Safety GuidelinesAlways use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardvoltages are present:

• Always use caution and common sense.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover remove

• Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

• Use caution when installing telephone lines. Never install telephone wiring during elecstorm. Never install telephone jacks in a wet location unless the jack is designed for thlocation.

• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at the network interface.

Antistatic PrecautionsElectrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the buildup of static electricity. When a person wbody contains a static buildup touches a computer component, that component can fail.

This unit may contain static-sensitive components easily damaged by ESD. Always follow phandling and grounding techniques compliant with ESD precautionary standards. Keep all electronic parts and cards in antistatic packaging prior to intstallation, during transport, or whein use. Use antistatic floorpads and workbench pads whenever possible.

When handling components or setting switch options, always use an antistatic wrist strap conto a grounded equipment frame or chassis. If a wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the equipment. Never use a conductive tool, like a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.

Windows NT Systems

Used with SCM

For one- or two-shelf systems (Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-4, respectively):

1. Load the "General DataComm 5090" modem given into "Add Modem" from Windows NTFollow the prompts and map to all of the modem ports.

2. If your system supports it, modify the speed to 115.2 or 230.

3. Finish the RAS system configuration IP, IPX, User accounts, Security, etc.

4. Using the TEAM application or Telnet, configure the Network options of the 5090 and th5001 or highway configuration time slots, timing, framing, etc. If the system is a PRI/T1 service, sonfigure the 24th DSO for Highway one to out of service.

5. Use Windows Hyperterm 8/n/1 at 19200 to configure the PRI card. Refer to the PRI cardmanual for the AT command set. You may also use the ATSS System Status command following the Modem command to determine which modems are in service.

Example A:For 5ESS service and a one-highway system, type:

AT5ESSDSL1DHW1SHW2&W

Example B:For 5ESS service and a two-highway system, type:

AT5ESSDSL2DHW1SHW2&W

Used without SCM and T1 Service is Robbed Bit Signalling

For one- or two-shelf systems:

1. Place the 5090 modems in slots 2-13 of the Spectracom shelf(ves, if two).

2. Place the 5001 card in slot 16. The 5090 modem will automatically determine their HighTime slot as shown in Figure 2-3:

Slot 2 Modem A = DS0 1, Highway one

Slot 2 Modem B = DS0 2, Highway one

. . . .


Note For a dual T1 system (two shelves), you will need the highway cables that go between shelves GDC Part #029H509-001 and 029H510-001. Make sure the berg jumper J50 in the rear of each SpectraComm shelf is selected as follows:0 for Shelf 1, 1 for Shelf 2.

Note For a dual T1 system (two shelves), do not use the highway cables between the shelves. Treat the selves as two independent systems Figure 2-1. Make sure the berg jumper J50 in the rear of each SpectraComm shelf is selected for 0.
