Remarks :
If the CNCC is mounted on the subrack and the redundant ringer/power unit is required,
the latter is mounted in position 17 : in this case this position is not available for multiplexer
4.
In case of channel drop and insert, a slave PCM controller unit can be mounted in the
positions 3, 6, 12 and 15 for multiplexer 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
The subrack is primarily intended to be used with channel units (CSU's) with 10 or 15
channels per unit (or occupying 10 or 15 time slots on the internal bus). However, other
channel units can be mounted as well. Channel units with different signalling types can be
combined in one subrack and in one multiplexer.
If the number of channels on the CSU's is different and one CSU has a
non-programmable CTC (CTC1 or CTC2), the position of the CSU's is determined by
some rules as the position of the channel signals on the internal buses is fixed for a CSU
with a non-programmable CTC : it is determined by the position of the CSU on the
subrack (see also the table on the next page) :

if only one of the CSU's has a non-programmable CTC, bus conflicts can be avoided
by placing this CSU in a position giving access to bus 2 : position 1, 8, 10 and 17 for
multiplexer 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. If this is not possible for any reason, place the
non-programmable CSU in the first position giving access to bus 1 : position 2, 6, 11
and 15 for multiplexer 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

if two of the CSU's have a non-programmable CTC, bus conflicts can be avoided by
placing one non-programmable CSU in a position giving access to bus 2 and the
other non-programmable CSU in the first position giving access to bus 1 (see above).

if two CSU's with non-programmable CTC have to be mounted in the 2 positions
giving access to bus 1 and one unit has 3 channels per unit while the other has 5
channels, the first is mounted in the first position and the latter in the second position.

for CSU's with a programmable CTC (CTC3) the position of the channel signals on the
internal buses can be chosen freely and is determined by means of man-machine
commands, refer to section 3 of the manual ; installation. The same applies for units
which are not provided with a CTC but with a control circuit offering the same
possibilities.
When the channels on the CSU's occupy more than 30 time slots, at least one CSU should
be placed in such a position that the corresponding channels are connected to bus 2. In
this way the system configuration can be adapted, if required, by means of man-machine
commands only and without the need to rearrange the subrack layout.
Auxiliary units, if required, can be placed on any of the remaining places.

In case 1511BA with clock protection a slave PCM controller unit can be mounted:

B-pins can be grounded (refer to the strap options on the PCM controller unit).
By means of straps on the backpanel of this subrack, the pins indicated with 'strappable
ground' on the drawing above can be connected to ground or left open. These straps are
located above the CL connector and should be set in the upper position to connect the
