Installing the Model 1001MC into the rack chassis

The Model 1001MC consists of a front rack card and a rear input/output (I/O) card (see ﬁgure 2 on page 12). The two cards meet inside the rack chassis and plug into each other by way of mating 50-pin card edge connectors. Do the following to install the Model 1001MC cards into the rack chassis:

There are no user-serviceable parts in the power supply section. Voltage setting changes and fuse replacement should only be performed by qualiﬁed service personnel. Contact Patton Electronics Technical support at (301) 975-1007 for more information.

Note The Model 1001MC is hot-swappable, which means that you can

install it into the rack chassis without having to turn off power to the rack chassis. For the purpose of this procedure, though it is assumed that power to the rack is OFF at the beginning.

1. Slide the rear I/O card into rear chassis slot 14 (see ﬁgure 5) along the metal guide rails.

Note The Model 1001MC installs into rack chassis slot 14 because that

slot provides information about the power supplies to the 1001MC. If the card is not installed in slot 14, the 1001MC will report power supply failure.

2. Secure the rear card using the captive fasteners.

4. Secure the front rack card using the captive fasteners.

Installing NetLink modem cards

This section contains hardware installation information that affects the following NetLink modems:

• Model 1092ARC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1092ARC”)

• Model 1094ARC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1094ARC” on page 22)

• Model 1095RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 1095RC” on page 24)

• Model 2701RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2701RC” on page 26)

• Model 2707RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2707RC” on page 28)

• Model 2710RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2710RC” on page 29)

• Model 2715RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 2715RC” on page 29)

• Model 2088RC (see section “Hardware setup for a Model 3088RC” on page 29)

Hardware setup for a Model 1092ARC

The following must be done to conﬁgure your Model 1092ARC hardware for use with the Model 1001MC network management station:

• Connect frame ground to signal ground (see section “Conﬁguring frame ground”)

• Set the system address (see section “Setting the 1092ARC system address” on page 20)

When you are ﬁnished, install the Model 1092ARC front card and rear I/O card using the installation procedures in the manual that came with the modem.

Conﬁguring frame ground

The Model 1001MC uses an internal bus to communicate with the NetLink modems installed in your system. The Model 1092ARC rear I/O card must have frame ground (GND) connected to signal GND through a

Installing NetLink modem cards 19

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 2 • Hardware installation

100-ohm resistor. This is done by conﬁguring a jumper on the modem’s rear I/O card. Refer to the installation manual that came with the rack card for more information on this jumper setting.

Setting the 1092ARC system address

The manual that was shipped with the 1092ARC deﬁnes switch S2 as Address. This switch sets the address of the modem in the NetLink system. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of switch S2.

Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-

nected to.

Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends poll messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed in the system. Once a card is found it is placed online and communication with the management station can begin.

If the address of the NetLink modem is not conﬁgured or does not match the address range of the rack that it is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined by the conﬁguration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software conﬁguration within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware conﬁguration of the system.

Polling rack #1 and daisy-chained racks. The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies installed in each rack is entered on the Modem Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the chassis to 15.

Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the speciﬁed address range in each rack. Thus, in a single power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address 1 to address 15

Note The 1001MC is always address 0.

The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. In a redundant power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address 1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 14.

The daisy chained racks are set up in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the change through the 1001MC web pages. This allows easy service of the power supplies.

If the address is 0 (all ON position), then the unit will run completely from its DIP-switch conﬁguration. This can be useful for testing circuits independently of the management system. If an address is placed on the switch, the unit will boot from its stored ﬂash conﬁguration and begin looking for poll commands from the Model 1001MC.

Switch S2 allows an 8 bit address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address. Bit S2-8 is the least signiﬁcant bit. A bit set to ON is considered a 0. A bit set to OFF is considered a 1. Patton Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack (farthest away

from the power supplies) and increment the numbers by one as you go from left to right. Setting the addresses in this manner will make conﬁguration easier as you start using the web page management. An example of this is shown below.

Hardware setup for a Model 1094ARC

The following must be done to conﬁgure your Model 1094ARC hardware for use with the Model 1001MC network management station:

• Connect frame ground to signal ground (see section “Conﬁguring frame ground”)

• Set the system address (see section “Setting the 1094ARC system address”)

When you are ﬁnished, install the Model 1094ARC front card and rear I/O card using the installation procedures in the manual that came with the modem.

Conﬁguring frame ground

The Model 1001MC uses an internal bus to communicate with the NetLink modems installed in your system. The Model 1094ARC rear I/O card must have frame ground (GND) connected to signal GND through a 100-ohm resistor. This is done by conﬁguring a jumper on the modem’s rear I/O card. Refer to the installation manual that came with the rack card for more information on this jumper setting.

Setting the 1094ARC system address

The manual that was shipped with the 1094RC deﬁnes switch S1 as Address. This switch sets the address of the modem in the NetLink system. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of switch S1.

Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-

nected to.

Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends poll messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed in the system. Once a card is found it is placed online and communication with the management station can begin.

If the address of the NetLink modem is not conﬁgured or does not match the address range of the rack that it is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined by the conﬁguration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software conﬁguration within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware conﬁguration of the system.

Polling rack #1 and daisy-chained racks. The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies installed in each rack is entered on the Modem Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the chassis to 15.

Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the speciﬁed address range in each rack. Thus, in a single power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address 1 to address 15

Note The 1001MC is always address 0.

The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. In a redundant power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from

address 1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 14.

The daisy chained racks are set up in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the change through the 1001MC web pages.

Switch S1 allows an 8 bit address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address. Bit S1-8 is the least signiﬁcant bit. A bit set to ON is considered a 0. A bit set to OFF is considered a 1. Patton Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack (farthest away from the power supplies) and increment the numbers by one as you go from left to right. Setting the addresses in this manner will make conﬁguration easier as you start using the web page management. An example of this is shown below.

Hardware setup for a Model 1095RC

The following must be done to conﬁgure your Model 1095RC hardware for use with the Model 1001MC network management station:

• Connect frame ground to signal ground (see section “Conﬁguring frame ground”)

• Set the system address (see section “Setting the 1094ARC system address”)

When you are ﬁnished, install the Model 1095RC front card and rear I/O card using the installation procedures in the manual that came with the modem.

Conﬁguring frame ground

The Model 1001MC uses an internal bus to communicate with the NetLink modems installed in your system. The Model 1095RC rear I/O card must have frame ground (GND) connected to signal GND through a 100ohm resistor. This is done by conﬁguring a jumper on the modem’s rear I/O card. Refer to the installation manual that came with the rack card for more information on this jumper setting.

Setting the 1095RC system address

The manual that was shipped with the 1095RC deﬁnes switch S1 as Address. This switch sets the address of the modem in the NetLink system. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of switch S1.

Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-

nected to.

Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends poll messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed in the system. Once a card is found it is placed online and communication with the management station can begin.

If the address of the NetLink modem is not conﬁgured or does not match the address range of the rack that it is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined by the conﬁguration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software conﬁguration within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware conﬁguration of the system.

Polling rack #1 and daisy-chained racks. The Model 1001MC uses the number of power supplies in the system to determine what the address range of the individual racks will be. The number of power supplies installed in each rack is entered on the Modem Information page. If the system is set for two power supplies installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available (displayed on the Modem Information page) in the chassis to 13. If the system is set for a single power supply installed, the 1001MC will automatically set the number of slots available in the chassis to 15.

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 2 • Hardware installation

Using this information, the Model 1001MC will poll the speciﬁed address range in each rack. Thus, in a single power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address 1 to address 15

Note The 1001MC is always address 0.

The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 16. In a redundant power supply system, the address range for rack #1 (the rack with the 1001MC installed) will be from address 1 to address 13. The 1001MC will then begin polling rack #2 on the daisy chain port starting from address 14.

The daisy chained racks are set up in the same manner with 13 addresses being available in a redundant system and 15 addresses being available in single supply system. When you disable a rack the addresses are still set aside for that rack space. If a power supply is removed, the addressing will not change unless you make the change through the 1001MC web pages. This allows easy service of the power supplies.

If the address is 0 (all ON position), then the unit will run completely from its DIP-switch conﬁguration. This can be useful for testing circuits independently of the management system. If an address is placed on the switch, the unit will boot from its stored ﬂash conﬁguration and begin looking for poll commands from the Model 1001MC.

Switch S1 allows an 8 bit address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address. Bit S1-8 is the least signiﬁcant bit. A bit set to ON is considered a 0. A bit set to OFF is considered a 1. Patton Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack (farthest away from the power supplies) and increment the numbers by one as you go from left to right. Setting the addresses in this manner will make conﬁguration easier as you start using the web page management. An example of this is shown below.

Setting the 2701RC system address

The manual that was shipped with your NetLink-E1 unit speciﬁes switch S3 for the card address in the NetLink System. Each card in the chassis is given a unique address through the setting of switch S3.

Note Standalone units use the address of the rack card that they are con-

nected to.

Polling overview. The Model 1001MC sends “poll” messages along the internal bus looking for cards installed in the system. Once a card is found it is placed “online” and communication with the management station can begin.

If the address of the NetLink modem is not conﬁgured or does not match the address range of the rack that it is installed in, the Model 1001MC may not recognize the card. The address range that is polled is determined by the conﬁguration of the system. The system administrator must make sure that the software conﬁguration within the Model 1001MC matches the hardware conﬁguration of the system.

This allows easy service of the power supplies.

The 2701RCs are shipped to use DIP switch conﬁguration as default. Software conﬁguration can be enabled through either the VT-100 screens or through the 1001MC NMS. To use the NMS, switch S2-7 must be set to the “OFF” position, otherwise the VT-100 port is active.

Switch S3 allows a decimal address to be assigned to a link. The following rules apply to setting the address:

• S3-1 is the LSB and S3-8 is the MSB

• Patton Electronics suggests that you set your addresses starting with address 1 at the far left of your rack

(farthest away from the power supplies) and increment the numbers by one as you go from left to right. Setting the addresses in this manner will make conﬁguration easier as you start using the web page management. An example of this is below.
