Section 5 – Remote Control Operation
This section discusses multiplexer physical connections for remote control and various ways you can
remotely configure and operate an ACS-160 Series or STL-160 Series multiplexer. You can physically
connect your multiplexer in one of three ways:
● A serial cable connection to the shelf via the remote port (Section 5.1.1)
● DS0 management communication (Section 5.1.2)
● An SCM-IP module and an MA-440 module adapter connecting to an IP network (Section 5.1.3)
Likewise, you can use one of these interfaces to configure and operate the multiplexer:
● IntraGuide Configuration and Management Software (all three connections – Section 5.2.1)
● SNMP via the SCM-IP module (third connection – Section 5.2.2)
● Intraplex Simple Command Language (ISiCL – first two connections – Section 5.2.3)
5.1 Physical Connections
5.1.1 Remote Port
The ACS-160 Series and STL-160 Series multiplexers can be set up and monitored via the RS-232
remote port, which can be connected in any of these ways:
● To a local PC (Figure 5-1)
● In a daisy-chain manner with other Intraplex control modules (Figure 5-2)
● To an SCM-IP module (Figure 5-3)
A terminal multiplexer has one remote port while a dual terminal or drop and insert multiplexer has
two remote ports. Remote ports are RS-232C compatible, asynchronous, serial interfaces which can
operate at baud rates from 110 bps to 57.6 kbps. Each CM-5RB common module has one remote port
connector. The remote port connector also includes an RS-485 interface which can be used to create a
daisy-chain connection to other Intraplex systems.
The remote port for each CM-5RB module is located on its associated module adapter. The MA-215,
MA-217B, and MA-235-2 module adapters have RJ-11 jacks for the remote port. The pin assignments
for this connector appear in Section 3.6.4 - Remote Port Wiring (Optional).
Figure 5-1. Direct Connection to Multiplexer
Note: You can also connect multiple CM-5RB modules in a daisy-chain configuration with the output
of a common module connected to the input of another common module, using special
Intraplex cables and adapters.
