Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 1 • Introduction Model 2616RC T1/E1 T-DAC overview The Model 2616RC (see figure 1) provides 16 T1/E1 ports. A built-in digital cross-connect switch provides completely flexible grooming: the capability to connect any DS0-channel to any other DS0-channel from the WAN uplink ports or the T1/E1 ports.
Figure 2. Model 2616RC T-DAC features The 2616RC includes 4, 8, 12, or 16 ports selectable for T1 or E1 operation. The T1/E1 ports may be con- nected to ATM/FR/DDN/IP network backbones and are accessible via the 68-pin SCSI connector in the rear of the unit.
Hardware flow control (RTS and CTS) Power system The 2616RC obtains power from the Patton ForeFront chassis. Total power consumption is a maximum of 43 watts provided by modular power supplies installed in the Patton ForeFront chassis. Central processing unit The 2616RC employs an Intel i960VH RISC processor operating at 100 MHz/100 Mips.

68-pin SCSI to open end cable The SCSI-to-open-end cable (see figure 12) connects the 2616RC T1/E1 lines to a punch-down block via 24 gauge solid wire (0.5mm). The other end will be unterminated, open-end twisted pairs. Refer to table 5 punch-down block wiring information.
Model 2616RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 2 • Hardware installation Note The 64 wires in this cable are grouped into blue and orange binders of 32 wires each. Wires in the blue binder have the same color scheme as wires in the orange binder, so it is important to keep each binder sepa- rated to avoid confusion when connecting to a punch-down block.
