Paradyne 3615, 3616 manual How to Change Hardware Straps, Procedure

COMSPHERE DualFlow Data Service Units

CAUTION

The ac transformer contains a 3-wire grounding-type plug which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug by modifying it or by using an adapter.

Prior to installation, use an outlet tester to check the ac receptacle for earth ground. If the power source does not provide a ground connection, consult an electrician to determine another method of grounding the DSU before proceeding with the installation.

Before connecting the DSU, you need to contact the telephone company to coordinate your installation before connecting the DSU to the DDS or Switched 56 kbps network. The DSU can only be operated at the data rate for which access to the DDS network is provided. In addition, the DSU must be connected to the dial network. Refer to the notice at the front of this guide to ensure compliance with FCC, Bell Canada, and Canadian DOC rules.

No on-site assembly of the DSU is required. However, installation should not proceed if any of the following is missing:

•A power cord with table-top ac transformer

•A 14-ft cable for connection to the DDS network, with an 8-pin RJ48S modular plug on each end

•A 14-ft cable for connection to the permissive dial network, with a 6-pin RJ11C modular plug on each end (feature number 3600-F3-503)

For programmable services, the following dial interface cable should have been ordered.

•Programmable (RJ45S) ± an 8-pin modular plug at each end (feature number 4400-F1-54x)

For Canadian purchasers, an 8-pin RJ48S connector is on one end while a 6-pin connector is on the other is required (order feature number 3000-F1-006).

Contact your service representative if any of these

items is missing from the shipping container, or to order the programmable dial interface cable.

Since your DualFlow DSU is equipped with a DBM,

you may need to change the DSU's hardware straps before installing the DSU.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

FOR

STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

This product is designed to protect sensitive components from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during normal operation. When performing installation procedures, however, take proper static control precautions to prevent damage to equipment. If you are not sure of the proper static control precautions, contact your nearest sales or service representative.

The Model 3615 DSU has a switch located behind its diagnostic control panel (DCP). This switch contains two straps, one that controls the permissive or programmable connection for the DBM, and one that controls the frame-to-signal grounds. Table 2-1 shows the DSU's switch settings. Refer to Figure 2-1 and follow these steps if you need to change one of these straps.
