Mains Power supply
The mains power supply has a universal input suitable for 110V-240Vac/50-60Hz.
Connection to any other source may result in the unit failing to comply with safety
requirements.
Power should be supplied via an IEC mains lead (supplied).
The power supply must have a protective ground (earth). If not the mains filter will force the
metal case to a voltage equal to half the mains supply voltage.
DC power supply
The DC power supply has 2 input connectors. Both accept a voltage of -36V to -72V. Power
can be connected to either or both input connectors.
NB: the 0V connections on both connectors are common and are connected to the case.
The 0V connection should be connected to earth.
Figure 2 The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer controller card
Controller card
The controller card features 2 primary rate ports, 2 PC Card slots (not used), modem
(optional), LAN port, terminal port and LED's.
The terminal port is a V.24 compatible control port to which a PC or VT100 compatible
terminal or a PC emulating an ANSI terminal (e.g. running Procom, Windows Terminal,
Hyper terminal etc.) can be connected.
The LAN port is an IEEE 802.3 compatible Ethernet port.
It allows the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer to be controlled remotely via Telnet.
Software upgrades are possible via FTP. SNMP is also supported. If SNMP is to be used
contact Black Box for the MIB file.
The Line port is the modem (optional), which connects to an analogue telephone line.
Port 1 and port 2 are the primary rate ports - PRI 1 and PRI 2. PRI 1 provides the PRI
connection to a PRI line. PRI 2 provides the PRI connection to a PRI terminal equipment.
Pin-outs of the terminal, Ethernet, modem and PRI ports are given in an appendix.

LED's indicate power and alarm.
For each primary rate port the P LED is on when both physical link layer and data link layer
are active. It flashes when only the physical link is active. The B LED is on when any B
channel is in use.
For the Ethernet port the P LED indicates network present and the B LED indicates network
activity.
For the modem port, the P LED is on for off-hook and flashing for ringing. The B LED
indicates modem connected.
U and S cards

Restoring default settings
When the unit is first switched on the terminal port will default to 19200 baud, no parity, 8
data bits and 2 stop bits and will search for a <ctrl-c> being transmitted to the Primary to
Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer. If this occurs the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer will
restore the factory defaults otherwise it will use the stored settings.
If a setting has been changed and the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer ceases to
operate, powering up the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer, while holding down <ctrl-
c> for the first 20 seconds will restore a working configuration to the Primary to Basic Rate
ISDN Multiplexer.
The default settings are listed in an appendix.

Menu System
Introduction
This chapter outlines the user interface of the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer and
how the various functions of the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer are set up and
used.
The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer has 2 user interfaces - command line interface
and menu system. The menu system is described here. Details of the command line interface
are provided in the “Command Line Interface” chapter.
The menu system is not available when the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer is being
accessed via Telnet.
The user interfaces operate in 2 modes - user and super. User mode only allows read access to
configuration. Super mode allows read and write access. There is a facility to protect access
to super mode with a password.
Power Up Screen
Assuming that the hardware has been set up as described in the “Installation” chapter, when
power is applied the following message should be displayed on the user terminal or PC
Figure 5 The Primary to Basic Rate ISDN Multiplexer power up display
The default data format is 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity. If no message
appears then there is probably something wrong with the control cable. If some characters are
displayed but the format is strange then the terminal parameters are probably incorrect. Try
adjusting the terminal parameters so that they match the Primary to Basic Rate ISDN
Multiplexer.
