Description of the Module
Functional Description
The 3-Port Channelized DS3/STS-1e Multiservice Protection module provides
N:1 traffic protection when used within a protection group. In addition to its N:1
Protection capabilities, this module provides ATM, circuit emulation, frame relay,
and HDLC Passthrough services with processing power to handle 3 x 672 DS0s. It
is software configurable to function in either DS3 or STS-1e modes, permitting
you to deliver channelized DS3 or STS-1e configurations while maintaining
inventory of a single module type. This dual-mode capability simplifies ordering,
inventory management, and manufacturability.
The module’s three channelized multiservice interfaces operate at Digital Signal
Level 3 (DS3), with a line rate of 44.736 Mbps, or at Synchronous Transport Sig-
nal Level 1e (STS-1e), with a line rate of 51.84 Mbps. Each port is capable of sup-
porting 28 channelized DS1 interfaces for multiservices. Typically, this module is
used to connect the Multiservice Media Gateway system to a TDM voice switch
or digital cross-connect device, such as a DACS, via three ports.

Module Placement
The 3-Port Channelized DS3/STS-1e Multiservice Protection module is installed
in either of two groups within the PSAX 4500 chassis: group 1, in slots 3–8 as a
working module and slot 15 as a protection module, or group 2, in slots 9–12 as a
working module and slot 13 as a protection module. Each group must contain a
minimum of one working module and one protection module. Each working
module must be physically connected at the midplane to a LIM3–4 module at a
corresponding slot in the rear of the chassis. The N:1 Protection feature of this
module only functions in this configuration. See the PSAX 4500 3-Port Line Inter-
face Module Description and Specifications document for LIM3–4 module installation
instructions.
Installing the Module
Read the PacketStar®PSAX Safety Guidelines, which accompanies this product,
before proceeding.
WARNING:
!
Be sure to use the ejector handles during installation and removal of a PSAX
module.
WARNING:
!
Make sure the locking tab at the bottom of the module (looking at module in
a vertical position) is UP before you insert it into the chassis.
WARNING:
!
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not forcefully.
Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in the chas-
sis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis. Install or
remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing the PSAX sys-
tem from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and allows the PSAX
system time to reinitialize and display the accurate configuration of the
module that is inserted.

Begin
Installing an I/O Modue
1Remove the module from its box and ESD packaging only when you are
ready to install it. Be sure to save the box and the ESD packaging to ship the
module in the future if needed.
2Open the ejector handle at the top of the module faceplate, and slide the
module into an available slot. Be sure to position the module with the ejector
handle near the top edge of the chassis opening.
3Press the ejector handle until it snaps firmly against the faceplate, and verify
that the module is secure in its slot.
4Insert a flathead screwdriver into the screwdriver slot of the locking tab, and
slide the locking tab down into the locking tab slot (see Figure 2).
5Connect the module to a LIM3–4 module at the chassis midplane. (Refer to
the PSAX 4500 3-Port Line Interface Module Description and Specifications docu-
ment for installation instructions.)
6Connect the appropriate cabling to the LIM3–4 module.
7For new installations, run the cabling through a cable management system
that provides the necessary connector/cable strain relief to prevent damage
to the module connectors.
WARNING:
!
To prevent any damage to the module connectors, do not allow cables to
hang unaided from the connectors. Use standard cable installation proce-
dures to run and secure the network cables through an appropriate cable
management system before connecting the cables to the module.

Verifying the Initial Startup
After you insert the 3-Port Channelized DS3/STS-1e Multiservice Protection
module into the chassis, observe the LED status indicators as described in Table 3.
If the status indicators do not appear to function properly, refer to “Troubleshoot-
ing the Installation” on page 8.

Removing the Module
Read the PacketStar®PSAX Safety Guidelines, which accompanies this product,
before proceeding.
WARNING:
!
Be sure to use the ejector handles during installation and removal of a PSAX
module.
1Insert a flathead screwdriver into the screwdriver slot of the locking tab, and
slide the locking tab up and out of the locking tab slot (see Figure 3).
2Pull backward on the ejector handle until the module is released from the
chassis backplane (or midplane).
3Slide the module out of the chassis.
4Put the module in its ESD packaging, and place the module in its original
shipping box.
5If another module is not being immediately inserted into the empty slot,
insert a blank faceplate module into the slot to prevent EMI and maintain
proper air flow inside the chassis.
6Remove the LIM3–4 module if the 3-Port Channelized DS3/STS-1e Multiser-
vice Protection module is not being replaced.(Refer to the PSAX 4500 3-Port
Line Interface Module Description and Specifications document for removal
instructions.)
