IDSL LINE DRIVER W/V.35 OR X.21 TRADEMARKS USED IN THIS MANUAL Any trademarks mentioned in this manual are acknowledged to be the property of the trademark owners.
Data rates and asynchronous data format may be configured locally using DIP switches. ME0002A-V35 provides a V.35 interface on an M/34 female connector. ME0002A-X21 provides an X.21 interface on a DB15 female connector. Line connection is via an RJ-45 jack. Standard versions of the Line Driver are powered by a 100- to 240-VAC universal power supply.
• Small, convenient desktop unit. • CE marked. 2.3 SNMP Management The IDSL Line Driver (ME0002A-V35 or ME0002A-X21) is SNMP manageable when it is connected to a rackmounted model ME0001C. SNMP management is enabled through a RM261C-SNMP rack management card located in the Managed Micro Rack (part number RM260).

IDSL LINE DRIVER W/V.35 OR X.21 3. Configuring the Hardware DIP Switches The IDSL Line Driver w/V.35 or X.21 is equipped with two sets of eight DIP switches. This chapter describes switch locations and explains all possible configurations. Using a small flat-tip screwdriver, remove the protective cover located on the underside of the IDSL Line Driver (see Figure 3-1).
CHAPTER 3: Configuring the Hardware DIP Switches 3.1 Configuring DIP-Switch S1 DIP-switch S1 is where you configure the data rate, asynchronous or synchronous data format, transmit clock source, and response to RDL request. Table 3-1 summarizes default positions of DIP-switches S1-1 through S1-8. Detailed descriptions of each switch follow the table.
Page 13
IDSL LINE DRIVER W/V.35 OR X.21 NOTE The IDSL Line Driver can also operate at the 19.2 kbps synchronous rate. To operate at 19.2 synchronous, set Switches S1-1 and S1-2 both to the OFF position and Switch S2-1 to the ON position (see Section 3.2.1 for a description of Switch S2-1).

In some instances, you may need to connect an IDSL Line Driver to a third-party IDSL modem. By enabling S2-7, the Line Driver will negotiate and link up to a non Black Box IDSL modem. When using two Black Box units, please set S2-7 to the default position.
CHAPTER 4: Installation 4. Installation Once the IDSL 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 section tells you how to make these connections. V.35 connector Line interface Power input...

RIVER TO A EVICE The Line Driver (ME0002A-V35) provides a V.35 DCE (Data Circuit Terminating Equipment) interface on an M/34 female connector. As a DCE, this interface is designed to connect to DTE equipment, such as a router. However, tail-circuit applications require connection to another piece of DCE equipment, such as a multiplexor.

Connecting the Line Driver to an X.21 DTE or DCE. To change the DCE/DTE orientation from the default position (DCE), you must open the case Line Driver’s case.
CHAPTER 4: Installation The DCE/DTE strap is located on the top side of the Line Driver PC board (see Figure 4-7). The arrows on the top of the strap indicate the configuration of the X.21 port (for example, if the DCE arrows are pointing toward the DB15 connector, the X.21 port is wired as a DCE).
IDSL LINE DRIVER W/V.35 OR X.21 5. Operation Once the IDSL 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 IDSL Line Driver, first be sure that you have read Section 4.4, and that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source.
CHAPTER 5: Operation Table 5-1. LED descriptions. Description DSL Link (Active Green) Solid green (On) indicates that the end-to- end DSL Framer Link is up, signifying that the link across the DSL span is active. The DSL Link LED is Off when the link is down.
IDSL LINE DRIVER W/V.35 OR X.21 initiated Figure 5-2. Local line loopback. To perform an LLB test, follow these steps: 1. Activate LLB. This may be done in one of two ways: Move the front-panel toggle switch up to “Local.” Raise the LLB signal on the interface.
