    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.

  • Page 33: Table 1-1. Mx-2100 Multiplexing Data

    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.

  • Page 40: Figure 1-13. Basic Bypassing Configuration

    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).

  • Page 41: Figure 1-14. Bypassing Parameters

    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: •...

  • Page 42: Figure 1-15. Typical Bypassing Application

    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.

  • Page 44: Switched Backup Operation (Not For Mx-2104)

    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).

  • Page 45: Figure 1-17. Typical Switched Backup Configuration

    (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.

  • Page 46: Switch Mode

    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).

  • Page 47: Figure 1-19. Single Switch Mode

    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.

  • Page 48: System Management

    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.

  • Page 54: System Timing Considerations

    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.

  • Page 55: Figure 1-27. Network Configurations Using Dte Timing

    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.

  • Page 58: Figure 1-29. Typical Dce (Kml.1-4) Timing Application

    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.

  • Page 59: Figure 1-31. Typical Loopback Timing Application

    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.

  • Page 60: Figure 1-33. Typical Dce From Ml Timing Mode Application (Kml.7, Kml.8, Kml.f)

    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.

  • Page 61: Data Channel Clock Modes

    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.

  • Page 62: Timing Modes Of Isdn Channels

    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.

  • Page 63: Sub Link Timing

    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.

    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.
