CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction 2.1 General Description The G.703 Rate and Interface Converter allows low-speed V.24 equipment to be connected to a G.703 codirectional (64 Kbps) interface. This conversion enables connection of low-speed data channels to the PCM network. The rate conversion is performed according to CCITT I.463 (V.110) and I.460 standards. This rate conversion also enables access to ISDN terminal adapters through the telecommunication network.

CHAPTER 4: Operation 4. Operation IMPORTANT! Make sure you’ve gone through all the installation procedures in Chapter 3 before attempting to operate the G.703 Rate and Interface Converter. 4.1 Buttons and Indicators The test buttons and LED indicators are located on the Converter’s front panel. Press the button to activate (turn ON) the corresponding test.
G.703 RATE AND INTERFACE CONVERTERS 4.2 Operating Procedure The G.703 Rate and Interface Converter requires no operator attention once it is installed (refer to Chapter 3), except for occasional monitoring of the front-panel indicators. Intervention is only required when: • The Converter has to be adapted to new operational requirements, or •...
CHAPTER 5: Tests and Diagnostics 5. Tests and Diagnostics This chapter contains procedures for performing system diagnostic tests and fault isolation. 5.1 Loop Tests (DIG, ANA, and REM) The loop test buttons (DIG, ANA, and REM) and the LED indicators built into the Converter allow rapid checking of the data terminals, the Converter, and the lines.

G.703 RATE AND INTERFACE CONVERTERS Appendix A. The RM110A Rack and the G.703 Rate & Interface Converter Card A.1 Rack Description The RM110A rack consists of a power supply and up to fourteen plug-in G.703 Rate and Interface Converter Cards. The rear panel consists of fourteen terminal blocks and fourteen connectors. Each terminal block provides five screw connections for connecting the transmit and receive lines.
APPENDIX A: The RM110A Rack and the G.703 Rate and Interface Converter Card A.2 Power Supply The power supply can accept either 115 or 230 VAC, depending upon the rated voltage of the unit. Essentially, it consists of a power-line transformer, a fuse, and an operating switch. All power-regulating circuitry is located on the Converter cards themselves.

G.703 RATE AND INTERFACE CONVERTERS Appendix C. Rack Adapter Installation Kits The G.703 Rate and Interface Converter’s exterior casing was designed to simplify access to the interior strap settings and to simplify installation in 19-inch racks. You can access the Converter’s interior by releasing two rear-panel screws and then using them as levers to pull out the interior like a drawer.
APPENDIX C: Rack Adapter Installation Kits After attaching the brackets, the unit is ready for installation in the 19-inch rack. Fasten the brackets to the side rails of the 19-inch rack by means of four screws (not included in the kit).
