Optimux-34 Fiber Optic Multiplexer Version 2.81 Installation and Operation Manual Notice This manual contains information that is proprietary to RAD Data Communications Ltd. ("RAD"). No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form whatsoever without prior written approval by RAD Data Communications.
Limited Warranty RAD warrants to DISTRIBUTOR that the hardware in the Optimux-34 to be delivered hereunder shall be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of shipment to DISTRIBUTOR.
General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A for USA and Canada). Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes. The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.
FCC-15 User Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
Français Mise au rebut du produit Afin de faciliter la réutilisation, le recyclage ainsi que d'autres formes de récupération d'équipement mis au rebut dans le cadre de la protection de l'environnement, il est demandé au propriétaire de ce produit RAD de ne pas mettre ce dernier au rebut en tant que déchet municipal non trié, une fois que le produit est arrivé en fin de cycle de vie.
• Avant la mise en marche de l'équipement, assurez-vous que le câble de fibre optique est intact et qu'il est connecté au transmetteur. • Ne tentez pas d'ajuster le courant de la commande laser. • N'utilisez pas des câbles ou connecteurs de fibre optique cassés ou sans terminaison et n'observez pas directement un rayon laser. • L'usage de périphériques optiques avec l'équipement augmentera le risque pour les yeux.

E3 The European standard for high speed digital transmission, operating at 34 Mbps.
Jitter The deviation of a transmission signal in time or phase. It can introduce errors and loss of synchronization in high speed synchronous communications. Laser A device that transmits an extremely narrow and coherent beam of electromagnetic energy in the visible light spectrum. Used as a light source for fiber optic transmission (generally more expensive, shorter lived, single mode only, for greater distances than LED).

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview Optimux-34 provides a simple, flexible, and cost-effective solution for transporting multiple E1 channels and 10/100BaseT Ethernet over an E3 link to distances of up to 110 km (68 miles). It provides 16 E1 channels, and is designed for applications requiring the full E3 bandwidth multiple E1 connectivity. The E3 link is available with single mode fiber, single mode over single fiber, or coax interface.

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Optimux-34 provides various optical interfaces for both the active and the backup E3 link(s) (see Table 1-1). If an incorrect SFP is inserted, an alarm is set and the SFP vendor parameters are displayed. Optimux-34 has internal and loopback timing for the uplink, and internal, external, and loopback timing for the V.35 interface.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual 1.3 Functional Description E3 Link Interface Optimux-34 can be ordered with an E3 electrical or a fiber optic link interface. The electrical interface provides short-range transmission according to ITU-T G.703 via the coaxial cable infrastructure. The optical interface is used to extend the transmission range to 110 km (68 miles), enhance transmission security and achieve immunity against electrical interference.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction V.35 Interface Channel 16 can be selected for E1 or for V.35. When selected for E1, channel 16 works as a regular E1 channel. If selected as V.35, the V.35 interface becomes active and works at a fixed E1 rate. V.35 is a DCE interface and supports both ISO 2110 and Telebras pinouts according to the ordering options. The V.35 module supports three clock modes: Internal, External and Loopback Timing.
Chapter 1 Introduction Installation and Operation Manual Management Requirements The Optimux-34 features a V.24/RS-232 port to enable management using an ASCII supervision terminal. The management interface also includes an SNMP agent that enables SNMP management of the Optimux-34, using the Ethernet protocol.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1-8. External and Loopback Timing Power Requirements Optimux-34 has a hot-swappable, wide range, universal power supply for AC and DC options. A second power supply is optionally installed in the Optimux-34 to assure continuous operation in case of supply failure. When the two supplies are turned ON, they share the power consumption of the unit. If one of the power supplies fails, the other provides the full power consumption. 1.
