N-BOX Rev. E
1 Product overview
The N-BOX is meant to meet the need for a one module desktop box for Flashlink module
cards. This box shall use the same backplane as in the standard 2RU frame. This means
that the modules and backplanes can be removed from a desktop box and replaced into the
FR-2RU-10-2 frame. In addition, 4 desktop boxes can be assembled together into a 1 RU
box holder and function as a 1 RU unit.
Please note the power constraint on older N-BOXs described in chapter 2.2.

2 Specifications
2.1 General specifications
2.2 Power constraints
There is a power constraint of 4W on N-BOXs delivered before 2008-09-01. This constraint
has been removed for N-BOXs delivered after this date. This constraint causes some newer
cards such as DWC-HD, ARC-SD, UDC-HD-XMUX and other power demanding cards to not
function properly.
The two types of N-BOXs can be distinguished when looking at the power module on the
back without having connected any Flashlink backplane into the N-BOX. N-BOXs produced
before 2008-09-01 have the number 4052966 printed in the silk screen next to the 16 pin
Flashlink connector. A newer N-BOX has no such marking.
2.3 Front view
The front view of the N-BOX shows status LEDs for the module that is included in the NBOX.
Figure1: LEDs in from of the N-BOX
The leftmost1 LED of each module card is a "general status" LED.
Green light means that the card is OK.
Red light means that the card is faulty.
No light means that the power is not switched on.
The meaning of each LED on the module cards is described in their respective manuals.
LEDs from left to right when box is viewed as in this figure.

module for the power supply delivered with the N-BOX. The other connector modules are

3 Configuration
3.1 Address setting on each N-BOX
Each N-BOX can be assigned an address through the address selector on the underside of
the box. Maximum 8 addresses are available. This address setting only applies when your
application includes more than one N-BOX. The addresses represent card positions in a FR2RU-10-2 frame, and are numbered from 0 – 9. Default address/card position is 0.

4.1 Power connection
DC: Connect the DB9 connector from the external DC power supply to the DB9 male
connector of the N-BOX. Tighten the screws to ensure a proper contact.
4.1.1 Pin-out DC input
The maximum current drawn from each pin of the DB9 connector is 2,5A.
4.2 Module connections
The other connectors are module specific; hence they are described in their respective user
manuals.

5 N-BOX operation
In order to reconfigure an N-BOX, the front panel must be removed. Each module has a
corresponding connector module at the rear, and is hot swappable.
Use safety goggles when hot-swapping module cards.
If a receiver card is removed from the N-BOX, an invisible laser beam may be
emitted inside the N-BOX from the laser at the other end. The laser beam might
be harmful to your eyes.
5.1 Removing the front panel
Detach the front panel by unfastening the two screws fixing the front panel. Use a TX-08
screwdriver for this. A TX-08 screwdriver is included in the shipment of your N-BOX.
Figure 3: Removing the front panel
5.2 Card removal
To remove a module card from the N-BOX frame, release the card by moving the red handle
until it is in horizontal position. Then pull the card out of the N-BOX with the red handle. After
removing a card, it is important that the protective cap is put back on the ferrule tip.
When removing a receiver card from the N-BOX (hot swapping), the laser beam
may be present inside the N-BOX (transmitted through the fiber). To avoid
damaging your eyes, never look directly into the N-BOX unless you are 100 %
sure that no laser beam is present inside the N-BOX.
5.3 Back plane insertion
You must install the accompanying back plane card before you can insert a new module card
into the frame. Turn off the power by disconnecting the DB9 power contact to the N-BOX.
Remove the module card from the box, according to the procedure in Chapter Error!
Reference source not found.. Please follow anti-static procedures when handling circuit
boards with active components.
Remove all 4 screws from the back plane to be replaced. Remove the back plane by lifting it
straight out from the rear of the frame. Insert the new back plane and tighten the screws.

5.4 Card insertion
After the front panel is removed, full access to the card modules inside the N-BOX is given.
The N-BOX is equipped with guide rails to align the module card into its position.
