1 Overview Multiplexer Overview The Advanced Communications Controller (ACC) Subsystem is an intelligent serial communication product for HP e3000 Workstations and Servers. It provides a high performance Wide Area Network (WAN) platform for customers who have large synchronous and asynchronous networks. A complete HP ACC subsystem consists of both the multiplexer hardware and ACC software. This manual describes the 8-port PCI ACC Multiplexer hardware.
Overview Multiplexer Overview 8-Port PCI Multiplexer Maximum Baud Rates Although the ACC MUX card can handle rates above 19.2 Kbps for RS-232 and 64 Kbps for V.35, it is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the cable type and length are chosen appropriately. Per Port Aggregate RS-232 128 Kbps V.35 128 kbps RS-232 1024 Kbps V.
Overview Multiplexer Overview Multiplexer Hardware Requirements The 8-port PCI ACC multiplexer consists of the major hardware components described in Figure 1-2 and shows the components and how they combine to provide the functionality of the ACC subsystem.

Overview Multiplexer Overview HP Z7325A MUX/Interchange Panel Cable The MUX connects to the interchange panel by a 160-conductor (28 AWG) cable, three meters (10.77 feet) in length. The cable has male connectors on each end, refer to Figure 1-3. The signals for each of the pins are listed in Appendix A , “Interchange Panels.
Overview Accessories Accessories Table 1-1 lists the accessories available for the 8-port PCI ACC multiplexer. Table 1-1 Accessories Part Number Description Interchange Panels — Each interchange panel product includes the interchange panel, MUX/interchange panel cable, rack-mounting plate, and loopback test kit. Z7321A RS-232 Interchange Panel for PCI ACC Z7322A V.
Overview Interchange Panels Interchange Panels Overview of the Interchange Panels The Multiplexer is designed to connect to an interchange panel, which “breaks out” the signal into the ports. These panels are “passive” distribution panels, accepting the input from the MUX and distributing it to the network. This section describes the various models of interchange panels that are compatible with the 8-port PCI ACC product. Each interchange panel is designed for a specific serial communications standard.
Overview Interchange Panels RS-232 Interchange Panel The RS-232 Interchange Panel is shown in Figure 1-5. Figure 1-5 Z7321A RS-232 Interchange Panel Z7321A RS-232 INTERCHANGE PANEL J7 J6 J5 J4 P2 J3 J2 J1 J0 P1 The signals supported on the RS-232 panels are in Figure 1-6.
Overview Interchange Panels V.35 Interchange Panel The V.35 Interchange Panel is shown in Figure 1-7. Figure 1-7 Z7322A V.35 Interchange Panel Z7322A V.
Overview Interchange Panels The signals supported on the V.35 panels are shown in Figure 1-8. Figure 1-8 Supported V.

2 Hardware Installation This chapter describes how to install the 8-port PCI ACC Multiplexer and the interchange panel hardware for HP e3000 Workstations and Servers with a PCI backplane 19
Hardware Installation Unpacking and Handling Unpacking and Handling If evidence of damage is observed when the carton containing the product is opened, inspect all items carefully, keep the shipping carton and packing material for the carrier’s inspection. If any item appears to be damaged, or if the product does not pass verification procedures described in this chapter, notify the nearest HP Sales and Support Office.
Hardware Installation Anti-Static Precautions Anti-Static Precautions Follow these precautions to prevent damage to the multiplexer: • Keep the card in or on its anti-static packaging until you install it, or use a static-free workstation. • Use a grounding wrist strap when handling the interface card to channel static charges safely to ground. • Avoid working on a carpet. Reduce unnecessary movements. These precautions will help prevent static buildup that might damage the card.
Hardware Installation Installing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer Installing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer The three major steps to installing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer are: • Install the MUX card into the HP e3000 computer. • Install the Interchange Panel(s) to the computer’s rack. • Cable the two together. CAUTION The interface cables should be secured to prevent strain to the I/O card connector and panel connectors. The cables are heavy and apply significant force on the connectors.
Hardware Installation Installing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer 2. Attach the plate to the rack using appropriately-sized machine-metal screws for your rack. 3. Place one interchange panel against the back plane of the mounting plate. Mount it to the plate, using the M3x10 Torx screws provided with the plate. 4. To mount another interchange panel to this same plate, repeat the preceding step. Note that you can position the plate in a different direction from the first one, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Hardware Installation Installing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer The LED display is listed in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 MUX Card LED Display Interpretation LED Display Meaning LED flashes red for about seven seconds, then flashes green at two-second intervals. This is normal. The MUX card has successfully passed self-test, but the firmware has not been downloaded. LED turns green. The firmware has been successfully downloaded.
Hardware Installation Replacing Interchange Panel(s) Replacing Interchange Panel(s) The following procedure is used for replacing any of the Interchange Panels. Perform this procedure in the order given. CAUTION Before disconnecting and connecting MUX card cables to the interchange panel, be sure that the power to the computer is off. Otherwise, serious equipment damage may occur. Remove the existing panel: 1. Disconnect the I/O cables from the MUX cards to which the panels are linked. 2.
Hardware Installation Storing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer Storing the 8-Port PCI ACC Multiplexer If this product is to be stored, use the original shipping container, or one of equivalent quality and size. Use anti-static containers for printed circuit assemblies. The storage area should be clean and dry, free of corrosive elements. Ensure that the product will not be dropped or crushed.
Configuration Configuration of Clock Source Using NMMGR 3 Configuration Configuration of Clock Source Using NMMGR Refer to Table 3-1 to configure the clock source parameter using NMMGR: 1. Direct Connect (2 ACC — connected back-to-back using loopback cable). 2. Connected to MODEM (or External DCE device). 3. Direct Connect (ACC and PSI connected back-to-back using loopback cable). NOTE Auto dial is not supported on ACC (outbound Dial is not supported, but inbound connections are supported).
