Paradyne 3810 manual Installing a Model 3811 Modem

Model 3811 Installation

The installation of a Model 3811 varies slightly if an SDCP is installed on the front of the carrier. To install a Model 3811 modem into the carrier without an SDCP, perform the following steps:

CAUTION

If the Model 3811 is removed from the carrier, always use a ground strap when handling the modem. Always store the Model 3811 in an antistatic bag when it is removed from the carrier.

1.At the rear of the carrier install the rear connector plate. Make sure the plate uses the same slot position as that intended for the modem.

Loosely fasten the plate. This allows for slight adjustments later when installing the modem.

2.At the front of the carrier, hold the modem vertically, with the latch on its faceplate in the open position, and insert it into the top and bottom card guides of one of the slots numbered 1±16 (see Figure 3-2).

Slide the modem into the slot, aligning the modem with the rear connector plate, until the backplane connector and DTE connector seat firmly into the back of the carrier. The faceplate latch automatically closes as you push the modem into the carrier. To lock the modem into the carrier, press the faceplate latch until a click is heard.

3.If the carrier is ON, the Power LED on the faceplate of the 3811 lights. After several seconds the modem completes its power-up self-test in which all faceplate LEDs light. If the modem fails, the Alrm LED on the faceplate flashes.

Return to the rear of the carrier and tighten the rear connector plate.
