3. Before Installing Observe Special Handling Requirements Be careful when handling electronic components ATTENTION ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES • This product contains static sensitive components. • Handle the T1/E1 cards and optical modules by their faceplates only. • Follow proper electrostatic discharge procedures. This card utilizes circuitry that can be damaged by static electricity.
Prepare for Installation Check for shipping damage Carefully unpack and inspect the unit and accessories. Contact RLH immediately if any components are damaged or missing. Electronic components, fiber optic cable, and accessories have special handling requirements to prevent damage and enhance system reliability. If the iMux will be relocated in the future, save the cartons and protective packaging material.
Typical application environments Install the fiber optic cable prior to installing the iMux system. Required power sources You will need an acceptable power source. The iMux system accepts 90 ~ 240VAC (47Hz ~ 63Hz) and 12, 24 or 48VDC (9 ~ 75VDC) depending on the model. The F.C.C. requires telecommunication equipment to withstand electrical surge that may result from lighting strikes. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the F.C.C. requirement.
4. Quick Start Easy Installation Before starting • Review the safety information in section 1. Important Information • Familiarize yourself with the iMux and it’s modules as described in section 2. Introduction • Know how to handle fiber optic cable, have a suitable installation environment with the correct power, and have the necessary test equipment as described in section 3.
Connect ethernet cables • Attach ethernet cables to the RJ-45 ethernet ports labeled LAN1 through LAN4 on the front panel of the iMux. Connect data/phone equipment Attach the breakout adapters and cables depending on your iMux module configuration. Connect T1 cables • Attach the breakout adapter cable to the DB-25 connector on the T1 module. • Connect the RJ-45 T1 connectors to the breakout adapter cables.
5. Configuring the System Management Interface Using the VT-100 port Any PC with an operating system that supports the VT-100 Craft Port can be used as a console. The following instructions utilize the VT-100 Craft Port on a PC running Windows 98/2000/NT. 1. Use the supplied RS-232 cable and connect the console port to the COM port of the console PC. 2.

Power supply issues PWR LED remains off The iMux system isn’t receiving proper power. AC power • Check AC power using a multimeter. DC power • Check power at the DC terminals using a multimeter. • No AC power can be detectable on the DC power line. • Check wiring for nicking, scoring or poor termination. Verifying fiber cable Verify the fiber cable when incoming signal is good, but the other end indicates that a fiber signal is not being received.
