4 Card Installation
Each KBU 64 ‘front’ card must be associated with an appropriate (V.24,
X.21, or V.35) rear interface card
i.e.
they should always be installed in
pairs (although no damage will result in partial installation)
If the KBU 64s are to be managed individually via their rear panel
command port
and there is no manager card present
then, after
connection of the user, link, and command cables, the KBU 64s can be
treated in the same manner as standalone KBU 64s for configuration
purposes.
When installing KBU cards in a rack make sure to configure the Rear
Interface Card straps correctly, depending on whether a Manager Card is
fitted. Refer to KBU64 Manual (Publication 80-10100000) - Link Settings.
4.1 Manager Card Installation
When the KBU 64s are to be managed with a KBU 64 rack manager
card then the manager card must be placed in slot 1, the slot on the far
left when viewing the rack from the front.
If the Manager command port is conected direct to a terminal/PC then
cable CAB0017 or CAB0018 is required (CAB0017 has a female
connector and CAB0018 a male connector at the terminal end). If
connected to a PSV port sharer please contact your Technical Support
for details.
With a directly connected terminal it may be necessary to force CTS or
DCD to the terminal, depending on the terminal’s requirements.
