Compliance Information
Radio
and TV
Interference
The Model 3096RC generates and uses radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly—that is,
in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions—may cause interference to radio and television
reception. The Model 3096RC has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to pro-
vide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Model 3096RC causes interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by disconnecting the cables, try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures: moving the computing equipment away from the receiver, re-orienting
the receiving antenna, and/or plugging the receiving equipment into a different AC outlet (such that the com-
puting equipment and receiver are on different branches).
Interference can also be reduced by installing an optional clamp-on ferrite (Patton P/N 0816-13) on the DSL
cable, within 12 inches (30 cm) of the DSL connector (see figure 1)

Model 3096RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 1 • Introduction
Model 3096RC G.SHDSL T-DAC overview
The Model 3096RC (see figure 2) provides 16 G.SHDSL subscriber ports and 4, 8, 12, or 16 T1/E1 WAN
uplink ports. A built-in digital cross-connect switch provides completely flexible grooming: the capability to
connect any DS0-channel to any other DS0-channel from the WAN uplink ports or the G.SHDSL ports. The
T-DAC combines a time-slot multiplexer and a centralized web-based management system on a front and rear
blade for insertion in a rack with a CPCI mid-plane architecture. The front blade contains LED status indica-
tors, an RS-232 configuration port and a 10/100 Ethernet management port. The rear blade contains the
G.SHDSL modem connections and WAN port connections. The 16 G.SHDSL subscriber ports connect to
compatible customer premise equipment modems for data rates up to 4.6 Mbps service over a single pair. The
WAN links accept channelized T1 or E1 network connections.
Each G.SHDSL port requires only a single twisted pair (2-wires) for full-duplex data transmission at ranges in
excess of 9 km (24 AWG). TC-PAM line encoding ensures spectral compatibility within existing voice/data
bundles. Each WAN port terminates T1/E1 with flexible any-to-any DS0 mapping. The entire system can be
managed in-band (via T1/E1 Frame Relay/PPP links) or out-of-band from a web browser by means of
SNMP/HTTP-based management screens.
The Model 3096RC connects 16 G.SHDSL remote NTUs or modems at data-rates up to 4.6 Mbps to digital
(ATM/FR/DDN/IP) networks, thus permitting multi-service access to CLECs, ISPs, and PTTs.

Hardware overview 18
Model 3096RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 1 • Introduction
Hardware overview
The Model 3096RC combines transmission and networking technology concentrating 16 G.SHDSL ports
and 4 to 16 T1/E1 WAN links into a single slot blade for a standard CPCI chassis. The T-DAC front blade (see
figure 3) contains a full set of LED status indicators presented on the front panel, and an RS-232 async control
port. The rear blade presents electrical connections for the G.SHDSL modems and WAN ports as well as an
alarm LED.
Figure 3. Model 3096RC T-DAC features
WAN
The 3096RC includes four, eight, twelve, or sixteen WAN uplink ports selectable for T1 or E1 operation. The
WAN uplink ports may be connected to ATM/FR/DDN/ IP network backbones and are accessible via the 68-
pin SCSI connector. Also included are:
•Four to sixteen built-in T1/E1 CSU/DSUs
•T1 1.544 Mbps with D4 or ESF framing, AMI or B8ZS line coding, FCC part 68 compliant
•E1 2.048 Mbps multi-framing with or without CRC4 framing, AMI/HDB3 line coding, CTR-12, and
CTR-13 compliant
•Built-in fuses and surge protectors

Hardware overview 19
Model 3096RC T-DAC Getting Started Guide 1 • Introduction
LAN
The 10/100-Mbps Ethernet LAN port is presented on an RJ-45 connector with an auto-sensing/full-duplex
10Base-T or 100Base-T interface. Also included are:
•100Base-TX half-/full-duplex operation (100 + 100)
•10Base-T half-/full-duplex operation (10 + 10)
•Auto detection and fallback
•10/100 Mbps link and status indicators
RS-232 control port
The RS-232 port provides for initial configuration of the Model 3096RC. The RS-232 port supports:
•Asynchronous data rates of 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
•An RJ-45 connector with EIA-561 pinouts
•A management interface that supports VT-100 terminals
•Hardware flow control (RTS and CTS)
Power system
The 3096RC obtains power from the CPCI chassis via PCMG 2.11 47-pin power connectors on the front and
rear blade. Total power consumption is a maximum of 43 Watts, provided by modular power supplies installed
in the CPCI chassis.
Central processing unit
The 3096RC employs an Intel i960VH RISC processor operating at 100 MHz/100 Mips. The CPU controls
the memory, front/back-panel and management interface for G.SHDSL port/WAN time slot mapping, local
switching, loopback and the management system. The memory holds:
•4 MB Flash ROM
•8 MB EDO DRAM
G.SHDSL ports
The 16 G.SHDSL ports operate at data-rates up to 4.6 Mbps and are accessible via the RJ-21X 50-pin Telco
connector. Each port uses one twisted-pair (2-wires) for full-duplex communication. The G.SHDSL ports can
be concentrated into TDM data output on the WAN ports. Other features include:
•Line encoding defined by G.SHDSL
•“Plug-and-Play” automatic configuration between the multiplexer and the CPE modems
•Built-in surge protection
•Configuration parameters and line status indicators accessible to upper-level utility or application software
System timing
The G.SHDSL T-DAC's system timing may be derived from an internal clock from an on-board chip, a CPE
G.SHDSL modem, a network clock from one of the T1/E1 WAN ports, or an external 64-kHz BITS (building
integrated timing supply) reference clock.
