The rack is a 19Ćinch clear anodized aluminum enclosure with a

transparent plastic front panel. The rack contains a 115/230VAC

power supply and 10 slots for transceivers. Each transceiver

receives operating power through plug connections at the bottom of

each slot in the rack. TransceiverĆtoĆtransceiver wiring and

connection to the fiberĆoptic link is done through openings in the

back of the rack.
The Power Supply consists of a 115/230 to 14V AC transformer

connected to a standard IECĆstyle line cord. On the back of the

rack, there is a switch wired to the transformer to allow switching the

primary from 115 to 230V AC. The faceplate of the Power Supply

contains an ON/OFF rocker switch and a 1.25 amp fuse. A builtĆin

indicator in the ON/OFF switch will illuminate to indicate the

presence of power. See Appendix E for the Power Supply

schematic.

RackĆMounted Transceiver

The RackĆMounted Transceiver (M/N 57C367) is simply the

StandĆAlone Transceiver (M/N 57C365) attached to an adapter plate

which allows it to be mounted in the Transceiver Rack (M/N

57C368). See figure K1.4.
The adapter faceplate contains one green LED which, when lit,

indicates the transceiver is receiving power. Two captive screws on

the faceplate secure the transceiver to the rack.
A fourĆscrew terminal block is provided on the back of the adapter

for transceiverĆtoĆtransceiver data transmission via twistedĆpair wire.

A 2Ćpin plug on the back of the adapter provides connection to the

rack backplane for input power. The RackĆMounted Transceiver is

shipped with the connections made between the fourĆscrew terminal

block and plug on the back of the adapter and the sixĆscrew

terminal block on the transceiver. A jumper between terminals 3

and 4 on the sixĆscrew terminal block is used to connect a builtĆin

120 ohm terminating load between terminals 1 and 2. This jumper

must be connected on transceivers at the extreme ends of the rack.
Receive and transmit ports labeled R" and T", respectively, are

provided on the back of the transceiver for connection to the

fiberĆoptic link with the StandĆAlone Transceiver. The transceiver is

shipped with dust caps covering the fiberĆoptic ports. The dust caps

should not be removed until the fiberĆoptic cables are installed, and

should be replaced if the cables are disconnected, to prevent dust

accumulation and the resulting loss of the signal integrity. The green
