1.1 INTRODUCTION The 86445-31 2W FXS (single-channel) unit is one of the family of units in the GE Multilin’s JungleMUX digital transport/access system designed specifically for the requirements of the utility (Power, Transportation, Pipelines, Oil & Gas, etc.) industry using optical fiber transmission.
The following Electronic Industries Association (EIA) attention label appears on all GE Multilin EAS schematics and should be attached on all containers used for ESDS items to alert personnel that the contents requires special handling. ATTENTION OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS HANDLE &...
The unit setup and signaling status is reported via VistaNET or via legacy JCI and JNCI software. Connections to drop equipment are made on the 86445-91 paddleboard assembly, which is required for each 86445-31 2W FXS unit. Copyright GE Multilin Inc. 2002...
The list of available signaling conditions depends on the unit's mode of operation (loop-start, ground-start or PLAR signaling). The unit supports Analog Loopback that can be enabled through the software. Copyright GE Multilin Inc. 2002...
In this condition, the micro ignores all settings until a local VistaNET or JCI connection is established to the unit’s CI port. On establishing this connection, the software will automatically clear the unit’s Channel setting Copyright GE Multilin Inc. 2002...
The CI is an RJ-11 connector, which transmits and receives a 9600 b/s RS-232 signal. A Microsoft-Windows-based VistaNET software and legacy DOS- based JCI (JungleMUX Craft Interface) software allow the user to configure the unit and monitor its status through the CI port.
