MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 General Information
Application Considerations 1-37
There is no indication for the remote loss of frame synchronization, or for the
loops connected at the remote end of the link.
Remote channel loops are activated on the local channel, therefore such loops
return data toward the remote MX-2100.
It is not possible to simultaneously activate local and remote loops.
To perform channel tests by tone injection (voice channels) or pseudo-random
sequence transmission test (data channels), it is necessary to activate a local
main link loop, or to make an appropriate loopback connection at the remote
end of the link.
Management Communication Port
MX-2100 is available with a Supervisory Port Connector (Control port) and with
one of the following three Management Port interfaces on the KCL.2 module:
MNG: 9-pin Dial Port
ETHERNET: UTP Ethernet interface
ETHERNET: BNC Ethernet interface.
Supervisory Port Connector
The 9-pin D-type female type connector located on the KCL.2 module (the
Supervisory Port connector) can be used to manage the MX-2100 unit by means of
an ASCII terminal, a network management station, or TELNET over SLIP. The
communication parameters of this port can be selected in accordance with system
requirements:
Data rate - 9.6 - for use with ASCII terminal or SLIP connection
- 19.2, 38.4 or 57.6 kbps - for use with SLIP connection only.
Word format - One start bit
- Seven or eight data bits
- Even, odd or no parity
- One stop bit.
Interface type - DCE or DTE (user selectable).
Ethernet Port
The KCL.2 module can be ordered with either a UTP or a BNC Ethernet
connector.
Dial Port Connector
The KCL module can be ordered with an additional, 9-pin D-type female type
connector as the MNG port.
This port is intended for connection to a Hayes or Hayes-compatible dial-up
modem. The reporting method can be programmed by the user, in accordance
with the following options:
Always send a report whenever a new alarm or event condition is detected
Reporting disabled (no dial-out function).
