HLP 4200 Instruction Manual
Harmonic Llghrwaves
1.0 General Information
This section gives general information about this manual,
some suggestedapplications for the product,a description
of the product,and a list of the product's specifications.
1.1 Aboutthis Manual
This instruction manual is a complete guide to installing
and operatingthe HLP4200 Platform. It includesproduct
diagrams and instructions for installing the Platform and
connectingcables. Please read the entire document before
beginning installation
or operation.
1.2 ProductApplication
The HLP 4200 Platform is used with a number of plug-in
modules such as the PWRLinkrMseries of 1310
nm laser
transmitters, the MAXLinkTMseries of1510 nm laser
transmitters and optical amplifiers
, as well as the HRM
38
10 receiver, the QAM modulator, and optical switches.
The HLP4200 Platform is designed to meet theeconomic
and technical requirements of broadband service provid-
ers. The modular design of the product offers the user a
number of advantages:
The flexibility to add other plug-in modules as
industry requirements change, without the need to
replaceequipment shelves, power supplies
or status
monitoringequipment.
The economicadvantage of maintainingspareplug-
in modulesrather than entire subsystems.
*Reducednetworkdowntime becauseof plug-inmod-
ule replacements.
1.3 Product Description
The HLP 4200 is a rack mount platform, 3 rack units in
height,designedto be fittedtoa 19inch EIA standard rack
flange. It will accommodatesixof Harmonic Lightwaves'
standard 2.6 inch wide plug-in modules. A typical con-
figuration would contain one
or two CPS 4200 Power
Supply modules, as well as other Harmonic Lightwaves
modules. The main functions
of the HLP 4200 areshown
in Figure
1.
The HLP4200 can beordered withouta front display and
control panel when local control and monitoring isnot
required(modelHLP4200ND). Withtheexceptionof the
displayandcontrolbuttons,
all otherfeaturesare included.
Controlling and monitoring ofthePower Supply and
modules is accomplishedby the following means:
Local control and monitoring using the momentary
push buttonsand fortycharacterdisplayon thefront
panel of the Platform.
(On units with display).
Local control and monitoring via the RS-232 host
using a personalcomputer equippedwith Harmonic
LightwavesNETWatch Element Management soft-
ware.
Remote control andmonitoring by meansof the RS-
485interfacewithotherHarmonicLightwavesprod-
ucts such as the HTR 2000D Transceiver.
The forty character display
on the Platform front panel
provides the following:
Name and slot position of each module contained
within the Platform.
NETWatch address setting.
Diagnostic menus for each module in the Platform.

Harmonic Lightwaves HLP 4200InstructionManual
2.0 Installing the HLP 4200
Platform
The following sections provide the information neces-
sary to install the HLP 4200. Please read
all the instruc-
tions before beginning installation.
2.1ReceivingandInspection
As you unpack your unit, inspect the shipping container
and equipmentfordamage. Save the shippingmaterialfor
future use.
If the container or
the equipment is damaged, notify both
the freight carrier and Harmonic Lightwaves (800/730-
4099).
To protectthe operatorfrom potentialinjury,and to
protectthe equipmentfromfurtherdamage,donotperform
any operational tests.
2.2 Mountingthe Unit in theRack
The HLP 4200 occupies three rack unit spaces in an EIA
standard 19 inch rack. To mount the unitin the rack:
1.Mark the exact position
in the rack where
you want
to install the unit.
2. Prepare the four mounting screws and #2
Phillips screwdriver.
3. Position the unit
in the rack, align the holes
in the mounting brackets with thethreaded
holes
in the rack upright, and secure the four
mounting screws through the chassis ears.
2.3PowerRequirements
The HLP 4200 accepts power supply modules that
generate 24 VDC for the internal bus.
For standard 100-
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz input the CPS 4200 module is
used.
It is possible to power the HLP 4200 platform with the
CPS 4000 power supply. However,the CPS 4000 may
not provide sufficient current to drive the newest
modules available from Harmonic Lightwaves. Please
consult a Harmonicrepresentative before using
a CPS
4000 supply in an HLP 4200 platform.
The
unit can have backup power by an external 24 VDC
source. This input is only protected by
a fuse, and it is
the customer’s responsibility to keep this voltage below
+ 28 V and havesurge and spike protection, otherwise
the plug-in units may be damaged.
2.3.1 Connecting an External 24 VDC Power
Source
Connect the external 24 VDC power source to the
barrier strip connector located on the rear of the HLP
4200 according to Figure 4. Switch the external supply
off prior to makingthe connection and observe the
correct polarity. Use number 14
AWG wire. Refer to
Figure 4.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and equipment
damage, switch off power from the DC source
prior
to installation. Never handle “live”
wiring.
2.3.2 DC FuseReplacement
The HLP 4200 uses one fuse at the 24 VDC input to
protect the external power supply. To replace the fuse,
turn offthe power source and use
a flat blade screw-
driver to release the screws that fasten the fuse panel
assembly
to the Platform. Remove fuse panel assembly
and replace with
a fuse of the same type and rating;
specifically, 125V, 15
A, 5 x 20 mm, FAST.
2.4InstallingtheRS-485, RS 232 andAlarm
Cables
2.4.1 RS-232CableInstallation
The RS-232 serial port interfaces between the
NETWatch Element Management System computer and
the HLP4200 Platform. To install the RS-232 cable,
connect
a 9 pin cable from COM PORT 1 on the
NETWatch computer to the RS-232 serial port on the
Platformrear panel. Refer to Figure 4 for location.
The cable should be less than
50 feet long. It the
NETWatch computer is located more than
50 feet from
the transceiver, use
a line extender.
2.4.2RS-485CableInstallation
The RS-485 ports on the Platform are used for connect-
ing tothe NETWatch Element Management System.
Connect the
W11 cable from the RS-485 OUT port on
the transceiver to theRS-485 IN port
of any Harmonic
Lightwavesproduct that supports the RS-485 interface.
You can connect other units in
a series by using the RS -
485 IN and OUT ports located on all Harmonic
Lightwavesequipment. Refer
to Figure 4.
6

HLP 4200Instruction Manual Harmonic Lightwaves
In some cases the RJ11 connectors on the cables are
aligned differently. When this happens,
“OUT” and
“IN” must beexchanged
so that “OUT” connects to
‘‘OUT’’ and “IN’connects to “IN’.
The most effective way to daisy chain systems properly
is to connect them one by one. If
a system does not
communicate, and it is verified that theaddress and
connections are correct, try to connect the incoming
cable to the
“OUT” connector. If this works, connect
the next unit from the “IN’ connector and test it the
same way.
2.4.3External Alarm
External alarm equipment can be connected to the HLP
4200. The pin out from the “ALARM” connector
is
shown in Figure 4.
The
alarm pin out is as follows:
PIN NO.

Ground
The
alarm and relays are derived as follows:
a) Each module reports its existence in the HLP
4200 Platform by grounding the slot location
pin (Pins
5, 18, 6, 13, 7, 20).
b) During an alarm condition, the module
grounds its own alarm pin (Pins
23, 11,24,
12,25, 13).
c) The composite alarmis pulled to ground
potential, and triggered by any one of the
modules reporting an alarm.
d) Alarm relays are provided with normally
open, normally closed contacts.
2.4.4ControllerCable
Connectthe controller cable (supplied in the accesso-
ries) to the
CPS 4200 ControllerPower Supply as shown
in Figure 4.

3.0 Operation
Follow these steps to verify thatthe HLP 4200 Platform is
operating properly:
1. Install the power supply module (CPS 4200
for example). See the power supply
instruction manual for detailed instructions.
2. Press the power button
on the power supply.
3. The display will show “SYSTEM READY.”
4. Press any key on the front panel and the display
will show “MODULE SELECTION.”
5. The NETWatch address cannowbe set.
Press the UpDown arrow key once. The

return to the“MODULE SELECTION’ menu
and press “ENTER.” The display will show
which modules are plugged into the shelf.
For example, the display will show
“POSITION
1: CPS4200 P. SUPPLYBUS
MASTER”
Such
a display would mean that a CPS 4200
power supply occupies slot
1. The bus master
indicates that the controller circuitry of this
(slot
1) power supply is controlling the
Platform.
If other modules are installed the
user can use theUpDown Arrow keys to
scroll through the module list.
For additional
informationon
a particular module,press the
“ENTER” key to display
a module diagnostic
menu. Refer to the instruction manual that
came with the module for
a detailed descrip-
tion of each menu. Note that an alarmed
module will always display first in the
“MODULE SELECTION” sub-menu.Figure 5
shows the entire HLP 4200 menu.
To set the address number hold down the
