INSTALLATION
Before the RFL VF-16B can be placed in service, it must be installed in a multiplexer shelf.
Installation involves determining the module slot in the Main Shelf or Expansion Shelf where the
module will be installed, inserting a Module Adapter into the rear of the shelf behind the module slot,
connecting all signal wiring to the Module Adapter, checking the settings of all switches, and inserting
the module into the front of the shelf.
NOTES
1. Power supply and time slot considerations may affect the installation of this module
into an existing multiplexer shelf. Refer to the multiplexer manual for more information.
2. On-Board Ring Generator: Normally ring generators external to the chassis are not
required because the VF-16B module has an on-board ring generator. However module
adapter MA-302 and MA-302A use an external ring generator for enhanced distance and
ring capabilities.
Although the VF-16B may be used with the MA-304 and MA-304B module adapters
(which have ring generators), the VF-16B will disable the on-board ring generators.
The following instructions are provided for installing RFL VF-16B modules into existing systems. If
the module was included as part of a system, installation was done at the factory. Otherwise, proceed
as follows:
1. Carefully inspect the module for any visible signs of shipping damage. If you suspect damage
to the module, immediately call RFL Customer Service at the number listed at the bottom of
this page.
2. Determine the module slot in the Main Shelf or Expansion Shelf where the module will be
installed.
The RFL VF-16B module occupies one module slot in the Main Shelf or Repeater
Shelf.
3. Determine which Module Adapter will be used to make connections to the RFL VF-16B
module.
Each module in the IMUX 2000 multiplexer requires a Module Adapter. The
module adapter provides the appropriate connector for the desired interface.
There are eight Module Adapters that are compatible with the RFL VF-16B:
