Capacity upgrade
The number of maximum DS1/E1 lines can be changed to any number
between 1 and 16 to meet expanding system needs. DS3 lines can be
expanded from 1 to 3. The number of available DS1/E1/DS3 lines is deter-
mined by printed circuit boards (capacity keys). Identical capacity keys plug
onto the transmitter and receiver modules. Changing the number of DS1/E1/
DS3 lines requires changing capacity keys. DS1 to DS1 and/or DS3 to DS3
capacity upgrades can be performed in-service on protected systems without
traffic interruption. In non-protected radios, traffic will be interrupted for
the duration of the procedure.
1.7.13
Bandwidth upgrade
Assuming no frequency or band change, DS1 to DS3 conversion can be
accomplished by changing out the I/O interface modules, LBO board, and
capacity keys and installing DS3 software. Electrical DS3 to optical OC3
conversion can be accomplished by changing out the I/O interface modules,
exchanging the LBO board with the auxiliary board, and changing capacity
keys and installing OC3 software. Changing out the LBO or AUX board
requires interrupting traffic for the duration of the procedure.
1.8
USER SYSTEM INTERFACE (USI)
A personal computer (PC) is required to access provisioning, status and alarm infor-
mation, and maintenance control functions (on-line maintenance and troubleshoot-
ing) within the radio. The PC is not supplied with the radio and must be provided by
the user. These functions are performed via the Alcatel USI maintenance program
software (Table 1-2). The PC must be IBM compatible. PC guidelines are addressed
in Table 1-3.
The USI runs on Windows 95

System Security
Password options ensure that only authorized users have access to USI pro-
visioning screens. The level of security provided by the system depends on
how thoroughly the security system scheme is implemented and maintained
by the system administrator.
