Chapter 1: Introduction
DescriptionThe DataComm 9600R and 9600R/IFP Modems provide the capability through soft optioninsupport a primary data rate of 9600 bps, and fallback rates of 7200 bps (in V.29 mode) andbps. The modems support point-to-point or multipoint applications and synchronous or asynchronous data formats. The DataComm 9600R modems are completely software contrand all configuration options, including the network address, can be downline loaded from thcentral site. Remote site installation/replacement is thus simplified since modem options areconfigured from the Intelligent Front Panel. All configuration operations are stored by the moin the nonvolatile memory.
The DataComm 9600R modem includes an integral diagnostic design that overlays an "out-band" or secondary diagnostic channel onto the modem communication link. This diagnostichannel provides a communication path for the IFP controller, permitting continuous, noninterfering monitoring of Voice Frequency (VF) line parameters, digital EIA leads, as wethe modem's own internal operation.
Two inbound/outbound control signals are offered with the units allowing remote supervisorsecurity capability. An optional DBU-89 (single-call) Dial Backup Card is also available to maintain communications in the event of primary circuit failure. Part numbers of models andassemblies available for the DataComm 9600R, as well as DataComm9600R/IFP with the Intelligent Front Panel, are listed in Appendix B. Technical characteristics are given in Appendix A.
The first 4 chapters of this manual refer specifically to the DataComm 9600R, but also apply DataComm 9600R/IFP. Information specific to the DataComm 9600R/IFP is found in Chapter 5, Intelligent Front Panel.

Unpacking and Handling
The DataComm 9600R is shipped in packing material enclosed in a corrugated box. Inspecmodem for damage; if any, notify the shipper immediately. Do not discard the box and packmaterial; their use will facilitate reshipping the unit, if necessary.
Preoperational Check
The modem should be given a preoperational check by performing an Analog Loopback Seland ANALOOP test to verify normal operation before it is connected to the VF line and termSee Chapter 4, Tests for instructions on performing these tests. First verify that option strappinthe same as shown in Figure 2-1, and perform the test on a standalone modem before it is conneto anything except ac power, and on shelf plug-in modems as they are individually installed
If the modem passes these tests, notify the IFP operator to perform a What Are You? command. This verifies that the appropriate serial-numbered unit is installed on the line.
Ask the IFP operator to send commands to the unit. If data is sent from the IFP on the installethe Data light should flash. If the addressed unit responds to the data the Resp light will be on.
The remote unit indicates the above; in addition the CO light will be on, indicating that the unit is receiving a carrier signal.
If the modem fails to pass data, some error has been made in installation or configuration. Rthe cable wiring, optioning, and configurations, and perform the tests in Chapter 4, Tests to isolate the fault. In the event that the modem does not check out properly, replace it with a spare mand recheck. For assistance, refer to the “Service, Support and Training” section in the prefthis manual.
Installation Procedures
The DataComm 9600R modem's printed circuit card may be mounted in a DataComm EnclDataComm Shelf, or Universal System Shelf.

Electrical ConnectionsThe following paragraphs describe the power line, business equipment and private line conneto the DataComm 9600R modem.
Standalone Enclosure
The modem is equipped with a captive ac power cord terminated in a molded three-prong pConnect the cord to a polarized outlet providing the required ac power. The outlet should nounder switch control. The modem should be powered by the same ac source as the equipminterfaced with the unit to prevent large circulating currents caused by differences in groundpotential. If it is not possible to determine whether the equipment is powered by the same ac sit should be verified that a potential difference of less than 0.25 V rms exists between the groucircuits of the respective power outlets.
Rackmount Shelf
The modem obtains power directly from the Shelf when properly installed as instructed undRackmount Installation.
Note When installing the modem base card with the DBU-89 Dial Backup Card, insert both cardinto the front of the Shelf. Be sure that the DBU-89 edge connector mates with the adjacenTELEPHONE connector located along the lower part of the shelf.
CAUTION This unit incorporates fusible links, FL1 and FL2, (illustrated in Figure 2-1), which may be opened if the ground potential exceeds 0.25 V rms between the unit and peripheral equipment. Do not apply power to the modem until all connections to peripheral equipmhave been made. If a fusible link is opened in a modem, return the unit to the factory forrepair.

When the DataComm 9600R is installed in the Standalone Enclosure, the preferred method wire private line connection is by inserting the connector on the private line (GDC part no. 8308XX can be used) into the modular RJ45 connector located on the enclosure's rear panel. Aalternate method of private line connection is by routing the four-wire private line (GDC part023H101-XXX can be used) through the "PRIVATE LINE" access hole on the rear panel anconnecting it to the four terminal screws as illustrated in Figure 2-3 . (Refer to Appendix D for pin designations.)
If the modem is rackmounted in a DataComm Shelf, the four wire private line is connected ttop four screws of the terminal block mounted on the shelf’s rear panel. If the modem is moin the Universal System Shelf, the plastic cover attached at the rear of the backplane must fremoved to expose the VF terminal blocks. These blocks accommodate wires which do notterminal lugs. Remove the lugs and a portion of the insulation on the existing cable and insewires into the block by first unscrewing the captive screw for that portion of the terminal. Repthe plastic cover. (Refer to Appendix D for pin designations.)
In either case, before making the connection, verify that the terminal block corresponds to threceptacle in which the modem card is installed. See Figure 2-4.

DBU-89 Card Option - Connect the switched network line directly to the modular receptaclelabeled "Switched Network 2W” on the rear of the standalone enclosure (see Figure 2-3). For the shelf installation, connect the switched network line directly to either the terminal block or tomodular receptacle located on the rear of the shelf (see Figure 2-4).
Option SelectionMost options on the DataComm 9600R are soft option controlled by the IFP. A port-line-dromethod of addressing is incorporated in the IFP system. A port address is determined by thconnection of the master modem to the IFP controller. The modem line and drop addressesselected by the operator of the IFP by assigning the appropriate addresses based on the senumber of the product that is in the system.
Although the Auto-Verify Routine may be used in most cases to find the serial number of thewithout opening the unit, this may not always be possible because of various line disruptionTherefore, the serial number should be reported initially when installing the unit. Table 2-1 provides application notes for each hard option available on the DataComm 9600R modem.
Installation RecommendationsAs all set up options and tests are administered by the Intelligent Front Panel, see Setup and Installation Using the IFP on page 5-39 for details.
Note All 9600R products contain a serial number. This number must be reported to the IFP operwhen the system is initially installed and configured. The 16-digit serial number (beginning w0040) of the modem is found on the top two lines of the U19 PROM label. Refer to Figure 2-1 for location of the PROM. In standalone enclosures, the cover of the modem must be removgain access to the serial number. Disconnect power supply and phone connections prior to removal of the cover.

Dial Backup Option
Dial Backup (DBU-89)
Dial backup may be provided by the DBU-89 Card which is factory installed onto the DataC9600R. It operates as a slave to the unit. The DBU-89 provides point-to-point operation ove2-wire switched network lines. It transmits and receives data at 9600 bps with Trellis Encodin4800 bps without Trellis Encoding. The DBU-89 allows full-duplex operation over all terrestrlinks and double hop satellite circuits.
Configuration and control of the DBU-89 Dial Back-Up Card are performed by the IFP ControInstructions covering configuration and control of the DBU-89 are provided in Chapter 5, Intelligent Front Panel .
DBU-89 Diagnostics
The DBU-89 Dial Backup Card supports a unique set of diagnostics described below. Certaiare performed using only the basecard without active participation of the DBU-89.
DBU-89 Self-Test - This test causes the DBU-89 to loopback its analog interface and run a teverify its operation. This test may be run while on the private line or switched network. If theis run while on the private line, it is noninterfering. If the test is run while on the switched netwthe call will terminate.
CRAFT Jack Female jack used by the IFP to configure, test or troubleshoot non IFP 9600R units.(This port does not support VT100 terminal.)
DIAL Button Press to manually send a dialing command. (Only with optional DBU backup on 9600R.)
NORM/TEST
3-Position Switch
OFF - center positionTEST - one push turns on a 511 self-test generator/receiver and analoop. TEST OK indicator lights and flashes off to indicate errors. NORM indicator is off. (Even if the switch is not pushed a second time, the unit is preprogrammed to drop into analoop for a measured interval, then automatically return to the normal position.)NORM - one push returns the data set to normal operation.
Note Once the dial backup is initiated because of lease line failure, it will remain engaged until the operamanually drops the call through the IFP menu or by momentary disruption of the switch network contion.

Modem Self-Test - When the IFP initiated modem self-test is performed on the 9600R data sequipped with a DBU-89, the DBU-89 does not participate in the test. The modem self-test pthe private line modem in loopback and verifies the private line data pump. This test is interfwhether the modem is on the private line or switched network.
Front Panel (Dataset) Test - This test is run from the Data Set's front panel switch. It tests bothe DBU-89 and the base card. This test is interfering on the private line and terminates thethe data set is in dial backup. The DBU dial button is not available on the 9600R/IFP equippeDBU-89. To manually force a DBU on a 9600R/IFP with DBU, you must disconnect the lealine cable.
Special Considerations for Use with RPA UnitsThe DataComm 9600R modems are compatible with existing 9600RPAs. However, using thmodels together in a network requires some special considerations.
• Point-to-Point application between a 9600R or 9600R/IFP and a 9600RPA is not suppor
• Multi-Point is supported with a 9600R/IFP as the master. Remotes can be 9600R, 9600or 9600RPA units. If the multi-point network has a combination of RPAs and non-RPAs,sure all the RPA units have RTS OFF whenever the 9600R/IFP is attempting to attach tremote 9600R using the VF. RTS must also be OFF on all RPAs to perform an ACE Calibration. Also, 9600RPAs must be optioned for 19.5 ms Training Sequence and the 9600R/IFPs must be optioned for a 9600 Mode Template.

Chapter 4: Tests
OverviewThis section describes the tests that may be performed on the DataComm 9600R from the fpanel after installation or whenever operation of the modem must be checked. These tests aused to isolate problems in the data communications system (refer to the fault-isolation procin Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1 Fault Isolation Procedure
Analoop with Self-TestOne push of the switch checks the local modem while most of its circuits are isolated from ttelephone line. It uses an internal test pattern generator and detector, instead of a business mto originate and monitor tests signals. The TEST OK indicator is lit, and flashes to indicate errorsThe NORM indicator remains off.
Note The DataComm 9600R modem may be performance tested in two ways. Tests can be initifrom the IFP or front panel of the modem using the Norm /Test switch. Use of these tests dinstallation of the communications network, after installation of the unit, or following repair allows you to isolate problems in the system.

Chapter 5: Intelligent Front Panel
Intelligent Front Panel (IFP) DescriptionThe Intelligent Front Panel (IFP) is factory installed on the DataComm 9600R/IFP Modem proas an alternative, not as a replacement for the existing standard front panel. The IFP is a cofor small networks. At least one IFP must be present in a network to command other DataC9600R Modems to perform configuration, diagnostics, control and maintenance functions, aas monitor alarms and status conditions.
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is comprised of two lines of 16-characters each. The fourmomentary pushbutton function keys are used to operate the IFP. Serial communications witDataComm 9600R or 9600R/IFP Modems is accomplished using the front panel jack. All ILEDs, as well as the test switch, are identical to those used on the standard DataComm 96Modems and operate in the same manner (see Chapter 3, Operation , Table 3-1). The IFP is illustrated below.
The part numbers for DataComm 9600R Modems equipped with the IFP are listed in Appendix B, Equipment List. Technical characteristics are listed in Appendix A, Technical Characteristics.

Installation, Operation and Testing
With the exception of the IFP operation described herein, installation and testing of the DataC9600R/IFP Modems (using the NORM/TEST switch) is the same as that described for the DataComm 9600R Modem with the standard front panel. Refer to Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of thmanual to install, operate and test the DataComm 9600R/IFP Modem.
Keypad Operation
The Intelligent Front Panel (IFP) is controlled using the four function keys. The test commandgenerated from routines which are selected by using these keys. (See Table 5-1 for illustration of the function keys.)
The IFP requests information through short English-language menu prompts which allow yospecify the information necessary to complete the step.
If a question or prompt has several possible answers, all choices are accessible by scrolling tthe choices using either the PREV or NEXT keys. To make a selection, select the appropriateby pressing the SEL key.
IFP Operation
The IFP is used for configuration, control, diagnostics, maintenance and monitoring of mastremote DC9600R modems in a data communications network. With the IFP attached to a hmodem, it is used as a portable front-panel interface to DC9600R units of the same family ftesting, troubleshooting and configuration.
Configuration information is uploaded to the IFP from the selected unit, or is downloaded tounit from the IFP. The configuration routines allow you to display or modify configurations whare accessible at the IFP. This information includes (when applicable) modem options, alarmthresholds, alarm masks, and dial backup options.
General operation of the IFP employs the use of a special reversed cable. Using this cable,DataComm 9600R Intelligent Front Panel can be connected to the front panel of the single DC9600R unit, or it can be used to allow communication between the host modem and anothThe illustration below shows the Intelligent Front Panel cable.

Intelligent Pointer Feature
A powerful feature of the IFP is the intelligent pointer. Using information obtained from the uthe intelligent pointer skips unneccesary information screens. This feature simplifies IFP opesince it prevents the system from displaying irrelevant options or features which may be confThe intelligent pointer is automatically employed in all modes of operation with decisions basthe following information.
Gaining Access To A Unit
There are three ways to gain access to a unit, as follows:
• The IFP can communicate with the Host unit (DataComm 9600R) on which it is physicalmounted when you select HOST in response to the ENGAGE prompt.
• The IFP can communicate with another DataComm 9600R Modem via the front panel jaconnecting a special cable (see Figure 5-1) between the two units and selecting FP JACK inresponse to the ENGAGE prompt.
• The IFP can communicate with any DataComm 9600R remote via the secondary channel of tengaged unit provided that the correct address or serial number is entered in response ATTACH prompt.
A successful engagement is a prerequisite for communication with any 9600R unit. ThereforIFP will not allow access to any other menu functions until the engage function is complete.
The attach function allows communication with any remote DataComm 9600R unit downstrethe engaged unit, provided that either the address or serial number is known and the engagis set to fake master. (See Option Selection section in Chapter 2 for location of serial numbe

Transparent Mode
When using an DataComm 9600R/IFP unit to engage another DataComm 9600R/IFP unit vfront panel jack cable, the unit to be engaged must perform in the same manner as a standaDataComm 9600R unit. Therefore, the IFP on the DataComm 9600R unit must operate transparently so as not to interfere with the data being transferred between the front panel jathe DataComm 9600R. The transparent mode is entered by disengaging the IFP from the DataComm 9600R. This is accomplished by pressing the ESC key until the product level scappears.
Password Level
When the password is enabled, the Password level displays by pressing the SEL key after tProduct Level (top screen) is displayed. The password level routine controls entry to the modidisplay modes of operation.
Inactivity Timeout Security Feature
The inactivity timeout feature is used in conjunction with the Password enable mode. This femonitors the keys for a 15-minute period of inactivity. If no activity is detected within the 15-miperiod, the IFP automatically reverts to the top level screen and logs out. This feature is disathe password disabled mode is selected.

Diagnostics
The Diagnostics group provides the capability to perform diagnostic tests. To enter this groufollow the sequence shown in Figure 5-15.
Figure 5-15 Diagnostics Sequence
The diagnostic tests supported by the IFP are "interfering", that is they temporarily disrupt communications. Because of this, diagnostics are only available during the modify mode. Mmode is automatically selected when a password is not required, or when a password is requientered correctly.
Once you have pressed SEL in response to the Diagnostics prompt, up to four test modes waccessible. You can scroll through the test mode options by pressing either the PREV or NEkeys. To initiate a test, you press SEL in response to the test displayed on the screen.
If the test selected is an end-to-end type test, the IFP will prompt you for the target line and address for the test. Once the information is entered, and before any test starts, the IFP promas follows: INTERFERING TEST PRESS SEL TO EXE. The test will start once you press SEresponse to the prompt.
During diagnostic tests, the following restrictions apply:
• The IFP is always assumed to be engaged to the source unit in any end-to-end test. Furththe source unit cannot be a remote unit. Therefore, the IFP can only perform an end-to-ewhen it is both Engaged and Attached to a master unit.
• End-to-end tests across the Front Panel (FP) jack are not allowed since this is not considcommunication data link.
• During Dataloop, the target unit is placed in loopback not the local unit. The target mustoptioned for receive timing prior to the test.

Maintenance
The Maintenance group provides the capability to display or perform various maintenance functions on the unit to which the IFP is attached. This group has two modes of operation; dmode, and modify mode. Display mode is automatically selected when a password is requirnot entered. In this mode, the user can display, but not modify the maintenance informationunit to which the IFP is currently attached. Modify mode is automatically selected when a pasis not required, or when a password is required and correctly entered. In this mode, you can and/or perform maintenance functions on the unit to which the IFP is currently attached.
The Maintenance group is entered in the sequence shown in Figure 5-17.

What Are You?
When selected, the WHAT ARE YOU command causes the addressed unit to respond withmessage identifying the type and revision level of the device at that system address, the procode, and the firmware revision level. Once the command is issued, by pressing SEL, you haccess to the information shown in Table 5-15, one screen at a time, by pressing the PREV or NEXkeys.
Front Panel Control
If you press the SEL button in response to FRONT PANEL CONTROL, the IFP will query yoenable or inhibit the front panel test switch. When you press SEL, the unit responds COMPLand the function that was last displayed is initiated. Table 5-16 shows these choices.
Software Reset
The Software Reset subgroup is available during the modify mode only. It enables you to pea soft reset on the attached unit. This routine places the modem in a temporary reset conditiosoftware reset may be used to clear failure conditions on the unit. The reset, however, placefunctions of the unit in an OFF state; dial backup connections are disconnected, and the motransfer units switch operations to the primary modem at a given drop.
When you press SEL in response to the SOFTWARE RESET prompt, the IFP will prompt yPRESS SEL TO EXECUTE. This extra input is designed to help prevent accidental executiosoftware reset. You can press ESC to back out of this function.
Note that resetting the Host unit causes the Host to reset the IFP. This does not occur on a unit since only the Host can reset the IFP. If the unit has been reset, it must be re-engaged.

Erase Configuration
The Erase Configuration subgroup erases the configuration stored in the Data Set. This roushould be used only as a last resort when the Data Set does not accept a configuration chadoes not operate according to its configuration.
Once you erase the configuration in the Data Set, it reverts to a factory default configurationData Set may or may not operate properly, depending on the requirements of its applicationerasing configurations, the Data Set must be re-engaged and given an address.
When you press SEL in response to ERASE CONFIGURATION, the IFP will prompt you to PRESS SEL TO EXECUTE. This extra input is designed to help prevent accidental erasureData Set's configuration. You can press ESC to back out of this function.
If you press SEL to initiate the erase function, the configuration is erased from the attachedresulting in a default configuration.
Note that the erase function causes the Host to reset the IFP. This does not occur on a remsince only the Host can reset the IFP. If the erase function is performed, the unit must be re-e
Assign Address
The Assign Address subgroup is available during modify mode only. It enables you to re-asunit's address (line, drop) when given the proper serial number. This allows a replacement ube configured with the same address as a malfunctioning unit, prior to replacement. When yoSEL in response to the assign address prompt, the IFP will ask you to input the serial numbeunit that will be given a new address. You input the serial number and then press SEL.
The IFP will then prompt you to input the new line address. Input the line address, move the bcursor to END, and press SEL.
The IFP will, one more time, ask you to enter the new drop address. After you enter the droaddress, press SEL.
If ASSIGN is successful, the IFP displays, ASSIGNED TO LINE XXX DROP XX. If ASSIGNunsuccessful, the IFP displays, ASSIGN FAILED ESC=ABT SEL=RTRY.
The Assign Address process is illustrated in Table 5-17.
ACE Calibration (Automatic Calibration Equalizer)
The ACE Calibration subgroup is available during the modify mode only. The IFP treats the calibration function as any other point-to-point test by requiring the user to enter the target adand using the engaged unit as the source address. ACE calibration will attempt to adjust theequalization on both the target and source modems to obtain optimal performance given the line conditions. Once the function is started, it will execute automatically until successful completion which can take up to three minutes, or until a failure condition is encountered. Usuccessful completion of ACE Calibration, both modems have been equalized for current linconditions.
