Card Installation
4Card Installation
Each KBU 64 ‘front’ card must be associated with an appropriate (V.24, X.21, or V.35) rear interface card i.e. they should always be installed in pairs (although no damage will result in partial installation)
If the KBU 64s are to be managed individually via their rear panel command port and there is no manager card present then, after connection of the user, link, and command cables, the KBU 64s can be treated in the same manner as standalone KBU 64s for configuration purposes.
When installing KBU cards in a rack make sure to configure the Rear Interface Card straps correctly, depending on whether a Manager Card is fitted. Refer to KBU64 Manual (Publication
4.1 Manager Card Installation
When the KBU 64s are to be managed with a KBU 64 rack manager card then the manager card must be placed in slot 1, the slot on the far left when viewing the rack from the front.
If the Manager command port is conected direct to a terminal/PC then cable CAB0017 or CAB0018 is required (CAB0017 has a female connector and CAB0018 a male connector at the terminal end). If connected to a PSV port sharer please contact your Technical Support for details.
With a directly connected terminal it may be necessary to force CTS or DCD to the terminal, depending on the terminal’s requirements.
