I've not been hands-on with a 3k yet, but believe they are similar in architecture to the 4k and 6k series. Stacking is done at the software level (see Ethernet/Mod Config/Stack Options). The TNT is the platform that has a physical connector for that. As for clocking, in the US at least, we take clock from the line on all PRI/CT1 from the switch (CO), and none on PtP connections. For the CRC errors, these can be caused by a number of factors, ranging from incorrect programming on the telco side (wrong framing or encoding), electrical interference (make sure the loop is clean). If you need, have your telco come out with test equipment and run a full load test on the loop to see if it's clean or not. If possible, have them use the same patch cord that you're using to run from the NI to your CSU. They can test from either end and sometimes from a test point in the middle of the loop, which gives them the ability to loop your CSU and put a full load on it. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 They told me to think out of the box, but I tripped over it, now I own my own company. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com ** [mailto:owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com]On Behalf Of Harpreet Singh ** Giani ** Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 9:38 PM ** To: Shirish Jain; ascend-users ** Subject: Re: (ASCEND) CRC on Max 3000 ** ** ** How do I stack the Max's ? ** ** Both the Max are connected to two E1-R2s each for incoming callers. ** ** The serial wan port on the first Max is connected to a leased line modem ** (The leased line modem has a V.35 interface.
