MODULAR MODEM ELIMINATOR

3. Installation

3.1 General

The Modular Modem Eliminator is designed for installation as a desktop unit,
however, a rackmount kit is available (ordered separately, part number RM518).

Mechanical and electrical installation procedures for the Modular Modem

Eliminator are provided in the following paragraphs. These procedures include
the setting of internal jumpers, and the installation of interface modules.

ACKAGE

After unpacking the Modular Modem Eliminator, check all components for
damage. Your package should include the following items. Call Black Box
immediately at 724-746-5500 if any items are missing or if you suspect damage. 

• Modular Modem Eliminator

• 115-VAC (with ME260A) or 230-VAC (with ME260AE) power supply

• This User Manual

The Modular Modem Eliminator accepts two Interface Modules, which are

ordered separately (see 

Section 2.2.2

for a description of available modules). 

Each Module package should include the following items:

• Interface Module

• This User Manual

EQUIREMENTS

Power

The Modular Modem Eliminator should be installed within 5 feet (1.5 m) of an
easily accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing 115 VAC (for ME260A)
or 230 VAC (for ME260AE).

Data Channel Connections

The Modular Modem Eliminator has two data channel interface connectors, 
one on each plug-in interface module.

Ambient Requirements

The ambient operating temperature of the Modular Modem Eliminator should 
be 32 to 122 °F (0 to 50 °C), at a relative humidity of up to 95%, non-condensing.
