Safety Summary
STOP
Warning! For your safety and the protection of the equipment, observe theseprecautions when installing or servicing Zetron equipment.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the equipment or included in documentation. Only technically qualified service personnel are permitted to install or service the equipment. Be aware of and avoid contact with areas subject to high voltage or amperage. Because some components can
store dangerous charges even after power is disconnected, always discharge components before touching. Never insert objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. Conductive foreign objects could produce a
short circuit that could cause fire, electrical shock, or equipment damage. Remove rings, watches, and other metallic objects from your body before opening equipment. These could be
electrical shock or burn hazards. Ensure that a proper electrostatic discharge device is used, to prevent damage to electronic components. Do not attempt internal service of equipment unless another person, capable of rendering aid and resuscitation, is
present. Do not work near rotating fans unless absolutely necessary. Exercise caution to prevent fans from taking in foreign
objects, including hair, clothing, and loose objects. Use care when moving equipment, especially rack-mounted modules, which could become unstable. Certain items
may be heavy. Use proper care when lifting.
Change List for Rev B, 19 August 2011 Added material supporting the use of the EIU card for connecting with Acom EVO consoles.

Ethernet Interface Unit (EIU)
P/N 950-0860
Overview
The EIU is an Acom card that provides Ethernet connectivity for Acom backroomequipment such as the Acom DS3 Subrack (ADS) and Acom Line Subrack (ALS). TheEIU is primarily used for two purposes: to connect with Acom EVO Consoles over an IPnetwork, and to connect with Zetron Intelligent Radio Interface Modules (iRIMs).
The two Ethernet ports on the EIU support network redundancy provided they areconnected to a redundant network configuration. The EIU card has LEDs that providevisible indication of network activity and redundancy status. Configuration andadjustments are performed via the Integrated Management System (IMS).
The EIU card has the following features:
Compatible with network redundancy Local and remote debugging access HTTP access to statistics Hot plugging capability Failsafe firmware

Overview
8 025-9620BC.1
EIU for Acom EVO Consoles
The EIU, when installed in an Acom DS3 Subrack (ADS), provides access for AcomEVO Consoles over an Ethernet LAN. Each EIU supports up to two groups of consoles.Each console group supports:
Up to 10 consoles, depending on configuration. A maximum of 30 console interface channels between all consoles. A maximum of 256 digital audio connections between all consoles (monitoring a
radio takes one connection, a monitored or selected line with parallel activitymay take two connections).
A shared IGMP multicast address to minimize console messaging in the group. Redundant Ethernet connections to the LAN. Consoles with redundant IP connections to the multiple EIU.
The EIU card, when used with Acom EVO Consoles, has the following features:
Interleaved audio multiplexing into RTP streams to/from the IP console. Selectand Monitor channels form a single RTP stream to the console.
RTCP statistics for the RTP streams. PCM to RTP conversion with clock rate adjustment. G711 audio codec for clear voice. Dynamic jitter buffer to minimize latency and packet-loss. IP console connectivity and data messaging using UDP and IMGP. 802.1P Differentiated Services QoS tagging of traffic. May be installed in ADS slot 2-4. Up to 3 EIU cards may be installed in an ADS shelf.
EIU for Intelligent Radio Interface Modules
The EIU, when installed in an Acom Line Subrack (ALS), connects to Zetron IntelligentRadio Interface Modules (iRIMs) over a LAN. Each EIU supports up to 30 full duplexradio channels. The EIU provides the data interface to 30 iRIM channels, while the AcomRadio Interface Unit (RIU) card provides the analog voice interface to the iRIMs. 1 EIUand 5 RIU cards will support 30 iRIM channels (15 iRIMs). The EIU provides data
connectivity to Tetra iRIMs.
The EIU card, when used with iRIMs, adds the following features:
IP control of Tetra radios via the Zetron iRIM Handles up to 30 channels concurrently Line Subrack redundancy, the main/backup EIU sync via an Ethernet cross-over
cable on the 3rd LAN port for seamless changeover May be installed in ALS slot 1-11

Description of Major Functional Blocks
The following describes the major functional blocks illustrated in the above diagram.
Block DescriptionMicroprocessorSystem
The microprocessor system combines a CPU with internal HDLC communicationscontroller, memory, watchdog timer and reset circuitry to provide overallmanagement of the EIU resources. The microprocessor system controls the PCMsignal paths located in the FPGA and any option boards that are plugged into theexpansion interface. It handles communications to the Ethernet ports via FastEthernet Controllers and the FPGA.
Ethernet Controllers The Ethernet controllers for the Primary and Standby interfaces are coupled directlyto programmable logic (CPLD) for filtering off unwanted received multicast
packets. Unicast and broadcast addresses are unaffected.
Ethernet Ports IEEE 802.3 (10Base-T/100Base-T) ports for the Primary and Standby interfaces tothe communications network, and for the redundant link between the EIU cards.
FPGA Logic andInterface Circuits
Within the FPGA, transmit and receive audio is fed into CODECs handling theconversion between VoIP and PCM audio as well as -law to G.711 A-lawconversions. The PCM digital audio, as well as the various digital input and outputsignals for all channels, are conditioned by the FPGA to interface to the correct
backplane PCM bus and timeslot for each channel.
HDLC to Backplane An HDLC controller located inside the microprocessor is used to communicate withmaster controller card located in slot 0 of the subrack.
USB Port The USB port allows for card debugging, event monitoring, and firmware upgrades.
Status LEDs These LEDs show alarm, network and redundancy status conditions.
Expansion Interface This interface allows for adding hardware codecs and signal processing for future
options.

Connector Detail
Primary Ethernet (J1)
This provides the primary Ethernet connection to an Acom EVO console or Zetron iRIM by way of a LAN.
Each RJ45 Ethernet interface operates at 10/100Mbps autosense for LAN connectivity.The Ethernet interfaces host a HTTP server for web statistics, an FTP server for firmwareupdates, and a Telnet server for diagnostics.
Note The Ethernet interfaces have no default IP address, the ports aredisabled until configured in IMS.

16/21
Interfaces
16 025-9620BC.1
Standby Ethernet (J2)
This provides the standby Ethernet connection to an Acom EVO console or Zetron iRIM,assuming the LAN has a redundant network configuration.
For the ALS EIU installation, all iRIM connections occur via the active J1/J2 port. ALAN fault will move the iRIM connections to the other interface.
For the EVO Console installation, both console groups operate via the active J1/J2 port.Loop1 and Loop2 will operate from the same interface until a fault causes a changeoverof both loops to the other interface.
The J1 and J2 Ethernet ports share a common Floating IP address that allows them to
seamlessly host incoming connections and communicate on whichever port is functional.The active port (indicated by LED) responds to messages while the inactive port doesnot.
Debug/Redundancy Link (J3)
When installed in an ADS, J3 provides telnet debug functionality only, it has no affect onredundancy.
When installed in an ALS, J3 provides the redundancy link between primary and standbyEIU cards. The redundant EIU card must be in a redundant Acom Line Subrack. The
cable between J3 on each EIU card is a Ethernet crossover, swapping pins 1,2 for 3,6.
Debug Port (J4)
This port provides a USB interface between the EIU and a local maintenance terminal viaa Type-B jack. The connected PC may use this interface to update firmware or issuediagnostic commands via a dumb-terminal such as HyperTerminal. The Debug Port
presents itself to the PC as a serial COM port with the following settings: 460,800 baud,no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
P1 BDM
