    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.
  • Page 8 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.
  • Page 9: Features List

    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.

  • Page 17: Chapter 2. Installation

    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).
  • Page 18: Mechanical Assembly

    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.
  • Page 19: Electrical Installation

    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.
  • Page 20: Rear Panel Connectors

    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.
  • Page 21: Removal/Replacement Procedures

    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.
  • Page 22: Snmp Feature Removal / Replacement

    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.
  • Page 23: Chapter 3. Operation

    * 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.
  • Page 24: Terminal Mode Operation

    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®...
  • Page 25: Configuring In Console Mode

    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.

    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).
  • Page 38: Mib Structure

    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.
