KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
1 KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
1.1 Introduction
This manual describes the Rackmount version of the KBU64. The
standalone KBU 64 has its own manual , Publicat ion 80-10100000. For
information on the command menus and parameters in the rackmount
version, you will need to refer to the standalone KBU 64 manual.
The rackmount KBU 64 i s a dual channel rack m ountable car d that uses
the KBU 64 Card Fram e as a host for power and managem ent via t he
Management Card. The rackmounted KBU 64 consi sts of a K BU card
and a rear interface card (card 'pair'), both cards connecting to a
motherplane for power source and management. Rear interface cards
may be ordered as X.21, V.24, or V.35 variants.
Power supply is via two switching supplies, which normally load share
when both are fitted.

Up to 13 KBU 64 card pairs m ay be fitt ed with either one or two power
supplies for resil ience. The 1st c ard slot is f or the Manager Card which
controls all cards within the rack via the KBU 64 polled management
system. If the Manager Card is not fi tt ed, m anagem ent of each c ard can
be perform ed by connecting a ter minal di rectly to t he command por t of
the rear int er face card. When fitted, the manager car d must be placed i n
slot 1, the left-hand most slot of the rack.

KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
The rackmount version of the KBU 64 is functionally the same as the
standalone in most respects, as it uses the same software. Theref ore
most of the sections of your KBU64 Manual manual (Publication 80-
10100000) relating to KBU 64's operation are relevant.
The rackmount card functionality differs in the following ways:-
• There is a single 15 way command port on each KBU 64 r ear card
for al l com mands and alar ms. T here is no separate alar m port or
alarm rel ay output on the cards. The com m and port has the sam e
function as the standalone 25 way command port.
• The Management Card (if fitted) provides a command port for
access to all KBU 64 cards in the rack.
• Standard physical interfaces are provided for X21 (15 way 'D'),
V35 (34 way MRAC), and V24 (25 way 'D'). Thi s means t hat the
V11/V28 selection links are not provided as they are no longer
necessary. A choice of 3 rear interface cards exist to provide
these interfaces.
• The interf ace LED's are as for the standalone ex cept that the Link
LED's have been omitted for front panel clarity.
• The ISDN cable is connected to the Rear I nterf ace Card by an RJ
45 style plug.
• Power indicati on f or each power supply i s present on the Manager
Card.

Wi th all 3 card types the USER ports are confi gured as physical DCEs,
the LINK ports as DTEs. The USER ports are fem ale and the LINK ar e
male for X21 and V24, both USER and LINK ports are female for V35.
All t hree card types use standard pin connection and so requi re 1 to 1
cables for connection to both user equipment and link equipment.

Manager Card
3 Manager Card
3.1 Introduction
The KBU 64 Manager Card is a discrete card for use with only
rackmount KBU 64 cards. Like the rackmount KBU 64, the Manager
Card also consists of a car d pair. The rear card provides a command
port for management of all KBU 64 cards within its rack.
The Manager Card must always be fitted in slot 1, the slot on the left
when viewing the rack from the front.
Important
When the manag er Card i s used you cannot use the command port
of any KBU 64 Rear Interface Card. With the Manager Card fitted
you must remove links 12, 13 and 14 on every KBU 64 Rear
Interface Card t o disconn ect the card command in terface. If yo u d o
not do this the signal flow to the Manager Card will be corrupted.

The front panel of the Manager Card has the following controls and
indicators:
• Tr ansmi t and r ecei v e dat a LED’s f or t he c om m and t erm i nal dat a

receive data circuits.
• AC power indication for each of the power supplies. These
LED’s are fed from the AC power sensing circuits from each
power supply.
• A lock out switch for each of the 13 channels. These are
provi ded to enable the user to set the poll num ber for indiv idual
KBU 64 cards. Once t he cards have been progr am m ed A LL t he
lockout switches must be set to enable the KBU 64s. The
lockout switches can also be used to isol ate a KBU card that i s
streaming unwanted alarms, so allowing other KBU cards to
have access from the Manager Card.
• An LED for each channel to indi cate which channel is activ ely
selected and in com municati on with the Manager Card. W hen
another KBU 64 card i s polled that card's LED will light and the
previously selected card LED will extinguish.

When i nstalling KBU cards in a rack m ake sure to configure the Rear
Interface Card straps correctly, depending on whether a Manager Car d is
fitted. Refer to KBU64 Manual (Publication 80-10100000) - Link Settings.
4.1 Manager Card Installation
When the KBU 64s are to be managed with a KBU 64 rack manager
card then the manager card must be placed i n slot 1, the slot on the far
left when viewing the rack from the front.
If t he Manager command port i s conected direct to a terminal /PC then
cable CAB0017 or CAB0018 is required (CAB0017 has a female
connector and CAB0018 a male connector at the terminal end). If
connected to a PSV port sharer please contact your Technical Support
for details.

4.2 Configuration Using a Manager Card
Wi th the Manager Card pair and all KBU card pai rs fi tted t he fi rst task is
to set the individual KBU 64 poll numbers. Once all the units are
installed and a suitable terminal connected to the rack manager card
comm and port, the lockout switches should be set to disabl e access to
all the KBU 64s except one (f or the sake of conv enience it is bett er to
configure the left most KBU 64 f irst). The individual pol l address can
then be set by typing the following commands:-
1> SET POLL xxx[CR]
where xxx represents the unique address in the range 001 to
999
Next, the KBU 64 card needs to be set for polled mode by typing
1> SET CONSOLE POLL[CR]
To check that the KBU 64 is responding, type
1> POLL xxx [CR]
where xxx represents the address that you have just set
The lockout switc h for thi s KBU 64 shoul d then be set to disable the KBU
64 and the next K BU 64 can be progr am m ed by enabl ing via t he l ock out
