Page 9: Introduction
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Introduction This manual provides information covering installation and set-up procedures of the G- Converter Channel Card, types G-Converter Nx64 and G-Converter Nx64 (M) These cards are designed to be used in conjunction with a G-Converter Chassis System for which there is a separate manual. -
Page 10: Typical Applications
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Typical applications Typically the G-Converters are used to connect a router with an X.21/V.11 or V.35 interface to an E1 circuit with G.703 interface. Additionally both versions offer the ability to reduce the data rate of the X.21 or V.11/V.35 interfaced connection in 64Kbps steps. SALES: 0118 965 5100... -
Page 11: Installation
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Installation BEFORE INSTALLATION, PLEASE REFER TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS, APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS AND EMC REQUIREMENTS IN THE APPENDICES. Environmental Considerations The equipment may only be operated under the following atmospheric conditions: Temperature: 0 to 40 degrees centigrade. Humidity: 0% to 90% non-condensing. -

Page 13: Configuration And Use - G-Converter Nx64
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Configuration and Use - G-Converter Nx64 There are no switches or configuration links on the G-Converter Nx64 Channel Card. All the management and configuration is performed through the G-Converter Chassis Manager Card. This allows the G-Converter Nx64 Channel Card to be configured either by SNMP, data terminal (VT100) via the supervisor port or Telnet. -
Page 14: Supervisor Port (Terminal Management)
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Supervisor Port (terminal management) This RS232 option is presented on a female 9 Way-D connector. It can support VT52, VT100, ADDSVP, ADM3A, H1500, N8009, and TVI920 terminal emulation modes. Selection of the required option is made on the power up screen. Supervisor Terminal Requirements The terminal should be configured as follows: 8 bits per character, no parity, one stop bit, speed 19.2 Kbps. -

Page 18: Base-T Port (Telnet Management)
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards 10 Base-T Port (Telnet Management) This method uses the 10 Base-T RJ45 (Ethernet) port. When a Telnet compatible PC is connected to this port a management platform identical to that available via the Supervisor Port is supported. Before Telnet or SNMP management is used, it is essential that the notes relating to Supervisor Port Management be studied. -
Page 19: Supervisor Terminal Requirements
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Supervisor Terminal Requirements The terminal should be configured as follows: 8 bits per character, no parity, one stop bit, speed 19.2 Kbps. A ‘modem’ or ‘straight’ serial cable is suitable for connection of the Supervisor port (the Supervisor port pin-out out is described in Appendix C). -

Page 37: Operating Mode 1
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Operating Mode 1 G.703 Transparent interface converter, data rate fixed at 2048Kbps, In this mode the data is routed directly from the G.703 interface to the X.21/V.11 interface. In transparent mode the G-Converter Nx64 may be connected to other G.703 to X.21/V.11 converters. -
Page 38: Operating Mode 2
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Operating Mode 2 G.703 Interface, data rate configurable between Zero and 2048Kbps. When converters are to be set up as a pair, one unit MUST be configured as a Local unit and the other a Remote unit. In this mode DCE data rates may be selected between 0bps and 2048Kbps in 64Kbps steps. -
Page 39: Operating Mode 3

Page 45: Operating Mode 3
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards It is recommended this mode is used only if data rates up to 2048Kbps are required as a fault condition on the G.703 link could force the DCE clock to operate at 2048Kbps. If the user equipment is only capable of running at say 256Kbps then this may cause problems. -
Page 46: Local Control
G-Converter Nx64 Channel Cards Local Control When the converter is configured as Local (Internal switch: SW1, 1 = off) the DCE rates are selected by using the two rotary switches located on the front of the unit.
