General description
Functional
The modem 21-1601 and 21-1651 from Fibersystem are combined fiberoptic
synchronous and asynchronous modem with four different interfaces.
The interfaces are:
G.703 unbalanced 2Mbps,
G.703 balanced Nx64Kbps,
X.21
RS-530, not mounted on products produced after October 2006.
The modems are available in 2 versions.
21-1601 runs on 110-230 VAC , +/- 20%, power supply.
21-1651 runs on 48-250 VDC, +/- 20%, power supply.
The modem can be mounted in 19 rack with the mounting brackets included with the
product.
In synchronous mode the data rate are settable from 4.8kbps to 2048kbps.
To run the modem in asynchronous mode the data rate must be set to at least 8 times
the actual data rate giving a maximum asynchronous rate of 256kbps.
The modem can be configured to use three models of clock generation:
Internal clock, where the modem generates the transmit clock.
External clock, where the modem recovers the clock from the selected
interface.
Loop clock, where the modem recovers the clock from the fiber link.
The 21-1601 or 21-1651 can be connected to a telecom network or “back-to-back”.
The front panel is marked 21-16xx and the product is often referred to as “21-16xx”.
History
The 21-16xx has been delivered in 4 versions:
Product number Version
21-1601 ST multimode version with 100 –240 Volt AC/DC power supply
21-1651 ST multimode version with 48VDC power supply
21-1605 ST singlemode version with 100 –240 Volt AC/DC power supply
21-1655 ST singlemode version with 48VDC power supply
Present products
21-1601 Fo modem G703/X.21 (/RS530) 230V
21-1651 Fo modem G.703/X.21 (/RS530)
This manual will describe these products.
For singlemode application we recommend to use Fibersystem´s multimode to
singlemode converters, for example 21-203, “Fo MM/SM 4B/5B konv SC-SC
80km“.

Power supp
ly.
Both 21-1601 and 21-1651 are equipped with the same type of power supply.
The power supply accepts a wide range of voltages.
48-250VDC, +/- 20%.
110-230VAC, +/- 20%.
The only thing that differs between 21-1601 and 21-1651 is the type of connector for
main power supply.
21-1601 has a IEC 320, 3-pin power connector. It also have a mains filter and a fuse
available for replacement.
21-1651 has a 3-pin XLR connector. No filter. Fuse not replaceable.
In addition both 21-1601 and 21-1651 can be powered with 48V to 250V.
Fiber Optic G.703 Codirectional
The ITU-standard “G.703 64kbit/s codirectional interface” describes a galvanic
interface. This interface is for example commonly used by teleprotection equipment
for connection to telecom multiplexers.
The codirectional interface is transferred at one balanced pair for each direction.
The 21-16xx converts the codirectional interface signals to a proprietary fiber optic
protocol.
Fiber Optic G.703 Contradirectional
The ITU-standard “G.703 64kbit/s contradirectional interface” describes a galvanic
interface.
The contradirectional interface is transferred at two symmetrical pairs for each
direction. One pair carrying the data signal and the other carrying a composite timing
signal (64kHz and 8kHz).
The 21-16xx converts the contradirectional interface signals to a proprietary fiber
optic protocol.
G.703 2048kbit/s unbalanced
The ITU-standard G.703, E1, 2048kbit/s unbalanced, (75 Ohm BNC), ports are
intended to connect to, for example a telecom multiplexer. The 21-16xx transfer
HDB3-koded signals with or without frameing.
The 21-16xx converts the G.703 2048kbit/s unbalanced interface signals to a
proprietary fiber optic protocol.
X.21
The ITU-standard X.21 is an interface primarily used in telecom for connection of
“customers (DTE) equipment” to “carrier’s (DCE) equipment”.
All signals are balanced.
The 21-16xx converts the X.21 interface signals to a proprietary fiber optic protocol.
RS530 /
RS530A
Only available at products produced before October 2006.
The RS530 interface is a generic connector specification. The connector can be used
for to support RS422, RS423, V.35 and X.21, depending on the implementation.
Specifications for Fibersystems implementation of the RS530 are given later in this
document.
The 21-16xx converts the RS530 interface signals to a proprietary fiber optic protocol.
Page 6

Fiber optic protocol
Fibersystems proprietary protocol is used in a number of our products, enabling
interface conversions. For example, configure one 21-16xx for G.703 codir interface
and configure the other 21-16xx , (remote unit), in the link to X.21.
Applications
The fiberoptic port of the ABB REL55x/56x , Line Differential Protection
Terminals, is directly connected to the fiberoptic port of 21-16xx. The 21-16xx Codirport is then connected to a PDH multiplexer.
Or connect to another Fibersystem product using the same fiber optic protocol.

equipment and carrier’s equipment (DCE). And is primarily used for telecom
equipment.
All signals are balanced (RS422). There is always a pair (+/-) for each signal.

The 21-16xx can be configured for DCE or DTE operation by internal straps. See
chapter “Configuration”.
Note 21-16xx shall be seen logically more as an extension cable than as a modem.
Both data and control signals are mirrored to the remote side 21-16xx. Control signals
of the X.21 interface are not used for control of the 21-16xx traffic.
Both data and control signals are clocked in and out of the 21-16xx with the chosen
clock source. See chapter “Configuration”.
RS530 Port
Only available at products produced before October 2006.
RS530 is a standard for a connector more than an interface standard.
The connector pinning can be used to support RS422, RS423, V.35 and X.21 and
more.
Fibersystems RS530 implementation is a differential/balanced communications
interface with some single-ended/unbalanced signals normally used by modem
control signals, CTS and DSR.
Balanced signals use RS422 signaling levels.
Unbalanced signals, CTS pin 5 and DSR pin 6, use RS423 signal levels.
Both CTS and DSR are outputs from 21-16xx. A RS423-output can be connected to
a RS422-input by simply connecting the other input to signal ground.
Note 21-16xx shall be seen logically more as an extension cable than as a modem.
Both data and control signals are mirrored to the remote side 21-16xx. Control signals
of the RS530 interface are not used for control of the 21-16xx traffic.

G.703 2048
kbps, E1 Port - BNC 75 Ohm
The connectors are BNC. Tx-port sends data out from 21-16xx, Rx-port receives
data.
The BNC-connectors are isolated from chassis and both TIP and RING are isolated
from any ground with an input and output transformer.
This gives the opportunity to set up any grounding philosophy.
Best is to use double shielded coax cables as RG81.
In practice grounding the shield to chassis/protective earth/ground, (PE), has given
the best performance, but proper grounding philosophy varies from installation to
installation.

Clock source.
1. FIB CLK – Fiber clock. With strap, clock is extracted from incoming signal
on fiber.
2. EXT CLK – External clock. With strap clock is extracted from signal on
electrical interface.
3. Internal clock. No strap on FIB CLK and no strap on EXT CLK. Clock is
generated internally in 21.16xx.
4. SYNC - If the data received from the fiber needs to be synchronized in phase
with the data from the electrical interface, position a jumper at the SYNC
(lower) position of S14 and place the jumper S13 according to the brightest
LED, H13 – H14.
Internal clock – “Master mode”
When internal clock is selected, no straps on EXT CLK and FIB CLK, the clock used
is generated by an internal clock. This is used when two 21-16xx, (or other product
with same fiber protocol), are directly connected to each other. Only one 21-16xx
shall have this configuration.
If both local 21-16xx and remote 21-16xx has Internal Clock selected the link works
in Asynchronous mode. Only X.21 and RS530 interfaces support Asynchronous
mode. S11 shall be set to position 2048kbps. Maximum data rate is 256kbps in
asynchronous mode.
