someone please correct me if i m wrong, but if you are using two of Max 3000 series, shouldnt you be connecting them (as in stacking them) that way they will behave as part of one single unit, gives you redundancy and better fault tolerance too. You can use MP+ to multilink channels across the units on ur ETSI(E1s). And you will not need to connect them via any switch :) hth, cheeers Shirish ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harpreet Singh Giani" <harpreet at agni.org> To: "ascend-users" <ascend-users at bungi.com> Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 3:46 AM Subject: (ASCEND) CRC on Max 3000 > Couple of questions.... be obliged if anyone could answer them for me... > > I am running two Max 3000s here.
