A product label at located on the bottom of the unit. The label identifies the Flanger 4 Plus model, Firmware Revision, and serial number. Note: View the main page of the Web site or use the telnet ‘version’ command to identify the build version Flanger 4 Plus is running. For Build 050109 and later...

Ethernet and the Power Supply Flanger4Plus uses Power over CAT5 to supply power to the Flanger4Plus and WAN-connected equipment such as a wireless broadband modem. WAN Port Power Out: Wires 4, 5, 7 and 8 are carrying power from the Flanger4Plus to power the radio. LAN Port No Power: The LAN port is a standard 10/100 ethernet port.
Understanding the Front Panel The front panel has a single status indicator. The status indicator LED is used to display the overall condition of the Flanger4Plus unit as follows: Front Panel LED Meaning Blinking Orange WAN Link down Alternating Orange and Red Partner not found Alternating Orange and Loopback Restore completed...
Understanding the Back Panel The back panel has seven connectors, each containing two status indicators. Connects the Flanger4Plus to the dedicated network used for communication between a pair of Flanger4Plus units. (Power Out) LINK – Link is present. Blink indicates activity. 100 –...
Making Connections Locate each Flanger4Plus unit in an area where AC power, Ethernet connection to the external dedicated wide area network (WAN), and the local equipment DS1 connections are all available. Use a CAT5 ethernet cable (blue shown) and connect the external power supply to each Flanger4Plus unit’s Local port.

When to use Mode 0 to Mode 4 Pairs Use this configuration when connecting network equipment that provides its own stable timing source and remote equipment that recovers timing from the received DS1 signal for each DS1 line independently. When to use Mode 1 to Mode 3 Pairs Use this configuration when connecting network equipment that expects to receive stable timing from the Flanger4Plus and remote equipment that recovers timing from the received DS1 signal for DS1 line #1 directly.
Using Equalizer Control Settings Equalization settings are used to match the DS1 analog front end to the length and characteristics of the cabling connected between the Flanger4Plus unit and other TDM equipment. Short haul settings are used in an intra-office installation. For short haul T1 installations, the EQ settings are directly determined by the cabling distance between the Flanger4Plus and other equipment.

DS1 with RJ-45 Cable Diagrams The DS1 ports normally require a cross-over cable between it and the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment.) These cables can be made with a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable using the pin out drawings below. You can use a loop back plug in the Flanger4Plus remote unit to do bench testing.
