Telect’s BCS 4R is a low-cost, high-density, space-saving total solution to DSX-3 network element connectivity. Telect’s 2 RU BCS 4R chassis accommodates up to 32 of Telect’s highly reliable, 6-port BCS 4R DSX-3 modules. Each low-cost DSX-3 module features BNC and Mini-WECO connectors for cross-connecting, patching, testing.
Figure 3 - Network Element Circuits 1.1.1 BCS 4R Fully-Loaded Chassis Telect now provides fully-loaded 19” and 23” DSX-3 panels. These products come pre-loaded with either 6-port or 4-port modules. See the following table for part numbers. Table 1 - Fully-loaded 19” and 23” DSX-3 panels...
The front of the module contains a red tracer LED fed by power supplied from a GMT power shelf. A tracer wire is inserted through the rear of the BCS 4R Chassis; the tracer lamp is lit by grounding the tracer wire at the trace controller. Tracer lamps aid in diagnosing problems by visually mapping out assigned network element cross connections.
1.1.3 BCS 4R Chassis (Model 010-0000-8301 and 010-0000-8302) The 23-in. and 19-in. BCS 4R Chassis are shelves containing 32 and 24 positions, respectively, for BCS 4R DSX-3 modules. Each chassis includes a power backplane to feed -48Vdc, tracer-lamp power to the DSX-3 modules.
Periodic testing of facility parameters assures maintenance of adequate service levels. By terminating all digital office equipment at one central point — at the BCS 4R DSX-3 — overall testing can be performed from the central location. Periodic testing at DSX test jacks, connected directly to digital equipment inputs and outputs, identifies marginal equipment.
Use this equipment in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION ONLY. 2.1.1 Location and Space The BCS 4R chassis mount in standard 19 in. or 23 in. WECO-spaced or EIA-spaced racks. Allow for four inches of vertical space per chassis. Figure 6 - Rack Telect, Inc.
2.1.2 Computer Floor Issues The weight of a fully populated BCS 4R bay may exceed 500 lbs. Each configuration will vary in weight depending on number and type of cards and cables used. Adding repeaters will increase weight. If bay weight exceeds the support capacity of your floor, computer floor supports may be required.
2. Install cable management rings on the rear rack flange using the hardware provided. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install all BCS 4R chassis before installing power and I/O cables to any BCS 4R chassis in the rack.
6. Connect I/O cables to the rear of the chassis, as shown in the following illustration. In general, • For network I/O cables originating overhead, start with the lowest BCS 4R chassis in the rack and work up. • For network I/O cables originating from below, start with the highest chassis in the rack and work down.
Chapter 3: Electrical Operation 3.1 Power The BCS 4R equipment is passive with the exception of the repeater and Vector OTM card modules. The DSX chassis accept -48V office battery power to light the tracer lamps (TL) LED on the front of DSX and repeater cards and LEDs on the rear of the chassis.
Chapter 4: Service 4.1 Owner Maintenance Telect’s BCS 4R components do not need preventive maintenance. The only service you can perform is to replace these assemblies if they fail: • DSX Card Module • Repeater Card Module • DNI Card Module •...
The procedure for out-of-warranty service is the same as for in-warranty service, except that Telect charges a processing fee, and you must submit a Purchase Order along with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) before returning equipment. Call a Customer Service Representative for help getting these forms.
