2.2 Installation
Perform the following procedure to install modem cards in the CC916,
CC1416, CC2816 or CC1600 racks*. The installation process involves:
1. Power cord must be unplugged prior to installation of the Power
Source(s). Insert Power Source(s) (PS216A or PS1600) into far right of
the rack cage.
2. Slide a modem card into one of sixteen available modem slots. Start by
inserting a modem into the left-most channel (slot #1) of the rack. The
toggle switch should be at the bottom of the card, with the component
side of the card facing the right. The modem’s gold edge connector is
offset so that the modem cannot be inserted incorrectly. Continue
installing modem cards as necessary.
3. Plug RS232C Cable into appropriate modem slot (DB25/25-pin
connector-female) at rear of rack. Note: Any cables connected to the
computer must be shielded to reduce interference.
4. If you are connecting your phone line directly to the modem card, plug
the phone line cable into the appropriate modem slot (DB9/9-pin
connector-female) at the rear of the rack and the other end into the
phone-company-provided RJ11 or RJ11W modular phone jack. To
connect the modem to the phone lines using an CC1600 modem rack,
plug one end of the RJ11 cable provided with the modem into the rack's
RJ11 connector (located on the back plane of the modem rack) and the
other end into the phone-company-provided RJ11 or RJ11W modular
phone jack.
5. Plug in modem rack power cord.
6. Verify remote modem's current configuration settings with your
MT2834BR in terms of data compression, error correction, transmission
rate, etc. (ATL5/ATL7 Command - see Chapter 4 on AT commands).
7. Attach MT2834BR to dial-up phone lines and/or leased lines and verify
DIP-Switch #10 and #5 settings (Section 2.5).
8. Make sure modem and computer/terminal serial port baud rates are
adjusted (Section 2.5.).
