Mapping Help
Clicking on the Mapping Help button displays the DS0 Mapping Help window (see figure 20). The DS0
Mapping Help page provides a convenient online tutorial on how to use the T-DAC’s web management pages
to define DS0 mappings (cross-connections). The tutorial includes definitions for all configurable parameters
on the DS0 Mapping web page. If you are using command line format to define DS0 connections, scroll down
to the Command Line Format heading.

Configuring static connections using the long form
To create a DS0 mapping (cross-connection) between external devices, you must define channels A and B.
External devices may include (but are not limited to) an NTU, a G.SHDSL CPE, or another blade installed in
the same CPCI chassis as the T-DAC.
Figure 24. Configure Static Connections section of DS0 Mapping Configuration window
The drop-down menus in the Configure Static Connections section of the DS0 Mapping Configuration window
(see figure 24) are organized into A and B channels. These channel names have been arbitrarily chosen and, as
all data will be bi-directional, do not signify the direction that data will travel. In displayLongForm mode, you
will use drop-down menus and text boxes to define the DS0 mapping parameters. The following parameters
define each channel the mapped connection (see figure 24).
• Device type (Dev Type)
• Device number (Dev Num) (see page 68)
• Device slots (Dev Slots) (see page 69)
Device Type A (daxDeviceTypeTogshDSL)
The Dev Type A menu defines the type of interface port the T-DAC will use for the A channel of this connection.
The user has the option of selecting a T1/E1 device or a DSL device
