All configurable items in the BROADway chassis are managed through the software interface. The
backplane of the BROADway chassis is keyed to prevent you from inserting a card in the incorrect slot.
All BROADway control and line cards are hot-swappable, you can insert cards into systems that are
either not powered, or systems that are powered.
Mounting the Chassis in a Rack
Typically, the BROADway chassis will be mounted within a rack or bay. The BROADway chassis can
be installed in either a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. A mounting kit included with the chassis provides
the means to support installation in both types of rack.
WARNING! WHEN INSTALLING THE CHASSIS IN A RACK, BE CAREFUL TO TRY TO MINIMIZE
THE AMOUNT OF BLOCKAGE OVER THE AIR INTAKE AND EXTRACTION PANELS TO THE LEFT AND
RIGHT OF THE CHASSIS.
As when installing any additional equipment within an existing or planned rack environment, consider
how powering the BROADway chassis will impact the overall loading of the branch circuit used at the
rack. A fully loaded BROADway chassis requires approximately 160W to power the system. When
installing in a rack, make sure that a reliable ground (earth) path is maintained; the BROADway chassis
is intended to be connected to a good earth ground.

Installation
Mounting the Chassis in a Rack
The BROADway chassis can be installed within a rack in two different ways:
! Front-mounted (flush with the front of the rack)—This is the most commonly used
mounting option when the rack is sturdily mounted to a wall.
! Center of gravity mounted (mid-mounted)—This mounting option is used when the rack is
not sturdily constructed or only attached at the floor. This mounting option centers the chassis
over the rails so there is less chance for the rack to tip. This is the most commonly used
mounting option.
When determining which way you want to mount the chassis, use the option that will keep the rack
stable and unlikely to tip over.
To prevent potential damage to interface and control cards, wait until the chassis is properly mounted
before installing any control or line card options.
NOTE: It is recommended that you leave 1 rack unit (RU) of space above and below the
BROADway chassis within the rack for ease of accessibility.
To mount the chassis:
1. Determine whether your rack is a 19- or 23-inch rack.
2. Determine how you want to mount the chassis: front-mounted or center of gravity mounted. If
you want to mount using the center of gravity position, you must move the mounting ear on
each side of the chassis as shown in the following figure:
a. Unscrew the four screws holding the mounting ear on one side of the chassis, rotate the
mounting ear 180º, move the mounting ear to the next set of holes, and re-insert the four
screws.
b. Repeat on the other side of the chassis.

3. If you are mounting the chassis in a 23-inch rack, use the four screws that
come with each extension bracket (provided with the chassis) to attach
the brackets to the mounting ears.
4. Attach the chassis to the rack by inserting four screws on each side of the
chassis through both the mounting ears or extensions on the side of the
chassis and the rack rails.
Cabling Power and Ground
The BROADway chassis accepts a DC power feed directly into the chassis.
NOTE: To power the BROADway system from an AC supply (110–230 VAC), you must
use an external AC-to-DC converter.
As when installing any additional equipment within an existing or planned rack environment, consider
how powering the BROADway chassis will impact the overall loading of the branch circuit used at the
rack. A fully loaded BROADway chassis requires approximately 160W to power the system. When
installing in a rack, make sure that a reliable ground (earth) path is maintained; the BROADway chassis
is intended to be connected to a good Earth ground such as that provided by building steel, a cold water
pipe or, preferably, a properly constructed ground plate or bonding network.

Cabling the Network Synchronization Port
Cabling the Network Synchronization Port
There are two chassis types, BITS and ITU; the difference is in the number and type of network
synchronization ports. The network synchronization ports (CKIN-1 and CKIN-2) can be connected to
an external synchronization source that is typically traceable to a Stratum 1 level primary reference
source. In the U.S. and Canada the BITS chassis expects to see a D4 or ESF framed T1 signal at this
input. In countries that utilize an E1 network hierarchy, the ITU chassis expects to see a ITU-T G.703
2.048 MHz square wave signal. These connections are optional and should only be used when external
timing is required. If a single external input only is available, it should always be connected to CKIN-1
rather than CKIN-2. For more information about network synchronization, refer to Timing and
Synchronization in the online help.
Cabling the Clock Ports on the BITS Chassis
On the front panel of the chassis are two synchronization clock ports: CKIN-1 and CKIN-2 (one is
redundant for the other). CKIN-1 connects to NSP-1, and CKIN-2 connects to NSP-2.

is coming from the external source.
! Connect none, one, or two external units to the alarm generation #1 and #2 to tell the external
units when an alarm has occurred on the BROADway system.
Alarm Input Sensing
The ALARMS port provides two separate circuits to detect when an alarm is generated from an external
source. The circuit will sense an alarm condition when an external +5V potential is placed across pins
11 and 12 (ALMSNS1) or pins 9 and 10 (ALMSNS2). These pins are isolated from the BROADway
chassis. If an external voltage is not readily available, a 5V reference and ground are supplied on pins
13 and 15 and can be looped back onto pins 9 and 10 or 11 and 12, respectively, using the relay contacts.

Alarm Output Reporting
During a Critical or Major alarm condition on BROADway, the normally open contact (pin 1) is closed,
and the normally closed contact (pin 3) is opened.
During a Minor alarm condition on BROADway, the normally open contact (pin 4) is closed, and the
normally closed contact (pin 6) is opened.
Alarm Cut Off (ACO)
The Alarm Cut Off button on the front I/O panel is used to silence the current alarm output. A new alarm
will re-activate the alarm closures.
Installing the NSP101 Control Card
The NSP101 control card is the heart of the BROADway system and contains the narrowband switch
matrix, the integrated IP router, the network timing synchronization subsystem and the management
interface into the BROADway node.
BROADway always requires at least one NSP101 card to operate. Two NSP101 cards can be installed
to provide redundant operation of the system. If a single NSP101 is used it should be installed in the
NSP-1 card slot. The second, redundant NSP101 should be installed in the NSP-2 card slot.
