FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
Chassis Dimensions
When planning the equipment location, consider the chassis dimensions:
• Height—1 rack unit, 1.75 inches (4.5 cm)
• Depth—16 inches (40.65 cm)
• Width—17.5 inches (44.45cm)
• Weight—7.85 pounds, 3.56 kilograms
Cabling and Cooling
Requirements
Observe these precautions when placing your FS4:
• Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the chassis. Ensure that cable
connectors are not stressed and cables are not bent or crimped.
• When rack mounting or stacking multiple FS4 chassis, ensure adequate airspace for
cooling around the FS4 units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment next
to the FS4 and ensure none are obstructed.
NOTE:
FS4 units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate supply of cool
air around the FS4 side vents.
Power
Requirements
The FS4 requires the following input voltage and power.
• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz,
fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated.
• Power Consumption—55 Watts (70 Watts maximum)
Networking
You can network the FS4 directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single
Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over), or connect it to a local area network (LAN). In
either case, the FS4 connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet connector. A LAN is a
shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via a hub or digital
switch. LANs may be divided into zones separated by software or hardware routers.
Routers may also be used to connect the LAN to an outside wide area network (WAN)
such as the internet.
Devices on a LAN have IP addresses which may be fixed and permanent or dynamically
assigned by the network (DHCP). When attaching the FS4 to a LAN, talk to your network
administrator to find out how they want it connected (static IP or DHCP). Your IT
department will be able to supply the information you need to install the FS4 on a LAN.
FS4 Default
Network Settings
The FS4 ships from the factory set for DHCP networking, and can be manually reset to the
following default network settings:
The following topics discuss two ways to set up the unit to communicate over a TCP/IP
network connection: via DHCP or via a static IP address.
