Space Requirements

The LCS60 can be rack mounted, wall mounted, or installed on a secure surface. The unit is 7 × 17 × 19 inches and weighs 40 lbs. A minimum of 12 inches of clearance is required at the front and rear of the unit for access, and a minimum of two inches of clearance at the sides of the unit to permit proper airflow through the unit.

Cabling

WARNING: Connect and disconnect cables ONLY when the power is off.

There are four types of connections commonly required for the LCS60:

1. A dual optical fiber connection to a CPM-HS module installed in a Lucent Technologies data switch or concentrator. The fiber cable between the LCS60 and the data switch is limited to a maximum length of 2.9 km.

2. Ethernet LAN connection.

3. A console connection through an RS-232C interface to either a terminal or data switch port. RS-232 distance limits apply to the LCS60 console con- nection (nominally 50 feet).

4. An AC power connection is required for an AC powered unit. An AC outlet must be within 6 feet of the LCS60; the use of extension cords should be avoided.

5. A DC power connection is required for DC powered units. The customer must make this connection with wire no larger than 6 AWG and no smaller than 18 AWG.

Cautions: Do not run signal cables next to, or parallel with, AC power cables.

Do not run signal cables near radio transmitters or any equipment that generates radio frequencies.

Do not run signal cables near electric motors, power supplies, power line regulators, or relays.

Do not run signal cables near equipment that generates power line noise; such as air conditioners, copy machines, and water coolers.

Use power outlets with adequate protective grounding.
