1.0 Introduction
The Model 458-CC-16/458-CM (16-Slot Chassis
& Control Module) accepts 1 - 16 line modules and controls from 1 - 128
channels. It is ideal for testing DSL modems and other bandwidth-compliant
telecom devices in a high-volume production environment. While the
458-CC-16/458-CM can be used as a stand-alone unit, the 458-CM interfaces
with a PC via RS-232, IEEE-488, or Ethernet. Line lengths and configuration
settings appear on an LCD display on the front of the unit and can be set
via a keypad. For added convenience, the 458-CM firmware is
field-upgradeable through the RS-232 port.
The Model 458-CC-16/458-CM is used with our advanced 458 Line
Modules that simulate several cable types and offer the bandwidth
requirements for today’s xDSL technologies such as varieties of ADSL, ADSL2+
and VDSL2. User-friendly GUIs
(included with line modules) provide another means of controlling loop
lengths and communication parameters. For more information about Telebyte’s
plug-in line modules, refer to the individual datasheets or manuals.
i
While the 458-CC-16 (16-Slot
Chassis) and 458-CM (Control Module) are purchased separately, they are both
addressed in this manual, together or separately, as required.
Chassis
The 458-CC-16 may be mounted in a
standard 19-in rack and accepts a maximum of 16 Line Modules.
The front of the Model 458-CC-16 is shown
with the 458-CM and 16 line modules installed.
Control Module
The image above shows the connectors on
the back of the 458-CM, labeled
RS232, IEEE-488 and Ethernet.
The 458-CM is used to configure a Line
Module to a particular length via a pushbutton keypad on the front of the
unit. The user may also use the IEEE-488, RS-232 or Ethernet port for remote
control. When configured for IEEE-488, the 458-CM can be operated from an
IEEE Controller such as a PC equipped with an IEEE interface board. In
RS-232 mode, the unit can be connected to any RS-232 device (e.g., a
terminal or PC) that has a terminal emulation program such as Hyper Terminal
installed. In Ethernet mode, RS-232 commands are sent over an Ethernet
connection. This allows a remote PC connected to a LAN to communicate with
the 458-CM.
i In order to send RS-232
commands over an Ethernet connection, this feature must be enabled. Refer to
section Enabling Ethernet Connectivity for detailed instructions.
Line Module Series
A maximum of 16 Model 458 Line Modules
(sold separately) can be placed into the chassis. Each 458 Line Module can
be individually set by the 458-CM. Communications between the 458-CM and the
458 Line Module are via a backplane. The backplane will pass power and the
signals to control the length of each card. The RJ-45 connectors used to
connect to the unit to be tested are mounted directly on the 458 Line
Module. Telebyte provides GUI software for a user-friendly interface when
configuring 458 Line Modules (available for download from our Web site at
www.telebytebroadband.com). Refer to the individual documentation for more
information on our Line Module series.

Enabling Ethernet Connectivity
RS-232 commands may be sent over an Ethernet connection to control the Model
458-CM. This is made possible by a Lantronix XPort transceiver installed in the
unit. A one-time set up must be performed to assign an IP address to the
transceiver and configure a virtual COM port. This is all done using a remote
PC. It requires one software installation to assign an IP address to the
transceiver and a second one to configure the virtual COM port.
