1 OVERVIEW
1.2.5 Constraints
Certain I/O cards cannot coexist in the same CX900e chassis. A C54 DSP is used
on the DAV I/O card, the ISDN BRI-S/T Digital Voice I/O card, and the DIM I/O
card. These cards therefore cannot be used in the same chassis as the DDVC card
(which must be used with the ISDN BRI S/T I/O Card) and the Analog Voice I/O
card, which use a C31 DSP.
1.2.6 Optional Cards
The following paragraphs describe optional plug-in cards that support the
functionality of specific I/O cards on the motherboard.
Serial The Serial Expansion Module (SEM) provides Serial Communications

Expansion Controllers (SCCs) for I/O slots 5 through 8. The SEM must be installed
Module whenever an I/O card requiring access to a serial communication controller is
installed in one of these slots (5-8).
Ring The Ring Generator supplies -12VDC, -48VDC, and 86VAC (ringing voltage) to
Generator the Analog Voice I/O card. The Ring Generator is required for the Dual Analog
Voice I/O card (DAV I/O) as well, however, the LIDs on theDAV I/O card
generate their own ringing voltage.
3006M100-002 1-7
1.3 Recommended Configurations
The motherboard accommodates up to six I/O cards. Most I/O cards supply one
port with the exception of the Multi-I/O card, and the Universal I/O card, which
supply five ports each, and the DAV I/O card which supports two ports. An
additional V.24 port is available with the Data Expansion Module (DEM) option.

4 DATA EXPANSION MODULE
The Data Expansion Module (DEM) supplies 3 Serial Communication Controllers

(SCCs) and other intelligence to ports on cards mounted in slots 5 and 6, as well
as to an optional V.24 port that it can provide over a ribbon cable.
The DEM must be used when serial I/O cards associated with slots 5 and 6 ar
required. This includes the Multi I/O, EIA-232/V24 I/O,V.35H I/O, V.35EU I/O,
X.21 I/O, V.34 Modem or the 56K CSU/DSU.
3006M100-002 4-1
4.1 DEM Component

Important components on the Data Expansion Module include:
• edge connector
• Integrated Multiprotocol Processor (including three SCCs)
• seventh port option
Figure 4-1 Data Expansion Module (DEM)
4.1.1 Processor
An Integrated Multiprotocol Processor (IMPP) at U9 controls the DEM’s circuits

and logic. The IMPP incorporates two serial communication controllers to handle
serial ports provided by cards mounted in slot 5 and slot 6. It incorporates another
SCC to handle traffic of an optional V.24 port that it can provide over a ribbon
cable.
4.1.2 Seventh Port Option
Port The IMPP provides the SCC for an optional seventh port. This port is a V.24
Connector (EIA-232D) with a female DB-25 connector. This connector mounts on the rear
panel of the chassis through a knock-out; its ribbon cable attaches to a 26-pin
socket on the DEM at J1.
Speed The optional seventh port can operate without split clocking at the following
synchronous speeds:
• 50 bps - 128 Kbps for external clocking
• 1875 bps - 128 Kbps for internal clocking
4-2 3006M100-002
It can also operate asynchronously at following speeds:
• 134 bps - 128 Kbps
4.1.3 Power
The DEM receives +5 VDC from the 120-pin connector of the motherboard and
returns ground to it.
4.2 DTE/DCE Configuration for Seventh Port Option

The optional seventh port can be physically configured either as a DTE or a DCE
device. The factory default configuration is DCE.
DCE When configured as a DCE device, the port transmits DCD, DSR, and CTS and
the synchronous clocks - TXC and RXC. The port must receive DTR and RTS
from the attached DTE. Terminals, printers, controllers and hosts are always DTE
devices.
DTE When configured as a DTE device, the port transmits DTR, RTS and ETXC and
receives DCD, DSR, and CTS and the synchronous clocks (TXC and RXC) from
the attached DCE.
Two jumper banks socketed at U3 and U4 provide DTE/DCE configuration.

Permanent metal bands on the top surface of the jumper banks strap signals
according to DCE/DTE requirements. The orientation of these jumper banks
determines whether the port will be DTE or DCE. Rotating each jumper 180°
changes the port from one kind of device to the other, as illustrated below.
Figure 4-2 DEM DTE/DCE Configuration Jumpers
3006M100-002 4-3
4.3 Signal Handling for Seventh Port Option

Signaling through the optional seventh port complies fully with the ITU-T’s

5 SERIAL I/O CARDS
There are four types of Serial I/O cards which mount on the motherboard in any of
slots 1-4, and in slots 5-6 if the Data Expansion Module (DEM) is installed. They
enable the CX900e to exchange data with a variety of external serial devices.
Other serial devices include the Multi I/O, discussed in Chapter 6, and the
Universal I/O, discussed in Chapter 7.
NOTE: The serial I/O cards must be configured as DTE to connect to a PTO-pro-
vided service (X.25 PSS or Digital Leased Line). Interconnecting cables
used between the Memotec interface and the PTO provided network must
present a DTE interface to the network.
The interconnection cables supplied by Memotec provide the correct connector

type and pin-out assignments required by a PTO-provided network port in Europe.

7.1.1 CX900e I/O Bus
The CX900e I/O bus carries the address bus, data bus, and clocking/control
signals from the motherboard CPU to the Universal I/O card. Transceivers
interface the local buses to the CX900e I/O bus. Connection of the I/O bus to th
motherboard is via a 120-pin card edge connector.
7.1.2 Communications Controller
The MC68EN360, located at U3, is a Quad Universal Integrated Communications

Controller (QUICC) containing four Serial Communication Controllers (SCCs)
which serve ports 2 to 5. The SCC for Port 1 is provided by the motherboard.
An additional QUICC is required when Universal I/O cards are installed in slots 5
or 6. This QUICC is located on the Data Expansion Module (DEM) which is
plug-in card inserted into a 144-pin SODIMM connector on the motherboard on
U3.

7.1.3 Programmable Headers
Programmable headers enable the hardware configuration of the serial I/O ports.
The Universal I/O card contains three sets of five miniature surface-mount sockets
that are populated with small PCBs. The orientation of the PCBs determines the
configuration of the physical protocol (V.24, V.35, or X.21), interface (DTE or
DCE), and clock source (internal or external) for each port.

7.2 Universal I/O Cable

The Universal I/O module is equipped with an octopus cable that features a
VHDCI connector on one end and 5 cable legs equipped with RS-232 connectors
on the other end. This allows the Universal I/O module to support 5 interfaces
through a single port. The Universal I/O cable is available for 3 types of
interfaces: V.24, X.21, and V.35. A combination of these interfaces can b
achieved by using the RS-232/V.24 cable, and adding X.21 and/or V.35 interfac
7-4 3006M100-002
adaptors.
7.3 Configuration
Each port of the Universal I/O card is hardware configurable for the following:
• physical interface (V.24, V.35, or X.21)
• DTE or DCE operation
• clock source (internal or external) and split clock
Miniature PCBs are used to configure each port. The PCBs enable cross-
connections for the various options and do not contain active components. Th
orientation of the three PCBs, one for each configurable option, determines the
setting of the port’s attributes. Each of the five ports must be individually
configured using this method.
7.3.1 Physical Protocol Configuration
The PCB for selecting the physical protocol has contacts on three edges, one edge
for each protocol. To configure a protocol, simply insert the PCB edge that is
labelled with the required protocol into the connector. Physical interface
connectors are located at J12, J22, J32, J42 and J52. Figure 7-4 shows th
orientation of the PCB for configuring the V.35 protocol.

7.3.2 DTE/DCE Configuration
DTE/DCE selection for each port is configured by inserting the appropriate edge
3006M100-002 7-5
of the PCB into the connector. DTE/DCE port configuration connectors are
located at J11, J21, J31, J41 and J51. Figure 7-5 demonstrates the PCB orientation
for DTE configuration.

7-6 3006M100-002
7.3.3 Clock Source Configuration
Each port is configurable for TXC or ETXC mode. TXC mode means that only
the standard transmit clock TXC is available for the transmit data, i.e., the clock is
output from the DCE and input to the DTE. ETXC mode means that only the
standard external (or DTE) transmit clock (ETXC) is available for the transmit
data (from DTE to DCE). Clock source configuration connectors are located at
J15, J25, J35, J45 and J55.
Split Clocking The TXC/EXTXC selector is used to support split clocking on the Universal I/O.
An external adapter (part # CBLA0031-000) is required to perform split clocking.
Table 7-2 summarizes the appropriate configuration required:
Table 7-2 TXC/EXTXC Settings

8 ANALOG VOICE I/O CARD
The AnalogVoice I/O Cards, which mount on the motherboard in any of slots 1-6,
enable the CX900e to transmit and receive voice and fax data. Each card supplies
a single analog voice/fax port controlled by a C31 Digital Signaling Processor
(DSP), and a Line Interface Driver (LID).
WARNING: The AnalogVoice I/O card cannot coexist with the following C54 DSP-
based cards in the same CX900e chassis:
- Dual AnalogVoice I/O Card (DAV I/O)
- BRI DigitalVoice I/O Card (BRI-DV I/O)
The Analog Voice I/O Card requires a -48V/Ring Generator card to be mounted
on the motherboard.
NOTE: To Our Users in Australia
According to the certification requirements of the Australian TeleCommuni-

cations Authority, we advise you that:
When connecting the AnalogVoice I/O card via FXO, FXS, E&M 2-wire, or
E&M 4-wire LIDs, you should only use CCL listed interconnection cables as
they adhere to technical standard TS 008.
When using E&M 2-wire LIDs, you should only use drivers with 600 Ohms
complex impedance (Australian Complex).
3006M100-002 8-1
8.1 Analog Voice I/O Card Components

User-relevant components on the Analog Voice I/O Card include:
• edge connector
• port connector
• Line Interface Driver (LID)
1-6.
The connector plate fixes the female six-wire RJ-12 and the female eight-wire PB-
45 connectors to the chassis rear panel with two Phillips-head screws.
NOTE: Attachment of the connector plate to the chassis is required at all times for
good grounding.
The LID is a daughterboard which mounts on the Analog Voice I/O card and
controls the voice channel signalling and network line interface. The LIDs ar
further described in paragraph 8.3.
NOTE: The PB-45 connector is mechanically identical to an RJ-45 connector, but

the PB-45 connector is used in equipment-to-equipment connections rather
than equipment-to-network connections.
Figure 8-1 Analog Voice I/O Card (without LIDs)
8-2 3006M100-002
Figure 8-2 Analog Voice I/O Connector Plat
8.2 Compression Rates Supported

The card supports compression of the 64 Kbps voice stream to rates of 5.8 Kbps
or 8 Kbps using Algebraic Code-Excited Linear Prediction II (ACELP II); 40, 32,
24, or 16 Kbps (G.726); or 64 Kbps (G.711) on the system bus.
8.3 Line Interface Drivers

A line interface driver (LID) is a daughterboard which is mounted in connectors
J1, J3 and J5 on the Analog Voice I/O Card. The LIDs provide the interface
configuration for transformerless telephone connections (FXO and FXS only) and
control the signaling on the channel. Each Analog Voice I/O Card and its
associated port requires a LID.
LIDs are of five types: E&M 2-wire, E&M 4-wire, E&M 2/4-wire, FXO, and
FXS.
8.3.1 E&M Drivers
The E&M drivers provide connections to telephone equipment such as a PBX

using either a two-wire or four-wire voice connection. They can be configured to
comply with E&M types I, II, III, IV and V standards. The following paragraphs
describe the three types of E&M driver that are available. The LIDs support an
RJ-12 and a PB-45 port connector.
3006M100-002 8-3
E&M 2-wire The E&M 2-wire and E&M 4-wire LIDs feature 600 Ohm line impedance.
and 4-wire
Unlike the E&M 4-wire LID, the E&M 2-wire LID does not require the T1 to T1
or R1 to R1 connections in straight-through signalling or the T1 to T or R1 to R in
reverse signalling.
E&M 2/4-wire The E&M 2/4-wire driver can accommodate both types of analog interface (2- o
4-wire) and several line impedances. Configuration is achieved through jumpe
settings on the LID.
Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 list the jumper settings for configuring the line impedance
and analog interface, respectively.

8.3.2 FXO and FXS Drivers
The FXS (Foreign eXchange Station) LID is used for connection to a telephone.
The FXS LID provides -48 VDC battery voltage, generates the ring signal and
supports Loop Start detection, Direct Inward Dialing (DID), and Flash Hook
signaling.
The FXO (Foreign eXchange Office) LID is used for connection to a central
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) office. The FXO LID supports Loop
Start as well as Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and Flash Hook signaling. The FXO
also detects ringing, and is compatible with -24 or -48 VDC phone interfaces.
Both FXS and FXO LIDs may be used for direct connections to the PBX.
Both LIDs support 2-wire connections via RJ-12 port connectors. Line impedanc
for the FXO and FXS LIDs is software-configurable for 600 Ohms, 900 Ohms, or
AT&T compromise impedance.
8.4 Voice LID Signal Handling

The following tables describe the signal outputs for North America and Europe
for the 6-pin RJ-12 connector and the 8-pin PB-45 connectors. The FXO
detects -48V and ringing signals. It can also connect to a PBX.

8.8 Analog Voice I/O Card Power Consumption

The power consumption is 2.5 Watts (8.5 BTU/hr) with LID.
9 DUAL ANALOG VOICE I/O CARD
The Dual AnalogVoice (DAV) I/O cards, which mount on the motherboard in any
of slots 1-6, enable the CX900e to transmit and receive voice and fax data. Each
card uses a C54 DSP to supply two analog voice/fax ports controlled by SLIM
Line Interface Drivers (SLIM LIDs).
WARNING: The Dual AnalogVoice I/O card cannot coexist with the following C31
DSP-based cards in the same CX900e chassis:
- AnalogVoice I/O Card
- DDVC (Dual DigitalVoice Compression) Card
The DAV I/O card requires a -48V/Ring Generator card to be mounted on the
motherboard.
According to the certification requirements of the Australian TeleCommuni-

cations Authority, we advise you that:
When connecting the DAV I/O card via FXO, FXS, or E&M 2/4-wire SLIM
LIDs, you should only use CCL listed interconnection cables as they adhere
to technical standard TS 008.
When using FXO SLIM LIDs, you must set them to Australian Complex
impedance.

9.2 Speeds Supported by the DAV I/O

The DAV I/O card supports compression of the 64 Kbps voice stream to rates of 8
Kbps (G.729) and 40, 32, 24, or 16 Kbps (G.726), or 64 Kbps (G.711).
9.3 SLIM Line Interface Drivers (SLIM LIDs)

One SLIM LID is required for each channel and is selected according to the
interface requirement (FXS, FXO, or E&M). It features an on-board jumper
configuration. The SLIM LID provides the RJ-45 or RJ-12 I/O connector and
drives the port signaling. Each SLIM LID is plugged into the DAV I/O card via
two sets of sockets (J1 and J2 for channel 1, and J3 and J4 for channel 2). Each set
consists of one socket for analog and digital signals, and one socket for high
voltage signals (-48V and ring). The FXS SLIM LID has its own ring generator
supplying the ring voltage.
9-4 3006M100-002
9.3.1 FXS
The FXS (Foreign eXchange Station) SLIM LID is used for connection to a
telephone. The FXS SLIM LID provides -48 VDC battery voltage, generates the
ring signal and supports Loop Start detection, Direct Inward Dialing (DID), and
Flash Hook signaling.
9.3.2 FXO
The FXO (Foreign eXchange Office) SLIM LID is used for connection to a
central PSTN office. The FXO SLIM LID supports Loop Start as well as Direct
Inward Dialing (DID) and Flash Hook signaling. The FXO also detects ringing,
and is compatible with -24 or -48 VDC phone interfaces.
Both FXS and FXO SLIM LIDs may be used for direct connections to the PBX.
9.3.3 E&M
The E&M 2/4-wire SLIM LID is used for direct connection to a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) using either a two-wire or four-wire voice connection. It can be
configured to E&M types I, II, III, IV and V, normal and reverse.
The PBX determines the type of signaling. Figures 9-4 to 9-8 illustrate E&M 4
wire Types I, II, III, IV and V. The same diagrams apply to an E&M 2-wir
interface except that there is no T1-to-T1and R1-to-R1 connection.

9.4 Configuring Voice SLIM LIDs

Voice SLIM LIDs are hardware configured using jumper banks. In order to
reconfigure a voice SLIM LID, the relevant jumper bank(s) must be removed and
reinserted in the required location. Jumper locations are silk-screened on the
SLIM LID.
9.4.1 E&M 2/4-wire
The E&M 2/4-wire SLIM LID is hardware configurable, with a number of jumper
banks, to match:
• a 2 or 4 wire interface
• line impedance
• signalling type
• normal or reverse signalling
NOTE: Normal signalling is also known as B side or Channel Equipment side.
9-8 3006M100-002
The default settings are 2-wire, 600 Ohm, Type 1, Normal signaling. Figure 9-9
shows the jumper bank locations for the default configuration.

How to Identify the Hardware Revision of a Circuit Card

The procedure for identifying hardware revision numbers is the same for all
CX900e circuit cards. The location of the revision information, however, varies
according to card type.
The following paragraph provides an example of how to identify the hardware

revision of a CX900e I/O card.
1. Position the circuit card with the component side up and the faceplate
to the right.
2. You will find the hardware revision information located in one of the
corners of the card, as shown in the following figure.
3. Note the silk-screened revision (REV.) number and the hand-written

letter(s) that follow the number.
4. Determine the current revision of the card by appending the last letter
appearing on the right with the REV number. In the example above,
the current revision number of the card would be 3D.
5. Enter the hardware revision in the H/W Revision column of the table.
