Page 4: Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Chapter 1 – Product Overview This guide explains how to install and operate MultiModemZDX fax modems while using a Multi‐Tech ZDX modem rack. This guide describes the modem rack, technical specifications, power supply, how to install a modem in the rack, connecting RS232C and phone lines and powering up. ZDX rack holds up to twelve modems and a redundant power supply. The ZDX rack clearly displays what is happening with your data communications. Each modem has its own LED display, with indicators such as Transmit Data, Receive Data, Carrier Detect, Speed Status, Off Hook, Terminal Ready, Error Correction, and Fax mode. The rack is available in both 115V and 230V versions. The rack is 19 inches wide by 5 ¼ inches high. You can mount the rack in the same cabinet as your computer, or you can enclose the rack in a separate cabinet. To install modems into the rack, simply open the rack door and slide in the modems. You connect RS232C cables and phone cords to the modem's connectors on the back of the rack. Technical Specifications Rack capacity Up to twelve modems Connectors IEC 320 inlet power connector Dimensions 19" wide x 5 ¼" high x 7 ¾" deep 48.26cm wide x 13.28cm high x 19.6cm deep Weights Rack with power supply: 8lbs.

Page 5: Chapter 2 - Installing Modems In The Rack
Chapter 2 – Installing Modems in the Rack Before You Begin The MultiModemZDX modems are shipped with the DTR signal controlled by the interface and the modem’s Command mode enabled. With rack‐mount modems, it is assumed: ● Modems are in a central site computer environment, with the modems connected to a mini or mainframe computer. ● The main purpose of the modems is to automatically answer incoming calls from remote users. Disable command mode unless you want to give the modem commands. Leaving Command mode enabled offers the possibility of a user calling into the modem and reconfiguring it, or causing it to dial out. Refer to the appropriate modem owner’s manual to configure the modem for your application. Safety Recommendations Observe the following safety recommendations when installing a Multi‐Tech ZDX Rack. ● Never install telephone wiring during a lighting storm. ● Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. ● Never touch insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. ● Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. ● Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lighting. ● Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. ● This product is for use only with listed computers, or equivalent. Installing the Rack and Modems To install the ZDX rack, with up to 12 ZDX modems in the rack. Unpack the rack and check all items against the shipping list to ensure that you have received the correct items. Rack ... - Page 6 Chapter 2—Installing Modems in the Rack You won’t use the typical power supply cord when you install the modem in a rack. Note: Ensure that the power on/off switch on the ZDX modem is in the On position before you put the modem in the rack. When the modem is in the rack, you don’t have access to the power on/off switch. Slide a ZDX modem into one of the twelve available slots. Connect the appropriate power cable on the back of the rack to the modem's power jack. You may have to hold the modem in place from the front while plugging in the power cable. The top power cable supplies power to the top 6 modems and the bottom power cable supplies power to the bottom 6 modems. For each modem being installed, repeat these steps: ensure the power on/off switch is On, slide the modem into an available slot and connect the power cable to the modem. To connect the RS232C serial cables and telephone lines to the modems, refer to the MultiModemZDX Quick Reference Guide. When all the modems are connected to the computer and telephone lines, plug the AC power cord supplied with the rack into the power cord connector on the back of the rack and to a live AC outlet. 6 ZDX Series Modem Racks User’s Guide ...

Page 7: Tips For Mounting Modems In The Rack
Chapter 2 – Installing Modems in the Rack Tips for Mounting Modems in the Rack If the chassis is installed in a closed or multi‐rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. See Technical specifications in Chapter 1. When mounting the equipment in the rack make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous condition, such as loading heavy equipment in the rack unevenly. The rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it supports. When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, be sure to check equipment nameplate ratings to avoid overloading circuits. Overloading the circuits may cause damage to over‐current protection devices and supply wiring. Slots and openings in the cabinet help provide ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, maintain a minimum of 1 inch clearance on the tops, and 1 inch clearance on the sides. Powering Up Once power is applied to the rack, the modems perform a diagnostic self‐test, indicated by the speed LEDs flashing in sequence for approximately two seconds, then the 19 or 28 (depending on model of ZDX modem) lights. If none of the modems have power, check the power cord connection and that the AC outlet is live. If one or more of the modems do not power up, check the power connection to that modem. If one of the green power supply LEDs on the front of the rack is not on, then one of the redundant power supplies is defective. Models with AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three‐wire grounding type plug—a plug that has a grounding pin. Equipment grounding is to ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the grounding means and verify device is reliably grounded when mounted within a rack. ZDX Series Modem Racks User’s Guide 7 ... -
