Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective ground terminal. If a ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in grounded racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting the ground.
Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted head. These panels may cover hazardous circuits or parts, such as power supplies. These thumbscrews should therefore always be tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial installation and subsequent access to the panels.
Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation complies with the local codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in the building installation.
If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard one, a notice will be given in the manual.
Ports Safety Status
V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT, Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog voice E&M
SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or 60 VDC.
xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1
TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV, on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network Voltage-2:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible. These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external telephone and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage), U-Interface ISDN
TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible.
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords.
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment and will provide better protection against excessive emission and better immunity against disturbances.
A good ground connection is essential. When installing the equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However, the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used, ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases, special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables used for one-time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss (LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables, discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventive wrist strap.

Optimux-45 vs. Optimux-45L
Optimux-45 and Optimux-45L are different in their mechanical or physical aspects. The main difference however is the number of application(s) each can support.
Optimux-45 supports all types of applications such as:
• Point-to-Point application
• Drop application
• Daisy Chain
• Ring application
Optimux-45L only supports Point-to-Point applications and uses tributary ports 64-pin Telco connectors.
Channel Module Options
• Optimux-45 is available with balanced RJ-45 or unbalanced mini-BNC channels.
• Optimux-45L is available with balanced or unbalanced unshielded 64 pin Telco channels.
Both models can be ordered with a station clock module, which uses a shielded RJ-45 connector located on the rear panel.
Optimux-45L: Cabling accessories needed for the channel connector include a dual Telco-Telco cable, a Telco-Telco cable, a Telco-open cable, a BNC patch panel (supports 21 unbalanced E1 ports), and an RJ-45 patch panel (supports 21 E1 or 28 T1 balanced ports).
Optimux-45L: Cabling accessories are not supplied with the unit – they must be ordered separately.
Station Clock Mode
The Station Clock option is an option that can be ordered with the product.
Basically, the Station Clock option enables the user to utilize it as an external clock for synchronization.

Operation over SDH Network
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L’s coaxial link enables direct connections to SDH networks as illustrated in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3. Optimux-45, Optimux-45L over SDH
Daisy Chain Application
The Daisy Chain application is supported only in Optimux-45.
Figure 1-4 illustrates how to connect a typical Daisy Chain application. All of the main link modules in a given chain should be of the same type, either coaxial or fiber. (In a wireless Daisy Chain application, the main link can only be coaxial). The same chain can support a mix of balanced and unbalanced Optimux-45 units.
Figure 1-4. Daisy Chain Application (Optimux-45 only)
All the products in the Daisy Chain application should be of the same type.
Figure 1-5. Wireless Daisy Chain Application (Optimux-45 only)
The wireless Daisy Chain application requires an Optimux-45 product. All the products in the chain have to be of the same type.
Note
Note
Note
Ring Application
• The Ring application is supported only in Optimux-45.
• Ring applications can be managed only by using the RADview/TDM Network Management System. RADview/TDM is available for PC as well as for Unix workstations. Contact your local RAD vendor to acquire the RADview/TDM management software package.
• In Ring applications, management of the Optimux-45 must be via the Ethernet (Management port), not from a terminal (Control port).
Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7 illustrate how a typical Ring application and wireless Ring applications are connected. In a Ring application, all of the Main Link modules in a given ring should be of the same type, either coaxial or fiber. In a wireless Ring application, the main link can only be coaxial. Different products are required for each Ring application. All these products should be of the same type for each Ring. Both Ring applications can support a mix of balanced and unbalanced Optimux-45 products. The advantage of a Ring configuration over a Daisy Chain configuration is the inherent redundancy available in a Ring topology. The ability to utilize a backup link enables communications traffic to continue in the event of a failure in one of the main links.
The number of Optimux-45 nodes supported in a Ring application depends on whether the uplink is fiber or coax and on whether E1 or T1 tributaries are being used. A wireless Ring application can support up to eight nodes. For large applications, contact your local RAD vendor to inquire if your intended configuration will enable a Ring topology.

Drop Application
Not supported in Optimux-45L and with products that support Wireless Ring and Daisy Chain applications
Figure 1-6 illustrates how to connect a typical Drop application. Up to eight Optimux-45 units can be connected between two T3 links. Any of the tributary E1/T1 channels from the T3 link incoming into main link B can be dropped. Data incoming into main link A cannot be dropped. Both main link modules must be of the same type (either both coax or both fiber).

Features
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L provides a simple, flexible and cost-effective solution for transporting multiple T1 and E1 signals at distances up to 110 km (68 miles).
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L integrates up to 28 T1, 21 E1, or a combination of T1 and E1 channels over a single DS3 data stream. This provides an easily upgradeable solution, flexible enough to meet the requirements of a broad range of applications.
It supports multimode fiber, single mode fiber, single fiber (WDM), and coax cables.
Two Optimux-45, Optimux-45L units can be connected over a single fiber (SF) in either of two ways:
• Using WDM technology in which the transmit signal is at different wavelength than the receive signal
• Using a single wavelength for both the transmit signal and the receive signal
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L transmits each of the T1 channels independently, so that the clock of each T1 channel is independent.
Note
Optimux-45 supports daisy chain, ring, wireless ring, and drop-and-insert topologies. The same chain/ring can support a mix of balanced and unbalanced units.
An optional second link provides backup, using automatic switchover upon link failure. An optional second power supply provides power redundancy and fail- safe operation.

Fiber Optic Interface Cards
Fiber optic interface cards are modular cards that convert incoming optical signals to electrical signals, and outgoing electrical signals to optical signals. Conversion is achieved by utilizing an infrared LED or laser transmitter. Fiber optic interface cards support ST, SC, FC, and SC/APC connectors, single mode and multimode fibers, and wavelengths of 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm. Table 1-1 details available fiber optic types and their specifications.

Electrical Interface Card
The electrical interface card includes a line interface transceiver and a B3ZS encoder/decoder. The receiver recovers clock and data from the incoming signal, and also provides signal detect output. The receive and transmit data cables are connected to the card through a 75Ω coaxial BNC connector (unbalanced).
Link Redundancy
Up to two DS3 links can be ordered with Optimux-45, Optimux-45L. Each of these links (A and B) can be configured to act as the main link while the other serves as a redundant link.
When a second, backup optical link card is installed, Optimux-45, Optimux-45L redundancy mechanisms can be implemented in one of the following user- selectable modes:
• Automatic Redundancy Mode: switches between the main and the backup link upon signal loss detection. Automatic redundancy will switch back to the main link when it recovers.
• Manual Redundancy Mode: switches transmission to the backup link upon main link signal loss, but does not reinstate the main link once it has recovered. To switch back to the main link (after the main link has recovered), switch to Automatic mode.
• Main A or B: determines which link is the main link (either Link B or Link A can be set to function as the main link).
• Off & Main A: Redundancy mode is set to Off & Main A, main link A remains the active link without being able to switch to link B.
• Off & Main B: Redundancy mode is set to Off & Main B, main link B remains the active link without being able to switch to link A.
In Optimux-45, redundancy mechanisms can be implemented as follows:
• Both links (A and B) must be installed to support Ring applications.
• In Daisy Chain connections, the units located at the closing ends of the chain may be equipped with only a single main link (A or B), while the remaining units in the chain must have both links installed.
• In a Ring application, all main link modules should be of the same type, either coax or fiber.
• In a wireless Daisy Chain and Ring applications, all the main link modules should be coaxial.
• In all the Daisy Chain and Ring applications, the main link redundancy mechanism is disabled and is set to OFF. Link B is set as the main link. For further information on how to set up Daisy Chain and Ring applications, refer to the Interfaces and Connections section.
1-16 Functional Description Optimux-45, Optimux-45L Ver. 4.0
Power Supply
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L can be ordered with a 100 VAC to 240 VAC, or with -48 VDC, or 24 DC power supply.
Requirements
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L uses three different voltages: -5V, 3.3V and +5V.
These voltages are produced from the main power supply and can be either AC (derived from a 100 to 240 VAC power supply) or DC (derived from either a 24 VDC or from a -48 VDC power supply).
A redundant power supply is also available. This provides automatic switching to the backup power supply during a main power supply failure.
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L can support one or two AC, one or two DC, or one AC and one DC power supplies with separate input connectors for each of the power supply’s modules.
Management
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L management software can be accessed in a number of ways: RADview (RAD’s Network Management System), Telnet, Web browser such as ConfiguRAD, or ASCII terminal. The software is menu-driven, with numbered options selected by the operator.
Terminal management menus and procedures are described in Chapter 4.
Physical connections for control can be made through the RS-232 port using a DB-9 connector for terminal connection or through the Ethernet port using an RJ-45 interface for Ethernet connection.
Monitoring Mode
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L’s monitoring mode is used for diagnostic purposes. The monitoring mode enables the user to monitor the received data of the selected channel. The data can be monitored on pins 7 and 8 of the CLOCK (Optimux-45) or MON/CLK (Optimux-45L) connector. Monitoring does not influence regular data flow toward the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L multiplexer. In daisy chain, ring and drop applications, (Optimux-45 only) unconnected ports can also be monitored.
The monitoring port supports HDB3 or B8ZS but not AMI. For example, if the selected channel is set to AMI, the monitoring port output will be HDB3 or B8ZS (depending on the channel type, either E1 or T1). In a wireless Daisy Chain and Ring application, the Monitoring mode is not supported.
Figure 1-11 illustrates Optimux-45, Optimux-45L’s monitoring feature.
Figure 1-11. Optimux-45, Optimux-45L Monitoring Mode
Timing
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L supports three types of timing toward the DS3 main link:
• Internal: An onboard free-running oscillator (44.736 MHz ±20 ppm) is the timing source for the transmit data toward the DS3 main links.

Diagnostics
Two kinds of diagnostic tests can be carried out: Local Loop Back (LLB) and Remote Loop Back (RLB). These loops can be carried out on the E1/T1 layer as well as on the DS3 layer. Local Loop Back (LLB) on the DS3 layer is not supported in daisy chain and ring applications. For more information on diagnostics see Chapter 6.
Alarms
• Major Alarm
• Minor Alarm.
There are two relays:
• One for Major Alarms
• One for Minor Alarms.
All the fault reasons that can cause Major Alarm share the same Major Alarm relay, and all the fault reasons that can cause Minor Alarm, share the same Minor Alarm relay.
The user can configure each alarm to be considered Major, Minor or Off. Optimux-45, Optimux-45L also support Alarm input on the customer’s premises.
For more information on Alarms refer to Chapter 6.
Far-End Alarm and Control
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L supports transmission and receiving of FEAC codes as defined in the ANSI T1.404 standard. The FEAC codes are supported only in C-bit parity mode of operation. The FEAC codes are divided into two groups.
• Alarm/Status FEAC codes, which are transmitted by the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L towards a far-end unit in order to inform it about the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L status.
• Loopback control FEAC codes, which are received from a far end unit and are used to perform loops on the E1/T1 channels and on the DS3 link of the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L.
The Optimux-45, Optimux-45L supports the Alarm/Status FEAC codes listed in Table 1-2. The table is arranged in the priority of high to low.
