2 Issue 2, August 2001 61200373L1-5BThe TA 850 BCU plugs directly into the controller slotin the common module area of the TA 850 chassis. Toinsert, hold the unit by the faceplate while supportingthe bottom side. Align the card edges to the guidegrooves for the designated slot. Insert into the chassisuntil the edge connector seats firmly into the backplane.Lock the unit in place by pushing in on the locking le-ver.3. OPTIONSThe TA 850 BCU can be provisioned from either an 8-po-sition Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch (S1) mounted onthe PCB, or through screen menus accessed via the face-plate craft interface port. Basic T1 provisioning, clocksource, and CSU loopback options are found on the DIPswitch. Refer to Table 3 on page 4 for DIP switch S1 pro-visioning information. Additional and more in-depthprovisioning options for the BCU as well as access mod-ules are available through the craft ADMIN interface.DIP switch S1 must be provisioned while the BCU iswithdrawn from the chassis. Once installed, any soft-ware provisioning made will override the DIP switchsettings. If the unit is withdrawn and reinserted (powercycled), the software options remain in effect. If a DIPswitch setting is changed while withdrawn, the newDIP switch setting takes effect. If none of the DIP switchsettings were changed, the unit will be provisioned forthe last software settings.Electronic ProvisioningThe ADMIN interface on the TA 850 BCU is used tochange factory selected options and obtain access mod-ule status through menu screens. To access the menuscreens, connect a VT 100 terminal or computer runninga terminal emulation program to the craft interface portusing a standard male-to-male RS-232 DB-9 cable. Craftport settings are as follows:• 9600 Baud• No parity• 8 Data bits• 1 Stop bitWindows Hyperterminal. Windows Hyperterminalcan be used as a VT 100 terminal emulation program.Open Hyperterminal by selecting PROGRAMS / AC-CESSORIES / HYPERTERMINAL. Refer to the Helpsection of Hyperterminal for additional questions.Password. When connected, enter the password. Thefactory default is PASSWORD in all capital letters. Thepassword can be changed to a user selected passwordonce connected.Menu Navigation. To traverse through the menus, se-lect the desired entry and press Enter. To work back-wards in the menu, press the Esc (escape) key.Time Slot Assignment (Plug and Play Environ-ment). The TA 850 can support a plug and play envi-ronment for slots 1-6 of the TA 850 bank for the variousaccess modules (i.e., FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.). Each card that is plugged in toslots 1-6 will consecutively take 4 Time Slots automati-cally when installed in the TA 850 bank, depending onthe card that is plugged into the shelf.Time Slot Assignment - Software Assignment(Non-Plug and Play Environment). Slots 1-6 of the TA850 Bank are for the various access modules supportedby the the TA 850 (i.e., FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.). The T1 interface on the TA 850BCU supports 24 Time Slot Assignment which can beallocated to the access modules, to the DSX-1, or to theNx64 module. The TA 850 BCU can override the plugand play assignments through the software menus viathe ADMIN port on the TA 850 BCU.CAUTIONThis product is intended for installation in Re-stricted Access Locations only and is intended to beinstalled in equipment with a Type "B" or "E" in-stallation code.CAUTIONThe BCU retains provisioning setup when re-moved from the chassis. If inserted into anotherchassis, the provisioning setup is invoked on thatchassis' access modules.NOTETo ensure proper display background in WindowsHyperterminal, select VT 100 terminal emulationunder SETTINGS.Slot Time SlotAvailableAccess Module1 1-4 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.2 5-8 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.3 9-12 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.4 13-16 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.5 17-20 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.6 21-24 FXS, FXO, OCU DP, DSO DP,UBRITE, E&M, etc.A/B(specialslot)1-24 Nx56/64BCU 1-24 BCU or BCU w/DSX-1
