Installation/Removal of a SIC/MIM/FIC

Installing/Removing a

SIC

WARNING: H3C MSR 20/30 Series Routers do not support online insertion and removal of SICs and MIMs. Before implementing any of the following operations, wear an anti-static wrist strap and ESD-preventive glove, and make sure that the power of the Router has been turned off and the power cord has been unplugged. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or your router may get damaged.

CAUTION: When replacing/installing an interface card or module, note the following

■ Do not damage the EMI gaskets on the card/module panel. They can filter

electromagnetic interference of the router.

■ To protect the card or module against ESD damage, hold the card/module by

its edge and do not touch the components on the circuit board. Put the uninstalled interface card or module on an antistatic tray.

■ If you do not install a new card or module after removing the old one, replace

the blank filter panel to keep off the dust and ensure adequate ventilation of the router.

Tools required

■ Flat-module screwdriver

■ ESD-preventive wrist strap and ESD-preventive glove

Removing the blank filler panel in a SIC slot

Take the MSR 30 for example. Following the rotating direction shown in this figure, remove the captive screws of the blank filler panel using the flat-module screwdriver.

Figure 1 Removing the blank filler panel from a SIC slot

Installing a SIC

Follow these steps to install a SIC:

Step 1: Place the rear panel of the Router towards you;

Step 2: Turn off the power switch of the Router and unplug the power cord;

Installation/Removal of a SIC/MIM/FIC 17

Step 3: Take out the SIC and align its remote edge with the edge of the slot on the Router’s rear panel;

Step 4: Push the SIC into the Router until it closely mates with the rear panel of the Router;

Step 5: Fasten the SIC into the Router with captive screws;

Step 6: Power on the Router, and check the LEDs of the corresponding slot on the front panel: after the initialization of the SIC, ON means that the SIC is operating normally and OFF means that its Power-On Self-Test (POST) has failed. In the latter case, please contact your agent.

Step 3: Unplug all the network interface cables connected to the rear panel of the Router;

Step 4: Remove the captive screws on both sides of the SIC using the flat-module screwdriver;

Step 5: Pull the SIC outward until it is completely taken out of the Router chassis.

Tools required

■ Flat-module screwdriver

■ ESD-preventive wrist strap and ESD-preventive glove

Installing a MIM

Follow these steps to install a MIM:

Step 1: Place the rear panel of the Router towards you;

Step 2: Turn off the power switch of the Router and unplug the power cord;

Step 3: Select a slot and insert the MIM along the guides in the slot until it contacts the rear panel of the Router;

18 CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

Step 4: Fix the MIM into the Router with captive screws;

Step 5: Power on the Router, and check the LEDs of the corresponding slot on the front panel: ON means that the MIM is operating normally and OFF means that the POST of the MIM has failed. In the latter case, please contact your agent.

Removing a MIM

Follow these steps to remove a MIM:

Step 1: Place the rear panel of the Router towards you;

Step 2: Turn off the power switch of the Router and unplug the power cord;

Step 3: Unplug all interface cables from the rear panel of the Router;

Step 4: Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the MIM;

Step 5: Pull the MIM towards you until it is completely separated from the bottom of the router.

CAUTION: The EMI gaskets on the FIC panel can filter electromagnetic interference of the router. Do not damage them when uninstalling or replacing an FIC.

If you do not install a new FIC after removing the old one, replace the blank filter panel to keep off the dust and ensure adequate ventilation of the router.

Troubleshooting 19

The MSR 50 series supports hot swapping. Thus, you can remove or install FICs when the router is running without disconnecting the power supply. But before that, you must first execute the remove slot command; otherwise, unknown errors might occur. When you replace the removed FICs, you do not need to execute the undo remove slot command however.

If you execute the remove slot command inadvertently, you can cancel that operation by using the undo remove slot command.

Tools required

■ ESD-preventive wrist strap

Removing a FIC

Step 1: Place the router with the front panel forward.

Step 2: Remove the cables connected to the FIC.

Step 3: Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the FIC.

Step 4: Push the ejector levers at both sides of the FIC outward, pull the FIC out of the slot along the guides until disengaging it totally from the slot.

Installing a FIC

Step 1: Place the router with the front panel forward.

Step 2: Align the remote edge of the FIC with the slot edge, push it into the slot, push the ejector levers inward until it presses against the FIC panel (the angles thus formed between the FIC panel and the levers are the minimum angles).

Step 3: Fix the FIC in the chassis by fastening the captive screws.

Repeat these steps to install all the other FICs.

Troubleshooting H3C Series Routers provide LEDs, thus facilitating you to make sure whether a

SIC/MIM/FIC is properly installed by viewing their state as follows:

After the installation of a SIC/MIM/FIC, turn on the power and view the corresponding LEDs on the cover of the Router chassis: ON means that the SIC/MIM/FIC is operating normally and OFF means that the Power-On Self-Test (POST) of the SIC/MIM/FIC has failed.

If the installed SIC/MIM/FIC is in abnormal state, check that:

■ Proper interface cable is used;

■ The LEDs on the panel of SIC/MIM/FIC are displaying normally (see the section

introducing the SIC/MIM/FIC for its LED status and description);

■ The SIC/MIM/FIC accepts the configuration and works well using the display

command.

20 CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW

SMART INTERFACE CARDS

MSR series routers adopt modular design and support a wide range of optional smart interface cards (SICs) and double smart interface cards (DSICs). A SIC interface card occupies one SIC slot of an MSR router and a DSIC interface card occupies two SIC slots of a router. The SIC/DSIC series interface cards provide abundant interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet interface, E1/T1, ISDN BRI/PRI, ADSL, audio interface, Layer 2 switching interface, and so on.

Among this series interface cards, the Layer 2 switching interface cards (SIC-4FSW and DSIC-9FSW) each have a corresponding PoE-capable one, which can provide

-48 VDC power to remote powered devices (PDs, such as IP phone, WLAN AP, network camera) through straight-through cables as long as installed in a PoE router.

For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30 and 50 series routers which have four SIC slots, a 4FSW/1FEF/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I interface card can only be installed in slot 2 or slot 4.

stands for Fast Ethernet and A is used to differentiate SIC-1FEA from the 1FE module. SIC-1FEA is used to implement the communication between Routers and LANs. It supports:

■ Effective transmission distance of 100 meters with category-5 twisted pair

cables;

■ Operating speeds of both 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps and autosensing;

■ Both full duplex (in common use) and half-duplex operating modes.

For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30/50 series routers, a SIC-1FEA interface card can only be installed in SLOT2 or SLOT4.

Interface Cable Normally, category-5 twisted pair cable is adopted to connect the 10BASE-T

/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface to the Ethernet, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 6 Ethernet cable

Ethernet cables fall into two categories: straight-through cables and crossover cables, specifically,

SIC-1SAE 23

■ Straight-through cable: the wire sequences of the twisted pair cable crimped in

the RJ-45 connectors at both ends are completely the same. It is used to connect terminal devices (such as PCs, routers) to Hubs or LAN Switches.

■ Crossover cable: The wire sequences of twisted pair cable crimped in the RJ-45

connectors at both ends are different. It can be used to connect two terminal devices (such as PCs and Routers). You can such kind of cables by yourself if necessary.

For the pinouts, identification and making methods of these two kinds of network cables, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

Connecting the Interface

Cable

If the SIC has been properly installed, follow these steps to connect the interface cable:

Step 1: Connect the Ethernet port of SIC to a PC or router using a crossover cable and to a Hub or LAN Switch using a straight-through cable;

Step 2: Check the status of LINK LED on the SIC-1FEA panel: ON means the link is connected and OFF means the link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line.

These cables are optional items. Please select one when purchasing a SIC-1SAE card; by default, the cable is not provided.

WARNING:

■ Before plugging or unplugging the interface cable connected to the SIC-1SAE

card, power off the router. Online insertion or removal tends to damage the port and even the device.

■ Before connecting the SIC-1SAE card to a remote device, identify the type of

the device, such as its synchronous/asynchronous mode and DTE/DCE mode, and the signaling criterion, baud rate and time clock required by the access device.

SIC-1EPRI/SIC-1E1-F

Introduction 1-port channelized E1/CE1/PRI compatible interface card (SIC-1EPRI) supports:

Step 1: Choose a synchronous/asynchronous serial interface cable depending on the type of the interface on the remote device.

Step 2: Plug the DB-28 connector of the cable to the DB-28 port on the SIC-1SAE.

Step 3: Connect the other end of the SAE cable to:

■ Port of CSU/DSU if the WAN is a DDN line.

■ Serial port on an analog modem if the WAN is a dial-up line.

Step 4: Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the card panel. It is OFF when the line is faulty and signal is out of synchronization. Check the line for the cause.

■ Transmission/Receiving and handling of E1 data streams;

■ CE1 (channelized E1) access;

■ ISDN PRI function;

■ Remote loopback and local loopback functions, facilitating fault test and

location.

It is possible to use the card for multiple purposes through different configurations.

Following are the differences between SIC-1EPRI and 1-port Fractional E1 interface card (SIC-1E1-F):

■ FE1 mode of SIC-1E1-F can support only one channel bundle (the rate is n ×

64kbps, n=1-31), while the 31 channels can be grouped into multiple arbitrary bundles by SIC-1EPRI;

■ SIC-1E1-F does not support PRI mode.

Connecting the Interface

Cable

Ethernet cables fall into two categories: straight-through cables and crossover cables, specifically,

■ Straight-through cable: the wire sequences of the twisted pair cable crimped in

the RJ-45 connectors at both ends are completely the same. It is used to connect terminal devices (such as PCs, routers) to Hubs or LAN Switches.

■ Crossover cable: The wire sequences of twisted pair cable crimped in the RJ-45

connectors at both ends are different. It can be used to connect two terminal devices (such as PCs and Routers).

For the pinouts, identification and making methods of these two kinds of network cables, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

CAUTION: You should connect a cable to the port with the correct mark. Misplugging is prone to impair the interface card and even damage the router.

If the SIC has been properly installed, follow these steps to connect the interface cable:

Step 1: Connect the Ethernet port of SIC to a PC or router using a crossover cable and to a Hub or LAN Switch using a straight-through cable;

Step 2: Check the status of LINK LED on the panel: ON means the link is connected and OFF means the link is not connected. In the latter case, check the line.

SIC-1ADSL

Introduction SIC-1ADSL, the 1-port ADSL over PSTN interface card, provides an RJ-11 interface

that can work as a WAN interface. It allows a LAN subscriber to connect to the digital subscriber’s loop access multiplexer (DSLAM) at the central office over a regular analog subscriber line or telephone line. Thus, the subscriber can access the ATM/IP backbone or the Internet to enjoy services such as high-speed data communication and video on demand (VoD).

ADSL transmits data in the high frequency band above 26 kHz. Therefore, it can provide services without interfering with the voice service being provided in the low frequency band (0 to 4 kHz) on the same line. It provides downlink rates in the range 32 kbps to 8 Mbps and uplink rates in the range 32 kbps to 1 Mbps.

The SIC-1ADSL delivers these features:

52 CHAPTER 2: SMART INTERFACE CARDS

■ Manual ADSL line activation and deactivation, providing a convenient fault

location means.

■ Interface standards of G. DMT, G. Lite, and T1.413, auto-sensing.

■ Trellis coding (except for G. Lite) on ADSL interfaces, enhancing the stability of

ADSL connection.

Interface Attributes

For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30/50 series routers, a SIC-1ADSL interface card can only be installed in SLOT2 or SLOT4.

After the interface card is properly installed, follow these steps to connect the cable.

Step 1: Verify the type of the ISDN line provided by your telecommunications service provider.

Step 2: Connect the cable.

■ For SIC-1BS/SIC-2BS

If the line is an ISDN U-interface line, use an NT1 for conversion. Insert one end of the telephone cable with ferrite core into the BRI S/T interface of SIC-1BS/SIC-2BS, and the other end to NT1.

If the line is an ISDN S/T interface line, insert one end of the telephone cable with ferrite core to the BRI S/T interface of SIC-1BS/SIC-2BS, and connects the other end with the ISDN S/T interface line.

■ For SIC-1BU/SIC-2BU interface card

If the line is an ISDN U-interface line, insert one end of the telephone cable with ferrite core into the BRI U interface of SIC-1BU/SIC-2BU, and connect the other end with the ISDN U-interface line.

If the line is an ISDN S/T interface line, contact your agent to change the interface card to SIC-1BS/SIC-2BS.

mainly used to process (receive/transmit and compress/decompress) the ISDN interface voice traffic. The interface(s) on the SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV card is (are) ITU-T I.430-compliant, adopting pseudo-ternary coding, providing 192 Kbps interface rate, and allowing the maximum transmission distance of 1 km (0.6 mi.) in point-to-point mode. In the upstream direction, the SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV card can be connected to a user interface on an ISDN switch to receive and decompress, compress and transmit ISDN BRI digital voice traffic. In the downstream direction, the card can be connected to a TE device to forward the voice packets from the TE device to the Internet through a WAN interface on the router, thus implementing VoIP. The card has the following features.

■ A BSV interface supports two modes: user and network, respectively for

connecting an ISDN network and a TE device.

■ When a BSV interface works in network mode, traffic is processed as follows:

The digital voice traffic received on the BSV interface is compressed and forwarded through the CPU on the main control board to a WAN interface. The IP voice traffic received on a WAN interface is forwarded through the CPU on the main control board to SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV, where the traffic is decompressed and sent to the TE device.

■ When a BSV interface works in user mode, traffic is processed as follows: The

digital voice traffic received from the B channels on the BSV interface is decompressed and forwarded through the CPU on the main control board to a local FXS or FXO analog voice interface. The voice signals received on the local FXS or FXO analog voice interface are processed by VoIP and forwarded through the CPU on the main control board to SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV, where the traffic is compressed and sent out of the BSV interface to the ISDN switch.

■ Working in conjunction with the FXS or FXO analog voice interface modules,

SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV provides flexibility in voice call routing.

■ The ISDN BRI D channel signaling is processed separately on CPU.

■ A BSV interface supports remote power supply and thus can be connected

directly to an ISDN phone, saving extra power supply device.

■ The SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV card is dedicated to voice applications, which is

different from the BS interface cards where BRI data applications are supported.

Interface Cable When a BSV interface works in user mode, it uses a straight-through ISDN S/T

interface cable for connection, with pins 3 and 6 for data transmission and pins 4 and 5 for data receiving. At both ends of the cable are RJ-45 connectors.

When a BSV interface works in network mode, it uses a crossover ISDN S/T interface cable for connection, with pins 3 and 6 for data transmission and pins 4 and 5 for data receiving. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 plug for connecting the SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV interface and at the other end of the cable is an RJ-45 receptacle for connecting a TE device.

Figure 58 Crossover ISDN S/T cable

Connecting the Interface

Cable

CAUTION:

■ If outdoor cabling is involved, you need to install a lightning arrester at the

input end of the ISDN BRI S/T interface cable to avoid lightning strike.

■ When connecting the interface cable to the interface, pay attention to the

mark on the interface to avoid wrong insertion, which may damage the interface card or even the router host.

Step 1: Decide the operating mode of the BSV interface. If the interface is to be connected to an ISDN network, it should operate in user mode; if the interface is to be connected to a TE device (a digital phone or another BSV interface in user mode for example), the interface should operate in network mode.

Step 2: Connect the cable.

1 To connect the interface card to an ISDN network, identify the type of the ISDN

line provided by your telecommunications service provider.

■ If the line is an ISDN U-interface line, use an NT1 for conversion. Insert one end

of the straight-through S/T interface cable into the S/T interface of the NT1,

SIC-1FEF

and the other end into the BSV interface of the SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV interface card.

■ If the line is an ISDN S/T interface line, directly connect the cable to the BSV

interface of the SIC-1BSV/SIC-2BSV interface card.

2 To connect the interface card to a TE device, use a crossover S/T interface cable.

Connect the RJ-45 plug at one end of the cable to the BSV interface, the RJ-45 receptacle to a straight-through S/T interface cable, and then the straight-through cable to the TE device.

Introduction SIC-1FEF is short for 1-port 100 Mbps fiber Ethernet interface card, where FE is

short for Fast Ethernet and F for fiber, indicating an optical fiber interface. SIC-1FEF is used for the communication between the router and LAN.

SIC-1FEF supports:

■ Five types of SFP removable optical interface modules: multimode short-haul

(850 nm), single-mode medium-haul (1310 nm), single-mode long-haul (1310 nm), single-mode long-haul (1550 nm), and single-mode ultra-long haul (1550 nm).

Introduction 1/2/4-port 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface module

MODULES

For the modular MSR series routers, a wide range of optional MIM/DMIM multifunctional interface modules are available, which provide abundant interfaces, such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, Ethernet interface, E1/T1, ISDN BRI/PRI, audio interface, Layer 2 switching interface, and so on.

Among the Layer 2 switching interface cards, neither the XMIM-16FSW nor the XMIM-24FSW supports the PoE function, while the MIM-16FSW and the DMIM-24FSW support the PoE function to provide -48 VDC power to remote PDs (such as IP phone, WLAN AP, network camera) through straight-through network cables as long as installed in a PoE router.

(MIM-1FE/MIM-2FE/MIM-4FE) serves to complete communications between routers and LANs.

FE modules support:

■ Effective transmission distance of 100 meters with category-5 twisted pair

cables;

Making Ethernet cable

Category 5 twisted pairs are adopted for making Ethernet cables. Each category 5 twisted pair is composed of 8 cores that are identified and grouped by color of insulation sheath. Usually a solid color wire and the white/solid color wire for it are in pairs. But sometimes, wires are also paired by color dots.

Ethernet cables fall into two categories: straight-through cables and crossover cables, specifically,

■ Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped by RJ-45

connectors at both ends are the same. It is used for the connection between a terminal device (e.g., PC and router) and a Hub/LAN Switch. The cables delivered with the Router are straight-through cables.

MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1/MI M-4E1/MIM-1E1-F/MI M-2E1-F/MIM-4E1-F Modules

Introduction MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1/MIM-4E1

MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1/MIM-4E1, the 1-/2-/4-port channelized E1/PRI interface module, transmits, receives, and processes E1 data traffic. In addition, you can use the card for other purposes, such as CE1 access and the ISDN PRI function.

MIM-1E1-F/MIM-2E1-F/MIM-4E1-F

The MIM-1E1-F/MIM-2E1-F/MIM-4E1-F module is different from the MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1/MIM-4E1 module in the sense that:

■ The FE1 operating mode supported by the E1-F cards allows only one n × 64

kbps bundle to be formed on each interface, where n = 1 to 31. However, an E1 card allows arbitrary grouping of 31 channels and multiple bundles.

■ The E1-F modules do not support PRI mode.

Interface Cable Interface cable of MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1 and MIM-1E1-F/MIM-2E1-F modules

MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1 and MIM-1E1-F/MIM-2E1-F interface cables are G.703-compliant cables (referred to as E1 cables throughout the rest part of the manual). E1 cables are divided into two types: 75-ohm unbalanced coaxial cables and 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cables.

■ 75-ohm unbalanced coaxial cable

Figure 92 E1 75-ohm unbalanced coaxial cable

You can select a pair of coaxial connectors with a BNC receptacle at both ends that connect two 75-ohm unbalanced coaxial cables with BNC connectors. The coaxial connectors are used for the extension connection with E1 75-ohm unbalanced coaxial cable.

■ 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cable

At the router side, the connector of the cable is DB-15 (male); at the network side, the connector is RJ-45, as illustrated in the following figure.

Figure 93 E1 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cable

You can select a network interface connectors with an RJ-45 receptacle at both ends that connect two 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cables with BNC connectors. The network interface connector is used in the extension connection with E1 120-ohm balanced twisted pair cables.

In addition, a 75-ohm to 120-ohm adapter is provided.

84 CHAPTER 3: MULTIFUNCTIONAL INTERFACE MODULES

For the pinouts of E1 cables, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual.

CAUTION: E1 cable, coaxial connector, network interface connector and 75-ohm to 120-ohm adapter are all optional accessories. Please order them when purchasing MIM-1E1/MIM-2E1 or MIM-1E1-F/MIM-2E1-F modules; by default, they are not provided.

Conversion cable for MIM-4E1/MIM-4E1-F module

MIM-4E1/MIM-4E1-F modules provide two types of “1-to-4” conversion cables: 120-ohm 4E1 conversion cable and 75-ohm 4E1 conversion cable. At one end of these two types of cables is a DB-25 connector used to connect a router, and at the other end are four DB-15 connectors used to connect E1 cables. You can distinguish these two types of cables by the main labels. There are the words “MIM-4E1-120ohm-CAB” printed on the main label for 120-ohm 4E1 conversion cables whereas the words “MIM-4E1-75ohm-CAB” are printed on the main label for 75-ohm 4E1 conversion cables.

The two types of cables have a similar appearance, as illustrated in the following figures. However, a 75-ohm 4E1 conversion cable uses 8-core coaxial cables but a 120-ohm 4E1 conversion cable uses four twisted pair cables.

MIM-8T1, the 8-port channelized T1/PRI interface module, transmits, receives, and processes eight channels of T1 data traffic. In addition, you can use the module for other purposes, such as CT1 access and the ISDN PRI function.

MIM-8T1-F module

MIM-8T1-F, the 8-port fractional T1 interface module is different from the 8T1 module in the sense that:

■ The FT1 operating mode supported by the MIM-8T1-F module allows only one

n × 64 kbps or n × 56 kbps bundle to be formed on each interface, where n = 1 to 24. However, the MIM-8T1 module allows arbitrary grouping of 24 channels and therefore multiple bundles.

■ The MIM-8T1-F module does not support PRI mode.

Figure 109 8T1 conversion cable

At one end of the cable is a DB-68 connector for connecting the router and at the other end are eight RJ-45 connectors for connecting other devices.

CAUTION: Before you connect a port, read its label carefully; a wrong connection can impair the interface module and even damage the device.

You are recommended to install a special lightning arrester at the input end of the interface cable for better lightning protection.

Step 1: Insert the DB-68 connector of the 8T1 conversion cable to the DB-68 port on the MIM-8T1/MIM-8T1-F module.

MIM-1CE3 Module

Introduction 1-port channelized E3 interface module (MIM-1CE3) serves to:

MIM-1CE3 Module 97

Step 2: Connect one RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the device to be connected.

Step 3: Power on the router. Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the module panel. It is OFF when fault has occurred on the link and signal is out of synchronization. In this case, please check the link.

■ Transmit/Receive and handle one channel of E3 fast traffic, as well as provide

the accessing of E3 traffic when working in E3 mode; and

■ Provide the low-speed accessing service at the speed of n × 64 kbps, where n is

smaller than or equal to 128, when working in CE3 mode.

■ E3 represents the tertiary group rate of E system in the TDM system, that is,

34.368Mbps. An E3 channel can be channelized into 16 E1 lines through the demultiplexing processes of E23 and E12, each E1 line supporting both the operating modes of E1 and CE1. E23 is used to indicate either E2-to-E3 multiplex or E3-to-E2 demultiplex, and E12 to indicate E1-to-E2 multiplex or E2-to-E1 demultiplex. “E23” and “E12” discussed here represent the demultiplex process.

■ The two E3 channels of 2CE3 can work in E3 and CE3 mode respectively.

Cable

■ MIM-1CE3 and 1CT3 adopt the same cable, which is called E3/T3 cable in this

manual.

■ The standard shipment package of MIM-1CE3 does not include the interface

cable.

CAUTION: Some measures have been taken to protect the MIM-1CE3 module. To achieve better lightning protection effects, however, you are recommended to add a special lightning arrester at the input end of the E3 or T3 cable when it is led outdoors.

Step 1: Connect the SMB connector of an E3 or T3 cable to the Tx port of MIM-1CE3 and another end to the Rx port of the device to be connected;

Step 2: Connect the SMB connector of another E3 or T3 cable to the Rx port of MIM-1CE3 and another end to the Tx port of the peer device;

Step 3: Check the behavior of the LINK LED on the MIM-1CE3 panel. It is OFF when the line is faulty and signal is out of synchronization. In this case, check the link.

MIM-4BSE Module

Introduction MIM-4BSE, the four-port ISDN BRI interface module, transmits, receives, and

processes four channels of ISDN BRI S/T data traffic on ISDN BRI S/T interfaces.

The MIM-4BSE differs from the 4BS only in the way they set matched resistance for an ISDN BRI S/T interface: the 4BS uses jumpers while the MIM-4BSE uses DIP switches.

The MIM-4BSE can work in dial mode or leased line mode.
