Introduction to the Fiber Optic Modem
General Overview The Fiber Optic Modem is used to simplify field wiring and increase transmission distances by
converting system copper-wired interfaces to fiber optic connections. It has field wiring
connections for the Digital Audio Riser, Analog Audio Risers, RUI, and 4120 Network. A
Modem pair replaces copper wiring between any two points including node-to-node, node-to-
transponder, and transponder-to-transponder. The Modem is invisible to the connected
equipment, and does not need to be programmed in as part of the job (except for power supply
current calculations). The Modem combines the input signals so they can be communicated
over one fiber in both directions.
In general, the Modem installation is accomplished by simply connecting the wires that would
normally be routed between cabinets to the Modem. The only additional steps required when
using a Modem rather than copper are:
Modems are always installed in pairs. There are four versions: a “right-port” and “left-port”
version for each type of fiber; left and right for single-mode and a left and right for multimode.
Any Modem link must consist of one of each type. The order in which Modem pairs are
installed is arbitrary. A “left-to-right” Modem pair can be followed by another “left-to-right”
pair, or by a “right-to-left” pair.
Definitions and Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA): EAA refers to a reformatted version of the Analog Audio
Terms Riser that is wired between modems. In an EAA system, modems pass the Riser to the next
modem as a digital signal via the DAR channel. EAA disallows the use of Analog Channel 2.
Generic: A “Generic” modem is any modem that is not a Head-End or Tail-End modem. In a
Class B configuration, all modems are generic.
Head end: A “Head-End” modem is a modem with an electrical connection to the primary side
of the head-end cabinet. If there are any fiber optic links between a modem and the head-end
cabinet, then that modem is not a head-end modem. A modem with additional nodes or
transponders between itself and the head-end cabinet, but no optical links, can still be a head-
end modem.
Local side: The “local side” of any configuration refers to all portions of the wiring loop that
are electrically connected to the head-end cabinet. Any wiring that is isolated from the head
end via one or more optical links is not electrically connected, and therefore considered
“remote.”
NIC: Network Interface Card.
Remote side: The “remote side” of any configuration refers to all portions of the wiring loop
that are not electrically connected to the head-end cabinet. Any system that is electrically
connected to the head end (no optical links) is considered “local.”
RIC: Riser Interface Card.
Tail end: A “Tail-End” modem is a modem with an electrical connection to the secondary side
(also known as a Class A return) of the head-end cabinet. If there are any fiber optic links
between a modem and the head-end cabinet, then that modem is not considered a tail-end
modem. A modem with additional nodes or transponders between itself and the head end, but
no optical links, can still be a tail-end modem.
X-link: The “x-link” is a pair of RUI or Analog Audio Riser wires that connect head-end and
tail-end modems to one another. The link is required to maintain an electrical connection
between the primary and secondary sides of the local-side wiring loop. (X-link definition is
continued on the next page.)
1
Introduction to the Fiber Optic Modem, Continued
Definitions and X-link (continued): X-link connections are only required in Class A Analog Audio and
Terms Class A RUI configurations. They are not required for the Digital Audio Riser interface, a
Network interface, or for any other Class B configuration. Where required, the x-link
connection maintains Class A supervision even though the remote side of the fiber link is
electrically isolated. The x-link is only wired between the two modems that are electrically
connected to the head-end cabinet via RUI or riser wiring. (It is still considered electrically
connected even if there are transponders between the modem and the head-end cabinet.)
Digital Audio The Modem replaces copper wiring between a Digital Audio Controller and a Digital Audio
Riser Overview Riser Interface Card, or between Digital Audio Riser Interface cards. Modem connections can
be used between transponders, or between nodes in Network systems.
Analog Audio The Modem replaces copper wiring between an Analog Audio Controller and an Analog Audio
Riser Overview Riser Interface Card, or between Analog Audio Riser Interface cards. Modem connections can
be used between transponders, or between nodes in network systems. The Modem can be
configured for 10 Vrms audio risers (standard), 1 V peak-to-peak audio risers, or 0.707 Vrms.
The standard analog audio usage of the fiber modem imposes a 6-modem-pair limit on system
size. The Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA) feature removes this limitation by keeping a version
of the analog stream digital through the wired link. Using EAA imposes other limitations,
however, that include the following:
• Limitation to one analog channel only (Channel 1).
• Requires that the EAA wire (connected to DAR terminals) be close nippled (since it is
unsupervised).
• Excludes the usage of the DAR interface for the Digital Audio Riser because the DAR
interface is used as the EAA channel.
4120 Network The Modem can replace either one or two wired connections between Network Interface
Overview Cards. It can replace the right-port wire, the left-port wire, or both. The Network Interface
Cards that the Modem will connect to must have wired media cards installed. The Modem can
be used to replace wiring between any two NICs, and it can also be used in lieu of a Physical
Bridge. When the Modem is used in lieu of a Physical Bridge, the network topology appears as
a typical ring configuration since the Modem effectively replaces two wires between the local
and remote node.
Refer to Figure A-20 that shows an Interconnected Loop without a Physical Bridge. The
Interconnected Loop normally requires a Physical Bridge but doesn’t in this diagram because
modems are used.
Note that references to 4020, 4120, and 4100 Legacy Fire Alarm Panel systems are for retrofit
applications only. None of these Fire Alarm System models have been listed to the Ninth
Edition of UL864.
RUI Overview The Modem replaces copper wiring between a CPU Motherboard and Transponder Interface
card, between Transponder Interface cards, or between a RUI card and Transponder Interface
card. Maximum of eight pairs of Modems for RUI if wired Class A.
Fiber Modem The Audio Expansion Board allows the Fiber Optic Modem to interface with 4100 Legacy
Audio Expansion Audio systems. The card has two channels, each of which are selectable for 70 Vrms or
Board 25 Vrms risers. The card converts the 70 Vrms or 25 Vrms to a 10 Vrms signal to be used by the
modem. The card connects to the modem using a ribbon harness.

Introduction to the Fiber Optic Modem, Continued
Fiber Modem The Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board enables the Fiber Optic Modem to interface with
Phone Expansion 4100U/4100ES firefighter’s phone systems. The card has two analog audio channels, a phone
Board Overview port, and an IDNet port. The card connects to the modem via a ribbon harness and using its two
analog audio risers. One must be configured as an analog audio controller, the other as an
analog audio riser. The phone port connects to the Firefighter’s Phone card riser IN port. An
on-board TRIAM is used to monitor the fiber modem’s analog audio riser and must be wired to
an IDNet controller. See Figure 1 for an example of the configuration.
Limitations:
• Since the card uses both analog audio channels of the fiber modem, analog audio is not
supported by the fiber modem when configured for the Fiber Modem Phone Expansion
Board.
• When the card is used, phones connected through the card are not suitable for audio paging
and cannot be programmed to provide audio system paging capability.
• A maximum of five Fiber Links are allowed (not including the backup link in a Class A
setup).
• A maximum of four phones plus one master phone can talk simultaneously.
• Every Firefighter’s Phone Card where the riser IN port is wired to a Fiber Modem Phone
Expansion Board must have a dedicated phone circuit programmed as a phone riser to turn
ON the relay on the Firefighter’s Phone Card.
• Where several Firefighter’s Phone cards are wired together using copper wires, the card
that connects to the Fiber Optic Firefighters Phone adapter must have a second phone
circuit (different from the one used to keep the Firefighter’s Phone card relay ON)
programmed as a phone riser that connects to the riser IN of the other cards. Note that this
second phone riser is not required if the Firefighter’s Phone cards are all located within the
same box and connect through the PDI.
• Class A and Class B configurations are supported by the Fiber Modem Phone Expansion
Board.
• ES Master Revision 1.03.01 or later is required in order to use the Fiber Modem Phone
Expansion Board.

Fiber Modem Audio Expansion Board
Description The Fiber Modem Audio Expansion Board is a module that allows the modem to interface to a
4100 audio system. It attaches to the fiber modem via a ribbon cable and riser wires. The 4100
audio system uses 25 or 70.7 Vrms risers. The expansion board converts these levels to
10 Vrms risers for use on the fiber modem.
The Audio Expansion Board mounts in either a 4100 cabinet on its mounting bracket, or in the
Fiber Modem Expansion Cabinet (refer to Figure 8 and Table 1 for details). The module wires
to a 4100-style signal card in either Class A or B configurations, or directly to the amplifier's
output in Class A only. Refer to Figure 15 for wiring details of the expansion board. All wiring
from the expansion board must be close nippled.

Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board
Description The Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board interfaces the firefighter’s phone subsystem with
fiber optic modem analog audio risers. It enables two way voice communications between the
4100 master phone station and remote firefighter phone stations through fiber optic links. The
adapter features a hybrid circuit which interfaces the two-wire firefighter’s phone riser to the
four-wire analog audio riser of the fiber modem.
The Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board is an adjunct board to the fiber optic modem. It uses
an onboard relay IAM with T-Sense to monitor its analog audio riser OUT port for “Opens” or
“Shorts” and reports them through IDNet. Loss of power on the Phone Expansion board is
monitored using the on-board TRIAM and reports as "Abnormal". The adapter connects to the
phone card’s “Riser In”. The TRIAM’s relay is used for control in case of a fault with the fiber
(refer to “Phone Riser Custom Control on Each Node” in this document for details about
custom control programming of the TRIAM). The adapter receives 24V and 5V from the fiber
optic modem via a ribbon harness. It is wired to both of the fiber optic modem’s analog audio
channels.

Mounting
Mounting The modem must always be mounted in a 4100U or 4100ES main panel, transponder cabinet,
Instructions for 4100 cabinet, Remote Expansion Cabinet (4190-9021, -9022, -9024, -9025), or any other
the Modem and close-nippled cabinet. It is either installed in the same manner as other standard panel 4-inch
the Modem Audio (102 mm) X 11-inch (279 mm) option cards (except that there is no PDI connection), or
Expansion Board mounted using the mounting plate in the 4100 or any other close-nippled cabinet. In either
case, you must install the modem with the fiber optic transceiver pointing down so as to
provide proper airflow to the heat sinks. See Figure 6.
The Remote Expansion Cabinet is required when the modem is used with a 4007ES, 4010,
4010ES, or 4020 (Network Communications only application). When the modem is used with
a 4100, 4100U, or 4100ES system, the expansion cabinet can be used if space within the
system box does not permit the installation of the modems in the main cabinet. The modem
must be close nippled to its host cabinet.
In contrast, the Modem Audio Expansion Board can only be mounted in an Expansion Cabinet,
in a 4100 bay using the mounting plate, or close nippled in a transponder cabinet.

Wiring
The following Modem wiring must be within a system box or close-nippled to a system box:
• Digital Audio Riser
• 24V Card Power
• 4120 Network Left Port
• Analog Audio Risers
• RUI
The remainder of this section covers the actual fiber connection and then details wiring
specifications with accompanying wiring diagrams for the 4120 Network, Analog Audio Riser,
Digital Audio Riser (DAR), and RUI.
Note: Ferrite beads are required where the DAR, 4120 Network, and RUI wiring enters or exits a system
box. Except for the 4120 Network Right Port and the RUI
X-Link, ferrite beads for all wires are supplied with their respective equipment. Ferrite beads for the
RUI X-Link and the 4120 Network Right Port are supplied with the modem (Ferrite Bead Kit Part No.
742-940.)
Fiber Connection The fiber optic cable uses a standard ST connector. When mating the connector to the Modem,
be sure to align the connector’s key properly to avoid any undue stress to the Modem.
CAUTION: The fiber optic cable is easily damaged. To prevent permanent damage to the
fiber, avoid bending radii smaller than 1.5 inches
(38 mm), or as specified by the fiber optic cable manufacturer.
19
Wiring, Continued
4120 Network These wiring specifications apply to the Modem’s 4120 Network Right Port only (the Left Port
Wiring must be internal or use close-nippled wiring):
Specifications
The distances listed below allow for the introduction of two lightning suppressors
(TEPG Part# 2081-9027) into the communication line for installations where the wiring leaves
the building. These distances are shown for 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) and 24 AWG
(0.2047 mm2) wiring at 57.6Kbps and 9600Bps.
The specifications for the cables to be used in order to meet the above transmission distances
are as follows:
18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) Fire-Rated, Twisted-Shielded Cable must not exceed a capacitance
between conductors of 58pF per foot and not have a DC resistance greater than 6.385 ohms per
1,000 feet (305 meters).
24 AWG (0.2047 mm2) Twisted, Unshielded Telephone Cable must not exceed a capacitance
between conductors of 22pF per foot and not have a DC resistance greater than 25.6 ohms per
1,000 feet (305 meters).
When using twisted-shielded pair, the shield is to be connected to Earth ground (Chassis). It is
recommended that the shield be connected to Earth ground at one end of the link only (Left
Port). When terminating the shield to Earth Ground, it is also preferable to connect it on the
chassis as close to the exiting point of the back box as possible. Earth ground is also available
on the external terminal block, and on the host’s port connectors. When using 0 V in lieu of
Earth ground for shield connection, only one end of the link should be connected (Left Port).

example, a 10,000-foot [3,048-meter] loop of copper could be connected to another
10,000-foot [3,048-meter] loop of copper if the two loops were electrically isolated using
fiber optic cable).
• Wiring must be free of all grounds.
• All riser wiring is supervised and power-limited.
• “T” tapping is not allowed from the Modem.
• The DAR interface wiring, when used for Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA), must be close
nippled because it is not supervised.

riser’s terminal block positions and the x-link as shown in this diagram. If using 18 AWG (0.8231 mm ) or smaller wire, then
2
make connections as indicated in this diagram. If using wire larger than 18 AWG (0.8231 mm ), then insert a short piece of
wire into the terminal block positions and connect the riser and x-link wiring using a wire nut.
2. For Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA) systems, do not make Riser 2 connections.

Wiring, Continued
Enhanced Analog Enhanced Analog Audio (EAA) eliminates the restriction on the number of modem pairs that
Audio (EAA) Riser can be used in an analog audio system. In an EAA system, you can use only Riser 1
Wiring (Channel 1). EAA does not affect the content of the analog riser; it only affects the format of
Specifications transmission throughout the modem chain.
Note: In an EAA system, modems transmit the analog riser via the EAA wiring or the riser channels. If riser
channels are used to pass the riser, the maximum number of modem pairs passing the riser over the
riser channels is limited to six.

Testing and Troubleshooting
General Use this section as an aid in testing and troubleshooting a fiber modem pair installation. It
should be noted that a fiber fault can cause a trouble on all connected media. A fiber fault must
be resolved before any further troubleshooting or testing can be performed. The following
general checkouts should always be performed upon installation of a modem pair:
1. Verify that the “Fiber Fault” LED is not illuminated. If it is not, then the fiber connection is
operating. (See Table 13 and the Fiber Fault LED section [next page] for details on LED
indications.) If it is illuminated, verify the following:
a. The modems are actually a mated pair. Perform this action by checking the
assembly number of the fiber optic transceiver board that mounts to the main
board. For multimode fiber, one transceiver should be 566-714 (left port),
and the other should be 566-715 (right port). For single-mode fiber, one
transceiver should be 566-716 (left port), and the other should be 566-717
(right port).
b. The fiber optic cable is properly connected, and the connections are clean.
c. The total attenuation and distance are within limits.
d. If all of the above conditions are met and the Fiber Fault LED is still
illuminated, then it may be necessary to test the link using an OTDR. OTDR
tests should be done using industry standard methods and industry standard
pass/fail criteria.
2. Verify that the switch configurations are properly set. If the switches are set improperly, the
modem may not be in the proper mode, and may not be capable of entering a degraded mode
or successfully report troubles to the connected equipment.
3. Verify that the wired connections are in the proper terminal block positions. For RUI and
Analog Audio (if used), be certain that the risers connect to the RUI and Riser positions and
not the x-link connections. The only time anything should be connected to the x-link
connections is in a Class A system between the head and tail-end modems.
Note: All wiring faults (shorts and opens) on a wired loop that is electrically isolated from the main panel by
fiber will always be reported as an open on the panel side of the loop. Modems report this way to
convey fault information back to the panel without causing a short circuit on the panel side of the loop.
LED Indications The Modem has LED indicators as shown in Table 13. Refer to Figure 2 for LED locations.

properly • The analog audio risers are connected to the proper terminal block positions.
• The phone riser IN is connected to the proper terminal block positions.
• The IDNet interface is wired to the proper terminal block positions.
• The IDNet address is properly set.
• The on-board IDNet TRIAM has been added to the programmer job and configured
properly (refer to “Programmer Configuration for Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board”
in this document for programmer configuration).
The IDNet LED can be used to troubleshoot IDNet communications (refer to the IDNet
TRIAM installation instructions).
Fiber Fault LED There are two severity levels for fiber faults. One level is a momentary fault that’s indicated by
the fiber fault LED for any data error on the fiber. In a properly operating fiber link,
momentary faults occur very rarely or never. If the fiber fault LED illuminates frequently (e.g.,
more than once in five minutes), then there may be a problem with the fiber link. The other
level of fault is a fiber trouble. In this case, troubles are reported at the panel and the fiber fault
LED illuminates much of the time or continuously; you definitely need to check out the fiber
link. The goal for any link during installation is to have no illumination of the modem’s fiber
fault LED.
Digital Audio Use the “DAR TX” LED to aid in diagnosing DAR faults. If the DAR LED is OFF, then the
Riser (DAR) DAR is in the receive mode. It remains in the receive mode if the DAR is not enabled or if the
modem is actively receiving a DAR on the wired connection. If the DAR LED is ON, then the
modem is actively transmitting a DAR on the wired connection. If the DAR LED turns ON and
OFF at a 2-second rate, then the modem is searching to find a DAR on the fiber and the wired
interface.
35
Testing and Troubleshooting, Continued
Analog Audio If the analog audio interface is not operating properly, verify the following:
1. The analog audio switches are properly set.
2. Use a good quality voltmeter to measure the riser’s RMS voltage on the panel side loop, and
then be re-measured on isolated loops to determine what modem pair could be causing a
fault. Any signal present on one side of a fiber connection should be present on the other.
3. The wired interface is connected to the proper terminal block positions.
4. The analog audio level select jumpers are properly set.
Note: A fault on the analog audio interface could result from a fault on a
separate-wired interface, and could be induced by a connected modem that’s indicating to the panel
that there is a fault on an isolated wired loop.
4120 Network If the network interface is not operating properly, verify the following:
1. The network switch settings are all properly configured.
2. The network connections are in the proper ports. A given network wire pair should always
enter either the left or right port of a modem, and leave via the mating modem’s opposite
port (for example, in on left, out on right, or vice versa).
3. The network interface LEDs operate in the same way as those found on a network interface
card; that is, the TX and RX LEDs illuminate only while data is actively being passed in
their respective directions.
RUI If the RUI interface is not operating properly, verify the following:
1. The RUI configuration switches are properly set.
2. The wired interface is connected to the proper terminal block positions.
Note: A fault on RUI interface could result from a fault on a separate-wired interface, and could be induced
by a connected modem that’s indicating to the panel that there is a fault on an isolated wired loop.
System Checkout A basic system checkout should always be performed on a new installation to verify that all
modems are properly configured. Do a basic checkout because a wrongly configured modem
could behave normally in normal mode, but not be capable of entering degraded mode or
reporting troubles to the panel. Basic tests include introducing shorts and open circuits on each

Configuration for modem, then the fiber, then a second fiber optic modem, and ends at a second Fiber Modem
Fiber Modem Phone Expansion Board.
Phone Expansion
Board In a Class A setup, one fiber phone link gets assigned the role of “Backup link”. This link is
OFF under normal conditions and turned ON to recover from a fiber fault on another link. All
other links are given a number (Link 1, Link 2, Link3, etc.). In a Class B setup, there is no
“Backup Link”.
The custom label for each TRIAM, Relay, and T-Sense should specify the link and the node/
transponder to which it belongs, for both programming and troubleshooting purposes. All
TRIAM T-Sense Point Types must be configured as “TROUBLE”.
Programmer configuration is shown in Figure A-25 through Figure A-33 for the four node
setup sample configurations illustrated in Figure A-7 (Class A) and Figure A-13 (Class B). Red

Programmer A list must be created on each node for each fiber phone link connected to that node. Each list
Configuration for contains two TRIAMs and two T-Senses monitoring the end of the fiber phone link for that list.
Fiber Modem On the two nodes adjacent to the backup link (Class A only), a third list must be created that
Phone Expansion contains all TRIAMs and T-Senses on the loop except the ones monitoring the backup link.
