1 Function
This subrack has 17 positions for plug-in units and can be equipped with the necessary
units to build 2 complete first order multiplexer systems.
This variant is the non-EMC version of the subrack and can be used with board variants
without EMC frontplates (except the QEXA card), but equipped with stiffeners instead.

1 (master) PCMC unit in position 1;

the CSU's are mounted in the positions 2 to 7 :
 the CSU's in position 2 to 4 are connected to the internal bus 1;
 the CSU's in position 5 to 7 are connected to the internal bus 2.
Multiplexer 2 is equipped in the positions 9 to 15 :

1 (master) PCMC unit in position 15;

the CSU's are mounted in the positions 9 to 14 :
 the CSU's in position 12 to 14 are connected to the internal bus 1;
 the CSU's in position 9 to 11 are connected to the internal bus 2.
Remarks :

if the CNCC (in position 16) is not equipped, a redundant ringer/power unit can be
mounted in this position.

in case of channel drop and insert, a slave PCM controller unit can be mounted in any
position if it is addressable by the CNCC : refer to Setting of system addresses.

the subrack is primarily intended to be used with channel units (CSU's) with 5 channels
per unit (or occupying 5 time slots on the internal bus). However, other channel units
can be mounted as well. Channel units with different signalling types can be
combined in one subrack and in one multiplexer.

when the channels on the CSU's occupy more than 30 time slots, at least one CSU
should be placed in such a position that the corresponding channels are connected to
bus 2. In this way the system configuration can be adapted, if required, by means of
man-machine commands only and without the need to rearrange the boards in the
subrack.

an integrated line test unit ILTAUS can be mounted in any position if it is addressable
by the CNCC : refer to Setting of system addresses.

auxiliary units, if required, can be placed on any of the remaining places.

In case 1511BA with clock protection a slave PCM controller unit can be mounted:
 in position 2 or 3 for multiplexer 1
 in position 13 or 14 for multiplexer 2

6 Switch settings on the backpanel

The switches on the backpanel of the subrack are shown on figure 2. They can only be
reached if no units are mounted on the subrack.
The DIL switches S701 and S702 are used to set the Q1 bus addresses if no QEXA board is
equipped in the subrack:

If a QEXA board is equipped in the subrack, S701 and S702 must be set in the OFF
position.

If no QEXA board is equipped in the subrack, S701 and S702 must be set in the ONN
position.
The switch S700 has to be set according to the equipped unit in position 16 of the subrack
: CNCC or redundant ringer/power (PWR).

7 Setting of the system addresses
2 multiplexer systems can be mounted on this subrack. The Q1 bus addresses for the
systems on the subrack are set by means of switches on the QEXA unit in position 17. For
some general information, refer to section 3 of the manual : installation.

Note The addresses can also be set by means of switches on the backpanel of the
subrack : however, this method can only be used on the following conditions :

the CNCC is mounted on the subrack;

there is no need to extend the Q1 bus to other subracks;

the other functionalities of the QEXA unit (access for synchronization clock
input or output, access for auxiliary alarm inputs) are not required.

If the address setting is realized by means of the switches on the QEXA unit, all
ATTENTION switches on the backpanel of the subrack have to be open.

8 System address setting by means of QEXA
The addressing is realized by means of the switches S301 and S302 (Enable A) and S401
and S402 (Enable B) on the QEXA unit (see figure 1).
This subrack enables different exploitation modes :

in the normal exploitation 2 units of each multiplexer system can be addressed;

an extended exploitation makes it possible to address 4 units of each multiplexer
system or all units on the subrack.
Normal exploitation
4 consecutive numbers (within the same group of 8) are assigned to the subrack (so 4
addresses per subrack). Selection is achieved by setting 5 switches in the ON position :

one switch of S301 is set to ON to select a group of 8 addresses (the other switches of
S301 and all switches of S302 are set to OFF);

the first 4 switches of S401 are set to ON if the first 4 addresses of the group have to
be used (the other switches of S401 and all switches of S402 are set to OFF);

the 4 switches of S402 are set to ON if the last 4 addresses of the group have to be
used (all switches of S401 are set to OFF).
Example : system addresses 17 to 20 Value OFF ON OFF ON Value
0 1 1 1

address 17 = 16 + 1 = position S301 : 3 and S401 : 1 8 2 2 2

The addresses are assigned to the units on the subrack as follows :

the 1st address belongs to the PCM controller unit in position 15 (2nd multiplexer) and
the main ringer power unit RGPA in position 8;

the 2nd address belongs to the PCM controller unit in position 1 (1st multiplexer) and
the redundant ringer power unit RGPA in position 7 or 16, if provided;

the 3rd address belongs to the unit in position 14 (Slave PCM controller of 2nd
multiplexer or ILTAUS);

the 4th address belongs to the unit in position 2 (Slave PCM controller of 1st
multiplexer or ILTAUS).

Extended addressing exploitation with 8 addresses

8 consecutive numbers (i.e. 1 group of 8) are assigned to the subrack. Selection is
achieved by setting 9 switches in the ON position :

one switch of S301 is set to ON to select a group of 8 addresses (the other switches of
S301 and all switches of S302 are set to OFF);

all 8 switches of S401 are set to ON (all switches of S402 are set to OFF).
Example : system addresses 17 to 24 Value OFF ON OFF ON Value

the redundant ringer power unit RGPA in position 7 or 16, if provided;

the 7th address belongs to the unit in position 12 (Slave PCM controller of 2nd
multiplexer or ILTAUS);

the 8th address belongs to the unit in position 4 (Slave PCM controller of 1st
multiplexer or ILTAUS).

Extended addressing exploitation with 16 addresses

16 numbers (i.e. 2 groups of 8 consecutive numbers) are assigned to the subrack.
Selection is achieved by setting 10 switches in the ON position :

one switch of S301and one switch of S302 are set to ON to select a group of 8
addresses (the other switches of S301 and of S302 are set to OFF);

all 8 switches of S401 are set to ON (all switches of S402 are set to OFF).

Take care to select different groups by means of the switches of S301 and
ATTENTION S302.

As the switches of S302 can only select addresses below 32, it can be
TIP appropriate to select the addresses above 32 with the switches of S301.
