Electromagnetic Immunity Statement CAUTION NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of EN 50082-2 (Electromagnetic Immunity for heavy industry). 1. No user serviceable parts. All installation and servicing to be conducted by qualified service personnel. 2. The rack mounted version of this unit can be mounted anywhere in a 19 inch rack providing a 1.75 inch air gap is left above and below and a 1.0 inch air gap is left on the sides. 3. The connection of such equipment to a public telecommunications network in a European Community Member State will be in violation of the national law implementing Directive 91/263/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning telecommunication terminal equipment, including mutual recognition of their conformity. 4. Class 1 LED product. Environmental Considerations Equipment in a Rack 1. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given when installing the equipment in a rack. Maximum ambient temperature of Optica Technologies Incorporated equipment is +40º C. 2. Reduced Airflow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. 3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven loading. 4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern. 5. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Quick Start Guide This Quick Start Guide is for qualified technicians who are familiar with the ESCON/Bus &Tag environment. If you are new to this technology, you should read all the instructions in the 34600 User Guide to ensure proper setup and operation of the 34600 FXBT Converter. The 34600 User Guide is available for download from our website, www.opticatech.com. Unpacking and Inspecting the FXBT Use the following procedure to unpack and inspect your hardware: 1. Cut the tape and open the cardboard covers. 2. Remove all items from the top cardboard tray from the carton. 3. Remove the top cardboard tray from the carton. 4. Lift the chassis out of the carton, and remove the ends from the converter. 5. Remove the converter and desiccant pack from the static bag. 6. Remove the bottom cardboard tray from the carton. 7. Remove the Bus & Tag Y Cable from the bottom of the carton (if you ordered this item). 8. Make sure you have all the items listed on the packing list(s). If any items are missing or broken, please contact Optica Technologies. Preparing for Installation To ensure proper FXBT operation, you must have the following items and tools: A # 2 slotted and/or a # 2 Phillips Head screwdriver. Selecting the Installation Location The location of the FXBT should be clean, flat and dry. The FXBT may be installed: A. stand-alone, or B. rack-mounted in a rack panel available from Optica Technologies Either location should be within 6 feet (2meters) of power and should also conform to the environmental specifications typically required in data processing centers. Stand-alone units may be installed: under-floor on a shelf in an equipment cabinet
on a table top or on the floor in an out-of-the-way location Configurations The 34600 FXBT Converter is connected directly to a native CNC channel via a fiber optic MTRJ-to-MTRJ (or duplex-to-mtrj) cable. The bus and tag devices are then connected to a bus and tag "Y" cable that is connected to the FXBT converter. An RJ-45 cable may also be connected to the FXBT to allow OPTICA personnel to access the converter to read any status or error logs and to facilitate microcode upgrades. 34600 FXBT Configuration Connecting to the ESCON port The FXBT MTRJ fiber optic port requires an MTRJ to MTRJ (or duplex to MTRJ) fiber optic jumper cable to attach it to the channel. To attach the FXBT to the ESCON channel, follow the following steps: 1. Remove the jumper from the protective bag and remove one protective dust cap from the MTRJ end. 2. Remove the dust cap from the transceiver of the FXBT and insert the uncovered end of the jumper into the transceiver. 3. Route the other end of the jumper to the ESCON channel, being careful not to kink or stress the jumper. 4. Remove the dust cap and connect the jumper to the indicated ESCON channel.
Connecting to the Bus and Tag Devices The FXBT Bus and Tag port requires a Y connection cable (Optica Technologies P/N 149510, IBM P/N 6473053) to attach it to the legacy Bus and Tag devices. To attach the FXBT to the devices, follow the following steps: 1. Connect the 78 pin D-connector of the Y Cable to the 78 pin D- connector of the converter. Be sure to tighten the thumbscrews to finger tightness. 2. Connect the dark end of the Bus and Tag cables to the serpentine ends of the Y Cable (being sure you attach the Bus to the Bus and the Tag to the Tag). NOTE: Maximum Fiber Distances The maximum multi-mode fiber optic cable distance supported for an ESCON channel operating in native (CNC) mode, including ESCDs, is 3000 meters (9843 feet), some exceptions apply. See the Owners Manual for device-specific limitations. Indicators The FXBT has a four character display window and four LED indicators to provide status information. During normal operations the address of the converter rolls across the window. Indicator Definitions: NOT OPERATIONAL: (AMBER) (OFF): The converter is connected to an active ESCON channel and is receiving correct link sequences. (ON): The converter is connected to an active ESCON channel and is receiving incorrect link sequences (BLINKING): The converter is not connected to an active ESCON channel or the channel is configured offline. FIBER ACTIVE: (GREEN) The converter is connected to an active ESCON channel.
ERROR: (RED) The converter has encountered a condition that has resulted in an error log entry being generated. Normal operation continues. CU ACTIVE: (GREEN) The converter is actively communicating with a bus/tag device (OP IN). Character Window: NORMAL OPERATIONS: Scrolls the Optica microcode version and the current TCP/IP address of the FXBT. POWERING UP: Various numbers and characters indicating what stage the power-on diagnostics and self tests are in. OTHER STATES: DIAG±: The converter is in Diagnostic mode, placed there by a logged in user. Normal Operations cannot occur while in Diagnostic mode. IDIE: Converter must be replaced, call for product support. ERR±: During the Burn diagnostic routine, the converter received an error.
