Campus-REX2 RS Interface Card User Manual 1

Chapter 1 - Installing and Accessing the REX2

The Campus-REX2 can be installed into either a Campus-Star chassis
(paired with a Campus-RS or -HRS Line Unit) or into a Campus-RS or -HRS
desktop unit. The , installed into either, provides one end of a High-bit-rate
Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) transmission system. When connected to
another Campus-RS, Campus-HRS, Campus-T1®, Campus-768®, or
Campus-E1® desktop unit or a line unit in another chassis, the Campus
system transports digitized voice, data, and video signals over existing copper
wire at an HDSL rate specified by the user from a range of rates up to 4.608
Mbps.

When the Campus-REX2 is installed in a Campus-HRS desktop unit or with
a Campus-HRS line unit (or older), only T1, E1, an d 768 Mbps data r ates are
supported.

INSTALLING THE CAMPUS-REX2

The following sections describe how to install the Campus-REX2 RS
Interface Card into either a:

• Campus deskt op unit on page 1-3

• Campus-Star chassis on page 1-4

Ensure that the Campus-REX2 is installed into a Campus-RS
or Campus-HRS desktop unit or into a Campus-Star chassis
with a Campus-RS or Campus-HRS line unit only. The
Campus-REX2 will not operate if it is installed in an earlier
version of these Campus products.

Ensure that you read important information on surge
protection for HDSL line insta llation in the line u nit or desktop
unit manual before installing the Campus-REX2 interface
card.

For information about compatibility between the Campus-REX2 and other
Campus pro ducts, refer to “Product Compatibility” on page 136.
For information about products that comprise a Campus system, refer to

“Compositi on of a Campus-RS System” on page 120.

Chapter 1 - Installing and Accessing the REX2

Installing into a Desktop Unit

Install the Campus-REX2 interface card into a Campus-RS or Campus-HRS
desktop unit before you install the desktop unit (install power and HDSL
cables). Install the Campus-RS desktop unit using th e ins tr uctions in the
Campus-RS Desktop Unit User Manual.

Ensure power is off to the desktop unit before you install the
Campus-REX2. Installing the card with the power on may
cause damage to the desktop unit, the card, or to both.

1 Ensure that the desktop unit is not connected to power.
2 Slide the Campus-REX2 into the guide rails in the rear of the

desktop unit.

Chapter 1 - Installing and Accessing the REX2

Installing into a Campus-Star Chassis

The Campus-REX2 must be installed into a Campus-Star chassis first, before
you install the corresponding Campus-RS or Campus-HRS line unit.

The Campus-REX2 is not hot-swappable. Damage may occur
to the Campus-REX2, the line unit, or both if the line unit is
installed before you install the Campus-REX2.

1 Ensure that a line unit is not installed in the line-unit slot corresponding

to the slot where you will install the Campus-REX2.

2 Slide the Campus-REX2 into the guide rails of the selected slot at the rear

of the Campus-Star chassis.

3 Gently press the card into place until it is seated firmly in the mating

connector.

4 Secure the card in place using the two captive screws.
5 Install a Campus-RS line unit and connect it to an HDSL line using the

Campus-RS Line Unit User Manual. The line unit provides the DSL
connection for the interface card.

CONNECTING THE ETHERNET LINE

The 10 Base-T and 100 Base-Tx (10/100 Base-T) port on the rear panel of the
Campus-REX2 connects to a LAN through a hub, repeater, or another router.
The port autosenses both the 10/100B ase-T port rate and hal f- or full -duplex
mode of the network device to which it connects and matches the
configuration.

Use a straight-through Catego ry 5 cable to connect the Ethernet por t. Set the
MDI/MDI-X switch to the appropriate position, dependent on the device to
which you are connecting.

1 Set the Campus-REX2 MDI/MDI-X switch to one of the following:

• MDI-X when connecting to

network equipment such as
an Ethernet NIC in a PC or
any other equipment that has
an MDI port

• MDI when connecting to

Chapter 1 - Installing and Accessing the REX2

POWERING UP AND CHE CKING THE CONNECTION

Verify operating status after completing a full installation that includes
installing of the Campus-REX2 into a desktop unit or Campus-Star chas sis
and then completing the installation of the desktop unit or the Campus-Star
chassis (including the Line Unit):

1 Verify that the power cord is connected to the desktop unit or to the

Campus-Sta r chassis (if yo u have an AC pow er supply) and to an
external power source. Then verify the powerup of and HDSL
connection for that unit as specified in the appropriate user manual.

2 If the Campus-REX2 is installed in a desktop unit, press the power button

to On. The button is located on the back of the desktop unit.

3 Verify that the Link LED on the Campus-REX2 card is green. This

indicates that the 10/100Base-T connection is operating correctly. If the
Link LED does not light green, check the 10/100Base-T cabling
configuration.

If the link LED does not light green, check that the MDI/MDI-X switch
is set to the appropriate position.

Campus-REX2 RS Interface Card User Manual 7

Chapter 1 - Installing and Accessing the REX2

SETTING UP ACCESS TO THE CAMPUS UNIT

Configure a Campus system through any of the following:

• a PC connected to the desktop unit Console port

• a PC connected to the Campus-Star line unit Console port

• a telnet session to the Campus-REX2 over the Internet or the CMU in a

Campus-Star chassis

• the LCD menu and buttons on the desktop unit or CMU front panel

• StarGazer or a comparable EMS using SNMP

A Console port or telnet connection provides access to configuration menus
that provide options not available through the LCD menus. Depending on
your immediate configuration requirements, you may not need to set up a PC
immediately. Use the Console port or a telnet session when you:

• configure the Campus-REX2 as a router (only some bri dging and routing

configuration is available using the LCD)

• want to change the HDSL transmission rate and do not want to use the

LCD menus

• will set additional configuration options at this time, such as system or

REX2

• want to view performance statistics for the HDSL and 10/100Base-T

interfaces

If you want to set up a PC at this time, refer to “Setting Up Access to the

Campus Unit” on page 8.

Connecting to the Campus Unit Console Port

Use a terminal or a PC with terminal emulation software (b oth will be referred
to as PC) connected to the Console port to configure Campus system options,
manage the unit, and generate system r eports. The PC connects to the Cons ole
port on the desktop unit, the line unit (in a Campus-Star chassis), or the
CMU-810 installed in the Campus-Star chassis.

1 Connect the Console adapter into the standard 9-pin COM port on the PC

and tighten the attached screws.

2 Plug one end of the console cable into the PC’s COM port or console
