Stand-alone Modems and Enclosure Cards: Differences
The 326X Series Modem card front panel differs from that of the stand-alone 326X
Series Modem. As shown in Figure 1, the 3262, 3263, 3267, and 3268 Modem cards
have eight front-panel LEDs. Stand-alone 326X Series Modems do not have two of
these:
• A/B LED
• ALM LED
These two LEDs are described here.
Figure 1. 326X Series Modem Card Front Panel
A/B Switching and the A/B LED
With the 3262 and the 3267 Modem card (dial-only), two modems (A and B) share a
single card and front panel. One modem controls the front panel display and LEDs at
a time. The A/B LED indicates which front panel display and LEDs you are
currently viewing. When the A/B LED is:
• Lit (green), modem A front panel information is being displayed
• Not lit, modem B front panel information is being displayed
To toggle between the displays, hold down , and press .
Since the 3263 and the 3268 Modem cards (leased line with dial restoral) contain
only one modem, the A/B LED is always lit (green).
ALM LED
The ALM LED lights (yellow) when a test is in progress or a modem failure occurs.
With the Dual Dial Modem card, if one modem fails or is being tested, the ALM
LED lights and remains lit regardless of which modem front panel is displayed.
To find out which modem failed, toggle between the front panels of modems A and
B by holding down , and pressing . The failed modem displays:
ERRORxxx
Note
If modem A has control and the network manager puts modem B into test mode,
modem B’s ALM LED lights.
The A/B and ALM LED's are not featured in stand-alone modems.

Telephone Company Compliance—U.S.A. Models
The Telenetics 326X Series Modem complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. The
modem card includes a label with the FCC registration number for this equipment. If
requested by the telephone company, you must provide this information. Generally,
the ringer equivalence number (REN) is also requested for telephone equipment. The
REN is listed on the FCC registration label.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. The sum of the RENs should not exceed
five. To be certain of the number of devices that can be connected to the line, contact
the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
NOTE: The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect equipment operation. If this happens, the
telephone company will notify you in advance so that you can make the necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ11C, RJ16C, RJ45S, RJ4MB,
and for the leased line, JM8.
Refer to the 326X Series Modem User’s Guide, Appendix C, Country-Specific
Information, for regulatory agency information for your country.
Backplane Jumpers for the Busy Out Feature
This section applies to countries that use the “Universal International” (UI) Modular
Nest enclosure backplane.
This section also is of interest to users in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
Hong Kong and the United Kingdom
IMPORTANT: In Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, do not install a 3268 or
3268FAST Modem (leased line with dial restoral) in a Busy Out backplane.
The modem will not function.
In Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, Busy Out backplanes are hard-wired for
Busy Out operation. These backplanes do not use pin jumpers.

Countries That Support Busy Out
Some backplanes have a Busy Out feature and are intended for use with dial modems
(models 3262 and 3267). In some countries, leased modems (models 3263 and 3268)
use Busy Out for dial restoral. The following table shows which countries use the
Busy Out feature.
How and When is Make Busy Activated?
Make Busy versions of Modular Nest 9 and Modular Nest 21 backplanes (which
install in a Modular Nest enclosure with card modems) come equipped with the
Busy Out feature. This feature causes a Busy Out modem to “appear busy” to the
central office when:
• Power is disconnected from the Modular Nest enclosure
• The modem card is not present in its slot
• Busy Out=ON (the option is set through the front panel menu, the AT ACU,
or a network manager)
Busy Out is intended for use with Model 3262 and 3267 dial modems. In some
countries, it is also used in dial-restoral mode on Model 3263 and 3268 leased line
modems.

326X Series Modem—Cabling to a Network Manager
This section describes how to set the 326X Series Modem backplane NMS Bus DIP
switches for network management. It also describes the proper sequence for
connecting to a Network Management System (NMS).
When cabling 326X Series Modem enclosure cards to a network manager:
• The network control (NC) master is a modem that receives network
management polls and responds over the digital NC interface. NC polls are
generated by the manager and passed to the local or remote site. NC responses
are generated:
- By the modems at the local site and passed to the manager site
- By the modems at the remote site and passed to the manager site
• The NC slave is a modem that receives NC polls and responds over the audio
interface (dial or leased line).
• When you divide an enclosure into groups, each group represents a single NC
channel. The enclosure can operate with some slots empty, but at least one
card must be in the “master slot” of each group to allow NC signaling for
other slots in that group. The master slot corresponds to the NC IN/NC OUT
connectors.
The network manager regards all 326X Series Modems included in a group and their
associated slaves as operating on a single NC channel. For proper network
management operation on a single NC channel, each modem and its associated
slaves must have a unique NC address. The total number of 326Xs on one NC
channel must not exceed the maximum number of devices per channel supported by
the network manager. See your NMS documentation for details.

Figure 8 shows a single NC command flow path. In the figure, the local masters
receive network control from a single network manager source.
Figure 8. Leased or Dial Line Network Managed Command Flow Path
Each 326X Series Modem backplane provides network control (NC) ports for
connection to a Network Manager:
• The 21-card backplane has four NC ports (NC 1 - NC 4)
• The 9-card backplane has two NC ports (NC 1 and NC 2)
• The 1-card backplanes each have one NC port
With the 1-card backplane, the NC port is only for the modem occupying that slot,
but with the 9-, and 21-card backplanes, one NC port is assigned to serve a group of
4, 5, or 6 modem cards as outlined in Table 4.

A group’s network management signaling is passed along a multi-drop bus in the
backplane to each NC port. One slot of each group is the Bus Master slot (NC 1 for
group 1, NC 2 for group 2, etc.). The group number is identified by the Bus Master
slot number (e.g., Group 1 uses Bus 1 Master slot). For a group’s NC port to work, its
Bus Master slot must be occupied. Figures 9 and 10 show this for each backplane.

Setting Control Across Groups
You can use cables to daisy-chain NC ports on 326X Series Modem cards, as you can
with stand-alone modems. With 9- and 21-card backplanes, you can also set NMS
Bus DIP switches on the backplane so that all NC signaling is bussed to one NC Port.
To bus two or more groups’ NC signaling to one NC Port using Bus DIP switches:
• Groups must be contiguous (Group 3 to Group 2 to Group 1)
• The NC port you plan to use must be the lowest-numbered NC port, and it
must have its Bus Master slot occupied
• The NMS Bus DIP switch between groups whose signals are to be bussed to a
common NC port must have all six positions set to the low number (if all six
positions are set to the high number, daisy-chaining is disabled)
Caution
Do not mix switch settings to high and low numbers. This causes interference with
Network Control signaling.
Example
For example, to bus signals from group 2 to group 1’s NC port:
1) Ensure that Bus 1 Master slot is occupied. Other slots in groups 1
and 2 need not be (because the backplane uses a “multi-drop bus,”
successful bussing of NC signaling along the backplane takes place
even when slots are unoccupied).
2) On the backplane, locate the NMS Bus DIP switch between Bus 1
Master slot and Bus 2 Master slot (Figure 11). Set all six NMS Bus
DIP switches to 1.
3) Connect the network management cable (supplied with your
network manager) from the Bus 1 Master slot NC IN port to the
network manager.
Figure 11 illustrates this example.

Figure 11. Combining NC Ports With Backplane NMS Bus DIP Switches
Cautions and Limitations for Network Management Cabling
The enclosure daisy-chain (leased line) interface and the multi-drop (dial line) bus
features do not support certain NC cabling applications. You can connect multiple
NC Master modems to operate in a daisy-chain or operate in a multi-drop bus
configuration. However, there can be only one NC slave configured in an enclosure
multi-drop bus group or daisy-chain.
Check your NMS documentation for the maximum number of modems per channel.
Do not bus more modem NC signals to a single NC port than the network manager
can handle on a single channel.
Some applications require multiple NC slaves in an enclosure using the multi-drop
NC bus. In this case, use the larger backplanes to accommodate multiple groups. For
example, one NC slave is allowed for each group. For the number of groups that
each backplane can accommodate and the number of modem cards in those slots,
refer to Table 4.

If the application requires more NC slaves than the larger backplanes have groups,
connect multiple backplanes in the enclosure using the 1-card backplane.
When combining backplanes in an enclosure, one modem card slot is lost for each
type of backplane that is used. For example, two 9-modem card backplanes in an
enclosure occupy 19 slots. Therefore, two 9-modem card backplanes and one 1modem card backplane results in the use of only 19 326Xs in a 21-modem card
enclosure. The maximum number of backplanes that can be combined in a 21modem card enclosure is 11 1-modem card backplanes.
Daisy-Chaining NC Ports: Card Modems to Stand-alone Modems
When daisy-chaining NC ports between a modem card and a stand-alone modem, be
aware of the following condition.
If a 326X Series Modem card is located between a Network Manager and a
stand-alone modem, the modem must have software revision level 3.0 or higher
(Figure 12).

There are two ways to determine your modem’s software revision number.
From the modem front panel:
1) Press the appropriate front panel control key (from your location in the
configuration menu structure) until the following (for example) appears:
Data 9600 T/D?
2) Press until the Operating Status appears (for example):
DTE 19.2 RELIABL
3) Press until the following appears:
Display Modem ID
4) Press . The following appears:
SWPart=xxxxxxxx
The rightmost two digits indicate the software revision level. Ensure that they are
“30” (meaning software revision level 3.0) or higher.
Using an AT Command:
Enter AT& IO from the control terminal. The 8-digit software part number appears.
The software revision number is indicated by the rightmost two digits.
If a stand-alone modem is located between a Network Manager and a card modem,
software revision levels are not an issue. Figure 13 illustrates this condition.

Installing or Replacing a 326X Backplane
Caution
Power down the unit before you begin.
To install or replace a backplane in a Modular Nest 9 or 21 enclosure (Figure 14):
1) Ensure the enclosure is powered down.
2) Using the alignment guides on the backplane and enclosure to line up
the backplane between the screw holes on the top and bottom of the
enclosure, first insert the bottom of the backplane (A), and then rotate
the top of the backplane into position (B). Do not to bend any pins on
the connector.
3) Push down slightly on the base of the backplane (C), ensuring that the
backplane connectors are aligned.
4) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, secure the backplane to the enclosure
with the fasteners supplied. Fasten the base first, then the top.
5) Remove all cards and power supplies from the front of the enclosure.
6) Set an Ohm-meter a minimum 20 Ω range. Measure the resistance
between the following pairs of J2 test-connector pins:
• If all readings register as open circuits, the backplane connectors are not
short-circuited. Go on to the next step.
• If any reading registers resistance, the backplane connectors are short-
circuited. Remove the backplane (using the procedure above), and
carefully straighten any bent or broken pins. Reinsert the backplane
(using this procedure).
If you cannot resolve a problem, call the Telenetics Customer Support
Center.
7)Re-install the cards and power supplies that were removed when you
removed the backplane.
8)Power up the enclosure.
