  • Page 12: Configuration

    CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration The QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver is equipped with three sets of eight DIP switches. This chapter describes switch locations and explains all possible configurations. 3.1 Configuring the Hardware DIP Switches The 24 external switches are grouped into three eight-switch sets, and are externally accessible from the underside of the QuikConnect (see Figure 3-1).

This selection will cover almost all of the Black Box QuikConnect modules except the G.703/G.704 QuikConnect module. If you are using this interface and it supports n x 64 kbps G.704 network extension, then you should set the interface type for 2) G.703/G.704 interface.

  • Page 25: Plug-And-Play

    QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER 3.4 Plug-and-Play The Plug-and-Play application allows ISPs and PTTs to quickly upgrade the link speed for a customer without re-configuring the customer premise (CP) Line Driver. It will also allow ISPs and PTTs to set up all of the configurations at the central office (on the rack cards) before installing the standalone units, saving time spent configuring and re-configuring DIP-switch settings.
  • Page 26 CHAPTER 3: Configuration The Plug-and-Play application will also work in the managed system using the Managed Micro Rack SNMP/HTTP Card (RM261C-SNMP) and mDSL Line Driver Rack Cards (ME0004C) installed in the Managed Micro Rack (RM260). In this application, the system administrator can configure the entire rack through the Network Management Station (NMS) before the standalone (CP) units are installed.

  • Page 27: Installation

    QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER 4. Installation Once the QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver is properly configured, it is ready to connect to the twisted-pair interface, to the serial port, and to the power source. This chapter tells you how to make these connections. 4.1 Connecting the Twisted-Pair Interface The QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver supports communication between two DTE devices at distances to 5 miles (8 km) over 24-AWG (0.5-mm) twisted-pair wire.

  • Page 28: Connecting The Serial Port

    CHAPTER 4: Installation 4.2 Connecting the Serial Port The serial port interface on the QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver uses interchangeable QuikConnect modules. Each QuikConnect module has a 50-pin card-edge connector on one side and a serial port interface on the other. Figure 3- 3 shows how a QuikConnect module plugs into the back of the QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver.

  • Page 29: Connecting To Adte Device

    QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER Installing the New QuikConnect Module 1. Make sure the power switch is off. Leave the power cord plugged into a grounded outlet to keep the unit grounded. 2. Hold the module with the faceplate toward you and align the module with the guide slots in the rear panel of the QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver.

  • Page 30: Configuring The X.21 Quikconnect Module

    The QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver comes with a 100- to 240-VAC universal power supply (part numbers ME0008A-ME1, ME0008A-MT1, and ME0008A- MCAMP) or -40- to -60-VDC power supply (part numbers ME0008A-ME1-48, ME0008A-MT1-48, and ME0008A-MCAMP-48). No re-configuration is required. The universal interface AC supply is equipped with a male IEC 320 power connection.

  • Page 31: Connecting To Adc Power Source

    The -48-VDC power supply option uses a 3-pin terminal block with spring-type connectors. WARNING There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply section of the Line Driver. Only qualified service personnel should replace the fuse. Contact Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500 for more information.

  • Page 32: Operation

    CHAPTER 5: Operation 5. Operation Once the QuikConnect mDSL Line Driver is properly configured and installed, it should operate transparently. This chapter describes power-up, reading the LED status indicators, and using the built-in loopback test modes. 5.1 Power-Up To apply power to the QuikConnect, first be sure that you have read Section 4.3. Then power-up the unit via the rear-panel power switch.

  • Page 33: Test Modes

    QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER • ER: blinks ON/OFF after a 511/511E test has timed out. See Section 5.3.3 for more information. ER flashes once to indicate that a CRC error has occurred (during normal operation) or bit errors have occurred (during 511/511E tests). Only at power up, ER blinks once every 200 ms if the DTE rate is set to an unsupported settings.

  • Page 34: Restart Procedure And Timeouts

    CHAPTER 5: Operation Framer The framer is used to determine the status of the line. In normal operation, the framer transmits and expects to receive framed packets from the far end. If the framer receives framed packets from the far end, CTS and CD will be active. If framed packets are not received, CTS and CD will be inactive.

The remote unit will remain in the startup mode, NS LED on, CTS LED yellow, and CD LED yellow, until the local unit is taken out of the local loop mode.
  • Page 37 QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER Local Loop with 511/511E When the unit is placed into a mode 1 local loop and the 511/511E pattern generator is activated, the local pattern generator begins sending out a 511/511E pattern to the loop control block. The loop control block will loop this data back to the 511/511E pattern detector block, which will evaluate the data for errors.
  • Page 38 CHAPTER 5: Operation Figure 5-6. Local loop mode 2 with 511/511E. Remote Digital Loop The Remote Loop uses the EOC channel (an out-of-band signaling channel) to establish the remote link. Upon the RDL switch being thrown or DTE initiation, a RDL_ON Request signal is sent to the remote unit.
  • Page 39 QUIKCONNECT MDSL LINE DRIVER Remote Digital Loop with 511/511E The Remote Digital Loop with 511/511E is shown in Figure 5-8. After RDL is established, the remote unit’s restart timer is set to one minute. This is done because when the 511/511E generator is started on the local unit, the remote framer begins seeing unframed packets.
