Overview of This Section
This section describes the components and specifications for the PacketStar
PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch Panel. Before beginning your installation, read this section to ensure that you have ordered the equipment you need for your environment, and that you have all the tools and materials required to perform the installation.
Functional Description
The PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch Panel is designed to distribute the port connections of two 24-Port High-Density DS1 Multiservice modules (model
23N35) when configured for a 1:1 protection scheme. One module is configured to operate in a normal working mode (passing traffic) and the other module operates in a protection mode as the backup for the working module if it should fail. Refer to the PacketStar
®
PSAX 24-Port High-Density DS1 Multi-
service Module User Guide for details on the switching operation. In a separate configuration, two 8-Port Medium-Density E1 Multiservice modules can also be connected to the PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch Panel in a 1:1 protectoin scheme. Refer to the PacketStar
®
PSAX 8-Port Medium-Density E1 Multiser-
vice Module User Guide for details.
Module Interface Side
As shown in Figure 1, the protection patch panel has four 50-pin Champ connectors on the module interface side (labeled
PROTECTION PORTS 1–12,
WORKING PORTS 1–12, PROTECTION PORT 13–24,
and
WORKING PORT 13–24
) to connect the Lucent cables from the working and protection I/O modules to the PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch Panel.

Power Connections
Power (see Figure 1) is supplied to the PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch
Panel through two redundant autosensing (voltage and polarity) power connections (labeled
-48V
and
RTN
) to drive the status LEDs and protection switching relays. A single fuse (labeled
0.5A
) provides circuit protection for the protection patch panel.
LED Status Indicators
LEDs (see Figure 1) indicate the operational status of the PSAX 24-Port
RJ Protection Patch Panel. When the protection patch panel is functioning normally, the
WORKING ACTIVE
LEDs are illuminated and the
WORKING
INACTIVE
LEDs are not illuminated. When the protection patch panel is functioning in a protected mode (the working module has failed), the
WORKING
INACTIVE
LEDs are illuminated and the
WORKING ACTIVE
LEDs are not illuminated. The LEDs are controlled through the protection switching relays which are in turn controlled through control leads from the module that is configured as the protection module.
Protection Group Switch
The PSAX 24-Port RJ Protection Patch Panel also includes a switch (see
Figure 3) that is used to set the number of groups used. The default
ONE
GROUP
position allows one 24-port group for the 24-Port High-Density DS1
Multiservice module and one 8-port group for the 8-Port Medium-Density
E1 Multiservice module to be configured for 1:1 protection or for non-protection. The
TWO GROUPS
position is for future enhancements.

Frequently asked questions
The protection patch panel distributes port connections of two 24-Port High-Density DS1 Multiservice modules when configured for a 1:1 protection scheme. It ensures that if one module fails, the other module takes over and maintains traffic flow.
One module operates in a normal working mode while the other operates as a backup. If the working module fails, the protection module takes over automatically, and traffic is seamlessly switched over.
The LEDs indicate the operational status of the protection patch panel. The WORKING ACTIVE LEDs are illuminated when the panel is functioning normally, while the WORKING INACTIVE LEDs are illuminated when the panel is in protected mode.
