3.3 Setup
This section describes the electrical setup and adjustment of the EV9000 hardware. Because the
EV9000 hardware supports different modems and configurations, some setup is performed before
the application of power. After power is applied, hardware adjustments to gain and bias circuits
may be made and verified. If you have not already done so, review Section 1.9 and install the
EV9000 software on your PC as described in Section 4.2. In addition, refer to Section 3.2 to gain
an understanding of the hardware functions before proceeding.
This section describes and explains the factory hardware adjustment procedure. Similar
techniques may be applied for user configured situations. CMX909B, CMX969, FX919B and
FX929B are all set up using the same procedure, described below:
3.3.1 Unpowered
1.
Review Section 3.2.5 and install jumpers into their default positions.
2.
Select which type of modem to test. The EV9000 comes with CMX909B modems installed
along with their appropriate personality plug-in boards. If you want to use a different modem,
carefully remove the installed modems with an IC extraction tool and install a matching pair
of modems. (If you do not have an extraction tool, a small flat bladed screwdriver can be
very carefully inserted between the IC and its socket at each end. Do this a little bit at a time,
twisting the screwdriver blade and alternating between each end of the IC until it lifts free of
its socket. Take care not to lever against other components or the PC board as they may be
damaged.) Make sure you properly orient the ICs to ensure pin 1 is in the proper socket
location, as per Figure 1.
3.
Connect the appropriate crystal into the circuit according to the following directions:
•
If CMX909B modems are installed, change jumpers E5, E6, E10 and E11 to position A.
•
If CMX969, FX919B or FX929B modems are installed, change jumpers E5, E6, E10 and
E11 to position B. (For more information, see Table 12 and Figure 10)
4.
Select and carefully install the appropriate pair of personality plug-ins to match the selected
modem according to Table 2.
5.
Without connecting them to the EV9000, turn on the power supplies and adjust their output
voltages to values within the specifications indicated in Table 3. Turn off the supplies and
connect them to the appropriate EV9000 connectors.
6.
Turn on the power supplies. If everything seems ok (supply current is within reason),
connect the PC to the EV9000 parallel port.
3.3.2 Powered
Execute Test 1: "PC Interface Test", as described in Section 4.6.1, to verify communications
between the EV9000 and the PC. The current consumption of each modem can be measured by
removing the relevant jumper (E18 for modem A and E17 for modem B) and replacing it with a
multimeter.
3.3.2.1 Trim TxB and RxA paths
Table 14 details the procedure for trimming TxB and RxA signal paths. Note that if +5VM is
changed then this procedure will have to be repeated. This is because the bias points remain
static compared to ½ of +5VM. Also, for best performance, the pk-pk voltage of the signal at the
RXFB pin should be set to 20% of +5VM. Care must be exercised in setting the dc levels
accurately, as the variable resistors R15, R16, R17, R30 and R46 all swing b5V and -5V
in less than one turn.
