This equipment complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. Located on the
equipment is the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). You must provide this information to the telephone
company if requested.
The Registration number and REN will be inscribed on the printed
circuit board on insert cards or on a label attached to either the chassis
bottom or metal end plate on standalone or rack models. In any case,
the FCC requires these numbers to be prominently displayed on an
outside surface of the equipment.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may legally
connect to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the REN of
all devices connected to one line must not exceed five (5.0). You
should contact your telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for your calling area.
The telephone company may change technical operations or
procedures affecting your equipment. You will be notified of changes
in advance to give you ample time to maintain uninterrupted telephone
service.

frequency energy, interfering with radio communications, if not
installed and used according to the instruction manual. It has been
tested and complies with the limits for a Class A computer device,
according to FCC Rules, Part 15. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area may cause interference. If it does, you must correct the

Introduction
he Telenetics RM16MUniversal Data Shelf™ is a heavy-gauge
steel-plated modem rack chassis. It measures 7 inches high and
10.75 inches deep, and mounts in a standard 19-or 23-inch rack.
The Data Shelf comes in two versions: AC (RM16M ACV-R) and DC
(RM16M DCV-R). This Guide covers both versions.
Overview
The Telenetics RM16M Universal Data Shelf has slots that accept 16:
vModems
vMultiplexers
vDigital Data Service (DDS) units
vDial backup units
vAutomatic calling units
All of these devices are plug-in printed circuit (PC) cards that slide
into the front of the Data Shelf. The cards can be mixed in any way
within the Data Shelf. Each card has been independently tested and
meets Part 68, FCC rules and regulations.
Power, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), and communication-line
connections are made at the back panel of the Data Shelf (see “Back
Panel Interface Connectors” on page 9). This allows PC cards to be
installed or replaced, without disturbing the cable connections at the
back
The AC version of the Data Shelf accepts a single power module that
occupies two slots, while the DC version accepts two power modules
that occupy one slot each. The power modules power all the PC cards

in the Data Shelf, converting user-supplied 48 volt DC input to + 15
Vdc, −15 Vdc, and +8.5 Vdc outputs for distribution to the PC cards.
Regulators on the PC cards convert the plus and minus 15 Vdc to plus
and minus 12 Vdc and + 8.5 Vdc to +5 Vdc.
NOTE: If two power modules are installed in the DC version of the
Data Shelf, one powers the Data Shelf while the other acts as a
redundant power source.
Figure 1-1 shows an example of the location and orientation of the
modem cards and power module. For convenience, the front panel of
the Data Shelf is hinged to allow easy access to the modem cards and
power module(s) without disturbing the DTE and communication-line
connections at the back of the Data Shelf.

Back Panel Interface Connectors
All DTE, Telco and power connections are made at the back panel of
the Data Shelf.
The DTE connectors can be:
vIndividual 25-pin connectors one for each PC card (standard)
vTwo 50-pin mass termination connectors (optional)
vWire-wrap pins (optional)
The Telco connectors can be:
vIndividual 8-pin modular jacksone for each PC card (standard)
vTwo 50-pin termination connectors (optional)
vWire-wrap pins (optional)
The telephone-line connectors are identified by the telephone
company Universal Service Ordering Code (USOC) and must be
specified when ordering standard jack arrangements from Telenetics.
The various jack arrangements ensure that the signal level received at
the telephone company central office does not exceed–12 dBm. The
Data Shelf has been registered with the FCC per the requirements of
Part 68 of the FCC rules for:
1. Programmable Mode the local telephone company will install a
resistor internal to the jack (USOC RJ455 or RJ41S).
2. Permissive Mode the individual modem cards are
preprogrammed for a maximum transmit level of –9 dBm (USOC
RJ11C or RJ16X).
Figures 1-3 through 1-5 show examples of Data Shelf back panels.
NOTE: For more information about the power connections, refer
to “Electrical Installation” on page 16.
