NSTALLING THE AMPUS NTERFACE You can install the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card into either the Campus-Star (in conjunction with a Campus-RS Line Unit) or the RS Desktop Unit. Make sure you install the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card into a Campus-Star chassis (with a Campus-RS Line Unit) or a Campus-RS Desktop Unit.
Installing the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card To install the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card in a Campus-Star chassis: Slide the card into the guide rails in the desired slot on the rear of the Campus-Star chassis. Campus-Star chassis Campus-RS Fractional Interface card Gently press the card into place until it is seated firmly in the rear connector.
Campus-RS Line Unit into the slot on the front of the Campus-Star chassis that corresponds to the slot into which you installed the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card. Use the guide rails to align the card. Install the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card before the Campus-RS Line Unit.
If you are installing the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card into a Campus-RS Desktop Unit, do the following: Install the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card into a Campus-RS Desktop Unit.

OOPBACK ESTS The Campus-Flex RS Interface Card supports a complete set of loopback functions that allow you to test the data communication path between the host equipment, the Campus unit, and the remote unit. You can use either the LCD and menu buttons or an ASCII terminal to initiate loopback tests.
HDSL transceiver of the remote unit is operational. If the remote unit is not a Campus-Flex RS unit, not all the remote loopback options are available. The remote loopbacks available are determined by the remote interface card.
To set the Loopback Timeout through the LCD, see page “Setting a Loopback Timeout” on page 4-28. To set the Loopback Timeout through an ASCII terminal, refer to page “Setting a Loopback Timeout” on page 5-48. Campus-Flex RS Interface Card User Manual...
• Test Mode (TM) Signal (output), also called Line Test (LT) Signal Description Local When the host device activates the LL input, the Campus-Flex RS Loopback Interface Card initiates a Local to Local loopback, as described on “Local (LL) to Local Loopbacks” on page 7-1.
The 24 timeslots (channels) of the HDSL link carry voice, data, and/or video signals from all three ports of the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card. You must decide how to allocate the 24 timeslots among the three ports to suit your needs.
ROSS APPING The Campus-Flex RS Interface Card gives you full control over the mapping of channels and lets you cross-map any port. For example, you can map local channels and ports to remote channels and ports in any order, as long as the total number of channels does not exceed 24.

For the following two examples, the Insert Framing option must be turned on for both the local and remote units. See“Inserting Framing” on page 4-6 for configuring with the LCD and “Inserting Framing” on page 5-23 for configuring with an ASCII terminal. Campus-Flex RS Interface Card User Manual...

The previous illustration is similar to the mapping if the remote unit is not a Campus-Flex RS Interface Card (for example, a DSX-1 or V.35 unit). In that case, all three ports on a Campus-Flex RS Interface Card map to a single remote port.
OURCE PTIONS This chapter discusses the issues that determine the correct settings for the clock and timing source options of the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card. DSX-1 T IMING If the DSX-1 port on a unit is enabled, the Primary Timing Source must be set to DSX-1.
(DCE) and data terminal equipment (DTE). DCEs normally provide timing information for the DTEs. The Campus-Flex RS Interface Card can operate in either the standard timing configuration or port timing configuration. In the standard timing configuration, both the local and remote Campus-Flex RS Interface Cards are connected to DTE hosts.

Clock and Timing Source Options Within a Campus system, set the Timing Source option for one of the Campus-Flex RS Interface Cards to Internal timing. Connect all other Campus-Flex RS Interface Cards to HDSL timing, as shown in the following figure. DTE Host...
The timing configuration shown in the previous figure reverses the data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) / data terminal equipment (DTE) roles on one of the Campus-Flex RS Interface Cards. This forces the card to act as DTE instead of DCE. With this timing configuration, and with a DTE/DCE “cross-over”...

Timing Port Timing The Serial Clock Transmit (SCT) signal on the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card cannot be configured as an input. In a standard DCE host, the SCT signal is also an output. This creates the following two critical implications for the configuration shown above: •...
Potential delay problems exist when the SD signal arriving at the input of the Campus-Flex RS Interface Card experiences phase delays relative to the SCT clock provided at the output of the card (shown in the following figure).

SD. Any phase delay from the SCT output to the TT input must be constant. Furthermore, the TT signal cannot be from a different frequency source than SCT and it should not insert any jitter. Campus-Flex RS Interface Card User Manual...
