Handling Energized Products

General Safety Practices

Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages maybe present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a

fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,energy hazards may still exist.

Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelryor any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.

Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding isprovided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth lugis provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire with adiameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed racksand cabinets.

Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunicationcables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected beforedisconnecting the ground.

Connection of AC Mains

Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.

Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power tothe product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacityand must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.

Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch isprovided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readilydisconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergencyswitch is installed in the building installation.

Connection of DC Mains

Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to theground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.

Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the DCsupply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.

DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only toqualified service and maintenance personnel.

Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installationcomplies with the local codes.

The maximum permissible current capability of the branch distribution circuit that supplies power to

the product is 16A. The circuit breaker in the building installation should have high breaking capacityand must operate at short-circuit current exceeding 35A.

Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed form the DC circuit. Locate thecircuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. Whenconnecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then thepositive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.

A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated inthe building installation.

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds thelimits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephoneringing voltages), on which overvoltages fromtelecommunication networks are not possible. Theseports are not permitted to be directly connected toexternal telephone and data lines.

FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), xDSL(with feeding voltage), U-InterfaceISDN

TNV-3 Telecommunication Network Voltage-3:

Ports whose normal operating voltage exceeds thelimits of SELV (usually up to 120 VDC or telephone

ringing voltages), on which overvoltages fromtelecommunication networks are possible.

Always connect a given port to a port of the same safety status. If in doubt, seek the assistance of aqualified safety engineer.

Always make sure that the equipment is grounded before connecting telecommunication cables. Donot disconnect the ground connection before disconnecting all telecommunications cables.

Some SELV and non-SELV circuits use the same connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.Extra caution should be exercised during thunderstorms.

When using shielded or coaxial cables, verify that there is a good ground connection at both ends. The

earthing and bonding of the ground connections should comply with the local codes.The telecommunication wiring in the building may be damaged or present a fire hazard in case ofcontact between exposed external wires and the AC power lines. In order to reduce the risk, there arerestrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the matingconnectors.

Introduction

1.1 Overview

RICi-E1 and RICi-T1 are Ethernet CLE (Customer-Located Equipment) providing ademarcation point between the private LAN and the operators network. RICi-E1,RICi-T1 units serve as an Ethernet to E1 or T1 media converter that bridgesbetween a Fast Ethernet LAN interface and unframed E1 orT1 interface. RICi-E1,RICi-T1 supports autonegotiation and fault management. The internal bridgesupports VLAN tagging and priority labeling. The unit can be managed via a local

terminal port or inband from any of the ports. RICi-E1, RICi-T1 includes DHCPclient utility that obtains the IP address, IP mask and default gatewayautomatically.

This manual details the installation and operation procedures for the RICi-E1 andRICi-T1 units. Where a diagram or screen capture is the same for RICi-E1 andRICi-T1, the title shows both names. If a diagram or screen capture is particular toone unit, then only that unit name will be shown in the title.

Chapter 1 Introduction RICi-E1, RICi-T1Installation and Operation Manual

1-2 Overview

User Interface

The user interface terminates in a 10/100BaseT port, operating in half or fullduplex. The 10/100BaseT user port supports autonegotiation.

Fault Management

The unit provides the following fault management mechanism:

When a fault at the network port is detected, the user port shuts itself down.

Internal Bridge

Internal bridge of the unit operates in two modes:

Transparent no learning is performed, each received packet is forwarded tothe other port. Filtering is performed on static MAC address entries.

Filter learning and filtering are enabled.

Management

Setup, monitoring and diagnostics tests can be performed using one of thefollowing methods:

ASCII terminal connected to the V.24/RS-232 DTE control port

Inband management via the Ethernet portTelnet, ConfiguRAD, orRADview-Lite (SNMP).

Inband Management

For inband management, the IP host of the RICi-E1, RICi-T1 can be configured totagged or untagged operation:

When tagging is enabled, the IP host packets receive a VLAN tag, creating a

dedicated management VLAN. All packets originated from or forwarded to thisVLAN will be sent to the network port only. The user port will drop thesepackets.

When tagging is disabled, no traffic separation is performed and managementpackets can be forwarded to the user port.

ConfiguRAD

ConfiguRAD is a user-friendly Web-based terminal management system serving forremote device configuration and maintenance. It is embedded into the unit andprovided at no extra cost. ConfiguRAD can be run from any standard Webbrowser.
