Chapter 1
Introduction
The Raymar-Telenetics RMX is a 2-slot 1U modem rack chassis. It measures 17 inches wide by
1.75 inches high and 8.5 inches deep, and mounts in a standard
19- or 23-inch rack.
The RMX comes in AC and DC configurations with optional redundant power. This guide covers both
versions.
Overview
The Raymar-Telenetics RMX has slots that accept two of the following:
Modems
Digital Data Service (DDS) units
All of these devices are plug-in printed circuit (PC) cards that slide into the front of the RMX. The
cards can be mixed in any way within the RMX. Each card has been independently tested and meets
Part 68, FCC rules and regulations.
Power, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), and communication-line connections are made at the back
panel of the RMX. This allows PC cards to be installed or replaced, without disturbing the cable
connections at the back of the enclosure.

Back Panel Interface Connectors
All DTE, Telco and power connections are made at the back panel of the RMX.
The DTE connectors are:
Individual 25-pin connectors one for each PC card (standard)
The Telco connectors are:
Individual 8-pin modular jacks one or two for each PC card (standard)
Telephone Line Interfaces
The RMX is FCC certified for connection to the dial-up Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
The following sections describe the standard and optional ways for connecting to the
communications line.
Modular Jack Connectors
The standard RMX back panel has an 8-pin modular jack for each modem. These jacks provide the
interface for connecting individual modems to the telephone line. Each 8-pin jack has contacts that
are used in various combinations depending on the type of service installed. Leased-line modems,
by comparison, have four contacts: a transmit pair and a receive pair.
For a description of the modular jack functions, refer to appendix B.

Chapter 2
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the RMX.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment
Unpack the equipment and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred in shipment. If you see
any damage or if items are missing, contact Raymar-Telenetics. Keep the shipping container and
packing material for future shipment.
Site Preparation
When selecting a location to install the RMX, choose a site that:
Is clean, well lit, and free from extremes of temperature, humidity, appreciable shock, and
vibration.
Is within seven feet of a power source that can furnish 90-265VAC/DC or 24-53VDC at 3.5 amps.
Is within 50 feet of the associated data terminal.
Provides at least 36 inches of clearance at the front for operating and maintenance accessibility.
Provides at least 4 inches at the back of the enclosure for interface cable clearance and
unobstructed airflow.
Side and top clearances for rack-mounted equipment are dictated by the rack-cabinet provisions,
but should allow a free flow of cooling air.

Installation Procedures
Service personnel should be familiar with the complete installation procedure before installing the
RMX.
Required Tools and Equipment
Special tools or test equipment are not required for installation.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to enclosure components from overheating, ensure clearances of 1
¾-inch top and bottom between mounted enclosures. Make adequate provision for cool air circulation
and exhaust of warm air, and an adequate CFM exhaust fan in the top panel of the Data Rack.
Mechanical Assembly
The RMX mounts into a standard 19-inch cabinet and requires 2 inches of vertical panel space.

Chapter 3
Operation
The RMX accepts leased line, PSTN, and DDS-type modems. Leased-line modems operate on
conditioned or unconditioned leased lines. PSTN-type modems operate on the dial-up network and
have features that allow establishment of dial-up circuits and data transfer. Some modems can
operate on either leased lines or PSTN.
Modems designed for use in the RMX have a standardized interface (EIA-232C) that provides for
orderly calling, answering, and data modes. Many of the modems also have automatic dialing and
answering capabilities.
Test Modes
Each plug-in modem card has a switch or switches that provide for modem testing. Test features are
described in the manual for the modem.
Front Panel Indicators
Two LEDS’s on the front of the chassis represent the power supply status.
Most modems have LED’s mounted on the front edge of the card to indicate the status of various
EIA-232 interface functions. The LED’s are described in the manual for the modem.
Some PC cards have a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for observing modem status or selecting options
using pushbuttons on the modem front panel. The LCD functions are explained in the manual for the
modem.

Maintenance
This appendix provides maintenance information for PC cards and power modules.
PC Cards
If a PC card becomes inoperative, replace it. Field repair is not recommended. Contact Raymar-
Telenetics for instructions on repairs and replacement (see “Contact Information” on page 12).
When swapping out PC cards, you do not have to turn off system power. This allows PC cards to be
changed while allowing all other PC cards to continue operation.
Power Module
The power modules have no serviceable components. Field repair is not recommended. Contact
Raymar-Telenetics for instructions on replacement.
