Table 1-1: CX-U1000 Specifications
* The frequency of a standard DSP and a DDLP is always 600 Mhz. For a DLP, the
frequency can be 600 or 720 Mhz. However, if you add an extra DLP, both DLPs must use
the same frequency.
For more information on the DLP and DDLP, see:

NOTE:
Ports 1 to 3 and 5 to 10 are restricted for internal applications, but ports 4, 11,
and 12 have extra protection for external applications.
The CX-U1000 series of units each have two sockets to hold the DLP and DDLP plugins.
You can use these sockets to plug two DLPs, two DDLPs, or a mix of the two. Using the
DDLPs, you can expand the unit to 12 ports.

The layout of the rear panel can be different from unit to unit. For more information, see Unique Properties per CX-U1000 Unit on page 3-1.
There are four switched 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports at the back of the unit for WAN
connections (there is another in the front of the unit, suitable for unit management). Each
port is a female 8-pin RJ-45 connector. They autosense data transmission speeds of 10 or
100 Mbps, and autosense full-duplex or half-duplex capability. Auto-MDIX is supported,
however, you can still use straight or crossover Ethernet cables when connecting a CX-U
Series device to another device such as a modem or PC.

three-meter (10 ft) shielded, twisted pair cable with a male DB-25 (RS-530) connector at one end and a female M-34 block connector at the other
NOTE:
When interfacing the V.35/EIA-530 serial link to a redundant Comtech

modem, it is strongly recommended to use the special CBLH-V35C-10 cable
in order to preserve the integrity of the modems redundant control signal.
In a redundant setup with a V.35 link to two Comtech modems, a special Y cable is
needed. This cable links both units serial interface ports into a 1+1 (hot standby) setup.
With this cable, both units actively listen to the incoming traffic. Internal management
assures only one unit sends traffic onto the interface (the active unit).
The redundant EIA-530/V.35 Y cable adaptor is available for all CX-U units.
Serial Interface
Speeds
The EIA-530 serial interface supports asynchronous or synchronous transmission at

speeds up to 8,192 Mbps. The EIA-530 port can operate at 375 bps - 8,192 Mbps for
external or internal clocking.
EIA-530 Signal
Handling
Signaling through the EIA-530 port complies fully with the ITU-Ts (CCITT) V.35
standard. Signaling, however, occurs through a generic DB-25 (RS-530) connector.

About the DLP and DDLP cards

In addition to the hardware pre-installed on the motherboard of your unit, you can also add
extra daugthercards which add processing power to your unit. Each DSP on these
daughtercards can handle one or more T1/E1 ports, depending on which DSP application
is active.
For example, the EdgePlus DSP application can only handle one T1/E1 port, while the
AbisXpress DSP application can handle two T1/E1 ports.
NOTE:
Other factors can influence the number of ports a DSP resource can support.
To determine the number of DLP/DDLP cards you need for your network,
please contact your Memotec representative.
There are two types of daughtercards you can add to your CX-U unit:
A DLP (Digital line processor) card has a single DSP resource that is used to
compress traffic.
The DDLP (Dual Digital line processor) has a dual DSP resources which doubles
the processing power. Only the CX-U1000 series of units (revision 6 or later)
supports the DDLP cards.

GPS Clock Module

This small module, shown in Figure 4-2, mounts directly onto the CX-U motherboard. It is
specifically designed for use in remote synchronization and timing applications. The
reference synchronization is highly accurate and can achieve full PRC MTIE
performance. It has a self-survey mode of operation that allows the module to provide
accurate timing even with only one satellite being tracked. It provides reference timing to
all T1/E1, serial links (V.35/EIA-530) and external equipment using the SYNC Output.
Table 4-1 summarizes its specifications. For instructions on installing the module, please

5.1
Installation Preparations
The CX-U1010 and CX-U1240 fit in a standard rack, as well as the CX-U1280 and the
CX-U1220. The mounting brackets and screws are shipped with the units.
5.1.1
Unpacking and Inspecting the Units

When you receive your shipment, you should confirm its contents.
To unpack and inspect the units:
5.1.2
1.
Examine the shipping boxes and note if there is any damage.
2.
Open the shipping boxes and match their contents with the packing slip. If necessary,
make a list of any discrepancies.
3.
Examine the exterior of the chassis and cover for cracks, scratches or other signs of
damage. You should fully describe the type, amount and location of damage.
4.
Store the shipping boxes and protective foam for future use.
5.
Inform your sales representative of shipping discrepancies or damage.
Opening and Closing the Chassis

Installing additional DLPs or DDLPs requires that you first remove the CX-U1000s
cover, then replace it when the work is done.
To open and close the chassis:
5-2
1.
Disconnect all network connections.
2.
Disconnect the power cord.
3.
Ground yourself to protect the unit from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4.
Position the unit so it faces you. Remove the five Phillips-head screws located on the
top of the chassis, see Figure 5-1.
5.
Remove the eight Phillips-head screws located on the bottom of the chassis.
6.
Slide the base of the unit out by the back. Be careful no to damage the LEDs at the
front of the unit.
7.
When you have completed work inside the chassis, slide the base of the unit back by
the rear of the unit. Be careful not to damage the LEDs at the front of the unit, use

5.1.3
Adding a Redundant Backplane to Two Units

Adding a Redundant Backplane requires that you have two CX-U units, stacked one atop
the other.
1.
Remove the Redundant Backplane from its packaging (if you have not already done
so).
2.
Carefully line up all connectors located at the rear of the units, and push the backplane
into place.
3.
Fasten the ten retaining screws, to ensure all interface connectors have solid contact
with the backplane.
Figure 5-2: Attaching the Redundant Backplane
NOTE:
5-4
If you also have the protective plates, you need to add them after the backplanes. For more information, see Protective Plates on page A-12.
Memotec Inc.
5.1.4
Removing a Faulty Unit

This procedure assumes you have followed the instructions in Adding a Redundant
Backplane to Two Units on page 5-4 and one of the two units has failed. In a typical
setup, the top unit handles the traffic (master or main CX-U), except when a failure is
detected on it. The bottom unit is the backup or slave CX-U.
For this procedure, call Unit A the failed unit, and Unit B the redundant backup that
takes over.
1.
It is mandatory that Unit A has been powered off when connecting and disconnecting
from the backplane. This ensures that any traffic being carried in Unit A will
automatically shift to Unit B.
2.
Remove the five retaining screws from the Unit A, and put them aside for later use.
3.
Remove the front rackmount screws, then carefully separate the backplane from Unit
A.
Removing and installing the top unit can be performed by one person. However,
removing and installing the bottom unit requires two people. When the front
rackmount screws have been removed from the bottom unit, it is no longer supported,
a second person is needed to hold the bottom unit during the procedure.
4.
Replace Unit A with another unit.
5.
Replace the five retaining screws.
You may consult the Status Active LEDs (shown in Figure 2-2 in Chapter 2) to help
determine which unit is carrying traffic.

Vertically Mounting CX-U Units

In certain cases, it is recommended that you mount the CX-U units vertically. For more
details, please consult the Product Information Note entitled Thermal Management When
Installing the CX-U1240 In The Hub which is available on the Memotec product CD, or
directly from Memotec.
5.4.1
Vertically Mounting CX-U Units

Please follow these instructions for vertically mounting CX-U units. This procedure
assumes that you have followed all necessary procedures outlined above for your
application, such as in Adding DLPs or DDLPs to a Motherboard on page 5-6 (for
adding DLPs) or Adding a Redundant Backplane to Two Units on page 5-4 (for adding
redundant backplanes), as they apply to you, and are ready to mount the units onto a rack.
This procedure also assumes that you have ordered and received a fuse panel (CBPWXHD-3), and the CX-U vertical mounting hardware (CB-UVMH-10, consisting of a
pair of rails to hold up to ten CX-U units vertically). You will also need a heat deflector.
NOTE:
Vertical mounting of CX-U units are recommended when operating above an

ambient temperature of 25C. The harsh conditions or the cabling on each
side of the units can limit the air flow within the units.
The NEBS recommended operation temperature is 5C to 40C.
To vertically mount a CX-U unit, follow these steps:

1.
Install the fuse panel by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.
2.
Below the fuse panel, install the CX-U vertical mounting rails onto your standard 40/
44 U rack by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.
3.
Place the CX-U units, one at a time (or, in a redundant setup, two at a time) by
carefully turning them vertically, making sure the Memotec logo is on the bottom.
4.
Fasten the four retaining screws to the vertical mounting rails.
5.
Repeat until all units are installed (10 units maximum per row).
6.
If you are installing more than ten units, add the heat deflector below the first row of
ten CX-U units. Tighten all retaining screws to the rack.
7.
Repeat steps 1-6 for the next ten units (if necessary).
8.
Repeat, if necessary, for the last ten units.
Up to three rows of ten CX-U units can be mounted onto a standard 40/44 U rack. Each
row should be separated by a heat deflector, ensuring all units receive fresh air from the
bottom. See Figure 5-12 to see an actual setup.

A.4 Line Bypass Feature

This software-programmable feature insures that connections do not fail, even if the
equipment does.
A.4.1 Line Bypass in a 12 Port Setup

In a redundant setup, if power is lost on both unit A and unit B, the traffic coming into
channel #1 to #4 inputs is automatically directed to channel #9 to #12 outputs, and the
traffic coming to channel #9 to #12 inputs is directed to channel #1 to #4 outputs. This
bypass route is illustrated in Figure E-2.
