Zhone Z-plex10 Channel bank

I really hate to admit this but..... I can?t figure this thing out to save my life.
I simply need this to be a bridge from one network to another with 3 channels of voice.
I have never seen a more cryptic set of commands in my life.
Does anyone have an experience with on of there?
 
sorry dude. Wish I knew that piece of gear.

It should be as straight forward as picking your channel assignments and associating them with the DTE ports.
 
Thats what I thought too. Check the manual here
I have never seen anything as convoluted as the instruction in this manual.
If you cn desifer this I will kiss you feet.
 
Can you go into great detail of what is attached to it and the signalling? I may be able to help.

To me "bridge" two networks means a network bridge like a switch or router.
 
GAAAAA!

Just checked skimmed thru the manual.

good luck dude. That's low level setting of registers there. Hardly user friendly.

I'd suggest writing it all down, your channel assignments and what not and picking out what you need like:

framing, coding, etc - all your T1 parameters.

actually it doesn't look that bad. now that I check it out. So a little more detail on what you're trying to do would help.
 
I have your standard T1 between 2 towns connecting 2 networks. The T1 is only for data between the 2 offices. There is another T1 at one location for Internet access. It is up and working fine. The connection between the 2 offices now is being handled by a couple of WebRanger IIs. The reason for the Channel banks is to pull 3 channels out of the T1 for voice. So I simply need the new CBs to do bridging over the T1, replacing the WebRangers, with 3 channels dropped out for voice. Both locations have the same IP pool 192.168.208.0.
So basically the T1 provides a long cat5 cable to extend the network.

If you need more info let me know. I can open them up for you if you want to get into them. Right now they are on top of each other, WAN1s connected via a crossover and accessible via telnet.
 
It doesn't look all that bad. You might have done better with a pair of Adtran 612s though. Much better user interface, probably cheaper too. You could probably have used a couple of add/drop CSU/DSUs instead, depending on what you're doing with the three voice ports.

You (probably) don't want to enable FDL, which is like an "order wire" / kinda out-of-band management scheme. Doing so would kill IP management (on the WAN2(?) interface).

You mention that you want to peel off three channels: what kind of device is terminating the three channels? Are you going to feed some POTs phones directly with the FXS ports, or feed them as a DSX1 (fractional) to some flavor of PBX / Key System?

The channel map appears to be pretty straight-forward ... just make sure you peel the same three channels on each side. It says four channels per hex digit ... a hex digit is four bits (counts from 0 to 15 ("f")).

I bet you'll be an old pro with these things after a couple hours.....


Good Luck

Scott
