2.1 INTRODUCTION

The 86445-32 2W FXS (dual-channel) unit is one of the family of units in the GE
Multilin's JungleMUX digital transport/access system designed specifically for the
requirements of the utility (Power, Transportation, Pipelines, Oil & Gas, etc.)
industry using optical fiber transmission.
The 86445-32 2W FXS/PLAR unit provides the interface between two 2-wire VF
lines with FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) or PLAR (Private Line Automatic
Ringdown) signaling and a JungleMUX node. Note that there is also a single-
channel version of this unit (86445-31) providing only one such interface. The
two units implement completely different hardware solutions and therefore are
described separately.
The Part 2 of this manual explains how to operate, install and maintain the
86445-32 2W FXS (dual-channel) unit. A unit description and block diagram are
included as well as a detailed description of the unit's operation. The 86445-31
2W FXS (single-channel) unit is addressed in Part 1.
Engineering documentation includes EAS schematics for all unit circuitry.
