Section 2.3 lists the contents of the ASM-20 package.

Section 2.4 describes the mechanical installation of ASM-20.

Section 2.5 describes the electrical installation of ASM-20.

For ETH interface installation see Appendix A, Ethernet Interface.

For G.703 interface installation, see Appendix B, IR-G.703 Codirectional Interface (64 kbps).

For X.21B interface installation, see Appendix C, IR-X.21B Interface Module.

For V.36 interface installation, see Appendix E, Connection to RS-422.

After installation has been completed, see Chapter 3, Operation for operating information and system checkout to assure normal operation.

2.2 Site Preparation and Prerequisites

Install ASM-20 within 1.5m (5 ft) of a grounded, easily accessible AC outlet. The outlet should be capable of furnishing 115 VAC or 230 VAC (depending on rated voltage of unit).

For DC units, the DC supply must be adequately isolated from the mains supply. To prevent a fire hazard, the line supply lead should be fused or current limited.

Allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for operating and maintenance accessibility. Ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4 in) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables.
