DESCRIPTION

The RFL Fiber Service Unit (FSU) provides an interface between synchronous electrical signals and
optical fiber. It can be used with the RFL 9300, RFL 9745, RFL IMUX 2000 or other types of
multiplexers. It can also be used with any other C37.94 compliant, end device. There are a total of five
varieties of FSUs using both single and multimode fiber heads. They use RS-449, V.35, G.703, X.21
and E1 as inputs and outputs on the non-fiber side of the connection. Note that there is a modification
allowing the unit to be mounted into a 1U Chassis. The FSU is a stand-alone device, which is
essentially a translator to and from data sent using these five interface standards in accordance with the
IEEE C37.94 fiber protocol. The G.703 is 64,000 bps only and thus it has N fixed at 1. The other four
versions use a DIP switch to set the value of N. The characteristics of each of the five types of Fiber
Service Units, is shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 12, except for
the 1U version of the unit which is shown in Figure 6 and 9.

 INSTALLATION
Installation involves mounting the FSU module in its desired location, connecting all signal, coaxial and
power cables, and programming the module data rate and other configuration settings.

Note 1: Instructions for the 107460-1 thru -4 FSU units also apply to the following units.
108015-1 thru -4, 107460-1-1, 107460-1-2, 107460-2-2 and 107460-3-1

Note 2: Instructions for the 107460-5 FSU also apply to the 108015-5 and 107460-5-1 units.
To install the module, proceed as follows:
1. Carefully inspect the module for any signs of shipping damage. If you suspect damage to the
module, immediately call RFL Customer Service at the number given at the bottom of this page.
2. Check the assembly number on the front panel of the module to make sure the unit is compatible
with your interface requirement as shown in Table 1.
3. Use Table 7 as a wiring guide for the D subminiature connector if your interface is RS-449 or
V.35. Use Table 8 as a wiring guide for the D subminiature connector if your interface is X.21 or
G.703. Use Table 9 as a wiring guide for the D subminiature connector if your interface is 120 ohm
E1. Use Table 10 as a wiring guide for the BNC connectors if your interface is 75 ohm E1. When
fastening the D subminiature connector, make sure that the screws on both ends of the mating
connector are tightened to secure the connector to the FSU front panel.

NOTE
ALL CABLING TO AND FROM THE FIBER SERVICE UNIT INTERFACE CONNECTOR
MUST UTILIZE SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR OR COAXIAL CABLE TO MINIMIZE
CROSSTALK AND INTERFERENCE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES.

CAUTION
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE POWER CONNECTIONS TO THE FIBER SERVICE
UNIT, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR POWER SOURCE IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE FSU. IF
THE IMPROPER VOLTAGE IS CONNECTED TO THE FSU, COMPONENT DAMAGE MAY
RESULT.

A suitably rated power disconnect device and over current protection device (e.g. fuse or circuit
breaker) must be installed between the station battery supply and the FSU power input. The
over current protective device should be rated at 0.5 to 1.5 Amps.

4. Connect input power to the following terminals on the rear-panel terminal block connector TB1, as
shown in Figure 5, see Figure 6 and 9 for 1U chassis installation.
Station battery positive TB1-1
Station battery negative TB1-2
Ground TB1-3
5. Fiber optic cables with type ST series bayonet fiber optic connectors must be connected to the fiber
optic heads on the front panel of the FSU module and to the far end chassis. When connecting fiber
optic cables, make sure the connectors are properly aligned before tightening, and then fully tighten
them. This will help minimize losses in the connector.

 6. For 107460-1 to -5, select the FSU data rate using DIP switches SW1-1 through SW1-4 in accordance with
Table 6. The FSU data rate must be set to the same data rate as the unit at the other end of the fiber. The
settings of SW1-1 through SW1-4 are ignored by the (107460-3) G.703 module since its data rate is fixed at
64 kb/s. For an RFL 9745 the data rate is 64 kb/s. For an RFL 9300 the data rate is 64 kb/s.

7a. For 107460-1, -2, -4, select a normal or inverted transmit data clock by using DIP switch SW1-5.
Place SW1-5 to the DOWN position to select normal transmit data clock.

Place SW1-5 to the DOWN position to enable CRC4.
Place SW1-5 to the UP position to disable CRC4.
8a. For 107460-1, -2 and -4, select a normal or inverted receive data clock by using DIP switch SW1-6.
Place SW1-6 to the DOWN position to select normal receive data clock.
Place SW1-6 to the UP position to select inverted receive data clock.
For 107460-3, set SW1-6 to the DOWN position.
8b. For 107460-5, select AMI or HDB3 encoding by using DIP switch SW1-6.
Place SW1-6 to the DOWN position to select HDB3 encoding.
Place SW1-6 to the UP position to select AMI encoding.
9a. For 107460-1, -2 & -4, select a normal or inverted data by using DIP switch SW1-7.
This switch is ignored by 107460-3.
Place SW1-7 to the DOWN position to select inverted data.
Place SW1-7 to the UP position to select normal data.
9b. For 107460-5, enable or disable Fiber Loopback by using DIP switch SW1-7.

Place SW1-7 to the UP position to disable Fiber Loopback.
10a. For 107460-3, enable or disable octet timing on the G.703 module by using DIP switch SW1-8. This
switch is ignored by 107460-1, -2 and -4.
Place SW1-8 to the UP position to enable octet timing.
Place SW1-8 to the DOWN position to disable octet timing.
10b. For 107460-5, enable or disable E1 Loopback by using DIP switch SW1-8.

Location Designation Function

On ECB J203, J205 Used to ground the outer conductor of the BNC connectors when necessary.
No. 107463-5 Both jumpers should be set to “U” when using the DB-15 E1 port.
Board B J203 is set to “G” and J205 is set to “U” when using the BNC E1 ports

J204 120 ohm E1 port (DB-15 male connector) Refer to Table 8 for interface
connections

J206 75 ohm E1 TX port (BNC connector)

J207 75 ohm E1 RX port (BNC connector)

SW201 Selects impedance of E1 port as follows:

Set to 75 when using 75-ohm BNC ports
Set to 120 when using 120-ohm DB-15 port

SW203 Used to set E1 operating parameters as follows:

SW203-1 Selects Timing Mode

ON = Thru timing
OFF = Internal timing

SW203-2 For factory use only (Switch must be set to ON position)

SW203-3 Selects Normal operation or Transmit all ones, on E1 port.

ON = Normal operation (default setting)
OFF = Transmit all ones

SW203-4 Enables or disables jitter attenuator

ON = Disable jitter attenuator
OFF = Enable jitter attenuator (default setting)

SW203-5 Jitter attenuator selection

ON = Receiver (default setting)
OFF = Transmitter

SW203-6 Selects inverted data

ON = Inverted data
OFF = Normal operation (default setting)
