Hardware Packaging
2.1. GENERAL
The C-DOT 256 RAX is a member of the C-DOT family of Digital Switching
Systems, next to C-DOT 128 RAX. The system design is highly modular and hence
flexible towards the requirements of system size and technology updates.
The 256 RAX is packaged into a small cabinet of 1045mm x 580mm x 1080mm in
size, which accommodates two card frames (stacked one above the other, bottom
frame named as MASTER and top as SLAVE) and the power distribution panel.
Each card frame can house 26 cards (assembled Printed Circuit Boards). The
system circuitry is packaged into various card types - each card type represents a
functional unit of the system. Depending upon system size and features required, a
combination of these card types is used to configure the system.
The cards in a card frame are interconnected through the backplane (also called the
mother board), which is mounted on the card frame. The cards are jacked into the
card frames and connected to the mother board with the help of pluggable
connectors. Precautions are taken to ensure proper alignment of cards and jacking-
in of cards into right card slots.
Interconnections between master and slave frames are provided by means of inter
frame cabling.
The RAX cabinet is interconnected to its add on unit, the Maintenance Panel by
means of a connectorised cable. The maintenance panel - a desktop unit consisting
of LED indicators, push-button keys, liquid crystal display etc.- caters for the
operation and maintenance features of the C-DOT RAX. It also provides the
connections for the printer and a modem to communicate with Centralised
Operations and Maintenance Centre (COMaC), which is a software package for
remote Operation & Maintenance.
The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) provides interconnections between exchange
side terminations and line side terminations. It also provides a suitable
arrangement for incorporating protective devices.

2.2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF RAX
The C-DOT 256 RAX system has the following eight major constituents:
System Cabinet
Card Frames
Mother Board
Power Distribution Panel (PDP)
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)
Maintenance Panel
MDF
Power Equipment
2.2.1. System Cabinet
The 256 RAX system cabinet consists of the following parts:
The Main Cabinet frame
Horizontal plates
Side plates
Vertical cable routing trays
Dust filter
False panels
Cable clamps and covers
PDP Assembly
The cabinet is constructed with four vertical uprights with top and bottom
frames. The top and the bottom frames are welded to the vertical uprights.
Doors are provided on the front and rear side of the cabinet. A two point
locking arrangement with a handle is provided on both the front and rear
door.
The top cover is fixed to the top frame assembly and foot rests are welded to
the bottom frame. Mounting holes for fixing the cabinet on the floor are
provided in the foot rests.
The main cabinet has provisions for fixing two 128 card frames one over the
other. The bottom card frame is referred to as Master frame and the top card
frame is referred to as Slave frame.
At the top of the vertical uprights, two side plates are welded. Two horizontal
plates are also welded just above the master and slave mother boards. Both
Chapter 2
8 C-DOT 256P RAX
side plates and horizontal plates have holes at optimum distances over their
surface for tying the cables.
Vertical cable routing tray is provided on both sides of the cabinet. Cable
inlet and cable outlet are provided at the bottom end of the cable routing
tray. All the cables from the MDF, power cables, Maintenance Panel cables
are routed through this vertical cable routing tray by the use of two tier cable
clamps mounted one above the other and reinforced with a cover plate and
screws.
PDP assembly is provided at top of the cabinet on the front side. One
horizontal cable routing tray is provided just below the PDP for the routing of
filter cables. The design of the cabinet allows satisfactory operation of the
system in highly dusty environment. A dust filter is provided to avoid the
entry of dust into the cabinet. It has a separate framework which is slid
between the two foot rests from the front, and is held in position by the front
end screws.
The cabinet is designed such that the system is capable of working in a non-
air-conditioned environment with provision for circulation of air. False panels
at the bottom have ventilation slots to assist cooling by natural convection.
The dimensions of the RAX cabinet are 1045x580x1080 mm. Its weight
without the cards is approximately 150 kgs. The mounting of card frame
inside the cabinet is such that it facilitates easy access for maintenance.
2.2.2. Card Frames
In C-DOT 256 RAX, provision exists for housing two card frames. Each card
frame can accommodate 26 cards. But since the PSU card takes up two slots
space, only 24 cards can actually be accommodated. The card frames are slid
along guide angles and fixed in front by screws. These two card frames are
placed one over the other inside the cabinet. Figure 2.1 shows the front view
of the cabinet which shows clearly the master frame, slave frame, and power
distribution panel.

The mother board is mounted on the back side of the card frame. The cards
are jacked in, side by side in a plane perpendicular to that of the mother
board. The mother board is fixed in position using screws. The cards are
supported on the top and bottom by card guides. This ensures proper
alignment of the cards. A typical layout of the card frame is shown in Figure
2.2.
2.2.3. Mother Board
The mother board is a printed circuit board of dimensions 820x253mm (Refer
Figure 2.3). The tracks on the mother board provide interconnections
between cards. Soldering and wire wrapping are reduced to a minimum by
using the interconnecting tracks on the mother board.
Reverse Euro-male connectors are mounted on the mother board. The cards
have Euro-female connectors which plug-in to the corresponding male
connectors present on the mother board. On all cards except power supply
cards, 64 pin Euro connectors are used.
Use of pluggable connectors ensures quick replacement for maintenance and
repair purposes. For ease of jacking-in and pulling out of cards, card ejectors
are used. Polarising bars are mounted on the mother board, which ensures
that the control cards are not put in the wrong card slots. This reduces to a
minimum the possibility of damage to card circuitry due to wrong insertion of
a card into a card slot not meant for it.
2.2.4. Power Distribution Panel (PDP)
The power distribution panel (refer Fig. 2.4) is mounted on the top, front side
of the 256 RAX cabinet. PDP receives the -48V DC from the float charger
through a HRC fuse and distributes the load (-48V DC) power to PSUs (Copy
0 and Copy 1) of master and slave frames, voice (-48V DC) power to master
and slave frames and -48V DC power to maintenance panel (MP). All the
power outputs from the PDP are connectorised by using 4 pin polarised power
connectors. L-filters and slow blow glass fuses are used for all power outputs.
All the power outputs from the PDP are sensed and an audio output is
provided in case of any fuse failure. There is a provision to check the audio
and also to disable the sound.
The filter circuits are incorporated in a child card, with visual indication of
power availability. The child card concept is very useful for maintenance.
These filter cards are mounted on the PDP mother board. Finally the PDP
mother board is mounted on the PDP tray. Master ground bar, which is also
the system ground, is located at the bottom, on back side of RAX cabinet.

2.2.5. Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
Each card type in the system represents a functional unit. The functional
unit is further classified into functional blocks. The electronic components
comprising the circuit are mounted on printed circuit boards (PCB)/cards.
Each card is of dimensions 304.8mm x 254mm (Refer Fig. 2.5).
Two layer and four layer cards are used depending upon circuit complexity,
component layout and component density. Heat dissipating components like
power transistors and power supply regulators are mounted with heat sinks.
In case heavy components are mounted on the card, proper stiffening
precautions are taken. All the system cards as per its configuration are
jacked into the designated slots in master and slave frames.
Each card is provided with two Euro-female connectors which when inserted
in the card frame, mate with the Euro-male connectors on the mother board.
The connectors on the PCB can either be 64-pin or 96-pin depending upon the
requirement. In case of Power Supply cards, since the current drawn on each
of the supplies is considerably high, 96-pin Euro-connectors are used and pins
are shorted to share the load.
The following are the types of cards used in the system:
i) Line Card (LCC) Interfaces analog subscriber line
terminations.(Capacity: 8 terminations/
Card)
ii) CCM Card Interfaces analog coin collection box
subscriber or PBX lines.
It also provides 16KHz metering pulses
on 7th and 8th circuit for STD
PCO/Home metering. (Capacity: 8
terminations/ card)
iii) Two-Way Trunk Card Interfaces two wire (TWT)analog trunk
lines. Capacity: 8 terminations/ card)
iv) 4-Wire E&M Card Interfaces analog carrier (EMF)
circuits using E&M signalling.
(Capacity: 8 terminations/ card)
v) RAX Announcement Announcements and tones are stored
cum Tone Card (RAT) as digital samples in RAT and are
available at the respective port
outputs or channels.

Site Plan
3.1. GENERAL
This chapter provides general information about site planning before the
installation of C-DOT 256 Port RAX system. The main requirements are:
Floor space
Environmental conditions
Power supply
A typical layout is shown in Fig. 3.1.
Before the installation of C-DOT 256 Port RAX system, the site should be made
ready with the following:
3.1.1. Floor Space
The system needs an enclosure of 3.5m x 3.5m with a ceiling height of 2.9m
to accommodate the system cabinet, a table on which MP and printer are
placed, the power supply source or the Float charger, the Main Distribution
Frame and the Transmission Equipment (if necessary).
For the battery sets, a separate room of 2.5m x 2.5m is required as it releases
the acid fumes which would corrode the other equipments if placed in the
switch room.
3.1.2. Environmental Conditions
The switch room, where the system and other equipment are installed should
be cool and dust free. The illumination should be 300 lux or 2 number of
paired fluorescent tubes should be made available, placed with a gap of 1.5m
between them.
The battery room should be well ventilated to clear the acid fumes released
by battery sets. The walls and the wood work should be given acid resistant
coating. The floor of the battery room should have a drain to clear the acid
spills. The battery sets should be placed in such a way that no direct sunlight
falls on any of the battery sets.

SITE PLAN
3.2. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The C-DOT 256 RAX system requires uninterrupted -48V DC supply derived from
single phase 50Hz 230V 10% commercial AC supply. The power plant is of float
type with float rectifier-cum-charger which floats two sets of 24 cell and 120 AH
each, lead acid batteries across its output.
The output of the battery should be able to supply power to the system and to the
transmission equipment if required.
The float charger should accept 230V 10%, single phase, 50Hz AC supply as input
and provide 48V DC at the output. On failure of the mains supply the battery sets
deliver the power. On restoration of mains, the float charger would not only supply
power to the system (s) but also charge the battery.
3.3. EARTHING SYSTEM
A perfect earthing should be provided mainly to ensure:
reduction in cross talk and noise in the telecommunication circuits;
protection of the system against dangerous foreign voltages;
protection of person and plants against leakage from station power wiring to
metallic apparatus, frames etc.
There are many earthing systems adopted by the telecommunication department.
One of the earthing systems is adopted depending upon the type of soil resistance.
The prime requirement is the earth resistance and it should not exceed 2 ohm even
at extreme conditions. Some of the Earthing Systems which are commonly
employed are:
i) Spike Earth Electrode System:
This is generally provided at all new automatic exchanges where adequate
space is available around the exchange and where sub soil is suitable for
driving in the pipes to a depth of 375 cms.
ii) Lead Strip Electrode System:
This type of earthing system is employed where adequate space is available
but rock is encountered in less than 375 cms from ground level.
iii) Earth Plate Electrode System:
This type of earthing system is employed when the layout of the exchange
site is such that adequate space is not available to install.
The earthing cable, a Bare Tinned Copper (BTC) wire of 19/1.6mm or 100/300 lb
copper wire or 7/16 cable with red insulation should be terminated on a copper bar
of 25mm x 6mm x 200mm (typical). The copper bar also called Earth Bus Bar
Chapter 3
22 C-DOT 256P RAX
should be placed close to earth pit. The Earth Bus Bar is fixed to the wall at a
convenient height by means of screws but insulated from the wall. This bus bar
would be the reference for all the grounds provided in the system. See Fig. 3.2 for
the various terminations on earth bus bar.
3.4. LOCAL PURCHASE ITEMS AND TOOLS
The items to be procured locally at site by the local authorities are listed in Table
3.1.
Make sure that these locally procured items are made available before the starting
of Installation.
3.5. EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT
The RAX cabinet, the float charger and the transmission equipment should be
placed at least 1m away from the wall to ensure comfortable system installation
and maintenance. Fix the locations for the various units in the switch room and if
necessary, mark the location using the following guide lines:
Fix the location of the MDF. It has to be fixed onto the wall. It is preferable
to have the MDF close to the earth bus bar and external cable inlet. The
distance between the system and the MDF should not exceed 5m.
A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) for a single phase 230V 10% AC should
be provided near the location of the float charger.
Run the PVC conduit (square or circular cross section) of 60mm side or dia
from the location of RAX cabinet to the power plant, MDF, earth bus bar and
the battery.
Run PVC conduits from transmission equipment to the MDF.
Similarly, run another cable (7/16 cable with red colour insulation) with one
end terminated on the Earth Bus Bar and the other end left free near the
location of float charger.
Run a cable (7/16 cable with red colour insulation) terminating one end on
Earth Bus Bar and leaving the other end free near the location of MDF.
Bring the external cables through the PVC conduits and leave them free near
the location of MDF.
Run the cable from the transmission equipment to the MDF through the PVC
conduits.

slot position 26A and 26B the connectors are not provided)
Check that no bare or open ended wire is hanging on the mother board.
Check that PDP is fixed firmly at its place.
Check that the Fast-on connectors are fully inserted into the tabs on the
mother board (This ensures 48V on the mother board. Refer to the
corresponding drawings/tables in Chapter 6, if required).
Check that all the inter-frame cable connectors are firmly fixed to the male
connectors on the backplane. The cable markers are given above every
connector of these cables. Ensure that cables are placed at their proper
places. In case these are supplied separately, place these on the proper
positions at backplane referring to the cable details in Chapter 6. Table 6.1
gives the details of the cables and their terminations on the mother board.
Except for GGR2, GGR3 and GGR4 all cables are terminated on mother
board at one end.
Check the connectors for any damage on the back plane.
5.4. ASSEMBLING THE CABINET

followed for assembling:
Installant has an option of putting the plinth below the RAX. Four holes are
to be drilled on the floor, according to the plinth (if plinth is to be used) or
else according to the RAX cabinet.
Place the screws (if plinth is used then use screws defined for plinth, if not,
use screws which are to be used for RAX) in the holes, fix them with plugging
compound and let it dry for some time.
Place the plinth/RAX over the screws and use nuts to tighten the plinth/RAX.
If using plinth then put the RAX on the plinth (after fixing plinth as in above
step) and use nuts and bolts to tighten the RAX.
After fixing RAX, place the false panels and fix them.
Chapter 5
30 C-DOT 256P RAX
5.5. UNPACKING THE MAINTENANCE PANEL/PRINTER
Cut the straps of the CFB box and open the box.
Take out the Maintenance Panel/Printer unit from the box and remove the
polythene cover over it. Place the unit on the table near the cabinet.
Preserve the box, as this is reusable for transportation during maintenance
or obtaining spares.
5.6. SYSTEM INTERCONNECTIONS
Get the subscriber/trunk cables, prepared according to the configuration and route
them through left and right side trays (refer section 6.3). One end of each cable is to
be connected to the respective mating sockets on the back plane. Other end of the
cables are to be properly routed to MDF (refer chapter 6)
5.6.1. System Earthing
Connect GGR4 cable on RAX master bus bar fitted on bottom panel at
rear side of RAX cabinet.
Run the wire through the cable entry and cable clamps.
Run the wire through the PVC conduit upto the earth bus bar.
Terminate the wire on the earth bus bar.
5.6.2. Power Supply Connection
Terminate the wires which are extended from the power plant as follows:
The Black wire should be terminated on -48V point on PDP.
The Red wire should be terminated on GND point on PDP.
Check that power supply connections and groundings are proper by
comparing with the Fig. 4.1.
5.6.3. Peripheral Unit Interconnections
MP is to be placed on table and two cables - MP power cable and MP
interface cable, coming out of RAX will be terminated on MP. Connect a
suitable 80/132 column Industry Standard Printer.
5.6.4. Exchange Side Terminations on MDF
Insert the MDF cables into the cable entries (left hand side cables on
LHS cable entry and right hand side cables in RHS cable entry) and
pull them out through cable clamps.
Run the cables through PVC conduits upto the MDF.
Cut the cables of required length with margin.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Lace the cables properly onto the MDF structure.
The a- and b- wires from the subscribers side are terminated on the adjacent
columns of this connector block and the corresponding terminals in that
column are left free in order to accommodate the jumper wire coming from
the other connector block. The subscriber lines are connected to the RAX by
providing this jumper.
Single strand, multi pair cables should be used for making the connections on
these connector blocks. The tags on these connector blocks automatically
strip the insulation from a wire and make contact with it when a wire is
inserted into it. In order to terminate the wires on these connector blocks, use
the insertion tool provided with the installation tool kit and proceed as
follows:
Take the first 32 pair cable.
Remove the PVC insulation and terminate the 8 pairs which have
white transparent polythene wrapper on the connector module
pertaining to the subscriber/trunk lines.
The next three units with polythene wrapper yellow, brown and blue
should be terminated on their respective connector blocks.
5.6.4.1. Termi nati on of 8 Pai rs Uni t
Termination of 8 pairs unit on the MDF should be done as follows:
Route the cable such that the cable enters through one of the cable
inlets on the back mount plane frame.
Remove the insulation, fan out the other units (A unit consists of 8
pairs of wires and wrapped with a coloured transparent polythene).
Take the first unit, unwrap the wrapper.
Place the connector module in its location. Place the wires in the same
order as designated.
Using the insertion tool insert the conductor into the slots of connector
module.
After completing the terminations on one connector module place the
next connector module, insert the conductors into the slots using the
same tool.
5.6.4.2. E & M Trunk Termi nati on
E & M (4-wire voice) (Refer Fig. 5.1)
The E&M (4-wire voice) Trunk Card basically interfaces the digital switching
exchange with E&M trunk lines. There are 4-wires for voice (2-wire for voice-
Chapter 5
32 C-DOT 256P RAX
in and 2-wire voice-out) and 2-wires for signalling (one for signalling in each
direction) per trunk line.
In case of E&M wire coming from the transmission equipment, line side
termination is not necessary because normally protection is provided on
transmission equipment itself.
Each 32 pair round cable consists of 4 subunits having sleeve colour as white,
yellow, brown and blue. In case of E&M termination white sleeved subunit is
connected to Tip and Ring (IN) of Exchange. Yellow sleeved subunit is
connected to TIP and Ring (out) of Exchange and brown sleeved subunit is
connected to E&M of the exchange.
If we are not using EMF card in slot 3,4,5 and 6 of master and slave frame,
then the termination of 8 circuits are according to following colour scheme.
If more than 8 E&M cards are required than they must be procured
separately & their cables should also be purchased separately. Their
terminations can be done as per requirement on the existing MDF (if some
space exists), else new MDF is required.

5.6.4.4. J umperi ng
It is the inter-connection of exchange side connector blocks and line side
connector blocks. In exchange side connector block we have 8 termination and
in line side connector block we have 10 terminations. Jumpering is done
between them according to requirement, with red and white single strand
wires.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
5.7. RAX SETUP
Open the box consisting of all the cards. Pull out the card from the individual
box and insert into the card cage frame with connectors facing card frame
and components facing your right hand side.
A typical configuration of RAX is shown in Fig. 5.5, after inserting all the
cards (Printed Circuit Boards).
If CCB subscribers are existing, one of the line cards can be replaced by a
CCM line card. (The CCM equipped in any trunk card slot, used as ring down
trunks, cannot be used for CCB subscribers).
If STD-PCO subscribers are existing, then one of the line cards can be
replaced with CCM card. Only last 2 ports of CCM card i.e. 7th and 8th port
have provision to extend the 16 KHz pulses. Rest of the ports can be used for
CCB subscribers.
NOTE:
By just placing CCM card in a slot does not mean that those services will be
provided unless that particular slot is programmed CCB line with home
metering facility.
For ring down facility use TWT/CCM card - the slot for which can be
programmed for ring down.
Open the other box which consists of PSU cards. Pull out the cards and insert
into slot 1 and 25 of master and slave frame. Before inserting check that the
switches are OFF.
If trunk offer is required at a particular site then Conference Card (CNF) is
must. CNF card can be placed in 7th slot of Master Frame. However, if trunk
offer facility is not required then this slot can be used for placing any
Line/Trunk Card. Conference Card provides facility for 3 party conference i.e.
simultaneous conversation between two subscribers and an operator.

Cabling and Cable Routing
6.1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the different types of cables used and the cable routing in
C-DOT 256 RAX system. Certain cables are prepared in the factory for which length
is known. The cables for which lengths are site dependent may require their
preparation at site.
6.2. CABLES
The different types of cables used in C-DOT 256 RAX are:
Termination cables
Inter-frame cables
Power cables
Maintenance panel cables
Ground wires
6.2.1. Termination Cables
32 pair termination cables are standardised for interconnections between
the C-DOT 256 RAX mother boards and the MDF, for normal subscribers or
2-way trunk lines or 4-wire E&M lines.
In case of 4-wire E&M lines, 8 trunk circuits in a card and 6 wires per trunk
circuit is used, thus a total of 24 pairs of wire are used. The 24 pairs of wire
are crimped in single 2x32 connector and housed in a hood, to latch with the
mother board Euro-connectors. Fig 6.1 shows the E&M trunk cable details
and Fig.6.2 to 6.5 show the rear view of master and slave frames with E&M
termination cable connectors.
In case of 2-wire trunk and subscriber lines, the 32 pair cable is divided into
4 groups of 8 pairs each and connected to four line circuit/trunk cards. Eight
pairs are connected to two 7x2 connectors and housed in a hood, to latch with
the mother board euro connectors. The Fig. 6.6 shows the subscriber/trunk
cable details and Fig. 6.7 to Fig. 6.9 shows the rear view of the master and
CABLING AND CABLE ROUTING
slave frame with trunk/subscriber termination cable connectors. By default
RAX has the provision for 4 E&M cables in each frame.
The 32 pair cable consists of four bunches of 8 pairs, the individual bunches
have been colour coded. The details are given in section 6.4. A total of 14, 32
pair termination cables are used in C-DOT 256 RAX.
The C-DOT 256 RAX system may also be configured for two Digital Trunk
units, one in master frame and the other in slave frame.
RAX Digital Trunk units (RDS) provides 32 channel PCM digital trunk
interface. Thus, it can substitute four line/ termination cards. Therefore, if
digital trunk cards are used, two 32 pair cables (one each in master and slave
frame) that are landing on 4 line termination cards in slave frame are
substituted by a single shielded twisted 8 pair digital cable. This cable is
brought to the system from the MDF. At the system end, the cable is split
into two pairs. First 2 pairs goes to the master frame digital trunk card and
the next 2 pairs are terminated on the slave frame digital trunk card. The
remaining 4 pairs are left free and can be used for future expansions, if any.
(Refer Fig. 6.10).
6.2.2. Inter-Frame Cables
The logical signals like PCM clock, PCM channels and ACIA signals from the
master frame RSC Copy 0 and RSC Copy 1 to slave frame RSC Copy 0 and
RSC Copy 1 on slot no. 12 and 15 respectively are cross connected by the use
of 7x2 twisted pair flat cables IFC0 - IFC3. These cables are crimped with
7x2 connector and connected to the mother board connector which has latch
mechanism. The test access bus signals and common reset on slot no. 2 of the
master frame to slave frame connection also use the same type 7x2 pair
twisted flat cable marked as IFC4. These cables are crimped with 7x2
connector and latched with the mother board Euro-connector.
6.2.3. Power Cables
Single wire 2-core and 4-core cables are standardised for system grounding,
input power and primary power to frames respectively within the system for
power cabling. The cables are clearly mentioned in the subsequent sections.

56 C-DOT 256P RAX
6.2.3.1. I nput Power
C-DOT 256 RAX operates with the standard power supply voltage of -48V 4
V DC. Float charger (with a standby DC battery) output of -48V DC is fed to
the power distribution panel circuitry. A high current carrying 2-core cable is
used from the float charger to the PDP input. Fig. 6.11 shows the cable
details. The colour coding for this power cable is as below:
RED = GROUND
BLACK = 48V DC
The input power connection to the PDP is mentioned clearly in Fig. 6.12.
6.2.3.2. Power Di stri buti on Panel (PDP) Ci rcui t
All the primary power required for the system is distributed by the PDP
circuitry. The power from the float charger is fed to four filter circuits
through a HRC fuse. There is a visual indication for the input power. All the
filter circuits are incorporated on the child cards, which in turn are connected
to the PDP mother board. The four filter circuits will generate the primary
power for the Copy 0 and Copy 1 PSU cards, voice and ring for the master
and slave frames. All the filter circuits are provided with a fuse and LED
indication. Any fuse failure will generate an audio buzzer sound and visual
indication. There is a provision to disable the audio sound by operating a
toggle switch. All the filter outputs are connectorised. The buzzer and the
sensing circuitry will get the power from the input -48V DC through a fuse.
In addition, there is one more 4 pin connector which will provide the power to
maintenance panel through a fuse.
6.2.3.3. Master and Sl ave Frame Power
Basically three types of -48V DC is required as a primary power to the
master and slave frames. They are Load power (-48V DC), Voice power (-48V
DC) and Ring power (-48V DC). Two load powers derived from two separate
filters are connected to Copy 0 and Copy 1 of master and slave frames. At the
PDP side the cables are connected to the 4-pin male connector and at the
mother board side they are terminated with the four way male header power
connector.

cables are routed along the right side of the cabinet, FILTER 3 and FILTER
4 power cables are routed along the left side of the cabinet. The maintenance
panel power cable is routed along the right side of the cabinet.
All the required secondary voltages like +5V, -12V, -9V, +12V and 75V RMS
are generated by the power supply cards. All these voltage buses run along
the mother board. The subscriber voltage bus is connected to Voice -48V DC.
The ringer bus is connected to Ring -48V DC.
6.2.4. Maintenance Panel Power Cable
The primary power to the maintenance panel is supplied from the PDP. A 2-
core power cable is used to supply the power to maintenance panel. PDP side
of the power cable is connected to a 4-pin male connector and the MP side is
connected with a 4 pin female connector. The colour coding of the cable is as
below:
RED = GROUND
BLACK = 48V DC
This power cable is tied along with the maintenance panel cable (7x2 pair
round cable) and connected to the MP as shown in Figure 6.13.
All the voltages required for the MP operation are derived from this primary
power of -48V DC.

6.2.5. Maintenance Panel Cable
RAX Administrative processor (RAP) (Copy 0 and Copy 1) RS232 signals from
the master frame connector 2A to maintenance panel are brought out
through a 7x2 round cable. In addition, a 2-core power cable is used to carry
the power from the PDP to maintenance panel. (Ref. Fig. 6.13).
6.2.6. Grounding Scheme
The grounding scheme for the 256 RAX follows the concept of SINGLE-
POINT GROUNDING. This scheme uses MASTER GROUND POINT to
provide a zero reference potential to ground for the entire system. The master
ground point is located at the back of RAX, where all the ground reference
points within the system and from the MDF are commoned.
The power, system and signal grounds existing within the system, mother
board ground of master frame, mother board ground of a slave frame, cable
entry power supply ground, MDF protection assembly ground and all the
accessible and exposed metallic elements like the system frame, cabinet iron
framework, PDP chassis are commoned at the master ground point at master
ground bus bar at the bottom of RAX on the back side as shown in Fig. 6.14.
The wires used for all the grounding purpose is a multi-strand single core of
BLACK colour (48 strands of 0.2 mm each).
Mother board ground wire of master and slave frame has a round lug on
master ground bus bar point side and fast on-tab on mother board side. All
other ground wires have lugs on both the sides. Refer Fig. 6.15 for MDF-
Ground Bus Bar cable details.
Note: Ensure that -48V GND from PDP (Cable GGR2) terminated on RAX
Ground Bus Bar.
At the backplane of the mother board, the Ground for +5V DC (is referred as
the SIGNAL GROUND) of all the card GROUND pins are terminated on the
tin plated copper bus bar of rectangular cross-section.
A low-resistance copper conductor is used to connect the master ground bus
bar at MDF to the earth. The connection to earth may be a simple driver
ground rod through chemically treated or untreated wet soil. A black wire
from this to master ground baris connected to MDF protector assembly
ground (Fig 6.14).

6.3. CABLE ROUTING
All the cables (termination cables, maintenance panel cable, power cable and
ground cable) are routed vertically with the help of the two tier cable clamps. The
cable clamps will be mounted one above the other and reinforced with a cover plate
and screws.
Each cable clamp consists of one bigger slot and one smaller slot. The bigger slots
are used exclusively to route 32x2 pair round cables. The smaller slots areused to
route power, ground and maintenance panel cables. The following sections will
describe the routing of termination cables, inter-frame cables, maintenance panel
cables, power cables and ground Cables.
The cross sectional view of the right side and left side cable trays are shown clearly
in Fig. 6.16 and it shows the routing of all the cables on left hand side & right hand
side cable tray with cable ties.
6.3.1. Termination Cable Routing
A total of Fourteen 32 pair round cables are used as termination cables in the
system.
They are as follows:
4 E&M cables from the master frame
4 E&M cables from the slave frame
3 trunk/subscriber cables from the master frame
3 trunk/subscriber cables from the slave frame
Viewing from the rear side of the cabinet, the E&M cables are routed on the
right side. The master frame E&M cables are accommodated on the top layer
of the cable clamp and the slave frame E&M cables are accommodated on the
bottom layer of cable clamp. The 2 way trunk/subscriber cables are routed on
the left side of the cabinet. The master frame 2-way trunk/subscriber cables
are accommodated on the top layer of the cable clamp and the slave frame 2
way trunk/subscriber cables on the bottom layer. Cable ties are used at the
front edge of the horizontal plate for all the cables. 2 way trunk/local
subscriber cables are divided into 4 groups of 8 pair each at the horizontal
plate and routed to the appropriate connectors. Fig. 6.16 shows the complete
details of all the EMF cable routing and termination cable routing with cable
clamp and cable ties.
If digital trunk card is used, then one shielded twisted 8 pair digital cable is
routed on the left side of the cabinet. It is routed along the bottom layer of
the cable clamp in place of one 2 way trunk/subscriber cable.
6.3.2. Inter-Frame Cable Routing
These cables are connected to the horizontal plates near to slot no. 14 of the
frames with the help of cable ties. All the 4, 7x2 twisted pair flat cables with
connector from the master frame to slave frame are tied to the horizontal
plate using cable ties. Similarly, the 7x2 twisted pair flat cable near to the
slot no. 2 is routed through the horizontal plate.
6.3.3. Maintenance Panel (MP) Cable Routing
Two-core power cable from PDP and 7x2 twisted pair round cable from slot
2A of master frame are tied together and the other end goes to maintenance
panel. The 2-core power cable from PDP is routed through the side plate,
then through the smaller slot of bottom layer on the right side of the vertical
Chapter 6
66 C-DOT 256P RAX
cable tray by using cable ties. After the cables reach the entry point both
these cables are tied together by use of cable ties till it reaches the
maintenance panel. Inside the MP, these cables are tied with the PCB. Fig.
6.13 shows the routing of MP cables.
6.3.4. Power Cable Routing
High current carrying 2-core input power cable from the float charger is
routed to the PDP, through the smaller slot of the bottom layer (viewing from
rear side) of right side vertical cable tray. This cable is tied on the right side
plate at appropriate places with cable ties.
4-core, FILTER 1, load power cable from the PDP and 2-core, FILTER 2, ring
power cable are routed through the smaller slot of the top layer (view from
rear side) of the right side, vertical cables tray to the master and slave
mother boards. These cables are routed from the PDP to mother boards via
PDP tray, right side plate and right side vertical cable tray. These cables are
tied on PDP tray and side plate at the appropriate places.
4-core, FILTER 3, and FILTER 4, load and voice power cables from PDP to
the master and slave mother boards are routed through the PDP tray, left
side plate and the smaller slot of the top layer of the left side, vertical cable
tray. These cables are tied on the PDP tray and side plate accordingly.
6.3.5. Ground Cable Routing
Single core, multi strand black cable is used for system grounding. A ground
wire coming from the MDF master bus bar, master frame and slave frame
each are routed through the .pa bottom layer, smaller slot of the right side
vertical cable tray, and right side, side plate to the ground bar on the back
side of RAX (near bottom). These cables are tied on the side plate by use of
cable ties. In addition, input ground and cabinet frame ground are also
connected to the master ground bar, at PDP.
Fig.6.14 shows the ground bus bar at the back of RAX with all the ground
wires and the routing of cabinet frame and input power grounding wires.
6.4. COLOUR CODING AND IDENTIFICATION SCHEME FOR CABLES
The cable colour coding scheme is used to identify the various number of wires in a
cable. The colour coding scheme is mainly used to ease the assembly and
connectorisation of cables. It also helps to identify the power cables and ground
cables from the signal cables.

The cable identification scheme is developed with an aim of distinguishing one cable
from the other, thereby classifying them into various categories.
The identification scheme assisted with the cable colour coding scheme provides
complete identity to a cable.
The cable identifier or simply cable marker which shall be used over every distinct
cable or cable units visible, would be placed over the cable or a connector attached
to the cable. The cable markers are a group of alphanumerical characters dry
transferred to the connector housing of the cable.
6.4.1. Colour Coding
The following colour coding scheme for wires and cables is used in C-DOT 256
RAX system.
Colour code for backplane straps
Colour code for 32 pair round cable
Colour code for 8 pair round cable
Colour code for 7 pair twist and flat cables
Colour code for power and ground cables
Grey colour external PVC sheathed cables are used for a signal carrying
cables and black colour external PVC sheathed are used for all power and
ground cables. This is done mainly to distinguish between the signal and
power cables.
6.4.1.1. Col our Code for Backpl ane Straps
For all backplane straps of the mother board, a standard 28 SWG teflon wire
is used for wire wrapping. The colour of these wires is WHITE.
6.4.1.2. Col our Code for 32 Pai r Round Cabl e
The 32 pair round cable consists of four sub-units of cable bunches. Each unit
has a distinct colour code. It is as follows:
Cable Unit Number Cable Unit Colour Code
1. WHITE
2. YELLOW
3. BROWN
4. BLUE
Further, each cable unit consists of 8 twisted pair wires. The colour coding for
these are discussed in the section 6.4.1.3.
Chapter 6
72 C-DOT 256P RAX
6.4.1.3. Col our Code for 8 Pai r Twi sted Pai r Round Cabl e
Whenever twisted pairs are grouped together in a cable unit or a cable, they
would be given a colour coding as given in the table below. Since the wires
exist in twisted pairs, if each pair possesses a unique colour combination,
then it is possible to identify every wire in the cable as below:
For 8 pair round cables
Pair No. Wire Pair and Colour Code
Wire a Wire b
1. BLUE (WH)
*
WHITE (BL)
2. ORANGE (WH) WHITE (OR)
3. GREEN (WH) WHITE (GN)
4. BROWN (WH) WHITE (BR)
5. GREY (WH) WHITE (BR)
6. BLUE (RD) RED (BL)
7. ORANGE (RD) RED (OR)
8. GREEN (RD) RED (GN)
NOTE: Blue (WH) indicates the blue wire which is twisted around the
white wire.
6.4.1.4. Col our Code for 7 Pai r Twi st and Fl at Cabl e
In case of flat cables which are used in 256 P RAX, which consists of seven
pairs, the colour code scheme is as follows:
Pair No. Wire Pair and Colour Code
Wire a Wire - b
1. BROWN PINK
2. RED PINK
3. ORANGE PINK
4. YELLOW PINK
5. GREEN PINK
6. BLUE PINK
7. VIOLET PINK
It can be observed that in this case, every pair has a common Pink colour
wire twisted with it. The other wire in the pair gives the colour identity for
the pair.
6.4.1.5. Col our Code for Power and Ground Cabl es
The C-DOT 256P RAX operates on -48V DC power for its operation and for
analog line feeds. Since the -48V ground cable is relatively more positive
compared to the power -48V DC cables, the ground cable is identified by
RED whereas the -48V power cable by BLACK.
Note that this GROUND cable is the power ground which totally carries the
return current unlike the other ground like chassis ground which normally
doesnt carry any current.
The digital ground cable which provides the OV reference for all digital
circuits, the chassis ground cables which connects the cabinet frame, input
power ground cable, and MDF- master bus bar ground are given a colour code
BLACK.
This summarises the colour coding for power and ground cables.

Sl. No. Category Colour Code
1. POWER DISTRIBUTION
a. Power: -48V DC BLACK
b Ground (return) RED
2 GROUND NETWORK
a. Master & Slave digital Ground BLACK
b. Chassis Ground BLACK
c. Natural Ground (to EARTH
BUS BAR)
BLACK
All the power cables have a Black colour external sheathed PVC sheathing.
6.4.1.6. Li st of Cabl es Used i n C-DOT 256 RAX

Chapter 7.
Power on Procedure
7.1. POWER ON PROCEDURE
Following steps should be observed while switching on the RAX:
Before switching the system ON check that the battery sets are fully charged.
Check that Green LEDs on both the PSU cards of two frames light up.
Put all the four PSUs ON.
The display on the maintenance panel should be Duplex Copy 0 Active after
some initial message RAP X Link Failure.
Press the reset button on the RAP card in the card slot 14 of master frame.
(This would reset the card and update the information with the one stored in
copy 0 of RAP so that both the cards will have the same information).
7.2. EXCHANGE DATA PREPARATION
Before the site specific installation can be started, the following details are to be
furnished by the planning wing of respective circle or district of DOT as the case
may be.
i) Trunking requirement for networking with existing exchanges.
ii) Numbering plan for the proposed exchange alongwith capacity requirements
at the time of cutover, proposed expansion and the ultimate capacity
expected.
iii) List of exchanges presently working in the network, their type and make, list
of exchanges in network expected to be closed down within next three years.
iv) List of exchanges expected to be installed in the network in next three years.
v) Routing details for various directions alongwith trunk grouping.
vi) Following details are available for outgoing, incoming and transit routes.
Direction codes
Trunk groups with constituent directions (routes)
Line signalling
Register signalling
Traffic for each trunk group
POWER ON PROCEDURE
Number of trunks in each trunk group
Rank of digit
Number of digits expected from I/C routes
Alternate routes
vii) Number of subscribers and hardware facilities and service type to be
provided to each subscriber.
7.3. PROGRAMMING
Once all the cards are jacked in and system is powered on then, one should do the
programming as follows:
i) Login as user & define unique Super user password for the system.
ii) First of all each card slot is to be configured according to cards placed in the
slots. Type and number of cards to be used of each type depends upon the
data collected in previous section.
iii) Add exchange code.
iv) Open the level/directions required for networking that particular exchange
and program the digit analysis for each opened directions/level.
v) Set the date, day and time of the exchange.
vi) Add the subscribers according to the plan already made (i.e. which subscriber
is to be added to which frame/slot/circuit). Give the required facilities and
services to each subscriber.
vi) Make trunk groups according to requirement and add the circuits to the
trunk groups. Set the parameters of the trunk group according to the type of
the trunk group (i.e. incoming, outgoing and bothway) and program the rank
of digits, signalling type, etc.
vii) Create a route, add it to required level and add the relevant trunk groups to
the route. Program the charge categories and route categories and other
parameters.
ix) Program the route restriction (i.e. can a call coming from one route category
go to other route category).
x) Program the charge rate index according to the metering required. Program
the charge rate matrix/table for each type of day (i.e. normal, sunday, special
and holiday).
xi) Test line to line call and call to each direction incoming as well as outgoing.
xii) RAX is installed & ready for use.
Note: For detailed commands, please refer to C-DOT 256 RAX
