Patton electronic 2616RC RS-232 control port, Power system, Central processing unit, Temperature

Model 2616RC T-DAC User Manual 1 • Introduction

•10Base-T half-/full-duplex operation (10 + 10)

•Auto detection and fallback

•10/100 Mbps link and status indicators

RS-232 control port

The RS-232 port provides for initial configuration of the Model 2616RC. The RS-232 port supports:

•Asynchronous data rates of 19.2 kbps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

•An RJ-45 connector with EIA-561 pinouts

•A management interface that supports VT-100 terminals

•Hardware flow control (RTS and CTS)

Power system

The 2616RC obtains power from the Patton ForeFront chassis. Total power consumption is a maximum of 43 watts provided by modular power supplies installed in the Patton ForeFront chassis.

Central processing unit

The 2616RC employs an Intel i960VH RISC processor operating at 100 MHz/100 Mips. The CPU controls the memory, front/back-panel and management interface for WAN time slot mapping, local switching, loop- back and the management system. The memory holds:

•4 MB Flash ROM

•8 MB EDO DRAM

System timing

The T1/E1 T-DAC’s system timing may be derived from an internal clock from an on-board chip, external BITS clock, or a network clock from one of the T1/E1 WAN ports or from the ForeFront system chassis clock. The clock source may be configured in primary, secondary, or slave mode.

The system timing is configured through the NMS.

Temperature

Operating range: 32–122°F (0–50°C)

Altitude

Maximum operating altitude: 15,000 feet (4,752 meters)

Humidity

5 to 95% relative humidity (RH), non-condensing

Physical dimensions

•1.75 inches (4.44 cm) height, standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) width, 12-inch (30.48 cm) depth

Management services

•Out-of-Band RS-232 configuration port for management and control
