ALARMS 9-pin D-type female Optimux-XLT1 dry contacts of two alarm relays

(major and minor) to a remote monitoring site

LINK A, TX/RX ST, SC or FC/PC Main fiber-optic link

LINK B, TX/RX ST, SC or FC/PC Redundant (backup) fiber-optic link

For the pin assignment of the connectors, refer to the Interface Specification

appendix.

Channel Connections

The Optimux-XLT1 has four groups of interface ports designated A to D on the

front panel of the unit.

Channel A is a fixed 10BaseT Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. The other

groups of interface ports should be prepared according to the ordered channel

modules (see the Channel Module Options table). Any combination of 10BaseT

Ethernet, T1 balanced, Fast Ethernet and High Speed modules can be installed in

Optimux-XLT1 slots B to D (see Figure 2-1). A vacant slot should be closed up

using a blank panel.

For T1 lines, the maximum allowable line length between the T1 ports and the

user's equipment is 655 ft (200m) according to ANSI T1.102. The cable type and

length should be selected accordingly. The length of a standard UTP cable to a

10BaseT Ethernet or 10/100BaseT station is 100 meters (330 ft).

The Interface Specification appendix provides the pin allocation for all the

connectors.

Connect the channel cables to connectors corresponding to the interface in use

(see Figure 2-4, Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6) as indicated in Table 2-5.
