System Overview Introduction Chapter 1 System Overview 1.1 Introduction This chapter describes chassis used by the IMACS-200. The IMACS-200 is available with redundant power supplies which operate in a load-sharing mode. The IMACS-200 chassis is manufactured to be RoHS-compliant. The IMACS-200 comes “Industrial hardened” to operate under more extreme temperature ranges of -40 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius (-104 degrees Fahrenheit to +158 degrees Fahrenheit). 1.1.
PAGE 22
Model No. System Overview Running Head Introduction The IMACS-200 offers a range of power input options, which are selected to be the most commonly used input voltages in use by our various customers. They are: -48VDC, -125VDC, 120VAC and 220VAC. The power supply modules are factory installed, and will come with the proper connectors configured for the IMACS-200 powering options you have selected. The power inputs are to the right and left rear of the IMACS-200, and labeled accordingly.
PAGE 23
System Installation Introduction Chapter 2 System Installation 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides instructions for unpacking and installing the IMACS-200 chassis at the user site. It also includes other information you will need to properly install the system and refers you to other chapters for additional port-level information. The system can operate on either AC or DC power when equipped with the proper power supply.

Running Head Chassis Installation 2.2.2 Pre-Installation Tips 2.2.2.1 Installation Checklist Model No. System Installation Install your IMACS-200 in the following sequence: 1. Choose a suitable location for the system, as described in this chapter. 2. Unpack and inspect the equipment for damage. 3. Mount the chassis on the desired surface (rack, tabletop, or wall). 4. Install the chassis ground connections. 5. Verify the voltage ratings of all power supplies in the chassis. 6.
PAGE 25
System Installation Chassis Installation Be sure to locate the system near all external equipment to which you will connect it. Cable lengths and physical/electrical characteristics are critical to system operation, especially for data signal interfaces. Generally, higher data rates require shorter cables than lower data rates. Also, you must use T1-grade cables for all system connections to those networks.

System Configuration and Operation Basic Operations Chapter 3 System Configuration and Operation 3.1 Basic Operations This chapter provides instructions for configuring the IMACS-200 for operation after installing it at the equipment site. Before performing the procedures in this chapter: 1. Be sure your IMACS-200 is installed and powered up. 2. Determine your system’s specific configuration requirements. These depend on your network and customer premises equipment (CPE) interfaces.
PAGE 40
Model No. System Configuration and Operation Running Head System Power-up 3.3.1 System Boot Following the application of power, proceed as follows: 1. Be sure your system and local terminal are both powered up. 2. Connect a VT100-compatible terminal to the SERIAL jack on the faceplate of the IMACS-200 front panel. Use a cable with an RJ-45 modular plug on one end for this connection. 3. Configure the terminal to operate at 9.6 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
PAGE 41
System Configuration and Operation 3.3.2 System Power-up Logging Into the System The first step in starting a user session is to log into the system. You must enter a password that allows you to perform the required tasks on the system. For access levels and user permissions, refer to the section detailing user access in Section 4.3.2 on page 3 of Chapter 4 IMACS-200 General Features. To log into the system from a local terminal, proceed as follows.

You can back up the system configuration onto an external computer after saving and subsequently editing it, and (if necessary) you can restore that configuration to the system.
PAGE 47
System Configuration and Operation 3.5.2 Port Configuration Recording Your Configuration Settings You should always record the configuration option settings for each port after you set them. This information may be needed later for system operation. To record the port configuration data, first photocopy the pages showing the port Screens in the associated chapters of this guide.
PAGE 48
Running Headthe System Reinitializing 3.6 Model No. System Configuration and Operation Reinitializing the System The system stores information about its currently installed ports, the port configuration option settings, WAN connections, passwords, and other data in nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). When you change any settings on the port types, the NVRAM remembers the previous port settings. Restart capability is available on the IMACs-200.

There are four WAN ports available on the IMACS-200. The WAN ports manage the flow of data through the IMACS-200 network. They terminate T1 lines and generate or receive network timing clocks. They also cross-connect DS0 time slots, to pass data through the system from one T1 line to another. 5.

This port is labeled Voice. See Appendix C for pinouts of this connector. This port manages the flow of FXS voice traffic over the network. Each port encodes analog (voice, VF) signals to a digital bitstream at the local system for transmission over a T1 network. It also decodes the digital signals to analog at the remote system.

WAN The WAN setting identifies the WAN link assigned to this port. If you choose wan, you also must select the desired port (w1-1 through w1-4) of a WAN port for transmission over a T1 link. It is not necessary to assign all ports of the same FXS port to the same WAN link, or to contiguous time slots on a WAN link. TS The TS setting identifies the time slot on the WAN link to which this port is assigned. Values range from 1 to 24 for T1 links.

To increase the signal level, set the Tx TLP setting to a negative value (i.e., the more negative the number, the more gain is added). To decrease the signal level, set the Tx TLP setting to a positive value (i.e., the more positive the number, the more the signal level is decreased).

PATTRN The Pattern field selects an outgoing test pattern for the current port. The test pattern is generated by the system and sent to the selected port. You can select a different pattern for each port. The none option disables the test pattern. The D-mW (Digital milliwatt) option sends a 1 kHz tone at 0.0 dBm.

Chapter 9 HSU Ports 9.1 Introduction This chapter provides information regarding the configuration and troubleshooting for the IMACS-200 High-Speed Data Ports. The IMACS-200 provides two High-Speed Data ports which connect via an RS-530 interface DB-25 connector, and employ V.35 standard for high-speed synchronous data exchange. The HSU ports allow you to connect high-speed data terminal equipment (DTE) to WAN links and/or other HSU ports. 9.2 HSU Ports The IMACS-200 supports two V.35 CPE devices.

Configuration can be performed from the HSU Main Screen, which is shown in Figure 9-1. Figure 9-1.

MODE The Mode parameter allows you to identify how the HSU port appears to the device on the other end of the interface cable. The dce option causes the port to be recognized as a DCE (data circuit-terminating equipment) device. The dce option is always chosen in the first offering of the IMACS-200.
PAGE 163
RATE The Rate setting allows you to select the bandwidth for all time slots assigned to this port. The available options are 56k or 64k. This selection is multiplied by the number of time slots assigned to the port, to define the overall port speed. For example, if you choose 64k as the port Rate and assign four time slots to that port, the overall port speed is 256 kbps. Tx CLOCK The Transmit Clock (Tx CLOCK) setting identifies the clock source for the SD (send data) signal from the external CPE.
PAGE 164
Running Head Model No. DATA PLRTY The Data Polarity (DATA PLRTY) option allows you to either send all data bits to the network as normal ones and zeros, or to invert all bits in the transmitted data stream. Choose norm (normal) to leave the transmitted data intact; or, choose inv (inverted) to invert all outgoing data. This can be helpful in ensuring minimum-ones density transmission over T1 links when the data contains long strings of zeros.
