Generation of PESA Routing System Controllers and PESA’s legacy PRC-based Routing Control systems. This interface allows legacy PRC-based, or RM5000-based, routers to be operated under control of a new Ethernet- based PESA P2 Routing System. It also allows current generation P2-based routers to be added to an existing PRC-based 3500 Series Routing System.
February 2012 2. Hardware Configuration 2.1 Setting the Operating Mode DIP switch S1 on the UCI-2000-CPULINK PC board is used to set the card’s operating mode. Available operating modes for the UCI-2000-CPULINK are listed in Table 1. Operating Mode S1-8...
COM1 and COM 2 serial ports respectively; off = RS422, on = RS232. On the rear of the UCI-2000 chassis, serial port COM2 is used to communicate with the slave PESA Routing System Controller. COM2 can be set for either RS232 or RS422 operation. Table 4 below illustrates these settings.
4. Redundant Operation The UCI-2000-CPULINK is capable of fully redundant operation when two cards are installed in the dual controller chassis. The front panel toggle switch is used to select one of three redundancy modes: Active, Standby and Automatic.
Connect to PESA RM5000 Routing Switchers (37-Pin Cable) Figure 3 – Control Cable Connections Connect the PESA Master System Controller to the UCI-2000 using a standard 9-pin PESA PRC cable (pin-to pin) between COM3 on both units. Connect the COM2 of the PESA UCI-2000 to an available COM port (COM1/COM2/COM4) on the PESA Salve System Controller using either a 9-pin Null-Modem cable (RS232) or an Rx/Tx Swap cable (RS422).
The following steps describe the installation procedure for commissioning a new UCI-2000-CPULINK protocol conversion board. This procedure is performed with the UCI-2000-CPULINK powered up and connected to both PESA System Controllers with the appropriate cables. If your system contains redundant UCI-2000- CPULINK controller cards, this procedure must be performed on each card separately.
4. Set the front panel toggle switch to the AUTO or ACTIVE setting. 5. Turn OFF all switches on DIP switch S4 if COM2 is RS422, otherwise turn on only S4-4. 6. Install the UCI-2000-CPULINK card in the chassis and apply power (if necessary). Verify that the Power led is illuminated.
