Chapter 2 Installation and Setup 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides mechanical and electrical installation procedures for SPS-6, SPS-12, and basic operating procedures. SPS-6, SPS-12 is delivered completely assembled. It is designed for installation as a desktop unit or mounted in a 19" rack. After installing the unit, refer to the RAD Packet Switching Guide for system configuration information and procedures.
Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Installation and Operation Manual Main Links Connections The SPS-6 has six main links connectors and the SPS-12 has twelve main links connectors. The main links connector depends on the ordered interface: • RS-232/V24: 25-pin D-type, female connector • X.21: 25-pin D-type, female connector • V.35: 25-pin D-type, female connector • RS-530: 25-pin D-type, female connector • V.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Figure 2-1. SPS-12 Internal Boards Internal Jumpers Warning Access inside the equipment is only permitted to qualified and authorized service personnel. To avoid the danger of electrical shock, always disconnect the power cable from mains before opening the unit. The SPS-6, SPS-12 main board has three internal jumpers, labeled J13, JP44 and JP39.
Chapter 2 Installation and Setup Installation and Operation Manual IR-ETH jumper, J13 When set to NOR, this jumper enables the IR-ETH interface at links 7. IR-ETH jumper, JP44 When set to NOR, this jumper enables the IRETH interface at links 1. Figure 2-2. SPS-12, Identification of Internal Jumpers Interface Board The SPS-6/SPS-12 is available with eight types of removable interface boards. The interface board types are: Warning 2-4 • V.24 (RS-232) • V.35 • V.36 (RS-530) • X.
Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 2 Installation and Setup The V.24/V.35/RS-530/X.21 interface board can be configured as DCE or DTE by changing the main jumper.
