EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
Chapter 1 Overview
The Edge Access L3x2 Series Combination Line Interface Modules (CLIM) convert and extend
Ethernet media between Local Area Networks (LANs) located up to 120km apart.
1.1 L312 Series CLIMs
The L312 receives and transmits 10Base-T full-duplex Ethernet data from a Unshielded Twisted Pair
cable (UTP) and extends it over a multimode or single mode fiber optic cable.
The CLIM front panel, shown in Figure 1, includes:
• User port: RJ-45 modular connector for a UTP cable
• Extension port: ST or SC connecters
• Status LEDs:
• LNK/RX and TX pairs for the User and Extension ports shows link status and that data is
received and transmitted
• STA shows CLIM status
• Normal/X-over switch: Selects the UTP cable type for the User Port. Set to N for a standard
straight-through cable; set to X for a crossed-over cable

1.2 CLIM Hosts
The CLIM can be used in a variety of chassis. Figure 2 shows the options.
CLIM
The UCS 1000 and the UCS
1001 Chassis both host the
BAM with CLIMs installed.
BAM
The 1002 Chassis hosts the
CLIM directly.
The 1030 standalone enclosure
hosts the CLIM directly.

Figure 2. Host Options for the CLIM
L312 Ethernet Media Converters
EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System
To install CLIMs in a UCS 1000 or UCS 1001 chassis, you must use a Model 1230 Bus Access
Module (BAM); however, you can install CLIMs directly in a UCS 1002 or Model 1030 Enclosure.
See Figure 2.
• The UCS 1000 Chassis can hold up to 15 model 1230 BAMs with up to two CLIMs per BAM.
This allows a total of 30 L312 CLIMs per UCS 1000.
• The UCS 1001 Chassis can hold up to two model 1230 BAMs with up to two CLIMs per BAM.
This allows a total of 4 CLIMs per UCS 1001.
• The UCS Model 1002 Chassis directly hosts up to 14 CLIMs, or 13 CLIMs with the optional
Domain Management Module (DMM) installed.
• The Model 1030 Standalone Enclosure holds one CLIM.
All CLIMs are hot swappable; they can be inserted or removed at any time without disrupting the data
transfer of other modules in the chassis.
Note: The Chassis Interconnect Module (CIM) must be present in the UCS 1000 or 1002 chassis in
order for the DMM to recognize the L312 modules.

Chapter 2 Set-up and Installation
This section describes how to set up and install the CLIM.
Before setting up the CLIM, make sure the chassis is installed and its Users Manual is available for
reference. If the system includes an optional DMM and CIM(s), make sure these are available:
• Serial cable (required to connect the chassis to a VT100 type terminal or PC)
• VT100 type terminal or PC to run the User Interface manager
• The DMM and CIM manuals
2.1 Unpack and Inspect
Unpack and inspect all components. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need
to return the equipment to the manufacturer. Appendix A provides information for Return Material
Authorization (RMA).
2.2 Set Up the CLIM
Before inserting the CLIM:
• Check the front panel to verify that the CLIM provides the wavelength that matches its link
partner.
• For installation in a UCS 1001 or a Model 1030, or if you plan to use the Hardware Option
Control (see Section 4.6), set SW1; see Figure 3 and Table 1. For more information about the
SW1 functions, see Chapter 3, Alarm Status and Function.
Note: If the CLIM was installed in a UCS 1000 or 1002 and set in the User Interface to software
control, follow these steps to set it to hardware control when installing it in a UCS 1001 or
Model 1030:
a. Set SW1, all positions, to On.
b. Insert the CLIM in a slot with the power on, then remove it.
c. Set SW1, all positions, to Off.
d. Insert the CLIM in a slot with the power on, then remove it.
e. Set SW1 positions as needed.

2.2.1 Install a CLIM in a BAM Host
Each BAM can hold up to two CLIMs. See Figure 4.
Follow these steps to install the BAM and the CLIM:
Step 1. Insert a BAM into an available slot. Slide the BAM into the rails and push it firmly into the
backplane, then tighten the captive screws. If you encounter resistance, pull the BAM out
and check that no connector pins are bent on the BAM or the chassis backplane.
Step 2. Insert a CLIM into an unused slot in the BAM. Slide the CLIM into the rails and push it
firmly into the backplane, then tighten the captive screw. If you encounter resistance, pull it
out and check that no connector pins are bent on the CLIM or the BAM backplane.
If you encounter more difficulty, contact Canoga Perkins at (818) 718-6300 for technical assistance.
Note: CLIMs and BAMs are hot-swappable and can be inserted or removed without disrupting data
transfer in other application modules.
