Page 16: Installation
LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER Installation Operating Modes For the LCL163A/LCL164A to operate correctly in a ring the Test Switch fitted on the back panel must be set to the Normal position. The LCL163A/LCL164A needs no further configuration to operate simply in a ring. However, for maximum efficiency of alarm reporting over extended distances, four management operating modes are available. -
Page 17: Mode 2 - Remote Terminal Connection (Dial In)
LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER This sets the modem to Quiet Mode, uses DTR, DSR and DCD. If you require that the modem be capable of being dialed into after a power down of the modem, it is vital that you configure the modem to 9600 Baud, Auto Answer held permanently in its own memory. -
Page 18: Mode 4 - Remote Controller Device
LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER Configure the modem to 9600 Baud, Monitor DTR. The LCL163A/LCL164A will automatically request use of Data Set Ready and Carrier Detect of the Hayes modem, whenever a critical event is to be reported, by using the “&D2&S1&C1” control string. Using a directly attached terminal (see Mode 1 above) and referring to Section 6.3, configure the LCL163A/LCL164A “Connected To”... -
Page 19: Step By Step Installation
LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER Step by Step Installation Decide on the operating mode that best suits the system (see Operating Modes). Attach a PC running a VT100 emulator using the cable supplied. Set the VT100 to 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON/ XOFF flow control. Using the terminal emulator, edit the LCL163A/LCL164A configuration to support: a) Chosen operating mode. - Page 20 LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER Fasten the LCL163A/LCL164A into a rack or place on a suitable shelf. Check that the ventilation holes in the sides of the unit and the fan vent on the back of the box are not covered. Do NOT power up the units at this stage.

Connect the link to the remote site, power up the unit and to measure the receive power of the LCL163A/LCL164A at the remote site use a 1300nm power meter at that site. - Page 24 LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER 4. Power up the LCL163A/LCL164A and redraw the screen if necessary by typing CTRL_L. 5. Enter Edit Mode by typing CTRL_E followed by your password, if already set. 6. Press TAB until Single-mode Media Test is highlighted, then press 'Y'. Re- enter your password to confirm the test.
- Page 25 LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER If the launch power from the LCL163A/LCL164A on the single-mode interface is less than -4dBm for the high power device or -15dBm for the standard power device then that unit is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the link loss and receive powers are acceptable, check the inter-connection (A to B, Tx to Rx, etc) and repeat the test.

LONG DISTANCE FDDI REPEATER Troubleshooting Condition Possible Cause No LEDs lit Check power is correctly supplied to the device. Acceptable voltage range is 90-264V, 47-63Hz. Line State This is probably because that port is on the secondary permanently idle path, which is not currently carrying data. This is not a fault condition but indicates that no data is being transmitted on that path. - Page 46 (Normally Open versus Normally Closed). See Section 6.6.
