Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for choosing the Megatel FOM01-MUX Fiber Optic Multiplexer. If you would like to skip right to the installation and configuration of the Multiplexer, proceed to Chapters 3 and 4. The FOM01-MUX is a 1U (1.75") high standalone or 19" rack mountable E1/T1/Data/LAN Bridge multiplexer over fiber link, built upon a highly modular design. The FOM01-MUX provides an economic optical connection solution in high-density E1 and/or T1 installations such as between central offices. By utilizing a modular design, a large variety of configurations may be realized and the unit may be custom tailored for each specific application. The 4-CHANNEL E1, T1, V.35 (X.21/RS-530/RS-449) data, Ethernet Bridge Port cards and optical interface card are all optional. The standard unit is a chassis with local control and provisions for single or dual power. The appropriate optical interface card may be selected to support multi-mode or single-mode fiber cable operation, with or without redundancy. Optical interface connections may be chosen from a wide variety of connectors including ST, SC, FC, LC, or MT-RJ. WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) optical interfaces are also available. The range of transmission for optical connection is from 2Km (for multi-mode) up to 120Km (single mode). Optional External Clock Card (external or internal clock source) and SNMP Card (for local and remote management purposes) may be installed in the chassis.

Chapter 1. Introduction
The 4-CHANNEL T1 Port Card provides four RJ-45 (100 Ohm balanced) connectors for T1(DS1) Line interface connections and supports four separate T1 (DS1) channels at a transmission rate of 1544Kbps (transparent unframed T1) each. The 4-CHANNEL Data Port Card provides four standard nx56/nx64Kbps, up to 2048Kbps for V.35 (or X.21, RS-530, RS-449, RS-232) DCE ports on MB34 (DB15, DB25, DB37, DB25) female or male connectors (required adapter cables optional) for direct connection to terminal equipment. The Ethernet Bridge Port Card provides an RJ-45 connector for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet (auto negotiation) connections. The bridging function provides LAN to LAN segment links which operate under the same network address space. When any port card is inserted in a slot, LEDs on the front panel will show both the channel statuses and any alarm indications. The FOM01-MUX E1 and T1 Interface Cards fully meet all E1 and T1 specifications including ITU-T G.703, G.732, G.733, G.823 and G.824. The Bridge Interface Card meets all Ethernet specifications for IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u. Each 4-CHANNEL Port Card features diagnostic capabilities for performing local loop back or remote loop back (except for Ethernet Bridge card). The loop back function is controlled by the front panel LCD menu, terminal mode (RS-232 console) or via option SNMP. Up to five clock source selections are provided. Without the external clock card option, the unit operates from clock recovery only. When the external clock card option is installed, additional clock sources may be selected from an additional internal oscillator (located on the option card) or from an external clock references for E1 PCM, E1 TTL, T1 PCM, or T1 TTL. All E1 and T1 connected equipment must recover or slave their timing to the FOM01-MUX 's internal oscillator or from an external reference clock (with option). When the FOM01-MUX is ordered with an optional SNMP Card, the card is installed inside the chassis. Configuration is accomplished via local control on the asynchronous RS-232 port with a standard VT-100 terminal, via Ethernet and Telnet, or via any standard SNMP network management software over Ethernet. If the SNMP Card option is not installed, local and remote management are still possible via the units internal menu system accessible from the front panel LCD and menu keys, or via the asynchronous RS-232 port with a standard VT-100 terminal.

Chapter 1. Introduction
1.4 E1 Signal Structure
E1 link line rate The E1 line operates at a nominal rate of 2.048Mbps. E1 link line coding The basic E1 line signal is coded using either the Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) or HDB3 rule. In the AMI format, "ones" are alternately transmitted as positive and negative pulses, whereas "zeros" are transmitted as a zero voltage level. AMI is not used in most 2.048Mbps transmissions because synchronization loss occurs during long strings of data zeros. In the HDB3 format, a string of four consecutive zeros is replaced with a substitute string of pulses containing an intentional bipolar violation. The HDB3 code substitutions provide high pulse density so that the receiving equipment is able to maintain synchronization with the received signal. The 4-CHANNEL E1 Port Card supports two E1 line codes: AMI coding. HDB3 coding. The 4-CHANNEL E1 Port Card supports only transparent unframed format.

BRIDGE SPECIFICATIONS
Compliance: Connector: Data Rate: Filtering and Forwarding: Delay: WAN Protocol: Filter: When this feature is disabled (DIP1-1 OFF), all frames are passed transparently. In this configuration, the ET100 acts as an Ethernet repeater. When the filter is enabled (DIP-1 ON), frame destinations are tested against the internal MAC address table. Filtering enabled is the normal selection for Bridging. Auto Negotiation: When this feature is disabled (DIP1-3 ON), the LAN configuration is defined by the Duplex (DIP-4) and Speed (DIP-5) settings. This is the preferred method of configuration, but requires the specific knowledge of the capabilities of the device to which the bridge is connected. Failure to make the proper Ethernet settings can result in reduced LAN performance or in worst case, no LAN function at all. When Auto Negotiation is enabled (DIP-3 OFF), by default, the bridge will try to determine the proper speed and duplexity of the connected device. If the negotiation fails, as it will with a legacy device that doesn't support auto-negotiation, the settings will fallback to 10Mpbs speed and Half Duplex for compatibility.

3.5 Removal/Replacement Procedures
3-5-1. Optical Module Removal / Replacement ****CAUTION**** All removal/replacement procedures must be done with all power sources disconnected. The optical interface is installed into the front of the FOM01-MUX . The front plane of the internal mainboard provides both DC power to the optical interface card and routes signals from the card to the multiplexing/de-multiplexing circuitry. Two interface connector groups are provided for connection to either the primary optical transmit and receive pair or to the redundant optical transmit and receive pair (if the optical interface card as the redundant optical option). From here, the de-multiplexed signals are sent to the individual 4-CHANNEL Card module/channel installed in the rear of the unit (see 3-5-2 for removal/replacement procedures). To remove the interface module, loosen the two upper and one lower thumb screws by hand or if tight with a flat head screwdriver. Then gently pull the card straight forward to avoid binding. The card is only held by the friction of the connector. To install the optical module, reverse the procedure, taking care when seating the module to avoid connector damage. Gently, don't force it! Re-tighten the three thumb screws and don't over-tighten.

3-5-3 Top cover Removal / Replacement for internal access Normally, there is no need to remove the cover of the unit. All interface cards can be removed and replaced without the need to access the internal portion of the FOM01-MUX . However, to change any AC or DC power module, add the SNMP and/or External clock feature, or to change the internal firmware, internal access is required and the cover must be removed. ***CAUTION*** This procedure should only be performed by qualified service personnel. In addition, all power connections must be removed before attempting to open the case. 1. If the unit is installed in a rack, it must be removed. 2. The rack mounting "ears" must both be removed. 3. Follow the procedure in 3-5-2 and remove the Port No. 2 4-Channel Port module. 4. The top cover is held in place by seven screws. Remove the two upper screws on each side of the unit. 5. From the back of the unit, remove the upper screws on the far left, far right, and center of the unit. (The center screw is hidden unless the No.2 Port module is removed.) 6. Use your finger to push up the top panel through the open Port No.2 hole. 7. Once the back of the top panel is up and cleared, pull it towards the rear of the unit so that the panel slides out from under the lip of the front cover. The internals are now exposed. Follow the procedure in reverse to re-install the top panel. Install the screws in the reverse order as well, starting with the rear panel center screw, then the left and right rear panel screws and lastly the side panel screws.

The FOM01-MUX Control Port (labeled RS-232 CONSOLE on the front panel) is a console terminal port designed to facilitate setup of all parameters through the use of a standard text based terminal or any terminal emulation program running on a Personal Computer.
4-2 Terminal Connection A notebook computer has become an invaluable tool of the Systems Engineer. Connection to the computer is very straight forward. The only other hardware required is a RJ-45 to DB9F adapter cable (see page 1-6 for pinout). The FOM01-MUX 's RS-232 Console port acts as a DCE to the PC's DTE communications port. A convenient application, provided with the Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2K operating systems, is "HyperTerminal". Set the properties to match the FOM01-MUX control port defaults as follows: Baud=19200, Data bits=8, Parity=None, Stop bits=1, and handshaking =none. Make the appropriate connections, start the terminal application, apply power to the FOM01-MUX , then press ENTER on the PC keyboard. If you are using "HyperTerminal" the display should look like that on the following page.

The System Status display gives a overview of the entire system, both local and remote unit, the channel conditions, optical connections, and power supply status. In the above display note that only a Port 1 card is installed and that all 4 channels (1A~1B) are in service (v) without any errors from local or remote side. The optical 1 (O1) connection is in service (v) and optical 2 (O2) is in standby (S) mode. Only one power supply (P1) is active in both local and remote side units. The display screen will refresh every 5 seconds. Of course if the optical link is completely lost then no status information will be available from the remote side, all fields will go blank, and the refresh will take more than 20 seconds. Another important diagnostic display of the MUX is the Alarm Buffer display. Note that it is item three on the root menu. If we press "3" the Alarm Buffer will display.

The SNMP management functions of the FOM01-MUX are provided by an internal SNMP agent, which utilizes out-of-band communication over standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet. The SNMP agent is compliant with the SNMPv1 standard. SNMP communication uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). UDP is a connectionless transport protocol, part of the IP suite. The SNMP application uses an asynchronous command/response polling protocol and operates at the OSI Layer 7 (Layer 7 is the Application Layer. Other IP applications that operate at this layer are FTP, Telnet, SMTP, etc.). All management traffic is initiated by the SNMP-based network management station. Only the addressed managed entity (agent) answers the polling of the management station (except for trap messages).
