2-2 I NSTALLATION
For specific applications, additional cables and adapters may be required. The
interface requirements of any application may be met by using the appropriate
cable. Contact TxPORT for any needed assistance in cable selection.
Mounting The 3001 is a modular unit that plugs into either a single unit housing or into a
chassis that holds up to 12 units. Single units are designed for stand-alone desktop
use, wall mounting, or chassis mounting (in either a vertical or horizontal
orientation). The 3001 uses an interchangeable front panel to accommodate the
chassis card cage.
Stand-alone
Unit
To access the circuit boards and configuration switches, perform the following
procedure. Observe proper electrostatic device handling procedures while holding
the circuit boards.
1 Open the front panel access door and remove it by gently bending the plastic from
the middle using both hands.
2 Pull the two side strips of plastic from the middle outwards until the four stops are
clear of the front panel.
3 Pull the cover off the front panel.
4 Remove the two screws and pull the front panel and circuit boards out of the
housing.
The stand -alone unit may be used in a chassis installation with the following
modifications.
1 Remove the housing as described above and then remove the four screws holding
the front panel to the circuit boards.
2 Replace the stand -alone front panel with a module type front panel.
The unit can now slide into one of the 12 slots in the chassis.
Chassis
Assembly
Up to twelve PRISM 3001 units may be inserted into a chassis and the chassis
may be installed into a 19- or 23-inch rack using four screws. Connections are
made from the rear of the chassis (refer to the illustrations on page 2-9).
Unit
Configuration The PRISM 3001 can be software configured in the same manner as the multiport
PRISM 3000 by using a terminal connection to either the front panel Supervisory
access port or the rear panel NMS IN port. The TxPORT EM8000 Element
Manager and 8100A Site Controller may also be used to configure the unit by
using the same ports. The terminal interface, element manager, and site controller
provide a broader set of capabilities than by using the configuration switches.
The 3001 provides non-volatile memory retention of unit configuration in the
event of power failure. This feature allows the unit to automatically restore normal
service following a power loss. Note, however, that when the unit is stored without
power for an extended period, the battery may drain and some parameters may
become corrupted.
