Installation in the Data Shelf, converting user-supplied 48 volt DC input to + 15 Vdc, 15 Vdc, and +8.5 Vdc outputs for distribution to the PC cards. Regulators on the PC cards convert the plus and minus 15 Vdc to plus and minus 12 Vdc and + 8.5 Vdc to +5 Vdc.
Back Panel Interface Connectors All DTE, Telco and power connections are made at the back panel of the Data Shelf. The DTE connectors can be: v Individual 25-pin connectors one for each PC card (standard) v Two 50-pin mass termination connectors (optional) v Wire-wrap pins (optional) The Telco connectors can be: v Individual 8-pin modular jacks...

Installation v Provides at least 4 inches at the back of the enclosure for interface cable clearance and unobstructed airflow. Side and top clearances for rack-mounted equipment are dictated by the rack-cabinet provisions, but should allow a free flow of cooling air (Figure 2-1).
Installation Procedures Service personnel should be familiar with the complete installation procedure before installing the shelf. Required Tools and Equipment Special tools or test equipment are not required for installation. CAUTION: To prevent damage to enclosure components from overheating, ensure clearances of 1 ¾-inch top and bottom between mounted enclosures.
Installation Electrical Installation All power connections are made at the back panel of the Data Shelf. AC Power (RM16M ACV-R Data Shelf) Power for the AC version of the Data Shelf (RM16M ACV-R) is supplied to the power modules through a separate AC power cord. The power cord is fastened to the back panel with a cable clamp to prevent it from becoming unattached.

Installation Digital EIA-232 Interface The 16 EIA-232C or D digital input connectors are labeled and shown in Figure 2-2. These connectors are either Cannon or Cinch 25-pin D series, as defined in EIA-232. For a description of the active pin connectors, refer to Appendix D on page 39.
Telephone Line Interfaces The Data Shelf is FCC certified for connection to the dial-up Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The following sections describe the standard and optional ways for connecting to the communications line. Modular Jack Connectors The standard Data Shelf back panel has 16 8-pin modular jacks, one for each modem.
Installation same as for standard modems. Installing and Removing Power Modules Power modules generate power that is bused to the 16 modem edge connectors on the recessed power bus. Power modules are available in AC and DC versions. AC Power Module The AC power module is a 2-slot module designed for the RM16M ACV-R Data Shelf.
Installation DC Power Module The DC power module is a single-slot module designed for the RM16M DCV-R Data Shelf. The RM16M DCV-R Data Shelf can hold up to two power modules. When two power supply modules are used, any loss of supply or operating voltage to one module causes the other module to carry the entire load.
module. Then plug power cord into a 115 or 230 VAC outlet, as required. v DC modules: attach a DC power source as described under “DC Power” on page 16 11. Raise the hinged front panel. Removing Power Modules To remo ve power modules: 1.
Installation 3. Align the module in the Data Shelf guide grooves. 4. Gently slide the module into the Data Shelf until it rests against the edge connector. 5. Firmly push the card in to seat the edge connector. 6. To install additional PC cards, repeat steps 2 through 5. 7.
Figure 2 -5. PC Card Module Digital Interface Backplane Installation When the digital interface backplane is required, use the following installation procedure: v Determine which of the two EIA-232 connectors requires the special backplane. Each backplane converts two EIA-232 connectors to one 50-position connector or 50-wire wrap pins. v Plug the two 25-pin male connectors into the two 25-pin receptacles.

Chapter 3 Operation he Data Shelf accepts leased line, PSTN, and DDS-type modems. Leased-line modems operate on conditioned or unconditioned leased lines. PSTN-type modems operate on the dial-up network and have features that allow establishment of dial-up circuits and data transfer. Some modems can operate on either leased lines or PSTN.

Special Assemblies The Data Shelf can be configured with assemblies that enhance or modify the operation of the basic modems. The operation of the special assemblies is explained in the manual for the associated equipment. Some special assemblies are: v 801 Automatic Call Unit (ACU) Used with PSTN-type modems to establish automatic data calls on a dial-up network.
Chapter 4 Maintenance His appendix provides maintenance information for PC cards and power modules. PC Cards If a PC card becomes inoperative, replace it. Field repair is not recommended. Contact Telenetics for instructions on repairs and replacement (see “Contact Information” on page 12). When swapping out PC cards, you do not have to turn off system power.
Appendix B 24 Volt Input Data Shelf The RM 16M DCV-R Data Shelf is also available as a 24-volt input Data Shelf. In operation and function, this Data Shelf is identical to its 48-volt counterpart. The terminal strips are shown in Figure B-1. Figure B -1.
Appendix C Digital Interface Descriptions This appendix lists the digital interface descriptions. The information in this appendix may vary, depending on modem type.
