Cautions and Warnings
Electrostatic Discharge Caution
CAUTION: Kentrox equipment and its peripherals contain electrostatic sensitive
components. Proper handling, shipping, and storage precautions must
be exercised:
You must remove and install cards in a static-free environment. Wear
an antistatic wrist strap that is plugged into the Kentrox equipment so
you are grounded at the same point as the equipment.
Do not remove cards from their antistatic plastic bags until you are
ready to install them into the chassis.
Immediately after you remove a card from the chassis, you must
insert it into its antistatic bag.
When the cards are not in use, keep them in their antistatic plastic
bags.
Do not ship or store cards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,
or radioactive fields.
Ground Caution
CAUTION: For Kentrox equipment to operate safely and correctly, there must be a
safety ground strap between the equipment ground bolts and the office
ground.
FCC Warning
The Federal Communications Commission has set limits for emitted radio
interference, and Remote RMX-3200 is constructed with this electromagnetic
interference (EMI) limitation in mind. Remote RMX-3200 is classified under FCC
regulations as a Class A device, that is, a device for use in commercial environments
and not in residential areas. This device has been tested and shown to comply with
the following FCC rule: Part 15 Subpart J. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area may cause interference to radio and TV reception, requiring the user to take
whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Information is available from the FCC describing possible corrective actions. To
maintain low EMI levels, we suggest that you use only metal connectors and shielded
cable grounded to the frame.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Remote Product Overview
The Kentrox®Remote suite of products includes Remote RMX-3200, Remote RMM-
1400 and Remote RMX-3200. The Remote suite of products includes several models
that provide various features and a number of peripheral units that provide additional
functionality. In general, the Remote products are monitoring and control devices that
provide IP management connectivity to remote sites, including environmentally
hardened locations.
An integral part of the Kentrox Optima Management System®, the Remote products
reside at your network’s remote locations and connect to each element via a wide
variety of interface options. The Remote products perform protocol mediation and
interface conversion, collect alarms and monitoring data, and support bi-directional
management control with the Optima Management Portal via Ethernet, T1/E1, or
wireless communication options. Together, Remote and the Optima Management
Portal provide detailed monitoring, remote control and management for virtually all
remote site devices. Figure 1-1 depicts the Remote and Optima Management Portal
functionality.

Remote RMX-3200 Hardware Configuration
Figure 1-2 shows the Remote RMX-3200 base unit, which consists of the following
connectors and counts:
8 Ethernet ports provide for connections into your network. Ports 1 and 2 can be
used as standard ports and can also provide 48V PoE to 802.3af-compliant
devices.
8 serial ports provide connectivity to any asynchronous device and can be used
as part of the Telnet to asynchronous protocol mediation application.
64 discrete ports, 12 analog inputs and 4 control outputs.
A console port provides local asynchronous access for configuration and
diagnostics from a laptop or PC.
Figure 1-2 Remote RMX-3200 Base Unit
Expansion Slot
Remote RMX-3200 has no built-in WAN interfaces, but has a modular expansion slot
for any one of the following RME-1000 or WAN peripherals.
RME-1000 Peripherals
RME-S8 peripheral provides eight asynchronous serial ports
RME-B64 peripheral provides 80 I/O ports
RME-E8 peripheral provides eight Ethernet ports

Note: Remote RMX-3200 can also be expanded with additional RME-1000 units,
which contain any of the individual RME-1000 peripherals. See RME-1000
