Equipment Needed
Ringer-2000
Ringer-2000 is a standalone power supply unit that can provide power for up to
60 voice channels. Ringer-2000 is intended for installation on shelves or in 19"
racks. Unit height is only 1U. Ringer-2000 is available in AC (115 VAC or
230 VAC) or DC (-24 VDC or -48 VDC) power supply versions.
Ringer-2200
Ringer-2200 is an enhanced standalone power supply unit that can provide
power for up to 120 voice channels. This is enough power for a MX-2100 chassis
fully equipped with 12 KVF.8 modules (96 channels). Ringer-2200 is intended for
installation on shelves or in 19" racks. Unit height is only 1U. Ringer-2200 is
available in 115 VAC or 230 VAC power supply versions.
KM-Ringer
KM-Ringer can provide power for up to 32 voice channels (or 24 KVF.8 channels).
KM-Ringer is a small unit that can be located on shelves and desktops, or installed
as a plug-in module in a 3U high MX-2100 enclosure only. It occupies three I/O
enclosure slots. KM-Ringer is available in AC (115 to 230 VAC) or DC (-24 VDC or
-48 VDC) power supply versions.
For details see the appropriate
Ringer Installation and Operation Manual.
2.3 Equipment Needed
The following describes the equipment needed to run the MX-2100.
Terminal Characteristics
Any standard ASCII terminal or PC emulating an ASCII terminal equipped with an
RS-232 communication interface can be used to control MX-2100 operation.
Make sure to initialize MX-2100 for correct terminal operation as explained in
Initial Setup and Configuration
on page 2-21, otherwise some commands may not
work properly.
Software Requirements
The software necessary to run the MX-2100 supervision program is contained in
the program EPROM of the KCL.2 module of the MX-2100. MX-2100 stores all the
configuration information generated or altered during the communication with the
terminal. No information is stored in the terminal.
Supervisory Port Interface Characteristics
MX-2100 has an RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated Supervisory Port
Connector (CONTROL-DCE), located on the KCL.2 module. This port has a 9-pin
D-type female connector, and is intended for direct connection to terminals. Since
terminals usually have DTE interfaces, the connection to this port is made by
means of a straight-through cable. For connection to a modem, you need a
cross-cable (null modem cable).
