6. When inserted into an active chassis, the modem's LEDs will display amber while booting. If

a DMM is installed and operating, the DMM will detect the presence of the modem, and
begin reporting modem status on appropriate software screens. For LED activity, see the LED
section of this manual.

7. To avoid configuration errors, attach the appropriate cables to the modem's ELIMs and

OLIMs, carefully labeling all Tx and Rx cables clearly.

8. If no configuration errors are present, data will begin passing.

2.1.1 Inserting an ELIM or OLIM

ELIMs and OLIMs (Electrical or Optical Line Interface Modules) slide in and out of the modem's
main module, much as the modem itself slides into the Chassis. The rackmount cards and the
standalone units use the same LIMs.

ELIMs are always positioned in the top slot, and OLIMs on the bottom.

2.2 Unpacking and Installing the Standalone Modem

Each 2361 modem is factory tested and shipped in protective cartons. After unpacking the unit
and accessories, retain the shipping carton and protective packing for reuse in the event a need
arises for returning it to the factory.

The standalone modem may be installed on a desktop, or mounted in a rack with side screws (see
Figure 13). Ensure that cables are away from foot traffic. The operator must have access to the
rear of the modem (for cable and dry alarm contact attachment), and the front of the modem (for
terminal interface access and viewing the modem's LEDs).
