Optimux-108 Four-Channel E1 and Ethernet Multiplexer Version 6.1 Installation and Operation Manual Notice This manual contains information that is proprietary to RAD Data Communications Ltd. ("RAD"). No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form whatsoever without prior written approval by RAD Data Communications.
Limited Warranty RAD warrants to DISTRIBUTOR that the hardware in the Optimux-108 to be delivered hereunder shall be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of shipment to DISTRIBUTOR.
General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A (20A for USA and Canada). The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A (40A for USA and Canada). Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes. The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors.
FCC-15 User Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
Français Mise au rebut du produit Afin de faciliter la réutilisation, le recyclage ainsi que d'autres formes de récupération d'équipement mis au rebut dans le cadre de la protection de l'environnement, il est demandé au propriétaire de ce produit RAD de ne pas mettre ce dernier au rebut en tant que déchet municipal non trié, une fois que le produit est arrivé en fin de cycle de vie.
• Avant la mise en marche de l'équipement, assurez-vous que le câble de fibre optique est intact et qu'il est connecté au transmetteur. • Ne tentez pas d'ajuster le courant de la commande laser. • N'utilisez pas des câbles ou connecteurs de fibre optique cassés ou sans terminaison et n'observez pas directement un rayon laser. • L'usage de périphériques optiques avec l'équipement augmentera le risque pour les yeux.
Français Connexion au courant du secteur Assurez-vous que l'installation électrique est conforme à la réglementation locale. Branchez toujours la fiche de secteur à une prise murale équipée d'une borne protectrice de mise à la terre. La capacité maximale permissible en courant du circuit de distribution de la connexion alimentant le produit est de 16A (20A aux Etats-Unis et Canada).
Glossary Address A coded representation of the origin or destination of data. Agent In SNMP, this refers to the managed system. Attenuation Signal power loss through equipment, lines or other transmission devices. Measured in decibels. Balanced A transmission line in which voltages on the two conductors are equal in magnitude, but opposite in polarity, with respect to ground. Balanced Line A circuit in which neither side of the line is grounded.
Equalizer A device that compensates for distortion due to signal attenuation and propagation time with respect to frequency. It reduces the effects of amplitude, frequency and/or phase distortion. Ethernet A local area network (LAN) technology which has extended into the wide area networks. Ethernet operates at many speeds, including data rates of 10 Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps.
Manager An application that receives Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information from an agent. An agent and manager share a database of information, called the Management Information Base (MIB). An agent can use a message called a traps-PDU to send unsolicited information to the manager. A manager that uses the RADview MIB can query the RAD device, set parameters, sound alarms when certain conditions appear, and perform other administrative tasks.
Telnet The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. It lets users on one host access another host and work as terminal users of that remote host. Instead of dialing into the computer, the user connects to it over the Internet using Telnet. When issuing a Telnet session, it connects to the Telnet host and logs in. The connection enables the user to work with the remote machine as though a terminal was connected to it.

Chapter 5 Monitoring and Diagnostics 5.6 Installation and Operation Manual Frequently Asked Questions Q Is Optimux-108 fiber main link line coding compliant with NRZ? A Optimux-108 does not comply with NRZ. The fiber optic interface line code is scrambled NRZ. The fiber optic module is RAD proprietary, and cannot work opposite other vendors. 5.7 Technical Support Technical support for this product can be obtained from the local authorized RAD partner from whom it was purchased.
Chapter 6 Software Upgrade Software upgrade is required to fix product limitations, enable new features, or to make the unit compatible with other devices that are already running the new software version. The Optimux-108 stores up to two versions of the software – each one is a separate partition.
Chapter 6 Software Upgrade Installation and Operation Manual Software Files The new version releases are distributed as software files named OP-106.img. The files can be obtained from the local RAD business partner from whom the device was purchased.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Software Upgrade Verifying the Optimux-108 Host Parameters The Optimux-108 host must have host IP parameters configured according to your network requirements. Otherwise you will not be able to establish a proper communication session with the TFTP server.
