2. Installation

2.1 Front panel

Figure 2: front panel

2.1.1 Indicator LED

There are 7 indicator LED on front panel.

From left to right is as following:

Name Color Status Description
TXD yellow wink Indicates RS232/RS485/RS422 data output

RXD yellow wink Indicates RS232/RS485/RS422 data input

ON E1 signal loss
LOS red
OFF E1 signal normal

LOF reserved

ON Under test status(ANA, DIG, REM, PATT pressed any)

TEST yellow
OFF In normal working status
ON PATT pressed, PATT test normal
PTOK green OFF PATT pressed, PATT test not normal
Wink PATT pressed, PATT test has error code
ON Power ON

2.1.2 Loop back test button

There are 4 switch buttons on the front panel, from left to right as follows:

� ANA：local loop of E1, used to test if local device and connect wire is

normal

Figure3: ANA test button

� DIG：RS232/485/422 local loop back, used to test remote device and

E1 line.

Figure 4: DIG test button

� PATT ： pseudo random code test: generate pseudo random code to

RS232/485/422 input port, and test if the output signal of RS232/485

/422 accord with the standard. PTOK ON if accord, OFF if not accord.

� REM: reserved.

Note:
1) press any button of front panel will stop normal data transfer,

and shift to test mode.

2) The connection should be a loop when in PATT mode, or no

return for the send pseudo random code.

2.2 Back panel

Figure 6: Back panel

2.2.1 Power supply

� AC220V power supply socket connect to the power wire directly.

� DC-48V power supply socket: -48V;If the power of DC -48V is used,

the positive and negative terminal can be optional because there is the

self-test circuit for the polarity inside it.

2.2.2 E1 interface

E1 interface of this device provides 75Ω and 120Ω impedance adapt, no need

set.

Unbalance E1 (75Ω), and balance E1 (120Ω) switch button is on the back

panel.

2.2.3 RS232 interface

For RS232：

There isRJ45 interface on back panel, which is DCE standard interface for RS232.

For RS485/422：

There isRJ45 interface on back panel, the definition is as follows:

2.3 Setting
8 DIP switches on the back panel used for E1 clock setting.

2.3.1 Clock setting

8 DIP pull switch on the front panel, DIP 1-2 is clock switch.
DIP1 DIP 2 description
OFF(up) OFF(up) E1 internal clock(default), master mode
ON(down) ON(down) E1 line clock, slave mode

� Internal clock: use clock generated by internal crystal, receive clock is

generated from E1.

� Line clock: working clock from received E1 signal.

E1 clock mode choice:

� When working in pair, both internal clock, or one internal and the other line

clock.

� Try to make only one device provide clock in connection.

� Avoid all devices in connection use line clock. If be sure that device provides

clock, then to set other as line clock. If not sure, set the device as internal clock.

3. Installation Procedure

� Unpack, inspect the content carefully. Verify that all items are included with
your carton. Contact us or local agent if there is any content missing or
damaged.
� Check power supply configuration. Care about the value of voltage if use DC
input.
� Take following tests before usage:
� Check if all the loop back test switch buttons on back panel is loosen,
PWR and LOS should be ON, and all other LED should be OFF.
� Press PATT button, TEST should be ON, PTOK should be OFF. Then
Press ANA button, PTOK ON and LOS OFF.
� If used in pair, when press PATT button, you may not press ANA, then
press DIG or REM of remote device, PTOK should be ON.
� If indicator LED works normal, unpress all switch on the back panel and
power off, set clock, plug E1 wires, then power on, the device should work
normally.
� If device does not work normally, please refer to chapter 4: trouble shooting.
Contact us or our local agent in time if the problem can’t be solved.

When work normal, LINK, PWR, DATA LED ON, all other LED OFF.

phenomenon solution
1 PWR OFF Check if power supply connect ok
Loop back TX（output

2 LOS ON
check the E1 wire
Check if test button pressed, TEST is ON, and reset

3 normal, but Press PATT, and remote loop back (press DIG), if
no data PTOK OFF, then E1 channel have problem.
transmission Check if having data loop back to RS232/485/422
RS232/485/422
(such as SDH E1 loop, remote DIG pressed),press
local PATT, if PTOK ON, then having loop.

Check if both devices have been set as line clock, the

Data
correct setting should be:

4 1)both devices internal clock
but having
2)or one device internal clock and the other line

clock

Note
Note：howhow to check the device work normal?
(1) if press ANA on one device, and press PATT,PTOK ON, if unpress ANA,
PTOK OFF, then the device work normal.
(2) if press PATT, PTOK OFF, press DIG on remote device, PTOK ON, then
both devices and E1 works normal.
caution
