NOMADIX EG 6000 Cabling and I-O Interfaces
About this Guide
The document provides information on the cables for connecting devices,
subscriber,s and HSIA Networks to the EG 6000. Includes pin assignments for
each type of physical interface along with specific information applicable to
V.24/RS232 connections and Ethernet LAN cabling. A list of general cabling
rules is also provided at the end of this document.
Reset Button
The Reset Button is a mechanical push mechanism accessible through an opening,
with a pencil lead size diameter tool (paper clip), in the front of the
chassis.
• Depress the Reset Button momentarily and release to restart the EG 6000. LCD
will display:
Restoring the Administrative Login and Password
• Depress and hold the Reset Button for 10+ seconds then release the Reset
Button, then EG 6000 will not restart, however the Administrative Login and
Password will be restored to default values and saved to flash. login: admin
password : admin
Syslog: contains a record of this action.
RJ45 PMS PORT
The EG 6000 utilizes the RJ45 Asynchronous port. An optional (sold separately)
PMS Serial Hardware Integration Kit (Part Number 715-5001-010) is available
and includes the necessary cable and built in optical isolator for circuit
protection to the Property Management System. The RJ45 provides the following
pinouts for PMS operation. Please note: this port is ONLY USED for PMS
(Property Management System), connecting other devices can result in
failure.
PIN| Signal Name| Direction| PIN| Signal Name|
Direction
---|---|---|---|---|---
1| RTS| out| 5| SGnd| –
2| DTR| out| 6| RXD| in
3| TXD| out| 7| DSR| in
4| SGnd| –| 8| CTD| in
The following figure depicts the typical connection from EG 6000 to PMS with RJ45 to DB9 connector The Optical Isolator is built into the connector designed to help protect the EG 6000 and PMS during power surges, hot plug in and lightning induction helping to avoid more costly repairs
EG 6000 RJ45 PMS TO PMS DTE
Please refer to NSE Configuration PMS for asynchronous speeds of 300 to 38,400
bps and character structure, data bits, stop bits and parity bits.
USB Console Port
An optional (sold separately) USB 3.0 (Type A) Console port cable (Part No. 715-4001-001) presents a DCE appearance and its pin-out is shown below, for direct connection to Laptop with DB9M connector. The USB Console Port is port labeled with the USB Trident Symbol . Only the upper port is used. The console port is typically only used during installation of the EG6000.
EG 6000 CONSOLE PORT CONNECTION TO LAPTOP
Please note: The EG 6000 Console port only supports asynchronous 9600bps 8N1. Laptop must be configured to match speed.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Gigabit Ethernet (1000 BaseT) uses all the pairs for bidirectional traffic in the RJ45 connector. Also known as IEEE802.3ab the standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper, it requires as least Category 5 cable, or better by using Category 5e (Category 5 enhanced) or Category 6 are recommended.
SFP Ports
SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) Gigabit Fiber ports require a Transceiver, see table below of various Transceivers
| Part Number | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 715-2010-001 | 1Gb Multi-Mode SFP 850nm Transceiver | Multi-Mode SFP’s work in |
the 850nm wavelength and are typically used for short distances
i.e. 100 to 500m.
715-2020-001| 1Gb Single Mode SFP 1310nm Transceiver| Single-Mode SFP’s work in the 1310 and 1550nm wavelength and are typically used for Long distances i.e. 2km+
SFP+ Ports
| Part Number | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 715-1010-001 | 10Gb Multi-Mode SFP 850nm Transceiver | Multi-Mode SFP’s work in |
the 850nm wavelength and are typically used for short distances
i.e. 100 to 500m.
715-1020-001| 10Gb Single Mode SFP 1310nm Transceiver| Single-Mode SFP’s work in the 1310 and 1550nm wavelength and are typically used for Long distances i.e. 2km+
SFP+ (Small Form Factor Pluggable) 10 Gigabit Fiber ports require a Transceiver, see table below of various Transceivers:
General Cable Rules
Following, is a list of general rules that apply to cables used with the EG 6000:
- All cables used to attach an external device to an EG 6000 must be shielded to ensure compliance with part 15 of the FCC code. Braid mesh shielding is highly recommended in combination with an overall foil shield. Braid mesh alone is the next best choice.
- Cables must provide adequate shielding such that the system will comply with the emission limits of EN 55022 and appropriate immunity requirements of EN 55024. Recommended cable length for EMC compliance is 3 meters. Cables longer than 3 meters may not comply with EMC requirements.
