There are also 11 appendices (see Table of Contents) providing additional information. Note that there is also a FastPAD StrataView manual that provides a description of the StrataCom network node commands (i.e., IPX) used to interconnect FastPADs to a network.
Check for damage to the outside and the inside of the shipping container. If any damage is noted, contact both StrataCom and the shipping carrier to report damage.
Use the following unpacking and repackaging guidelines:
Take inventory of the complete package to ensure that all necessary parts are present. In addition to the base unit, an accessory box containing power and telephone cords, EMI filters, and a data cable is included. A quick review of your pre-installation site survey form, purchase order, and shipping list should reveal any discrepancies.
The installation site should be compatible with the location used for other electronic equipment. That is, the building should be free from excessive dust and moisture. The room should not exceed the recommended temperature range and should provide ready access to PTT/telco and data cabling. The installation location should allow for ample air flow and room for service access to cables and wiring.
Please verify that the power system used at the installation site provides a proper earth ground. A 3-pin grounding power cord is supplied with the FastPAD. A grounding-type receptacle should be in the vicinity of the FastPAD; do NOT operate the FastPAD with the ground conductor disconnected. Additionally, verify that the FastPAD voltage setting matches the voltage provided by the facility where it will be installed.
In most cases, telephone equipment is connected to the FastPAD with RJ11 and RJ45 modular connectors. To connect bulk telephone wiring, PTT/telco-type spay lug lock blocks should be used. The facilities must be pre-wired with the appropriate type of cabling. In addition, proper grounding between the PBX and the equipment is essential for telephone circuits that use E&M signalling. See Appendix B (E&M Signaling Interface) for additional information.
Appropriate digital transmission facilities should be available at the premises prior to the installation of the FastPAD. Because the composite connection is typically higher than 19.2 kbps, cabling between the composite port and the network termination device (modem, DSU, etc.) should use suitable twisted pair wiring.
The FastPAD provides five low speed (19.2 kbps and lower) RS-232 data channels. RS-232 specifications recommend the length of the cable be less than 50 feet. The sixth channel, the High Speed Data Channel, supports synchronous data only, with the capability of much higher speeds than the other five channels.
The recommended maximum cable length for other interfaces is defined in Chapter 5, Interface Adapters. Data cables provided by StrataCom conform to the unit product specifications. Data cable wiring is described in Appendix D.
Place the equipment in the location where it will be installed. Do not block the air holes along the sides and top of the unit or the fan at the rear of the unit. These openings must be kept clear for proper cooling of the equipment.
Label each cable that will be attached to the FastPAD to help ensure proper connections. Specific hardware installation procedures are described in Chapters 2 through 7 with the description of each hardware component. In general, the installation should be done in the following sequence:
To comply with FCC requirements, EMI filters must be installed on each telephone cable connected to the FastPAD. See Appendix E for details.
