MX-2100/2104
Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 1 General Information
Application Considerations
1-37
•
There is no indication for the remote loss of frame synchronization, or for the
loops connected at the remote end of the link.
•
Remote channel loops are activated on the local channel, therefore such loops
return data toward the remote MX-2100.
•
It is not possible to simultaneously activate local and remote loops.
•
To perform channel tests by tone injection (voice channels) or pseudo-random
sequence transmission test (data channels), it is necessary to activate a local
main link loop, or to make an appropriate loopback connection at the remote
end of the link.
Management Communication Port
MX-2100 is available with a Supervisory Port Connector (Control port) and with
one of the following three Management Port interfaces on the KCL.2 module:
•
MNG
: 9-pin Dial Port
•
ETHERNET
: UTP Ethernet interface
•
ETHERNET
: BNC Ethernet interface.
Supervisory Port Connector
The 9-pin D-type female type connector located on the KCL.2 module (the
Supervisory Port connector) can be used to manage the MX-2100 unit by means of
an ASCII terminal, a network management station, or TELNET over SLIP. The
communication parameters of this port can be selected in accordance with system
requirements:
•
Data rate
- 9.6 - for use with ASCII terminal or SLIP connection
- 19.2, 38.4 or 57.6 kbps - for use with SLIP connection only.
•
Word format
- One start bit
- Seven or eight data bits
- Even, odd or no parity
- One stop bit.
•
Interface type
- DCE or DTE (user selectable).
Ethernet Port
The KCL.2 module can be ordered with either a UTP or a BNC Ethernet
connector.
Dial Port Connector
The KCL module can be ordered with an additional, 9-pin D-type female type
connector as the MNG port.
This port is intended for connection to a Hayes
or Hayes-compatible dial-up
modem. The reporting method can be programmed by the user, in accordance
with the following options:
•
Always send a report whenever a new alarm or event condition is detected
•
Reporting disabled (no dial-out function).
