Read First
Follow these steps for a successful installation of your DBM.
1. If required, install new firmware. The
3600 Series DBM Option Installation
Instructions
, Document No. 3610-A2-GZ52, explains how to determine whether it is
required.
2. Verify the switch settings on the DSU.
3. Install the DBM according to the
Installation Instructions.
4. If you installed new firmware, use the Confg menu from the front panel to load the
factory default settings. The DSU will not function properly unless the factory
default settings are reloaded.
5. Enter and save directories, phone numbers, and SPIDs you will use. Make and
save any other configuration changes required for your network.
6. Power up the DSU and test the DBM.

2
Powering Up the DBM
When you apply power to the DSU, the DSU performs a power-up routine and:
Determines what hardware options are installed, including a DBM.
Automatically runs a Device Test (Devic) on the DSU and each installed hardware
option.
Displays the following messages on the Diagnostic Control Panel (DCP):
F1
DSU DBM
Pass Pass
F2 F3
The power-up routine can be:
Initiated using the Reset selection in the Control branch.
Disabled with the PowerOnTst General configuration option.
The front panel’s:
Red Alarm LED is lit if the DBM is a digital DBM and not connected to the network.
LCD displays health and status information with DBM F:No Signal to indicate a
facility alarm.
Continue if you receive successful messages. If a Fail message appears or a hardware
option does not appear:
Refer to your User’s Guide for power-up messages and basic procedures for
changing configuration options and troubleshooting.
Refer to your DBM Supplement for DBM troubleshooting and messages.
NOTE:
For a 4-wire Switched 56 DBM, if power is applied and a Device Test run while a
network loopback is in progress, the test is aborted and the LCD displays Abrt.
Rerun the Device Test.

Network Verification Testing
Perform verification testing after any installation. Refer to the Network Verification
Testing section of the User’s Guide for more information.
After confirming the network connection for a DSU equipped with a DBM:
Procedure
1. Use the →Dial command to establish a dialed call to the remote unit in order to:
— Enter remote phone numbers in dial backup directory for both ends.
— Verify the DBM can establish a call.
The DBM will be in Standby mode.
2. Verify that Auto Answer (AutoAnswer) is enabled and that the other end answers.
3. Use the →Dial command to switch the data to the DBM circuit by entering Dial
Backup mode. Ensure that both DSUs have been configured correctly.
4. Perform a Digital Test (DT) on both the DBM and the circuit from the Test branch.
After testing the network:
1. Drop the backup (DrBU).
2. To automatically initiate a call if there is a DDS network failure, enable Auto Backup
(AutoBckup) and the Backup Directory numbers.
3. Enable V.13 Signaling (V.13 Signl) for switched-carrier operation emulation. This
applies to a multipoint circuit.
Top-Level Menu

The Backup (Bckup) branch controls operation of the dial backup feature for DBMs.
The Bckup selection is used to control DBM dialing from the front panel. References to
a DBM also apply to a DBM-D, DBM-I, DBM-S, or DBM-V where the Primary Core
configuration option is set to Yes and the DSU is disabled.

Test Branch
The Test branch provides extensive testing capabilities for the DSU, DDS circuit, DBM,
and backup circuit. When the tributary receives a test request from the control, any
locally initiated test in progress on that core is aborted. The Abort selection allows you
to abort a test that is running. The DSU is not allowed to run any other test until the test
in progress is aborted or completed.
