1.2 Getting Technical Assistance

Technical support is available to all Glenayre customers. Telephone support is
available every weekday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM ET (USA).
Other hours must be arranged in advance. Emergency service for down systems
only is available 24 hours a day. To get the quickest response, please follow these
guidelines:
Have available all of the information about the system or product you are
experiencing problems with or have questions about. You will be asked to
provide your name, phone number, address, and company name.
If possible, try the operation several times to determine that the system
response is identical under identical circumstances. If the problem is not
repeatable, or if the responses are different for each attempt, make a note of
the input process, output results, and differences. If the problem is
completely random, try to repeat the situation until a pattern of cause and
effect can be distinguished. In any case, document all parts of the problem
thoroughly and have your notes in front of you when you call.
If you are calling with a system problem, be at the terminal ready to execute
any instructions given by the technical representative. Have all manuals
and documentation immediately available.

General Information
1.4 General Precautions

Glenayre manufactures and tests all its products in a static-controlled
environment. Improper handling may result in a decrease of component
performance or failure. Please observe the following guidelines when handling
any removable assembly.
1. Make sure you are grounded and working in a static-controlled
environment.
2. Handle assemblies only by the edges; avoid contact with the connectors.
3. NEVER INSTALL AN ASSEMBLY INTO A POWERED-ON SYSTEM,
unless it is clearly indicated that it is safe to do so. As a general rule, you
can install assemblies that have a power switch with the switch in the OFF
position. Only after you seat and secure them should you power on the
assembly.
4. Never force a connection. Assemblies which are difficult to seat are not
normal. Check the following:
Make sure that nothing is obstructing the connectors, cables, etc.
Verify that the card is in the proper slot and seated in the guides
properly.
5. Verify the strappings before installation. Use the information from the
following sections to be sure that you properly configure the assemblies
before installation.
Cabinet doors should remain closed and locked during normal operation for
proper cooling and safety reasons.

1.5 Compliance Statements, Notices, Warnings, Etc.
Note This configuration only supports digital trunking. Therefore some of

the information contained in the following sections may not apply to
your machine.
1.5.1 United States
1.5.1.1 Equipment Attachment Limitations
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) Rules. The label affixed to this equipment contains, among
other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment. The telephone company must be given
notification prior to connection of this terminal system. The table below provides
the FCC interconnect codes for the T1 interface, including the jacks which must
be ordered to secure the correct services and facilities, the REN, Service Order
Code (SOC), and Facilities Interface Codes (FIC) necessary to assure network
protection and tariff compliance.:
Table 1-1 FCC Interconnect Codes
Interface FIC SOC REN Jack

T-1 04DV9-B 6.0P NA RJ2HX
The REN code is used to determine the maximum quantity of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most areas, the sum of the REN numbers of all
devices connected to one line should not exceed five. To verify the number of
devices you may connect to your line, contact your local telephone company for
information on the maximum REN for your calling area.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If you have trouble with your equipment, please contact Glenayre Electronics for
information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask
that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

Data is exchanged between the MVP and other serial devices using pins 2 and 3
of the serial port. For ports 0 and 1, the functions of pins 4, 5, 8 and 20 are
software defined. On all other ports, the pins are also software controlled but can
be tailored to provide hardware handshaking. In this mode, the MVP port will
not transmit data unless CTS is active or receive data unless DCD is active.
Note Since the MVP does not support handshaking on ports 0 and 1, use
these ports for CRT connections only.
Note For use in the United Kingdom, all peripherals connected to MVP
ports must meet BS6301 standards.

20 DTR 108/2 input Data Terminal Ready
Access to the CAM can be gained via either the passthr command or the modem
port. The normal configuration has CAM port 0 connected to an MVP port via a
straight-through cable.
Passthr is used to establish a communications link from the port it is executed

on, through the MVP to another device. Command syntax is passthr (serial
port), where serial port is a tty port which has no task created and is physically
connected to the device being accessed. There is a passthr task for the setty
command that allows you to set aside a port for passthr.
Note Use the setty -q command to check port assignments. Additional

information on both passthr and setty can be found in the Software
Reference Manual, Appendix B.
For information on configuring the modem port, refer to port shell command
described in Section 6.4.1 of this manual.

The transmit tip and ring must be one twisted pair, and the receive tip and
ring another twisted pair.
The T1 interface card provides adjustment for the length of cable from the MVP
to the network interface. The default setting is for 0-150 feet of cable. The other
two options are 150-450 feet and 450-655 feet. The adjustment is made with a DIP
switch on the T1 interface card. For a description of the switch settings, see
Section 4.3.3.1 in this manual.
The MVP T1 interface cards do not provide the protective function required for
direct connection to the telco network in the US. When installed outside a central
office, a Channel Service Unit (CSU) must be used between the MVP and the
telco network. The CSU should be a pass-through type, allowing the MVP to
perform all framing, error detection, and zero suppression functions.
Note For future telco compatibility, the CSU should have its own power
source, independent of the line power on the T1 span.
32 REV 1.0 July 31, 1998

3.3.2 E1 Connection
E1 lines interface to the MVP using BNC connectors for 75 ohm connections or
DB-15 for 120 ohm connections. DB15 is the same as for T1 connections. Two
BNC jacks (one input and one output) are installed on the E1 translator card for
each E1 span. Connection to the E1 links should use coaxial cable with a
characteristic impedance of 75 ohms.
Note Cable from customer equipment to the MVP must be provided by the
customer; no cables are provided in the E1 option kit.
The E1 interface cards adjustments for line lengths may be used to compensate
for long cable lengths. The default setting is for 0-150 feet of cable. The other two
options are 150-450 feet and 450-655 feet. The adjustment is made with a DIP
switch on the E1 interface card. For a description of the switch settings, see
Section 4.3.3.1 in the manual.
Normal E1 connections will have the shield of the coaxial cable grounded at the
transmit end and floating at the receive end. Grounds for these cables are
implemented on the E1 translator card. Traces on the translator at E4 and E2 may
be cut to remove the ground from the transmit cable. Shunts may be installed at
E1 and E3 to ground the shield of the receiving cable. Normal installations
should have these shunts removed.

4.3 Shelf A -Trunk Level

The uppermost cage in the cabinet is Shelf A. This shelf is referred to as a trunk
shelf because it provides interconnect capability for up to 72 trunks. If additional
trunk capacity is needed, Shelves B, C, and D can also be used. Shelves A and C
provide up to 72 T1 (or 60 E1) digital-only ports. Shelves B and D provide up to
48 T1 (or 60 E1) digital-only ports.
Termination for the ST bus is provided by an LDI Translator card located behind
Slot 16. Interface between the TSC translator and the system controller is
provided by a translator card behind Slot 2.
All cards are associated with TSC 1 in Shelf A except for Slot 17. It is supported
by TSC 2.
Slots 18 and 19 of Shelf A carry the Clock/Alarm Modules (CAM). Translator

Cards on the back of these slots connect the two cards together to support the

Alarm Relay
Contacts Three sets of SPDT relay contacts connect to the back of the MVP. The relays are
rated at 48V DC at 1 amp or 120V AC at 0.5 amp. Each relay provides a normally
open and normally closed contact closure. Two relays control external visual
alarm conditions. One of these is shared between critical (CRI) and major (MAJ)
alarm levels, and the other is dedicated to minimum (MIN) alarm levels. The
third relay controls an external aural indicator. Its normally open contact closure
plays the following cadences to identify the three alarm levels.
CRI close 0.5 sec MAJ close 1.5 sec MIN close
open 0.5 sec open 1.5 sec continuous

Note When connecting an external alarm such as a buzzer or bell, be sure to

either use a low inductive device or install a shunting diode across the
load.

4.8 Shelf F - System & Voice Drive Level

The bottom shelf of the MVP 4240 holds the system and voice drives. Up to
sixteen 3-1/2 drives can be housed on this shelf. The shelf is divided in half
horizontally with the first drive position of both the upper and lower portion
dedicated to the system SCSI bus. The other fourteen drive slots are divided into
two voice SCSI busses, VB1 and VB2. Voice drives 1-7 reside in the upper portion
(VB1) and drives 8-14 reside in the lower portion (VB2).
Two full size slots at the far right of Shelf F contain the power supply modules
for the shelf. The primary supply occupies Slot 21, with the redundant supply
residing in Slot 23. The two power modules are separated from the rest of the
shelf by a split plate to minimize radiated noise and to improve airflow around
the power supplies.
The disk shelf communicates with external SCSI ports via 50-conductor ribbon
cables. The interconnection is through a backplane allowing power distribution
and signal bussing through a single connector.

ROUTINE PROCEDURES
5.1 System Start-up Procedures

The MVP system offers both automatic and manual boot (start-up) procedures.
During Autoboot, the system determines which boot file to execute. No operator
assistance is required. If the Autoboot process is unsuccessful, then a manual
boot will be necessary.
Manual boot is initiated by the operator. This procedure requires knowledge

about the boot file on each SCSI device. The boot will not be successful unless it
is executed on the appropriate SCSI device.
5.1.1 Autoboot
The automatic boot procedure always attempts to start from the primary system
disk (disk 0). If the Autoboot from the primary system disk is unsuccessful, the
system will attempt to Autoboot from the redundant system disk (disk 1).
Note The faulty system disks should be repaired or replaced as soon as

possible. Contact Glenayre Electronics Customer Service for
assistance in this case.
Autoboot can occur in either of two ways:

1. The watchdog timer on the Clock/Alarm Module expires.
This indicates a serious system failure. A reboot of the system is therefore
necessary to re-initialize elements that may have been corrupted.
2. The system CPU card reset switch is depressed.
A reset of the system controller is usually performed after the system has
been upgraded or repaired.
Once an autoboot has successfully executed, the operator login will appear on
the console terminal. At this point the MVP system is operational.
PN 9110.00917 113
Routine Procedures
5.1.2 Manual Boot

Manual boot will be required if the Autoboot attempts fail. Follow the steps
outlined below to perform a manual boot of the system.
Table 5-1 Manual Boot Procedure
Step Action
1 Press the abort switch on the MVME147 CPU twice.
The console will display as a prompt:
147diag>
2 At the prompt, enter: g ffa00020
The system will respond:
Effective address: FFA00020 Glenayre version\1.0.0
bootstrap Wed Oct 30 15:43:54 EST 1991\enter
<bus>,
<scsi lun>
3 Enter the appropriate device to boot from:
0,0 = system disk 0
0,1 = system disk 1
0,2 = tape streamer
1,0 = voice disk 0
1,1 = voice disk 1
The system will look for the bootfile on the disk or in the case of
tape will search for the file with the suffix 147. For example, if 0,2
were entered in the above step, and syscop-147 were the first file on
the tape, then the system would display the following message:
searching for file with suffix 147
syscop-147

5.2 Periodic System Maintenance
5.2.1 Checking Voltages

All system voltages should be checked at least once a month. A logbook should
be kept detailing the date and time of the inspection, the name of the individual
making the check, and the voltage readings. Make a note in the logbook each
time any voltage is adjusted.
The voltages can be measured using the CAM Module. A small voltage drop
exists between the voltage measured at the power supply and the voltage
actually present at the circuit cards. DO NOT adjust the voltage measured at the
power supply to the specified backplane voltage. Voltage measurements must
be made at the backplane when adjusting power supplies. For power supply
adjustments procedures, see Chapter 6.
Table 5-2 Voltage Checking Procedure
Step Action
1 Visually inspect the front panel of all power supplies. Make sure the
installed power supply LEDs are illuminated and the FUSE LED is off.
2 Begin with Shelf A primary supply (the supply in the left power supply
slot). Insert the black lead of the voltmeter in the VREF test point. Insert
the red lead into TP1, TP4, TP5, and TP6 in turn. Record the voltage for
each test point.
3 Repeat Step 2 for Shelf A redundant supply in right power supply slot.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for Shelves B, C, and D.
5 Measure the voltages on the Shelf E primary supply. Insert the black
lead of the voltmeter in the VREF test point. Insert the red lead into the
two +5, +12, and -12V test points. Record the voltage for each test point.
6 Repeat Step 5 for Shelf E redundant supply (in the right power supply
slot).
7 Measure the voltages on the Shelf F primary supply. Insert the black
lead of the voltmeter in the VREF test point. Insert the red lead into the
V1 or V2 test points. Record the voltage for each test point. V1 = TP1,
V2 = TP2.
8 Examine the log book entries for each V1 voltage for Shelves A, B, C, D,
and E, and the +5 voltage on Shelf E. The power supplies must be
adjusted if there is more than a 0.1V difference from the previous
measurements or the last time it was set.
9 Examine the log book entries for Shelves A, B, C, and D V4 voltages,
the Shelf E +12 and -12 voltages, and the Shelf F V2 voltage. The power
supplies must be adjusted if there is more than a 0.2V difference from
the previous measurement or from the last time it was set.
PN 9110.00917 115
Routine Procedures
5.2.2 Cleaning Fan Filters

The MVPs air filter should be checked and cleaned every six months. If
excessive dirt and dust buildup is found, decrease this interval. The procedure
below can be performed while the MVP is on-line; however, the fan tray should
not be removed for more than five minutes.
Table 5-3 Fan Filter Cleaning Procedure
Step Action
1 Open the internal I/O panel door of the MVP and unplug the fan tray
power connectors from the fan trays.
Go to the front of the machine and unscrew the two mounting screws
on the fan trays until they are completely detached from the mounting
brackets.
Slide the fan trays out of the front of the machine.
From the back of the machine, remove the screws holding the air filter
retaining brackets.
From the front of the machine, reach in and pull out the air filters.
2 Clean the air filters by blowing them out with dry compressed air. A
vacuum can be used, but it is not as effective.
If the cleaning will take longer than five minutes, re-insert the fan trays
and turn them on while the filters are being cleaned.
3 Re-install the filters and fan trays by reversing Step 1.
4 Close internal I/O panel door.
Note Doors must be kept closed during normal operation, both for proper
cooling and to meet safety requirements.
5.2.3 Maintaining the Tape Streamer

Clean the read/write head on the Tape Streamer drive, located in Shelf D, on a
regular basis. This should be done immediately after using a new cartridge and
whenever large numbers of rewrite or reread operations are performed.
Clean the tape head through the cartridge slot using a commercial tape drive
cleaning kit.
Caution DO NOT USE ANY HARD OR SHARP OBJECTS THAT

MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE HEAD!
116 REV 1.0 July 31, 1998

SPECIAL PROCEDURES
6.1 Power Supply Adjustments

Six adjustable power converter modules supply power to the circuit cards used
in the MVP. Shelves A, B, C, and D use Trunk Power Supply Modules, Shelf E
uses the VME Power Supply Module, while Shelf F uses a Disk Power Supply
Module. Descriptions of these modules and their functions are found hereafter.
Check the power supply voltages at least once a month. Keep a logbook detailing
the date and time of the inspection, the name of the individual making the check,
and the voltage measurement. Note any time a voltage is adjusted.
The Trunk Power Supply Modules have four separate adjustable power outputs:
V1 is +5V adjustable V4 is +12V adjustable

V5 is +12V adjustable V6 is -12V adjustable
The VME Power Supply Module has three separate adjustable power outputs:
(+5V has two test points adjustable with one potentiometer)
+5V adjustable +12V adjustable -12V adjustable
The Disk Power Supply Module produces two adjustable voltages:
V1 is +5V V2 is +12V
PN 9110.00917 117

Shelf E +5V supplies logic circuit power.
(VME Power Supply) +12 and -12V power RS232 serial port drivers.
Shelf F V1 and V2 power the voice storage drives.
(Disk Power Supply)
Each shelf can hold two power supplies. One is the primary power supply; the
other is a redundant power supply. The redundant power supply is an option
and may not be installed in all machines.
The output of the two supplies on Shelves A, B, C, D, and F are merged by an

OR-ing diode backplane on the rear of the card cage. The OR-ing diodes for Shelf
E are on the VME power supply module. Since the outputs of the supplies flow
through a diode before reaching the circuit cards, the voltage reading on the
power supply front panel test points will be slightly higher than the voltage
desired at the backplane. The voltage drop at the diodes will vary depending on
the number of cards in the cage and the characteristics of each diode.
WARNING! You must measure voltages ON THE BACKPLANE when

adjusting power supplies. Please do not use experience as
a guide to adjust power supplies while monitoring the
voltage on the power supply card. SEVERE DAMAGE TO
THE SYSTEM CAN RESULT!!!!
118 REV 1.0 July 31, 1998

Procedures The following procedure should be used to adjust the system voltages. Use this
procedure whenever you are unsure if a power supply is adjusted.
WARNING! Plugging an unadjusted supply into an MVP containing

circuit cards may cause severe damage. Do not assume
power supplies shipped to you from the factory are
adjusted for your system.
If you do not have redundant supplies, simply omit any references to them in the
procedure below. The supply you are adjusting is referred to as the MUA
(Module Undergoing Adjustment).
Begin at Step 1 of the procedure outlined on the next page if you are adjusting
an unknown supply. Skip to Step 7 if you are adjusting a supply already in use.
Table 6-2 Power Supply Adjustment Procedure
Step Action
1 Remove all circuit cards from the shelf served by the power supply
and turn off the other supply (if installed). Make sure the power switch
on the MUA is in the OFF position.
2 Install the MUA in the appropriate slot and turn it on. Check that all
the voltage indicators are lit and the FUSE LED is off.
3 Attach a voltmeter to the +5V and GND terminals on the backplane
served by the MUA. Use the line card extender on Shelf A (see the
information following these procedures) or use the silkscreened power
lugs on the back of the backplane.
Shelf E has voltages silkscreened above the lugs on the rear of the
backplane. On Shelf F you must probe the power lugs from the back of
the MVP.
4 On Shelves A, B, C, D, or F, adjust the pot controlling V1 (just under
the V1 indicator lamp) on the MUA. Clockwise lowers the voltage;
counterclockwise increases it. Set the voltage to +5.1 (+/- .02).
On Shelf E, adjust the pot under the +5V indicator. Clockwise increases
the voltage.
5 Set the adjustable +12V supplies to +12.1 (+/-.1):
V4 & V5 on the Trunk Power Supply Modules
+12V and -12V on VME Power Supply Module
V2 on the Disk Power Supply Module
Set the adjustable -12V supply (V6 on the Trunk Power Supply
Modules) to -12.1 (+/- .1).
PN 9110.00917 119
Special Procedures
Step Action (Continued)

USE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
For Shelf A, B, C, D, and E, measure the voltage on the line marked
+12V RELAY.
For Shelf F, insert test probe into a drive power connect.
Use the pot under indicators V4, V5 and V6 on the Trunk Power
Supply Modules.
Use the pot over indicators +12V and -12V on the VME Power Supply
Module.
Use the pot under the V2 indicator for the Disk Power Supply
Modules.
6 Turn off the MUA power switch and install the cards for the shelf
served by the MUA. Install the redundant supply (or primary if the
MUA is the redundant supply) but leave its power switch off.
Turn on the MUA, then turn on the power switches on all disk and
tape drives in the system.
7 Using the procedure outlined in Step 3, adjust the +5V voltage to 5.05
(+.5/-0) volts. Note that for Shelf F, the +5V test point on the front of
the drive assembly may be used to measure the voltage.
Measure other voltages as described in Steps 3 and 4. After setting the
voltage, measure the voltage on the power supply card. Measure
between the VREF test point and the TP1 test point, or the +5V test
point on the VME Power Supply Module.
Record this voltage under the appropriate heading in the voltage
logbook. Be sure to note that the reading was made after adjustment.
8 Using the procedure given in Step 4, adjust the +12V supply to +12.1
(+0.5/-0) volts. Note that for Shelf F, the +12V test point on the front of

Special Procedures
6.4.2 Setup Procedure

The following procedure is provided in the event that the Clock/Alarm card
should need to be replaced. Since the CAM is powered directly from input
power (48V), no power down of the system is necessary before beginning the
installation procedure.
System clock glitches can terminate or disrupt calls in progress. Thus, it is

recommended that system clock card replacement be performed when there is
little or no traffic on the MVP. If the boards are to be swapped with traffic on the
MVP, the following method should be used:
In order to minimize system clock problems, use the alarmbrd loadable

command options viewport and togcamsel to select either CAM0 or CAM1 as
the clock provider. (Note that CAM0 and CAM1 refer to the primary and
secondary boards, not the boards revision number). For example, before
removing CAM0, set camsel in order to request CAM1. After observing that the
CAM1 CLK LED is on and the CAM0 CLK is off, remove CAM0. Likewise, when
installing CAM0, make sure that the camsel line is set before plugging in CAM0.
After CAM0 is powered up, revert to CAM0 by changing camsel = 0. This is also
true for CAM1 installation and removal.
6.4.3 BABT Installation

Since a special version of theClock/Alarm Module is required for BABT versions
of the MVP 4240, refer to Glenayre Customer Service for information on
installing the CAM Card..
6.4.4 Standard Installation

Refer to Section 4.3.2.2 and Section 4.3.3.5 for details on the jumper settings.
Set switch on front panel to WDD (watchdog) and plug board into system while
using a properly grounded ESD wrist. Hook up to the serial CAM Port 0.
Configure the primary CAM card (CAM 0) using shell commands as described
in Steps 1-12 of Table 6-5. The secondary CAM card (CAM 1) is configured by
CAM 0 using Steps 11 and 12.
128 REV 1.0 July 31, 1998

WARNING! Before starting the Installation procedure, be aware that

the MVP 4240 System will reboot automatically when the
new CAM Card is pushed back into place. Backup any
information you may need later on.
Table 6-5 CAM Card Installation Procedure.
Step Action
1 Set up the clocklist using the clocklist shell command.
2 Set up the number of vmb using numvmb command (the number of
vmb should match the number of shelves containing power supplies in
the machine.)
3 Check shelf voltages with monitor command to insure that they have
good values. See Section 6.1 to recalibrate power supplies if necessary.
4 Calibrate voltage thresholds with the calibrate command.
5 Use enable and disable commands to insure that alarm codes are
enabled for installed power supplies and disabled for uninstalled
power supplies. The severity command can be used to list a
description of the different alarm codes.
6 Unforce any forced alarm conditions using the forcealarm command.
7 Clear all active alarms using the clear command.
8 Use the alarms command to examine any remaining alarm conditions
and take necessary corrective actions (for example, examining
threshold command, insuring redundancy is on via redundancy
command).
Bad Alarm count values can be corrected by resetting the board using
the diag rs command. Be aware that there is a 2-10 second delay from
the resolution of an alarm on CAM1 until the alarm is no longer
triggered. Also, CAM 1 queues up all of its alarms while CAM 0 is not
installed. So, a number of old CAM 1 alarms may be received after
CAM 0 is installed.
9 Set correct date and time using the time command. Note only the time
or the date can be changed at a time.
10 Use clockforce command to insure that the clock selection method is in
normal mode.
11 Use redundancy command to correctly configure CAM 0 and CAM 1.
12 The boardstatus command should be executed after CAM 1 is installed
to insure that the CAM 1 information (CAM 1 Stream, !ckenb, and
Status) is being received. Also, verify that CAM 1 status is good.
PN 9110.00917 129
Special Procedures
Optional
The port and modemtalk commands can be used to install and configure a
modem on the CAM modem port.
Recommended
A PASSTHRU cable should be installed between a CAM shell interface serial

port and an MVP port to allow the MVP user to connect to the CAM board.
Recommended
The secondary CAM clocklist can be set up as desired using the clocklist
command on the CAM 1 diagnostic port.
Required for Phase I Frame
Be sure to disable monitor points for the fan temp (alarm code 69H), Talk Battery
voltage (alarm code 7DH), AMP response Timeout (alarm code 09H), and Bad
Match (alarm code 46H) locations using the disable command. Also, ensure that
the E4 (Phase I) jumper is installed.
Note The CAM cannot be installed in a Rev. 2 frame.
The secondary CAM is not involved in alarm reporting.
Alarm code severity levels, clock list parameters, and voltage and
temperature thresholds are stored in nonvolatile RAM. This data will
not be lost even when the CAM is powered down.
