ADMONISHMENTS
Important safety admoni shmen ts are used throughou t thi s manual to warn of possi ble haza rds to
persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what
may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers,
Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of
the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or
damage and likelihood of occurrence.
Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.
Danger: To prevent electrical shock, never install telephone equipment in a wet location or

2PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with information necessary to install and
operate the PatchSwitch equipment. Section 1 is a general description of the PatchSwitch
equipment.
2.1PatchSwitch Assembly Configurations
Prepackaged standard product PS assemblies are configured as listed in Table 1-1. All
assemblies contain 16 PS modules in the leftmost 16 positions of the 18 position chassis. The
17th position contains a blank panel and the 18th position contains the PS Chassis Control
Module. Each of the 16 modules provides patching and/or A/B (A channel DTE or B channel
DTE) fallback switching for all 23 leads of an RS-232/V.24 or V.35 circuit. Bank switching,
switching operation enab le, and mast er ala rm reset are al l pro vid ed for in t he Control Module of
the PS Chassis. Each module may be configured as part of an interlocked group.
Only one module of an interlock ed gr oup can be in the B stat e at one time. Eac h ass embly has a
blank designation strip for operator labeling of the circuits. The PS assembly has two main
functions. First, it allows a user to select from two DTE channels to be connected to a DCE.
Secondly, it allows the user to monitor and restore data channels through the use of manual
patching. The PS assembly gives positive indication of the current DTE channel in use and
allows the operato r to switch all 16 channel s in the PS assembly with a si ngle switch (bank
switch). With user selectable serial remote control, the switching function can be located up to
1,000 feet away for the PS chassis assembly. With user selectable dc controlled bank switching,
the bank switching function can be located up to 500 feet away.
ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 199 9 • Sec tion 1: In troduction
The Interlocked group feature protects a device used as a substitute. A spare device may be
connected to the DTE-B port of several A/B switching modules as shown in Figure 1-1. The A/B
Interlock Jumper of each module in the group m ust be in the same position. When one device
fails, the spare device may be substituted. Now, If another device fails, the interlocked group
feature prevents the spare from being substituted for the second failed device.
The PS equipment consists of a chassis with a control module and associated power supply,
modules forpatching and/or switching and interfacing, blank panel and patch cords. Table 1-2 lists
the PS equipment.

1GENERAL
This section describes how the PatchSwitch equipment functionally operates in a data
communications netw ork. The PS equipment pro vide s two main f uncti ons. A user selec ts one o f
two DTE data cha nnel s to connect to a DCE. Add it ion al ly, the user can monitor an d r es tor e dat a
channels with a manual patch.
2PATCHING WITH IN-LINE A/B SWITCHING
A functiona l diagram illustrati ng patching wi th in-line A/B swit ching is shown in Figure 2-1.
Computer access is through the COMPUTER patch cord jack and either the DTE-A or DTE-B
jack. Modem connection is through the MODEM patch cord jack and the DCE jack. Monitor
connection is through the MONITOR patch cord jack.

3A/B SWITCHING WITH OFF-LINE MONITOR ACCESS
The capability for accessing the off-line DTE device is illustrated in Figure 2-2. The upper port
(A) provides patch cord access to the upper “D” subminiature connector (J-1) on the chassis
rear panel. When the module is in the “A” or normal state, this provides a monitor function. If
the module is in the “B” or “sub” state, this provides direct test access to the off-line device.
The middle port (B) functions in the same manner for the middle connector (J-2) on the chassis
backplane; “B” state, monitor access. “A” state, test access to the off-line “B” device.
The lower port (C) provides “intrusive” test access to the lower (J-3) connector on the chassis
backplane. Insertion of a patch cord in this port, regardless of switch status, breaks the circuit
and connects the patch cord to the common (DCE) device.

2. Enable the bank switch and the individual module A/B switches.
3. Reset all of the modules' alarm circuits.
The audible alarm circuitry is in the CM. It activates when an individual PS module detects an
alarm condition (according to the alarm selection configuration on the module). Alarm
conditions are detected only by modules which contain circuitry. The alarm circuitry must also
be conditioned by proper strapping (jumper) of the individual PS chassis module.
When the alarm conditi on occurs, the individual module energizes it s ye ll ow LED indicator and
the CM audible alarm sounds. The operator toggles the reset switch to reset the alarm circuitry.
The PS Control Module is equipped with a selectable remote control feature. Depending on the
strap position the CM will either accept serial RS-422 or dc level (pulse) signals through the 9pin D-subminiature connector. The CM is shipped strapped for RS-422 control.
With the CM strapped for serial RS-422 remote control, the CM provides an interface between
the PS chassis modules and a remote control device (see Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4). The
following devices can be used for remote control of a PS chassis.
1. PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit (RCU, PSR-03) (See ADCP-50-302 User Manual.)
2. Terminal or computer (asynchronous ASCII device).
A remote control device can control the operation of up to 16 full PS chassis assemblies (16
modules each) using a dedicated communications channel. This channel has four signals:
1. Transmit Data (TD)
2. Receive Data (RD)
3. Clear-To-Send (CTS)
4. Request-To-Send (CTS)
Each of the abo ve signals ha s t he same function as th e corresponding sig nal s defined by the RS232 standard.
The communications channel transmission medium is a cable consisting of four twisted wires
within an overall shield. The shield is ground potential.
Note:
The electrical characteristics of the communications channel cable (9-wire)
conform to RS-422A/V.11 (X.27) standards.

The cable connectors are 9-pin, D-subminiature. Both end-connectors are male. The cable may
be up to 1,000 feet in length. Connector pin assignments are detailed in Table 2-1.
Each PS chassis contains two female 9-pin D-subminiature connectors wired in parallel. A
cable connects one PS chassis to another in daisy-chain fashion. A long cable connects the
remote contro l device to the first (or last) P S chassis i n the chai n. Up to 16 PS chass is may be
interconnected via the communications cable to a remote control device.
All transmissions between the PatchSwitch Control Module and the remote control device must
use the ASCII character set. The PS chassis is a DCE device and has the following data
transmission characteristics:
1. Speed of 1200 bits per second
2. Asynchronous transmission
3. Bit-serial ASCII data (8 bit no parity)
4. One Stop bit.
During normal operations, only one (of the possible 16) PS chassis CM may transmit on the
communications channel at one time. When a PS Chassis is selected by the remote control
device, all other PS chassis connected on the same channel are disabled (de-selected). All
manual controls on a CM are always functional.
With the CM strapped for dc pulse control, the CM provides capability to bank switch PS chassis
modules by application of 0V (GND), +5V or –5 V to –48V dc voltage levels on the 9- pin Dsubminiature connector. The connector pin assignments are detailed in Table 2-2.
The dc voltages indicated in Table 2-2 must be present for a minimum of 250 msec
Note:
to ensure switching.
Up to four (4) PS chassis can be bank switched by daisy chaining the CMs via the 9-pin Dsubminiature and ensuring that each CM is strapped for dc pulse control.
The CM is also equipped with a selectable Autofallback feature. When an alarm condition is
detected, automatic switching is performed between the “A” and “B” sides of the PS modules.
The “A” to “B” side, or “B” to “A” automatic switching operation is selected by installing a
jumper on the CM circuit board. After configuring the Autofallback option, the PS module
detecting the alarm swi tc hes to t he designated side (dep endi ng on the strap install ed) , it re mains
in the switched position regardless of subsequent alarm status.
Alarm indications are automatically reset after the module detecting the alarm switches to the
appropriate side if the module is strapped for “Automatic Reset” (recommended). When the
front panel alarm (
ALM
) selection is posi ti one d in the
OFF
position, the autof al lback feature is
disabled for that module.
3.2LED/Alarm Patch Module with A/B Switching and In-Line Patch Access (PSM-01)
This PS module provides patching and switching functions together with lead status, switch
status, and alarm indications. A simplified circuit of this module is shown in Figure 2-5.
The A/B switch activates relays to connect the computer patch cord jack either the DTE-A port
or the DTE-B port. The indicators show A/B switch position, alarm and RS-232 lead status.
Figure 2-6 shows a more detailed diagram of the module. In addition to switching between
DTE-A or DTE-B, th e rel ay s als o swit ch in th e int er lo ck ju mp er. Interlockin g is use d to pro te ct
the user from accidentally switching a common backup piece of equipment onto two or more
different data lines. This is accomplished by allowing only the first module in that group to
switch. The remaining modules r emain in the “no rmal sta te” or the “A” position. Modules in the
“B” position once switched to “A” will remain in the “A” position.
The three classes of interlock groups available are:
1. Global Interlock: Groups 1 and 2 are global and may be extended to all chassis in a
system, using a 20-p in i nt er cha ssi s i nt er loc k cable. W it h t hi s gr ouping, all modules having
a jumper placed on group 1 make up one group, and all modules with a ju mp er on gr oup 2
make up the other group. Interchassis interlock cables must be installed between chassis.
Each module interlock group may have no more than one jumper installed at a time.
2. Horizontal Interlock: Groups 3 and 4 are horizontal and they include only modules in the
individual chassis. With this grouping, all modules having a jumper placed on group 3
make up one group, and all modules with a jumper on group 4 make up the other group.
These groupings do not extend out of the chassis and are not affected by the interchassis
interlock cable. Each module interlock group jumper block may have no more than one
jumper installed at a time.
3. Vertical Interlock: The vertical in terl ock ju mper po siti on is la beled V. Placi ng a jump er in
this position interlocks all modules in the same slot location in other chassis having a
jumper install ed on the same V position . Interchassis interlo ck cables must be installe d
between chassis. The interchassis interlock cable is a 20 position ribbon cable (4WC-03)
with a 20-pin connector for each chassis. Each module interlock group jumper block may
have no more than one jumper installed at a time.
LEDs show the status of eight RS-232 leads. Each lead has a jumper connection to the alarm
circuit control logic. The alarm is thus user selectable for any of eight leads. The EIA RS-232/
CCITT V.2 4 modem interface signal l eads are shown in Table 2-3. The al arm circuit control
logic supplies the alarm signal to the control module and an alarm indicator. This logic is also
controlled by the RST (Reset) touch switch, toggle switch OFF (LED off, audible alarm off),
ALM (LED and audible alarm on) and LED (LED on, audible alarm off), and rotary switch
DLY (alarm time delay setting). The alarm may be automatically reset if the automatic alarm
reset jumper is in place. LED status indicators with their color and signal definition is shown in
Table 2-4. Table 2-5 shows the alarm delay settings.
Caution: The bank switching feature is not compatible with the group interlock feature. If no
module in an interlocked group is in the B state when a bank switch to the B state is initiated,
only the first module in this group will switch to the B state. Data may be lost when more than
one module is in the B state of an interlocked group. If one module in an interlocked group is in
the B state when a bank switch is initiated, the rest of the modules in that interlocked group do
not switch to the B state; consequently, the system maintains its integrity

3.3Patch Module with A/B Switching and In-Line Patch Access (PSM-02)
This PS module operates similarly to the PSM-01 by providing patching, switching, and switch
status indicatio n, e xcept it does no t cont ain LED statu s indi cator s and alar m ci rcuitry. A detailed
circuit diagram of this module is shown in Figure 2-7.
This module provides A/B swit ching only. A simplified circuit diagr am of t his module is show n
in Figure 2-8.
The A/B switch activates the A/B relays. The A/B relays complete the channel between the DCE
and either DTE-A or DTE-B. The re lays also switc h in the interl ock jumper. Interlocking from
the control mod ule protects the user fr om accidentally switchin g common backup equip ment
onto two or more different data lines. The thre e classes of interlo ck groups available are:
1. Global Interlock: Groups 1 and 2 are global and may be extended to all chassis in a
system, using a 20-p in i nt er cha ssi s i nt er loc k cable. W it h t hi s gr ouping, all modules having
a jumper placed on group 1 make up one group, and all modules with a ju mp er on gr oup 2
make up the other group. Interchassis interlock cables must be installed between chassis.
Each module interlock group may have no more than one jumper installed at one time.
2. Horizontal Interlock: Groups 3 and 4 are horizontal and they include only modules in the
individual chassis. With this grouping, all modules having a jumper placed on group 3
make up one group and all modules with a jumper on group 4 make up the other group.
These groupings do not extend out of the chassis and are not affected by the interchassis
interlock cable. Each module interlock group jumper block may have no more than one
jumper installed at a time.
3. Vertical Interlock: The vertical in terl ock ju mper po siti on is la beled V. Placi ng a jump er in
this position interlocks all modules in the same slot location in other chassis having a
jumper instal led on the came V position. Interch assis interlock c ables must be inst alled
between chassis. The interchassis interlock cable is a 20 position ribbon cable (4WC-03)
with a 20-pin connector for each chassis. Each module interlock group jumper block may
have no more than one jumper installed at a time.

8TEST MODULE (PSM-12)
Test Module PSM-12 provides the user with RS-232/V.24 interface capabilities, status
indicators for eight (8) leads and alarm conditions. A simplified block diagram illustrating the
test module connections is shown in Figure 2-11. Two female RS-232/V.24 TEST ports, located
on the rear of the test module, are available for connecting the test equipment. Another female
RS-232/V.24 port and a patch jack are located on the module front panel. All four connectors
are hardwi red in paral lel.
The eight RS-232/V.24 circuit leads having LED indicators are: TD; RD; DCD; SQ; RTS; CTS;
DSR; and DTR. When a monitored circuit lead is active (signal present), the associated LED
indicator turns on (only while the signal is present). The colors and signal definitions for the
applicable LED status indicators are detailed in Table 2-4.
An adjustable alarm circuit with associated LED (ALM), is provided to inform the user when a
preselected alarm condition exists on one of the monitored leads. Each monitored lead has a
jumper connection to the alarm circuit control logic. The alarm is user selectable for any one of
the eight leads. The RS-232/V.24 interface signal leads are defined in Tab le 2- 3. The alarm
circuit control logic supplies the alarm signal to the control unit and an alarm indicator.
This logic is also controlled by the RST (Reset) touch switch, toggle switch OFF (LED off,
audible alarm off), ALM (LED and audible alarm on), LED (LED on, audible alarm off), and
rotary switch DLY (alarm time delay setting). The alarm may be automatically reset if the
automatic alarm reset jumper is in place. Alarm delay settings are shown in Table 2-5. After an

A power supply unit is used with the PS Chassis. The PSW-000001 or PSW -000003 is used when
input power is 90 to 240 VAC. The block diagram of the power supply is shown in Figure 2-15.
The ADC V.35 PatchSwitch makes a v ailable four modules, four con v ersion boa rds and the n ecessary
conv ersion pa tchcords for use with the 34- pin “V.35 Interface” data communications hardw are.
The units are designed to be compatible with the RDC-01, RDC-02, PSC-01, and PSC-02
standard PatchSwitch chassis. The V.35 modules utilize grey front panels so they can be mixed
with other interfaces and still be identified a V.35 circuits. The modules provide monitor and
patch access in the Serial Binary Data Interchange (SBDI) portion of data communications
circuit. Some modules also provide local and remote alarming as well as signal status
indication. A more detailed description of each module is given in Tab le 3- 1. The SBDI is
typically found between the MODEM (DCE) and the TERMINAL/COMPUTER (DTE). A
single circuit requi res one module and one conversi on board which conne cts betw een DTE-A or
DTE-B and DCE. Switching takes place between DTE-A and DTE-B to connect to DCE. As an
alternative to the V.35 conversion boards, V.35 cables using DB-25 connectors can be used to
attach easily to the RDC-01/PSC-01 and RDC-02/PSC-02 PatchSwitch chassis.
PSM-16PatchSwitch Module provides monitor, patch access and A/B Switching for DTE-A or
DTE-B and DCE plus V.35 LED signal indication and circuit loss alarming.
PSM-17PatchSwitch Module provides monitor, patch access and A/B Switching for DTE-A or

The V.35 PatchSwitch modules can be identified by their gray color. A conversion board must
be installed onto the chassis, as shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2, before the V.35 module
assembly is placed into service. If the conversion boards are not practical, user cables can be
manufactured by local sources to terminate the standard V.35 interface into a DB-25 connector
which can then be connected directly to the RDC-01/PSC-01 or RDC-02/PSC-02 chassis.
Standard pin arrangements for the V.35 interface to the DB-25 connector can be found in
Ta bl e 3 -2 . As defined further in this guide, optional leads are available on the conversion board
to allow for any six of the normally unused leads on V.35 to be passed throug h the module. This
option allows the user to configure to his specific needs.
Once the V.35 module is in service, it's use is the same as a regular PatchSwitch module. Test
equipment such as a data line monitor can be connected to the V.35 patch Interface modules or the
LED/Alarm options on the PSM-18 can be used as diagnostic functions with the PS M-17 using
patch cords from one other module to the other. The DTE-A/DTE-B ports on the PSM-16 and
PSM-17 can be used to provide bridge monitor on activ e circuits or patching into the “C” port can
split the circuit and isolate towards the DCE leaving the “A ” and “B” ports to isolate towards
DTE-A and DTE-B respectively. The PSM-18 and PSM-19 interface modules can be used to
attach to test equipment, patch in stand-by spare equipment, to be used as trunking jacks, or in the
case of the PSM-18 LED/ALARM unit it can be used a diagnostic unit with the PSM-17.
Several optional i tems shown in Table 3-3 should be considered before any PSM-16 or PSM-18
modules are placed into service. Factory settings are noted, refer to Figure 3-3 table for item

Are any of the normally unassigned leads required by this circuit?
(See Table 3-5)
The Pin pattern and identification is as noted above for the fifteen (15) leads unused from the V.35 connector
and the six (6) leads unused through the patchi ng function. Any one of the fifteen leads to a maximum of six
may be routed through the patch mechanism by means of straps if the user desires to bring more than the 19
lead V.35 interface through the patch mechanism. The procedure to follow to add a lead th rough the patch
mechanism is simple. Assume you desire to bring lead EE through the patch mechanism on a DTE-A, DTE-B,
and DCE module. Simply add a strap from E2 to EE on each of the three connector units on the FFM-01 or
FFM-02 Subboard and lead EE is now routed through the patch mechanism and also switched from A to B if
that action occurs. The procedure for the interface modules is the same. A strap added from E2 to EE on the top
port will cause EE to appear at the top port only. If it is to appear also at the bottom port the additional strap
must also be added there.

connected to the chassis.
If proceeding with an upgrade of a current installation it may be necessary to remove any cable
wrap, clamps or cord form any existing cable brackets to allow room for installation of the
conversion boards. Be careful not to damage cables or connectors in the process.
Working at the back of the equipment bay, install an FFM-01 or FFM-02 conversion board, as
appropriate, into a slot at the right-most vacant position of the chassis. Conversion boards can
only be installed in positions 1 through 16. Proceed as follows. While facing the back of the
chassis, hold the conversion board in a vertical position with the 34-pin connectors towards
yourself and the 25-pin connectors away for you. Place the three 25-pin connectors into the
three 25-pin mating connectors on the chassis and press firmly into place. Tighten the two
mounting screws per connector to assure a good connection.
The FF-01 or FF-02 conversi on board is meant t o convert the 17t h posit ion of t he RDC-01/P SC01 or RDC-02/PSC-02 PatchSwitch chassis to be used with the PSM-18 or PSM-19 interface
modules. In addition, this module can also convert position 1 to 16 of the RDC-01/PSC-01
chassis to be used as interface module positions. If position 1-16 of a RDC-02/PSC-02 chassis
must be converted to interface module positions, then the FF-02 must be used.
Bring the end of the DCE cable in from the side of the equipment rack and connect it to the
bottom connector on the conversion board. Form the cable neatly away from the board along an
equipment rack cable bracket towards the equipment rack upright. Be sure that the conversion
board does not have any side pressure from the cable in any direction. Using cable straps or
appropria te cord, fasten the cable to the cable bracket as app licable.
Bring the end of the “B” DTE cable in from the other side of the equipment rack and connect it
to the middle connector on the conversion board. Form the cable neatly away from the
connector sub-boa rd al ong an equipmen t r ack c able b rac ket towards t he equ ipme nt ra ck upri ght.
Be sure that the conversion board does not have any side pressure from the cable in any
direction. Using cable straps or appropriate cord fasten the cable to the cable bracket. Bring the
end of the “A” DTE cable in from the the side of the equipment rack and connect it to the top
connector on the conversion board. Form the cabl e neat ly a w ay fr om t he conv ersi on board along
an equipment rack cable support bracket towards the equipment rack upright. Install additional
conversion boards using the directions above. Work from the right side of the chassis towards
the left (as see n from the rear). T his gives room to the left in w hich to work and makes for a
much neater installation.
Carefully install the PatchSwitch V.35 module into the chassis making sure that the 96-pin DIN
connector on the front of the unit engages the connector in the chassis. Tighten the hold-down
screws on the front of the module
Plug the power transformer removed earlier back into its socket or turn on the power supply to
re-establish power for the units.
The hold down scr e ws on t he cabl e plugs for th e ADC V.35 Connector Subb oar d are
Note:
a standard NSC 6/32 t hread. Some plugs ar e different. They look similar but have different
pin assignments. Make sure your plugs are compatible before connecting them.
Replacement connectors can be fashioned using the above parts list. This list does not
imply that only these parts will fit. Compatible parts may be available from other vendors.
The ADC PatchSwitch X.21 consists of several modules and backplane adapters that allow you
to conveniently manage your X.21 networks. These modules and adapters are designed to be
compatible with the standard PatchSwitch chassis RDC-01, RDC-02, PSC-01, and PSC-02.
They can be mounted in the same chassi s with the P atchS witch RS-2 32 modules. Once the X.21
module is in place its use is similar to the standard PatchSwitch module. Each module that
requires power is powered by the chassis power supply. Portions of the Patch Modules are
covered by U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,941 and corresponding foreign Letters Patent.
The ADC PatchSwitch X.21 modules provide monitor and patch access to X.21 leads. Some
modules also provide local and remote alarming, testing, or status indicators.

port. In parallel wi th thi s port ther e is a female 15-pi n D-sub c onnect or tha t may be c onnect ed to
external equipment. LED signal status indication, call request and termination time-out
alarming, and six quiescent state indicators are also provided on this module. A block diagram
representing the PSM-832002 module is shown in Figure 4-5.
Three 15-pin D-sub connect or s, l ocated on the back of this backplane adapter provide a point of
connection for customer cabling. The top two rear connectors are female and the bottom one is
male. Three male 25 pin D-sub connectors on the front of the backplane adapter provide
connections to the RDC-01/PSC-01 PatchSwitch chassis backplane.
2.7PSO-836001 Backplane Adapter Module
Three 15 pin D-sub connectors, located on the back of this backplane adapter provide a point of
connection for customer cabling. The top two rear connectors are female and the bottom one is
male. Three 25 pin D-sub connectors on the front of the backplane adapter provide connections
to the RDC-02/PSC-02 PatchSwitch chassis backplane. The top two front connectors are male
and the bottom one is female.
2.8PSO-839002 Backplane Adapter Module
This adapte r is used with the In terface or Test/Status modu le only and is always installed in
chassis slot 17. Two female 15-pin D-sub connectors, located on the back of this backplane
adapter provide a point of connection for customer cabling. Two male 25 pin D-sub connectors
on the front of the backplane adapter provide connections to slot 17 of any PatchSwitch chassis
backplane.
All X.21 PatchSwitch modules with A/B switching are capable of switching either rear port A
or rear port B to rear port C. This switching is accomplished using the front panel toggle switch
in conjunction with an enable signal from the backplane. See Figure 4-6 for a block diagram
showing the switching configuration.
The A/B switch activates the A/B relays. The A/B relays complete the X.21 circuit between the
DCE and either the DTE-A or DTE-B. The relays also switch in the interlock group. A and B
status indicators show the DTE-A and DTE-B selection. Switch Interlocks prevent you from
accidentally switching two modules to the same spare or equipment. The A/B interlock jumper
Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 allow for connection of each module to one of four different groups. The
A/B interlock Group V allows each module on a chassis to be interlocked vertically with
corresponding modules on any chassis connected with an interchassis interlock cable (catalog
number 4WC-03).
3.3Monitor, Patch, and Access Modules
These modules contain three front panel jacks for easy access to the X.21 data circuit, and rear
connectors for attaching the module to the digital circuit. The rear connectors are provided to
interface with the computers communications network. A portion of the rear connector is used
to attach the X.21 circuit from the DTE (a computer or front end processor). The remainder of
the rear connector is used to attach the circuit to the DCE (a modem).
In the normal mode (no patch cords inserted into the top or middle front jacks), the X.21 circuit
has a through-path into and out of the Patch module. In the normal mode, the insertion of a
patch cord connector into the top or middle front panel jack allows the entire circuit to be
monitored with no interruption of the signals. In the patch mode, insertion of a patch cord
connector into the bottom front panel jack breaks the circuit and permits monitoring of only the
DCE portion of the data circuit.
The six X.21 circuit leads having LED indicators are: T, C, R, I, S, and B. When a monitored
circuit lead is active (signal present), the associated LED indicator turns on only while the
signal is present. The colors and signal definitions for the applicable Led Status indicators
shown in Table 4-1.
Two time-out alarm functions are provided.
Alarm A Monitors the time between the raising of C lead and the raising of the I lead during
Alarm B Monitors the time between the dropping of the I lead and the dropping of the C lead
The alarm is indicated by the amber LED and/or an audible alarm located in the chassis. Both
alarms have independent variable delays and can be turned off.
The three position toggle switch located on the front panel allows the following choices:
ALMVisual and Audible alarms on.
OFFVisual and Audible alarms off.
LEDVisual alarm only.
3.6Alarm Reset
the call request phase. If this value is greater than the user selected interval, the A
alarm LED and/or audible alarm is activated.
or the dropping of the C lead and the dropping of the I lead, during the call clear
phase. If this value is greater than the user selected interval, the B alarm LED and/or
audible alarm is activated.
To reset the alarm on the PSM-832002 push the switch marked RST. To reset alarm on all other
alarm modules touch the the pads marked RST. If alarm condition has not cleared, the alarm
will time-out, and alarm will be tripped again.
The PSM-832002 Test/Status module contains two eight position rotary switches on the front
panel. One for the A alarm delay and one for the B alarm delay. All other modules contain one
eight position rotary switch on the front panel. This s witch is use d to set the B alarm delay. The
A alarm time delay is set using a 16 position rotary switch located on the PC board.
Time delay values are fixed. The switch positions are time values ranging from none to 105.9
sec. nominal. Time delay settings (8 position switch) are denoted on the front panel by varying
length arcs aroun d th e rotary switch, the lo nger the arc — the greater the time del ay. Time delay
settings (16 position switch) are denoted on the switch by numbers and letters. Time delay
values are listed in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3.
The alarm can be disabled by moving the jumper labeled ALMB/ALMB on the module board.
The alarm is enabled when the jumper is in the ALMB position. The alarm is disabled when the
jumper is in the ALMB position.
Six LEDs located on the front panel indicate the presence of the quiescent states found in
Table 4-4. When the module is powered up and not connected to a X.21 circuit LED number
one will be on indicating a state one condition. This is like an idle state on a live X.21 circuit.

6.1Interlock Jumper Installation
If an interlock option is desired for the system, the proper jumper must be connected in each A/B
Switch Module befor e installation in the chassis. Each A /B switch module has five interlock
positions. One jumpe r position for each of four interlock g roups labeled 1 through 4 and on e
vertical interlock group labeled V. See Figure 4-7 for the location of the jumpers on the module.
+12 volts dc
Interlocking is used to protect the user from accidentally switching a common backup piece of
equipment onto two or more di fferent data l in es. Thi s i s acc ompl ished by allowing only the fi rst
module in that group to switch. The remaining modules remain in the “normal state” or the “A”
position. Modules in the “B” position once switched to “A” will remain in the “A” position.
The three classes of interlock groups available are:
1. Global Interlock: Groups 1 and 2 are global and may be extended to all chassis in a
system, using a 20-p in i nt er cha ssi s i nt er loc k cable. W it h t hi s gr ouping, all modules having
a jumper placed on group 1 make up one group, and all modules with a ju mp er on gr oup 2
make up the other group. Interchassis interlock cables must be installed between chassis.
Each module interlock gr oup j umper bl ock may have no more than one jumper ins ta ll ed a t
one time.
2. Horizontal Interlock: Groups 3 and 4 are horizontal and they include only modules in the
individual chassis. With this grouping, all modules having a jumper placed on group 3
make up one group, and all modules with a jumper on group 4 make up the other group.
These groupings do not extend out of the chassis and are not affected by the interchassis
interlock cable. Each module interlock group jumper block may have no more than one
jumper installed at a time.
3. Vertical Interlock: The vertical in terl ock ju mper po siti on is la beled V. Placi ng a ju mper in
this position interlocks all modules in the same slot location in other chassis having a
jumper installed on the same V position. Interchassis interlock cables must be installed
between chassis. The interchassis interlock cable is a 20 position ribbon cable (4WC-03)
with a 20-pin connector for each chassis. Each module interlock group jumper block may
have no more than one jumper installed at a time.
6.2Alarm Jumper Installation

installed in any of the other chassis slots.
Carefully install PatchSwitch X.21 modules into the chassis making sure connectors on the
bottom edge of the module engage the slots on the mother board as appropriate. Using a #3
Phillips head screwdriver tighten hold down screws on the front of the modules.
6.6Cable Connections
The next step is to attach the data communications network to the rear connectors.
The top two rear X.21 connectors are provided for the attachment of the DTE portion of the
circuit. Bring the end of the “B” DTE cable in from one side of the equipment rack and connect
it to the middle connector on the adapter. Bring the end of the “A” DTE cable in from one side
of the equipment rack and connect it to the top connector on the adapter.
The bottom rear X.21 connector is provided for the attachment of the DCE portion of the
circuit. Bring the end of the DCE cab le in fr om the ot her sid e of the equipment rack an d connec t
it to the bottom connector.
Form the cables neatly away from the modules along the back of the chassis towards the
equipment rack upright. Use cable ties as necessary to secure cables in place.
Plug in the power supply or turn power on to establish power for the modules.
This section contains the information necessary to prepare a facility for installing the
PatchSwitch hardware.
2SPACE REQUIREMENTS
ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 1999 • Section 5: Site Preparation
All PatchSwitch chassis are normally installed into existing standard 19-inch racks (or in 23inch racks with appropriate adapters). Each chassis occupies a rack space of 7 inches in height
and 12 inches in depth.
Prior to installation, select the rack positions in the system where the chassis and other units of
PatchSwitch equipment are to be located.

After each PS chassis is installed, perform the Chassis Power Supply Connection Procedure in
this section of the manual.
ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 1999 • Section 6: Insta llatio n
1.2PatchSwitch Module Installation Procedure
Modules may be instal led be fore o r aft er the ch assis is in st alled in the rack. If the modul es ar e to
be installed after the chassis is installed, disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet
before performing the following procedure.
Warni n g : A potential shock hazard exists whenever making adjustments inside any electrical
device. Use extreme caution when approaching these areas. Ensure that the power to the rack
and chassis is off. To avoid personal injury and/or equipment damage, the power to the chassis
must remain off until all installation and connection procedures are completed.
1. Select the appropriate strapping options as determined by your application and described
in Section 2, Section 3, and Section 4 of this manual.
2. Grasp the module by the front panel and insert it into the selected chassis position.
3. Slide the module into the guides until the unit is firmly seated.
4. Using a #3 Phillips-head screwdriver, secure the module to the chassis by tightening the
two captive front panel screws.
5. Repeat the previous procedure for each module to be installed.

The blank panel is installed onto the chassis by positioning the blank panel over the empty
chassis slot pos iti on and s ecu ring i t to the ch assis us ing th e tw o ca ptive f ront p anel Ph illi ps- head
screws.
1.4Chassis Power Supply Connection Procedure
Each PS chassis requires a separate power supply. The ac power supplies (PSW-000001 and
PSW-000003) are equipped with six-foot line power cords and six-foot dc power cords.
The dc power cord contains five wires terminated with a female connector that plugs into a
connector on the rear of the PS chassis.
The backplane connector and the dc power cord are “keyed” to prevent improper installation.
See Figure 6-1 for power supply connector location.
These steps must be performed as indicated (first a then b). Performing step b first
Note:
will prevent the power supply from operating (no output voltage).
1. Connect the dc power supply cord female connector onto the chassis power supply male
connector.
2. Connect power supply to input power source.
War n in g : To avoid possible personal and equipment damage, the power supply must not be
installed until all installation procedures are completed.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each chassis and power supply.
The back of each PS chassis (see Figure 6-1) contains 50 standard D-sub 25 pin connect ors use d
to interface PatchSwitch modules with a communications network. In the top row, beginning at
the right in the illustration, the first 16 connectors (DTE A) are for connecting PatchSwitch
modules to Computer ci rcui ts via c ustomer suppli ed ca bles. The 16 connec tors i n th e cente r row

The top and bottom connectors of slot 17 are usually connected to test equipment so that a DTE
or DCE may be connected to the test equipment via patch cord and the interface module.
With the PSR-06 RS-422/RS-232 Interface Converter Module installed in the PatchSwitch
chassis (slot pos it ion 17), the top connec tor of slot position 17 provides the con nec ti on point for
the RS-232 control device (modem, computer, CRT or RCU). Two 9-pin female type D-sub
connectors on the backplane of the chassis provide for CM interface with another PS chassis.
The bottom connector of slot position 17 is not used in this case. An eight position
programming plug is provided on the PSR-06 Interface Converter printed circuit board for
assigning the PatchSwitch assembly as a DTE or DCE device.
When system is directly connected to a terminal or computer the PSR-06 Interface Converter
module should have the programming plug in the DCE position (see Figure 6-2). A straight
through cable can then be used to connect the top connector of slot 17 to the terminal of
computer. When system is connected to a modem, the PSR-06 Interface Converter module
should have the programming plug in the DTE position. Make sure the programming plug is
inserted into the correct DIP Socket, DTE or DCE as appropriate. There is also a two position
Berg Strap used on the Berg Posts labeled DSR. In DTE mode, position the strap on the
bottom and center post and in DCE mode position the strap on the top and center post. Refer to

2CONTROL MODULE AUTOFALLBACK JUMPER INSTALLATION
When the autofallback option is selected, the proper jumper must be installed on the CM
(Figure 6-4) before the module is installed in the PS chassis. Each CM has a group of four
jumper select io ns l o cate d on th e si de of t h e c irc ui t b oa rd . Re fe r t o Figur e 6- 5 for an illustration
of the autofallback jumpers.
If the jumper is installed in the “AUTO SW B” position, an alarm condition on any module
within the PS chassis will cause switching to the “B” position from the “A” position. Similarly,
if the jumper is in the “AUTO SW A” position, an alarm condition will cause a switch, to the
“A” position from the “B” posit ion. If the automatic sw itching is not desire d, leave the jumper
in the “STORE” position.
When installed, the autofallback selection does not override the CM software selection. That is,
the software can change the switch position when the jumper strap is installed. However, if the
alarm condition persists, the autofallback feature switches it back.
Caution: Do not jumper both the “AUTO SW A” and “AUTO SW B” at the same time. This
type of installation causes the circuits to switch positions every time an alarm condition is
sensed, and can cause “hunting” if both A and B alarm persists
.
It is recommended that systems configured for autofallback have all modules strapped for auto
alarm reset.

4PS MODULE JUMPER INSTALLATION
4.1Interlock Jumper Installation
If an interlock option is desired for the system, the proper jumper must be connected in each A/
B Switching Module before it is installed into the chassis. Each A/B Switching Module has five
interlock jumper positions. One jumper position for each of four interlock groups (labeled “1”
through “4”) and one vertical interlock group (labeled “V” or “Store”). Refer to Figure 6-7 for
the location of the jumpers on the module.
Interlocking is used to protect the user from accidentally switching a common backup piece of
equipment onto two or more di fferent data l in es. Thi s i s acc ompl ished by allowing only the fi rst
module in that group to switch. The remaining modules remain in the “normal state” or the “A”
position. Modules in the “B” position once switched to “A” will remain in the “A” position.
The three classes of interlock groups available are:
1. Global Interlock: Groups 1 and 2 are global and my be extended to all chassis at an
installation, u si ng a n i nte rchassis interl ock cable. W i th this grouping, a ll modul es having a
jumper on group 1 make up one group, and all modules wit h a j umper on group 2 make up
the other group (providing interchassis cables are installed between chassis).
2. Horizontal Interlock: Groups 3 and 4 are horizontal and they include only modules in the
individual chas sis. With thi s grou ping, al l modules i n a cha ssis ha ving a jumper on group 3
make up one group, and all modules having a jumper on group 4 make up the other group.
These groupings do not extend out of the chassis and are not affected by the interchassis
cable.
3. Vertical Interlock: The vertical interlock jumper position is labeled with the letter “V”or
the word “Store”. Installing a jumper on this position interlocks all modules in the same
slot location in other chassis having a jumper on the same (V) position. (Providing an
interchassis interlock cable is in place between the chassis). The interchassis interlock
cable is a 20 position ribbon cable with a 20-pin connector for each chassis.
The interlock group jumper block must only have zero or one jumper installed. Never try to
have more than one interlock jumpe r on any module.
4.2Alarm Jumper Installation
The alarm jumper must be installed before the module is installed in the chassis. Each module
with the alarming feature has eight alarm jumper positions. Refer to Figure 6-7 for the location
of the jumpers. Select the signal whose absence triggers the alarm, and place the jumper in the
appropriate position. Only one signal may be selected for alarm detection.
The automatic reset jumper must be installed before the module is installed in the chassis. Each
module with the alarming feature has automatic reset and store jumper contacts in the lower
right corner of the component side as shown in Figure 6-7. The alarm automatically reset s whe n
the jumper is on the left set of contacts. The jumper may be stored (i.e., the alarm does not
automatically reset) on the right set of contacts.

1GENERAL
The PS equipment functions i n eit her patching or switchin g meth ods of ope rat ion. The patching
operations includ e int rusiv e moni tor and interface whil e the switching operati ons are performed
either locally or remotely.
2PATCHING — IN-LINE ACCESS MODULES
In patching operations, patch cord connections are made through the front of the PS equipment
modules. Those areas to be patched (communications network equipment) are connected to
connectors on the rear of the PS equipment chassis. Refer to Figure 6-1 in Section 6 of this manual.
All patch cords for use on this equipment ar e listed i n Table 1-2 in Section 1 of this manual.
2.1Monitor Patching
Monitoring patching is performed by inserting a patch cord into the MONITOR jack of a PS
equipment module. This provides a bridge connection to the RS-232/V.24 circuit, and this
connection induces no interruption of the circuit. Now that the data circuit has been accessed,
the other end of the patch cord can be inserted into the jack of an Interface Module that has test
equipment attached to it. This monitor function can also be accomplished by patching a
monitoring device (e.g., data line monitor) d irectly into the desired M ONITOR jack cir cuit.
2.2Intrusive Patching
Intrusive patching is used to perform a restoral function on a failed component, to make a
substitution of a different device, or to reroute a communications path. The patching function is
activated by inserting a patch cord into either the COMPUTER or MODEM jacks of a PS
equipment module. This action splits the circuit and routes the signals through the patch cord.
The other end of the patch cord can then be inserted into another jack and in so doing, attach a
different device. For example, it has been determined that a particular circuit has a bad modem.
A patch cor d is th e n in s erte d int o that C OM P UTE R ja c k, a nd th e o th er e n d o f t h e pa tc h c or d is
connected to the jack of a spare modem. This patching function has split the original circuit,
rerouted the computer si gna ls t hr ough t he patch cord, and fin al ly co nnected the spare modem to
the original data communications circuit.
Tandem operation of computers and/or modems is not recommended; and consequently, patch
cords should not be used to connect a COMPUTER jack to another COMPUTER jack or
MODEM jack to a MODEM jack.

When the module is in the normal (A) state the upper port provides patch cord access to the
upper “D” subminiature connector on the chassis rear panel, thus providing a “monitor”
function. When the module is in the “B” or “sub" state, this port provides direct test access to
the off-li ne device.
The middle port functions in a similar manner for the middle connector on the chassis rear
panel. When in the “B” state, monitor access; “A” state, test access to the off-line “B” device.
The lower port provides intrusive access to the lower connector on the chassis backplane.
Insertion of a patch cord in this port, regardless of switch status, breaks the circuit and connects
the patchc ord to the co mmon (DCE) devi ce.
4INTERFACE MODULE
When an Interf ace Mo dule is used, i t is co nnec ted b y inser ting a patch c ord into t he MONIT OR,
COMPUTER, or MODEM jacks of a PS equipment module. This provides the access to these
jacks to insert test equipment. The computer and modem circuits are split so their operation is
affected. This is not true in the case of the monitor circuit. Test equipment, in this case, is
connected to the chassis rear interface connector(s).
4.1Test Module
When a test module is used, i t is co nnec ted in the communi catio ns l ine to access te st equi pment.
This is first accomplished by inserting a patch cord between either the MONITOR,
COMPUTER, or MODEM patch jacks of a PS equipment module and the test module patch
jack. The test module pr o v ide s t wo RS-232/V.24 ports for con nec ti ng t est eq uip ment on t he r ea r
of the module. Refer to Section 2 for a detailed functional description of the test modules.
All PS module switching operations are performed in conjunction with the Control Module
(CM). The Control Module is used to enable the switching of all the modules contained in the
PS chassis. Modules in a PS chassis can be switched individually or all at one time (bank
switching). The switches located on the individual modules and Control Module are listed in
Table 7-1.
A bank switching operation switches all of the A/B modules in a PS chassis to either the “A”
position or “B” position. Both individual and banking operations may be done either locally or
remotely.
Caution: The bank switching feature is not compatible with the group interlock feature. If no
module in an interlocked group is in the B state when a bank switch to the B state is initiated,
the first module in this group will switch to th e B state. Data may be lost w hen more than one
module is in the B state. If one module in an interlocked group is in the B state when a bank
switch is initiated, the rest of the modules in that interlock group do not switch to the B state;
consequently, the system maintains its integrity.

panel of the control module are termed:
1. A/B MASTER
2. ENABLE
All Switch Modules
Alarm Capability
3. ALARM RESET
6.1Interface Converter Module (PSR-06A)
The Interface Converter Module is used in conjunction with the Control Module to provide
compatibility between a PatchSwitch Control Module and an RS-232 control device (modem
computer, CRT or RCU). Only the first PS Chassis in a group needs to have a PSR-06A
installed.
6.2Single Channel Switching
To switch a PS module, the operator toggles the ENABLE switch to either off-center position
while simultaneously toggling the channel's A/B switch (located on the PS module) in the
desired direction. The channel switching operation does not require the operator to maintain the
toggled position of either switch while waiting for the module switch function to occur. Once
the toggling operation is performed, the circuitry senses the switch change and completes the
module switching operation upon receiving an internal timing signal.
Bank switching is performed by the operator toggling the A/B MASTER switch (located on the
Control Module) to either the A or B position and then toggling the ENABLE (directly below
the A/B MASTER switch) switch (off-center position). This operation causes all of the PS
chassis modules to switch to the channel (A or B) corresponding to the selection of the A/B
MASTER switch. To avoid a slight delay in the switching operation, the A/B MASTER switch
should be held in position (A or B) while toggling the ENABLE switch.
Bank switching starts with module 0 (slot l) and ends with PS chassis module 15 (slot 16). The
individual module A/B switches are disabled while the A/B MASTER switch is toggled in
either the A or B position.
6.4Reset Alarms
To reset the module alarms, the operator toggles the ALARM RESE T switch (located on the
Control Module) to either off-center position. If a constant alarm condition exists, the yellow
LED indicators for each module sensing an alarm remain lit and the audible alarm remains
activated, if enabled. I f a constant alarm condition no longer exists, toggling the ALARM RESET
switch extinguishes all of the module alarm LEDs (yellow) and silences the audible alarm.
The alarm reset funct ion c lears all the al arm ci rcuit s. An in di vi dual mod ule alar m circu it may b e
selectively reset by touching the two posts on the alarming module.
6.5DC Pulse Control Switching
The PatchSwitch Control Module is capable of Bank switching the PS chassis modules which
perform A/B switching by responding to dc voltage pulses received over the communications
channel fro m a remote device. In order to e nable dc pulse control, the remote control jumper
block must be set to the dc pulse control selection. Bank switching via (signal ground), +5V or
–5V to –48V dc to the corresponding lead (s ee Table 2-2 for pin assignments) for a minimum of
250 msec and should be removed within 1 sec after application since all other switching
functions are disabled during this time.
If a “switche d to” A dc voltag e level is applie d while a “swi tched to” B dc voltage
Note:
level is active, all modules will switch to the A position but will be restored to the B
position after the “switched to” A signal is removed, provided the “switched to” B signal
remains active.
As with front panel bank switching, all modules in the PS chassis will switch to the channel (A
or B) corresponding to the dc voltage applied per Table 2-2.
Bank switching starts with module 0 (slot 1) and ends with PS module 15 (slot 16). The
individual module A/B switches are disabled while the dc voltage is present.
ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 1999 • Section 7: Opera tion
6.6Remote Control Switching
The PatchSwitch Control Module is capable of controlling the PS chassis modules by
responding to commands received on the communicat ions cha nnel fr om a remote cont rol device
with the remote control jumper block in the RS-422 serial communications position. The CM
also monitors the status of the PS chassis module A/B switches and alarm conditions and
reports this information to the requesting remote control device via the same communications
channel.
There are three types of devices which can remotely control a PatchSwitch system:
1. ADC Model SSN-100589 software running on a personal computer (PC)
2. User’s terminal or computer
3. PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit (RCU)
The PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit (RCU) is described in a separate publication. Refer to
ADC Publication Number ADCP-50-302, PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit User Manual for
operating instruct io ns.
The following information enables the user to communicate between a PatchSwitch Control
Module (CM) and terminal or computer. This portion of the manual describes the ASCII
commands exec ute d by a terminal for perfor ming the swi tc hi ng and moni to ring functions of the
PS chassis modules.
6.7Remote Control Commands
Commands are issued by the remote control device to: l) select the desired PS chassis; 2)
perform the selected module(s) AIB switching operations; 3) request the status of the selected
chassis PS modules; 4) reques t the sel ecte d CM softw a re re v ision level; 5) en able/ disabl e alarm
reporting; 6) clear all alarm reporting conditions; and 7) de-select PS chassis.
6.8Command Conventions
Remote control devices must issue commands compatible to the CM software. When entering
commands on an ASCII keyboard, observe the following conventions.
String Entries.
string must contain a Carriage Return (CR) and a Line Feed (LF) character for a command
terminator. The CM command string buffer can hold up to forty (40) characters. This number
includes the CR/LF characters, terminating the command string.
All keyboard commands are entered in ASCII character strings. Each command
Backspace (con trol- H) and del ete- line (c ontrol -U) ch aract ers are re cogniz ed b y the CM soft war e
and are valid in the command string. There is no distinction between upper and lower case alpha
characters as the CM software converts all lower case alpha ch aracters to upper case (caps).
Parameter Entries
parameter separator may be any non-digit (0-9) character. There are no restrictions on the
number of blank character spaces or zero characters preceding (or leading) the parameter,
except for the 40 character buffer limit.
. Command parameters are usually separated by commas, although a
Non-digit and non- bla nk characters are r ecog n iz ed by the CM software as parameter s epar at o r s.
Therefore, two such consecutive characters (non-digit and nonblank) are recognized as a null
parameter. Each null parameter is replaced with a default value assigned by the CM software. If
the null parameter does not have a legal default value assigned to it, the CM issues an error
message to the remote control d evice.
6.9Command Flags
Two flags are used to inform the CM when to execute an incoming command. The two
command flags are:
1. Execute Flag
2. Echo Flag
Note:
SPK, SC, UNT) and the GO command. Command flags are applicable to the commands
(AB, IN, UP, REV, AL) issued to request switching, status or reset (clear alarms).
These flags DO NOT apply to select/ de-select PS chassis commands (TLK, CRT,
Execute Flag
. Any valid command string containing a pound sign (#) character causes the CM
to execute the command immediately. The “#” character may be located anywhere within the
command string and may appear as a parameter separator.
Echo Flag.
Any command character string containing the dollar sign ($) character causes the
CM to re-transmit the command string to the remote control device. This permits the operator to
review and verify the parameter selections previously entered and transmitted to the selected PS
chassis. If the parameters are valid, but incorrectly entered, the operator should re-enter the
command string.
When a command string contains “$” characters, the CM software saves the command. The
command remains stored in the CM until a GO command is recognized. When a GO command
is recognized, the software attempts to execute the command string received (currently stored)
just prior to GO command. If the command is invalid, an error message is returned to the
sending device. If the character string is a valid command, the actions defined by the command
are executed. After the command is executed, the command is erased by the system software.
Any subsequent GO commands are ignored by the CM until the next command string is
received. The “$” character may be located anywhere within the command string and may
appear as a p arameter separator.
6.10 Command Interpretation
All valid commands must appear as the first characters in the string. Characters appearing after
the command (as well as any parameters) do not affect the CM command interpretation. For
example, the system would correctly interpret the GO command from the following character
strings:
ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 1999 • Section 7: Opera tion
In the next example, the system would not inter pret the GO command from th e strings:
bGO(b meaning blank)
GGO
As previously stated, commands may be entered in either upper or lower case alpha characters.
Case has no effect on the CM interpretation.
6.11 Command Responses
Whenever an activated (selected) PS chassis receives a command string, the CM responds by
sending one of the following character strings to the terminal (remote control device):
RDYxx
MSGxx
ERRxx, (error code)
The characters “xx” identify the chassis (CM) originating the response. The identification
characters “xx” have a value in the range of 00-07.
If the last command did not execute properly, or if the command parameters (or syntax) were
invalid, the CM returns an error message containing an error code. The error codes are defined
at the end of this section.
If a change in the PS chass is occurred after t he CM transmitted the last st atus information to t h e
remote control device, the CM responds with MSGxx.
If a temporary status change occurred and the status of the chassis returned to the
Note:
status last transmitted, the software does not indicate a change. That is, the CM does not
respond with MSGxx.
If neither an error condition or status change occurred since the chassis responded to the last
command, the CM responds with RDYxx.
6.12 Command Descriptions
The CM responds to ASCII character commands received on the connected communications
data channel. These commands provide the user with the following functional operations:
1. Select PS Chassis
2. Request Software Revision Level
3. Request Status
4. Reset Alarm Status
5. Enable/Disable Alarm Status Reporting (valid only with CRTxx)
The remote control device sele ct s a PS ch assis by issuin g an activation command cont aining the
chassis' identification number. Chassis' identificat i on number s ar e det er mi ne d b y t he settings on
the DIP switch located on the chassis CM. Refer to Section 6 for a description of the DIP switch
settings.
There are four different select commands acceptable by the CM. The first three select
commands identify the type of remote control device connected to the data communications
channel. The fourth command selects multiple chassis simultaneously. The four different select
commands are defined and used as follows:
TLKxx Command (talk) issued by a terminal user to select PS chassis xx
The identification "xx" must be characters in the range 00- l5.
Note:
SPKxx Command (talk) issued by the PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit to select PS chassis
“xx”.
CRTxx Command (talk) issued by the SwitchMate Intelligent Controller to select PS chassis
SC, xx, xx, xx xxCommand (Super Chassis) issued by a terminal user to select multiple PS
If the chassis identification (xx) number in the “TLK”, “CRT” or “SPK” command on a CM
matches the DIP switch settings, the identified chassis is selected. If the chassis identification
number in the command does not match the DIP switch settings on a CM, the chassis is deselected. When setting the CM DIP switches, the user must ensure that no two CMs have the
same identifier (address). Refer to the Installation Section, Section 6, for the DIP switch
selection procedure.
When the Super Chassis (SC) command is used to select multiple chassis, each selected chassis
identification (xx) number (parameter) is entered in a string using commas for parameter
separators. All other chassis in the system are de-selected.
6.14 GO Command
The GO command requests the selected PS Chassis to execute the command string that
immediately preceded the GO command. Normall y, the GO command is issued by the user after
the remote control device receives a RDYxx response. Once the pending command is executed,
subsequent GO commands received by the CM software are disregarded. The GO command
string is terminated with the CR/LF characters.
chassis simultaneously. Up to sixteen chassis may be selected (e.g., 00, 01,
02, 05, 07 or “all” for sixteen).
The REV command requests the CM to transmit the software revision level. The REV
command string must co ntain a command fl ag (# or $) prior t o the line feed ( LF) ch ar act er. If an
echo flag occurs in the command string, the user must issue a GO command before the PS
chassis will return the revision level message. When the remote control device sends the
“REV#CRLF” command string, the selected PS chassis respond with the following message:
Patch Remote Control Module
Revision x.y
Copyright ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
The characters x.y above represent the revision level of the software.
6.16 Request Status (UPdate Command)
The UPdate command requests t he CM to tr ansmit the status of al l t he modules contained in t he
selected PS chassis. The UPdate command string must contain a command flag (# or $) prior to
the string terminating CR/LF characters. If an echo flag ($) occurs in the UPdate command
string, the user must issue a GO command before the PS chassis status is transmitted.
6.17 Status Responses
Status is transmitted from the CM to the requesting remote control device in one of three
formats. The format transmitted depends upon the type of select command used when the
chassis is originally selected. If the “TLKxx” command activated the PS chassis, the status
response formats outlined in Table 7-2 through Tab le 7- 5 are returned. The status response
format associated with the "SPKxx" command is outlined in Table 7-6. The status response
format associated with the “CRTxx” command is described in the SwitchMate Switch Cluster
Controller Software Specification, ADCP-50-595.
6.18 TLKxx Format
When using the TLKXX format, control is by means of menu selections, module position
entries, and control keys. Each of these are described in the following paragraphs.
6.18.1 Menu Selection
When using the TLKxx format, most data entries are through menu selections. All menus are
described later in this section as part of the operating procedures.
The > symbol shown with each menu is the “invitation to type”, indicating that system is
waiting for operator input. Default key-ins are shown in parenthesis. A dash in parenthesis
indicates that there is no default selection for the menu.
(–) > — To enter a selection, type selection number and press RETURN.
(3) > — The number in parenthesis indi cat es the default se le cti on. To ente r a differen t s el ect ion,
type desired selection number and press RETURN. If number in parenthesis is the number of
the desired menu item, just press RETURN.
Some displays are instru ctions to enter the nume ri cal modul e pos it ions of A/B Switch Modules.
To enter module numbers enter each number, separated by commas (Example: 3, 7, 11, 14) and
press RETURN. The comma is always used as an input delimiter.
Two or more A/B Switch Module numbers in a sequence may be entered as a group by entering
the lowes t a nd h igh est numbers in the seq uenc e, s epa rated by a dash (Example: l-4). Ente ri ng 3 l5 will select modules 3 through 15. To enter all module numbers, only the letter A needs to be
entered.
6.18.3 Control Key
The Ctrl X key may be pressed at any time during TLKxx operation to return control to the
previous menu or deselect the chassis.
6.18.4 Status Displa ys
Various types of switch displays occur frequently in establishing switch configurations. These
are described in Table 7-2.

6.20 SPKxx Format
When a remote control device selects a PS chassis by issuing a “SPKxx” command, and then
requests status by issuing a “UP#” command, the CM responds with the condensed status
format. The condensed status format is a string of eight hexadecimal digits representing the
switch positions and alarm conditions for all 16 module slots contained in the selected PS
chassis. The “SPKxx” command is used by the RCU.
Each digit displayed is a hexadecimal code representing the switch position or alarm condition
for four PS modules. As shown in the example of Tab l e 7 -6 , the first four hexadecimal digits
“56A3” define the switch positions for all l6 modules. The first hexadecimal digit “5” is
decoded to it’s bin ary equiva lent which is “0101”. These four binary digits (bi ts ) a re ass ign ed t o
module addresses 15 (most significant) through 12. The response is read from left to right with
Module l5 assigned to the most significant bit in the hexadecimal code. A “0” bit indicates the
module is in the ‘A’ switch position and conversely, a “1” bit indicates the module is in the “B”
switch position.
The second, third and fourth hexadecimal digits (616, A16 and 316) are decoded to their binary
equivalents which are “0110”, “1010”, and “00l1”, respectively. These 12 bits are assigned to
module addresses 11 through 0 (least significant). In this example (56A3)16, modules 15, 13,
11, 8 6, 4, 3, and 2 are in the “A” switch position and modules 14, l2, 10, 9, 7, 5, l, and 0 are in
the “B” switch position.
The alarm st atus for the same l6 PS modules is displayed in the last four hexadec imal digits
“10l0”. The alarm status code is read in the same manner as the switch status code. The fifth
hexadecimal digit “1” is decoded to it's binary equivalent which is “000l”. These four binary
digits (bits) are assigned to module addresses 15 (most significant) through 12. A “0” bit
indicates a no alarm condition for the module and conversely, a “l” bit indicates the module
detected an alarm.
The second, third and fourth hexadecimal digits (0
, 116 and 016) are decoded to their binary
16
equivalents which are “0000”, “000l”, and “0000”, respectively. These twelve bits are assigned
to module addresses l l through 0 (least significant). Therefore, in this example (1010)
16
modules l2 and 4 indicate an alarm con dit ion is detected and the remaining mo dul es in dic at e no
alarm is de tected.
Tab le 7- 6 shows an example of the condensed status format received by a terminal when a
request for status is issued for PS Chassis 0l. This format is primarily used by the Control
Module to transmit status to the ADC Remote Control Unit (PSR-03) indicator display.
The IN (Initialize) command requests the CM to reset the alarm status in all the modules
contained in the selected PS chassis. The IN command string must contain a command flag (#
or $) prior to the string terminating characters. If an echo flag occurs in the IN command string,
the user must issue a GO command before the selected PS chassis resets the alarm reporting
status in the a ssociated modules. W hen the term inal sends t he “IN#CRL F” command , the CM
software resets all modules that are indicating an alarm condition.

6.22 Enable/Disable Alarm Status Reporting (AL Command)
The AL (ALarm) command enables or disables the alarm status reporting for any one or all
modules in the selected PS chassis. This command enables or disables the appearance of an
alarm condition in t he st atus r espons e fro m the CM. Actual ly, the reporting PS chassis may have
an alarm conditio n, b u t the softw a re ign ores t hi s condi tion when t he di sable functi on is in ef f ect .
The AL command is a software function only, and does not change the state of the hardware
when executed.
The AL command must contain a string of parameters for defining the action (enable or
disable), the type of c ir cui t c ard , the slot number where the act io n is to start and the slot number
where the action is to end. The AL command string parameters must be in valid syntax and
contain a command flag (# or $) prior to the string terminating characters. If an echo flag ($)
occurs in the AL command string, the user must issue a GO command before the PS chassis
enables or disables alarm status reporting for the selected module slots. If an execute flag (#) is
contained in the AL command string, the CM executes the AL command string immediately
when it is received.
The CM issues an error message if any parame ter value is not wit hin the specified range of
values. An error message occurs if the startslot value is greater than the endslot value.

Note:
Alarm conditions are always reported to a Remote Control Unit (PSR-03) and
terminal.

6.23 Request Switching (AB Command)
The AB command switches one or more modules contained in the selected PS chassis. This
command permits the operator to assign an alternate path for circuit operation. The AB
command also establishes the current position of the A/B switch for all selected modules.
The AB command contains a str ing of pa rame ters that define the modul e slot( s) sel ec ted and t he
switch position (acti on) for the module(s). The AB command string parameters must be in valid
syntax and contain a command flag ( # or $) prio r to the string terminatin g char ac ter s. I f an ec ho
flag ($) occurs in the AB command string, the user must issue a GO command to perform the
switching operations. If an execute flag (#) occurs in the AB command string, the CM executes
the AB command string imme diately when it is received.
Caution: When using Autofallback, the operator’s switching commands may be negated. That
is, modules in alarm state switch to the side specified by the jumper (A or B). This switching
operation is performed regardless of the operator’s commands
.

6.24 Request Super Chassis Command (SC Command)
The SC (Super Chassis) command is a quick-switch feature used by the remote control device
(terminal) to simultaneously select multiple chassis. This command is normally used in
conjunction with a subsequent AB or AL command to perform AB switching and/or to enable
alarm reporting after the chassis are selected. All chassis selected by the SC command, have their
status response “silenced”. That is, status is not provided by any chassis selected as a result of the
SC command. All chassis specified for selection in the command become activated immediately
upon receiving the SC command.
Only the AB, AL and IN commands are valid commands associated with the SC
Note:
command.
For example, when the command “SC,00,0l,02,04” is issued, chassis numbers (chassis
identifiers) 00, 01, 02 and 04 are selected. Similarly, if the command “SC,ALL ” is issued, all
chassis in the system are immediately selected and all status responses are silenced. Each chassis
specified by the SC command operates independently from all other chassis in the system.
All chassis in the system not selected by the SC command are de-selected.

6.26 Error Codes
The CM responds with an error message when the remote control device issues a command
containing a parameter syntax error or when the CM cannot prop-erly execute the last switch
command received. Error code ERR00,??? will be received when an incorrect syntax has been
entered. Check the command and try again. The error message has the format:
ERRxx,nn,yyyy
Where: ERR — indicates an error message.
The error codes are:
*15,l0yy AB card yy failed to switch, where yy is in the range 00-15.
* This error will occur if a bank switch command is sent to a switch chassis which is not fully
loaded with l6 switch modules.
xx = the PS chassis identification name in the range 00-07.
nn = the type of error (error code).
yyyy = the specific error.

6.27 Testing The Communications Line
Once a chassis is activated by a terminal, the user may test the quality of the communications
line transmission by sending a message (test data) or random character string to the selected
chassis. The test data string must include an echo command flag before sending the LF
termination character. All character strings entered containing a “$” sign character and
terminated with a LF, are returned to the issuing terminal. Because the selected PS chassis does
not act upon data received until a GO command is recognized, no error is indicated. If a GO
command is executed and the data previously sent to the chassis is invalid, the CM responds
with an error message.
If the test data contains a “#” character, an error message is immediately returned to the
originating remote control device.
