UIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The Universal Interface Converter(UIC) allows the user to purchase a single product to convert interfaces between any combination of RS-232, V.35, RS-422/449, X.21, RS-530, TTL and customer specific requests. The UIC is shipped with any two user specified data interfaces.

Additional data interfaces are sold separately.

The individual data interfaces are available in DCE or DTE formats. Each data interface has the ability to force commonly used control signals such as DSR, DTR, Ring Indicate, Control and

Indicate.

The data interfaces may be mix and matched in any combination.

The UIC has two TTL level interfaces for connecting each data interface. Installation is fast and simple by plugging the DTE interface card into Port B and the DCE interface card into Port A. In all installations, Port B will always provide timing to Port A.

The UIC has status LED's for each attached data interface which allows the user to visually confirm the presence of control signals.

The UIC utilizes state of the art digital CMOS technology to provide a feature filled product at a very affordable price. Our Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design has allowed us to offer this product with a wide selection of data interfaces.

The UIC is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure and operates on 110/220VAC.

The UIC has a three year warranty and a 24 hour turnaround on warranty repairs.

TYPICAL APPLICATION

Figure 1.1

Page 1

UIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

CHAPTER 2 - BASIC OPERATION

2.1 FRONT PANEL INDICATORS

A Green LED marked POWER illuminates when AC Power has been applied. Two adjacent sets of Green LEDs, one for PORT A and another for PORT B, illuminate in union with individual port control signal activity. Both Port A and Port B indicators flash in union with Port A and Port B data interfaces(see section 2.4 Data Interfaces)

2.2 FRONT PANEL

SWITCHES

Located on the front panel of the UIC are two dip switches. The switches are marked

SW1 and SW2. For proper operation, SW1, positions 5 and 7 must be set to OFF. All other switches should be set to ON. Switch SW2 provides NO functions.

2.3 REAR PANEL

POWER CONNECTOR

Located on the back or rear of the product you will find an IEC POWER RECEPTACLE.

The supplied power cord plugs into this receptacle. This receptacle also contains a fuse drawer. Two (2) fuses are located in this compartment. For 110 VAC +/- 10% operation the unit is equipped with slow blow 160ma Fuses, Part # 714000. For 220

VAC +/- 10% operation the unit is equipped with slow blow 80ma Fuses, Part # 714001.

2.4 REAR PANEL DATA INTERFACE PORTS

Located adjacent to the IEC Power receptacle are the user selectable DATA

INTERFACE PORTS. The ports are marked PORT A and PORT B. The data interfaces plug into the UIC main printed circuit board through these openings. The top two screws on the interface module hold the card into place. Both Port A and Port B indicators flash in union with Port A and Port B data interfaces.

2.5 CLOCKING

The UIC must be externally clocked from PORT B.

2.6 DATA INTERFACES

The UIC has selectable DATA INTERFACES of V.35, RS-422/449, RS-530, X.21 and

RS-232. The data interfaces are purchased separate from the main UIC unit.

Page 2

UIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

2.7

DATA INTERFACE MODULE STRAPS

The UIC has user selectable data interfaces that are purchased seperatly from the main

UIC unit. The available interfaces are V.35, RS-422/449, RS-530, X.21 and RS-232.

Each Data Interface Module has straps(3 pin header) that force select data interface signals. Please refer to each interface modules documentation for a detailed explanation of both control signals supported and the available options for forcing control signals.

2.8

DATA INTERFACE REMOVAL

Disconnect the AC power source from the UIC and disconnect the users data cables from the Data Interface Module(DIM). Located on back panel of the UIC are PORT A and PORT B. Each DIM is pluged into and out of these ports through mating connectors. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the top two screws of the DIM. Gently pull the module from the UIC housing. It may be easier to remove the top cover and while holding the edges of the DIM, rock the DIM back and forth as you pull the DIM out of the socket.

3.1 VOLTAGE SELECTION

It is very important to check that the unit is set to the correct voltage setting for your application before applying AC power. Located on the rear of the unit you will find a rotary 110/220 VAC switch. Using a coin or small screwdriver, gently turn the switch to the appropriate power position as required for your installation (110 or 220 VAC).

3.2 VOLTAGE SELECTION FUSES

Located on the back or rear of the product you will find an IEC Power receptacle. This receptacle contains a fuse drawer. Two (2) fuses are located in this compartment. For

110 VAC +/- 10% operation the unit is equipped with slow blow 5 x 20mm 160ma

Fuses, E.C.D. Part # 714000. For 220 VAC +/- 10% operation the unit is equipped with slow blow 5 x 20mm 80ma Fuses, E.C.D. Part # 714001. Spare fuses may be purchased by calling East Coast Datacom or by calling the fuse manufacturer: Little

Fuse at (312) 824-3024 or Shurter, Inc. at (707) 778-6311

Little Fuse Part #'s are: 160ma = 218.160 and 80ma = 218.080

Shurter, Inc. Part #'s are: 160ma = 034.3109 and 80ma = 034.3106

3.3 POWER CONNECTION

Before connecting the UIC to an AC power source the top cover should be installed with the supplied #6-32 screws. AC power is supplied to the unit through a 2.3m (6.6 ft) cord terminated by a grounded 3-prong plug. Select an appropriate location accessible to and within four to five feet of an AC outlet. The AC Power source MUST be grounded or the units Warranty will be void.

UIC INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

3.4 DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SWITCH SETTINGS

The UIC is configured prior to shipping with the Dip Switches set as follows:

1) Clock Source - Port B (Connect to DCE device)

2) Control Signals - Not Forced

3) Chassis to Signal GND - Not Connected

If your system application requires one or more of the default settings to be changed, this is accomplished via the front panel switches.

3.5 DATA PORT CONNECTIONS

Before applying AC Power to the unit, the users cabling to the UIC Data Interfaces should be connected. Straight through shielded cables should be used. PORT A must

always have a DCE interface module plugged into the port and connect to a DTE device. PORT B must always have a DTE interface module plugged into the port and connect to a DCE device.

3.6 SWITCH SETTINGS

3.6.1 DIP SWITCHES

The UIC has two Dip Switch’’s that are accessible via the front panel. The switches are marked SW1 and SW2. For proper operation, SW1, positions 5 and 7 must be set to

OFF. All other switches should be set to ON. Switch SW2 provides NO functions.
