Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is
connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products
even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or
a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages
levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still
exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or
telecommunication lines, remove jewelry or any other metallic
object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be
grounded during normal use. Grounding is provided by connecting the
mains plug to a wall socket with a protective ground terminal. If a
ground lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to
the protective ground at all times, by a wire with a diameter of 18
AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in
grounded racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do
not connect telecommunication cables to ungrounded equipment. Make
sure that all other cables are disconnected before disconnecting
the ground.
Some products may have panels secured by thumbscrews with a slotted
head. These panels may cover hazardous circuits or parts, such as
power supplies. These thumbscrews should therefore always be
tightened securely with a screwdriver after both initial
installation and subsequent access to the panels.
Connecting AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local
codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective
ground.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch
distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The
circuit breaker in the building installation should have high
breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current
exceeding 35A.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to
the wall socket. If a power switch is provided in the equipment,
set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily
accessible circuit breaker or emergency switch is installed in the
building installation.
In cases when the power distribution system is IT type, the switch
must disconnect both poles simultaneously.
Connecting DC Power
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the
equipment is floating in reference to the ground. Any single pole
can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC power systems, care should
be taken when connecting the DC supply to avoid short-circuits and
fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an
area where access is authorized only to qualified service and
maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC power supply is electrically isolated from
any AC source and that the installation complies with the local
codes.
The maximum permissible current capability of the branch
distribution circuit that supplies power to the product is 16A. The
circuit breaker in the building installation should have high
breaking capacity and must operate at short-circuit current
exceeding 35A.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed
from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board
that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When
connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to
the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the
negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON
position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and
approved should be incorporated in the building installation.
If the DC power supply is floating, the switch must disconnect both
poles simultaneously.
Connecting Data and Telecommunications Cables
Data and telecommunication interfaces are classified according to
their safety status.
The following table lists the status of several standard
interfaces. If the status of a given port differs from the standard
one, a notice will be given in the manual.
Ports Safety Status
V.11, V.28, V.35, V.36, RS-530, X.21, 10 BaseT, 100 BaseT,
Unbalanced E1, E2, E3, STM, DS-2, DS-3, S-Interface ISDN, Analog
voice E&M
SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage:
Ports which do not present a safety hazard. Usually up to 30 VAC or
60 VDC.
xDSL (without feeding voltage), Balanced E1, T1, Sub E1/T1
TNV-1 Telecommunication Network Voltage-1:
Ports whose normal operating voltage is within the limits of SELV,
on which overvoltages from telecommunications networks are
possible.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Subscriber) TNV-2 Telecommunication Network
Voltage-2:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV
(usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which
overvoltages from telecommunication networks are not possible.
These ports are not permitted to be directly connected to external
telephone and data lines.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL (with feeding voltage),
U-Interface ISDN
TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:
Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds the limits of SELV
(usually up to 120 VDC or telephone ringing voltages), on which
overvoltages from telecommunication networks are possible.
Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If
in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified safety engineer.
Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting
telecommunication cables. Do not disconnect the ground connection
before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.
Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use
caution when connecting cables. Extra caution should be exercised
during thunderstorms.
When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good
ground connection at both ends. The grounding and bonding of the
ground connections should comply with the local codes.
The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or
present a fire hazard in case of contact between exposed external
wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there
are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables,
between the equipment and the mating connectors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cords.
Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des
conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section
supérieure.
Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or
non-exposed wiring or cabling only. In such cases, a notice will be
given in the installation instructions.
Do not attempt to tamper with any carrier-provided equipment or
connection hardware.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The equipment is designed and approved to comply with the
electromagnetic regulations of major regulatory bodies. The
following instructions may enhance the performance of the equipment
and will provide better protection against excessive emission and
better immunity against disturbances.
A good ground connection is essential. When installing the
equipment in a rack, make sure to remove all traces of paint from
the mounting points. Use suitable lock-washers and torque. If an
external grounding lug is provided, connect it to the ground bus
using braided wire as short as possible.
The equipment is designed to comply with EMC requirements when
connecting it with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. However,
the use of shielded wires is always recommended, especially for
high-rate data. In some cases, when unshielded wires are used,
ferrite cores should be installed on certain cables. In such cases,
special instructions are provided in the manual.
Disconnect all wires which are not in permanent use, such as cables
used for one-time configuration.
The compliance of the equipment with the regulations for conducted
emission on the data lines is dependent on the cable quality. The
emission is tested for UTP with 80 dB longitudinal conversion loss
(LCL).
Unless otherwise specified or described in the manual, TNV-1 and
TNV-3 ports provide secondary protection against surges on the data
lines. Primary protectors should be provided in the building
installation.
The equipment is designed to provide adequate protection against
electro-static discharge (ESD). However, it is good working
practice to use caution when connecting cables terminated with
plastic connectors (without a grounded metal hood, such as flat
cables) to sensitive data lines. Before connecting such cables,
discharge yourself by touching ground or wear an ESD preventive
wrist strap.

Daisy Chain Application
The Daisy Chain application is supported only in Optimux-45.
Figure 1-4 illustrates how to connect a typical Daisy Chain
application. All of the main link modules in a given chain should
be of the same type, either coaxial or fiber. (In a wireless Daisy
Chain application, the main link can only be coaxial). The same
chain can support a mix of balanced and unbalanced Optimux-45
units.
Figure 1-4. Daisy Chain Application (Optimux-45 only)
All the products in the Daisy Chain application should be of the
same type.
Figure 1-5. Wireless Daisy Chain Application (Optimux-45
only)
The wireless Daisy Chain application requires an Optimux-45
product. All the products in the chain have to be of the same
type.

Ring Application
• The Ring application is supported only in Optimux-45.
• Ring applications can be managed only by using the RADview/TDM
Network Management System. RADview/TDM is available for PC as well
as for Unix workstations. Contact your local RAD vendor to acquire
the RADview/TDM management software package.
• In Ring applications, management of the Optimux-45 must be via
the Ethernet (Management port), not from a terminal (Control
port).
Figure 1-6 and Figure 1-7 illustrate how a typical Ring application
and wireless Ring applications are connected. In a Ring
application, all of the Main Link modules in a given ring should be
of the same type, either coaxial or fiber. In a wireless Ring
application, the main link can only be coaxial. Different products
are required for each Ring application. All these products should
be of the same type for each Ring. Both Ring applications can
support a mix of balanced and unbalanced Optimux-45 products. The
advantage of a Ring configuration over a Daisy Chain configuration
is the inherent redundancy available in a Ring topology. The
ability to utilize a backup link enables communications traffic to
continue in the event of a failure in one of the main links.
The number of Optimux-45 nodes supported in a Ring application
depends on whether the uplink is fiber or coax and on whether E1 or
T1 tributaries are being used. A wireless Ring application can
support up to eight nodes. For large applications, contact your
local RAD vendor to inquire if your intended configuration will
enable a Ring topology.

Features
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L provides a simple, flexible and
cost-effective solution for transporting multiple T1 and E1 signals
at distances up to 110 km (68 miles).
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L integrates up to 28 T1, 21 E1, or a
combination of T1 and E1 channels over a single DS3 data stream.
This provides an easily upgradeable solution, flexible enough to
meet the requirements of a broad range of applications.
It supports multimode fiber, single mode fiber, single fiber (WDM),
and coax cables.
Two Optimux-45, Optimux-45L units can be connected over a single
fiber (SF) in either of two ways:
• Using WDM technology in which the transmit signal is at different
wavelength than the receive signal
• Using a single wavelength for both the transmit signal and the
receive signal
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L transmits each of the T1 channels
independently, so that the clock of each T1 channel is
independent.
Note
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L Ver. 4.0 Overview 1-11

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 1 Introduction
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L Ver. 4.0 Functional Description 1-15
Link Redundancy
Up to two DS3 links can be ordered with Optimux-45, Optimux-45L.
Each of these links (A and B) can be configured to act as the main
link while the other serves as a redundant link.
When a second, backup optical link card is installed, Optimux-45,
Optimux-45L redundancy mechanisms can be implemented in one of the
following user- selectable modes:
• Automatic Redundancy Mode: switches between the main and the
backup link upon signal loss detection. Automatic redundancy will
switch back to the main link when it recovers.
• Manual Redundancy Mode: switches transmission to the backup link
upon main link signal loss, but does not reinstate the main link
once it has recovered. To switch back to the main link (after the
main link has recovered), switch to Automatic mode.
• Main A or B: determines which link is the main link (either Link
B or Link A can be set to function as the main link).
• Off & Main A: Redundancy mode is set to Off & Main A,
main link A remains the active link without being able to switch to
link B.
• Off & Main B: Redundancy mode is set to Off & Main B,
main link B remains the active link without being able to switch to
link A.
In Optimux-45, redundancy mechanisms can be implemented as
follows:
• Both links (A and B) must be installed to support Ring
applications.
• In Daisy Chain connections, the units located at the closing ends
of the chain may be equipped with only a single main link (A or B),
while the remaining units in the chain must have both links
installed.
• In a Ring application, all main link modules should be of the
same type, either coax or fiber.
• In a wireless Daisy Chain and Ring applications, all the main
link modules should be coaxial.
• In all the Daisy Chain and Ring applications, the main link
redundancy mechanism is disabled and is set to OFF. Link B is set
as the main link. For further information on how to set up Daisy
Chain and Ring applications, refer to the Interfaces and
Connections section.

Power Supply
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L can be ordered with a 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
or with -48 VDC, or 24 DC power supply.
Requirements
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L uses three different voltages: -5V, 3.3V
and +5V.
These voltages are produced from the main power supply and can be
either AC (derived from a 100 to 240 VAC power supply) or DC
(derived from either a 24 VDC or from a -48 VDC power
supply).
A redundant power supply is also available. This provides automatic
switching to the backup power supply during a main power supply
failure.
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L can support one or two AC, one or two DC,
or one AC and one DC power supplies with separate input connectors
for each of the power supply’s modules.
Management
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L management software can be accessed in a
number of ways: RADview (RAD’s Network Management System), Telnet,
Web browser such as ConfiguRAD, or ASCII terminal. The software is
menu-driven, with numbered options selected by the operator.
Terminal management menus and procedures are described in Chapter
4.
Physical connections for control can be made through the RS-232
port using a DB-9 connector for terminal connection or through the
Ethernet port using an RJ-45 interface for Ethernet
connection.
Monitoring Mode
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L’s monitoring mode is used for diagnostic
purposes. The monitoring mode enables the user to monitor the
received data of the selected channel. The data can be monitored on
pins 7 and 8 of the CLOCK (Optimux-45) or MON/CLK (Optimux-45L)
connector. Monitoring does not influence regular data flow toward
the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L multiplexer. In daisy chain, ring and
drop applications, (Optimux-45 only) unconnected ports can also be
monitored.
The monitoring port supports HDB3 or B8ZS but not AMI. For example,
if the selected channel is set to AMI, the monitoring port output
will be HDB3 or B8ZS (depending on the channel type, either E1 or
T1). In a wireless Daisy Chain and Ring application, the Monitoring
mode is not supported.
Figure 1-11 illustrates Optimux-45, Optimux-45L’s monitoring
feature.

the E1/T1 layer as well as on the DS3 layer. Local Loop Back (LLB)
on the DS3 layer is not supported in daisy chain and ring
applications. For more information on diagnostics see Chapter
6.
Alarms
• Major Alarm
• Minor Alarm.
There are two relays:
• One for Major Alarms
• One for Minor Alarms.
All the fault reasons that can cause Major Alarm share the same
Major Alarm relay, and all the fault reasons that can cause Minor
Alarm, share the same Minor Alarm relay.
The user can configure each alarm to be considered Major, Minor or
Off. Optimux-45, Optimux-45L also support Alarm input on the
customer’s premises.
For more information on Alarms refer to Chapter 6.
Far-End Alarm and Control
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L supports transmission and receiving of FEAC
codes as defined in the ANSI T1.404 standard. The FEAC codes are
supported only in C-bit parity mode of operation. The FEAC codes
are divided into two groups.
• Alarm/Status FEAC codes, which are transmitted by the Optimux-45,
Optimux-45L towards a far-end unit in order to inform it about the
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L status.
• Loopback control FEAC codes, which are received from a far end
unit and are used to perform loops on the E1/T1 channels and on the
DS3 link of the Optimux-45, Optimux-45L.
The Optimux-45, Optimux-45L supports the Alarm/Status FEAC codes
listed in Table 1-2. The table is arranged in the priority of high

Two types of cards can be installed in the main link slots: Fiber
Optic and Electrical. Both slots are located on the rear panel as
shown in Figures 2-3 through 2-7. The link redundancy is user
defined to Link A or Link B. The default redundant link is B. In
both daisy chain and ring applications (Optimux-45), the link
redundancy is not user-selectable; it is set to Off, and the main
link is B. Both links (A and B) must be of the same type (either
both electrical or both fiber optic) and all of the main link
modules in the chain/ring should be of the same type (either all
coax or all fiber).
Only coaxial main link modules can be installed in wireless Daisy
Chain/Ring applications.
If you intend to replace an electrical main link interface of the
Optimux-45, Optimux-45L unit with an optical one, it is not
