Power Cord
FCC Warning
The NetBlazer can be used only with a power cord that meets the rating of the unit, that is,
1.5A/250V. THE POWER CORD MUST BE APPROVED ACCORDING TO THE
STANDARDS OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE UNIT IS USED. Telebit is not
responsible for damages or losses caused by the use of the unit with an underrated,
nonstandard, and unapproved power cord.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when this equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates and uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with Telebit, Inc. manuals,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own expense.
Operation of this equipment is subject to the following conditions:
1.
This equipment may not cause harmful interference, and
2.
This equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
SHIELDED CABLES:
limits for a Class A computing device. The testing was done with the use of shielded cables.
The use of any cable other than the shielded type will certainly mean your system will emit
excess amounts of radio frequency interference thereby increasing the likelihood of
interference. Therefore, in order to comply with the FCC Regulations, it is necessary that
you use good quality cables.

Caution:
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Canadian Notices
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A a respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le
matériel brouilleur du Canada.
CE Marking Statement
In certain countries, this equipment meets the Low Voltage and EMC Directives of the
European Union. The CE marking is applied to this equipment with regards to those
directives.
EN 55022 Warning
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Warning
The total of all adapter boards installed in this NetBlazer product must not exceed the
power specifications stated in this manual. All additional boards having a direct connection
to the public network must have the mandatory approvals.
With the NetBlazer STi and 40i, indirect connections to the Wide Area Network (WAN)
are established with synchronous, asynchronous, or ISDN plug-in boards. These devices
must comply with the requirements of the country in which they are used. The interface
parts must meet minimum clearance and creepage distances with respect to other internal
parts in order to meet the international and local safety requirements.
Likewise, external devices attached via the plug-in board’s synchronous or asynchronous
ports must comply with the requirements of the country in which they are used.
90453-02 Rev A0 vii
Book Page viii Thursday, March 27, 1997 10:55 AM
To maintain the independent approval of the X.21 board, it is essential that, when other
option boards are introduced that use or generate a hazardous voltage, the minimum
creepages and clearances specified in the table below are maintained. A hazardous voltage
is one that exceeds 42.4V peak a.c. or 60V d.c. If you are in doubt, seek the advice of a
competent engineer.
dc
Clearance (mm) Creepage (mm)
2.0 2.4 (3.8) Up to 50 V
2.6 3.0 (4.8) Up to 125 V
4.0 5.0 (8.0) Up to 250 V
4.0 6.4 (10.0) Up to 300 V
For a host or other expansion board fitted in the
host, using or generating voltages
greater than
300V (rms or dc), advice from a competent telecommunications safety engineer must be obtained
before installation of the relevant equipment.

Introduction 1
The first two sections of this chapter provide an overview of the NetBlazer
STi and NetBlazer 40i products and briefly describe the applications for
which these products are suited. A list of the option boards for the NetBlazer
STi and NetBlazer 40i are provided. If you need to preconfigure or change
existing configuration settings in an option board, you will be directed to refer to the appropriate option board document.
The Preinstallation Planning section on page 1-9 suggests what you can do
before you install your NetBlazer.
The NetBlazer STi and NetBlazer 40i support the most popular LAN and
WAN environments, with up to three Ethernet and/or Token Ring LAN
connections, asynchronous connections up to 64 ports, synchronous connections up to 10 ports, or up to 24 ISDN B channels. Both models provide
WAN access over ISDN, frame relay, Switched 56, leased lines up to T1/E1
speeds, and support high-speed analog dial-up modems. The NetBlazer STi
and 40i also have 12 megabytes of system memory.
NetBlazer STi Description
The NetBlazer STi, shown in Figure 1-1, is a rack-mountable or desktop
device suited for installation in regional sites as a dial-up router linking one
or two Ethernet or Token Ring LANs to an enterprise-wide network. Its
ability to use synchronous ports makes it a cost-effective leased-line router,
a leased-line backup device, or a router for switched digital services such as
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Switched 56. When used
with a NetBlazer MTA32 Rack Adapter, the NetBlazer STi can also act as
a remote-access communications server for telecommuting applications that
require up to 32 serial ports for modems.

Figure 1-3 shows a typical NetBlazer STi rear panel. The chassis I/O ports,
line00 and line01, are RS-232 9-pin ports available for connection to a
modem or asynchronous terminal at speeds up to 115.2 Kbps. The console
port is also an RS-232 serial port for use with an asynchronous terminal operating at 9600 baud. The NetBlazer STi includes 12 megabytes of system
memory.

NetBlazer 40i Description
The NetBlazer 40i, shown in Figure 1-4, is the most powerful member of
the NetBlazer line of modular routers. The NetBlazer 40i is designed as a
large multiport solution where a high-speed processor and performance is
critical. It is designed for mounting in a 19-inch rack, or can be used on a
desktop or shelf. Applications for which the NetBlazer 40i is suited include
central sites that need up to 32 serial modem ports (NetBlazer 40i with a
NetBlazer MTA32 Rack Adapter).
