2.2 Package Contents

The ASM-60 package includes the following items:

•One ASM-60 unit

•Last Mile Access and Intelligent Modems CD

•AC power cord

•RM-28 rack installation kit (if ordered).

2.3 Installation and Setup

The ASM-60 standalone unit is designed for desktop installation and is delivered as a fully assembled unit. No provisions are made for bolting the unit to a tabletop.

To install ASM-60:

1.Determine the required configuration of ASM-60, in accordance with your application.

2.Set the DIP switches of the Ethernet interface module accordingly.

3.Connect the line (see Connecting the Line below).

4.Connect the DTE (see Connecting the DTE below).

5.Connect power to the unit (see Connecting the Power below).

Performing the Internal Settings

ASM-60 with HSSI interface does not contain any jumpers or switches for user settings. For instructions on configuring ASM-60 units with an Ethernet interface module, refer to the respective appendix of this manual.

Access to the inside of the equipment is permitted only to the authorized and qualified personnel.

To avoid accidental electric shock, always disconnect the interface cables and Warning the power cord before removing the unit from its casing.

Line voltages are present inside ASM-60 when it is connected to power and/or the lines. Moreover, under certain fault conditions, dangerous voltages may appear on the lines connected to the unit.

Any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened instrument under voltage must be avoided as much as possible and, when inevitable, should be carried out only by a skilled technician who is aware of the hazard involved. Capacitors inside the unit may still be charged even after the unit has been disconnected from its source of power.

Caution ASM-60 contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage, avoid touching the internal components. Before moving the jumper, touch the ASM-60 frame.
