CHAPTER
1Getting started
This chapter tells you how to prepare for installation of the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU.
Topics include:
■Selecting an appropriate installation site
■Unpacking the shipping cartons and inspecting their contents to ensure there is no
shipment damage
■Reviewing the front and back panels, and their controls, connectors, and indicators
After reading this chapter, you will be ready to install the unit as described in Chapter 2.

10 Chapter 1: Getting started
Select an appropriate site
The installation site for the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU must meet certain requirements for
power and grounding, ambient temperature and humidity control, physical space, and
electrostatic protection. The site should be clean and free from extremes of temperature,
humidity, shock, and vibration.
Power The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU operates from AC or DC power, depending on the type of
power supply you ordered with the unit. Make sure that your installation site provides an
appropriate power source for your power supply. The power requirements are listed below.
CAUTION!
Damage to IDSU components may occur if the input voltage applied to the IDSU
is not within the specified range.
AC power
One AC power supply is available for both North American and European ratings. It
accepts nominal input voltages of 120 VAC, 60 Hz (North American standard) or 240
VAC, 50 Hz (for other site locations). The maximum operating range is 85 to 265 VAC, 47
to 63 Hz, 0.35 A.
When using an AC supply, the AC branch circuit receptacle should be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible. Do not attach the power supply cord to
building surfaces.
DC power
One DC power supply is available. It accepts nominal input voltages of 48 VDC. The
maximum operating range is 36 to 75 VDC, 0.6 A.
Power consumption
The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU power consumption is 24 W nominal, 30 W maximum for
AC power; 22W nominal, 25 W maximum for DC power.
Grounding The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU enclosure is grounded through its power supply connector.
The AC power supply is designed to connect to a power source that has a protective-
ground contact. It is grounded through a grounding conductor in its power cord. The DC
supply is grounded by attaching frame ground to the ground terminal on the supply.
Environmental
ranges The work area you select for the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU must fall within certain
environmental limits.
■Temperature: 0oC to 50oC, nominal, operating; -20oC to 66oC, non-operating
■Humidity: 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing

Select an appropriate site 11
ESD precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is potentially damaging to circuitry within the DataSMART
T3/E3 IDSU. Set up the work area to limit the effects of ESD. We recommend that you
wear a ground strap when handling the components and that you employ antistatic
mats within the work area.
Space requirements The physical dimensions of the IDSU enclosure are shown below. Clearance of at least
1in. (25 mm) is required on either side of the unit for cooling, and clearance of 4 in.
(102 mm) is required at the rear of the unit for cable installation.
CAUTION!
Damage to the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU may occur if appropriate clearances
around the enclosure are not provided for cooling.

12 Chapter 1: Getting started
Unpack your shipment
Once you’ve selected the installation site, unpack the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU ship-
ment. Inspect the shipment carefully to ensure that there is no shipment damage.
Start by inspecting the shipping cartons for shipment damage. If there is evidence of
shipment damage to the cartons, notify the shipping carrier and call your Kentrox
Customer Service representative as described under “Who to call for assistance” on page 7.
If the cartons show no damage, unpack the shipment.
Keep all packing material in case you need to move or ship the unit in the future.

CHAPTER
2Preparing the hardware
for installation
To initially access the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU user interface, you will need to connect a
control device to the IDSU control port. Two control ports are provided, a DCE port for
connecting a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software), and a DTE port for
connecting a terminal or PC via a modem.
To use either port, your control device and the IDSU must be set to the same baud rate,
parity, data and stop bits. The IDSU comes from the factory set as follows:
Baud = 9600
Parity = None
Data-bits-per-character = 8
Stop-bits-per-character = 1
You can set your terminal to match the IDSU, or set the IDSU to match your terminal.
This chapter shows you how to change the IDSU settings.

16 Chapter 2: Preparing the hardware for installation
Resetting the IDSU terminal parameters
You can change the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU default settings for baud rate, parity, and
data and stop bits by using the DIP switch located on the IDSU circuit board. To access
this board, you need to remove the IDSU side panel as shown in Figure 4.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the IDSU side panel while the unit is receiving power.
CAUTION!
The IDSU circuit board is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take
appropriate precautions when removing the side panel and setting the DIP switch.
Remove the side
panel To remove the IDSU side panel:
1Remove the two screws holding the side-panel in place. Use a standard #2
Phillips screwdriver.
2Lift the panel up slightly, then pull it straight out.

18 Chapter 2: Preparing the hardware for installation
Enabling/disabling alarms via the internal DIP switch
In addition to the terminal settings, the IDSU internal DIP switch allows you to enable or
disable alarm messages out the control port. Switch 7 enables or disables alarm messages.
Switch 8 specifies whether, if alarms are enabled, they are output via the DCE control port
or via the DTE control port.
To access the DIP switch, see instructions for removing the side panel on page 16.
Enabling/disabling
alarm messages If you enable alarm messages they are output via the specified control port. If you disable
them, alarms are recorded in the Alarm History report, but they are not output as mes-
sages. The setting of this switch has no effect on SNMP trap output.
This switch can be overridden by the EAM/DAM commands. See your user’s guide.
Specifying the alarm
output control port If you are using a terminal connected to the DCE port, you normally want alarms output to
that port. The only time you might want alarms sent to the DTE port is when you are using
a modem connected to DTE or when you are using alarm dial-out. Alarm dial-out requires
that alarms be sent to DTE. For example, you might want the alarm dial-out to go an exter-
nal alarm device connected via the DTE port instead of to a terminal connected to DCE.
If you are using daisy-chaining, alarms must go to the same control port as the one being
used by the control device, terminal or modem. Alarm dial-out is disabled during
daisy-chaining.
This switch can be overridden by the DCE/DTE commands. See your user’s guide.

CHAPTER
3Initial installation and
power up
This chapter tells you how to install and power up the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU unit. It
assumes that all internal DIP switches have been set, and that the unit’s side panel is
in place.
Topics included here:
■Installing the unit on a desktop or in a standard 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack
■Powering up the unit
■Verifying power-up via the self-test diagnostics
After reading this chapter, you will be ready to cable the network interface, data port, and
control port as described in Chapter 4.

20 Chapter 3: Initial installation and power up
Install the chassis
You can install the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU as a stand-alone unit on a desktop or you
can mount it in a standard equipment rack.
Clearance
requirements The clearance requirements for the IDSU enclosure are shown below. Clearance of at least
1 in. (25 mm) is required on either side of the unit for cooling, and clearance of 4 in.
(102 mm) is required at the rear of the unit for cable installation. The chassis has a fan
exhaust vent in its left-side panel and an air intake vent in its right-side panel.
CAUTION!
Damage to the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU and its components may occur if
appropriate clearances around the enclosure are not provided for cooling.
Figure 5—DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU clearance requirements
