be performed only by trained and authorized people.
When installing, always tighten screws and knurling screws until the end of their thread
and until they are completely tightened.
The described equipment in this manual is sensible to the static electricity. Before
handling any described equipment in this manual, verify if using devices of protection
against static electricity, and if these are functioning correctly.
Some equipment in this manual has laser emitting optical modules. Avoid exposure to
eyes and skin.
2. Introduction
The 19“ wide / 4+21 units high chassis provides 14 front-access slots for:
The controller boards (CPUX) provide management access (Ethernet & RS232) as well as external alarm
inputs (3) and one output. In addition, an external synchronization input is available. Two different board
hardware versions with different cross-connect sizes allow optimizing this rugged network element
technically as well as cost-wise.
Whatever supply voltage in the range of 93-250 VAC / 36-72 VDC is applied, it can be handled by the same
type of power supply module and redundant load-sharing operation is fully supported.
The device complies with the typical Ethernet / LAN utility requirements in the field of access-services. An
Ethernet switch board offers L1 & L2 functionality whereas the IP / PPP board handles all TDM traffic
carrying PPP-encapsulated IP-traffic.

3. Technical Specifications
Before connecting any cable to the equipment, make sure that the system is properly
grounded.
Power is supplied to the equipment via a power cable terminated with three pins connector. This cable can
be connected to any type of AC outlet, within the specified voltage limits. If using DC power, the AC plug
must be cut from the power cord. Use the wire corresponding to the central pin as the protection ground and
the other two for DC power, regardless of polarity. The equipment chassis is connected to the protection
ground.
The equipment can be powered with voltage within the range specified in Table 1 below. The voltage
selection is automatically done by the equipment, for both the main supply and the optional back-up power
supply. Two supplies can be installed, for redundant operation. The power supply modules allow live
insertion, so you do not need to switch the power off, if you need to plug in or remove the power supply
module.

Power supply source must be installed close to the multiplexing equipment in order to
have an easy access and be able to switch off or on the equipment when is necessary.
In case of using DC voltage, personal must be careful so that the equipment protection
earth cable (green cable with yellow line related to the central socket pin) matches the
system protection earth cable. This cable must be connected first, prior to any other
connection. The conducting part of the equipment is connected to the protection earth
cable.
The equipment supports a 6.3A fuse, type T (delay), 250V. If necessary, replace it only
with the same one of the same type and characteristics.
The quantity and type of cards installed must be taken in consideration during power consumption
calculation. The values provided in the Table 3 above.
Example of consumption calculation: if total power is 60W while using DC-W and 93VA when using AC-VA,
it must be considered 93VA as total power.
Example of cooling calculation: if total power is 60W in DC-W and 53W in AC-W (for each energy supply
source), take the highest value into consideration.
3.5. Weight
The information about weight of the modules is provided in the Table 5.

The user must make sure there is no voltage difference between the Mux DB9 pin 5
(signal ground) and pin 5 of the DB9 (or DB25 pin 7) for the PC or terminal. If this
happens it will damage the Mux and the PC or terminal serial interfaces. To check that
there is no voltage difference, use an AC voltmeter to check the voltage between these
pins. If there is a voltage difference, check if the MUX and the PC are properly
grounded and connect the signal ground to the MUX protective ground. This should
solve the problem. If the above conditions are met, then the serial cable can be
connected without turning off the equipment.
ALARM Connector: it has the alarm input and output connections (see Table 8).
There are 6 LEDs in the CPUX front panel. Their function is described as follows (even if the CPUX is in
active or standby mode).
Power LED indicates that FOX505 is turned on.
If the CPUX is in standby mode, the ALARM LED indicates that the card cannot take control and have lost
its synchronism with the main CPUX. The main CPUX ALARM LED shows 3 different critical alarms
(Critical, High or Low). If the LED is on (red light) it means Critical alarm. If it blinks twice and fast, it means
High and if it blinks in intervals longer than 1 second it means Low alarm.
When the CPUX is active, the FAIL LED will turn on whenever there is a hardware fail happening.
Otherwise, it will be kept off.
The TEST LED indicates that there is a test going on. It will be kept on while any test is being executed in
any interface.
When the CPUX is active, the LED ETH_LINK turned on will indicate that the front panel Ethernet Link
(10/100Base-T) is active. Otherwise, the LED will turn off in normal conditions.
THE CPUX_ACTIVE LED indicates if the CPUX is on (LED on) or is in standby (LED off) mode.
4. General Operation
The main characteristic of the FOX505 is its capability of directly cross connecting data from a PDH
network, incoming from its tributaries, to data incoming from an SDH network (HS interfaces).
The CPUX cross-connection matrix links the PDH tributaries and the HS interfaces.
Table 11 shows the cards installed in the equipment and the rate of operation for each port.
E1_4(KLM211): data from slot B, port 1 (1024kbit/s), data from slot A (640kbit/s);
E1_5(KLM322)/E1_6(KLM371)/E1_7(KLM373): each one of the three remaining slot B ports
(1024kbit/s) and two slot D ports (2*256kbit/s).
From this evaluation it is possible to conclude that 7 matrix lines will be needed to place data incoming from
the PDH network.
In this example 20 matrix lines were needed. There would still be lines available for timeslot cross
connecting (64kbit/s) STM1 ring VCs or for future network expansion.
This method is based in the user-defined clock source priorities to choose which one the equipment will use.
The six hierarchies each have a priority, where the lowest numbered hierarchy is the highest priority, being
used whenever possible.
The operation of this method is simpler, but it does not guarantee that the best available reference is being
employed.
The clock switching by sync status message is based upon the existence of a quality indicator for each
clock hierarchy. This indicator can be automatically updated for STM-1 links or manually inserted for the
other cases.
The quality indicators are used to evaluate the quality of the clock received at each hierarchy and, based on
that quality, provide information so the equipment can choose the best clock available.
Within the STM-1 network, the clock quality indicators travel in the S1 byte of the multiplexing section and
are changed by the equipments as failures are detected in sync sources or switching in the network occur.
The user can then individually configure, for each clock hierarchy, the quality of the input to be considered,
and also the output quality to be sent to the STM-1 links (in the S1 byte) when each of these sources is
being used. The output quality, however, cannot be greater than the input quality.
When the input quality is configured for the automatic mode, the quality of the reference will be obtained
from the message received in S1. When the output quality is configured for the automatic mode, the
equipment will copy the input quality value to the clock output quality.
Using automatic input clock quality has application only for sync sources that have a valid quality indicator,
that is, only for the sync sources derived from the STM-1 lines.
5. CPUX Redundancy
To minimize equipment unavailable time caused by hardware failures and possible equipment firmware
problems, the FOX505 allows using two CPUX cards operating in redundant mode.
In this way, the strategic client services will be safe against problems in the CPUX card, so that a defective
card will cause only some seconds of down time, even if the defective card takes days to be replaced.
It is only possible redundancy between equal models of CPUX. Two CPUX128, for
example. In case that a CPUX64 is installed together with a CPUX128, it will not have
CPUX redundancy.
It is up to the user to configure if the equipment will operate with CPUX redundancy or not. If this option is
enabled, there must always be two CPUX cards inserted in the equipment. Otherwise, the redundancy
failure alarm will occur. While this alarm is active, the equipment will not accept firmware updates.
Once redundancy is enabled, there are two possible roles for each of the equipment CPUXs:
Active: all data pass through the active CPUX. This is the only CPUX directly accessible to
management, and only if it fails or if there is user intervention it will leave this state.
Standby: the role of the standby CPUX is to reestablish data flow after a failure or if the active CPUX
issues a request.
Choosing the role to assign to each CPUX occurs during system initialization. This is not configurable and it
does not depend on the slot in which the card is inserted.
Note that whenever the standby CPUX becomes active, data errors will appear in the interfaces in use, for
the switching matrix is stored in the CPUX. The unavailable time depends upon the reason for the card
switching and goes from 3 seconds to 4 minutes.
To ensure that the standby CPUX can be in charge of the equipment data, the active CPUX starts the
system sync process whenever it detects the standby CPUX. This sync process occurs whenever the
configuration or the equipment firmware is changed.
The sync process is the process by which the active CPUX tries to update the information of its database in
the standby CPUX. In the sync process, other than the equipment configuration data and some status
information, the standby CPUX firmware is also updated.
From the moment that the standby CPUX has its database in sync, it will be prepared to take control of the
equipment and will do so if necessary. If any sync problem arises, the standby CPUX sync failure alarm will
become active and user action will be requested to restart the process. If sync problems occur, it is usually
a hardware failure.
The user can switch from the active CPUX to the standby CPUX, in this way being able to servicing in an active
CPUX.
When this procedure is performed, there will be data loss, even if the standby CPUX is in sync. In this case
the errors will last few seconds only. If the standby CPUX is not ready, the user should not switch, for it
could lead to permanent failure in the client data links.
6. Electrical E1 Card - E1
The FOX505-E1 card has one E1 interface, with impedance selectable (75ohms or 120ohms in the same
model (BNC connector for 75ohms impedance and RJ48 Connector for 120ohms impedance).
Frame structure (transparent or structured) as defined by ITU-TS Recommendation G.704. The number of
timeslots available for the user, in the framed mode, is at most 31, for timeslot 0 is used for frame sync. For
telephony applications using Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), there are only 30 timeslots available, for
timeslot 16 transports CAS signaling.
Speed of 2048kbit/s, using HDB3 coding, as defined by Recommendation G.703.
It allows management of remote equipments.
a. Off: means that the equipment will not switch to the backup interface when there is a failure in the
main link. This option is generally used to force the main link operation, even if it is not operating
adequately.
b. Automatic: switches data to the backup link. Data flows back through the main link only after this link
remains stable and operating for around two minutes, or if the backup link goes down when the main
link is on.
c. Semi-automatic: makes that after a failure data continue flowing through the backup link unless the
backup link fails.

When used with the CPUX64, eight out of the sixteen E1 interfaces will be available for
use.
Frame structure (transparent or structured) as defined by ITU-TS recommendation G.704. The number of
time slots available for the user, when on the framed mode, is maximum 31, because time slot 0 is used for
the frame synchronization. On telephony applications with CAS, only 30 time slots are available, as time slot
16 conveys the CAS signaling.
Speed at 2048kbit/s on each interface, using the HDB3 encoding, as defined by recommendation G.703.
Allow the remote equipment to be managed.
The E1-16 interface may use a backup link (as shown in item 6.2).
8.2. Strapping
The E1-16 card allows the mesh of the input and output signals of each port to be grounded independently,
as shown in Table 16.
This loop serves to test the external link and the two data directions.
The local analog loop serves to test the analog portion of the interface card circuits. Figure 21 exemplifies

generated outside the Mux.
This test allows the transmission quality to be quickly checked without using external test equipment. It is
generated towards the cross-connect table.
Transmitter: Laser Diode of 1310nm or 1550nm, with power options between 0 and -15dBm.
Receiver: Use a PIN photodiode. Minimum level of -34dBm for BER of 10-9 on single mode.
On very short links, where the power present on the receiver is higher than those specified above, it may be
necessary to use an attenuator to reduce it and avoid the saturation of the input amplifier.
The range may vary in view of the link quality. The equipment leaves the plant with at least the specified
power. It is common place that the power is several dB above the minimum power (e.g. -10 dBm on a short
range card).
The transmitter has a circuit which offsets variations of the laser characteristics in view of the temperature
and ageing.
The optical signal encoding is proprietary, ensuring that BER (Bit Error Rate) levels are kept regardless of
the data sent.
The laser transmission power can also be selected, characterizing the card as short or long range.
The optical cards are always supplied with SC-PC connectors, including in case of cards for use with
bidirectional fiber – single fiber.
The FO2 card optical interface may use a backup link (as shown is item 9.3).
* The estimated range already allows for a 3dB loss caused by connections, splices and other optical
phenomena.
9.4.1. Local Digital Loop Test on the E1 for Connection with the Matrix - LDL
This loop serves to test the external link and the two data directions.

This loop serves to test the external link and the two data directions.
Figure 27. LDL test diagram on the physical interfaces at the FO/FO2
The FO/FO2 cards implement the ALS protocol to prevent the laser from being ON when there is no fiber
connected. The user may change the ALS behavior through the following tests:
The optical interface module uses transmitters with non visible laser radiation. Never
look directly at the laser terminals or the optical fiber. Exposure to laser emission may
cause partial or total loss of vision.
The FO HW3 card makes it possible for the front BERT and back BERT tests. This test is not possible on
the FO/FO2 cards.

The G.shdsl (G.991.2) pattern specifies 2-wire symmetric connection for subscriber lines.
The equipment G.shdsl ports can transport from 1 to 32 timeslots with channel alignment.
10.1. Connection
The connection takes place through 3 basic stages:
The pre-activation stage follows ITU-T Recommendation G.994.1, which describes the handshake for xDSL
transceivers.
During this stage, the two equipments change data and negotiate the parameters that will be used for the
connection.
The ends implement a 12kHz DPSK modem for the NTU and a 20kHz one for the LTU to perform the
handshake. The standard predefined messages are exchanged and define the common operation mode.
In this phase the final transmission rate is determined, as the Annex to be used (A or B). The type of
information that will be transported (TPS-TC), the transmission frame (plesiochronous or synchronous) and
many other parameters are also set.
If the interfaces do not agree on a common configuration, the two equipments abort transmission and do not
go to the next stage, they try again after some time.
For the FOX505 DSL2 card, the implementation was performed so that the subscriber equipment (NTU) will
always accept the configuration sent to it by the office equipment (LTU), easing their installation process.
In the handshake, the interface LED remains off, blinking once a second.
In this phase the two modems test the transmission line using the rate that was agreed upon during the
handshake phase to determine what coefficients should be used for its receive and transmit digital filters.
During the training, the equipments use the normal line coding (TC-PAM) and do not use DPSK anymore.
First, both modems test the line. Then they exchange the pre coder coefficients that will be used during data
transmission.
Two things can occur at the end of this stage: the modems go through the training phase and determine the
adequate coefficients for the line, entering the data mode, or the modems could not determine the
coefficients for some reason (the line is too long, too much noise, during training there was a very strong
perturbation that precluded convergence, etc.) and so they abort transmission.
In the activation phase, the interface LED remains on for half a second and off for half a second.
This is the final stage, where the modem transmits the data normally. It will use the final G.shdsl frame
exchanging information as negotiated during the handshake and using the coefficients that were determined
after the transmission line evaluation, during the training period.
When the interface is in sync, the status LED will remain on.
This option sets if the interface will operate in synchronous, plesiochronous or automatic mode.
When in plesiochronous mode, the transmission and reception clocks are independent from the line clock,
which is generated by the LTU. The line clock precision is 32ppm, as set by G.991.2. Periodically 4 stuff
bits are automatically inserted to adequate the data clock to the line clock. This procedure is essential for
the equipments to remain in sync.
When configured in synchronous mode, the line clock is the same as the data clock. The precision of the
data clock is, then, the clock precision chosen as the equipment sync source. Recommendation G.991.2
specifies that the clock precision should be 32ppm, independently of the selected clock scheme, so it is up
to the user to configure a clock with such a precision to operate according to the standard (or to use a clock
of lesser precision operating outside the standard bounds). In this mode the stuff bits stb1 and stb2 are
always present, while stb3 and stb4 are not transmitted.
In the automatic selection mode, the LTU will use the mode selected by the NTU. If the NTU accepts any
mode (automatic configuring), the synchronous mode will be used.
10.2.3. Annex
The Annexes specify small deviations of the standard to best adequate the equipment to the used line.
Three annex options can be chosen: A, B or automatic selection.
Annex A determines the regional specifications regarding the lines operating under the conditions typically
found in U.S.A. networks.
Annex B determines the regional specifications regarding the lines operating under conditions typically
found in European networks.
In the automatic selection mode, the LTU will use the Annex selected by the NTU. If the NTU accepts any
Annex, Annex B will be used.
10.3. Performance
The interface performance is directly related to the transmission line characteristics.
The gauge and length of the wire, the noise and the susceptibility to micro-interruptions to which the line is
submitted determine which is the greatest available transmission rate.
The range also diminishes if the line presents a great number of splices and bifurcations. The length of the
bifurcations also alter the line characteristics, for they can increase signal reflections and cause noise.
In a 0,4mm noiseless line, the maximum distance can be 3600 meters when working with rates of
2048Kbit/s. With the modem configured with 192Kbit/s it is possible to reach 6.300 meters.
Table 19 displays expected ranges for some rates in noiseless artificial line, having the protective ground
connected to the equipment signal ground.
A way of increasing the interface range is by improving the equipment shield to lessen the noise to which
the receiver is submitted. For the DSL2 card, it is advisable to connect the equipment protective ground to
the signal ground, otherwise the interface range will be lower.
It is not convenient to use varistors as G.shdsl lines protection devices, for they
introduce a high capacitance that can significantly reduce the interface performance.
The same care should be taken with inductive type protections.
This loopback is used to test the external link and the two data paths. Figure 29 shows this test.
This test allows a quick check of the transmission quality, without using external test equipment. Figure 30
depicts this test.
There are three (3) voice card options: FXO (central), FXS (user) and E&M (Tie-line). E&M is equipped with
four (4) RJ-45 ports. FXO and FXS are available in different models: FXS4/FXO4 with four (4) RJ-11 ports
and with telco50 connectors; FXS10/FXO10 with ten ports (Telco50).
The interfaces have user-configurable nominal impedance, selectable as 600 or 900ohms.
The voice channel frequency is from 300Hz to 3400Hz, uncompressed.
They have “on-hook” transmission capability, allowing data to flow through the link even when the telephone
is on hook.
The channel signaling transfer is done through CAS (channel associated signaling) according to G.704. The
equipment can be directly connected to a PABX, or it can be directly multiplexed in an E1 link along with
other voice cards or E1 trunks.
The E&M interface accepts only dual-tone multi frequency tones (DTMF).
Signal is coded using A-Law, according to G.711. The cards are also compatible with the G.712, G.713,
G.714, G.715 recommendation.
There are three CAS configuration options:
Invert CAS bits A and B: in this case the information that usually goes through bit A is transmitted by bit B,
and vice-versa;
Invert bit A: in this case bit A is inverted;
Invert bit B: in this case bit B is inverted.
Card features: ring, decadic pulse dialing and one LED per interface (for off hook telephone identification).
Connector's pin out related to FXS card ports may be checked in Table 20, Table 21 and Table 22.
FXO cards can be configured to transmit the ring signal through CAS in a continuous mode. This will allow
the equipment to be compatible with other vendors' devices. Contains 4 (FXO/FXO4) or 10 (FXO10)
channels of voice per plate, operating a 2 wires.
This card supports public telephones, with billing selectable as polarity inversion, 12kHz or 16kHz tone.
It reaches 200 meters when operating with 0,4mm wires.
The FXO card was designed to be installed next to the central office, preferably in the same building. To
obtain information about applications with the FXO card installed farther from the office, please check with
ABB support.
Card features: ring, decadic pulse dialing and one LED per interface (for off hook telephone identification).
Connector's pin out related to FXS card ports may be checked in Table 27, Table 28 and Table 29.
11.2.1. FOX505-E&M
The FOX505-E&M card is a Tie Line Equipment that communicates to the E&M interface of an central office
or PABX through an interface of up to 8 wires. The PABX provides the M signal and receives the E signal.
Similarly, the E&M card generates the E signal, and receives the M signal.
It can be configured for E&M signaling types I, II, IV or V, for pulse or continuous modes. Each card
interface can transmit voice over 2 or 4 wires and it can be individually configured (through management
software).
The E&M interface accepts only dual-tone multi frequency tones (DTMF).
The FOX505-E&M card supports four signaling types: I, II, IV and V. The signaling type can be individually
chosen by port, using straps and management software.
Type I: For interface E&M type I, the E&M card generates the E signal for the PABX by grounding
the E pin, such that the PABX detects the E signal variation due to the current increase in this wire.
Similarly, the PABX generates the M signal applying a current through this wire. The E&M card detects
the M signal due to the increase in current in the M wire. This requires common ground, which is
provided by the SG wire.
Type II: In the type II interface each signal has its own return and, so, it does not require a common
ground. To generate the E signal, the E&M card closes the circuit, allowing the PABX current to pass
through, returning through the SG wire to the PABX ground. To generate the M signal, the PABX closes
the M wire circuit, allowing current to pass through this wire, which returns through SB to the E&M card
detection circuit.
Type IV: The interface type IV is symmetric and does not require common ground. The connection is
established in the same way as for signaling type II.
Type V: The interface type V is also symmetric, being a simplification of type IV. In this configuring
the signals do not have a return path, so the common ground potential is needed, being provided by the
SG wire.

To use signaling type V without using the SG wire as common ground, the E1 strap
should be placed in 0-2 position.
The E&M card supports continuous and pulse signaling modes. The signaling mode configuration can be
done individually per port by the management software.
Continuous mode: In the continuous signaling mode, the E and M signals are on while the PABX and the
E&M card have an established connection. The signals are turned off only to indicate that one of the sides
wants to end the connection, and the remote side confirms disconnection by turning its signal off.
Pulse mode: In the pulse signaling mode two types of signals are used: a short one (lasting 150 30ms)
and a long one (lasting 600 120ms). To complete the call, a short signal is sent, and to indicate
disconnection a long signal is sent. For the remaining time, even when the call is in progress, the signals
are turned off. Any signal out of this normal sequence is ignored by the FOX505-E&M card.
Allows the FOX505-E&M card to send data through its voice channel, using 2 or 4 wires. It can be
individually configured per port. With this option enabled, the E&M interface ignores the incoming CAS
signaling and keeps the established connection status (the E and M wires can be used or not). This option
allows the E&M card to be connected directly to a modem, for example.

When the FXS, FXO or E&M cards analogue lines pass through media that can suffer
influence of electrical or atmospheric discharges, it is recommended to add primary
protection devices to these lines, like gas sparklers and/or varistors.
In the case of interfaces FXS, FXO or E&M, varistors they are efficient and they can be
used without problems. Cares must be taken when using them in lines that pass
through signals with high frequencies (former: E1, ISDN, xDSL), had to the fact of its
capacitance to distort such signals.
The FXS interface cards had, in the first versions, sparklers as input lines primary protection. It is important
to stress that this protection device is not used anymore in the present versions of the FXS card. Therefore,
an external protection device must be used in these card lines.
11.4. Application
The Omnibus option allows conference call between cards. When any telephone is taken off the hook, the
system starts ringing. It will stop ringing when someone picks up. When operator A is talking, all others can
only listen to him. If operator B takes his telephone off the hook, he will be the only one able to talk, muting
operator A (that will only listen the conversation from now on).
In the FXS card, Omnibus is available in port 1 only. If activated, it will block the use of all other ports.
In FXS4/FXO4/FXS10/FXO10 cards, Omnibus is available in port 1 and 2, simultaneously or not. All other
ports will keep operating.
A new call can only be done after all telephones are replaced on hook.
In this case the FXO card is connected to the analogue lines of a Central Office, receiving ring and billing
signal and generating on-hook signals.
The CPTC “sees” the card as a common telephone set.
In the other end of the E1 Link, the FXS card generates ring and signaling as detected by the card
connected to the CPTC. It reads hook status as well, sending it to the FXO card.
Point-to-point implementation. An exclusive voice channel is created to connect the telephone sets between
the FXS cards in the ends of the E1 Link.
Point-to-point implementation. An exclusive voice channel is created, which is always active between the
equipments connected do the FXO cards at the ends of the E1 Link. This application is useful when it is
desired to create a path for connecting analogue modems.
Normally used for voice transmission and signaling between PABX equipments. The equipment is
configurable for operating with E&M I, II, IV and V signaling types. It can transmit voice in 2 or 4 wires.
PABX PABX
This loopback is used to test the data incoming from the cross-connect matrix. Figure 44 shows this test.
This test allows a quick check of transmission quality, without using external test equipment.
The BERT test pattern is generated towards the Mux cross-connect device, so it can be redirected to any of
the equipment interfaces. Figure 45 shows this test.
Figure 46 shows the operational difference of the RING test when run in the FXS card as compared to
running it for the FXO card.
When the RING test is run in the FXS card, the RING signal is directly sent to the subscriber line, so that the
telephone set connected to it will ring.
When the RING test is run in the FXO card, the RING signaling is sent through CAS (channel associated
signaling) using the “link” between the FOX505. The FXS card will forward this signaling to the telephone
subscriber, so that the telephone set rings.
Figure 46 shows the OFF HOOK test operating differences when run in the FXS card as compared to
running it in the FXO card.
When the OFF HOOK test is run in the FXO card, the off-hook signal is directly sent to the central office
line.
When the OFF HOOK test is run in the FXS card, the off-hook signaling is sent through CAS (channel
associated signaling) using the “link” between the FOX505. The FXO card will forward this signaling to the
central office.
The voice card will stay off-hook until the user deactivates the OFF HOOK test.
The E&M cards also allow running tests for forcing the status of the E and M lines.
Through the control software it is possible to read the status of these lines.
The G.703 co directional interface card has six independent interfaces, operating at rates of 64, 128 or
256kbit/s.
The connections for each port are available through RJ45 (RJ48C) connectors with 120ohms impedance in
the G.703 interface.
The receiver can operate in distances of up to 1000 meters over 0,4mm twisted pair at 64kbit/s.
The G.703 Co directional module has 6 LEDs in its front panel indicating the carrier status of each link: off
indicates that the interface has no carrier, blinking indicates carrier detected, but AIS (all bits in mark - “1”) is
being received and on indicates that the carrier is being detected and there is data variation.

This loopback is used to test the external link and the two data paths.
This test allows a quick check of the transmission quality, without using external test equipment. For the
G64 interface the pattern is generated towards the physical interface.
The FOX505-BASE BAND MODEM (Base Band Modem) card has six independent base band interfaces to
operate in 4-wire duplex mode over type B private data lines. The modem can be configured to operate in
the rates of 64, 128 or 256kbit/s.
Each modem interface has an RJ45 (RJ48C) connector, with 150ohms impedance.
The card front panel has six LEDs indicating each interface status.
Each modem interface operates in 4-wire duplex mode over private data lines (typ. 150Ohm) using bipolar
coding.
The FOX505-BASE BAND MODEM interfaces are electrically isolated, using transformers, and controlled
differential gain. The signal equalization is adaptive, allowing the modem to operate at various distances
without need to reconfigure. Considering transmission over 0,4mm (AWG 26) wire, the range is 6km @
64kbit/s, 5km @ 128kbit/s, and 4km @ 256kbit/s.
Bad or missing FGND can cause BASE BAND MODEM interface performance
degrading. The tests for the above cited ranges were done connecting FGND and
DGND.
13.1.3. Synchronism:
The FOX505-BASE BAND MODEM card cannot be used to regenerate the system clock. This means that
the Mux clock cannot be recovered from the BASE BAND MODEM interface card.
The inability to regenerate clock from the base band modem interfaces leads to:
Every modem connected to the BASE BAND MODEM should be configured as clock regenerator,
with the Mux where the BASE BAND MODEM resides being the system master clock.
Base band modem ports residing in different equipments (FOX505) cannot be interconnected, for
neither one can regenerate the system clock.
13.1.4. Pinning
Each of the four modem interface using pining as stated in following table:
Pin Signal
Function Signal
(RJ45) Source
Transmit Data + 4 Tx + Mux
Transmit Data - 5 Tx - Mux
Receive Data + 1 Rx + LPCD
Receive Data - 2 Rx - LPCD
Protective Ground 3&6 FGND GND
Other pins are not connected
The LOS / SYNC / AIS status indicates to the user the present receiver status.
LOS indicates that the modem is not identifying carrier (the HDB3 signal) in the analogue line.
AIS indicates that the modem is recovering data, but there is no data variation, meaning that the interface is
receiving mark only (All Ones).
The SYNC indication means that the modem is recovering data and it is changing (there is data transition in
the interface). This is the normal equipment operation.
Status LED
LOS Off
AIS Blinking (1Hz)
SYNC On
The Line Quality Indicator provides qualitative information about the status of the analogue line connected
to the BASE BAND MODEM port. This indicator is derived from the performance indicators, that is, if there
are code violations in the modem receiver (data is not being recovered correctly), the line quality is low.
When there are such a large number of code violations that precludes the interface from identifying an
HDB3 signal, the interface signals the LOS status.
The SLIP indication means that an overflow or underflow has occurred in the receive FIFO. The FIFO
blowup is related to interface clock slippage regarding system clock.
This loopback is used to test the external link and both data paths.
This test allows a quick check of the transmission quality, without using external test equipment.
The BERT test pattern for the BASE BAND MODEM interface is generated towards the outside of the Mux.
The BASE BAND MODEM card is able to run the RDL test, but it can only send the test (it cannot receive
this command from the remote side). It is useful to test connection to remote equipments.
The outputs of the interface card are compatible with Recommendations V.35, V.36/V.11 and V.28 (at
64kbit/s), strap selectable. It can also be configured to operate using a proprietary data structure.
The V.35 Dual has two ports capable of transporting data. The operational rates are multiples of 64kbit/s
(nx64kbit/s, n from 1 to 32). Each port can individually reach the rate of 2048kbit/s. Note, however, that
when using old cards (hardware version 3) the two ports will share the 2048kbit/s rate.
The V.35 Dual interface card has four LEDs in its front panel, two for each port. The LEDs display. Transmit
data (103) and Receive data (104).
CT113 is the DTE-provided transmission clock. The FOX505 can be configured to use this signal. If
the port in use is the Mux clock source, it will automatically use this signal.
CT114 is the card transmission clock, and it is in sync with the FOX505 transmission clock or to the
DTE-provided clock (CT113).
CT115 is the receive clock regenerated from the system clock (clock source). Its rate depends on
the rate configured for the digital interface.
CT128 is the external clock for digital interface data reception. This mode is always available and
when there is no interface clock, it will automatically switch to CT115. It can be used or disabled
(forced OFF).
CT140 is a Digital Remote Loopback request generated by the DTE. The activation of this signal
generates a loop request for the remote interface data. Data incoming from CT103 loops back to the
CT104, going through the entire system. This signal can be taken into account or ignored (forced
OFF).
CT141 is a DTE-generated cross-connect loopback (LAL) request. The signal activation starts the
test, where data incoming from CT103 are redirected for CT104. This signal can be taken into
account or ignored (forced OFF).
CT142 remains activated while the card is under test. Its direction is from the Mux to the digital
interface (DTE).
Normally, when operating at low speeds, the ports are electrically configured as V.28
interfaces, it is recommended to check if the card strapping was adequately done.
Speed (Port Rate): it can be selected as 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200bits/s or disabled.
Clock source (Port Clock):
Clock Source: indicates that the port will use as its clock the equipment clock source (FOX505);
External (CT113): indicates that the port will use the interface CT113 signal as the data input clock;
CT104 Controlled: causes data sent through CT104 to use the CT113 signal as synchronism, this is, the
CT104 signal is sent linked to CT113.
Phase (Phase 1 / Phase 2): selects the phase in which data incoming from this port will be inserted in the
X.50 frame. There are five available phases (numbered from 1 to 5). When the rate is 19200bit/s, it is
necessary to use two phases (for the quantity of data is not supported by a single phase). In this case,
phase 2 will be available and must be configured.
Octet: indicates in which octet of the selected phase data will start to be inserted. There are eight possible
octets available for configuring (numbered from 1 to 8) and the configurable values depend upon the
selected rate.
Gateway (Use as group gateway): this option indicates that the port will act as gateway for the X.50 link,
that is, the port will represent the input and output link signals. This indication selects which card will have
an available timeslot for configuring in the “timeslot configuration” table. Each group can only have a single
port as gateway.
Port main (Use as group main): this option indicates that the port will act as main X.50 link port, that is, this
port will be configured for 64kbit/s and the X.50 link will be transmitted through this port and no longer by the
“timeslot configuration” table.
Each group can only have a single port as main and this will always be the Gateway port.
Group: indicates which cards operate together in a cascading link (drop-insert). All the group cards will
operate in the same aggregate link. Eight groups are possible (numbered from 1 to 8).
Division: selects the structure type to be used in the X.50 frame. The possible values are 2 and 3. When the
1200bit/s rate is selected, only division 2 will be available, for division 3 does not accept rates lower than
2400bit/s.
Cascading (Drop insert unused channels): when enabled, allows that a port operates performing drop insert
in the group link. Whenever disabled, the card will insert IDLE (Idle byte) in the unused data link octets.
When there is more than a card pertaining to a group, the ‘Drop insert unused channels’ option should be
enabled.
Operation Mode (synchronous/asynchronous): the ports can be independently configured to operate in
synchronous or asynchronous mode.
When a card is configured for X.50, its two ports will belong to the same group. All the ports belonging to the
same group must respect some basic rules, such as:
There can be only a single Main port. When there is one, it will also be a Gateway port. Only port 2
of the X.50 cards can be the Main port;
All the ports must be configured for the same division;
If there is more than one card in the group, the Drop Insert option should be enabled.
If the above conditions are observed, each port may be configured independently. And one may if it will
work on a synchronous or asynchronous, way as well as their clock and control configurations.

In the FOX505 V.35 interface, the CT109 signal indicates the status of the interface, which is providing the

This loopback is used to test the external link and both data paths.
The local analogue loopback is used to test the card interface analogue circuits.
This test allows a quick check of the transmission quality, without using external test equipment.
The BERT test pattern is generated towards the Mux cross-connect device, so that it can be redirected to
any of the equipment interfaces.
This test can be used together with a cross-connect loopback, a digital remote loopback or a physical
connection. It is also possible to activate BERT for two interfaces that communicate to each other. In this
case, each receiver will monitor the pattern sent by the transmitter of the other equipment (remember that
the pattern transmitted by both equipments should be the same).
When operating as Structured V.35, the test pattern is transmitted towards the outside of the interface:
transmitted by CT104 and identified by CT103.
The BERT test pattern is generated towards the card V.35 interface, so it can be used to test the card data
link.
The interface transmits an order of activation of remote bow in direction of the table of cross-connect of the
Mux, being redirected for another interface. When the remote side detects the LDR order, sends a signal of
confirmation of closing of Loop. When the plate that executed the order detects the reply, it in such a way
enters in test, informing this condition in LED TEST of the CPUX as in the software of configuration and
status. The remote device, then, behaves as if it was in LDL, returning the data for the original interface (of
the order).
The remote device will only enter in test will have been qualified for this test (through the configuration
software when the option will be qualified to accept asked for of LDR).
As it happens with BERT, in the structuralized V.35, the standard of activation of the LDR is transmitted in
direction to the V.35 interface (CT103 and CT104). The V.35 transmits an order of activation of remote bow
in direction of its digital interface.
The 6V35 card presents interfaces compatible with V.35, V.36/V.11 and V.24/V.28 recommendations. Six
ports are available (via two DB44 female connectors, with three ports on each), capable of transporting
data, and all of them can operate on any of the three modes referred to.
Each port may indvidually reach the rate of 2048kbit/s and all ports may operate at the rate concurrently,
that is, the sum of all ports may reach 12.288kbit/s.
There are six LEDs on its front panel, with each LED indicating the status of one of the interfaces.

The pinnings presented refer to connector 1 (DB44 located on the left of the card seen
from its front). The pinnings for connector 2 follow exactly the same standard, however,
they connect ports 4, 5 and 6 (port 4 is equivalent to port 1 in the tables, port 5 is
equivalent to 2 and port 6 is equivalent to 3).
CT103 (TD) is the data signal supplied by the ETD (the Mux will always be regarded as ECD). If the
CT106 signal is OFF, a mark will be transmitted.
CT104 is the data signal provided for the ETD. If the CT109 signal is OFF, a mark will be transmitted
to the ETD.
CT105 is a control signal generated by the ETD, which indicates a request to send. It may be
configured to be either considered or ignored (always ON).
CT106 is a control signal generated by the equipment, indicating that the Mux is ready to send. On
the FOX505, the CT106 follows the CT105, with a delay shorter than 2ms, unless some test which
changes its behavior is enabled.
CT107 is a control signal generated by the equipment, indicating it is ready to operate. When in
regular operation, it remains active, except when the BERT sequence is enabled or when a request
to activate the remote device loop by the Mux side is received.
CT109 is a control signal generated by the equipment, indicating that a carrier is being detected on
the interface which is connected to the V.35 (via cross-connect table, internally in the Mux), and the
receiver is synchronized. When there is no synchronization on some of the structures enabled, the
CT109 remains OFF and the CT104 remains locked on a mark.
CT113 is the transmission clock provided by the ETD. The FOX505 may be configured in order to
use this signal. If the port used is the source of the Mux clock, it will start to use this signal
automatically.
CT114 is the transmission clock used by the card, being synchronized with the FOX505
transmission clock or with the clock provided by the ETD (CT113).
CT115 is the receiving clock regenerated from the system clock (clock source). Its rate depends on
the digital interface speed configuration.
This loop serves to test the external link and the two data directions.
The local analog loop serves to test the analog portion of the interface card circuits.
This test allows the transmission quality to be checked without using external test equipment.
The BERT test standard is generated towards the Mux cross-connect device and, therefore, may be
directed to any one of the interfaces present on the equipment.
This test may be used jointly with a loop on the cross-connect, a remote digital loop or some physical
connection. It is also possible to activate a BERT on two interfaces communicating with each other. In this
instance, each receiver will monitor the standard sent by the transmitter of the other equipment (remember
that the standard transmitted by the two equipment should be the same).
The interface transmits a request to activate the remote loop towards the Mux cross-connect table, which is
redirected to another interface. When the remote side detects the LDR request, it sends a loop closing
confirmation signal. When the card which performed the request detects the answer, it goes into the test
mode, reporting such condition on the configuration software. Then, the remote device behaves as if it was
on LDL, returning the data to the interface originating the request.
The remote device will only go into the test mode if it is enabled for this test (via configuration software,
when the option to accept the LDR request is enabled).

Table 45 presents the strap configurations for the alarm inputs, where xx represents the input selected
(between 1 and 16).
Example: To configure port 07 as voltage, E07A strap should be on position 0 - 2 and the E07B and E07C

This loop serves to test the external link and the two data directions.
This test allows the transmission quality to be checked without using an external test equipment. It is
generated towards the cross-connect table.
The Switch tributary is a card which purpose is to send traffic of Ethernet ports via the CPUX cross-connect
matrix. For such, it has 8 physical ports which traffic crosses some multiplex and switching levels until
reaching the matrix. These ports operate on the Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex modes (IEEE 802.3).
The card supports level 2 switching, with VLAN functionalities (IEEE802.1Q), service classes with packet
classification by port, VLAN or DSCP tag (RFC2474). It also supports band control and Half-Duplex flow
control with the back-pressure or Full-Duplex method via Pause frames.
It is possible to map Ethernet signals for any data interface, including on the PDH payload, allowing for
access to the PDH networks via fractionated E1 interfaces (G.704).
When used jointly with the HS cards, then it is possible to perform a mapping of
Ethernet signals on the SDH payload.
Each one of the LEDs (1 to 8) represents the status of the respective interface (see Table 46).

Switch - Switches the Ethernet traffic between 8 external ports (physical) and 16 internal ports.
Allows isolating groups of ports on broadcast domains, including support for the VLANs.
CoS - Class of service configurations may define the priority ratios in the packet switching inside the
switch.
17.3. Interfaces
The card may operate both on the bridge mode and the switch mode, with support for 802.1q VLAN. It
follows the Ethernet 10/100Mbit/s standard (auto-negotiable), being capable of a rate of up to 2Mbit/s per
port.
17.3.1. Bridge
On the bridge mode the card operates as a converter of Ethernet interfaces - n x 64kbit/s.
17.3.2. Switch
On the switch mode the card allows for the switching of the Ethernet traffic and for any LAN or WAN
interface, including support for VLANs.
17.4. Ports
LAN - 8 ports - All called Ethernet or MAC ports. These are physical ports to which the user has
access, corresponding to the connectors present on the panel.
WAN - 16 ports - These are ports which, together with the LANs, are connected to the card Switch.
Just like the LANs, they have a VLAN and CoS configuration, however, they have no physical
Ethernet configuration.
These ports have no relationship with CPUX card management WAN ports.
17.6. Tests
This card has no tests available.
FOX505 IP card converts PPP data protocols coming from remote routers (connected to a TDM -WAN-
Network) into Ethernet, in one of the two available LAN interfaces, allowing Metro Ethernet and TDM
Network integration.
It allows Ethernet (802.1p) service quality demarcation changes, according to the customer (WAN) or
DSCP, and maps each customer to a different VLAN, allowing data separation and prioritization inside the
Metro-Ethernet network.
Searching for Ethernet port optimization, the FOX505 IP card provides data aggregation of up to three (3)
cards (100Mbit/s) in only one card, by LAN interface stacking.
There are two different FOX505 IP models with different capacities:
FOX505 IP 16E1: up to 512 WANs, up to 32Mbit/s (data per card)
FOX505 IP 4E1: up to 128 WANs, up to 8Mbit/s (data per card)
If the equipment is operating with FOX505 IP 16E1 card and CPUX64, 256 WAN
Interfaces will be available only, with maximum 16Mbit/s for each card. For full
capacity, use CPUX128

Two (2) Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, according to IEEE 802.3, always operating with VLANs.
All ports have rate auto negotiation (10/100/1000Mbit/s), Half/Full duplex mode and MDI/MDIX options.
Each WAN interface can operate in N x 64 Kbit/s (from 64Kbit/s to 2Mbit/s). WAN interfaces link layer
protocol can be PPP, according to RFC 1661/1662 .
It allows PPP interface traffic mapping into VLANs (802.1q) in Ethernet ports and classifies packets in two
(2) different methods: automatic: mapping between the type of IP service (DSCP) and the Ethernet (802.1p)
network quality service; Fixed – not considering the type of IP service; the Ethernet network quality depends
on the user configuration only.
A second VLAN TAG can be added when using the Nx64(bridge) protocol if Q-in-Q is
chosen. It is also possible to set the VLAN TAG removing feature (TAGs that come
from the Ethernet interface).
Each customer's configuration depends on the definition of the following: interfaces` selection; ETH and
VLAN; TDM cross connection rate; Ethernet prioritization mode (automatic from WAN packet DSCP or fixed
configured value; definition of the router`s IP (router connected to the customer in TDM and Ethernet
networks.
The Stacking mode may be activated in any port. It aggregates data from many interfaces. When turned on,
the staking mode allows data to pass trough both non-used VLAN Ethernet interfaces. Ethernet ports have
MDI/MDIX automatic selection, making it possible to connect them to any Ethernet port using straight or
cross cable.
A management VLAN may be configured which allows alarm verification and Firmware updating directly
from Ethernet network. Permitted users are the same of those from the CPUX of the equipment.
18.4. Application
FOX505 - CESoP (Circuit Emulation Services over Packet) has its main function TDM data conversion
(consolidated in a BUNDLE). Thus it is possible to send data from any interface of the equipment in a
transparent way over IP networks to be converted again into TDM data in the remote equipment, what
makes the FOX505more flexible. It allows the communication between different TDM networks through PSN
(Packet Switching Network).
This circuit card enables as well the configuration of Ethernet Quality of Service (802.1p) according to the
client (bundle) and DSCP (layer 2 and layer 3), allowing the separation and priorization of the packets into
Metro-Ethernet networks.
According to IEEE 802.3, there are two (2) Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbit/s ports and number of channel
according to the model of the card. There are two FOX505 CESoP models with different capacities:
FOX505 - CESoP 16E1 up to 512 bundles, reaching up to 32Mbit/s data per card.
FOX505 - CESoP 4E1 up to 128 bundles, reaching up to 8Mbit/s data per card.
Each channel can be configured in N x 64 Kbit/s (from 64Kbit/s to 2Mbit/s) and can operate in framed mode
without CAS, framed with CAS or Unframed, and can be identified by:
Timeslot in traffic;
In case of using the FOX505 - CESoP 16E1 with a CPUX64, only 256 bundles are
available, adding up a maximum of 16Mbit/s per card.
Each one of the LEDs (1 and 2) shows the state of the respectively interface (look up for the meaning of the

The Ethernet ports have the functionality of automatic MDI/MDIX selection that allows it
to be connected to any Ethernet port using a cross-cable or a straight-cable.
19.2. Interfaces
There are two (2) Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbit/s ports and which can operate with QinQ and VLANs
(optional).
The ports have the facility of rate auto-negotiation (10/100/1000Mbit/s) operational mode (Half/Full duplex)
and MDI/MDIX.
Each bundle of the circuit card can be configured to operate in multiple rates of 64Kbit/s between 64Kbit/s
and 2Mbit/s.
TDM payload's size of a bundle depends on the number of timeslots, packet delay, and CAS mode set.
Besides that, operational configurations can be set using unframed mode (32 TS), framed (TS1 to TS31)
and framed with CAS (TS1 to TS30).

Aggregate STM-1 electrical interface module. It allows interconnecting a FOX505 equipment to an SDH
network by an electrical STM-1 interface installed in a high speed (HS) slot. In this way the STM-1
aggregate interfaces can be used to connect to an STM-1 ring or for point-to-point connection with 1+1
protection.
It allows cross-connection of up to 32 VC-12 and VC-3 pass-thru for the aggregate interfaces. The
155Mbit/s interface follows ITU-T Recommendation G.703.
- Connectors: BNC
- Nominal impedance: 75ohms
- Coding: Coded Mark Inversion (CMI)
- Rate: 155.520kbit/s
The electrical interface has short range if compared to the optical interface, so it is
adequate to interconnect equipments residing in the same site
SYNC
o On: the electrical STM-1 signal was received in sync.
o Off: electrical STM-1 signal was received out of sync, or no signal.
Aggregate STM-1 optical interface module. It allows interconnecting a FOX505 equipment to an SDH

b. Laser Force On: Forces the laser to turn on, regardless of the presence of fibers connected to the
card.
The interface optical module uses invisible laser radiation transmitters. Never look
straight at the laser terminals or to the optical fiber – exposure to laser emission can
cause partial or total vision loss.
MSP Protection Test: Enables the user to switch from the work link to the protection link (or vice-
versa). It can be manually performed, or forced. It is used when operating in terminal mode.
The Front End Loop test is available, as can be seen in Figure 87.

This module provides one electrical E3 interface. Installed in a HS slot, it allows a FOX505 equipment to be
interconnected to another equipment via a point-to-point, electrical E3 connection.
The electrical E3 aggregate consists of a physical E3 interface and 16 connection E1s (virtual) and all E1s
may be connected to the CPUX matrix.
The operation of the connection E1s for the E3 aggregate is analog to the operation of
the connection E1s for the other HS interfaces.

Allows placing a 75ohms termination in the received external clock signal. When connected, the termination
allows that a cable be directly placed at the mux input, with no signal reflection.
When disconnected, the clock can be cascaded to many equipments (using T type connectors).
The user must make sure that there is a termination placed at the last T connector of
the chain, otherwise noises or reflections that will alter the clock signal can appear,
hampering the equipment performance.
The CPUX64 and CPUX128 card have 24 wide area network interfaces (WAN) and one physical
10/100BaseTx Ethernet LAN interface.
The LAN interface can operate with or without auto negotiation, allowing the user to choose between half or
full duplex mode and 10 or 100Mbit/s rate.
Each of the WAN interfaces can be configured for a nx64kbit/s rate, as long as the total rate does not
exceed 2048kbit/s, and can be cross-connected to any physical interface carrying data.
The equipment performs routing between any of its interfaces following its routing table, which can be built
as follows:
User inserted static routes;
Routes learned from the RIPv1 and RIPv2 protocols.
The equipment network configuration can be done via management software, terminal or telnet. However,
WAN interfaces physical mapping to data timeslots can only be done through management software.
24. Alarms
The FOX505 CPUX’s have three inputs for external alarms and one equipment alarm output. The alarm
inputs and output have configurable severity and enabling.
The inputs and output are available in a DB9 connector located in front of the CPUX card. The pin out is
given in Table 8.
The alarm output is showed in three different levels: Critical, Major and Minor.
Severities of alarms:
Critical - These are the most severe equipment alarms. These alarms directly impact equipment
basic operation and cause temporary data loss in the protected links or permanent data loss in
unprotected links. Examples: physical failures in the aggregate links, equipment hardware failures,
etc.
Major - (High priority alarms) – Alarms that impact unprotected link operation, causing temporary
data loss in the protected links. Examples: regenerating section TIM alarm, unprotected tributary link
failures, etc.
Minor - (Low priority alarms) – Alarms that do not cause major equipment operation problems. As
minor alarm examples: remote equipment alarm (RDI), etc.
Every FOX505 alarm generates trap for management and a log input. The alarms are filtered to avoid
signaling redundant problems, and the highest hierarchy alarm is reported.
If an alarm is activated and deactivated many times in a short period of time, an instability situation is
noticed. The alarm is then activated up to the point where the instability does not persist anymore. This
situation is properly reported in the equipment log and by management traps.
The FOX505 is capable of operating normally when interface cards are plugged in or taken out from its
slots, without need to switch off the power supply.
However, some precautions must be taken so that no equipment problem occurs during the process of
insertion or extraction of cards with the equipment under operation.
Hot Swap procedures must be done by expert technicians trained to operate this
equipment. Any other person can get hurt by electric shocks.
The card must be inserted correctly. It must slide into the slot smoothly. Never force the
insertion of a card. In case of difficulties, stop the insertion and check if there is
something blocking the slot, then try again.
Never run FOX505 without a CPUX: this will generate error in the data of all the
interfaces that may not be reestablished after insertion of new CPUX
Even in redundant operation, bear in mind that extracting the CPUX will always cause bit-errors. If the
standby CPUX is in sync and ready to operate, such errors may occur during 5 seconds after switch-
over.DSL-cards may need to resync the line, which hmay take up to 1 minute, depending on the line
conditions.
It is only possible redundancy between equal models of CPUX. It’ not recommended
running different types of CPUX in the same chassis!
First take off the basic unit slot protection cover where it is desired to install the supply.
Connect the power cable to the supply card to be installed.
Insert the supply in its appropriate slot and push it nearly to the end (it is important that its front panel
reaches approximately 1cm from the edge of the cabinet).
Connect the power cable to the outlet to power the supply.
Completely insert the supply card in the equipment and screw it tightly.
The POWER SUPPLY card has “live” connections (with outlet voltage and other higher
voltage levels) in many places. So, if the above procedure is not followed, the user will
be exposed to electric shocks and may also cause interruption in the equipment
operation or even equipment damage.
Turn off the power supply to be extracted, by removing its power cable.
If the card edge connector is straight (according to Figure 92) the card can be inserted without damaging
the equipment.
25.3.2. Interface cards that can NOT be “hot-swapped” (risk to the equipment and to the
card)
If part of the edge card connector is slanted (according to Figure 93), the card should not be “hot-swapped”
for it can damage the equipment and/or the card itself.
All these procedures can cause equipment damage and harm to the people conducting
them. So, when in doubt, please call ABB for more details.

The power supply, where the supply cable is connected, must be positioned near the
equipment and be on an easily accessible location, because the equipment is turned
on and off through it.
Follow attentively every guidance included in this manual. In case of doubts, please
contact the authorized technical support.
When installing, always tighten screws and knurling screws until the end of their thread
and until they are completely tightened.
The power supply, where the supply cable is connected, must be positioned near the
equipment and have easy access, because the equipment is turned on and off through

In case of using DC voltage, you must be careful so that the equipment protection earth
cable (green cable with yellow line related to the central socket pin) matches the
system protection earth cable. This cable must be connected before any other
connection. The metallic structure of the equipment is connected to the protection earth
cable.
The equipment supports a 6.3A fuse, type T (delay), 250 V. If necessary, replace it only
for another one of the same type and value.
This unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect all power supply cords to
completely remove power from this unit.
The user must make sure there is no voltage difference between the Mux DB9 pin 5
(signal ground) and pin 5 of the DB9 (or DB25 pin 7) for the PC or terminal. If this
happens it will damage the Mux and the PC or terminal serial interfaces. To check that
there is no voltage difference, use an AC voltmeter to check the voltage between these
pins. If there is a voltage difference, check if the MUX and the PC are properly
grounded and connect the signal ground to the MUX protective ground. This should
solve the problem. If the above conditions are met, then the serial cable can be
connected without turning off the equipment.
To comply with EMC requirements, use only good quality cables and connectors
approved for this purpose, according the following interfaces.
To ensure compliance with EMC standards, when operating in 120 ohms, shielded
cables connecting to ground (GND) are required.
To ensure compliance with EMC standards all input and output shielded cables
connecting to ground is required, i.e, all straps shall be in the grounded position.
When the FXS, FXO or E&M cards analogue lines pass through media that can suffer
influence of electrical or atmospheric discharges, it is recommended to add primary
protection devices to these lines, like gas sparklers and/or varistors.
Bad or missing FGND can cause BASE BAND MODEM interface performance
degrading. The tests for the above cited ranges were done connecting FGND and
DGND.
When the FXS, FXO or E&M cards analogue lines pass through media that can suffer
influence of electrical or atmospheric discharges, it is recommended to add primary
protection devices to these lines, like gas sparklers and/or varistors.
The card must be inserted correctly on the guides, and run easily. If there is something
blocking the fitting, do not force it. Remove the card, check what could be preventing
the proper fitting and try again.
Never leave FOX505 without no hardware CPUX: this will generate error in the data of
all the interfaces that could exactly not be reestablished after insertion of new CPUX. It
always connects the new CPUX before removing the first one.
This symbols means that, case the procedure was not correctly followed, may exist
electrical shock risk.
To prevent risks of electric shock, before binding the equipment or connecting some
card or cable of interface, connected the ground.
All slots that are not occupied with cards must be closed with a blind panel. Thus, you
avoid the exposure to the energized parts inside the equipment. This procedure must
be performed only by trained and authorized people.
Before connecting any cable to the equipment, make sure that the grounding system is
functional.
The POWER SUPPLY card has “live” connections (with outlet voltage and other higher
voltage levels) in many places. So, if the above procedure is not followed, the user will
be exposed to electric shocks and may also cause interruption in the equipment
operation or even equipment damage.
The hot swap procedure must be performed only by qualified technicians with specific
training in this equipment. The non-compliance with this requirement may expose the
person performing this procedure to electric shocks.
