FMUX/16E1 Multiplexer E1 Ports Connectors An RJ-48 socket is provided for the E1 ports cables connection: TX and RX Optical Link Connectors Standard FC or ST type connectors are used to connect the fiber optic link depending on the ordering code. Use optical cables to interconnect the TX connector of local device to the RX connector of the remote one, and vice versa.
FMUX/16E1 Multiplexer SNMP Port Connectors An RJ-45 sockets are provided for connection cables to Ethernet 10Base-T port for SNMP-based management: Use straight cable to connect the device to Ethernet hub. Console Port Connector Device operation may be controlled from the ASCII terminal (the console). DB-9 (fe- male) connector is used to connect the console.

FMUX/16E1 Multiplexer 3.2. Alarm Conditions The device is equipped with an alarm interface. The alarm relay is used for turning on an external alarm unit (e.g. bell, buzzer, control panel indicator, etc.) during an emergency situation. The alarm relay is used in «dry contacts» mode (that is, its contacts are isolated from any electrical circuits of the device).
