1. Introduction

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter is a communications protocol converter designed to enable
Miranda’s NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family (NV8144, NV8280 or NV8576) routers to
communicate with a SMS7000 system controller. A system controller is a hardware system that
runs a router control system application. The router control system sends commands to a router’s
control cards (i.e., circuit boards), telling them what switching tasks to perform.

The SMS7000 system controller requires a GSC Node Bus connection in order to connect and com­municate with the router. All of Miranda’s routers have a GSC Node Bus connection, except for the
NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family. The EC9535 solves this problem by providing an inter­face with a GSC Node Bus. The SMS7000 connects to the EC9535, which in turn, is connected to
the NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family router.

Product Overview

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter is used as an interface between a SMS7000 system control­ler and a specific Miranda router. Unlike a router, the EC9535 does not actively manage signals.
Instead the EC9535 provides a GSC Node Bus to serial interface that enables a SMS7000 system
controller to communicate with Miranda routers that feature only serial system controller connec­tions. In addition, the EC9535 provides high reliability through redundant power supplies and
redundant control cards, as well as deterministic communications processing.

Mounting

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter mounts in a rack with minimum dimensions of 2RU high
(3.47 inches, 88.1 mm), and 16.0 inches (406 mm) deep. When placing the rack in your facility, be
sure to leave enough space for air flow through the front and rear of the EC9535 and within easy
access of an AC power source. For mounting instructions, see Rack Mount

on page 10.

Fuses

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter has no user-serviceable fuses.

Cooling

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter has one fan providing forced air cooling. The fan is
accessed from the front of the frame. The fan draws cooling air from the front of the frame, through
the door, and exhausts it through a grill in the rear door. The EC9535 must have the door correctly
installed and closed for proper airflow through the chassis.

Caution If airflow is impeded, overheating may occur.

1. Introduction

Frame Front

Power Supply

Power for the EC9535 is supplied through the Miranda PS0007 power supply module. The PS0007
power supply module accepts a wide range of AC input voltages and produces +48 VDC outputs.
The power supply automatically senses the AC input voltage range (90–130 and 180–250 VAC)
and adjusts to maintain a relatively constant DC output; no voltage selection is required.

Frame Front

The front of the EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter features a single door. When facing the front of
the frame the right-hand side features an open grill through which a fan draws cooling air. A handle
is provided on the left-hand side. The door is hinged on the right-hand side and swings open from
left to right. By opening the door, you can access the control cards.

Figure 1-1 shows the front of the EC9535 with the door closed. Figure 1-1 shows the EC9535 with
the door removed. The card guides that house the control cards are visible.

Figure 1-2. Front of EC9535 with Door Removed

Control Cards

The EC9535 has two control cards (EM0374), one primary and one secondary. The secondary card
is optional and used as a redundant, or stand-by, controller. Each control card is equipped with a
special mezzanine (SM0220) that facilitates communication between the control cards and the
SMS7000 system controller. Each card receives commands from a router control system, and in
turn, sends commands to the connected router’s control cards. Only the active control card sends
commands. The active control card updates the stand-by control card.

Both the primary control card and the secondary control card receive commands from the router
control system, but only the active control card responds. Because both cards receive router control
system commands, if the active control card fails, the stand-by control card automatically takes
over processing without interruption. In addition, the primary control card and secondary control
card communicate with each other. Should either control card fail, the newly active control card
communicates the failure to the router control system.

Four LEDs on the front of the control card indicate the card’s status: low battery (red), alarm (red),
active (amber), and operating normally (green). For more information, see Indicator LEDs

Rear Connections

The rear of the EC9535 frame features a back plate containing several connections for managing
system functions and two power connections:

These connections enable you to connect to a system controller, reference signals, power sources
and system alarms. When facing the rear of the frame, the far right-hand side has a grill behind
which is located the fan for frame cooling. All system and power connections are located to the left
of the fan.

GSC Node Bus Control Connections

The EC9535 GSC Node Bus Converter has one port labeled ‘GSC NODE BUS’, as shown in
Figure 1-4. This connection is used to connect a SMS7000 system controller to the EC9535. In
turn, the EC9535 is connected to a NV8288, NV8288-Plus or NV8500 Family router. Through the
GSC Node Bus connection, the SMS7000 router control system sends commands to both the
EC9535’s primary and secondary control cards. In turn, the control cards forward the commands to
the attached router through serial connections. (See Serial Control Connections

Figure 1-7. Ethernet Control Connections (Rear View)

In order for EC9535 to communicate with UniConfig through an Ethernet connection, you must
configure an IP address for each of EC9535’s control cards. The IP address is set using UniConfig.
However, UniConfig runs on a PC and cannot communicate with EC9535 until an IP address has
been entered. Therefore, you must use a serial connection

— the ‘DIAG’ port(s) — to communicate

with the computer (PC) running UniConfig to define the IP address(es). See Making Diagnostic

Connections on page 13.

Note If using an Ethernet connection, 50ohm terminators must be installed on the

‘10 B 2’ connectors.

AES Reference Connections

The AES reference is used for clock generation, which provides a timing reference for AES syn­chronous signals and for timing circuits on the EC9535 control card. This reference is not currently
used, but provided for future flexibility. For more information, contact Technical Support. (See

Technical Support Contact Information

on page iii.)
