This release note - replaces Trouble Shooting Manual

Current Version of T1 Controller (91-360381-X) Software Release: V3.8/V10

Features in latest Software Releases:

NMS version 4.1: The Network Management System (NMS) software – GUI software used to manage

360-80 channel banks – will operate on 64-bit Windows-based operating systems. NMS version 4.1 is also

compatible with 32-bit Windows-based operating systems.

Previously, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the 11

circuit of a 12-channel E&M card would worsen

(decrease) when the 12th circuit was not mapped to any T1 timeslots. When the 12th circuit was mapped

to a T1 timeslot, the SNR on the 11th circuit improves. This has been fixed with an update to the FPGA on

the E&M card.

Using the craft/serial interface, usernames up to 10 characters long can be created and deleted. Previously

usernames that were 10 characters long could be created, but could not be deleted. When deleting a

username, only 9 characters were allowed.

T1 Controller software update can be done by following the update procedure under the router section of

this CD.

Operational Notes for the 360-80 System:

1. T1 Controller (3603) - T1 loopbacks -

 In ESF (when selecting “payload” for type, the system automatically changes the location to

"far", it then won't allow you to change it to "near" even if you select “line” for type. The

work around is to exit the T1 loopback menu and then re-enter it and the option of “near” for

type “line” is available.)

 In SF (The far end line loopback will work the first time. But if you choose “payload” the 2

time, it will revert back to “line” and still show “far” for location, however the loopback will

always occur at the near end. The work around is to manually re-choose the “far” option again

even though it already still displays “far” or exit the T1 loopback menu and re-enter it.)

2. T1 Controller (3603) / Secondary T1 (3608) - Cabling - The RJ-45 cable that goes from the T1

primary (RT1) to the secondary unit RJ-45 (P2) needs to be a crossover cable for bypass function

to work properly. Meaning pin 1 to 5, 2 to 4, 4 to 2, and 5 to 1. It is possible to set up a D/I

application with no alarms but have alarms when the system goes into bypass. Without the
