DCE Operations and Maintenance
Category: Customer Premise Equipment
Length: 3 days
Description:
Intense, 3-day, hands-on course on practical DCE and DTE operations for the customer premise and network operations environment. Building and testing circuits, installing and provisioning prominent DCE and DTE devices, and practical hands-on maintenance and remote surveillance are typical of lab exercises for this course.
Prerequisites:
Completion of Computer Network Operations and Maintenance course (ISS220) or equivalent experience in LAN and WAN operations
Course Outline:
Network Operations Review
Review data transmission carrier (e.g Analog, DDS, DS1) fundamentals along with RS/V interface standards
Identify prominent async' DCE components and software, interpret common DCE options, and configure/install async' DCE components for given applications
Identify common synchronous DCE components, associate timing settings and other options for given applications, configure/install circuits and DCE components for typical applications
Define essential multiplexor operations, configure channel bank and other DS1 multiplexing equipment, and describe functional operations of CODECs, ISDN TAs, and Channel Interface units
Identify DCE testing and circuit/device monitoring strategies, identify/perform loopback testing and inject bit patterns for testing, and configure maintenance/secondary channels for remote/central circuit and DCE monitoring
