Installing the MOD-10I-U
ISDN Expansion Board
Introduction
The MOD-10I-U ISDN expansion board allows you to add ISDN capability to the
PortMaster(TM) 2E communications server. Each board contains 5 BRI ports each supporting
two 64Kbps B channels and one 16Kbps D channel for signaling. An NT1 is integrated,
providing a U interface for the USA, allowing you to plug ISDN phone lines directly into
the port. In addition, a high density 10-pin RJ-45 port is provided along with a
convenient cable suitable for attachment directly to a punch-down block.
The board requires ComOS release 3.3 or later.
Installing the MOD-101-U board
CAUTION: Do not unpack components or open the case of the PortMaster without
providing for control of static electricity.
NOTE: Revision A and Revision B of the board can only be used in the PM-2E.
Revision C can be used in the PM-2E or PM-2ER. The Revision can be seen in the corner of
the board next to the Lucent Technologies copyright notice.
- Set the power switch to the OFF position and disconnect the PortMaster from the AC
power source.
- Open the PortMaster case.
Remove the screw at the center of the top rear edge, then slide the top of the
PortMaster case ½ horizontally and lift straight up. If difficulty is encountered in
separating the top and bottom sections of the PortMaster case, try pressing down on the
top edge sides and exerting a sudden push.
- Verify that the 60-pin ribbon has been installed in the center of the PortMaster main
board:
- If already connected, go to the next step.
- If not connected, insert the connector with the white stripe on the top into the main
board, with the red line on the 60-wire ribbon closest to the power supply chamber. When
inserting the 60-pin connector, support the free edge of the board (the side closest to
the front of the PortMaster), with your hand so that it does not bend excessively.
- Set position jumper on expansion board.
The jumper is located between the two cable connectors on the expansion board. If the
jumper connects the pair of pins marked 1 to the middle pair of pins, the expansion board
will be seen as ports S10-S19. If the jumper connects the pair of pins marked 3 to the
middle pair of pins, the expansion board will be seen as ports S20-S29. Maintain the
orientation of the jumper when moving it.
If the jumper is labeled "1 2" instead of "123", then connecting
the pair of pins marked 2 to the middle pair of pins will make the board be seen as ports
S20-S29.
- Remove the blank cover plate(s) from the rear of the PortMaster
The S10-S19 expansion board is inserted above the rear face plate with ports S0 through
S9. The S20-S29 expansion board is inserted above the rear face plate with ports S10
through S19.
- Attach the rear face plates with the screws provided before attaching the data and
power cables to the expansion boards.
Screw(s) should be partially screwed in and the face plate(s) aligned before tightening
any of the screws.
- If installing the S20-S29 expansion board, place the enclosed sticker over the port
numbers.
- Plug the power cable (8-wire ribbon cable) and bus cable (60-wire ribbon cable) into
the front of the expansion card(s).
- Close the PortMaster case by reversing the procedure described in step 2.
- Connect the PortMaster to the AC power source and set the power switch to the ON
position.
High-Density 10-pin ISDN Cable
The following table describes the 1 for the 20 foot (6 m) high density 10-pin ISDN
cable. The cable is unshielded 24 gauge solid level 1 wiring. When using this port the
blinking LEDs next to the five ports still indicate the status of each BRI. If the cable
has 2 extra lines that are solid red or solid blue, ignore them.
NOTE: To order this cable from Lucent Technologies, specify product code
CBL-HD45.

WARNING: Do not plug 8-pin RJ-45 connectors into the high density ISDN port, and
do not plug its 10-pin RJ-45 connector into the 8-pin BRI ports, or physical damage to the
unit may result. Likewise, do not plug a twisted pair ethernet into the ISDN ports or vice
versa, and do not plug analog phone lines anywhere into the PortMaster.
BRI port 8-pin RJ-45 cable
The individual BRI ports use the middle two pins (pins 4 and 5) of standard 8-pin R45
cables.
Configuring the MOD-10I-U board
Refer to the "Configuring ISDN" section of the ComOS 3.3.1 Release
Notes" for instructions on configuring the ISDN switch type and ISDN BRI ports with
the following commands:
set isdn-switch ni-1|dms-100|5ess|5ess-ptp
set S10 spid Number
set S10 directory Number
save all
show isdn
set console
set debug isdn on|off
reset console
ISDN Status LEDs
Next to each of the five RJ-45s is a green LED. When you first turn power on, each LED
blinks 8 times a second for about one second while performing an internal self-test of the
NT1. If this does not occur, contact Lucent Technical Support.
If no SPID (Service Profile ID) is set on the port and there is no circuit to the
telephone company, the LED goes off. If no SPID is set on the port but there is a circuit
to the telephone company, the LED will blink once per second. If there is a valid SPID and
a circuit the LED blinks once per second while synchronizing with the telephone company,
then becomes solid.
