System Status | System-wide | Cards
 
The Cards tab offers two primary functions:
   -   First, it provides an overview of the System expansion hardware (HW expansion), which allows you to view the layout of the communication system. Slot numbers and card numbers are displayed. To facilitate repairs, replacements, and upgrades, you can also display part code numbers for each card. Some users find it convenient to view this tab remotely to determine whether or not a new card is required before adding additional services to the communication system
   -   In addition, the overview provided via System expansion software (SW expansion) can be used to set up cards in the system software (Card Config.) before they are physically installed in the communication system.

10.1.1.1  
Area: System type 
Contains the possible system types.

10.1.1.2  
Area: Country version 
A country was selected at the time that the communication system was installed. That country is listed here. Different features are available with different country versions.
See also HiPath 3000 Service Manual .

10.1.1.3  
Area: Software version 
This is the release number of the operating system software. Note that this is not the system software number.

10.1.1.4  
Table: Card selection 
The Card Selection list box lists all of the cards that can be used with the system and which have not yet been plugged.
These cards can be plugged in or removed in the System expansion software view via the buttons > and < next to the card list. To do this, select the appropriate card in the card list, mark a slot in the box, and plug in the card using >. This feature is useful if you want to update the software before actually adding the physical card to the communication system.
Depending on the system type, certain cards can be plugged several times (e.g. SLC16).
The possible slots for the T1 and S2 cards differ to some extent between OfficeCom1 and OfficeCom2. When making an upgrade involving slots 6 and 8, the cards must be pulled, logically cleared and then completely reconfigured after being inserted into a different slot.  

Possible slots for T1 and S2 cards  
   -   6, 7, 8 and 9 for OfficeCom1
   -   7 and 9 for OfficeCom2
   -   7 and 9 HiPath 3500,3550
Two slots must be free for the TMS2+TMCAS (OfficePro/HiPath 3700,3750) and TS2+TMCAS (OfficeCom/HiPath 3500,3550) cards.  
   -   OfficePro/HiPath 3700,3750: The two slots should be located side-by-side; the TMCAS must be inserted to the left of the TMS2.
   -   OfficeCom/HiPath 3500,3550: Slot 10 must be kept free for adding the TMCAS card. The TS2 card can be inserted in slots 4 to 9.

10.1.1.5  
Area: Switchover to 

SW expansion, HW expansion  
You can switch between the System expansion hardware and System expansion software views via the corresponding SW expansion and HW expansion buttons.

System expansion hardware  
The System expansion hardware view shows the hardware actually installed in the communication system. This Box field displays the communication system's card assignments.

System expansion software  
The System expansion software overview allows you to view the system configuration based on the available SW. The Software will automatically detect every card physically in the communication system.
Additional cards can be added in the communication system (see also Table: Card selection).
The only exception is the TST1/TMST1 card, which must be manually assigned as either TST1/TMST1 analog or TST1/TMST1 digital. With this selection the communication system will then assign the card with either 24 B-channels or 23 B-channels and 1 D-channel.

Card Config. (Card Configuration)  
Card Config. can be only viewed in the System expansion software overview and when the corresponding boards are inserted. When you click on this button, further tabs are displayed via which you can configure the card.
The TMAMF card is not relevant for the USA.  


Card Config. tabs  
   -   Card Configuration | T1 Configuration
   -   Card Configuration | Card data

10.1.1.6  
Area: Card data 
When a particular card (Slot) is selected in the Box, corresponding data for this card is shown in Card data.

Slot:  
Slot number for the selected card in the communication system.  
Designation and code no.  
The card name or number. The designation may deviate slightly for 19" cards (e.g. SLU8R is displayed as SLU8).  
For the SBSCS, SBSCO, CBCP, CBCC and CBCPR control cards, the code number (including variant and output status) is read out of the communication system. For all other cards, the code number is provided by the HiPath 3000 Manager itself. In addition, the subcards (CMS, CMA, LIM, IMODC, MPPI) inserted for the control cards referred to are also displayed in the form of a drop-down list.
Card data  
The card data type is displayed for a TST1/TMST1 module. This can be either TMST1 analog or digital, depending on the selection made in the Select Card list. If the Layer 1 or 2 configuration was changed in the Card Configuration field, the standard selection must be changed to TST1/TMST1 analog or digital modified.  
There are 4 default card templates for T1: TMST1 Digital, TMST1 Analog, TMST1 Digital mod. and TMST1 Analog mod.
These templates are changed as follows:
Template TMST1 Digital and TMST11 Analog: timer T203 = 10s,
Template TMST1 Digital mod. and TMST1 Analog mod. timer T203 = 30s.
