Ethernet interface specifications

The base unit of a MAX has an Ethernet interface that supports the physical specifications of IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.14 with Ethernet 2 (Ethernet/DIX) framing. It provides a single Ethernet interface that auto-senses the Ethernet type to which it is connected. The following types are supported:

10Base-T (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Twisted pair Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 (10Base-T) with an RJ-45 connector, labeled LAN UTP.
100 Base-T: 100 Mbits/s Baseband Modulation on Twisted Pair

The Ethernet address used to identify the Ethernet interface resides in the MAX unit's motherboard.

T1/PRI interface specifications

This section provides the specifications for the MAX unit's T1/PRI interface and covers cabling requirements.

T1/PRI CSU requirements

Your requirements differ depending on whether or not you enable the internal CSU on each T1/PRI port on the MAX. Enable the internal CSU by setting the Net/T1 > Line Config > Line N > Front End parameter to CSU. Disable the internal CSU by setting Front End to DSX.

If you enable the internal CSU on a T1/PRI port, you can connect the port directly to the metallic interface of the WAN.
To avoid harming the WAN, you must contact your carrier for approval before installation. Once you install the MAX, you must notify the carrier before disconnecting the MAX from the WAN. If you disconnect or turn off the MAX without prior notification, the carrier might temporarily discontinue your T1/PRI service.
The MAX unit's internal CSUs are compatible with dry-loop T1/PRI lines, and with span-powered or wet-loop powered T1/PRI lines.
If you disable the internal CSU on a T1/PRI port, you cannot connect directly to the WAN.
You must connect the port to other equipment that provides the interface to the WAN, such as an external CSU. Your carrier determines the correct setting for the line buildout setting of the CSU. You configure this parameter during installation. For more information, see the MAX Reference Guide.

Table C-4 lists CSU specifications

Table C-4. CSU specifications
Information	Value
CSU Registration	2CZUSA-74421-DE-N
Critical Circuitry Power Source	Dry Loop from local AC power source
Line Capture Frequency	1.544 Mb/s +/- 200 b/s
Line Code	AMI or B8ZS
Line Framing	D4 or ESF
Line Input/Output Impedance	100 Ohms +/- 5%
Received Signal Level Range	DSX-1 level to -27.5 db
Transmitted Signal Level	DSX-1 level into 100 Ohms
Line Buildout	0.0, 7.5, 15.0, or 22.5 db
Pulse Density and Consecutive Zeros Enforcement	In accordance with requirements of AT&T Pub 62411
Line Loopback (LLB) Set Inband Code	(10000) repeating binary pattern
Line Loopback (LLB) Reset Inband Code	(100) repeating binary pattern

Note: During loss of power or whenever the MAX restarts, a relay closure returns the T1 PRI signal to the WAN; that is, the T1 PRI line is looped back. However, if the MAX is configured for framing-compatible drop-and-insert functionality, all channels of line #1 are passed to line #2. Note that line #1 and line #2 of a MAX expansion module always loop back on loss of power, regardless of how they are configured.

T1/PRI cable specifications

The maximum cable distance between the T1/PRI WAN interface equipment and the MAX should not exceed 655 feet (200 m) for a MAX without CSUs. Measure the line length and record it when you install the MAX. You must specify this length when you configure the Line Profile parameters. For more information, see the MAX Reference Guide.

Use only cables specifically constructed for transmission of T1/PRI signals. The cables should meet standard T1 attenuation and transmission requirements. The following specifications are recommended:

100 Ohm
Two twisted pairs, Category 3 or better

The WAN interface cables and plugs described in the following sections are available for the MAX unit's WAN interfaces.

WAN switched services available to the MAX

The MAX is compatible with both AT&T and Northern Telecom central office switches, and can access all T1/PRI switched digital services offered by AT&T's ACCUNET Switched Digital Services:

MCI 56 kbps and 64 kbps services
Sprint Switched 56 kbps and 64 kbps services
MultiRate and GloBanD (and GVPN in CCITT countries) PRI network services

Note: The MAX can access only Switched-56 kbps services on a T1 access line or a Switched-56 line.

For a listing of the compatible switch types, see the Switch Type parameter in the MAX Reference Guide. In addition to switched circuits, the MAX can connect to nailed-up circuits, and to aggregate nailed-up and switched circuits.

E1/PRI interface specifications

This section provides the specifications for the MAX unit's E1/PRI interface and covers cabling requirements.

During loss of power or whenever the MAX restarts, a relay closure returns the E1 PRI signal to the WAN; that is, the E1 PRI line is looped back. However, if the MAX is configured for framing-compatible drop-and-insert functionality, all channels of line #1 are passed to line #2. Note that line #1 and line #2 of a MAX Net/E1 expansion module always loop back on loss of power, regardless of how they are configured.

Note: E1/PRI models are also equipped with BNC connectors.

ISDN BRI interface specifications

This section provides the specifications for the MAX unit's ISDN BRI interface.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, communication cable conductors must be 26 AWG or larger.

Attention: Afin de reduire les risques d'incendie, les fils conducteurs du cable de communication doivent etre d'un calibre minimum de 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge), c'est-a-dire d'un minimum de 0,404 mm.

Warnung: Um Feuerrisiken zu reduzieren, müssen die Kommunikationskabel-Anschlüße 26 AWG oder größer sein.

For the Net/BRI module

The Net/BRI module (MX-SL-8BRIN) connects to the WAN through a network termination (NT1) device. You must install a cable from the NT1 that ends in a 100Ohm termination. The maximum distance between the NT1 and its termination is 3280 feet (1000 m). You can install the Net/BRI module anywhere along the length of the cable. Use only cable specifically constructed for ISDN BRI interfaces.

Note: In Belgium, install 10 m of cable between the Net/BRI module and the NT1. Significant data errors can result from using shorter cables.

For the Host/BRI module

Each ISDN BRI line provided by the Host/BRI module (MX-SL-8BRIT) must end in a 100Ohm termination. The maximum cable distance between the Host/BRI and its termination is 3280 feet (1000 m). You can install the local ISDN BRI device anywhere along the length of the cable. Use only cable specifically constructed for ISDN BRI "S" interfaces.

Serial host interface specifications

This section describes the cabling requirements, timing requirements, and interface types for the serial host ports on the MAX.

The MAX unit's serial host ports are compatible with the following three electrical standards:

RS-449/422
V.35
X.21

The MAX also supports the following dialing/answering protocols at any of its serial host ports:

V.25 bis
RS-366
X.21

Selection of the proper cable between a serial host port and the serial device ensures:

The proper mapping of pinouts from the MAX to the application equipment
Proper voltage levels

In the cable wiring tables that follow, the MAX is the DCE (Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment) device, while the host equipment is the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device. The serial host interface cabling tables use the abbreviations listed in Table C-19. Note that the Send timing and Receive timing clocks are supplied to the host by the MAX.

Table C-29 specifies the recommended maximum length of the cable between the MAX and the serial host equipment. Longer distances at the specified data rates are possible when you use terminal timing, and still longer distances are supported by the installation of the Ascend RPM, a hardware device that provides an extended distance high-speed link between the MAX and the serial host equipment.

Table C-29. Cable length requirements
Max cable length	Serial data rate
25 feet	3 Mbps
75 feet	2 Mbps
150 feet	512 kbps

Serial WAN cabling specifications

The MAX unit's serial WAN interface supports nailed-up connections to the WAN. Data packets from the MAX unit's bridge/router module can use this interface, but bit streams from devices connected to the MAX unit's serial host ports cannot.

The MAX unit's serial WAN port is compatible with the following two electrical standards:

V.35
RS-449/422

In the cable wiring tables that follow, the MAX is the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) that connects to a DCE (Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment) device through its serial WAN port. The MAX receives the Send timing and Receive timing clocks from the DCE device.

V.35 cable to WAN

You connect a V.35 cable to the V.35 port of a DCE device. Table C-30 describes the V.35 cable pinouts.
