2. Introduction Product Description The iMux is a powerful fiber optic modular multiplexer capable of providing up to 16 channels of T1, RS232, 2/4 wire data and analog phone FXO/FXS services, plus four built-in 10/100M Ethernet ports, over a single fiber. These services are supplied by the modules, up to four, that each offer four lines of communication and may be installed in any combination. Spares or add-on modules may be ordered separately and are field installable.

4 Channel Analog Phone (POTS) Modules Analog phone uses RJ-11 connectors and are supplied as FXS/Sub side and FXO/CO side modules. The FXO/CO module is connected to a central office or PBX, and the FXS/Sub module is connected to the customer telephone. Each line number FXO raises the same line number FXS, and provides 64k voice bandwidth. Use an FXS module on each end for ringdown operation where connection to phones on both ends of the system is desired.
4 Channel 2/4 Wire Analog Data/Audio/SCADA Module Four Analog 2/4 Wire Data/Audio/SCADA modules use RJ-11 connectors. Each channel has 300Hz ~ 3.4kHz bandwidth.

Each channel has 300Hz ~ 3.4kHz bandwidth. E&M type is set in software.
Setting E&M Jumpers and Switches Use the J2 jumper and the J4 DIP switches to set the E&M module mode to Master or Slave depending on the placement of the iMux in the network. The diagram on the following pages will help you determine the correct settings for your application. Refer to the diagram below for configuration settings.

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.
