Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the FMUX04. If you would like to skip right to the installation and configuration of the Multiplexer, proceed to Chapters 2 and 3. This manual is used to explain the installation and operating procedures for the FMUX04, 4 Port Fiber Optical E1/T1 Multiplexer, and present its capabilities and specifications.

Chapter 1: Introduction When configured for E1 operation, the 4 channels of the FMUX04 may use either BNC (75 Ohm unbalanced) or RJ-45 (120 Ohm balanced) connectors for E1 Line interface connections. Each separate E1 channel supports a transmission rate of 2.048Mb/s (transparent unframed E1) each.
When the FMUX04 is ordered with optional Order Wire, a hardware card is installed inside the unit. The front panel's RJ-11 jack provides a "hot line" between the two FMUX04 units in the link. Standard telephones may be connected to the RJ-11 jacks and when a phone is taken "off hook", the remote side will automatically ring.

Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the equipment on. 2.2 Site Preparation Install the FMUX04 within reach of an easily accessible grounded AC outlet or site DC power. The outlet should be capable of furnishing 100 to 240 VAC (18 to 36VDC or 36 to 72 VDC for DC supply).
Chapter 2. Installation 2.4 Mechanical Assembly The FMUX04 is designed for standalone use, but it may be rack mounted as required with an optional mounting kit. The rack installation only requires 1U space (1 3/4") in a standard EIA 19 inch rack. The FMUX04 is delivered completely assembled. No provision is made for bolting the FMUX04 to a tabletop.
2.5 Electrical Installation 2.5.1 Power connection, AC For a model with AC power supply, AC power (100~240VAC) is supplied to the FMUX04 through a becoming standard clover leaf 3-prong receptacle, located on the rear of the unit. The FMUX04 should always be grounded through the protective earth lead of the power cable in AC installations.
Chapter 2. Installation 2.6 Rear Panel Connectors The rear panel of the FMUX04 supports the E1 and T1 interface connection, the AC or DC power connectors, the power switch and the Ethernet connector for connection to the LAN network for SNMP control (when the SNMP option is installed). The FMUX04 routes the signals from the 4 E1/T1 channels to the multiplexing circuitry and sends the multiplexed signals to the Fiber Interface on the front panel.
The front panel RJ-11 telephone connector routes to the OW (Order Wire) interface PCB. The OW option provides a standard FXS connection that links to the remote FMUX04 unit via the fiber optical interface. Calls are placed simply by lifting the telephone off-hook. The remote telephone will ring.
1. If the unit is installed in a rack, remove all connections and power cord. 2. Loosen the captive thumb screws on the rear of the FMUX04 until the threads are disengaged from the housing.
* When set to DIP Switch Configuration mode, the serial terminal cannot connect to the FMUX04. Any DIP switch change is immediately recognized without any need to power restart the FMUX04. When set to Console and SNMP mode, any other setting of DIP switches is completely ignored.
FMUX04 is very straight forward. The only hardware required is a DB9M to DB9F adapter cable (see pinout below). The FMUX04's RS-232 Console port acts as a DCE to the PC's DTE communications port. A convenient application, provided with the Microsoft Windows®...
Chapter 3. Operation 3.5 Configuring in Console Mode The FMUX04 Control Port (labeled Console & Alarm on the front panel) is a console terminal port designed to facilitate setup of all parameters through the use of a standard text based terminal or any terminal emulation program running on a Personal Computer. Make the appropriate connections, start the terminal application, apply power to the FMUX04, then press ENTER on the PC keyboard.

FMUX04. The 'FPGA Firmware' is the code that loads into the field programmable gate array at startup. The FPGA is the physical heart of the FMUX04, it provides the logic for the multiplexing of the E1/T1 signals, controls the loop back functions, provides the optical scrambling and integrated BERT among many other things.

The SNMP management functions of the FMUX04 are provided by an internal SNMP agent, which utilizes out-of-band communication over standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet. The SNMP agent is compliant with the SNMPv1 standard. SNMP communications use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
Enterprise-specific MIB's are published and distributed by their creators, who are responsible for their contents. The MIB supported by the FMUX04 SNMP Agent follows RFC 1158 (MIB-II standard). 4.5 SNMP Communities To enable the delimitation of management domains, SNMP uses "communities". Each community is identified by a name, which is an alphanumeric string of up to 255 characters defined by the user.
RS-232 Control Port of the FMUX04. Refer to Chapter 3, section 3.5 for operation of the console for the FMUX04 and the login procedures. From the 'Configure System Status' menu select "7", SNMP Configuration. Note: No SNMP configuration is available when logged into the unit.
Item number 3, is the default gateway for the network that the card is attached to and is required if the FMUX04 is to be managed from a different subnet. HINT: when entering IP addresses, enter without "dots" and include any leading zeros.
('secret' in this case) and read only ('public') access, and assigning a community string to an access IP, an administrator can control access to the FMUX04. HINT: when entering IP addresses, enter without "dots" and include any leading zeros.

Chapter 4. SNMP CTC Union provides a TFTP utility program that runs standalone in Windows® without any installation. We recommend that you copy the program and any binary image files for upload to your Windows® desktop for convenience sake. If you place the binary files and server program in the same directory, there is no need to enter any path information in the SNMP agent.
The following graphic shows the MG-SOFT MIB Browser software, after importing and compiling the MIB file, accessing the FMUX04 and doing an 'SNMP Walk' on the local E1 configuration OID. The query results are shown on the right screen.
4.8.1 Security Login To connect to the FMUX04 use the device's IP address as the URL location. For example with our setup unit, enter http://192.168.0.253/ and Enter. A login security prompt will display.
Chapter 4. SNMP 4.8.3 Display System Status The default page shown will be the Display System Status page. Note that the navigation menu is in the frame on the left side. The 'Local' designation means we are viewing the local unit (from the SNMP card's standpoint).
