2. Installation
The step-by-step procedure of installing the E1 Plus converter is explained in the
followings.
Configuration
Before connecting the E1 Plus device to the E1 and optical network, the
operating parameters for the desired configuration should be set up. These
parameters should match with the connected E1 equipment and network
parameters and can be set up by DIP switches and jumpers. The jumpers and
part of the DIP switches are situated inside the unit and will become accessible
only after removing the cover of the unit. Please see the Configuration section of
this manual for more details.
E1 Line Connection
After making sure that the settings of the equipment are appropriate for the
current configuration, the E1 line can be connected to the selected interface. If
you use the unbalanced interface, please pay attention to the TX/RX directions.
When the balanced interface is used, compare the pinout specification of the E1
Plus unit and the E1 equipment to be connected and use a proper cable for the
interconnection.
Fiber Connection
Verify that the connectors of the equipment and the optical network are
compatible. Connect the TX side of the opposite unit to the RX port and the RX
side of the remote device to the TX port of the local equipment.
Power connection
The E1 converter can be ordered with three different power supply options, 230
VAC, 110 VAC and 48VDC. Check your unit before connecting it to the power
source. Incorrect power connection can cause permanent damage to the
equipment. After all the cable connections are arranged, turn the power switch to
ON position. The Power LED on the front side of the unit should be on, and if
the cable connections were made properly and the connected equipments are
operational the RX and TX status LED’s should light both on the E1 and copper
side.
