The EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
1.1 Product Description
The 2361 modem contains three main components:
•Main Module The modem's main module consists of CPU modem management hardware,
I/O control and memory, a custom composite XL Mux/Demux device (gate array), Loopback
Support Circuitry, Message Bus, Redundancy Interface Units, and Front Panel Indicators and
Switches.
•Electrical Line Interface Module (ELIM): An I/O Module available in a variety of
electrical interfaces. It provides isolation between the modem main module and the attached
metallic cable interface and transforms differential signals to bipolar line drive signals.
•Optical Line Interface Module (OLIM): An I/O module available in a variety of optic
wavelength interfaces. The optical link will carry data from both the network equipment (i.e.,
payload) and the network management processor (IMDL). Data is transmitted from the main
modem board, routed to the OLIM's driver circuitry, which in turn, drives the optical
transmitter.
The received data from the optical receiver will be amplified and then restored to TTL logic
levels before being delivered to the modem board.
All three components are hot-swappable, meaning that a module can be replaced without resetting
the entire unit.
1.1.1 Management
Configuration and management is accomplished via a local terminal. Modems can be managed in
the following ways:
• Local terminal directly connected to the modem's serial port in VT100 mode
• Local terminal connected through the Universal Chassis System's Domain Management
Module (DMM)
• SNMP, through the UCS Domain Management Module
• SNMP, utilizing optional TCP/IP access via the modem's serial port (standalone only)
In each case, menu driven, user friendly screens provide end-to-end configuration, status, and
control of the link, including remote and redundant modems.
SNMP management, via DMM: Provides a Network Manager with all data, via Intranet or
local PC management system.
DMM: Provides management data on all modems and other modules in the Universal Chassis
System, including remote modems.
VT100 Terminal Access: Provides access to all individual modem software screens, and their
remote partners.
SNMP management & telnet, over SLIP/PPP port: Available as an option in the standalone
units.

1.1.2 Redundancy
The 2361 provides two redundancy configuration types. In one type, only two modems are used,
but the fiber between them is duplicated. The other type requires four modems and two complete
fiber paths.
Fiber Path Redundancy: Two pairs of fibers are run between two modems. Only the fiber,
therefore, is redundant. Failure of one fiber pair causes a switchover to the other pair. A special
redundant OLIM is required for Fiber Path Redundancy.
Full Redundancy: The modems and the fiber path are both redundant. A failure in either causes
data to switch over to the alternate path. Bit Error Rate testing is continually passing through the
redundant path, to insure its operability.
1.1.3 Interchangeable Interfaces
A variety of ELIMs and OLIMs provides flexible interface interchangeability.

Module (OLIM)
1.1.4 Alarms
The Standalone 2361 Modem provides input and output dry alarm relay contacts on the rear
panel. These allow management personnel to collect and route alarm data to an external audio or
visual "shop" alarm, provided by the user.
The 2361 rackmount modem, as a component of the Universal Chassis System (UCS, passes
alarm data to the UCS Chassis Interconnect Module (CIM), where it is routed via dry contact
alarm relays to an external alarm, provided by the user.

The EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
1.1.5 Diagnostic and Test Functions
The 2361 modem provides complete Loopback feature, Continuous Self Test, and extensive link
and Bit Error Rate Testing.
1.1.6 Standalone Modem
The standalone version comes in a compact enclosure for desktop, shelf, rack, or wall mount
installations. It has a built-in AC or DC power supply and utilizes the same ELIMs and OLIMs as
the rackmount version.
On the front panel, the 2361 standalone modem includes the following:
• 1 DE 9 EIA-232 port
• An MDM/TRM switch
• In the MDM position, the modem transmits a modem signal via the serial port
(port is emulating DTE). The modem will therefore, support modem dial-up
connections.
• In the TRM position, the port emulates VT100 terminal mode (port is emulating DCE).
• A three-position loopback switch to select Local Loopback, Remote Loopback or off-
position. The switch will be operational only if the loopback mode is set in "hardware mode"
(See Chapter 7).
• A Reset switch. This switch resets the processor without affecting the flow of the payload.
On the rear panel, the 2361 Standalone modem includes the following:
• Major and Minor Alarm Input Connector
• Major and Minor Alarm Output Connector
• A Redundancy Cable used when the standalone modem is in redundant operation.

1.3 OLIM Interface Options
There are several options for selecting optical transceivers. These options accommodate the
following needs:
• Differences in the fiber optic cable core size used in the network
• Differences in operating wavelengths
• Differences in transceiver power budget and connector styles
The options available are as follows:

Single mode
1550nm Laser26dBmST, FC/PC, SC
Single mode
1.4 Loss Budget Considerations
The maximum possible distance with either standard or long distance versions is dependent on
the overall power loss of the fiber optic link. This is called the link loss. The launch power of the
transmitter along with the receiver sensitivity, determines the loss budget. To insure normal
operation over a long term, the link loss should be at least 3dB less than the loss budget for the
modem.
Additionally, see the distance guide chart in Figure 7.

1.5 2361 Modem Operating At E1 Rate
While the 2361 modem is a T1 modem, it can also function in E1 mode. This can be
accomplished by changing a switch position on the Main Module. For Rackmount modems,
remove the modem from the chassis, and locate the T1/E1 switch on the board. Then, change the
switch to E1.
For a standalone modem, the switch is accessible by removing the ELIM or OLIM, reaching
inside between the ELIM and the OLIM, and toggling the switch.
Figure 8. T1/E1 Switch on a Standalone Modem
1.6 Applications
The modem's general purpose is to extend the reach of a pair of T1 signal over fiber optic cables,
as shown below:
• Payloads pass through without regard to codes or frames.
• In Redundant applications, continuous Bit Error Rate Testing on the inactive modem is
performed.

Installation
In this chapter, installing and powering the 2361 modem is discussed.
2.1 Unpacking and Installing the Rackmount Modem
Each 2361 modem is factory tested and shipped in protective cartons. After unpacking the unit
and accessories, retain the shipping carton and protective packing in the event a need arises for
returning it to the factory.
To install the 2361 modem, do the following:
1. If the Universal Chassis System Chassis Model 1000 has not yet been installed, do so now.
Also install the optional CIM and DMM modules. The 2361 modem can be installed at any
time into an operating chassis.
2. The modem consists of the main module, as well as ELIMs and OLIMs, which may have
been shipped already inserted into the main module. The modem can be inserted into any
numbered available slot in the UCS 1000 chassis. The slots are numbered on the Chassis
metal strips near where the screws are inserted.
Note: If a redundant application will be used, the primary modem must be inserted
into an odd numbered slot (slots are numbered on the chassis metal strip near where
the modem's screws are inserted). The secondary modem must be inserted into the first
even numbered slot to the right, (For example: 1, 2, or 7, 8).
Figure 11. The Universal Chassis System with
No Modules
3. When inserted correctly into position, you will feel and hear the modem connect firmly with
the backplane. It should fit snugly, and will not need to be forced.
4. Hand-tighten the knurled knobs, which will fasten the modem firmly into place. No
screwdriver is necessary.
5. Additional modems can be inserted into the chassis at any time, and will be detected by the
Universal Chassis System without rebooting the UCS. The modem receives power from the
backplane.

6. When inserted into an active chassis, the modem's LEDs will display amber while booting. If
a DMM is installed and operating, the DMM will detect the presence of the modem, and
begin reporting modem status on appropriate software screens. For LED activity, see the LED
section of this manual.
7. To avoid configuration errors, attach the appropriate cables to the modem's ELIMs and
OLIMs, carefully labeling all Tx and Rx cables clearly.
8. If no configuration errors are present, data will begin passing.
2.1.1 Inserting an ELIM or OLIM
ELIMs and OLIMs (Electrical or Optical Line Interface Modules) slide in and out of the modem's
main module, much as the modem itself slides into the Chassis. The rackmount cards and the
standalone units use the same LIMs.
ELIMs are always positioned in the top slot, and OLIMs on the bottom.
2.2 Unpacking and Installing the Standalone Modem
Each 2361 modem is factory tested and shipped in protective cartons. After unpacking the unit
and accessories, retain the shipping carton and protective packing for reuse in the event a need
arises for returning it to the factory.
The standalone modem may be installed on a desktop, or mounted in a rack with side screws (see
Figure 13). Ensure that cables are away from foot traffic. The operator must have access to the
rear of the modem (for cable and dry alarm contact attachment), and the front of the modem (for
terminal interface access and viewing the modem's LEDs).

2.4 Providing Power to the 2361 DC Modem
The -48 volt base unit is intended for use with an external -48VDC power supply. A two piece
terminal block connector is provided. It is clearly marked as to which screw lug is to be attached
to the positive (+) and negative (-) 48 volts DC terminals.
Note: Check signal ground (GND) of the source supply and orient it to the Modem GND, or
chassis ground. Verify with a ohmmeter that (+) and (-) are not shorted prior to applying power.
Figure 16. DC Power Entry Close-up
Warning! Turn off the -48VDC power supply to be completely sure that there is no more
power. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage across the negative (-) and
positive (+) source DC leads. Set the voltmeter to a range that makes it
capable of measuring up to 75VDC. The measurement across the positive and
negative leads should be zero (0) volts.
To provide power to the 2361 standalone modem DC version, do the following:
1.Remove the power terminal block from the rear panel of the unit.
2361 Modem Users Manual

The EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
2. Using a 1/16-inch flat-blade (pocket) insulated screwdriver, loosen the two captive wire
installation screws on the terminal block to accommodate 16-22 AWG solid wire.
3. If you are establishing a color convention for wiring, use black for -48VDC and red for Gnd.
Remove ¼-inch insulation from wire ends. Avoid nicking the wire.
4. Connect the -48 Volt source DC power leads to the terminals on the power supply terminal
block. In so doing, you must strictly observe the following order of connection to the source
power supply wire:
(a) + terminal to red lead (GND)
(b) - terminal to black lead (-48VDC)
5. Tighten the two captive wire installation screws on the terminal block.
6. Plug the terminal block into the rear of the unit. Verify that the source wires are routed
downward.
