•

An affidavit is required to be given to the telephone company
whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog
content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals
containing encoded analog content which are intended for
eventual conversion into voiceband analog signals and transmitted
on the network.
The affidavit shall affirm that either no encoded analog content or
billing information is being transmitted or that the output of the
device meets Part 68 encoded analog content or billing protection
specifications.
End user/customer will be responsible for filing an affidavit with

Chapter 1. General

LOOPBACK
The T1 CSU ACE supports four types of loopbacks. With the first two,
the unit loops the signal received from the network back to the network
and transmits an unframed all 1s pattern to the CPE. The signal
received from the CPE is ignored.
The first type of loopback, Manual Network Loopback (see Table 1), is
initiated by switching on the NET LB switch on the back of the unit. The
NET MAN LB LED will turn On and the loopback will continue until it
is switched off. See Figure 5 on page 26.
The second type of loopback, Network LB, is activated by sending the
unit a 1-in-5 pattern (10000) from the network side for five seconds. The
NET RMT LB LED will turn On until it is cleared by sending a 1-in-3
pattern (100) for five seconds. The patterns may be Unframed or
Framed (SF or ESF).
The third type of loopback, Manual Equipment Loopback
(see Table 1), is initiated by the Equip LB switch on the back of the unit.
It will continue until Equip LB is switched off. With the Equip LB, the
unit loops the signal received from the CPE equipment back to the CPE
equipment, and transmits an unframed all 1s pattern to the network.
The signal received from the network is ignored. The EQ MAN LB LED
will illuminate when the loopback is in progress. See Figure 5 on page
26.
The fourth type of loopback, Equipment Remote Loopback, is activated
by sending the unit a 1-in-5 pattern (10000) from the CPE side for five
seconds. The EQ RMT LB will illuminate until it is cleared by sending a
1-in-3 pattern (100) for five seconds. The patterns may be Unframed or
Framed (SF or ESF).

LINE BUILD OUT
The first five positions of the switch on the back of T1 CSU ACE selects
Line Build Out (LBO). See Figure 6. Separate LBOs set the transmit
levels for the network and CPE sides of the T1 CSU ACE. The
receivers on both sides of the CSU ACE contain Automatic Line
Build Out (ALBO) circuitry to compensate for loss.
On the Network side, the amount of attenuation in decibels (dB)
specified by the carrier can be selected as shown in Table 2 on page 27.
On the CPE side, the amount of attenuation is determined by the
maximum length of cable between the T1 CSU ACE and the CPE, as
shown in Table 3 on page 27.

WALLMOUNTING THE UNIT
The T1 CSU ACE may be installed in a wallmount or tabletop
configuration. The following section provides step-by-step instructions
for wallmounting the unit.

Instructions for Wallmounting
Step

Action

1.

Decide on a location for the T1 CSU ACE. Mount the unit
at or below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable.

2.

Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board
(typically plywood, 3/ 4" to 1" thick) to a wall stud, using 3”
wood screws.
Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using
sheetrock anchors may not provide sufficient long-term
stability.

3.

Install two #8 (1 1/ 2" or greater in length) wood screws
into the mounted board following these guidelines and
referring to Figure 7:
•

•
•

Screws should be spaced horizontally, approximately
5” apart. Find exact positioning by using the location
of the two eyed insets on the bottom of the unit as a
guide.
Screws should be horizontally level with each other.
Leave approximately 1/4” of the screws protruding
from the board to allow the heads of the screws to
slide into place in the unit’s keyed insets.

4.

Slide the keyed insets on the bottom of the T1 CSU ACE
chassis securely onto the screws.

5.

Proceed to the steps given in Powering the Unit on page
30.

POWERING THE UNIT
The unit may be powered by using the supplied NEC Class 2, 12V
wall mount power supply. It may also be locally powered by own 12
to 48 V power supply. Once power has been applied to the unit, the
POWER LED will be illuminated.
The unit can be powered by either of the following methods:

Method 1
•

Use the included NEC Class 2, 12V at 800 mA wall mount power
supply.

Note: The wall outlet shall be near the equipment and readily accessible.

OR
Method 2
•

Connect to a reliably-grounded 12-48 Vdc source which is electrically isolated from the AC source.

Note: The branch circuit overcurrent protection shall be a fuse or circuit
breaker rated 48 V, minimum to 10A, maximum.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably approved and rated,
shall be incorporated in the field wiring.
The unit shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of NEC
NFPA 70, where applicable.

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK AND CPE
Two 8-pin modular connectors are located on the back of the T1 CSU
ACE (see Figure 8 on page 32). NET connects the unit to the network
via the network cable. The connector marked CPE connects the cable
from the customer equipment to the T1 CSU ACE.

Chapter 2. Installation

Notify the carrier before connecting the T1 CSU ACE to the carrier network. Connect the T1 CSU ACE to the network demarcation before connecting to the CPE. Connector pin assignments for the Net RJ48C are
listed in Table 4. Connector pin assignments for the CPE 8-Pin modular
jack are listed in Table 5.

TEST AND MONITOR ACCESS
The six Bantam jacks located on the back of the T1 CSU ACE provide
test and monitor access for the network and equipment side of the
T1 CSU ACE. The diagram on the face of the unit shows each jack’s
function, as seen in Figure 8.

Figure 8. T1 CSU ACE Bantam Jacks

Monitor Jacks
The first two jacks are monitor jacks used for monitoring the circuit
while in service. NET MON monitors the signal received from the network. EQ MON monitors the signal received from the CPE.

The test set’s input impedance must be set for DSX-MON
when connected to the monitor jacks.

32

61203022L1-1B

Chapter 2. Installation

Break-and-Test Jacks
The other four jacks are break-and-test jacks used for out-of-service
testing. These jacks bypass the connections of the modular jacks. NET IN
and NET OUT are used to simulate the network input and output of the
T1 CSU ACE. To test the CPE, a T1 Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) test set can
be used to simulate the network. EQ IN and EQ OUT can be used to simulate the CPE with a BERT test set, allowing the network to be tested.
The T1 CSU ACE on the other end of the circuit can be looped back to
test only the network. Most BERT test sets have the ability to send LB enable and LB clear codes.

The test set’s input impedance must be set for TERM when
connected to the break-and-test jacks.

Troubleshooting and
Maintenance

Troubleshooting guidelines and maintenance information are provided in this chapter.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Power
Condition: PWR LED is not illuminated.
1.

If locally powered, verify the power cable installation.

2.

If the 12 V wall-mount power supply is used, check the supply’s
cable and the circuit breaker for the 120 V receptacle the supply is
plugged into.

Network LOS
Condition: NET LOS LED is illuminated.
1.

Verify that the cable from the network demarcation is in NET
modular jack on the bottom/end of the T1 CSU ACE.

2.

If all connections seem intact, the far end CSU ACE can be
looped back (using a BERT test set to send the LB code, or using
MANUAL LB at the other end) to isolate the problem to the far
end customer premises or the network.

3.

If the problem persists after the LB has been activated, the problem appears to be within the network or the far end CSU ACE. In
this case, notify the carrier.

4.

If the problem disappears after loop-up, then the cause must be
at the far end customer premises.
