General Information

The 69257-101 Access Panel Interface (API) allows up to eight access panels to be interfaced to an
ADVANCE system. It is installed in a 10457 Series Card Rack and is controlled by a Master Control Unit
(MCU) installed in that same card rack. The API is designed exclusively for use in an ADVANCE system,
and is not intended for use with other types of equipment.

Description of Major Components

API Front Panel LEDs

The following table describes the API front panel LEDs and their functions:

LED Status Description

ON LINE On The MCU is running and is configured to recognize the API.

Off The API is not receiving power from the card rack or the MCU is not properly

configured to recognize the API.

FAULT On The MCU has detected at least one failure in any of the access panels attached

to the API.

Off All access panels attached to the API are healthy.

Connections t o the Field Wiring T erminal Blocks

Connections to the API are typically accessed via one 26-pin terminal block module mounted inside the
system’s control cabinet. A ribbon cable connects the terminal block module to the rear of the card rack
housing the API card. The terminal block module connects to the top connector associated with the API;
the bottom connector is unused.

The actual location of the terminals is shown on the control cabinet outline and connection drawings.
Figure 1 illustrates the terminal block assignments. Figure 2 illustrates a connection from the terminal
block to an access panel.

Switch and Jumper Settings

Description

Several switch and jumper settings are required for proper operation of the API Card. The following
settings are set during the system commissioning and programming and should not be changed. If replacing
an existing API card for maintenance purposes, be sure to duplicate the switch and jumper setting of the
card being replaced. Refer to Figure 3 for the switch and jumper locations.

The 2xx/3xx Address header (P2) and shorting clip select part of the base input/output address used by the
MCU when accessing the API.

The Board Address rotary switch (SW4) selects part of the base input/output port address used by the MCU
when accessing the API.

The Board Identification rotary switch (SW3) lets the MCU distinguish between multiple APIs installed in
the same card rack. Set SW3 to either “1” or “2”.

The Clock Master/Clock Slave header (P3) and shorting clip configure the API as either the backplane
ST-Bus clock master (source of the clock) or a backplane ST-Bus clock slave (recipient of the clock).

The ST-Bus Stream In rotary switch (SW2) is unused. Set SW2 to “F”.

The ST-Bus Stream Out rotary switch (SW1) is unused. Set SW1 to “F”.

Party Line Isolation headers (P12 and P13) and shorting clips either connect or isolate the API from the
backplane party lines. Pin #1 is toward the front of the API; pin #3 is toward the back of the API. Place the
shorting clip across pin #1 and pin #2 (1-2 position) to isolate the API from the backplane party line. Place
the shorting clip across pin #2 and pin #3 (2-3 position) to connect the API to the backplane party line.
Both P12 and P13 must be in the same position.

OTE: The MCU controls which backplane party line, party line #1 or party line #2, the API connects to

N

when the P12 and P13 shorting clips are in the 2-3 position.

The API-to-access panel data line isolation headers (P5, P7, P8, P9, P11, P14, P15, and P16) and shorting
clips either ground or float a particular API-to-access panel data line. Place the shorting clip across pin #1
and pin #2 (1-2 position) to ground a particular API to access panel data line. Place the shorting clip across
pin #2 and pin #3 (2-3 position) to float a particular API to access panel data line. The first access panel is
associated with the top header (P5); the last, eighth, access panel is associated with the bottom header
(P16); all access panels’ associated headers are located sequentially from top to bottom.

Changing to a 69257-101 API from a previous version

NOTES:

1. The 69257-101 API is not electrically compatible with its predecessors. If further information on the

differences is needed, please contact the GAI-Tronics Field Service Department at 800-492-1212.

2. When upgrading to a 69257-101 API, the following four upgrades are required:

• Any 69266-001 or 69320-001 VNAs must be upgraded to the 69320-101 VNA.

• Any 69257-003, 69257-002, or 69257-001 APIs must be upgraded to the 69257-101 API.

• Any 69510-001, 69215-003, 69215-002, or 69215-001 backplane termination boards must be

upgraded to the 69510-101 Termination board. Two of these boards are required per card rack.

• The upgraded cards must be installed in the proper backplane slot. This task involves moving the

card and the associated ribbon cable at the rear of the card rack assembly.

Revisions of the API prior to the 69257-101 revision (the –003, -002, and –001 revisions) used a different
switch and jumper collection than the 69257-101 revision. The following text states how to convert the
previous revisions’ switch and jumper settings into the 69257-101 switch and jumper settings.

The 2xx/3xx Address header (P2) and shorting clip should be set to the 2xx position if W1 is inserted in the
API being replaced; otherwise, set to the 3xx position.

The Board Address rotary switch (SW4) is present on all versions of the API.

The Board Identification rotary switch (SW3) is present on all versions of the API.

The Clock Master/Clock Slave header (P3) and shorting clip should be set to M
clips were installed on header J8 (labeled M

OTE: The 69257-001 API has two shorting clips instead of three.

ASTER). Otherwise, set the jumper to SLAVE.

ASTER if the three shorting

The ST-Bus Stream In rotary switch (SW2) should be set to “F”.

The ST-Bus Stream Out rotary switch (SW1) should be set to “F”.

If a 69320-101 Voice Network Adapter is installed in the system, then the P12 and P13 shorting clips
should be in the 1-2 position (ISOLATED). Otherwise, the P12 and P13 shorting clips should be in the 2-3
position (CONNECTED).

API-to-access panel data line isolation headers (P5, P7, P8, P9, P11, P14, P15, and P16) and shorting clips
should be in the 1-2 position (GROUNDED). However, if this setting results in a ground loop between the
API and a particular access panel, then set the shorting clip associated with that access panel to the 2-3
position (FLOATING).

Operation

After installation, the 69257-101 Access Panel Interface (API) should start automatically. The API requires
no direct user intervention during normal operations. See your system manual for more information on how
the API operates in your customized system.

Installa tion Guidelines

WARNING

Disconnect power to the card rack before performing any maintenance.

Installa tion Instructions

1. Remove the API from its protective carton.

2. Verify that power is disconnected to the card rack prior to installation.

3. Verify that the five board switch and jumper settings described in the Switch and Jumper Settings

section beginning on page 4 are set in accordance with the instructions in your system manual.

4. Align the API into the upper and lower tracks for the card rack slot.

5. Slide the API toward the rear of the card rack until it comes in contact with the connector on the

backplane.

6. Firmly press on the front bezel until the API is seated in the backplane connector, and tighten the two

screws located on the front bezel to secure it to the card rack.

Remo ving the API Card from Card Rack

1. Remove power from the card rack.

2. Remove the two screws on the front bezel that secures the API to the card rack.

3. Gently disengage the API from the connector on the backplane and slide the API out of the card rack.
