2 Channel POTS w/ Ethernet

Fiber Link Card System

SYSTEM INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Introduction

The 2 Channel POTS w/ Ethernet Fiber Link Card System

provides a comprehensive method of multiplexing POTS

channels over a single pair of multimode or single mode fibers.

Additional POTS lines may now be added when available fiber

is limited, helping to reduce equipment space, and lower overall

equipment costs.

The system includes two 10/100 Ethernet ports for LAN

interconnection. All ports operate simultaneously over the fiber

optic cable, and may be used with leased lines to build up

private networks and private telephone networks. It is available

in either single mode or multimode with the ability to operate up

to 120km over single mode fiber.

A typical complete system comprises one FXO/CO and one

FXS/Sub module, or use FXS/Sub unit at each end for

ringdown operation where direct connection to phones on both

ends of the system is desired. The system requires a 24-48VDC

power source and is covered by our Unconditional Lifetime

Warranty.

General Safety Practices Intended Audience This guide is intended for use by knowledgeable telco/network installation, operation and repair personnel. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this guide is accurate. However, due to constant product improvement, specifications and information contained in this document are subject to change without notice.

Guidelines for handling terminated fiber cable • Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber. • Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected. • Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber connectors. • Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss. • Do not touch fiber ends.
PAGE 4
Applications Optical fiber is immune to EMI/RF interference, ground loops, and high voltage surges from lightning or ground faults, and is ideal for electrically noisy environments such as near large power sources, electrical motors, and radio communications equipment. Additionally, copper twisted pair Ethernet is limited to 100m/328ft without extenders. Using fiber optic cable provides long distance service (up to 120km/74mi.) without any additional equipment.

Prior to installation • • • • • Check for shipping damage Check the contents to ensure correct model and powering options Make sure you have the correct fiber type and power available Have a clean, dry installation environment ready Observe anti-static precautions Required for installation: • • Suitable RLH card housing for the Fiber Link Card 24-48VDC power supply FXO/CO (Central Office) Side Unit The FXO/CO side unit provides the electrical-optical interface between PSTN or PABX 2-wire copper analog p

Connect optical fiber cable The optical ports may be equipped with ST, SC or FC fiber connectors. A fiber pair is required for operation with dual fiber models, TX is the signal output side and RX is the signal input side. Bi-directional single fiber models combine input and output, and require only a single fiber. Connect fiber cables to correct TX and RX ports. On dual fiber models, the TX port of on side must be connected to the RX port of the unit at the other side.

Operation On the Fiber Link Card, the yellow PHONE LEDs on the front panel indicated which POTS lines are being actively used. For both models, the LED indicators on each port indicate if the port connection and operation. The LNK LED is ON when the port is connected to a LAN or other active link, and the DATA LED blinks when the port is sending or receiving Ethernet data.
