Safety Instructions
WARNING: THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY
This unit generates hazardous voltages.
There are no user-serviceable parts.
Do not obstruct the fan or the inlets during operation or the unit may overheat.In the event
of failure, the unit should only be repaired by qualified personnel or returned to the factory.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED BY THE HOST
This equipment relies on the GROUND connection provided by the M4 stud on the rear
panel. This terminal must be permanently connected to an earth to ensure safe operation, so
that the user and telecom network are adequately protected. Operation without this
connection will nullify its safety approval for connection to a network.
WARNING: ESD PRECAUTIONS AND STATIC SENSITIVE CARD HANDLING
Vocality observe the general requirements of BS EN 61340-5-1 (2001) in all matters relating
to the handling and storage of Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDs) and assemblies. We
recommend strict observance of this standard during the installation of all options cards.
All cards should be handled in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) using approved materials (wrist
straps, bonding cords etc) from recognised suppliers. All cards contain at least one ESD and
all subassemblies containing PCBs should be handled in the same way. Products are designed
with protection components on external and internal connectors where appropriate. User
Manuals, Applications Notes and Modification Instructions contain warnings where ESDs may
become exposed.
The packaging of Vocality products is classified as secondary, for physical protection only.
ESDs should always be protected by primary packaging, when moving from EPA to EPA, or to
field sites. Equipment containing ESDs in primary packaging (for example the metal
enclosure) are moved using secondary packaging for mechanical protection. Within an EPA,
cards should be stored in their primary packaging in electrostatic dissipative bags.

WARNING: INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT
Any SELV 10/100base-T network plugs used - which could accidentally be plugged into the
telephone ports - must have their key tabs removed such that they can only be removed
using a special tool. This equipment must therefore only be professionally installed by
suitably trained service personnel.
This equipment allows connection only of suitably approved equipment to its ports, the
safety status of which is defined below.
SELV Ports:
Supervisor/Alarm port, DB15HD Data ports, VHDCI Data ports, 10/100/1000base-T Ethernet
Ports, Alarm port, Four Wire E&M Radio Relay ports and Digital Voice ports
The above named ports are classified as SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in accordance with
EN60950-1:2006, and must only be connected to equipment which similarly complies with
the SELV safety classification.
TNV2 Ports:
FXO module voice ports (connect only to PBX extension ports which provide isolation from
TNV3 voltages)
FXS module voice ports (connect only to telephones )
The above named ports, classified as TNV2 (Telecom Network Voltage Type 2) in accordance
with
EN60950-1:2006, must only be connected to circuits complying with the requirements
therein.
The unit complies with EMC emissions standards BS EN 61000-6-3:2001 and immunity
standards
BS EN 61000-6-1:2001 and BS EN 61000-6-2:2005 . In order to meet the requirements of
these standards, the card must be operated with screened link, channel and supervisor
cables. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance.

2 Functionality
The V200 unit presents the following inputs and outputs:

Refer to the Pin Assignments appendix for details of the individual connectors.
2.1 What it does
Your V200 is a powerful systems multiplexer which adds density, scalability, and
redundancy to the portfolio of Vocality products. It is not only conceived as a flagship
unit that will support legacy V100/V50 networks but more strategically as a unit that will
reliably perform as the hub of a mission-critical network. The 3U rackmount enclosure
provides 10 bays which provide significant expansion and greater connectivity than any
of its predecessors. The high–speed backplane provides the performance required from

Vocality User Manual

Page 8 of 114
such a multiplexer and adds scalability through a distributed processing architecture.
The 10 bays can be used to house up to two power supplies and any combination of
CPU and line cards.
The flexible design allows duplicate PSU, CPU and line cards to be installed in redundant
configurations such that the second card may act as a hot standby for the first in the
event of failure. The V200 also provides hot-swap capabilities such that line cards can
be added or older cards to be replaced without affecting the networks connected to the
cards in the remaining bays. When a card is replaced with another of the same type, the
configuration information is retained.
Cards are plugged in from the rear of the unit, and the status of the card in each bay is
monitored via LEDs on the front of the chassis. The cards may be monitored in detail via
the M&C port connected to a PC running a terminal emulation package such as
HyperTerminal under Windows™. The management interface may also be accessed via
the Telnet protocol in an IP network.
Performance standards have been dramatically raised in the V200 such that all Ethernet
ports are triple-speed Gigabit compliant with auto-MDIX capability and standard serial
data ports now operate at up to 10Mbps. Despite this, legacy support is still maintained
for very low data rates in older networks.
2.2 Capabilities
2.2.1 Option Cards
There are a wide range of option cards available for the V200:
High Speed CPU Card
Power Supply Card
Standard CPU Card
FXS Analogue Voice Card
FXO Analogue Voice Card
Radio Relay E&M Four Wire Card
Ethernet Switch Card
ISDN BRI Card
Serial Data Card
Digital Voice + Dual Digital Voice Card
A few of these are described below:
2.2.1.1 PSU Card
The wide-ranging AC power supply card has an IEC mains input, a fuse, and an integral
fan. Each card can supply sufficient power for a fully loaded chassis. When two power
supplies are installed, the card which powers up first supplies all the power to the
chassis while the second power supply provides none. If the first power supply fails, it is
instantly shut down and the second power supply is brought out of standby mode to
take over. Switchover occurs automatically when any fault or out-of-tolerance condition
is detected and the hot-swap facility allows the defective card to be replaced while the
unit continues to operate.
At least one PSU card must be installed in each V200 chassis.

Vocality User Manual

Page 9 of 114
2.2.1.2 CPU Card
The CPU card provides many functions critical to the V200 –configuration and control,
chassis and hot-swap management and storage of all application software. At least one
CPU card must be installed in each V200 –it is configured as Slot 0 and provides the
management facilities for the entire unit. Another CPU card may be present and
assigned as a redundant Slot 0 CPU card –this card monitors the operation of the active
Slot 0 CPU card and takes over operation of the Slot 0 functions if it detects that the
active Slot 0 card has failed.
By default it is assumed in this manual that your V200 is fitted with the High Speed CPU
card (HSCPU), which includes a multi-protocol serial data port capable of 10Mbps
operation, two 10/100/1000Mbps triple-speed Gigabit Ethernet ports, and an integrated
dynamic IP router with DHCP server, bridging and PEP. It also provides a serial
Management & Control (M&C) port, an Alarm port and an Alert push button for
invoking the hot-swap feature. Two LEDs indicate the status of the CPU card.
Other Standard CPU cards may be present as line cards using the single data port, two
10/100/1000base-T Ethernet ports and integrated IPv4 router.
2.2.1.2.1 Control and Monitoring
The CPU card has a dedicated 6-way locking mini-DIN connector labelled “M&C”. This
port has an RS232 interface and presents either a formatted display for network control
or a terse teletype mode for integration into the overall network management system.
The facility for uploading and downloading configuration data using script files is also
provided.
The mandatory CPU card in Bay A of a V200 chassis is the master controlling entity.
Even when this card has a secondary for backup purposes in Bay B, the leftmost card is
the primary card unless it becomes faulty. The unit must therefore be managed through
this card, either using the serial M&C port or via remote Telnet access.
All of the cards in a chassis and all of the units in a network may be controlled from the
management port of the primary CPU card in a chassis, remote or hub. This includes
any chassis connected via a High Speed Channel link at any point in the network.
Remote management bandwidth is taken from the asynchronous data dynamic pool. A
minimum of 2400bps is used in times of congestion and a maximum bandwidth, up to
the aggregate rate, is used when there is no other traffic. In this way, the responsiveness
of a connection to a remote unit is optimised at all times.
2.2.1.2.2 Compact FLASH
All of the configurations, application software and the firmware, for each card installed
in the V200 chassis, are stored on the compact FLASH located on the CPU card. This
makes it easier to upgrade the software and the firmware on cards and guarantees
cards of the same type are running identical software. This also ensures that disaster
recovery can be achieved by simply removing the compact FLASH card and replacing it
with a new pre-programmed one.
New software can be downloaded to the compact FLASH via TFTP. See Section 5.2
Upgrading your software - via menus for more information.

2.2.1.2.3 Alarm Port
A dedicated 6-way RJ11 connector is presented on the CPU card rear panel, which
contains two voltage-free changeover relays used to indicate major and minor alarms.
These may be linked to ancillary equipment or the network control centre for
equipment monitoring.
The active Slot 0 CPU card monitors the status of all other cards in the chassis. A range
of conditions activate the Minor Alarm relay to indicate the alarm condition, such as loss
of carrier. Any V200 slot reporting a hardware failure condition generates a Major
Alarm. The alarm relays are not used on the standby Slot 0 card or Slot n CPU cards.
2.2.1.2.4 Gigabit Ethernet Router
The HSCPU card includes an integrated IP Router, presented on the RJ45 connectors for
the two triple speed Gigabit Ethernet ports. The majority of applications now demand IP
connectivity in the field, as well as the established voice and data facilities and to
support this the V200 presents an integrated 10/100/1000 base-T port capable of
supporting IPv4 bridging and/or routing functions over a satellite link. IP traffic is
carried over the proprietary V200 link structure alongside other media. This confers a
number of benefits such as improved fragmentation, efficiency and low latency.
The HSCPU card offers bridging and static routing capability with DHCP Server/Relay
functions built in. A UDP relay function enhances this by allowing communication
between a remote client and a server on the home network. Users can plug their laptop
into the remote V200 and log in to their home network, surf the internet and pick up E-
mail.
The V200 IP port may also be used to provide IP aggregate connectivity between V200s
over an intermediate IP network thus enabling data and voice to be carried over an IP-
based infrastructure. The technology is not Voice over IP but Voice and IP.
2.2.1.3 Serial Data Card
The serial data card presents four identical, independent sync/async serial data port
interfaces for use in tributary or aggregate operation.
Not only does the Serial Data Card operate up to 10Mbps on each port but it can also
operate at very low data rates for legacy support.
All four serial ports are presented via a single 68-way VHDCI connector. A four-way
adaptor cable is supplied which presents each port on an individual high density 15-way
D-type connector. This may then be used in combination with our range of type-specific
interface cables. An additional 8 channels are supported by the addition of an
expansion card which presents two further 68-way VHDCI connectors.
Each serial card can provide 4/12 data connections for the slot it is assigned to. A serial
card may be configured to provide a redundancy feature for another serial card.
2.2.1.4 E1 Digital Voice Card
The Digital Voice Card allows Primary rate ISDN circuits to be terminated by a V200 via
an E1 interface, and protocol stacks switch and route calls throughout the V200
