Section 1 – Introduction This manual describes the setup and installation procedures for the Intraplex DS-64NC wideband synchronous data module. Experienced users may go directly to the tables in Section 2 for configuration data. The specific multiplexer operation manuals contain additional information about using channel modules in Intraplex multiplexers.

An equipment loopback turns receive-side data around to the transmit side at the line interface from the near end (Figure 2-2). If the backplane buses in the shelf are not frequency-locked when the equipment loopback is in effect, the transmit-side FIFO spills periodically. GatesAir Intraplex Products...
This error indicates that you have selected a combination of data rate and starting time slot that does not permit all data to fit into the time slots available, given the current settings for system usage (T1 or 2 MB) and payload bits per time slot (56 or 64). GatesAir Intraplex Products...

I/O pin errors; the module monitors the output signals for transmit clock, receive clock, receive data, and handshaking, and reports if any of these devices deviates from its expected value.

Insert the module into the selected slot in the Intraplex multiplexer (Figure 3-1). Note: The module must be inserted so that the white ejector tab is at the bottom in a full size (5¼" high) shelf or at the right in a compact (1¾" high) shelf. GatesAir Intraplex Products...
1. At one end of the circuit, connect a data test set (Fireberd 2000 or equivalent) to the module adapter to test the DS-64NC module. 2. Activate the local (payload) loopback on this DS-64NC module: • S3/position 1 UP • S3/position 2 DOWN GatesAir Intraplex Products...
