1.2 Getting Technical Assistance

Technical support is available to all Glenayre customers. Telephone support is
available every weekday between the hours of 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM ET (USA).
Other hours must be arranged in advance. Emergency service for down systems
only is available 24 hours a day. To get the quickest response, please follow these
guidelines:
Have available all of the information about the system or product you are
experiencing problems with or have questions about. You will be asked to
provide your name, phone number, address, and company name.
If possible, try the operation several times to determine that the system
response is identical under identical circumstances. If the problem is not
repeatable, or if the responses are different for each attempt, make a note of
the input process, output results, and differences. If the problem is
completely random, try to repeat the situation until a pattern of cause and
effect can be distinguished. In any case, document all parts of the problem
thoroughly and have your notes in front of you when you call.
If you are calling with a system problem, be at the terminal ready to execute
any instructions given by the technical representative. Have all manuals
and documentation immediately available.

General Information
1.4 General Precautions

Glenayre manufactures and tests all its products in a static-controlled
environment. Improper handling may result in a decrease of component
performance or failure. Please observe the following guidelines when handling
any removable assembly.
1. Make sure you are grounded and working in a static-controlled
environment.
2. Handle assemblies only by the edges; avoid contact with the connectors.
3. NEVER INSTALL AN ASSEMBLY INTO A POWERED-ON SYSTEM,
unless it is clearly indicated that it is safe to do so. As a general rule, you
can install assemblies that have a power switch with the switch in the OFF
position. Only after you seat and secure them should you power on the
assembly.
4. Never force a connection. Assemblies which are difficult to seat are not
normal. Check the following:
Make sure that nothing is obstructing the connectors, cables, etc.
Verify that the card is in the proper slot and seated in the guides
properly.
5. Verify the strappings before installation. Use the information from the
following sections to be sure that you properly configure the assemblies
before installation.
Cabinet doors should remain closed and locked during normal operation for
proper cooling and safety reasons.

1.5 Compliance Statements, Notices, Warnings, Etc.
1.5.1 United States
1.5.1.1 Equipment Attachment Limitations
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The label affixed to this
equipment contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number
and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. The telephone
company must be given notification prior to connection of this terminal system.
The table on the following page indicates the jacks which must be ordered to
secure the correct services and facilities, plus the REN, Service Order Code
(SOC), and Facility Interface Code (FIC) codes necessary to assure network
protection and tariff compliance.
The REN code is used to determine the maximum quantity of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five. To verify the number of devices
you may connect to your line, contact your local telephone company for
information on the maximum REN for your calling area.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If you have trouble with your equipment, please contact Glenayre Electronics for
information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask
that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service lines provided by the telephone
company.
Connections to party lines are subject to state tariffs. Contact your local
telephone company if you plan to use this equipment on party lines.
The installation of this product does not require any connections that will affect
either the internal or exterior wiring of other registered terminal equipment.

1.5.1.3 Radio Frequency Emissions
This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference; if this happens, the
user, at his own expense, will be required to correct the interference.
1.5.1.4 Notice Regarding Input Power
The user of this equipment must provide a DC power source from a battery array
or an NRTL-approved AC mains-to-DC converter that employs linear
technology. Use of a converter that employs switching technology may render
the system non-compliant.
1.5.1.5 Callflow Modifications
Modifying the callflows may cause the MVP to violate FCC regulations. Do not
make any changes to callflow files without consulting Glenayre Electronics.

1.5.2 Canada
1.5.2.1 Equipment Attachment Limitations
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified

service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian

maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any equipment malfunctions
or any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.

announcements need to be suitable for their purpose and compatible
with the apparatus.
Storage Medium:
The MVP uses a digital disk storage medium and is automatically ready to
record when the caller is invited to do so.
Exhaustion of Recording Medium:
When the MVP is idle and has less than thirty seconds of record time left, it
answers the caller and provides a message advising the caller that the mailbox is
full.
When the MVP is online and the mailbox storage becomes exhausted, it provides
a verbal closedown message.
Auto Calling Function
The MVP is not to be used for making automatic calls to the BT emergency
service.
Storage of Numbers for Auto Calling:
The MVP is capable of storing network telephone numbers entered by the

mailbox subscriber for subsequent auto calling. The mailbox user obtains a

System Overview
Static Protection
While the MVP is designed to be ESD resistant, static discharge problems can be
minimized by:
Ensuring the MVP and all attached peripheral devices are securely attached to
ground.
Keeping the relative humidity above 30%.
Positive Lead Requirements
The positive lead of the power input cable should be connected electrically to the
frame ground lead external to the system. The positive lead of the talk battery
supply output connects to a white lead in the power input cable. You can connect
this lead to a separate telco ground. Otherwise, you must connect this lead to an
earth ground external to the system.
2.5 Physical Description

The MVP mainframe consists of a cabinet, power supplies, fixed and removable
assemblies, cables, and connectors. The hardware is compact, affording
maximum performance in a relatively small space.
The cabinet is divided into four shelves. The top two shelves (A & B) contain the
telephone line interface cards. Shelf C holds VME bus cards, with Shelf D
dedicated to the disk drives. Extra space on the trunk shelves is used for the
Clock/Alarm module and tape streamer. Two power modules on each shelf
provide primary and redundant power. Each set of power supplies has a voltage
monitor card to check voltage and temperature. See Chapter 4. for available
configurations.
Normal maintenance and system expansion functions can be accomplished from

the front of the system. The rear door of the system is large enough to allow easy
access to the rear of the card shelves. During normal maintenance functions,
however, there should be no reason to access this area.
Note A key is required for access via both front and rear. All doors must be
locked after servicing.
WARNING! Rear entry or removal of a plug assembly exposes circuits

connected to the telephone network. Caution should
therefore be exercised during maintenance procedures
involving these areas.
22 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

The system console port is used for maintenance functions; the other
administrative terminals do not fully support all capabilities required by the
technician.
Light-emitting diodes on the front of most assemblies indicates system activity

or failure. An alarm card monitors system voltage and software operation. These
indicators are discussed more fully in the section pertaining to printed circuit
cards.
The MVP requires -48 VDC input power. Glenayre can recommend a 120/220
VAC converter for customers wishing to use AC power. For operation in the
U.K., any such converter must be BS6301 approved.
Fans provide the cooling for the system. The MVP frame is intended to operate
in a standard office environment: temperature and humidity controlled with a
reliable power source. It must never be operated under temperature and
humidity conditions that cause condensation.
2.6 Configurations
The MVP 2120 is available in several different configurations, depending on the
type and arrangement of the line cards on Shelves A & B. Currently available
configurations are depicted on the following pages.

SYSTEM INTERFACES
3.1 Administrative Interfaces

The MVP interfaces to CRTs, printers, modems, and other serial devices through
25-pin connectors on the rear door. The standard MVP has 10 serial ports;
expansion to 18 ports is available as an option. The ports on the rear door are
DB-25 connectors with signals conforming to the RS-232C standard. Pin
assignments for all ports except those labeled as CAM are as follows:

20 DTR 108/2 output Data Terminal Ready
PN 9110.00327 31
System Interfaces
Data is exchanged between the MVP and other serial devices using pins 2 and 3
of the serial port. For ports 0 and 1, the functions of pins 4, 5, 8 and 20 are
software defined. On all other ports, the pins are also software controlled but can
be tailored to provide hardware handshaking. In this mode, the MVP port will
not transmit data unless CTS is active or receive data unless DCD is active.
Note Since the MVP does not support handshaking on ports 0 and 1, use
these ports for CRT connections only.
WARNING! For use in the United Kingdom, all peripherals connected

to MVP ports must meet BS6301 standards.

Access to the CAM can be gained via either the passthr command or the modem
port. The normal configuration has CAM port 0 connected to an MVP port via a
straight-through cable.
Passthr establishes a communications link from the port it is executed on,

through the MVP to another device. Command syntax is passthr (serial port),
where serial port is a tty port which has no task created and is physically
connected to the device being accessed.
Note The passthr command can only be invoked on a tty port that has no
task created for it - use the setty -q command to check port
assignments. Additional information on both passthr and setty can be
found in the MVP Software Reference Manual, Appendix B.
For information on configuring the modem port, refer to port shell command
described in Section 6.2 of this manual.

3.3 Telco Interfaces
3.3.1 Wireline Connections

The MVP supports several types of analog telephone network interfaces. These
include 2-wire, 4-wire with E & M signalling, and 2-wire with E & M signalling.
Six types of E & M are supported. These are illustrated on the following pages.
An individual telephone interface is commonly referred to as a trunk or line.

This term encompasses all signal lines associated with a particular telco
connection. Four pairs (eight wires) are required for each trunk to support all of
the connection types. Not all pairs are used in every configuration. For example,
2-wire DDI trunks require only the Tip/Ring pair, whereas 4-wire E & M Type
2 requires all four pairs - Tip/Ring, Tip1/Ring1, E & M, and SG/SB.
For all 2-wire connections, the Tip/Ring (T/R) pair carries audio information in
both directions. Unless E & M signalling is used, the T/R pair also conveys
signalling information in the form of loop current and/or voltage polarity.
In 4-wire circuits, the T/R pair carries transmit audio from the MVP. The
Tip1/Ring1 (T1/R1) pair brings audio from the network into the MVP. E & M
signalling must be used on 4-wire circuits.
As trunk circuit equipment, the MVP always transmits on the M lead (mouth)
and receives on the E lead (ear).
36 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

Type I E & M The Type I interface is the original E & M lead signalling arrangement. Signalling
from the trunk circuit to the signaling facility is over the M lead using nominal
-48V for off-hook and local ground for on-hook. Signalling in the other direction
is over the E lead using local signaling facility ground for off-hook and open for
on-hook.
PN 9110.00327 37
System Interfaces
Type II E & M The Type II interface is a 4-wire, fully looped but asymmetric arrangement.
Signalling is by means of opens and closures across the M and SB (Signal Battery)
pair of leads for on-hook and off-hook, respectively. Since the signalling facility
supplies nominal -48V to the SB lead, the effect is to signal on the M lead with
battery for off-hook and open for on-hook. Signalling in the reverse direction is
by means of opens and closures across the E and SG (Signal Ground) leads for
on-hook and off-hook, respectively. Since the trunk circuit grounds the SG lead,
the effect is to signal on the E lead with open for on-hook and ground for
off-hook.

Type III E & M The Type III interface is a compromise, partially looped, 4-wire E & M lead
arrangement. It is essentially the same as the Type I interface except that the
battery and ground for signalling on the M lead are supplied by the signalling
facility over the SB and SG leads, respectively. The E lead in all its characteristics
and requirements is identical to the Type I interface E lead.

System Interfaces
Type IV E & M The Type IV interface is a symmetrical, 4-wire looped E & M lead arrangement.
Signalling from the trunk circuit to the signaling facility is by means of opens
and closures across the M and SB leads for on-hook and off-hook, respectively.
Signalling in the reverse direction is identical except that it is across the E and SG
leads.
40 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

Type V E & M The Type V interface is a symmetrical, 2-wire E & M lead arrangement that
signals in both direction by means of opens for on-hook and ground for off-hook.
A variety of other lead designations are in use besides E&M. The known
corresponding sets are E, SZ1, Sa, and SR and M, SZ2, Sb and SS. Type V
Interface is a BOC/AT&T Communications nomenclature not presently in use
elsewhere.
E & M Interface - UK The E & M Interface used in the United Kingdom is a symmetrical, 2-wire E & M

3.3.2 T1 and E1 Hardware Connection
3.3.2.1 T1 Connection
The MVP interfaces to T1 lines using a standard DB-15 connector. The pinout of
the DB-15 jack is as follows:
PIN SIGNAL
1 Transmit Tip (output from MVP)
3 Receive Tip (input to MVP)
9 Transmit Ring
11 Receive Ring
If the provided cable is not used to connect to the MVP, the following
requirements must be met:
The T1 cable must be twisted pair, 100 ohm characteristic impedance.
The transmit tip and ring must be one twisted pair, and the receive tip and
ring another twisted pair.
46 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

The T1 interface card provides adjustment for the length of cable from the MVP
to the network interface. The default setting is for 0-150 feet of cable. The other
two options are 150-450 feet and 450-655 feet. The adjustment is made with a DIP
switch on the T1 interface card. See Section 4.3.3.1 for a description of the switch
settings.
The MVP T1 interface does not provide the protective function required for
direct connection to the telco network in the United States. When installed
outside a central office, a Channel Service Unit (CSU) must be used between the
MVP and the telco network. The CSU should be a pass-through type, allowing
the MVP to perform all framing, error detection, and zero suppression functions.
Note For future telco compatibility, the CSU should have its own power
source, independent of line power on the T1 span.
The T1 translator card has a jumper block (E5) which must be set to correspond
with the position of the translator in the cage. When in Slot 1, the E5 option block
must have a shunt in the A position. If installed in Slot 7, the shunt must be on
the B position. If in Slot 13, the shunt must be on the C position.
3.3.2.2 E1 Connection
E1 lines interface to the MVP using BNC connectors for 75 ohm connections or
DB-15 for 120 ohm connections. Two BNC jacks (one input and one output) are
installed on the E1 translator for each E1 span. Connection to the E1 links should
use coaxial cable with a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms. Cable from
customer equipment to the MVP must be provided by the customer; no cables
are provided in the E1 option kit.
The E1 interface cards adjustments for line lengths may be used to compensate
for long cable lengths. The default setting is for 0-150 feet of cable. The other two
options are 150-450 feet and 450-655 feet. The adjustment is made with a DIP
switch on the E1 interface card. See Section 4.3.3.1 for a description of the switch
settings.
Normal E1 connections will have the shield of the coaxial cable grounded at the
transmit end and floating at the receive end. Grounds for these cables are
implemented on the E1 translator card (18128-0001). Traces on the translator at
E4 and E2 may be cut to remove the ground from the transmit cable. Shunts may
be installed at E1 and E3 to ground the shield of the receiving cable. Normal
installations should have these shunts removed.
The E1 translator card also has a jumper block which must be set to correspond
with the position of the translator in the cage. When in Slot 1, the E5 option block
must have a shunt in the A position. If installed in Slot 9, the shunt must be in
the B position.

4.3 Shelf A - Trunk Level

The uppermost cage in the cabinet is Shelf A. This shelf is referred to as a trunk
shelf because it provides interconnect capability for up to 64 trunks. If additional
trunk capacity is needed, Shelf B can also be used. Each of these two shelves
provides up to 64 analog-only or 48 T1 (60 E1) digital-only ports. In addition,
each shelf can hold almost any combination of analog and digital trunk cards (up
to a maximum system capacity of 128 ports).
Note If desired, a fifth T1 span can be installed in Shelves A & B to yield a

total T1 digital trunk capacity of 120 ports.
Termination for the ST bus is provided by a ST/DMA Terminator card located

behind Slot 15. Interface between the TSC translator and the system controller is
provided by a translator card behind Slot 2.
Slots 18 and 19 of Shelf A carry the Clock/Alarm Modules (CAM). Translator

Cards on the back of these slots connect the two cards together to support the
redundant clock feature of the CAM. Slot 18 is also interconnected to the
network of voltage/temperature monitor boards to support the alarm features.
Power supply modules occupy Slots 21 through 24 with the primary power
module residing in Slot 21. The power supplies are isolated from the rest of the
shelf via a split plate.
If the MVP is used in conjunction with a fax server, Shelf A also contains the
necessary fax interface cards. Information on these cards and on configuring the
MVP for fax message processing can be found in the MVP Fax Server Manual.

4.3.1 Backplanes
4.3.1.1 64-Trunk Backplane
Function The 64-Trunk Backplane is a monolithic 20-slot trunk backplane which provides
interconnect for analog telco interfaces and carries the signals necessary for the
DSP cards to talk to the channel termination cards. It also includes support for
use of T1/E1 interfaces. It is capable of handling interconnect for up to 64 trunks.
Slots 1-16 carry those signals necessary for interfacing analog trunk PCBs to the
telco cables.
Note Slots 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 14 also have the serial data signals
necessary to support digital span interface cards.
Slot 17 is used exclusively for a T1 digital channel termination card and cannot
support analog trunks.
Slots 18 & 19 carry the signals necessary to lock MVP clocks to the digital spans
feeding it and supply the clock cards in these slots. Redundant interlocking also
takes place across this backplane between Slots 18 & 19.
Slot 20 is not used by the MVP, and all connections are blank with the exception
of power (bottom 18 pins).
Location Shelf A, behind Slots 1-20
Slot Assignments Slots 1 - 16 Reserved for line interface cards.

Slot 17 Powered but reserved for expansion.
Slots 18 - 19 Reserved for clock cards.
Slot 20 Powered but not assigned.
Jumpers Jumpers are factory-set and should not be altered.
Connectors The MVP uses eleven 50-pin connectors for trunk interface. Sixty-four metallic
line interfaces are supported (2-wire, 4-wire, and E & M).
A 10-pin connector between Slots 16 & 17 is used to connect clocks.
Two 96-pin shrouds are used for connection to the clock translators behind Slots
18 & 19.

Note Both old and new versions of the T1/E1 Cards exist. The old version,
however, cannot be used as an LDI Card. See Figure 4-5 and
Figure 4-6.
Function The T1/E1 network interface is implemented with a Mitel digital interface.
These parts are pin-compatible, minimizing the changes needed to go from T1 to
E1. The Mitel portion interfaces to the rest of the card through five ST bus
streams.
The interface chip accepts three input streams: one data (voice) and two control.
The data stream carries information to be transmitted over the T1/E1 network.
The control streams direct the operation of the interface device.

Piggyback board (60800-488 connects all pins in Rows A and C between two
slots. These jumpers connect Slots 9 and 10, 12 and 13, 15 and 16, and 18 and 19.
The purpose of each of these jumper boards is to connect a Micro Memory 6300
board to a TSC module.
Connectors Because the VME bus I/O backplane does not use pins in Rows A and C, these
pins are available for card I/O. As a result, each slot is backed with a shroud for
translator board connections.
In the MVP, translators are located behind the VME J2 slots.

4.6 2120 Shelf D - System & Voice Drive Level
The bottom shelf of the MVP 2120 holds the system and voice drives. Up to
sixteen 3-1/2 drives can be housed on this shelf. The shelf is divided in half
horizontally with the first drive position of both the upper and lower portion
dedicated to the system SCSI bus. The other fourteen drive slots are divided into
two voice SCSI busses, VB1 and VB2. Voice drives 1-7 reside in the upper portion
(VB1) and drives 8-14 reside in the lower portion (VB2).
Two full size slots at the far right of Shelf D contain the power supply modules
for the shelf. The primary supply occupies Slot 21, with the redundant supply
residing in Slot 23. The two power modules are separated from the rest of the
shelf by a split plate to minimize radiated noise and to improve airflow around
the power supplies.
The disk shelf communicates with external SCSI ports via 50-conductor ribbon
cables. The interconnection is through a backplane allowing power distribution
and signal bussing through a single connector.

The MVP system offers both automatic and manual boot (start-up) procedures.
During Autoboot, the system determines which boot file to execute. No operator
assistance is required. If the Autoboot process is unsuccessful, then a manual
boot will be necessary.
Manual boot is initiated by the operator. This procedure requires knowledge

about the boot file on each SCSI device. The boot will not be successful unless it
is executed on the appropriate SCSI device.
5.1.1 Autoboot
The automatic boot procedure always attempts to start from the primary system
disk (disk 0). If the Autoboot from the primary system disk is unsuccessful, the
system will attempt to Autoboot from the redundant system disk (disk 1).
Note The faulty system disks should be repaired or replaced as soon as

possible. Contact Glenayre Electronics Customer Service for
assistance in this case.
Autoboot can occur in either of two ways:

1. The watchdog timer on the Clock/Alarm Module expires.
This indicates a serious system failure. A reboot of the system is therefore
necessary to re-initialize elements that may have been corrupted.
2. The system CPU card reset switch is depressed.
A reset of the system controller is usually performed after the system has
been upgraded or repaired.
Once an autoboot has successfully executed, the operator login will appear on
the console terminal. At this point the MVP system is operational.

5.2 Periodic System Maintenance
5.2.1 Checking Voltages

All system voltages should be checked at least once a month. A logbook should
be kept detailing the date and time of the inspection, the name of the individual
making the check, and the voltage readings. Make a note in the logbook each
time any voltage is adjusted.
The voltages can be measured using the CAM Module. A small voltage drop
exists between the voltage measured at the power supply and the voltage
actually present at the circuit cards.
Caution DO NOT adjust the voltage measured at the power supply to

the specified backplane voltage. Voltage measurements must
be made at the backplane when adjusting power supplies.
For power supply adjustments procedures, see Chapter 6.
Table 5-1 Voltage Checking Procedure
Step Action
1 Visually inspect the front panel of all power supplies. Make sure the
installed power supply LEDs (V1-V6) are illuminated and the FUSE
LED is off.
2 Begin with Shelf A primary supply (the supply in the left power supply
slot). Insert the black lead of the voltmeter in the VREF testpoint. Insert
the red lead into TP1, TP4, TP5, and TP6 in turn. Record the voltage for
each test point.
3 Repeat Step 2 for Shelf A redundant supply in right power supply slot.
4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for Shelves B and C.
5 Measure the voltages on the Shelf D primary supply. Insert the black
lead of the voltmeter in the VREF testpoint. Insert the red lead into TP1,
then TP2. Record the voltage for each test point.
6 Repeat Step 5 for Shelf D redundant supply.
7 Examine the logbook entries for each V1 voltage. The supply must be
adjusted if there is more than a 0.1V difference from the previous
measurements or the last time it was set.
8 Examine the logbook entries for Shelves A, B and C V4 voltages, and
the Shelf D V2 voltage. The supply must be adjusted if there is more
than a 0.2V difference from the previous measurement or the last time
it was set.
PN 9110.00327 125
Routine Procedures
The V5 and V6 voltages on the power supplies in Shelves A, B and C are not
adjustable. The entire power card should be replaced in the following instances:
V5 is outside the range of +9 to +12.5V.
V6 is outside the range of -12.5 to -9V.
5.2.2 Cleaning Fan Filters

The MVPs air filter should be checked and cleaned every six months. If
excessive dirt and dust buildup is found, decrease this interval. The procedure
below can be performed while the MVP is on-line; however, the fan tray should
not be removed for more than five minutes.
Table 5-1 Fan Filter Cleaning Procedure
Step Action
1 Remove the MVP front door. Open the door and locate the pivot hole
in the underside of the top mounting plate.
Insert a small screwdriver into the hole and push up the spring-loaded
pivot pin. When the pin is all the way up, tilt the MVP door until the
upper bracket is clear of the frame.
Lift the door to remove the lower bracket from its pivot pin.
Set the door aside in a safe place.
2 Open the back door of the MVP and unplug the fan tray power
connector from the fan tray.
Go to the front of the machine and unscrew the two mounting screws
on the fan tray until they are completely detached from the mounting
bracket.
Slide the fan tray out of the front of the machine.
Reach in and pull out the air filter.
3 Clean the air filter by blowing it out with dry compressed air. A
vacuum can be used, but it is not as effective.
If the cleaning will take longer than five minutes, re-insert the fan tray
and turn it on while the filter is being cleaned.
4 Re-install the filter and fan tray by reversing Step 2.
Note Doors must be kept closed during normal operation, both for proper
cooling and to meet safety requirements.
126 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

5.2.3 Maintaining the tape drive

Clean the read/write head on the tape drive on a regular basis. This should be
done immediately after using a new cartridge and whenever large numbers of
rewrite or reread operations are performed.
Clean the tape head through the cartridge slot using a commercial tape drive
cleaning kit.
Caution DO NOT USE ANY HARD OR SHARP OBJECTS THAT

MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE HEAD!

SPECIAL PROCEDURES
6.1 Replacing the MVME147 CPU

Before attempting to replace the MVME147 CPU, power to the VME shelf must
be turned off. This is accomplished by first performing and orderly shutdown of
the system via the sss command and then switching off the power supplies on
Shelf C. (Refer to the Software Reference Manual, Appendix B for information on the
sss command).
The MVME147 CPU card is a high-performance processor used in high-end

versions of the MVP. Static RAM on this card contains information which must
be properly initialized prior to operation in the MVP. The following procedure
details the proper setup of these parameters and verifies proper configuration
for operation of the MVME147 CPU in the MVP.
Step Action
1 By referring to Chapter 4., ensure all jumpers are correctly installed and
both sets of EPROMs are installed in the designated sockets and are
oriented correctly. Verify that the 140.1306 extender displays a test
sticker and that shunts have been installed on all 64 jumper locations on
the 140.1306. Record the Ethernet Address written on the DIN
connector.
2 Power to the VME computer shelf must be turned off before installing
the MVME147 CPU. Follow the procedures for the shutdown of the
VME shelf (see loadable sss). Install the MVME147 CPU in Slot 1 and
turn on the power.
3 The MVME147 configuration parameters should have been set at the
factory. However, these may have to be re-entered prior to operation.
The card will automatically execute a self-test procedure. The test must
pass. If a failure occurs, note the error message and contact Glenayre
Customer Service.

Special Procedures
6.2 Installing the Clock Alarm Card
6.2.1 BABT Installation

If performing a BABT installation, verify the following:
Remove U4, U19, U21, and U27
Install E5 jumper
Note BABT installation will not support T1 line interface. E1 interfaces are
supported. Skip to Section 6.2.2.
6.2.2 Normal Installation
WARNING! Verify correct jumper settings. Improper jumper settings

for the CAM can corrupt the system clicks. Verify correct
jumper settings. In particular, E4 (Phase I) should not be
installed in a Phase II frame.
Set switch to WDD and plug board into system while using a properly grounded
ESD wrist. Hook up to CAM Serial Port.
Configure the Primary CAM0 using shell commands as described in Steps 1-12.
The Secondary CAM (CAM1) is configured by CAM0 using Steps 11 and 12.
Step Action
1 Set up clocklist using clocklist command.
2 Set up the number of vmb using numvmb command (the number of
vmb should match the number of shelves containing power supplies in
the machine.)
3 Check shelf voltages with monitor command to insure that they have
good values. See Section 6.4 to recalibrate supplies if necessary.
4 Calibrate voltage thresholds with the calibrate command.
5 Use enable and disable commands to insure that alarm codes are
enabled for installed power supplies and disabled for uninstalled power
supplies. The severity command can be used to list a description of the
different alarm codes.
6 Unforce any forced alarm conditions using the forcealarm command.
7 Clear all active alarms using the clear command.
132 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

Step Action
8 Use the alarms command to examine any remaining alarm conditions
and take necessary corrective actions (for example, examining threshold
command, insuring redundancy is on via redundancy command).
Bad Alarm count values can be corrected by resetting the board using
the diag rs command. Be aware that there is a two to ten-second delay
from the resolution of an alarm on CAM1 until the alarm is no longer
triggered. Also, CAM1 queues up all of its alarms while CAM0 is not
installed. So, a number of old CAM1 alarms may be received after
CAM0 is installed.
9 Set correct date and time using the time command. Note only the time
or the date can be changed at a time.
10 Use clockforce command to insure that the clock selection method is in
normal mode.
11 Use redundancy command to correctly configure CAM0 and CAM1.
12 The boardstatus command should be executed after CAM1 is installed
to insure that the CAM1 information (CAM1 Stream, !ckenb, and Status)
is being received. Also, verify that CAM1 status is good.
OPTIONAL:
The port and modemtalk commands can be used to install and configure a
modem on the CAM modem port.
RECOMMENDED:
A PASSTHRU cable should be installed between a CAM shell interface serial

port and an MVP port to allow the MVP user to connect to the CAM board.
RECOMMENDED:
The secondary CAM clocklist can be set up as desired using the clocklist
command on the CAM1 diagnostic port.
REQUIRED FOR PHASE I FRAME:
Be sure to disable monitor points for the fan temp (alarm code 69H), Talk Battery
voltage (alarm code 7DH), AMP response Timeout (alarm code 09H), and Bad
Match (alarm code 46H) locations using the disable command. Also, ensure that
the E4 (Phase I) jumper is installed.
Note The CAM cannot be installed in a Rev. 2 frame.
PN 9110.00327 133
Special Procedures
Note The secondary CAM is not involved in alarm reporting.
Note Alarm code severity levels, clock list parameters, and voltage and
temperature thresholds are stored in nonvolatile RAM. This data will
not be lost even when the CAM is powered down.
134 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

6.3 Replacing/Configuring the Clock/Alarm Card
6.3.1 Setup Procedure

The following procedures are provided in the event that the Clock/Alarm card
should need to be replaced. Since the CAM is powered directly from input
power (48V), no powerdown of the system is necessary before beginning the
installation procedure.
System clock glitches can terminate or disrupt calls in progress. Thus, it is

recommended that system clock card replacement be performed when there is
little or no traffic on the MVP. If the boards are to be swapped with traffic on the
MVP, the following method should be used:
In order to minimize system clock problems, use the alarmbrd loadable

command options viewport and togcamsel to select either CAM0 or CAM1 as
the clock provider. For example, before removing CAM0, set camsel in order to
request CAM1. After observing that the CAM1 CLK LED is on and the CAM0
CLK is off, remove CAM0. Likewise, when installing CAM0, make sure that the
camsel line is set before plugging in CAM0. After CAM0 is powered up, revert
to CAM0 by changing camsel = 0. This is also true for CAM1 installation and
removal. See Section 6.2 to finish.
6.3.2 Shell Commands

The Clock/Alarm Card is configured using the following shell commands:

6.4 Power Supply Adjustments

Four adjustable power converter modules supply power to the circuit cards used
in the MVP. Shelves A, B and C use -9 (dash 9) supplies, while Shelf D uses a -8
supply. Descriptions of these modules and their functions are found below.
Check the power supply voltages at least once a month. Keep a logbook detailing
the date and time of the inspection, the name of the individual making the check,
and the voltage measurement. Note any time a voltage is adjusted.
The -9 modules have four separate adjustable power outputs:
V1 is +5V adjustable V4 is +12V adjustable

V5 is +12V adjustable V6 is -12V adjustable
The -8 modules produce two adjustable voltages:

V1 is +5V V2 is +12V
Shelf A V1 supplies logic circuit power.

(-9 module) V4 actuates relays and lamps.
V5 and V6 power audio amplifier circuits and
RS232 serial port drivers.
Shelf B V1 supplies logic circuit power.
(-9 module) V4 actuates relays and lamps and powers disk
and tape motors.
V5 and V6 power audio amplifier circuits and
RS 232 serial port drivers.
Shelf C V1 supplies logic circuit power.
(-9 module) V4 is not used.
V5 and V6 power RS232 serial port drivers.
Shelf D V1 and V2 power the voice storage drives.
(-8 module)
Each shelf can hold two power supplies. The left power supply is for the primary
supply; the right slot is for a redundant supply. The redundant supply is an
option and may not be installed in all machines.
Note The output of the two supplies are merged by an O-ring diode
backplane on the rear of the card cage. Since the outputs of the
supplies flow through a diode before reaching the circuit cards, the
voltage reading on the power supply front panel test points will be
slightly higher than the voltage desired at the backplane. The voltage
drop at the diodes will vary depending on the number of cards in the
cage and the characteristics of each diode.
140 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

WARNING! You must measure voltages ON THE BACKPLANE when

adjusting power supplies. Please do not use experience as
a guide to adjust power supplies while monitoring the
voltage on the power supply card.
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM CAN RESULT!!!!
Procedures The following procedure should be used to adjust the system voltages. Use this
procedure whenever you are unsure if a power supply is adjusted.
WARNING! Plugging an unadjusted supply into an MVP containing

circuit cards may cause severe damage. Do not assume
power supplies shipped to you from the factory are
adjusted for your system.
If you do not have redundant supplies, simply omit any references to them in the
procedure below. The supply you are adjusting is referred to as the MUA
(Module Undergoing Adjustment).
Begin at Step 1 if you are adjusting an unknown supply. Skip to Step 7 if you are
adjusting a supply already in use.
Step Action
1 Remove all circuit cards from the shelf served by the power supply and
turn off the other supply north shelf (if installed). Make sure the power
switch on the MUA is in the OFF position.
2 Install the MUA in the appropriate slot and turn it on. Check that all the
voltage indicators are lit and the FUSE LED is off.
3 Attach a voltmeter to the +5V and GND terminals on the backplane
served by the MUA. Use the line card extender on Shelf A (see the chart
following these procedures) or use the silkscreened power lugs on the
back of the backplane.
Shelf C has voltages silkscreened above the lugs on the rear of the
backplane. On Shelf D you must probe the power lugs from the back of
the MVP.
4 Adjust the pot controlling V1 (just under the V1 indicator lamp) on the
MUA. Clockwise lowers the voltage; counterclockwise increases it. Set
the voltage to +5.1 (+/- .02).
PN 9110.00327 141
Special Procedures
Step Action
5 Set the adjustable +12V supples to +12.1 (+/-.1).
V4 & V5 on the -9 modules
V2 on the -8 module
Set the adjustable -12V supply (V6 on the -9 modules) to -12.1 (+/- .1).
USE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
For Shelf A, measure the voltage on the line marked +12V RELAY.
For Shelf C, insert the test probe into a drive power connector. +12V is
on the gray wire.
For Shelf D, insert test probe into a drive power connect.
Use the pot under indicators V4, V5 and V6 on the -9 supplies.
Use the pot under the V2 indicator for the -8 supplies.
6 Turn off the MUA power switch and install the cards for the shelf
served by the MUA. Install the redundant supply (or primary if the
MUA is the redundant supply) but leave its power switch off.
Turn on the MUA, then turn on the power switches on all disk and tape
drives in the system.
7 Using the procedure outlined in Step 3, adjust the +5V voltage to 5.05
(+.5/-0) volts. Note that for Shelf D, the +5V test point on the front of
the drive assembly may be used to measure the voltage.
Measure other voltages as in Steps 3 and 4. After setting the voltage,
measure the voltage on the power supply card. Measure between the
VREF test point and the TP1 test point.
Record this voltage under the appropriate heading in the voltage
logbook. Be sure to note that the reading was made after adjustment.
8 Using the procedure given in Step 4, adjust the +12V supply to +12.1
(=.5/-0) volts. Note that for Shelf D, the +12V test point on the front of
the drive assembly may be used to measure the voltage.
After setting the voltage, measure between the VREF test point and the
appropriate test point (TP4, TP5, and TP6 for a -9 supply, TP2 for a -8)
on the front panel of the power supply card. Record this voltage under
the proper heading in the voltage logbook. Note that the reading was
made after the adjustment.
9 Repeat the above steps for the redundant power supply on each shelf.
If using an extender card to monitor voltages on Shelf A, use the following pins:
+5 P2B-28 -12 P2B-31

+12 Relay P2B-29 GND P2B-32
+12 P2B-30
142 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

6.5 Line Card Adjustments

The analog line interface cards (2-wire and E & M) require aligning when
installed in a system or when moved to a different slot in a system. Both gain and
balance must be adjusted for each card.
Small holes in the front panels of the line cards allow adjustment without
removing the cards from the system. Each channel has two holes; the upper
opening provides access to the gain pot, while the lower one exposes the balance
adjustment.
Note Use of a key is required to access the system.
See Section 6.5.1 and Section 6.5.2 for procedures to adjust each type of card:
6.5.1 2-wire Line Card Alignment

It is critical for 2-wire card alignment that the line being adjusted is in the same
state as when normal MVP operation is underway. Normally this means the line
has loop current flowing. If the following steps do not provide this condition,
take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that loop current is flowing in the
line before adjusting the gain and balance. Check the LPx (x = A, B, C or D) for
the four lines on the card.
Step Action
1 Use the trnkdiag command from a console port to gain access to the
diagnostic menu of the TSC controlling the card being adjusted.
2 Select the trunk menu and the voltmeter option.
3 If the line being adjusted is NOT a wink start trunk, skip to Step 4.
Otherwise, place a call to the trunk using a valid mailbox number. Wait
for the MVP to play a prompt, then go to Step 4.
4 Enter the trunk number on the CRT and press return. Use one of the
following options depending on the trunk type:
For DID/DDI, place a call into the trunk. When the LP LED lights,
answer y at the menu to seize the trunk. Remove the microphone from
the calling phone.
For Loop Calling, place a call to the line. When you hear the ringback in
the earpiece, answer y at the menu to seize the trunk. Remove the
microphone from the calling phone.
For Loop Calling (out-dial), answer y at the menu to seize the line. Use a
buttset bridged on the line to dial a telephone close at hand. Pick up the
phone when it rings and remove the microphone from the handset.
PN 9110.00327 143
Special Procedures
Step Action
5 Now trunkdiag allows you to send a tone.
Send a digital milliwatt (enter 0x00).
6 Use a Halcyon or other level measuring device to measure to tone level
at the demarcation point (the Halcyon must be in bridged mode).
Adjust the gain pot so the level is -3.0 dBm
7 Exit from the diagnostic mode by pressing <Return>. Replace the
microphone and repeat Steps 2, 3 and 4.
Send a DTMF A (tone 0x4d). Watch the voltmeter number on the CRT
and turn the balance pot slowly to minimize the number displayed on
the CRT. The reading is only updated every three seconds, so take your
time.
8 Exit from the voltmeter diagnostic and use the reset trunk command to
put the trunk back in service. Replace the microphone and repeat this
procedure for each 2-wire circuit in the system.
6.5.2 4-wire Card Alignment
Step Action
1 Use the trnkdiag command from a console port to gain access to the
diagnostic menu of the TSC controlling the card being adjusted.
2 Select the trunk menu and the send tone option. Select the line you
are currently working on.
3 Now trunkdiag allows you to send a tone.
Send a digital milliwatt (tone 0x00)
4 Use a Halcyon or other level measuring device to measure the tone level
at the demarcation point (the Halcyon must be in bridged mode).
Adjust the gain pot so the level is -3.5 dBm
5 Exit from the send tone diagnostic and use the reset trunk command to
put the trunk back in service.
6.6 Limited Maintenance Procedures
6.6.1 Replacing a Removable Assembly

This procedure outlines a generic procedure for the replacement of removable
assemblies in the MVP. This procedure is intended to prevent the corruption of
the MVP operating system.
144 REV 2.0 November 11, 1998

It is strongly recommended that this procedure be followed for all assemblies to

avoid system damage, unless specifically directed otherwise by Glenayre
Technical personnel.
Note Information on all referenced loadables can be found in the Software

Reference Manual, Appendix B.
Note Use of a key is required to access the system.
WARNING! Opening the cabinet doors exposes circuitry connected to

the telephone network. Caution should therefore be
exercised during all maintenance procedures.
Step Action
1 Unlock the cabinet door. Locate the assembly in the system to be
replaced.
2 Locate the replacement assembly in the spares kit.
3 Locate the power PCB supplying assembly to be replaced.
(See Section 3.)
4 Check the strapping options for the replacement assembly
(See Section 3). Re-strap if necessary.
5 Check the Firmware (EPROMS) location and revision of the assembly.
6 Using a small Phillips screwdriver, completely loosen the retaining
screws holding the card in the system. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARD
YET.
7 Execute the loadable command tskettup to stop the system traffic.
8 Verify the completion of all calls.
9 If the power PCB supplying this assembly is located in Shelf A, go to
Step 18.
10 Execute the loadable command devstat for all system drives to
determine which drives have shadows
11 If the system drive is not shadowed, go to Step 13.
12 Using the loadable command unload, unload the shadow system drive.
13 Using the loadable unload, unload the primary system drive.
PN 9110.00327 145
Special Procedures
Step Action
14 If the voice drives are not shadowed, go to Step 16.
15 Using the loadable unload, unload all shadowed voice drives in the
system.
16 Using the loadable unload, unload the primary voice drives in the
system.
17 Press the abort switch on the front of the System Controller card. You
should get a register dump on the system console.
18 If the module to be replaced has a power switch, turn if OFF and go to
Step 19; otherwise, turn OFF the power PCB located in Step 3.
19 Carefully remove the assembly to be replaced.
20 Repeat Steps 4 and 5 using the removed assembly as a reference. If a
discrepancy exists between the way the removed assembly is
configured and the way the manual shows the configuration, call
Glenayre Technical Support at once.
21 Carefully install the replacement assembly. NEVER FORCE ANY
CONNECTION.
22 If the new assembly has a power switch, turn it ON; otherwise, turn ON
the power PCB located in Step 3.
23 If the power PCB located in Step 3 is in Shelf A, go to Step 26.
24 Reset the System Controller and allow the system to boot normally.
25 If the replaced assembly was a shadow drive (either system or voice),
execute the loadable qsync.
26 If the replaced assembly was a power PCB, adjust as necessary using the
Power Supply Adjustment Procedure in this section.
27 Execute the loadable tksettup to allow traffic back into the system.
28 If the replaced assembly was a metallic line card, adjust the hybrid
balance using the Line Card Adjustment Procedure in this section.
29 If the replaced assembly was a power PCB, adjust as necessary using the
Power Supply Adjustment Procedure in this section.
30 You are finished with this procedure. Be sure to screw the card back
into the system.
31 Re-lock the cabinet doors.
Note To meet safety requirements and to ensure proper cooling, cabinet

doors should remain closed during normal operations.
