Chapter 1- Hardware Description
ISDN/PSTN Clock Source
Each RTM ISDN card has its own primary and secondary clock source. The first span to synchronize becomes the primary clock source and the second span to synchronize becomes the secondary clock source. This clock is used to synchronize ISDN spans only (it is not the system clock).
A single clock source triggers an alarm that can be turned off by setting the appropriate flag in the system configuration.
RTM LAN
The RTM LAN card routes data between the MPM+/MPMx cards and components of the system, sends media by IP packets and provides connectivity to external networks.
An RTM LAN card must connect directly to an MPM+/MPMx card. In an RMX with a single MPM+/MPMx card, the RTM LAN card must be installed in the rear panel slot on the same level as the MPM+/MPMx card.
Each RTM LAN card includes 2 LAN ports and a maximum of four RTM LAN cards can be installed on the RMX 4000.

AC Power Entry Module (PEM)
An AC PEM includes a power inlet, EMI filter and backplane connectors. Power input to the system is fed via a PEM (Power Entry Module) through backplane into the power supply. Each AC power module has its own dedicated power cable. The ON/OFF switch on the rear of the RMX activates any power module installed on the RMX. An AC system has three AC PEMs, one for each power module. On failure, both AC power supplies and PEMs are hot swappable.
