Detailed information on the specific MX-2100 modules can be found in the separate module Installation and Operation Manuals. The 3U high MX-2100 unit can be equipped with up to 12 I/O modules. 1U high MX-2104 unit can be equipped with up to 4 I/O modules.
Chapter 1 General Information Note In this manual, the generic term MX-2100 is used when the information is applicable to both MX-2100 and MX-2104 equipment versions. If the information is applicable to only a particular equipment version, this will be specified.
Page 19
Chapter 1 General Information The MX-2104 system can be equipped with only one main link. The 3U high MX-2100 system can be equipped with two main link modules. Two main link modules in an MX-2100 system, can be used in several ways: •...
ASCII terminal connection to the local MX-2100 • TELNET connection to the local MX-2100. The connection can be via SLIP or via an Ethernet LAN. The local MX-2100 requires an IP address. For information on assigning an IP address, refer to the DEF AGENT command in the Command Set Description appendix.
MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 General Information In-Band Management In-band management of a remote MX-2100 is performed via the local MX-2100 and the data frame. A connection to the local MX-2100 can be made through: • An Ethernet LAN •...
I/O module. All the modules are inserted through the rear panel. The cable connections are also made through the rear panel. Figure 1-3 shows a general view of a MX-2100, and identifies the functions of the enclosure slot.
Figure 1-3. MX-2100 Enclosure with Modules, General View MX-2100 Rear Panel Figure 1-4 shows a typical rear panel of the MX-2100 enclosure and identifies the slots and their use. Note the labels which designate the type of module that can be installed in each slot;...

MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 General Information 4 I/O Modules Figure 1-6 MX-2104 Enclosure, General View The MX-2104 enclosure contains the control sub-system, the main link (aggregate) sub-system and the system power supply. The main link sub-system performs main link interfacing, multiplexing and demultiplexing functions, and provides the timing signals used by the I/O modules installed in the enclosure.
Main Link Modules The enclosure can accept one KML type main link interface module or, for MX-2100, two KML type main link interface modules. In addition to main link interfacing, the KML module performs the multiplexing and demultiplexing functions and provides the timing signals used by the other modules installed in the enclosure.
For more information, see each main link module’s Installation and Operation Manual. Power Supply Modules The MX-2100 enclosure can accept one or two KPS type power supply modules. Several types of power supply modules are available: KPS.3 - 25W power supply module for -48 VDC power KPS.4 - 50W power supply module for 100 to 240 VAC mains...
I/O slot. The KDI module enables direct transfer (bypassing) of a group of main link frame bits, in both directions, between the two main links of MX-2100. Channels that are not bypassed are connected to I/O modules of MX-2100.

MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 General Information • KVC.1M - ADPCM or PCM voice interface module, provides one or two voice channels and support error-free fax transmission. For more information, refer to the KVC.1M Installation and Operation Manual.
Page 30
(MPMLQ in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.723.1) to provide one or two channels for transmission of voice and standard Group III fax signals over the MX-2100 link with automatic switch-over between voice and fax modes. For more information, refer to the KVF.4 Installation and Operation Manual.
Page 31
Group III facsimile and high-quality compressed voice signals while requiring, for each channel, a bandwidth of only 4.8, 6.4, 7.2, 9.6, or 12.8 kbps on the MX-2100 main link. For more information, refer to the KVF.5 Installation and Operation Manual.
To provide the flexibility necessary to support up to 12 I/O modules of various types for the MX-2100 or up to 4 I/O modules of various types for the MX-2104, with each module capable of operation in several modes, the system uses permanent on-demand allocation of main link bandwidth.
In general, the two MX-2100 units must be identically equipped. Both units must include the same modules with the following exceptions: – The KLS.1 in the local MX-2100 unit can work with the KLS.2 in the remote MX-2100 unit. – The KVF.4 in the local MX-2100 unit can work with the KVF.5 in the remote MX-2100 unit.

Bandwidth Allocations Allocation Units Allocation Rule Frame Mandatory Synchronization Management Depends on Main Link Rate Optional Channel (at least 9.6 kbps recommended) Channel Data Channel Main Link Rate in kbps (used Bandwidth Allocation Unit kbps rate in parenthesis) 9.6 to 32...
Bandwidth Allocation Example A MX-2100 enclosure equipped as follows is connected to a 256 kbps link (BAU used with this link rate is 1.6 kbps). The following table lists the required bandwidth allocation.
KPS.6 and KPS.7. KML Module Redundancy The KML module serves as the connecting link between the MX-2100 unit and the communication channel. For extra protection, a second KML module, not necessarily of the same type, may be installed in parallel to the primary KML module.
KML module, which then takes over. The operator of the MX-2100 unit can select the primary (active) KML module, e.g., in order to switch back to the preferred link after redundancy switching has occurred.

Figure 1-13. Basic Bypassing Configuration Figure 1-14 shows an example of bit routing between the various units. Since the bypassing is bit-oriented, the two MX-2100 links can operate at different data rates, but they must use bandwidth allocation units of equal sizes (refer to Table 1-1 for allowable selections).
Figure 1-14. Bypassing Parameters The manual allocation is performed at the level of individual channels, therefore the channels of a given I/O module can be routed to different MX-2100 units. This is however possible only if the following conditions are met: •...
MX-2104 Figure 1-15. Typical Bypassing Application Channels that are not bypassed are connected to users connected to MX-2100 at the central site: for example, the two channels of the KVF.4 module at location A (identified by No. 3) are connected to the channels of the KVF.4 module also identified by No.
(connected to a data channel of a KLS.1/NEW module installed in MX-2100 situated at the central site), and several data terminals located at other locations. The communication is based on a polled protocol, whereby the host operates as the master and arbitrates the traffic on the multidrop link by addressing the Dates one at a time.
Switched Backup Operation (not for MX-2104) MX-2100 provides a switched backup mode of operation, that allows the use of dial-up modems operating on low-cost switched data lines (PSTN mode) or ISDN basic access lines as a backup to the main link (ISDN backup mode, based on the use of the KML.10 main link module).
(carried by the channels defined by the system administrator as having high priority) can still be transmitted. When a failure occurs on the main link, a MX-2100 activates the DTR line in the backup link interface connector. The dial-up modem connected to this link dials a preprogrammed number, to set up a call to the other MX-2100.
The alignment process is performed when communication is first established between the two MX-2100 units, and is repeated each time a loss of main link synchronization occurs, or one of the MX-2100 units is reset (FIFOs are also reset when one of these events occurs).
Single and Switch Mode (MX-2100 only) - The local MX-2100 is connected to a remote MX-2100 via one of the main links (Main Link A or Main Link B). The local MX-2100 is also connected to a second remote MX-2100 via the other main link over an ISDN network.
The different switch modes can allocate the ISDN line as follows: • Connect after power up - Configures MX-2100 to connect the ISDN line from power up until power off. Using this option, the ISDN line is always open during a MX-2100 session.
Page 49
KCL.2. These interfaces allow the operator to manage the local or remote MX-2100 in several modes. Local Management MX-2100s are connected via a link. One MX-2100 is local and the other is remote. Local management operates and configures the local MX-2100. There are several options for local management: •...
MX-2100 via the data frame. On the local MX-2100, connect a supervision terminal, TELNET, or SNMP to the KLS.1, KLS.2 card. On the remote MX-2100, use a cross-cable to link the KLS.1, KLS.2 card with the SP port on the KCL.2. For a description of this method, refer to Figure 1-23.
SLIP to the SP-DCE port on the first MX-2100 in the link. Each MX-2100 has an IP address. Management information is sent via the SLIP connection to a particular MX-2100 in the link using the IP address of the MX-2100.
MX-2100 via the main link. The remote MX-2100 connects MX-2100s on the remote side using the NP-DTE to SP-DCE connections. Management information is sent via the main link of the local MX-2100 to any of the linked remote MX-2100s using the IP address of the MX-2100. Refer to Figure 1-26.

Supervisory Port Connector The 9-pin D-type female type connector located on the KCL.2 module (the Supervisory Port connector) can be used to manage the MX-2100 unit by means of an ASCII terminal, a network management station, or TELNET over SLIP. The...
MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 General Information When it is necessary to report an alarm condition, MX-2100 initiates the call set up. After the destination answers, MX-2100 sends the complete contents of the alarm buffer. Following the transmission of the alarm buffer contents, MX-2100 disconnects automatically.
MX-2100 allows the selection of an additional fallback source. The fallback source is automatically connected when the main source fails. If both the main and fallback sources fail, MX-2100 will switch to the internal oscillator.
Page 56
In the digital configuration, the modems that connect the MX-2100 units to the digital data network are set to operate in the LOOPBACK timing mode. This ensures that the two MX-2100 units derive their timing reference from the accurate master clock provided by the network.
DCE mode. The connected equipment must then use the DTE timing mode. The DCE timing mode is useful when the MX-2100 main link is connected to a channel of a corporate data transmission system (e.g., the main link of one of the...
DDS network. Such networks usually incorporate very accurate timing source, which are always preferable. Loopback timing then allows the locking of the transmit timing of both MX-2100 units to the accurate master clock provided by the network.
When the DCE timing mode is used with a KML.7, KML.8, or KML.F module, the timing signals of both the MX-2100 unit’s main link receive and transmit paths is taken from one of the I/O module channels. Alternatively, in dual link chassis configurations, the timing can be taken from the other main link module.
Configurations In bypassing and multidrop configurations, data is directly transferred between the two links of a MX-2100-2100 unit. To maintain bit integrity, the two links must have a common timing reference. All the MX-2100 units connected in a system that uses bypassing and multidropping must use a common timing reference.
I/O modules support all, or some of these modes. • Clock Mode 1 - DCE. In the DCE clock mode, the MX-2100 channel provides transmit and receive clocks for the equipment connected to the data sub channel, as shown in Figure 1-34. This clock mode is usually required for connection to DTE equipment.
MX-2100 units integrated in a large network that includes a master timing reference ensures locked timing without the use of external timing. The master timing source is used by all the equipment in the network.
TE Mode. One of the "S" interface ports connected to the network termination (NT) unit must be selected as an external clock source for MX-2100. Thus the MX-2100 nodal clock, and therefore the transmit timing of the "S" interface, are locked to the timing of the NT unit.
Page 64
The I (indication) signal is used as follows: − When the I signal is ON, the interface operates normally. − When the signal is OFF, MX-2100 sends a continuous MARK (binary "1") on the main link.

The various MX-2100 interfaces and connection instructions • The initial setup and configuration of the MX-2100 system. After installing the MX-2100 system, it is necessary to configure the system in accordance with the specific user's requirements. Refer to the Configuring MX-2100 chapter.
100 to 240 VAC, at input frequencies of 47 through 440 Hz. The maximum input current varies with the input voltage. For DC operation, the MX-2100 unit should be connected to a -48 VDC or -24 VDC source (in accordance with the nominal voltage of the ordered KPS module) through a circuit breaker.
To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the MX-2100 cooling vents and make sure enough free space is available below, and above, MX-2100, to permit free air flow. When MX-2100 is installed in a 19" rack, allow at least 1U of space below and above the unit.
Current and Power Capabilities of MX-2100 Power Supply Modules The following table lists the power that can be provided by the individual MX-2100 power supply modules when cooled by free air connection. Table 2-2. Nominal Power Consumption of Power Supply Modules...
• Method 1 - If you are using a MX-2104, exchange it for a MX-2100. If you are using a MX-2100, install the KPS.6 module. A single KPS.6 module can meet the supply requirements of most practical configurations.
Ringer-2200 Ringer-2200 is an enhanced standalone power supply unit that can provide power for up to 120 voice channels. This is enough power for a MX-2100 chassis fully equipped with 12 KVF.8 modules (96 channels). Ringer-2200 is intended for installation on shelves or in 19" racks. Unit height is only 1U. Ringer-2200 is available in 115 VAC or 230 VAC power supply versions.
The equipment connected to the SP port must set the DTR line ON (active) to gain control over MX-2100 and start a management session. When the DTR is ON, the MX-2100 front panel controls are disabled, and the LCD shows: TERMINAL ON LINE.
Page 80
The RI line is used only with dial-up modems (DTE interface mode). The RI line is normally OFF (inactive); when the modem attached to the MX-2100 SP connector detects an incoming call, the RI line is switched ON (active). See also the DSR line.
Chapter 2 Installation Handshaking Protocol with Dial-up Modem The handshaking procedure between MX-2100 and a dial-up modem uses the control signals in the optional MNG connector, and is essentially similar to the handshaking with a terminal. The difference is that the directions of the control signals are reversed relative to their direction in the SP (CONTROL DCE) connector when the SP interface is set to DCE.

Appendix C SNMP Management C.1 Scope This appendix provides the specific information required for the management of the MX-2100 equipment by means of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). C.2 SNMP Environment General MX-2100 SNMP management functions are provided by an internal SNMP agent, located in the KCL.2 module.
Page 160
Appendix C SNMP Management MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual • setRequest - Command for manipulating specific management information within the managed entity. The managed entity responds with a setResponse message. • trap - Management message carrying unsolicited information on extraordinary events (e.g., alarms) reported by the managed entity.
To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses communities. Each community is identified by a name, which is a case-sensitive alphanumeric string defined by the user (the MX-2100 SNMP agents support community names of up to 8 characters). Any SNMP entity (this term includes both managed entities and management stations) can be assigned by its user community names.
Appendix C SNMP Management MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual MX-2100 Communities The SNMP agent of the MX-2100 is programmed to recognize the following community types: • Read - SNMP community that has read-only authorization, i.e., the SNMP agent will accept only...
MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C SNMP Management IP Environment IP Address Structure Under the IP protocol, each IP network element (SNMP agents, network management stations, etc.) is called an IP host and must be assigned an IP address.
194.227.31.67 is 255.255.255.000. Recommendations for the Selection of IP Addresses When the MX-2100 SNMP agent and its management station are connected to the same network, the network identifier part of the IP address assigned to the SNMP agent must be identical to the network identifier part of the IP address of the management station.
Page 165
The usual approach to the management of a large network is to split the network into management domains, where each management station manages a predefined group of MX-2100 units. In this case, from the point of view of system management, the network can be split into several subnetworks, as shown in Figure C-2.
MX-2100/2104 Installation and Operation Manual Appendix C SNMP Management C.4 SNMP Traps The SNMP agent of the MX-2100 supports the MIB-II authentication trap, and in addition generates the following enterprise-specific traps: • Each alarm message • The result of each sanity check.
• Off-line, using any PC directly connected to the Supervisory Port of the KCL.2 module. In this case, the MX-2100 system cannot carry traffic while software downloading takes place. This procedure can be used to upgrade the module software version, as well as to install software in a new KCL.2 module, e.g., a repaired module.
Downloading Procedure - MX-2100 with Single KCL.2 1. Remove the card or cover from the MX-2100 option slot. 2. Turn MX-2100 on, and wait until LD3 - green LED, on the KCL.2 module turns off. 3. Set DIP switch 3 on the KCL.2 back panel to OFF, then set it to ON and then back to OFF.
Transfer Mode = Binary 3. When done, press the OK button. 4. The file KM2100.ARJ is now sent to MX-2100. The TFTP window displays the number of bytes already sent. If a fault occurs, the transfer stops before the total number of bytes of the KM2100.ARJ file is transferred and a TIME OUT error message is displayed.
