11.1.1	Cards

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.

11.1.1.1

Area: System type

Contains the possible system types.

11.1.1.2

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 .

11.1.1.3

Area: Software version

This is the release number of the operating system software. Note that this is not the system software number.

11.1.1.4

Card selection table

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).

Slot restriction for HiPath 3500 and HiPath 3550:

Two slots must be free for the TS2 and TMCAS (HiPath 3500 and HiPath 3550) boards.

HiPath 3500 and HiPath 3550: Slot 10 must be free for holding the TMCAS board, the TS2 board may be inserted in any of the slots 4 to 9.

11.1.1.5

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 Card selection table).

The only exception is the TST1 card, which must be manually assigned as either TST1 analog or TST1 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.

11.1.1.6

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 submodules (CMS, CMA, LIM, IMODC, MPPI) inserted for the control cards referred to are also displayed in the form of a drop-down list.

Template

For several boards, (e. g. DIUT2 T1 S2, DIUT2 T1 Analog, DIUT2 T1, DIUN2, DIU2U, DIU2U Analog, IVMN8, IVMNL), which are selected in the Card selection list, settings can be changed in the Template drop-down list. These settings can be changed via the Card Config. button.
