In accordance with the Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 91/263/EEC,
this equipment should not be directly connected to the Public Telecommunications
Network.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
In accordance with European Directive 89/336/EEC, the breakout panel has been shown,
by independent testing, to comply with the following standards:
Emissions: EN 55022 Class B - Limits and methods of measurement of radio
interference characteristics of Information Technology Equipment.
(Also tested to FCC Part 15 Class B)
Immunity: EN 50082 Part 1 - Generic immunity standard, Part 1: Domestic,
commercial and light industrial environment.
Additionally, the breakout panel has been shown to comply with the following standards:
EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic Currents Emission
EN 61000-3-3 Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker
EN 61000-4-2 ESD Immunity
EN 61000-4-4 EFT Burst Immunity

• All 'D' type connectors attached to the rear panel must have back-shells that provide
continuous metallic shielding. Cable with a continuous outer shield (either foil or
braid, or both) must be used, and the shield must be bonded to the backshell.
• The equipment must be operated with its cover on at all times. If it becomes necessary
to remove the cover, the user should ensure that the cover is correctly re-fitted before
normal operation commences.

Chapter 1. Introduction
The UB-530 (Figure 1-1) provides industry standard interface connectors for access to the
modem’s data, clock, control, and alarm signals via a 50-pin D-sub connector. It functions
as a universal breakout panel for IDR, IBS, or D&I operations all in one, rack-mountable
unit.
Figure 1-1. UB-530 Breakout Panel
This breakout panel can be used in 1:1 switching configurations.
Major UB-530 features include:
•Convenient access to the SDM-308 Rev. 4 ESC through a standard 25-pin D
connector.
•Access to the 1/15 IBS overhead order wire, alarms, T1/E1, RS-422/449, and
V.35 data interfaces. The T1/E1 can be configured for balanced or unbalanced
DATA I/O signals through rear panel switches.
•Standardized interfaces for D&I data. Both balanced and unbalanced interfaces
for drop DATA I/O and insert DATA I/O are provided, and are selectable
through rear panel DIP switches.
• Standard 25-pin D connector pinout for V.35 or RS-530 signals
• Standard 37-pin D connector for RS-422 signals (RS-449 compatable).
The UB-530 is a standard one unit (1U) rack-mountable chassis.The unit consists of a
printed circuit board, connectors, and switches for breakout panel operation. The
connectors and switches are located at the front and rear panels.
The UB-530 consists of the following assemblies:

2.2.3.1 Adapting the V.35 25-Pin D Connector on the UB-530 to the
UB-300 Pinout
The connectors on the UB-530 and UB-300 Universal Breakout Panels are identically
wired, except for the 25-pin D connector which, is used for the V.35 data interface. The
UB-530 uses a standard RS-530 pinout, while the UB-300 pinout is non-standard. The
following information describes how to adapt the UB-530 to the UB-300 pinout.
An adapter is added to the UB-530 breakout panel that converts to the UB-300 pinout.
Figure 2-2 illustrates the adapter that plugs directly into J3 of the UB-530, and
Table 2-3 provides the wiring information for conversion from RS-530 to the UB-300
pinout.

These adapters are available from several sources. The ones listed below are solder-less
and make conversion quick and easy:
1. These signals are used for RS-530 (RS-422) and not required for V.35 which
uses only the “A” side of the signals.
2. Use the MASTER (MC or EXC) clock for EXTERNAL clock input. This clock
input should equal the data rate unless the Asymmetrical Loop Timing Option
(ASLT) is available. The ASLT option allows selection of different clock rates
that vary from the digital data rate. Refer to the Utility/Modem Type/Modem
Options menu for the ASLT option information.
3. MF and DF are fault indication signals from the modem and are not V.35 or
RS-530 standard signals.
