Modules
Installing an I/O
Module
You can install V.34 (analog), ISDN-BRI or a combination of V.34 and
ISDN-BRI modules in the RAS 1500 or RAS 1500 Expansion unit.
Use the following steps to install an I/O module:
CAUTION: The modules are not hot-swappable. Power off the unit
before installing, removing, or exchanging the module. Failure to do so could damage the modules.
1 Before installing the I/O module, you must remove power from the unit being upgraded. Remove the AC power cord from the back of the RAS
1500 Base Unit or RAS 1500 Expansion unit.
2 Remove the blank plate from the I/O module slot.
3 Unpack the I/O module from the box and remove the protective covering.
WARNING: Do not plug telephone cables into the I/O module until it is installed in the unit. It could result in electric shock.
4 Position the I/O module in front of the empty slot so it is ready to slide in.
I/O modules should be installed in the left slot (slot 1) first.
5 Slide the I/O module into the slot until it is firmly in place.
6 Using the thumbscrews, screw the I/O module in place.

Removing an
I/O Module
Use the following steps to remove an I/O module:
CAUTION: The modules are not hot-swappable. Power off the unit
before installing, removing, or exchanging the modules. Failure to do so could damage the modules.
1 Remove the AC power cord from the back of the RAS 1500 or RAS 1500
Expansion to power off the unit.
WARNING: Remove the telephone cables from the module before you remove the module from the unit. Failure to do so could result in electric shock.
2 Remove the telephone cables from the I/O module.
3 Loosen the two screws on the I/O module.
4 Place the screwdriver provided with the RAS 1500 in the small hole beneath the I/O module’s slot and push until the module ejects out of place.
5 Remove the I/O module from the slot.
6 If you are not replacing the I/O module, you must install a blank face plate.
Leaving the I/O slot open presents a potential safety hazard and the unit may no longer meet FCC requirements.
Swapping I/O
Modules
If you swap a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) I/O module and analog I/O module, reset the modem’s settings. Otherwise, ports could hang. Two examples are provided below. Be sure to provide the proper interface
(rm0, pem0, or pemX), slot (slot:1 or slot:2), and port numbers.
To reset an analog modem’s configuration to the factory-default settings, use the following CLI command: set switched interface rm0/slot:1/mod:1 at_command AT&F0&W
To reset an ISDN modem’s configuration to the factory-default settings, use the following CLI commands: set switched interface rm0/slot:1/mod:1 at_command AT&F0&W set switched interface rm0/slot:1/mod:1 at_command ATZ!
