Data Rate/ Defines the number of timeslots. The data 1-72 timeslots Timeslots rate is calculated by the equation: data rate = timeslots x 64k. NOTE: The default configuration for the LB532A-M is 89 timeslots (5695 kbps). Page 10 724-746-5500 | blackbox.com...
Configuration Underside of LB532A-M showing location of DIP switches Figure 2. DIP switches S1 and S3 must all be in the OFF position. DIP switch S4, positions 2–8 are used to configure the data rate. This figure shows the DIP switch orientation with respect to ON and OFF positions is consistent for all switches.
5632 5696 Ethernet Management Port The LB532A-M offers a 10/100 Ethernet port to view the current DIP switch settings via Telnet sessions. The Ethernet interface default IP address is 192.168.200.1. Log into the LB532A-M management port using the password superuser.

NOTE: The line probe feature is a future product enhancement. 3. INSTALLATION Once the LB532A-M is properly configured, it is ready to connect to the line interface and to the power source. This section explains how to make these connections.
Local to remote connection Figure 4. 2. To function properly, the LB532A-M needs one twisted pair of metallic wire. This twisted pair must be unconditioned, dry, metallic wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm) (the higher number gauges will limit distance). Standard dial- up telephone circuits, or leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment, or standard, flat modular telephone type cable, are not acceptable.
-. Tighten the screws on the block to secure the wires. The LB532A-M powers up as soon as it is connected to an AC power source—there is no power switch.
4.1 POWER-UP To apply power to the LB532A-M, first be sure that you have read section 1.3, “Power Input Connector” on page 9, and that the unit is connected to the appropriate power source. Power up the unit.
The software upgrade feature is available through TFTP. The software upgrade takes approximately 1 to 2 minutes to complete. To upgrade the software: 1. Connect to the LB532A-M via the Ethernet management port and a Telnet ses- sion at 192.168.200.1.
