2. 4 Configure the BC1X00
The bit-switches on the underside of the unit must be set for the operation you require. The
options for setting up are described in the next section of this guide. Note that set-up
instructions are separately described for the BC1000 and the BC1100.
2. 5 Safety note on port connections
Ports that are identified as SELV in this guide must only be connected to SELV ports on other
equipment in accordance with EN60950 Clause 2.3.
2. 6 Connect the HSSI port.
The HSSI port of the BC1X00 is presented on an industry standard miniature 50 way
connector. The same connector is used for both the BC1000 DTE and BC1100 DCE ports.
HSSI is a fault tolerant interface and should not be damaged by connecting similar port
types- e.g. DTE to DTE or DCE to DCE. In such circumstances, however, normal operation
will not be possible.
2. 7 EIA-644/LVDS port
The LVDS port is presented on a 25-way D type connector. The BC1000 presents a DCE
interface on a female connector. The BC1100 presents a DTE interface on a male connector.
The LVDS interface may be damaged by incorrect connection.
