DISCUSSION Project Desdription The existing coaxial cable substation communication network is aged, experiencing .an increased rate of communication failures in the past several years, and requires a significant amount of routine maintenance and tuning. If this project is not performed in a timely manner, the Utility’s ability to monitor the critical electric substation system and perform routine and emergency control orders will be increasingly jeopardized. The City has already installed and tested a pilot fiber communication system at the Quarry substation to prove the integrity and reliability of the proposed network. This installation will also act as hub points for later inclusion of other systems in the fiber optic network. CMR:309:02 Page 1 of 3 The work to be performed under this contract is for furnishing an electric .utility fiber optic electric substation communications network. Immediate uses of this network will be for fiber optic connections, between the electric substations and the electric. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.Scope of contract to include: ¯Tldigital fiber optic multiplexers ¯Network.management, configuration and diagnostic software ¯Fiber optic jumpers ¯Sp.dre parts ¯Documentation submittals ¯Factory testing ¯Field testing ¯Training ¯Start-up assistance Bid Process ’ A notice inviting formal bids for substation fiber optic communication network and related services was sent on May 23, 2002 to four contractors. The proposing period was 21 days. No pre-bid meeting was required. Proposals were received from three qualified contractors on June 18, 2002, as listed on the attached bid summary (Attachment A). A fourth proposer turned in a proposal past the due deadline and will not be considered. Proposals ranged from a high of $301,461 to a low proposal 9f $181,836, after the proposals were equalized by applying equivalent warranty periods. A "Possible Protest" letter was sent from RFL. Staff reviewed and as a result, had a more detailed ;weighted’ scoring of the proposals performed, based on the’evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP, Part II - "Proposal Instructions and Special Conditions". The results are attached (Attachment C). Staff has reviewed, all proposals submitted and recommends that the proposal of $181,836 submitted by Pulsar Technologies, Inc. be accepted and that Pulsar Technologies, Inc. be declared the lowest responsible proposer. The Proposal is 1.7 percent below the staff/engineer’s estimate of $160,000 for the entire, multi-phase project. The change order amount of $18,184, which equals 10 percent of the total contract, is requested. Staff checked references supplied by the c~ntractor for previous work performed and found no significant complaints.

Pulsar’s Response to Specification Section, Paragraph 1.06, page 2 Network Management System (NMS): Level One of the NMS is a ¯ Pulsar proprietary program FOCUS Configuration Software.(FCS). FCS provides local and ~emote communication and configuration capabilities from a single FOCUS location. Since FOCUS is 100% software csnfigurable, all FOCUS chassis’, in a system, can be completely configured remotely. Please see the attached document FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS). Level Two of the NMS utilizes a uses a third party SNMP trap notification and MIB compiler programs. Pulsar also supplies the custom MIB for use with the MIB compiler program. The following is an excerpt from MG-SOFT Corporation’s website explaining the Trap Ringer Professional that Pulsar is supplying. Trap Ringer Professional Edition by MG-SOFT Corp. MG-SOFT Trap Ringer Professional Edition is a program for monitoring SNMPvl, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 TRAP notification messages and SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 INFORM notification messages. It lets you manage received notifications in a various ways and includes mechanisms for informing users about the notified events. SNMP notifications can be viewed in a console window, logged to a file, forwarded by e-mail, shown on a web page etc. The received SNMP Trap and Inform notifications can also be used to invoke other programs. The received SNMP Trap and Inform notifications can be filtered so that notifications of a particular event type can be ignored. Trap Ringer Professional Edition displays details of each notification message and decodesand explains notification’s parameters according to the relevant MIB definition files. - - . Trap Ringer Professional Edition runs on Microsoft’s 32-bit operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP) as a tray icon application. , The enclosed MIB Compiler (see below) lets you compile any vendor specific MIB file. Compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by the software. Generally, a MIB file is supplied by the vendor of an SNMP manageable device and contains a description of the object hierarchy and object attributes in the managed devlce and serves as a roadmap for monitoring and managing that device. Pulsar’s Response to Specification Section, Paragraph¯ 1.06, page3 The Trap Ringer’s main window (screen shot) can act either as the c0nso~le viewer showing the real time information about received notifications or it can Io~.d and display a log file created in the past. The left pane of the main window contains a list of received notification messages. Clicking a nQtification message in the list displays all details about the message in the upper right pane. Clicking the enterprise line or binding in the upper right pane displays all details about the relevant OlD as defined in the MIB that defines that OlD. IP addresses from the received notifications can be resolved thiough DNS. The Output Manager Preferences window (screen shoo provides an interface that let you configure properties for various notification viewers and how the ¯ notifications should be logged or further processed. Received notification messages can be displayed and viewed in real-time console viewer (main window). Be~ides, you can start any number of actions by providing a command line.parameters for each of them; you can forward trap information to local NT Event viewer or any number of remote NT Event viewers; create any number of log files; e-mail to any number ofrecipients (a sample e-mail is presented bellow); send SMS message to any number of recipients’ mobile Plhones; create a web " page summary (..qenerated web pa.qe sample) .... Configurable filters for receiving only desired notification types (screen shot). Trap Ringer Professional Edition can load MIB files (screen shot)in order to resolve OIDs from the received notification messages and thus provide more valuable and meaningful information to the users. Trap Ringer Professional Edition can forward information about received notifications to local Event Viewer (screen shot) or to any number of remote Event Viewers. Trap Ringer Professional Edition can monitor SNMPvl, SNMPV2C and SNMPv3 TRAP notification messages and SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 INFOR.M notification messages (screen shot). Trap Ringer Professional Edition can receive SNMP TRAP and INFORM notifications on any UDP or IPX port (.screen shot) or to any number of remote Event Viewers.

The MIB Oompiler engine converts MIB files in MIB module language format (simultaneously supporting both SMI specifications, SMIv1 and SMIv2) into the MG- SOFT’s proprieta.ry SMIDB format. An application can access compiled MIB files through the industry standard WinMIB interface by using the WinMIB API functions implemented in the WinMIB.DLL module. MIB Compiler GUI front-end provides an user friendly GUI interface to the MIB Compiler engine. Besides, it contains MIB module source file editor. To compile MIBs it is possible to run either the command line MIB Compiler engine or the GUI front-end apl~lication. While GUI front-end definitively provides a user- frieridlier way to compile MIBs, there are cases when you should use the command line version, for example when you wish to compi!e MIBs on the fly from a batch file or start the Compilation from an application. ¯ During the compilation, MIB Compiler prints error and warning messages, so you can. check if a MIB module definition is consistent and if inconsistent, by examining the error and warning messages you can easily fix the MIB module definition. In GUI front-end, once a MIB module is compiled it can be displayed in the MIB tree. view, where you can see all nodes, symbols and traps defined in the MIB module. In the tree view you can see MIB node properties, print the tree and search the tree .by specifying node’s name or its OlD (Object Identifier). You can build a MIB tree from many MIB modules by simply dragging the MIB module icons to a Database window. MIB module source file editor supports syntax coloring, Undo/Redo, Eind/Replace, Book marking and many other features that are helpful while editing or developing a MIB module. When compiled MIB module is saved to a database file, a WinMIB-based application (like MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional) can access and utilize the database file. You may wish to check also the information about SMIDB Property Page shell extension, an add-on feature providing better integration of compiled MIB files with Microsoft’s 32-bit operating systems. MIB definition module developers may wish to check also the information about MG- SOFT Visual MIB Builder, an application for visual designing and editing of MIB module definition files. It requires no knowledge about ASN.1 syntax or MIB module definition language and lets you design a MIB definition module in a matter of minutes.

Fiber Optic Communications for Utility Systems Most events are time tagged to 1 ms resolution, providing a sequence of events log. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) alarms, Synch Alarms, Bi-polar violations and Low Signal alarms .are also recorded to h.elp trouble shoot T1 link probleifis, In addition to complete monitoring capability, the FCS is used to configure the FOC’LJS system, Using a point and .click technique, channel time slots, TI. ports, DS0 cross connects as well as channel card settings can be easily configured. Any channel module, in any chassis slot can be configured to communicate in any DS0 channel of any of the four availab e T1 ports in the FOCUS chassis. A .FOCUS point.to.point network is composed of two terminal nodes and a communications !lnl£ The T1 link can be dedicated fiber optic cables or digital transmission equipment.

They may use one or more ofthe full duplex DS0 channels within the FOCUS TI rink. Point-m-Point Digital Microwave ¯ High Order Multiplexff The FOCUS hot standby capability provides alternate routing should any T1 optical link fail where a self-healing dng topology is impractical. Using primary and secondary transceivers, the hot standby will automatically switch from a failed T1 link to the secondary link within 125 microseconds, Fiber Optic communications for Utility Systems A...FOCUS Drop and Insert Network includes more than two locations, in a linear configuration, with T1 links between nodes. The FOCUS drop and insert system provides the capability for communications ¯ circuits to be configured between any two nodes within the system by taking advantage of the integrated, ful! TSI, non-blocking cross-connect. It is important to note that on~ce a channel has been "dropped" the bandwidth can be re-used downstream by"Inserting" a channel. pf30 1 2 3 4 6 7 of 30 The self-healing FOCUS Alternate Path Mode (APM) dng capability provides full connectivity and alternate routing should any T1 link fail. The ~pdmary path of each. DS0 is assigned by the network designer and can be programmed to travel in either direction around the dng, The alternate path for the circuit is on the same DS0 channel in the opposite direction around the ring. In the event of a T1 link failure, the intelligence of the FOCUS System will re-route every affected "switch-over" channel the opposite direction around the ring, such that service for that DS0 channel will be restored. No user pre-configuring is required for this feature. The FOCUS Four Fiber Hot Standby self-healing rlngcapability provides full connectivity and alternate routing should any T1 link fail, by utilizing two pairoffibers between all adjacent nodes. This option does not limit the overall bandwidth of the system to 24 DS0 channels. In a normally operating system, all DS0 traffic is passing over the pdmary fiber parrs. The second fiber pair is reserved as a redundant, standby communications path, Abreak in the pdmary link between any two nodes initiates rerouting of all 24 DS0 channels through the standby fibers in the opposite direction around the dng. This line-switched scheme allows the full T1 b~ndwidth between each node to be . utilized to its maximum capacity. Technologies, Inc.

The four-fiber-hoi-standby optio.n utilizes two pairs of fibers between all adjacent nodes. All logic and hard- ware for this feature is self-contained within the base chassis. One of the fiber pairs is used as the main communication path, and the other pair is used as a hot standby or redundant path which is shared by all nodes in the loop. A single break in the primary path between two nodes initiates rerouting of all 24/30 channels (whether or not assigned) through the standby ~ibers. The rerouted signa! travels in the opposite direction around the ring to arrive at the node on the oppo- site side of the break. This procedure reliably reconnects all channels affected by the .break. The signals are automatically returned to the main fibers when the normal path has been restored. Unlike traditional path-switched schemes, the four- fiber-hot-standby ring allows the user to make use of the full T1/E1 bandwidth between each adjacent station. The sys- tem provides fa~t service restoration with complete reconfiguration in 8 to 50 ms. High reliability is maintained by Con- tinuous monitoring of the standby fibers to ensure availability in the event of a fiber link.or node failure. i Standby "" --.....~ F_.iber Pair primary Fiber Pair D \ \ \ -C Primary Fiber Pair for B-C data e \~atz~lter. ,,.,r,,,’~" ~¯ " ~,~/tll /~’~"~ ~ Example Operation: One or both of the main fibers between Station B and Station C break. Terminal B and/or Terminal C receive low sig- nal alarms on the main fibers. This directs both Terminals B and C to switch to the standby path in the opposite direction. The affected data is passed through Stations A, D and E to complete the standby path and reestablish all broken circuits. When the low signal alarm has been cleared, transceivers at Terminals B and C will switch from the standby fibers back to the main fibers. If only the standby fibers are broken, no rerouting occurs and a minor system alarm is.reported.

All channels, except those dropped in a failed node, are automatically rer0uted if any single node or link fails. Each of the 24/30 chan- nels in the TI/E1 stream may be Used only once within the loop. When a link or node fails, adjacer~t nodes detect the failure and send a message in the opposite direbtion around the ringl The message specifies which channels have been affec- ted by the failure. Each node containing an affected channel drop reverses the transmit direction for that channel. Nodes located between the affected channel drop nodes are converted to pass-throughs for these channels. Station A Station B ’ This flip-flop procedure quickly reconnects all broken channels in the opposite direction around the loop. When the link is re-established, a complementary message is sent causing each node to flop back to its original settings. All APM messages are sent between nodes using the overhead of the Extended Super Frame coding. This makes all 24/30 channels available to the user for channel assignment. The Alternate Path Mode software provides enhanced redundancy not traditiona!ly offered by TI/E1 systems for pilot relaying, SCADA or other critical circuits. The channel maps below graphically demonstrate the operation of FOCUS dedicated channel redirection (APM).

Fax: +1 (954) 340-6676 FOCUS Fiber Optic Communications for Utility Systems PARTY LINE DATA (PLD) MODULE The Party Line Data module (PLD) allows virtually any polled or multi-drop data application to Qpera~e over a FOCUS network using a single DS0 time sloL, A typical application for this module would be to provide a multi-droop RS-232 data circuit between a SCADA master computer and its associated Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), In this application, [he PLD passes the information from the SCADA master to all of the connected RTUs Via a direct RS-232 connection. An RTU detecting its unique address will respond by raising its RTS line. Once the RTS line is asserted, communication is established between the Master and the addressed RTU. All other communications .- over the circuit are blocked until the RTU drops its RTS line. The PLD module operates at asynchronous data rates up to 19,200 bps. You can also apply the PLD module to applications other than SCADA. A good example would be an application which requires both setting Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), such as microprocessor-based relays, and retrieving data from these devices. Another example would be an application in which the PLD module is connected to a communications processor or smart RS-232 switch - such as the example shown here - allowing connection to all of the devices at each node (~ubstation) as -required, Station B StationA " .

A unique feature of the FOCUS system equipped with a PLD module is the capability of individually addressing each PLD module. This allows. you to efficiently support applications that do not require a "full time" dedicated RS-232 circuit using only one system-wide DS0 time slot. Without the PLD modules, the small four-node ring in our example would have required three DS0 channels. With the PLD module, only a simple ASCIllogin and log out command is required to 10g in and out of each location. Managing all of the RS-232 circuits at the computer location is.another application disadvantage for systems without addressable polled data modules. With a PLD-equipped FOCUS system, you have the ability to map each PLD module to any DS0 time slot in any of the four T1/E1 aggregate signals supported by FOCUS. This level of applicatio~n flexibility is another unique feature of Pulsar’s FOCUS system.

A sample chassis layout is shown in Figure 1-1. Circuit descriptions, complete with schematic diagrams for each module, are shown in Chapters 10-24. Copyright @ 1999 Pulsar Technologies, Inc. U.J LLJ Z -! "2 -i FOCUS is a communications multiplexer specifi- cally designed .for utility and industrial substations. All. facets of the design were engi- neered with utility applications in mind. Some major features of FOCUS include: ¯Drop/Insert -- FOCUS eliminates the back- to.-back channel banks and associated wiring, reducing installation costs, simpli- fying configuration Changes, and increasing bandwidth utilization. T1 Electrical and Optical Interfaces -- The systetn is flexible in that both direct T1 fiber and electrical T1 outputs are available. The chassis provides two dfial transceiver slots, allowing either for two of the four T1 ports to be optical, and the other two electrical, or for all four ports to be either optical or electrical. This provides a seamless digital interface between direct : T1 fiber optic channels and higher order (T3 or SONET) optical systems or digital Microwave. You can switch between Fiber and electrical T1 output by substituting transceiver modules. Diagnostics --Every module is being contin- uously checked and trouble reported to simplify preventive maintenance. This significantly reduces the time to diagnose and repair FOCUS. A status ~ED on each module provides visual indication of the module’s status. Extended Temperature Range -- FOCUS is built to operate in the substation environ- ment with a temperature range from -20 to +65 degrees C. Simpl6 Repair and Increased System Availability -- Repairs can be performed by card substitution .without having to rewire circuits or reconfigure time slots. All channel cards can be replaced with power on, eliminating the need to shut down unaf- fected communication links for repairs. Chapter 1, Product Description Surge Withstand Capability -- FOCUS ~xceeds all applicable IEEE standards for surge withstand and fast transient immunity. Station Battery Compatibility -- FOCUS, like all relaying equipment, can connect to any common station battery voltages, elim- inating the need for outboard isolation and conversion equipment. The battery may be ungrounded, positive grounded, or negative grounded. FOCUS can also be connected to standard 120 Vac without additional conversion equipment. Unified Communications --FOCUS elimi- nates the need for separate products and patchwork solutions in your communica- tion.planning. This.reduces your equipment requirements, simplifies maintenance, and increases station availability. Redundancy -- Standby power supplies increase ovegall reliability and avail~ability. System redundancy is also iiacreased by the use of system loops, or hot standby fiber transceivers, with separate, optical paths. (Isolation from EMURFI -- FOCUS provides isolation from EMI-and. RFI in. line with the IEEE standard, C37.90.2. Ease of Configuration -- The software and hardware configuration of FOCUS can be easily customized to specific applications, reducing the applications cost. You can totally configure the system hardware using the FOCUS software on a PC.. Expansion Flexibility m FOCUS can be changed or expanded at any time Which reduces installation costs and system downtime. Remote Operation.- Access to system alarms, diagnostic .routines, and configura- tion. Ring Network Capability --You can ¯configure your FOCUS system in a loop with options for redund~cy II FOCUS System Manual Future Capabilities --FOCUS is designed with the future in mind. The use of position-independent channel slots permits adding or modifying features as required in the future. 1.7 Transceivers The T1 link interfaces between terminals maybe either optical or electrical (DS1). Once the communications medium for a particular link is known, the appropriate transceiver can be selected. Some examples of links include fiber optics, microwave, or other digital transmission paths. This gives the system designer a high degree of flexibility. 1.7,1 Optical Transceiver¯ The optical Interface is used when two fiber optic cables within a span are dedicated to connecting two FOCUS terminals. The interface is provided by fiber optic transceiver modules. Single or dual configurations are available for each. The fiber versions are available with hot-standby optical compo.nents. The 1300 nm LASER version (13LAS) provides a system gain of 36 dB for single mode fiber. It uses onboard ST connectors for both transmit and receive paths. (SC and FC connectors and/or 1550 nm lasers are also available). The frame format used for the optical interface is extended supefframe (ESF). The line format is bi- phase mark encoded. Using the ESF format enables all DS0 channels between nodes to be 64 kbps clear channels. It also permits terminals to coinmunicate operational information .necessary for network reconfiguration, remote alarms, .and other maintenance functions (discussed later in this document). The optical transceivers can be combined as pairs to provide for hot standby optical paths. 1.7.2 Electrical Transceiver The T1 electrical interface (DS1) is used when a span is connected by a higher rate communication system, such as T2; T3, or SONET, into fiber optic cables or digital microwave. This enables FOCUS to be a feeder multiplexer into one of the DS1 Page 1-4 Technologies, Inc. ports from the higher rate multiplexer. Th~ DS1 electrical interface conforms to AT&T Publication 61411. The T1 electrical interface is provided by the DS 1 module. Distances up to 650 feet (198 meters) between FOCUS and the higher rate multiplexer system are supported. The frame format for this interface is ESF. This enables matching of the DS0 circuits between Focus and transmission equipment that supports Binary 8 Zero Code Suppression (BSZS). The Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), which is all ones, is also supported. This signal is generated by a higher rate multiplexer if the transmission path is lost. II II 1.8 Maintenance Module The Maintenance Module, which contains a digital switching system, comprises both a main board and a piggyback board. It provides an interface through which you can configure and monitor your FOCUS system. The module maintains and stores configuration data for the entire chassis, including all resident system and channel modules. Using a high-speed watchdog timer, it monitors the health of your system, giving you information on the system’s operation. Three digital, time/space crosspoint switches: U3, U4, and U5, exchange data with the prggrammable peripheral interface U6 on an 8-bit data line. The Maintenance Module also includes: ¯An onboard 80C188 microprocessor to control the switching system ¯A digital telephone interface to provide party line telephone and modem communi- cations (version 2.x only) ¯A 9-pin RS-232 craft interface port for PC communications with FOCUS. ¯Its own memory and real-time clock, enabling it to operate independently from the system ¯A high-speed watchdog timer that.monitors the CPU ¯A high-level serial communications controller October 1999 71 I Chapter 1. Product Description 1:9 ~ T1 Module The T1 Module has four interfaces for a bi-direc- tional link in the east, west, north, and south directions. These Correspond to.transceiver 1-1, 1- 2, 2-1, and 2-2, respectively. This provides communications along a T1 line to the network. All of these interfaces operate in the ~ame manner. That is, they permit Extended SuperFrame (ESF) format users to use the system in loop operation. All data and control information is communicated by 2048 kbit/s serial streams conforming to Mitel’s ST-BUS format. The ST-BUS is a TDM serial bus. The serial streams are divided into 125 gs frames of 32 8-bit channels. .. 1.10 Power Supply Module The Power Supply Module has several regulated voltage supplies: +8 volts, -8 volts, +18 volts, -18 volts, and -30 volts. Each of these is connected to the alarm system so that a failure is indicated on the status .LED and registers an alarm. The Power Supply Module also contains the alarm status LEDs for the major and minor alarms and the external alert. In addition, each FOCUS module provides onboard regulation of the power supply voltages. ¯ 1.11 Modules for Protective Relaying 1.11.1 Protective Relay Interface Module The Protective Relay Interface (PRI) Module provides an interface for four independent bi- directional transfer trip circuits. Either solid state transistor (PRS) or mechanical contact outputs’ (PRI) are available. The transfer trip circuits are applicable for use in: ¯Direct Transfer Trip ¯Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip ¯Permissive Underreaching Transfer Trip ¯Directiorlal Comparison Blocking ¯Directional Comparison Unblocking ¯Secure Contact Status Transfer There are separate guard and block outputs. 1.11.2 Pilot Wire Differential Relay Interface FOCUS provides a digital interface to two types of pilot wire relays: HCB/HCB-1 and SPD. This interface, along with a direct transfer trip (DTT) channel, is included in a single DS0 channel of the FOCUS system. This allows replacement of the traditional metallic pilot wire and all associated pilot wire monitoring devices. The result of this replacement is an ideal pilot wire with nearly ideal impedance and shunt capacitance. A fiber optic link provides immunity from longi- tudinally induced voltages and station ground potential rise (GPR) and total electrical isolation. The monitoring, conditioning, and protection devices requi?ed for the metallic pilot wire,, such as insulation transformers, balancing resistors, neutralizing and drainage reactors, and lightning attesters, are eliminated from the system. 1.12 Tone and Voice Interfaces FOCUS supports both voice and tone interface~ for the electric, substation via the Two-Wire Modules and Four-Wire Modules. These modules support the following applications: ¯Intercom capability (ring down circuits) ¯Remote extension capability ¯Four-wire modems ¯Two-wire modems ¯Audio tones for relaying, etc. ¯PBX extension lines Each of these applications is discussed in the following paragraphs. 1.12.1 Ring Down The ring down capability provides a point-to-point communications circuit using a standard telephone set at each end of the circuit. This capa- bility is achieved by use of a standard telephone set and the originating (FXS) Two-Wire Module (V2W). The V2W carries the signal over a single October 1999 Page 1-5 FOCUS System Ma,nual DS0 in a FOCUS system. The call may be initiated from either end by lifting the handset of the telephone, causing the distant end to start ringing. When the handset at the distant end is lifted, the ringing terminates and the voice channel is established. The call is terminated by each user returning the handset to the cradle. Each V2W module .contains two channels and a common ring generator. One channel may be disabled if not needed. 1.12.2 Remote Extension The remote .extension capability is basicallya transparent relocation of the telephone set to a remote location. It is achieved by uge of a. s_tandard telephone set, a V2W (FXS) at the. remote end, and a V2T (FXO) at the PBX end. The signal is carried over a single DS0 of a FOCUS system. The telephone behaves exactly as if it were connected directly to the local telephone system. A call is initiated by lifting the handset at the terminal with the V2W, waiting for the dial tone, ¯ andthen dialing the desired telephone number. An incoming call will alert the user by ringing a standard telephone. The ringing will stop when the hands.et is lifted. The call is terminated by returning the handset to the cradle. Only DTMF signaling is suppoited. Each V2T module contains two channels. One may be disabled if not needed. 1.12.3 Four-Wire Voice Data Four-Wire Voice (modem and tone equipment) can be supported by use of the Four-Wire Module (V4W) at each end of the circuit which carries the signal over a single DS0 of a FOCUS system. Gain control to adjust the incoming and outgoing signal levels is available through the software: This permits matching of the signal strength to the requirements of the user. The maximum data rate that can be supported by modems using the 4-wire interface is 9600 bps. E&M signaling is supported. Each V4W module contains two channels and uses two DS0 time sims. Signaling may be disabled if not required. ., Technologies, Inc. 1.12.4 Two-Wire Modems Analog data from Two-Wire modems can be su.pported by use of the V2.W at each end of the circuit which carries the signa! over a single DS0’ of a FOCUS system. Gain control’ to adjust the incoming and outgoing signal is available through the donfiguration software. This permits matching of the signal strength to .the requirements of the user. The maximum, data rate that can be supported by modems using the two-wire interface is 4800 bps. II 1.13.RS 232 Low Speed Data Module ., Available on the RS-232 Data Module (232) are a pair of RS-232 data circuits which carry the signal over two DS0 channels of the.FOCUS ~ystem. Each Of the circuits can operate to speeds of up to 19,200 bps asynchronous with two stop bits. Data and modem control signals, such as those in Table 1-1, .are transferred’transparently across the circuit. You do not have to preselect data rates. Connections. are made through standard RS-232C hardware and interface directly with data terminal equipment via a DB9 female connector, without the necessity for modems or other intermediate de~ices. These circuits can be used for Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and other data terminal communica- tions requirements, and are especially useful when extension of the SCADA communications lines to remote sites is inconvenient or expensive..

The signal is carried by 1 DS0 of a FOCUS system. S~ttings for 56 or 64 kb are .. provided. 1.15 Contact Transfer Module The Contact Transfer Module (CTR) provides eight bi-directional contact closure circuits within a 64 kbps DS0 channel. The CTR is ideal for extending the reach of a SCADA Remote Terminal Ufiit (RTU). 1.16 Party Line Data Module The Party Line Data (PLD)Module provides "multi-drop" RS-232 data communications over a single DS0 channel. It occupies one.physical slot on the FOCUS chassis. The module’s interface has a.single DB9 female connector for directly connecting your RS-232 device. The module is ideal for a Variety of polled Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) applications. The module’s salient feature is its addressability, which lets you use a.single DS0 channel in a multi-node network. This feature letsyou send a message from the master, or control, unit attached to the "head" PLD module to a specific PLD module (and its attached RS-232 device) in a multi-drop network. The message passes transparently through the other PLD modules in the network. Because only one PLD module (or attached device) at a time is communicating with the head PLD module (or master unit), only one channel, or time slot, is needed. Using the FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS), you can configure the module to operate in either "internal" or "external" address mode. In internal address mode, the module communicates directly with a computer or other RS-232 device at a data Chapter.1. Product Description rate of 9600 bps. In external address mode, the module may be connected to a variety of RS-232 devices communicating at 0-9600 bps. 1.17 Addressable Two-Wire Voice (PBW/PBT) Module The Addressable Two-Wire Voice Module adds an "intelligent" orderwire capability to your FOCUS system. It lgts you use standard Dual Tone Multi- Frequency (DTMF) telephones to-selectively (usiog user-assigned, three-digit extension numbers) place calls between any two locations (e.g., substations) within a FOCUS orderwire network, as well as between the orderwire system and your company’s Private Branch Exchange (PBIO. This lets you replace any leased phone lines at these locations with the more reliable fiber optic channels provided by your FOCUS system. Both voice and data communication are supported. The module comes in two types: the PBW and the PBT. The PBW is an originating module; it is the one to which you connect your telephones. The PBT is a terminating module; it is the one to which you connect an extension line from your PBX. This connects your orderwire system -- and any stations (PBW modules) on it-- to your PBX. Both the PBW and the PBT modules occupy one physical slot on the FOCUS. chassis and provide one orderwire channel using one DS0 time slot. Both. module types also use the same type of interface, which provides both an R J-9 jack and a compression-type terminal block. This lets you connect your telephone line or PBX extension line either by plugging its R J-9 connector into the RJ-9 jack or connecting its two-wire line directly to the ’ terminal block.

This lets you configure your FOCUS system using a PC connected to tile commun.ications port on the local FOCUS maintenance module.FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS) provides a friendly, Windows-based-graphical user interface (GUI) to retrieve alarm and target data, stream errors, and module status information. This "point-and-.click" interface lets you quickly set and modify time-slot assignments; channel card settings, and other system parameters. If your application requires communicating with a remote chassis, FCS includes Remote Node Configuration (RNC) software, enabling you to execute all FCS. commands both local and remote. Remote communication is as simple as connecting a PC to any FOCUS node and selecting the desired remote node from a "pull-down" menu. Once communication is established, commands are executed.exactly as if you were standing in front of the remote chassis. FOCUS is also compatible with standard SNMP-based network managers tssing the FCA (FOCUS Communications Agent) module. . FCS with RNC can save you valuable travel time and expense. You can perform all system modification and data collection without having to visit individual substatio[ls..

FCA and FOCUS Communication Software (FCS) prov.ide Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and Telnet communications between management stations and FOCUS netWorksover TCP/IP Local or Wide Area Networks. The FCA interface is designed, to work with any standard SNMP management software. A PC connected to the same Ethernet LAN can be used to communicate with any FOCUS in the same system utilizing the FCS Remote Node Configuration (RNC) feature. The FOCUS system must be equipped with Maintenance version 3 (MV3) or greater: The FCA interface module is installed in chassis slot 12 and connects to FOCUS via the front or rear serial port. Local computer access, via FCS, remains available through the front serial port on the Maintenance Module. The FCA provides a 10/100 baseT connection for use in Ethernet LANs. FCA modules can be used at every FOCUS node in a network.or only in nodes where LAN connectivity is desired. All other FOCUS units connected in the system can be accessed and monitored through a single FCA gateway. When an event occurs in a remote FOCUS node, equipped with the trap enable option, the event information is forward- ed via RNC to the FOCUS node containing the FCA. The FCA then generates a "trap" for event notification to be sent over the Ethernet LAN to up to 4 user-defined recipients. Sample FOCUS trap event notifications include: ¯Low Signal alarm for any transceiver ¯Loss of Sync in any transceiver ¯Receiver error ¯No Transceiver detected ¯NOVRAM error ¯Channel Card not responding ¯EXP Chassis bad ¯Trip Key or Trip Out Active ¯Main or Standby Power Supply Alarm ¯Memory Error ¯Framer Failure Events. are defined in the supplied Management Information Base (MIB) to work with your SNMP network management soft- ware. The user may individually select which events, within a given FOCUS node, are trapped and sent to the SNMP manager via the FCA.

Installation 3.1 Installation Notes A FOCUS chassis is typically shipped assembled, with all common equipment, channel modules, and module interfaces already installed. In most cases, the correct software configuration (e.g., synchronization, module settings, DS1 channel assignments) for the installed equipment has also been done .and is stored in the Maintenance Module of each chassis. If your chassis came already assembled (i.e., with-all common-equipment, interfaces, and channel modules installed and configured), the only thing you will have to do, aside from. the recommended acceptance tests (see below), is connect the proper wiring and cables, apply power, and bring it on-line. Complete instructions for connecting the wiring and cables are provided in the "’Hardware Installation and Connections" section later in this chapter. If your chassis came Unassembled, you will need to install the common equipment, interfaces, and channel modules, connect the proper wiring and cables, configure the system using the FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS), and. perform ttie i recommended acceptance tests. The "Hardware Installation and Co.nnectionsr’ section later in this chapter takes you step-by-step through the hardware installation procedure for the chassis and common equipment (i.e., the system modules) and the channel modules and interfaces. Along the way, if tells you how-to connect all wiring and cables to the chassis and the individual module interfaces. The "Software Installation" section, also in this chapter, tells you how to install the FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS) on a PC and then c6nnect the PC to a FOCUS chassis. The software configuration instructions are presented in Chapter 4. They take you step-by- step through configuring the overall system, as well as the individual channel modules. Chapter 4 also provides step-by,step instructions for every procedure you will need to do using the FCS. Step-by-step instructions for performing the acceptance tests for the chassis, the common equipment, and each individual channel module are provided in Chapter 5, as well as in the chapters for the individual modules. Whether your equipment came assembled or unassembled, we recommend that you set up each chassis (or each module that came uninstalled) in a test environment, attach any necessary wiring and cables, and perform the recommended accep- tance tests (see Chapter 5 or the chapters, for individual modules) before installing it in an operating network. 3.1.1 Storage If you are setting the equipment aside before use, we recommend you store it in its special cartons (in a moisture-free area) away from dust and other foreign matter. 3.1.2 Unpacking If the FOCUS is shipped unmounted, it is in special cartons that are designed to protect the equipment against damage. UNPACK EACH PIECE. OF EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY, 80 THAT NO PART8 ARE LOST. Copyright © 1999 Pulsar Technologies, Inc. FOCUS System Manual Inspect the condition of the FOCUS equipment as you remove it from its cartons. You must report any damage to the FOCUS equipment to the carrier. Damages are the responsibility of the carrier, and all damage claims are made good by the carrier. Send a copy of any claim to: Pulsar Technologies, Inc. 4050 NW l~lst Avenue Corn Springs, FL 33065 Attn: Quality Department 3.1.3 Installation Location Install the FOCUS in an area which is free from: ¯Temperature exceeding environmental limits ¯Corrosive fumes ¯Dust ¯Vibration 3.1.4 The FOCUS Chassis The FOCUS chassis comprises three main parts: the cover, the metal rack, and the motherboard. Following are.descriptions of each, including their role hi the assembly, or installation, process. 3.1.4.1 The Chassis Cover The cover of the FOCUS chassis has a fixed tab on the left side and a sliding tab on the right side, which contains a hole for placing a meter seal, if desired. It is constructed of metal for rigidity and electromagnetic interference immunity (EMI). -Holes are punched so that you can easily see the status LEDs on all installed system and channel modules without removing the cover. A plastic appliqu6 is applied to the face of the covet to guard agahist scratches and provide label_ing for the status LEDs, which are visible through the plastic appliquf. It is not possible to install the cover with any FOCUS¯ module not fully installed. 3.1.4.2 The FOCUS Rack The.metal rack includes .24 card slots into which you insert the FOCUS .system and channel modules. Plastic appliques are provided above and below the module slots, with labels for the system Technologies, Inc. modules and guide marks for the channel modules. You may write on and erase these labels with a standard #2 lead pencil. This permits easy identificatibn of the installed channel modules. A nameplate is affixed to the inside right side of the metal rack. The style number on the nameplate reflects the configuration of the system modules when the chassis was shipped from the factory. The sides of the chassis hold adjustable flanges to permit you to mount the FOCUS unit at varying depths within a 19" (482.6 mm) rack. Perforated protection screen~ are installed on the top of the chassis to prevent ~mall particles from falling onto the electronics on any of the circuit boards. You may use the FOCUS either in one of the following configurations: ¯Mounted in a fixed-rack cabinet. ¯Mounted hi a swing:rack cabinet. ¯Mounted on an open rack. or in your own, customer-specified configuration. IF YOU ARE USING THE FOCUS WITH A SWING- RACK CABINET, MAK1F. SURE THAT THE CABINET I$ FIRMLY FASTENED BEFORE- OPENINGTHE RACK (TO PREVENT TIPPING). 3.1.4.3 The FOCUS Motherboard -The FOCUS motherboard, or backplane, comes already installed in the FOCUS chassis; It is mounted on the rear of the chassis. The chassis serial number identification is affixed near the lower left corner of the motherboard, when viewed from the rear. The front of the motherboard, which is on the inside of the chassis, provides the connections for the system modules, or common eqmpment, and the channel modules. When you insert the modules into the chassis, they connect to the- inside face of the motherboard. Page 3-2 October 1999 -::i:t The motherboard’s rear panel, which is on the outside of the chassis, provides the interface connections for the chassis, the :common equipment, and the individual channel modules. The connectors for the chassis and the common equipment are on the lefthand side of the mother- board. ’ 3.2. Installation Summary This section provides a summary of the FOCUS installation process. This basically involves installing the system and channel modules, attaching th.e interfaces for the channel modules, connecting the wiring and cables, and configuring the overall system and the individuai channel modules using the FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS). This summary is intended for information only. To perform a complete installation, please follow the instructions in the "Hardware Installation and Connections" and "Software Installation" sections later in this chapter. To configure your sYstem and the individual channel modules, please refer to the instructions in Chapter. 4. 3.2.1 System and Channel Module Installation If necessary, you install the system modules by inserting them into their assigned .slots on the righthand side of the chassis, when viewed from the front. The slots for the Maintenance Module are on the extreme right of the chassis. The T1 (framer) Module goes in the next slot to the left. Next. are the two slots reserved for transceivers. You may use one or two transceiver modules, depending on the desired system configuration. To. the left of the second transceiver are two slots reserved for the main and standby power supplies. You may use one or two power supplies, again depending on the desired, system configuration. Installing the cha~nel modules is the same as for the system modules. The only difference is that you insert them on the lefthand side.of the chassis, in the slots labeled "!~" through "127’ The placement of the channel modules is entirely up to you. Note, however, that the channel modules and their rear-panel interfaces must be in the ~ame Chapter 3. Installation position (i.e., they must be connected to each other through the connectors on the motherboard). 3.2.2 Rear Panel Connectors The rear panel connectors for the common equipment is the same for all chassis. On the . lefthand side are two blue male connectors. The uppermost of these, labeled "P1 EXPANSION," is used to connect an expansion chassis, if present. The remaining jack, labeled "TEST," is for factory use only in testing the system. During installation, you connect the power supply and external alarm contacts to the J13 terminal. block on the lefthand side of the motherboard. If the FOCUS chassis input/output is fiber optic, you pass the fiber optic cables through the two holes at the rear of the chassis labeled "FIBER OPTIC XCVR-I" and "FIBER OPTIC XCVR-2’" and connect them directly to the fiber optic trans- ceivers. ¯ If the FOCUS chassis has an electrical DS1 Transceiver Module, you connect the cable directly to the DS 1 interface, labeled ’:P2," .on the motherboard. In addition to the system connections, you also., during installation, connect the proper wiring to the channel module interfaces, which are plugged into the connectOrs on the righthand side of the motherboard. On their "inside’.’ face, these interface modules all have the same DIN .connector, so tha~ you can Connect them to the back of the motherboard. On the side facing out, however, they have various types of connectors on them, depending on the type of channel moitules being used and the application, The compression-type terminal block, which are present on several of the interface modules, accept a wire size of-14 awg maximum, .though 16 or 18 .gauge is preferred. 3.2.3 Expansion Chassis A second, or expansion, chassis is necessary when YOur application requires more channel modules for a single chassis than will actually fit in it. If. you install an expansion chassis, you must mount it directly above the main chassis. To connect the expansion, chassis, locate the special connector cable supplied with the expansion chassis and FOCUS System Manual connect-it to the blue connector labeled "P1 EXPANSION" on both chassis. 3.2.4 Configuration and Startup Once the hardware is install~d and the w.iring ¯ connected, the next step i~ the software configura- tion. To configure the FOCUS system and the individual channel modules, y0u must ftrst install the FOCUS Configuration Software (FCS) on a PC and connect the PC to the FOCUS chassis, using a standard RS-232 extension cable. You use the FCS for all system configuration. (See Chapter 4, "Configuring Your FOCUS System," for complete details and instructions.) 3.2.5 Acceptance Tests )ks noted previously, we recommend that you initially set up and, if necessary, assemble each chassis and install each uninstalled module in a test environment, attach any necessary wiring and cables, .and perform the recommended acceptance tests before installing the chassis or module in an operating network. This means that you might have to complete some Of the wiring and connec- tions twice, once for the acceptance tests and. once for the actual on-line installation. Complete, step-by-step instructions for testing an assembled chassis and all installed equipment are provided in Chapter 5. Complete,. step-by-step instructions for the individual (system or channel) modules are provided both in Chapter 5 and in the chapters for the individual modules. 3.3 Hardware Installation and Connections This section provides complete assembly and installation instructions for your FOCUS chassis and all its components. The instructions are broken down into the following major steps: 1. Connecting the power cables !Pdls-=,r Technologies, Inc. 2.Connecting the inter-node (transceiver) cables 3.Installing the common equipment 4.Energizing the chassis 5.Installing the channel modules 6.Installing the channel module interfaces 7.Connecting the interface wiring and cables Note that when you perform the recommended acceptance tests, as described in Chapter 5, you will already have completed most of these steps. If so (and if you.have not disassembled the chassis in the meantime), just complete the remaining steps. This will typically include Steps 1, 2, 4, and 7 above. To assemble your FOCUS chassis, complete the following seven steps: Connect the power cables. If you have a single.Power Supply Module, connect the wiring from the ac or dc power source to screws 1 and 2 on the J13 terminal block on the rear of the chassis (see Figure 3-1). For convenience, these positions are labeled MAIN POWER. You must also connect screw 12, labeled GND, to an elec- trical ground. The power supply connection is not polarity sensitive for any voltage rating. If you have both main and standby Power Supply Modules and a single power source, connect the wiring from the .ac or dc power source to screws 1 and 2 on the J13 terminal block on the rear .of the chassis (see Figure 3-1). For convenience, these positions are labeled MAIN POWER. Also connect the power source to the standby power supply, screws 3 and 4. Note that positions 3 and 4 are labeled STANDBY POWER. You must also connect screw 12, labeled GND, to an elec- trical ground. The power supply connection is not polarity sensitive for any voltage rating. i P~ge 3-4 October 1999 Chapter 3, Installation PWR MAIN 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10. 11 .12 J13 rr Orr PWR STBY Figure 3-1, FOCUS Power Supply Connections. Before applying power to the chassis, you must connect Screw 12 (labeled GND) on the J13 terminal block’at the rear of the chassis to an electrical ground. If you have both main and standby Power Supply Modules and a separate power source for each, connect the wiring from the main ac or dc power source,to screws 1 and 2 on the J13 terminal block on the rear of the chassis (see Figure 3-1). For convenience, these positions are labeled MAIN POWER. Then, connect the wiring from the backup acor dc power source to screws 3 and 4. Note that positions 3 and 4. are labeled STANDBY POWER. You must also connect screw 12, labeled GND, to an electrical ground. The power supply connection is not polarity sensitive for any voltage rating. Connect the inter-node (transceiver) cables. If the chassis input/output.interface is fiber optic (i.e., if it has one or more Optical Transceiver Modules), make the connection as follows: Pass the fiber optic cables through the two holes at the rear of the chassis labeled "FIBER OPTIC XCVR-1" (for the transceiver/s in the XCVR-1 slot) and "FIBER OPTIC XCVR-2" (for the transceiver/s in the XCVR-2 slot) Connect the cables directly to the fiber optic transceiver(s). If, when you install a dual transceiver, you connect just one of the.transceivers saving the second transceiver for future .use--you must jumper the unused transmitter to the unused receiver using an external jumper. If the chassis input/output interface is elec- trical (i.e., if it has one or more DS1 Transceiver Modules), make the connection as follows: Connect the interface cable directly to the DS1 interface, labeled "P2," on the mother- board. The pin assignments for the module’s DB25 female connector are shown in Figure 3-2. Carefully wire a DB25 male connector for your equipment. Note that the interface is designed to accommodate two DS1 Transceiver Modules, with each having single or dual transceivers. You need to connect wires only for the number of transceivers actually present. For example, if you are connecting one DS1 Transceiver Module with dual transceivers to two external DS1 ports, wire the pins for both transceivers. If you are connecting to a single external DS 1 port, you need only wire the pins for a single transceiver. October 1999 Page 3-5 FOCUS System Manual If, when you install a dual transceiver, you connect just one of the transceivers--saving the second transceiver for. ,future use~you must jumper the unused transmitter to the unused receiver using an external jumPer. 3.Install the common equipment. The slots for the common equipment, or system modules, are on the righthand side of the chasgis, when viewed from the front. The slot for each module is labeled accordingly. To install each system module, carefully insert it into the top and bottom grooves of its desig- nated slot (e.g., insert the .Maintenance Module into the slot labeled "MAINTEN- ANCE’). The grooves are marked with black lines for ease in alignment. Slide the module all the way in until it is well seated in the slot. Lock it into place using the black inject/eject lever on the front of the module.

DS} Transceiver Module Interface Connector. Technologies, Inc. Energize the chassis. Energize the chassis by applying power from the connected power source. When you first ehergize the chassis, the red/green status LED on the front of each system module is red. If the modules are func- tional, their .status LEDs should turn green - within 20. sec0ndsl If a module is non-func- tional, its status LED stays red, even after 20 seconds’ have elapsed, 5.Install the channel modules. The slots for the channel modules are on the lefthand side of the chassis, when viewed from the front. They are labeled "1" through "12." As with the system modules, some. channel modules require two slots, while others require just one slot. Unlike the system modules, the placement of the channel modules is entirely up to you. Note, however, that you must match each channel module up with its interface on the rear panel. To install each channelmodule, carefully insert it into the top and bottom grooves of an open slot. The grooves are marked with black lines for ease in alignment. Slide the module all the way in until it is well seated in the slot. Lock it into place using the black inject/eject lever on the front .of the module. As you insert each module, the red/green status LED on the front of the module is red. If the module is functional, its status LED should turn green within 20 seconds. If the module is non-functional, its status LED ,stays red, even after 20 seconds have elapsed. 6.Install the channel module interfaces. You install the channel module interfaces by plugging them into the connectors on the right rear of the motherboard that correspond to the matching channel module. The motherboard has identical mate DIN connectors for every channel module slot. the moduleinterfaces all have matching female DIN connectors (on their "inside" facg), so that you can easily connect them to the moth- October 1999 i ’.i Page 3-6 D e}board. On the si~e facing out, however, the module interfaces have various types of connectors on them, depending on the type of channel module you are connecting to and the application. Connect the interface ffiring and cables, This step includes instructions for connecting each of the various types of module interfaces. Refer to the instructions for the interfaces on your chassis. Connect the proper wiring to the V2W/V2T interfac.e module, as follows: The V2W/V2T interface module has both a compression-type terminal block and two RJ- 9 connectors. As Figure 3-3 shows, one RJ-9 jack is for channel A, the other for channel B. As Fig~e 3-3 also shows, the terminal block has wiring connections for the two channels. If you are using telephone wires with R J-9 connectors, simply plug the connector into the RJ-9 jack for the channel you are using. As Figure 3-3 shows, channel A is labeled "A" and channel B is labeled "B." If you are using telephone wires without RJ-9 connectors, connect your wires according to the position assignments in Figure 3-3. Channels A and B are labeled accordingly. Likewise, the’ "ring" connections are labeled "R," and yhe "tip" connections are labeled "T." You need to make a connection to a channel only if you are using it. You do not have to connect a ground to an unused channel, jack, or terminal block. Connect the proper wiring to the V4W interface module, as follows: The V4W interface module has two terminal blocks. As Figure 3-4 shows, the block used to connect signaling devices is labeled "P2 SIGNALING," and the block used for audio connections is labeled "P1 AUDIO." Both are compression-type terminal blocks that easily accommodate up to one 14 AWG stranded wire. To connect a wire to any position on either terminal block, turn the s’crew counter- Chapter 3. Installation clockwise, slide the wire beneath the spring, and then tighten the screw. V2T/V2W’.,!.~ Figure 3-3. ~/2W / V2T Interface Module. The interface comes with two jumpers on the signaling terminal block (P2): one on positions 1 and 2 (B to M on channel A) and another on positions 5 and 6 (B to M on channel B). If you are using the module for signaling, remove the jumper(s) from the "signaling" channel(s). October 1999 Page 3-7 ¯ FOCUS System Manual Connect only the channels you are using on each terminal block. You do not have to connect a ground to any unused chann.els, or terminals. To transmit Signal~g information, connect your wires to the P2 terminal block according to the position assignments shown in Figure 3-4. Remember to remove the jumper from the B-M positions on the channel you are wiring for signaling, Connect your audio wires to. the P1 terminal block according to the position assignments shown in Figure 3-4. There are two input connections and two output connections (channel A and channel B) on the block.When connecting four-wire telephone cable, be careful to connect input to input and output to output, as labeled. The "tip" and "ring" Connections on P1 are as follows: the first position on the block (position 1 for input A) is the "tip" connec- tion, the second is the "ring" connection, and so on down the block for each input/output. If you are USilig regular teleph0ne wire for connections, follow the color codes shown for P1 hi Figure 3-4. (i.e., ¥=yellow, G=green for channel A input, etc.). Connect ~he proper wiring to the PRI/PRS interface module, as follows: The Protective Relay Interface Module interface has either a 20-position, compres- sion-type terminal block; as shown in Figure 3-5, or two 10-position, screw-type blocks, as shown in Figure 3-6, To connect a wire to any position on the compression-type terminal block, turn the screw counter-clockwise, slide the wire beneath the spring, and then tighten the. screw. On the screw-type block, simply loosen the screw as above, insert the wire beneath it, and then tighten the screw.

Proposals from three suppliers were evaluated: GE Multilin, Pulsar Technologies, Inc., and RFL Electronics, Inc. A detailed summary of the proposal data is provided on the attached table entitled "Proposal Evaluation Summary." Bums & McDonnell recommends that the City select Pulsar Technologies, Inc. to supply the substation fiber optic communications network. Our rationale is summarized below in the following paragraphs: All three suppliers are of first quality and have excellent reputations for providing reliable utility communication systems. All three suppliers have offered network solutions that fully meet the specifications. While GE Multilin offers the most robust solution in terms of bandwidth, this capacity comes at a significantly higher cost. We believe the added costs are not justified by the C~ty’s initial and anticipated needs for this network. The remaining two proposals offer equal capacity at comparable costs. The Pulsar proposal is recommended for the following, reasons: ¯Because the Pulsar FOCUS multiplexer does not require an external DACs, it is physically smaller than the’RFL IMUX 2000/DACs combination, requiring only half the vertical rack space. Equipment mounting space is very limited in many of your substations. ¯In our opinion the Pulsar FOCUS multiplexer more simple and’straightforward in its configuration. We believe that ~his makes the FOCUS a better fit for the City of Palo Alto Utilities Department, since your technicians do not have experience with fiber optic multiplexers. However, we acknowledge that such judgements are subjective and therefore debatable. ¯The Pulsar offering is covered by a 5-year warranty, whereas RFL offers a 2-year warranty. To extend the RFL warranty to 5 years would require a 6% (2% per year) cost adder (see attached "Proposal Evaluation Summary" - Note 2). Bums & McDonnell has used the Pulsar FOCUS on several projects in the past, including Imperial Irrigation District, the City of Batavia, Illinois, and the City of Willmar, Minnesota. In each of these projects, we were well satisfied with the performance of the product. We have also checked several additional references that are documented bY the attached memos. All references were favorable. Jim Bujtor June 21, 2002 We recommend that your total project budget include.a 10% contingency above the "Total Project Cost" listed on the attached table to fund additional field services and/or minor changes in configuration if needed during the project. Sincerely James G. Cupp, P.E.
