Site Channel Configuration List dialog box
Send
Choose the Send button to send the T1/E1 site channel configuration
data to the respective interface module. This procedure must be
performed before the interface module will operate with the new
configuration. Only configured and configured-and-active (C and C/A
prefixes) configurations may be sent. All configuration data is sent to
the MOM Controller Board; the T1/E1 configuration is sent directly out
from there to the respective interface module Controller Board. A
"Send to Site Successful" message will be received to confirm that the
data was received by the interface module Controller Board. Bus Slot
configuration data is based on the channel assignment in the Set Site
Channel Disbursement field (one bus slot per channel assigned) and is
compared to the current configuration at the CEC/IMC Manager; if
different, it is sent to the MOM Controller Board (if not, no further
action is taken by the system) and when the MOM Controller Board
receives this new data it will send an acknowledgment message back to
the CEC/IMC Manager, which will then display the confirmation box:
"Do you want to activate TDM Bus Slots? OK - will cause all CTRL
boards to reset." Choose OK to activate TDM Bus Slots (resetting
Controller Boards) with the new Bus Slot configuration data, choose
Cancel to not activate TDM Bus Slots with the new Bus Slot
configuration data (keeping the previous configuration) and return to
the Site Channel Configuration List dialog box.
Close
Choose the Close button to exit the Site Channel Configuration List
dialog box and return to the CEC/IMC Manager main window. Any
"**" (unconfigured and unsaved) sites appearing in the
Configured/Active Sites list box will be removed and returned to the
Configurable Sites list box.
3.8.2 NIM Channel Configuration
Two or more IMC networks can be linked together for "distributed
multisite" communications using a Network Interface Module (NIM) at
each IMC switch. NIM links are communication gateways that support
a limited amount of communication traffic between network switches.
