numbers.
Eg. Map_ifN_a01-01
Note 2: In case slot 16 falls in between selected range.
Eg. map_ifN_a01-21
Then slot 01, 02, ..... 15, 17, .... 21 shall be mapped and slot 16 shall be ignored. Therefore
effective bandwidth shall be 20 X 64Kbps.

To set the Immediate start, you have to type the following command in the Hyperterminal:
prompt> signalling=imm_start
To set the Custom signaling in VCL-MX
In the custom signaling option, you can select the idle and seizure conditions as per your
requirement. You can select the ABCD bits of signaling for idle condition and seizure condition.
To set the custom signaling, you have to type the following command in the Hyperterminal:
prompt> signalling=custom
The command to set the ABCD bits of idle condition is as following:
prompt> custom_idle=yyyy
Where y=0 or 1
The command to set the ABCD bits of seizure condition is as following:
prompt> custom_seizure=yyyy
Where y=0 or 1
Note: It is important that the same ABCD signaling bits are set in all inter-connected E1

To set the unused ABCD bits in custom signaling


To disable/ignore any of the signaling bits in ABCD signaling bits, you can configure those bits
as unused.
Example: If you want to use A, B bits of signaling and want to ignore C, D bits of ABCD
signaling.
The idle conditions are 11 and seizure conditions are 00.
You are required to follow the following steps.
Step 1.

Type the following command to set the custom signaling.


prompt> signaling=custom

Step 2.

Type the following command to select the A, B bits 11 for idle condition.
prompt> custom_idle=11xx

Step 3.

Type the following command to select the A, B bits 00 for seizure condition.
prompt> custom_seizure=00xx

Step 4.

Type the following command to configure the signaling bits for the un-equipped
slots.
prompt> custom_unused=11xx
This setting shall return the C, D bits of the un-equipped slots as 11xx.

Step 5.

Type the following command to query the idle condition, which you have already
configured in VCL-MX.
prompt> signaling?
This shows the ABCD signaling bits that have been set in that Multiplexer.
