CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not

installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested

and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance

with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to

provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is

operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own

expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the

interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital

apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites

applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le

brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

2. Introduction

2.1 Description

The Modular Fiber Campus Driver (ME621A) and the Modular Fiber Campus

Driver Plus (ME620A) are designed for high-speed RS-232 communication over a

single multi-mode fiber. Operating at up to 128 kbps synchronous and 19.2 kbps

asynchronous data rates, the ME621A is perfect for campus applications where

data integrity is a must. The ME620A is even faster at a bursty 256 kbps

synchronous or 38.4 kbps async. Synchronous clocking options include internal,

external, or receive recovered clock.

Both models feature swappable DCE-DTE interface modules. Available

interfaces include V.24/RS-232 (part number ME481C-232), V.35 (part number

ME481C-35), RS-422/530 (part number ME481C-422), X.21 (part number

ME481C-X21), WAN Bridge (part number ME530A), and G.703 (part number

ME481C-G703). Fiber connections are made using an ST interface.

The Campus Drivers also incorporate V.54 compliant local and remote

loopback test modes that are activated by a convenient front panel switch. LED

status indicators monitor interface data and control signals as well as test mode

status. Available with a universal AC power supply, the Campus Drivers

conveniently fit in a wide range of applications and power supply environments.

If any questions or problems arise during installation or use of the Modular

Fiber Campus Drivers, please call Black Box Technical Support at 724-746-5500.

3. Configuration

Both Models ME621A and ME620A use a mini DIP-switch package that allows

configuration to a wide range of applications. These switches are located on the

bottom side of the PC board (see Figure 3-1). Because all eight switches are

externally accessible, you don’t have to open the case to configure the unit.

Figure 3-1. Underside of the Campus Driver, showing the location of the

DIP switches.

Configuration Switch “S1”

The switches shown in Figure 3-2 and on DIP switch S1 are used to set the async or

sync data rates, LAL and DL diagnostic functions, and the clock-mode setting. The

default settings for DIP switch S1 are shown in Table 3-1. Following the table are

detailed descriptions for each switch.
