Figure 1-2 shows the dc cvMAX-100 base unit.

Figure 1-2. cvMAX-100 dc base unit

Both the single dc power supply cvMAX-1 00 and the redundant dc power suppl y have two sets
of terminal block inputs. On the single dc power supply model, only the terminal inputs on the
left are active. On a redundant power supply, the inputs on the left are for the primary power
supply, while inputs on the right are for the secondary power supply.

Interfaces on the base unit

Figure 1-1 shows the physical interfaces on the cvMAX-100 base unit.

POWER

The cvMAX-100 accepts ac or dc power, depending upon which unit you have specified.

CONTROL

The control port connects to a VT100 terminal or a modem to provide the menu-driven user
interface to the cvMAX-100. The interface runs at 9600 bps (configurable through the user
interface), 8 bits per character, no parity, no flow control, 1 stop bit. (For details about cables
that connect to this port, see “Control port and cabling pinouts for the cont rol monitor” on
page C-1.)

LAN UTP

The two LAN UTP ports connect the cvMAX-100 to unshielded twisted pair 10/100 Base-T
(UTP) LANs. (For details about cables that connect to these ports, see “Ethernet interface
specifications” on page C-2.)

PCMCIA

The PCMCIA interface accepts a plug-in PCMCIA card. The PCMCIA flash card (Figure 1-3)
is a standard card that extends existing flash memory.

• One unchannelized OC3 port

• Fiber SC-1 interface or copper RJ-45 physical interface, single mode, are available for

interfacing with either of these media.

• Layer 2 PVC switching betw een ATM and Frame Relay networks

• Support for RFC 1483 (Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5)

• Support for RFC 2364 (PPP over ATM AAL5)

• Protocol conversion between ATM (RFC 1483) and Frame Relay (RFC 2427) data

• ATM Forum UNI 3.1 support

• Frame Relay Forum FRF.8 PVC mapping between ATM and Frame Relay networks

Installing the cvMAX-100

Before you begin

Before you begin

Before you install the cvMAX-100, make sure you check the shipping package contents as
described in “The cvMAX-100 package” on page 1-1. Then make sure you have t h e fo l low ing:

• Phillips-head screwdriver to install the cvMAX-100 slot cards.

• Antistatic wrist straps and mats.

• Suitable location with adequate power.

• Local workstation with VT100 terminal- emul at ion software. (You must assign an IP

address through a connection to the serial port of the cvMAX-100. Later, you can use
Telnet to configure the system.)

• Workstation on a different subnet, from whi ch yo u can Pi ng t he cvMAX -1 00 to verify the
configuration.

• IP address for the cvMAX-100.

• Default gateway for the cvMAX-100, if your setup requires one.

Power requireme nts

Use the following information to help determine your power requirements :

• Maximum power consumed by any of the cvMAX-100 cards is 6.5 watts. A fully loaded
cvMAX-100 consumes 38 watts maximum.

• For ac power, provide power via two dedicated 120 Vac 20 A outlets with a dedicated
ground.

Understanding the back panel

Before you begin installing the hardware, you need some understanding of the ports and other
items on the cvMAX-100 ac backpanel. Figure 2-1 shows the location and Table 2-2 describes
the function of each element on the back panel of the ac power supply.

“Installing a slot card” on page 2-3 Explains how to install a slot card into the cvMAX-100

chassis.

Figure 2-4. cvMA X-100 units installed in a rack

Keep the following information in mind when installing cvMAX-100 units in a rack or cabinet.

• The rack should safely support the combined weight of all equipment it contains. The
cvMAX-100 base system weighs 10 lbs (4.6 kg).

• Installation of the cvMAX-100 in a rack without sufficient air flow can be unsafe.

• Lucent Technologies recommends racks with open sides because the cvMAX-100 fans

vent on the side of the unit.

2-6 Preliminary cvMAX-100 Hardware Installation Guide

Installing the cvMAX-100

Connecting the cvMAX-100 to the LAN

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation
of the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must not be
blocked or covered.

• Ensure adequate cooling in the room.
– The maximum recommended ambient temperature for cvMAX-100 models is 104°

Fahrenheit (40° Celsius). Take care to allow sufficient air circulation or space
between units when the cvMAX-100 is installed in a closed or multirack assembly,
because the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than room ambient.

– In enclosed racks, make sure there are openings in the floor underneath each cabinet

to allow the air conditioning up into the cabinet.

– Lucent Technologies recommends exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet, but they are

not required. At a minimum the cabinets must be ventilated at the top.

Connecting the cvMAX-100 to the LAN

To connect the cvMAX-100 to your LAN, plug Ethernet LAN cables into the unit’s Ethernet
ports.

To pass the CISPR EMI suppression requirement, attach a ferrite bead to the end of the
Ethernet cable that is closest to the cvMAX-100. Loop the cable through the ferrite bead as
illustrated in Figure 2-5.

Figure 2-5. Installing the ferrite bead on the Ethernet cable

A suitable ferrite bead is manufactured by Fair-Rite Inc., part number 0443167251.

Connecting the cvMAX-100 to the WAN

How you connect the cvMAX-100 to the WAN depends on the type of slot card you have
purchased.

Connecting the OC3-ATM card to the WAN

Connect the OC3 line to the fiber interface OC3-ATM card using a 1300 nM single-mod e fiber
cable.

Connect the OC3 line to the copper interface OC3-ATM card using a Category 5 cable.

Inform your service provider that the equipment is connected, so they can bring up the line.

Installing the cvMAX-100

Connecting a workstation to the serial port

Preliminary cvMAX-100 Hardware Installation Guide 2-7

Connecting the unchannelized T1 card to the WAN

Connect your cvMAX-100 T1 ports to the demarcation point, which is where the T1 line’s
metallic interface connects to other equipment.

Inform your service provider that the equipment is connected, so they can bring up the line.

Connecting a workstation to the serial port

To perform the initial configuration of the cvMAX-100, you must connect a cable to the
cvMAX-100 serial port.

Set the terminal-emulation package in your communications software as follows:

– 9600 bps
– Direct connection
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control

Connecting to input power

Your power sources can be ac or dc. (For power requirements, see Appendix B, “cvMAX-100
Technical Specifications.”)

Connecting the cvMAX-100 ac power supply

T o connect the ac power supp ly , plug the ac source into an outlet, then plug the po wer cord into
the cvMAX-100 power supply socket.

Warning: Models with ac power inputs are intended for use with a three-wire grounding type
plug—a plug that has a grounding pin. This is a sa fety feat ure. Equip ment gr ounding is vit al to
ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by modifying the
plug or using an adapter.

Connecting the cvMAX-100 dc power supply

The cvMAX-100 dc power supply requires two input connections: -48 Vdc and Return (-48
Vdc return). These two inputs are isolated from the ground.

If the power supply is fed from a power source with no ground path, connect the cvM AX-100
chassis stud to the dc power supply chassis ground using a solid copper 12 AWG wire.

If the power supply is fed from an isolated po wer source, the ch assis ground mus t be connected
directly to earth using a solid copper 12 AWG wire. A single drop to all cvMAX-100 units on
one rack is acceptable.

2-8 Preliminary cvMAX-100 Hardware Installation Guide

Installing the cvMAX-100

Starting the cvMAX-100

An example of wiring the terminal block is shown in Figure 2-6. As shown in, the dc power
source on the cvMAX-100 or the redundant cvMAX-100 has a terminal block with two
separate input sources. The input power is identical for both terminal columns. Connect to two
different sources if you want source redundancy. (If one source fails, the other backs up the
power and the cvMAX-100 unit has no interruption in functioning.)

Figure 2-6. Connecting to dc power

Following are descriptions of the terminal block connectors:

Warning: Before installing wires to the cvMAX-100 unit’s dc power terminal block, verify
that these wires are not connected to any power source. Installing live wires (that is, wires
connected to a power source) is hazardous.

(For power requirements, see Appendix B, “cvMAX-100 Technical Specifications.”)

Starting the cvMAX-100

To start up the cvMAX-100, perform the following steps:
1 Make sure you have attached a workstation to the cvMAX-100 serial port as explained

in“Connecting a workstation to the serial port” on page 2-7.

2 Make sure that you can see the status lights on the front-panel of the cvMAX-100 while

you view the VT100 interface.

3 After turning the power on, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) begins and finishes within

one minute.

4 While the POST is running, watch the status lights.

If the Power status light is on an d the Faul t stat us li ght is off, the cvMAX-100 is operat ing
properly. You can continue with the next step.

If either the Power status light is off or the Fault status light is on, remove the power cord
and do not continue. Contact your Lucent distributor or Sales Partner.

Navigating and Securing the Interface

To operate and control your cvMAX-100 from a terminal, knowledge of the menus and their
arrangement is needed. You must also know how to use the special keys, set parameters and
then save your settings. Finally it is important to establish an appropriate security profile
before proceeding to the configuration of the unit.:

Configuration menus

You can access the cvMAX-100 configuration menus in a VT100 emulation window from a
computer connected to the contro l p ort, as d escribed in “Co nnecting a workstation to the serial
port” on page 2-7. When you establish the VT100 console session, the Main Edit Menu and
eight status windows appear.

You can also establish a console session from any Telnet workstation by opening a Telnet
session with the cvMAX-100. In a Telnet session you can perform all of the configuration,
diagnostic, management, and other functions that could be performed from a computer
connected to the cvMAX-100 control port.

In either case, access is controlled by Security profiles. To cnfigure the Security profiles, see
“Security profiles” on page 3-4.

The Main Edit Menu

The configuration interface consists of the Main Edit Menu and eight status windows. You can
configure the cvMAX-100 with the Main Edit Menu which is located on the left side of the
screen. The items listed in the Main Edit Menu differ depending on the system configuration of
your unit. The Empty items in the menu represent expansion slots that do not contain cards.

For an organizational overview of the cvMAX-100 menus and profiles, see the cvMAX-100
Reference.

Making a menu or status window active

You can interact with only one win dow at a tim e. The active window has a thick, double-lin e
border on the left, right, and top sides.

Ethernet interface specifications

Ethernet interface specifications

The base unit of a cvMAX-100 has an Ethernet interface that supports the physical
specifications of IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.14 with Ethernet 2 (Ethernet/DIX) framing. The
unit provides a single Ethernet interface that autosenses the Ethernet type to which it is
connected. It supports the following types of Ethernet interfaces:

• 10Base-T (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Twis ted pair Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 (10Ba se-T)
with an RJ-45 connector, labeled LAN UTP.

• 100 Base-T: 100 Mbps Baseband Modulation on Twisted Pair

The Ethernet address used to identify the Ethernet interface resides in the cvMAX-100 unit’s
motherboard.

To install the Ethernet interface, you must have the cables described in either of the following
two sections.

10Base-T cables

To install a 10Base-T interface, you need a twisted-pair Ethernet cable and a dual twisted-pair
cable terminated with RJ-45 modular jacks.

Use an EIA/TIA 568 or IEEE 802.3 10Base-T cable.

100Base-T cables

T o install a 100Base-T interface, you need a twisted-pair Ethernet cable and a dual twisted-pair
cable terminated with RJ-45 modular jacks.

Use one of the following cables: 100Base-T2, 100Base-T4 (not very popular), 100BASE-TX,
or 100Base-FX.

T1 interface specifications

Specifications for the cvMAX-100 unit’s T1 interface include Channel Service Unit (CSU)
requirements, specifications for the cables and plugs available for the unit’s WAN interfaces,
the pins to be used on the WAN ports, and the WAN switched services that are available to the
cvMAX-100.

T1 CSU requirements

CSU requirements depend on whether or not you enable the internal CSU on each T1 port on
the cvMAX-100. To enable the internal CSU, set the Net/T1 > Line Config > slot Line N >
Front End parameter to CSU. To disable the internal CSU set Front End to DSX.

Port with internal CSU

If you enable the internal CSU on a T1 port, you can connect the port directly to the metallic
interface of the WAN. To avoid harming the WAN, you must contact your carrier for approval

Cables and Connectors

T1 interface specifications

Preliminary cvMAX-100 Hardware Installation Guide C-3

before installation. Once you install the cvMAX-100, you must notify the carrier before
disconnecting the cvMAX-100 from the WAN. If you disconnect or turn off the cvMAX-100
without prior notification, the carrier might temporarily discontinue your T1 service. The
cvMAX-100 unit’s internal CSUs are compatible with dry-loop T1 lines, and with
span-powered or wet-loop powered T1 lines.

Port without internal CSU

If you disable the internal CSU on a T1 port, you cannot connect directly to the WAN. You
must connect the port to other equipm ent that p rov ides the inter face to th e WAN (for example,
an external CSU). Your carrier determines the correct value for the line buildout setting of the
CSU. You configure this parameter during installation. (For detailed information about each
parameter, see the cvMAX Reference Guide.)

T1 interface specifications

Note: During loss of power or whenever the cvMAX-100 restarts, a relay closure returns the
T1 signal to the WAN. That is, the T1 line is looped back.

T1 cable specifications

The maximum cable distance between the T1 WAN interface equipment and the cvMAX-100
should not exceed 655 feet (200 m) for a cvMAX-100 without CSUs. Measure the line length
and record it when you install the cvMAX-100. You must specify this length when you
configure the Line N profile parameters. (For detailed information about parameters, see the
Reference Guide for the cvMAX-100.)

Use only cables specifically constructed for transmission of T1 signals. The cables should
meet standard T1 attenuation and transmission requirements. The following specifications are
recommended:

• 100 Ohm

• Two twisted pairs, Category 3 or better

The WAN interface cables and plugs described in the following sections are available for the
cvMAX-100 unit’s WAN interfaces.
