1.2.1. T1/E1 Ports
The T1/E1 ports are 8-pin modular jacks with standard RJ-48 pinouts as shown in
Figure 5 and Table 1 below. Transport mode is software configurable to support
zero to four T1 channels or zero to four E1 channels (with the remainder of the
capacity allocated to Ethernet transport). Lines are matched to 100 ohm in T1
mode and 120 ohm in E1 mode. “RX” refers to input into IDU T1/E1 port; “TX”
refers to output from the IDU. 75 ohm E1 configurations are also available. Contact
factory for details.

1.2.2. Ethernet Ports
1.2.2.1. Ethernet User Ports
The two Ethernet user ports (Ethernet ports 1 and 3) provide 10/100BaseT
interfaces with standard RJ-45 pinouts. When the IDU is properly configured, the
IDU provides transport of Ethernet frames ingressed at these ports over the link to
the far side radio. An internal Ethernet switch also provides layer 2 switching
functions between these two ports and the far side terminal. The Ethernet PHYs
provide MDI/MDIX cross-connect with auto-detect, so both straight-thru and cross
cables are accommodated to any other 10/100 Base-T interface. Ethernet transport
is configurable to up to 170 Mbps. 2
1.2.2.2. Ethernet Management Ports
The two Ethernet management ports (Management port 0 and 2) provide
10/100BaseT interfaces to the IDU with standard RJ-45 pinouts. These ports allow
management access to the IDU’s internal CPU. An internal Ethernet switch also
provides layer 2 switching functions between these two ports and the far side
terminal. The Ethernet PHYs provide MDI/MDIX cross-connect with auto-detect, so
both straight-thru and cross cables are accommodated to any other 10/100 Base-T
interface.

1.2.6. DC Power
DC Power is provided to the terminal (IDU and DU) via a three terminal
connector. The IDU accommodates -21 to -60 VDC. (Positive polarity versions are
available. Contact factory for more information.) For proper operation, connect DC
power interface to external power supply as follows:
• Connect negative terminal of external supply to “-V” terminal
• Connect positive terminal of external supply to “+V” terminal
• Connect positive terminal of external supply to “GND” terminal
Two fuses are accessible from the front panel. ne fuse (labeled “+V” in Figure 3)
provides short circuit protection when the IDU is configured for positive voltage
operation; the second fuse (“-V”) provides short circuit protection when configured
for negative voltage operation. In both cases, the fuse protects both the IDU and
the DU. The fuse holders accommodate standard 5 x 20 mm fuses. The IDU
units are delivered with 7A fast-acting fuses installed.

1.3.7. DC Power
DC Power is provided to the terminal (IDU and DU) via a two terminal connector.
The IDU accommodates -21 to -60 VDC. (Positive polarity versions are available.
Contact factory for more information.) For proper operation, connect DC power
interface to external power supply as follows:
• Connect negative terminal of external supply to “-V” terminal
• Connect positive terminal of external supply to “+V” terminal

• Receive modulated IF signal (from DU) at center frequency 140 MHz with
input IF power between -7 dBm and -25 dBm
• K DU command signal at 5.5 MHz center frequency
• K DU telemetry signal at 10 MHz center frequency

Cirius LM User Manual 2016 Page 20
2. Terminal Management Interfaces
The IDU supports management over a TCP/IP network via a web GUI interface,
telnet, or SNMP. Network Settings must first be properly configured by means of
the System/Network Settings page described in Section 2.1.13.2. nce a link is
established between two terminals, both terminals may be managed over TCP/IP
from one side of the link, provided that the Modem Configuration (discussed in
Section 2.1.4) includes allocation of Ethernet capacity over the link.
The primary means of terminal management should be by way of a combination
of the web GUI and SNMP, so this manual emphasizes those two interfaces.
Note that all IDUs are shipped from the factory with default IP address
192.168.70.100. The IP address of the IDU – along with other network settings can
be modified from the Network Settings GUI page (see Section 2.1.13.2).
2.1. Web GUI Interface
The IDU includes an HTTP server, supports full management via a web GUI
interface. The IDU web GUI is compatible with Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Firefox. To access the IDU, start a browser window, and enter the IDU’s IP
address in the URL window. If the IP address for the terminal is unknown, it can be
determined by accessing the serial console port as described in Section 2.3.
Note: Although the IDU supports multiple browser sessions, it is strongly
recommended that the maximum number of simultaneous browser sessions
be limited to two. Greater numbers can result in sluggish response times under
some conditions.
2.1.1. Login Page
Upon connecting to the IDU via a web browser, the user is presented with the IDU
Management Interface login page as shown in Figure 11. Three levels of user
authentication are currently supported as defined in Table 11.
