3 Subrack equipment
The subrack is equipped as follows :

1 (main) AC/DC converter in position 8/9;

1 redundant AC/DC converter in position 6/7 (option);

1 (master) PCMC unit in position 15;

1 CNCC unit in position 16 (option);

1 Q1 extension unit QEXA in position 17 (option);

the positions 1 to 7 and/or 10 to 14 can be equipped with the necessary CSU's to
build 1 multiplexer system :
 the CSU's in position 10 to 14 are connected to the internal bus 1;
 the CSU's in position 1 to 7 are connected to the internal bus 2.
Remarks :

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 3 channels
per unit (or occupying 3 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.

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 subrack layout.

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 the slave PCMC controller unit can be mounted
in position13 or 14.

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 can be used to set the Q1 bus addresses for the systems
on the subrack, see Setting of the system addresses.
The switch S700 has to be set according to the equipped unit in position 16 of the subrack
: CNCC or not (PWR).

6 Setting of the system addresses

1 multiplexer system can be mounted on this subrack. The Q1 bus addresses for the
system 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.

7 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 4 units of the multiplexer system can be addressed;

an extended exploitation makes it possible to address 8 units or all units on the
subrack.

Normal exploitation
4 consecutive numbers (within the same group of 8) are assigned to the 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).

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.
