5. Power opt ons
●DC 24V option
Converter box is powered by +12..+30VDC (non-isolated). The
equipment is resistant to incorrect power connection, if the voltage is
below 35V. Socket is PSU 5.5/2.5mm.
●DC 48V option
Converter box is powered by -36..-72VDC (isolated). The equipment is
resistant to incorrect power connection, if the voltage is below 100V.
Socket is MC 1,5/3-G-3.81.
●AC option
Converter box is powered by 85…240VAC, 47…63Hz, socket
IEC60320-C14
6. Conf gurat on
1. Modes of operat on
The converter offers three modes of operation:
●S mple converter mode
Simple interface converter 2048kbps only
●Mult pl er mode
In this mode each bit received from Eurocom interface is transmitted 8,
4, or 2 by interface E1. In the direction from Eurocom interface to the E1
interface the degree of multiplication is determined automatically based
on measurement Eurocom interface received clock frequency. In the
opposite direction the equipment automatically recognized degree of
multiplication on E1 interface and retrieve the original binary stream on
Eurocom interface
●Mult plexer mode
For 2048kbps it works just like simple raw-data converter. For lessee
throughput, G.704 framing is generated on E1 interface and raw data
from Eurocom side are placed in predetermined timeslots (and vice-
versa). The byte integrity is not maintained (in the case of connecting
two E1 nodes through Eurocom link with throughput 256/512 or 1024
kbps).
2. How to set up
Connect the device to terminal through the serial interface. Set the
following parameters of the interface:
baud rate – 57600 bit/s
TE -KA EUROCOM B / E1 Mux converter www.tel-ka.com.pl
User Manual v.3.1 4. Apr. 2014 Page 6/13

character format – 8N2 (8 bit, 2 stop bits, no parity)
flow control – none
kind on terminal – ansi/VT100
As the terminal can be used PC with a serial interface and an appropriate
program such as Hyperterminal (under WindowsXP) or Putty (version 0.60
or higher). Then turn on the equipment and follow the instructions on the
screen. After about 10 second the device is ready to work with the last set
configuration.
3. Ma n menu
After power up the following screen appears:
The following options are available:
Check configuration – display current configuration
Check status – display current status
Set configuration – select this option to change current configuration
Set common parameters – set common parameters like P bandwidth
Load configuration from memory – use this option to restore previously
saved configuration
Save configuration to memory – use this option to write current
configuration to non-volatile memory. 64 different configuration identified
by name and number are possible.
Load default configuration – use this option to load one from fixed
configuration examples.
