1 KBU 64 Rackmount Specification
1.1 Introduction
This manual describes the Rackmount version of the KBU64. The
standalone KBU 64 has its own manual, Publication 80-10100000. For
information on the command menus and parameters in the rackmount
version, you will need to refer to the standalone KBU 64 manual.
The rackmount KBU 64 is a dual channel rack mountable card that uses
the KBU 64 Card Frame as a host for power and management via the
Management Card. The rackmounted KBU 64 consists of a KBU card
and a rear interface card (card 'pair'), both cards connecting to a
motherplane for power source and management. Rear interface cards
may be ordered as X.21, V.24, or V.35 variants.
Power supply is via two switching supplies, which normally load share
when both are fitted.

Figure 1.1 The KBU 64 Rackmount Version
Up to 13 KBU 64 card pairs may be fitted with either one or two power
supplies for resilience. The 1st card slot is for the Manager Card which
controls all cards within the rack via the KBU 64 polled management
system. If the Manager Card is not fitted, management of each card can
be performed by connecting a terminal directly to the command port of
the rear interface card. When fitted, the manager card must be placed in
slot 1, the left-hand most slot of the rack.

The rackmount version of the KBU 64 is functionally the same as the
standalone in most respects, as it uses the same software. Therefore
most of the sections of your KBU64 Manual manual (Publication 80-
10100000) relating to KBU 64's operation are relevant.
The rackmount card functionality differs in the following ways:-
•There is a single 15 way command port on each KBU 64 rear card
for all commands and alarms. There is no separate alarm port or
alarm relay output on the cards. The command port has the same
function as the standalone 25 way command port.
•The Management Card (if fitted) provides a command port for
access to all KBU 64 cards in the rack.
•Standard physical interfaces are provided for X21 (15 way 'D'),
V35 (34 way MRAC), and V24 (25 way 'D'). This means that the
V11/V28 selection links are not provided as they are no longer
necessary. A choice of 3 rear interface cards exist to provide
these interfaces.
•The interface LED's are as for the standalone except that the Link
LED's have been omitted for front panel clarity.
•The ISDN cable is connected to the Rear Interface Card by an RJ
45 style plug.
•Power indication for each power supply is present on the Manager
Card.

See the KBU64 standalone manual (Publication 80-10100000) for the
description of operation.
2.2 Rear Interface Cards
With all 3 card types the USER ports are configured as physical DCEs,
the LINK ports as DTEs. The USER ports are female and the LINK are
male for X21 and V24, both USER and LINK ports are female for V35.
All three card types use standard pin connection and so require 1 to 1
cables for connection to both user equipment and link equipment.
