3GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 6521 consists of a standard 6U, 19" rack frame containing a 6511
motherboard which is powered via dual redundant PSUs and software
controlled (via serial interface type RS422 or RS232). A number of additional
plug in modules are fitted which together form the switcher these are:-
2161 Crosspoint Module
2414 Local Control Module
1124 Power Supply Module
6521
ISS 3 DEC 97 Page 5 6521

4ROUTER DESCRIPTION
The switcher has a minimum of 16 inputs and 16 outputs expandable in
increments of 16 sources and/or 16 destinations.
Switching cards type 2161 house the RS422 crosspoints and local control
latches. The crosspoints are arranged in two blocks of 16 x 16, one block
providing the forward (source to destination) path and the other block forming
the reverse (destination to source) path. The cards also contain RS422
receivers to buffer balanced data into crosspoints and RS422 drivers to output
data from the crosspoints. The crosspoint control, source and destination
address lines are bussed across the 2161 cards to the local control card.
The switching cards contain local on board latches which suits them to a control
system using serial data distribution. This technique reduces non serial control
wiring to individual card handshakes which provide card presence and power
rail status. The remaining control signal bussing comprise serial source and
destination addresses. The local control card is a 6802 microprocessor based
card designed to control routing switchers. It provides for communication with
external microprocessor based control systems/panels. A battery powered
RAM prevents loss of crosspoint selection information in the event of a power
failure.

5INSTALLATION
WARNING: For safety reasons the system must not be operated until the
three earthing terminals have been connected correctly.
5.1 Mechanical
The switcher is housed in a 19", 6U high rack mounted frame. All modules plug
into the frame to allow easy access for servicing and are normally protected
behind a hinged front panel. The 6U high cards each have three DIN 41612C
plugs that connect into the motherboard which carries power, signal and control
wiring between cards. Input and output connections are made by ribbon cables
connected to rear plug shells of the motherboard's DIN 41612C connectors.
Extender board type 1336 can be used to gain access to the 6U cards.
5.2 Earthing
Three system earths wired in the frame are accessible on a three-way terminal
block mounted on the rear of the power supplies. The three earths are:
Mains Earth-wired to the earth pin of the mains input connector.
Signal Earth-wired to the system 0V supply and then to the signal cable
screens.
Chassis Earth-wired to the metalwork of the frame and cable connector
metalwork.
These three earths are left entirely separate within the switching system and
can be joined on the terminal block or wired to separate earthing points as
dictated by the nature of the installation.
5.3 ModulesConfirm the correct sub-modules are fitted and pushed fully home with
reference to the label inside the front panel. Check the mains voltage is set
correctly and that the retaining screws and washers are in place. Check the
setting of links on the control card is appropriate for the system.

ISS 3 DEC 97 Page 7 6521

5.4 Removal and Replacement Of Sub-Units
5.4.1 Cards Single card type modules may be removed and replaced with the system
powered or unpowered using card ejectors. When replacing cards, care should
be taken to push them fully home. All cards will work on the 1336 extender
board.
5.4.2 PSUsModule type 1124, a mains powered switch mode power supply, housed within
the frame provides +5V for the switcher cards and control card. It may be
supplied configured for 110 Vac or 220/240 Vac, selected by a link internal to
the PSU.
A 'power on' LED is housed on the power supply front panel in addition to a
socket at the rear which allows external monitoring of both power supply
modules.
Outputs of the 1124 power supply are via diodes, allowing the inclusion of a
second power supply within the frame to provide back up power.
5.4.3 Sub-Assemblies
Sub-assemblies are secured at the rear of the frame by screws and care should
be taken during removal and replacement to support the boards and not to
stress leads. Remove cable connections from the motherboard by holding the
connector shell, not pulling the wires.
5.5 Installation Note
On this unit all 'destination' connectors must be wired to the controller
equipment, and all 'source' to the tributary equipment. The pinouts of these
connectors are such that for direct point-to-point connection between the router
and other equipment a pin to pin cable may be used (e.g. IDC ribbon).
