Meridian 1
Introduction
Meridian 1 Communication Systems are a family of digital multiplex voice
and data switching systems built upon a foundation of state of the art digital
switching equipment and advanced software program control. Meridian 1
systems provide a wide range of sophisticated voice and data services for
both Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and Central Office (CO) applications
ranging in size from 30 to 60,000 ports.
A Meridian 1 Communication System is a single source solution to the
complex requirements of today’s business communications environment. In
a single, integrated system, it provides advanced voice features, local area
network communications, and sophisticated information services. A
comprehensive open architecture ensures continual growth in capacity and
the capability to address the ongoing needs of business communications and
information management.
The foundation for Meridian 1 Communication Systems is a voice and data
circuit-switched digital sub-system. It is comprised of a central processing
unit, memory store, and a digital switching network that uses time division
multiplexing and pulse code modulation techniques. Peripheral interfaces
are used to connect a wide array of telephones, trunks, and terminals.

Meridian 1 Communication Systems systems are also designed to
accommodate the rapidly expanding requirements for data communications.
Building upon the strength of the original SL-1 architecture, significant
system enhancements have been developed for data communications,
including:

Meridian Modular Telephones, a family of digital telephones that
utilize standard twisted pair wiring and support a wide range of data
communications options.
Meridian 1 LANSTAR, a 2.56 Mbps local area network (LAN) for
Macintosh II and IBM PC compatible computers.

The Meridian 1 commitment
Northern Telecom is committed to meet the needs of our customers by
providing systems which guarantee:
Continuing product compatibility
A high degree of component and system reliability
Cost effective, modular packaging
Advanced administration and maintenance capabilities
Ease of installation
Cost effective system expansion and upgrade

Product compatibility
All new products are compatible with the installed base of systems and can
be installed alongside existing equipment. For network enhanced Meridian
SL-1 systems, the upgrade consists of adding X11 release 15 software with
a new CPU ROM pack, Superloop Network cards in existing network slots,
and one or more Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Modules. For nonnetwork/GE enhanced Meridian SL-1 systems, an upgrade package is also
available. For more information about extending existing systems, see
Extended systems installation (553-3001-250).
In addition, Meridian 1 systems now utilize the DS-30 signalling method
used by other Northern Telecom switching products, providing a common
signalling scheme throughout the Meridian 1 family and allowing for
system growth beyond 10,000 ports without requiring a change in peripheral
equipment.

System reliability
Meridian 1 systems are designed and built to meet the highest standards for
reliability, resulting in less downtime and increased system availability. In
most systems, critical system elements are duplicated to guarantee system
reliability. There are two identical Central Processing Unit (CPU) and
memory circuits in most system configurations, and both CPUs can access
both memory circuits. If one CPU or memory circuit fails, the system
automatically switches to the standby CPU or memory circuit without
disrupting call processing.

Modular equipment packaging
Meridian 1 hardware is housed in modular equipment cabinets that are
common to all system elements. These cabinets are called Universal
Equipment Modules (UEM). Each UEM has removable front and rear
covers with locking latches for easy access to its contents.
UEMs are stacked one on top of another to form a column. Each column
may contain up to four UEMs. Systems are comprised of one or more
columns. An Expansion Kit is provided to interconnect the columns in a
multi-column system for compliance with FCC standards for EMI/RFI. At
the base of each column of UEMs is the pedestal The pedestal houses
cooling fans, air filters, a power distribution assembly (including the circuit
breakers and power switches) and a System Monitor circuit. At the top ofeach column is a Top Cap assembly which consists of two air exhaust
grilles and a thermal sensor assembly.

Advanced administration & maintenance
An important feature common to all Meridian 1 systems is an advanced
administration and maintenance system. Administration and maintenance
functions can be performed locally or at a remote location. These functions
include service change, reassignment of features, and additions or deletions
of equipment. Meridian 1 systems also provide an automatic in-line
conversion feature which significantly simplifies upgrades of Xl 1 software.
Reconfiguration of system data structures occurs during system reload.
A System Monitor circuit card controls and monitors the status of all powerrelated hardware and functions, including column thermal status, power
supply operation, blower operation, power fail transfer, circuit breakers,
external rectifiers, batteries, and Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
systems. The same system monitor is used for AC and DC powered

4 Meridian 1

systems. A System Monitor is installed in.the pedestal of each column.
The System Monitor located in the column containing CPU0 acts as the
master system monitor; monitors located in other columns act as slaves.
The master polls the slaves and reports their status to the CPU. The master
System Monitor is connected to the CPU by an RS232C port located on an
SD1 card. Slave System Monitors are connected to the master in a daisy
chain fashion with an 8-conductor RJ type connector.
System messages reported to the CPU by the System Monitor are output to
the system terminal. System messages include the following types of
information: status or fault indication, hardware type, column number,
module number and power supply unit number.
Maintenance and traffic messages are also output to the system terminal.
Maintenance messages indicate the results of diagnostic routines and alert
maintenance personnel to fault conditions. Traffic messages indicate the
load on different areas of the system and the associated grade of service.,
Meridian 1 systems feature an advanced background diagnostic program
which reports system status and identifies detected faults. The program
automatically restarts where it stopped, following an interruption.
Diagnostic routines may also be initiated by maintenance personnel as
required.

_

A new series of circuit cards contain microprocessors which offload
processing functions previously performed by the CPU. The on-board
microprocessors significantly increase circuit card and system diagnostic
capabilities, resulting in improved maintainability. Where possible,
hardware switch selection has been replaced with software-controlled
selection of circuit card options. The on-board microprocessors also allow
for circuit card parameters to be changed without requiring hardware
revisions. Parameters are stored on the system disk drive unit, and are
downloaded to the circuit card at system reload or upon user command.
The new cards also make use of on-board intelligence by reporting their
product code, serial number, release number and manufacture location,
assisting maintenance and inventory control.

Ease of installation
Every Meridian 1 system is shipped from the factory assembled and
equipped to order. Installation effort is reduced to unpacking and
positioning equipment, plugging in connectorized cables, ‘and adding
customer-specific programming where required.

Ease of expansion
The modular packaging scheme employed by the Meridian 1 family of
products accommodates growth by permitting easy expansion. System
expansion simply requires adding one or more UEMs. The modular
packaging scheme also provides for low cost, easy expansion from one
system type to another. For example, the card cage assembly of a UEM
containing CPU equipment for a small system may be removed and
replaced with the CPU card cage assembly designed for larger systems. I n
addition, peripheral equipment, which is the bulk of the system investment,
is common to all system types and may be retained when expandi&

Advanced features
By providing service capabilities defined by software, which can be
expanded as needs evolve, Meridian 1 systems offer advanced features and
capabilities in an economical, flexible, and maintainable form. In addition.to a wide range of standard voice and data services, Meridian 1 systems also
provide a number of sophisticated communications services and features,
including:
- Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
- Electronic Switched Network (ESN)
- Call Detail Recording (CDR)
- Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
- Meridian Mail Voice Messaging

ACD
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is used when a large volume of
incoming calls must be answered by a group of telephones allocated for this
purpose. Incoming calls are served on a first-in, first-out basis and are
distributed among the available telephones. For more information on ACD,
refer to Northern Telecom Publication Automatic Call Distribution Basic
features description (553-2671-100).

System architecture
Meridian 1 modular architecture
An important characteristic of Meridian 1 systems is a modular system
architecture. It utilizes an efficient and flexible approach, employing
modular construction in all areas of hardware and software, and state-of-theart commercial and custom components. The result is a system which is
highly flexible in terms of operational, maintenance, and administrative
characteristics. As demands dictate, any module may be enhanced,
singularly or in combination with other modules. Each system is organized
around three functional areas: Control, Switching, and Peripherals.

Control
The Control complex provides the sequences required by the system to
process voice and data call connections, monitor call activity, and perform
system administration, maintenance, and testing. It is composed of two
elements: the central processing unit (CPU) which directs lower level
subsystems in the hierarchy, and the system memory which stores the
operating programs.

Switching
The switching function is performed by the network equipment, which
interconnects terminal devices for communication with each other. The
network architecture is based on the concept of a digital multiplexed loop.
A loop is a bidirectional path between Network and terminal device which
transmits voice, data and signalling information.

10 System architecture

Peripherals
Peripheral equipment provides the analog and digital interfaces for all
peripheral devices, and performs analog to digital conversion of all input
signals before switching is performed by the Network. Additionally,
Peripheral equipment circuits provide the supervisory and transmission
functions needed for trunks connected to the external telecommunications
network.
Meridian 1 systems use a star topology for connecting peripheral devices to
the switching equipment, an approach which permits uniform distributed
wiring methods. This approach provides significant benefits in the area of
administration, installation, maintenance and reliability.

Software architecture
The adaptability of software control provides a complete array of services
and features tailored to meet changing requirements.
Call processing, maintenance and administration of Meridian 1 systems are
controlled by software programs stored either as firmware programs, as
software programs resident in system memory, or as non-resident programs
on disk. The information which describes system configuration and
associated peripheral equipment is termed office data. This data resides in
the system memory and on disk.

These are fundamental programs consisting of hard-wired logic instructions
stored in Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) which manipulate
data in the central processor and control input/output operations, error
diagnostic and recovery routines.

Software
Software programs consist of instruction sequences that control call
processing, peripheral equipment, administration and maintenance
functions. These sequences are interpreted by the fiiware programs into
machine instructions. Several generic software programs with optional
feature packages are available to satisfy varying requirements.

Office Data
The office data describes the characteristics of the system in terms of
configuration and call dependent information such as features and services.
Office data is arranged into blocks defining peripheral equipment, system
configuration and transient data. These data blocks permit configuration of
Meridian 1 systems to specific customer needs.

Resident Programs
Resident Programs are programs always available in memory during system
operation. Firmware programs control other resident programs and provide
all CPU arithmetic operations. The other resident programs are those which
are automatically loaded into the system memory from the disk drive at
system power-up. Once loaded, these programs remain in memory.

Non-Resident Programs
Non-Resident Programs are the overlay programs stored on disk which are
loaded into the “overlay area” of system memory when required to perform
specific tasks. Only one overlay program may be loaded at a time and is
removed from the overlay area when no longer required. Overlay programs
can be loaded automatically, under program control, or manually, via an
administrative terminal.
Once the user has logged into the system, commands for specific overlay
programs are processed by the overlay loader program. When loaded, the
overlay program assumes control. Only one administrative terminal can
input into the overlay arca at a time. More than one device, however, can
System overview 553-3001-l 00

12 System architecture

receive output simultaneously. A terminal may be configured as an input
only or output only device.
Overlay programs provide the system interface for maintenance, service
change, and traffic measurement. Each overlay program is independent and
has its own specific set of commands and formats. Overlay programs may
be run concurrently with normal call processing without interfering with
system traffic. There are five main categories of overlay programs:
Service Change and Print Routines
Service changes do not generally require hardware intervention. Instead,
the service administration programs are used to create or modify all aspects
of the system from individual feature key assignments to complete system
configurations. There are also programs and print routines for retrieving the
data from the system to check the status of office data assignments.
Maintenance Diagnostics
These programs are the primary instruments for maintenance purposes.
Individual programs are used for automatically or manually testing the CE
and PE. The programs may be loaded into the overlay area at the request of
maintenance personnel, or as part of a daily maintenance routine
automatically initiated by the system at a specified time. In addition,
background and signaling diagnostic routines can occupy the overlay area
when it is not in use.
Traffic
All systems are equipped with traffic data accumulation programs. There is
also a resident traffic print program which examines the schedules, transfers
data from accumulating to holding registers in accordance with schedules,
and prints the traffic data. In addition, there is a traffic overlay program
which is used to query and modify schedules, options, and thresholds.
Equipment Data Dump
After making service changes, the changes must be transferred to disk in
order to save them. When the equipment data dump program is invoked, all
the office data in the read/write memory is written to the system disk. The
data dump program is also used to install a new generic version or issue and
capture protected data store information which may be changed by the user,
such as speed call lists. The program may be invoked automatically during
System

System architecture 13

a midnight routine or on a conditional basis (i. e. , data dump only occurs
if a software service change has been made). It may also be invoked
manually via the input/output (I/O) interface to the system.
Software Audit
This program monitors system operation and gives an indication of the
general state of the system operation. The program is concerned mainly
with the system software. When a software problem is encountered, the
program attempts to clear the problem automatically.

Hardware architecture
Each Meridian 1 system is composed of the following hardware
subsystems:
- Common equipment (CE): Provides the device control, software
execution, and memory functions of the system.
- Network equipment (NET): Performs the switching function under
CPU control.
- Peripheral equipment (PE): Provides the interface for line and trunk
circuits.
- Terminal equipment: Telephone sets and attendant consoles.
- Power equipment Provides the electrical voltages required to operate
equipment.

Common equipment
Common Equipment (CE) consists of one or more Central Processing Units
(CPUs), memory circuits, and mass storage devices which control the
operation of the system. The CE communicates over a common control bus
which carries a constant flow of program instructions and data under direct
control of the CPU. The digitized speech signals follow a separate path on a
network switching bus which allows communications links to be established
between any of the peripheral devices.
- The Central Processing Unit (CPU) provides the computing power
essential for entire system operation.

14 System architecture

- The system memory stores all operating software programs and data

unique to the particular Meridian 1 system, including switching
sequences, features, class of service information, and quantity and types
of terminals.
- The Mass Storage Unit provides high speed loading of the operating
programs and data into memory.
- The Digital Service Circuits provide functions such as dial and ringing
tones, and call conferencing capabilities.
- The Serial Data Interface (SDI) provides a RS232C communications
link for administration and maintenance on either a local or remote
basis.
- The Network Circuit Cards provide a digital matrix for circuit-switched
connections to associated peripheral devices.
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The CPU performs the control and switching sequences required by the
system. The software that directs these functions is loaded into the system
memory from the mass storage unit by the CPU. Information flows
between the CPU, I/O devices, and the system memory over the CPU bus.
The data required by the CPU to perform its control and switching functions
is held during system operation in Random Access Memory (RAM) and fed
to the CPU via the CPU bus. The operating data is loaded into the RAM
from floppy diskettes on system power-up.
The CPU function is performed by circuit cards which include Read-OnlyMemory fiiware that contains fault clearing programs and instructions to
control the loading of system memory from the mass storage unit.
Meridian 1 systems incorporate a CPU design that is identical for most
system options.
- 24-bit data words plus l-bit parity
- 24-bit linear addressing that permits memory allocation to be assigned
on a contiguous basis instead of the 64K pages partitioning referenced
above
- 16M words - subdivided for up to 12M words of physical memory
space and a remainder of 4M words for I/O spaces
System overview 553-3001-100

System architecture 15

- asynchronous (handshake) bus operation

- 16 file registers used to hold address and data for all operations
- a sense (interrupt) input line to indicate that a particular device (tape,
TTY, PE) requires action by the CPU
- a trap facility which, when activated by an external signal, causes the
CPU to immediately begin executing instructions starting at a particular
address; this facility is used to enter a recovery routine when a fault is
detected
Mass Storage Unit

A mass storage unit equipped with two floppy diskettes and/or a Winchester
hard disk is used for high speed loading of the resident operating programs
and office data into system memory. The loading process is controlled by
instructions held in the Read-Only-Memory (ROM) fiiware. When
loading is complete, the diskettes remain in the mass storage unit to provide
a non-volatile store for automatic loading purposes in the event of software
being erased from memory during a power failure. Non-resident software is
loaded from the disk automatically or by manual request when required.
The Mass Storage Interface (MSI) card is designed to interface with
external devices that are compatible with the Small Computer System
Interface (SCSI). This storage capability is provided by the following
hardware configurations:

.._

- NT8D68AA Floppy Disk Unit: two 3.5” 1.2 Mbyte floppy disk drives
(providing 2.4 Mbytes of formatted capacity) as a standard system
offering,
- NTSD69 AA Multi Disk Unit: a Winchester Hard Disk with 10 Mbytes
of formatted capacity. When this option is equipped, the floppy disks
are used for backup and system loading.

System overview 553-3001-100

C.

16 System architecture

Both types of Mass Storage Unit (MSU) are compatible with any Meridian
1 system running Software Generic Xl 1 Release 8 or later. The upgrade
procedure involves replacing the Magnetic Tape Transport and associated
tape interface with the desired Mass Storage Unit and equivalent Mass
Storage Interface card (MSI) or Floppy Disk Interface (FDI) card. The
Mass Storage Unit requires the identical space required for the magnetic
tape unit, See Disk drive upgrade procedures (553-3001-251) for more
information about disk drive upgrades.
Input / Output (I/O) llnterfaces
There are various methods of communicating with Meridian 1 systems. A
family of Serial Data Interface (SDI) circuit cards provides from one to four
communication channels which conform to EIA Data Interchange Standard
RS-232-C. I/O addressing is under switch control of the SD1 card and
allows up to 16 RS-232-C compatible devices, such as a terminals, to
communicate with the system. The devices are used to input commands
and/or receive responses from the system during administration and
maintenance procedures.
Memory
Firmware, software, and data are stored in a read/write Random Access
Memory (RAM). The memory is a critical part of the stored program
control system. It contains the memory stores of all of the basic operating
instructions for the system, plus data on the configuration of the particular
application being served. Memory utilization is dependent upon what
features are programmed into the system and the number of peripheral
terminations being served. The memory is split into four segments to
facilitate processor address purposes and permit a functional separation of
programs.
- Unprotected Data Store (LIDS): These pages hold the transient or

unprotected data that is required during call processing. Included are
the timing queues and call registers.
- Protected Data Store (PDS) : This protected data store holds the office
data blocks that are particular to specific installations.
- Program Store (PS): Allocations within the Program Store are as
follows:

Firmware - This portion of the memory is a non-volatile Read
Only Memory (ROM) used for storage of all system fiiware.
The ROM is programmed during manufacture and the instructions
are permanent and indestructible. It stores the basic rules of
operation necessary to initialize the system and bring it into a
working state. A recovery or “trap sequence” is included in
fiiware which is automatically invoked in response to power-on,
system reset, or when certain faults are detected.

Network equipment
Network equipment consists of network circuit cards which perform the
digital switching of voice and data signals, peripheral signalling cards which
perform scanning and signal distribution. , and service circuit cards, such as
tone and digit switches, which provide call progress tones and outpulsing as
instructed by the CPU. Network circuits employ Pulse Code Modulation
(PCM) and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to perform the switching
function.
Loops and Superloops
Network equipment interfaces with peripheral equipment via digital
multiplexed loops. A loop is a bidirectional path between Network
equipment (NET) and Peripheral equipment (PE) for voice, data and
signalling information. Upon commands from the CE, the network
establishes a path, linking a specific input to a specific output.

18 System architecture

Meridian 1 systems provide two network circuit cards, the QPC414
Network Card which provides 2 loops per card, and the NT8DO4AA
Superloop Network Card which provides 4 loops per card, grouped together
in an entity called a Superloop. The Superloop permits all 120 ‘timeslots
provided by the network card to be shared among the peripheral devices
served by the superloop, providing higher traffic capacity and simplified
traffic engineering.
The flexibility of the network loop plays an important role in the Meridian 1
architecture. Besides the ability to increase circuit-switched bandwidth on
an incremental card basis for cost-effective growth, application may be
varied for value added services. The network structure allows for the full
connectivity of all devices irrespective of how they connect to the system.
The network loop is a key element in the implementation of Computer to
PBX Interface (CPI) and Digital Trunk Interface (DTI). CPI provides an
integrated interface for connecting large numbers of host computer ports via
24 channels each supporting up to 19. 2 kbps for asynchronous data or up
to 56 kbps for synchronous data. DTI provides a digital link of 24 channels
each of which may be flexibly allocated for both voice and data
communications. Both CPI and DTI use the North American T-l standard
(DS-1 format) and each equipped link is assigned an associated network
loop.
Network organization
Network loops are organized into groups. Systems are configured as half,
full, or multiple group machines. A half network group machine provides a
up to 16 loops, a full group system provides from 17 to 32 loops, while a
multiple group system provides from 33 to 160 loops.
For applications beyond the traffic handling capability of the single network
group, additional switching stages are introduced to form a multi-group
arrangement. These connecting paths , provided by the InterGroup Module,
are merely an extension of the originating and terminating network loop
involved in a call. There are eight one way junctors from each group to all
others. Since each path provides thirty connecting channels, a total of 480
connection paths exist from one group to another - 240 in each direction.
Five network groups may be interconnected to constitute a fully configured
digital switching matrix.

Network/Peripheral configuration
The allocation of peripheral equipment to the network loop determines the
traffic handling capability of the switching network. The lower the number
of terminations, the higher the loop traffic capacity. The quantity and type
of terminal assignments are allocated to optimize the traffic handling
capabilities of the switching network.
A universal PE bus structure permits any mix of PE card types to be located
in a PE module. Provisioning of PE cards and their associated density
(number of ports) determines the network loop to PE module configuration.
Complete modularity permits voice and data modules to be segregated so
that the specific traffic patterns of one may be met without impeding the
other.
Enhanced Network Configurations
For peripheral equipment housed in NT8D13 PE modules, network capacity
may be allocated in single lcop mode and dual loop mode. In single-loop
mode, one peripheral equipment module is connected to one network loop,
yielding a maximum concentration of 160 terminations to 30 time slots. In
dual loop mode, half of the PE cards in a module use one loop, and the other
half use another loop, yielding two maximum concentrations of 80
terminations to 30 time slots.

Superloop Network Configurations
The Superloop Network Card combines four regular network loops to make
120 timeslots available to PE cards housed in Intelligent Peripheral
Equipment Modules. This increased bandwiath and larger pool of timeslots
increases the network traffic capacity by 25% for each 120 timeslot bundle.
The NT8D37 Intelligent PE Module is divided into segments of 4 card slots.
These segments are numbered O-3. Segment 0 consists of PE slots O-3,
segment 1 consists of card slots 4-7, segment 2 consists of card slots 8-11,
and segment 3 consists of card slots 12-15.
A Superloop may be assigned from one to eight Intelligent PE segments. A
number of different superloop to segment configurations are possible. The
configuration chosen will depend upon system traffic requirements and the
specific PE cards used. Figures 4 through 9 illustrate different superloop to
segment configurations. Note that the TN to Timeslot concentration figures
(figure 3) are nominal, and may vary from segment to segment.

Peripheral Equipment
Peripheral Equipment consists of peripheral controller cards which provide
the timing and control sequences for peripheral circuits, analog and digital
line and trunk cards, which provide the interfaces for terminal devices, and
circuit cards which provide Digital Trunk Interface (DTI),and Primary Rate
Access (PRA) services.
The peripheral controller performs the first stage of multiplexing signals
from the terminals, which are then passed on to the network for digital
switching. The peripheral controller also transmits timing signals, and
carries out other functions associated with the control of the peripheral
circuits.
The line card converts incoming analog signals into digital signals which
are then passed on to the peripheral controller. This conversion is
accomplished by an integrated encoder/decoder (codec) chip. There is a
codec for each port on the line card. Conversion from digital back to analog
is also performed by the codec for outgoing signals. For digital telephones,
the codec is located within the telephone set itself.
PCM

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is used to convert analog signals to digital
signals. The PCM method converts the analog signal to digital by samplin.g
the amplitude of the analog signal at a rate of twice the highest signal
frequency and converting the amplitude of each sample into a series of
coded pulses. The PCM sampling frequency standard for
telecommunications is 8 kHz.
Companding (compressing - expanding) PCM is a standard technique for
using 8 bits words to efficiently represent the wide dynamic range of voice
and data signals. Two standards for companding are internationally
recognized:
Mu-255 law for North American applications
A-law for international service
Meridian 1 codecs conform to both standards and are software selectable (in
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Modules) for use in North America and
internationally. The codecs are also designed to pass signals up to 3.4 kHz

System overview 553-3001-100

..

32 System architecture
with minimum time delay and low phase distort&, a requirement for the
proper transmission of data signals.
Remote Peripheral Equipment (RPE)
In a local operating environment, the peripheral equipment may be housed
up to 50 feet from the common equipment. The RPE feature extends this
range to approximately 70 miles between local and remote facilities. This
extension is made possible by converting the multiplexed loop signals to a
form compatible with the commonly used T-l type digital transmission
system.
Any medium conforming to DS-1 format (1.544 Mbps) may be used to link
local and remote sites, including digital microwave radio and fiber optic
transmission systems.
DTVPRI
Allocation of circuit-switched bandwidth may also be made on a networkloop basis to Primary Rate Access (PRA) or Digital Trunk Interface (DTI)
circuits. These optional services are based on the standard T-l format
(DS-1 24 channel) used in digital transmission networks.
DTI allows for the replacement of 24 conventional analog trunks by a single
T-l digital link. Each of 24 channels provides up to 56 Kbps for voice and
synchronous data transmission, or up to 19.2 Kbps for asynchronous data.

Power equipment
Meridian 1 systems feature a modular power distribution architecture which
parallels the modular design concept of the Universal Equipment Module.
Meridian 1 power systems provide the following features:
- AC-powered and DC-powered system options, providing flexibility to
meet a wide range of customer requirements.
- A distributed, modular power architecture, with power supplies located
in each Module, rather than in separate, centralized power shelves.
- All DC systems are available as complete systems, with rectifiers
provided by Northern Telecom, or can be equipped for customerprovided external power.

- A new System Monitor has been designed to provide enhanced power,
cooling, and general system monitoring capabilities. This new System
Monitor interfaces to the CPU via a Serial Data Interface card, for
intelligent error and status reporting.
- Maintenance messages that indicate the location of power faults and
status down to the specific Column and Module.
- Equipment modules that are truly Universal, in terms of power and
cooling. Meridian 1 systems are designed to eliminate power and
thermal limitations: any card can go in any slot, and all modules can be
filled to capacity with any logically valid combination of cards, with
virtually no engineering rules.
- A universal quick-connect power wiring harness is used to distribute
input voltages and monitor signals to power supplies located in each
Module.
.- An advanced cooling system which employs forced air impellers. The
velocity of the impellers is automatically adjusted to meet the cooling
requirements of the system.
- Fuses are eliminated, as the system exclusively uses circuit breakers for
input power protection.
- Modular backup capabilities.
AC and DC systems differ primarily in the power components external to
the UEM. See Figures 8 and 9 for block diagrams of the AC and DC
powering schemes. DC systems always require the use of rectifiers. This
can be a disadvantage in applications that do not require reserve power
backup in the event of a utility power failure. The use of a rectifier in DC
powering is an advantage in applications that do require battery backup,
since all that is needed is to add batteries, as in the traditional central office
powering scheme.
AC-powered systems are especially well-suited for those applications that
do not require reserve power, as there are no external power components
required. There are a wide variety of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
systems available for AC systems that require reserve power, and the use of
a UPS is an effective method of providing backup power in many situations.

Universal Equipment Modules
The Meridian 1 System is comprised of Universal Equipment Modules
(UEMs), each containing everything needed (card cage assembly, power
supply, I/O cabling, etc) to support a specific system function. These UEMs
are assembled up to four high on a pedestal, to form a column. The pedestal
contains a central Power Distribution Unit (PDU), cooling fans, air filters,
and a System Monitor circuit. At the top of each column is a Top Cap,
which consists of two air exhaust grilles and a thermal sensor assembly that
works in conjunction with the System Monitor. Systems are comprised of
one or more columns. Each Universal Equipment Module is available in

Peripheral Equipment module (NT8D13)
The Peripheral Equipment module uses the PE circuit cards currently
housed in PE shelves for the Meridian SL-1 systems. It provides the
interface to the system for trunks and stations. The NT8D13 module may
only be connected to an ENET (QPC414) circuit card and maybe used in
system options 21A, 21,51,61,71 and the Meridian SL-IXT, NT, RT, ST,
N, and XN systems. It houses one Peripheral Buffer circuit card (QPC659)
and up to ten existing peripheral equipment circuit cards.
When the Meridian Data Service ADM, SADM, ASIM or AIM are required
on system options 21A, 21,51,61, and 71, the NT8D13 PE module must be
used.
For configuration flexibility the NT8D13 Peripheral Equipment module is
available with an AC power supply option or a DC power supply option.
These power supplies provide the voltages to operate the circuit cards
located in the Modules.
All cable connections to the MDF are made in the rear of the module
through an I/O panel. Seven PE cables are required to the MDF for all 10
card slots.

Preface
Notice
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to
be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.
The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a
single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified ._
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give

About this document
This section of the Planning and engineering guide deals with planning the
environment that the SL-1 (Option 21,51,61, and 71) system will inhabit,
including equipment location, commercial power requirements (AC and
DC), grounding, and cabling requirements. Most of the considerations for
site planning and installation are common for both AC- and DC-powered
systems. Where there are differences, these are noted in the applicable
sections. The information is intended to assist with the site selection, site
planning, and installation planning process.

The Milestone chart

-

Planning and monitoring site preparation activites is easier when you use a
Milestone chart. The Milestone chart is a site planning schedule. It shows
the sequence of activities necessary to complete a job and will be different
with each site. Depending on the complexity of the site, the chart may be
more detailed with scheduled due dates for each activity group.
When preparing your Milestone chart, consider not only the individual
operations, but the overall installation schedule. A Milestone chart may
show the necessary operations in order and may assign a start date and end
date for each.
Remember to obtain the appropriate sign-offs when the site is ready for
delivery and installation of the equipment. Sign-offs may include
regulatory items such as electrical and air conditioning inspections and the
approval of the cable plan.
Table 3 lists typical activities that should be included in the Milestone chart.
Your chart may differ from this one.
The first Milestone prior to delivery should be used to prepare specifications
and drawings, request bids, order equipment related to the site preparation,
and begin renovations or construction of the equipment room.

Researching the requirements
Knowing the requirements for system installation saves valuable time and
energy when the time comes for system delivery. The first step in planning
a site, then, is researching those requirements. The purpose of this section
is to define the general requirements necessary to plan and develop the site
before system installation.

General requirements
The following general requirements must be considered (in addition to local
and national building and electrical codes) when planning the installation of
an SL-1 system:
- Equipment room environment (including preliminary floor plan and
system layout)
- Power and grounding requirements
- Cabling requirements (including guidelines for ordering correct cable
lengths)
- Fire protection (including location of sprinkler heads) and safety
precautions

20 Researching the requirements

Commercial power conditi6ning
If the quality of the commercial power source continuously meets the SL-1
system requirements listed in this section, a power conditioner is not
required, however, where the commercial power is of poor quality and
cannot consistently meet the SL-1 system requirements, a powerconditioner
may provide some improvement.

k$?j
L; :.cT;.:.x-<

Note:

When using power conditioning equipment, simply install the
equipment in series with the commercial power feed. Do not modify
the SL-1 system grounding scheme.

Grounding
Essential to trouble-free system operation and the safety of personnel is the
employment of proper grounding. The SL-1 system has several different
grounds and signal returns that are generally referred to as grounds: logic
return (for DC systems), AC “green wire” ground (in AC systems), and the
personal hazard equipment ground.
The SL-1 system does not, by design, need an AC isolated ground (IG)
system (though this may be required by local codes), but it does need a
single point ground system. This means that each of the various grounds
from each of the columns should terminate at a single connection point
--before attaching to the actual ground reference at the main AC panel or
transformer. The single point ground may be implemented either by use of
the isolated ground bus in the AC panel, or by a separate logic return
equalizing bus for battery returns and logic returns where a non-isolated AC
system is used.
The SL-1 system power must originate from the supply service (main AC
panel or transformer) where the ground conductor and the neutral conductor
connect and are referenced to the main building ground (MGM). Cold
water pipes and ground rods should only be used to improve the ground
reference of the building’s main service panel. Do not use the MGM as the
ground reference for the SL- 1 system.
The DC resistance of the system ground conductor, which runs from the
SL-1 to the main building ground, should be as close to zero as possible
with the maximum total resistance on all runs within the building not to
exceed 0.5 ohms.

Failure to follow the~grounding proceduresmay result in an installation that
is:
- unsafe for personnel working on or using the equipment
- not protected horn lightning or power transients
- subject to service interruptions

.

-

- subject to degraded system performance

Commercial power and grounding requirements
The commercial power source refers to the main AC utility power feed, for
either AC-powered or DC-powered systems. For AC systems, this power is
wired directly to the system. For DC systems, this power source connects to
the rectifiers which convert to -48 V dc for distribution to the system.
In North America, the power supplied can be either 208Y or 240 V ac
nominal. Three phase is not required by single power feeds fromalternate
phases is normal practice where three phase power is available. Refer to
Table 8 for the exact voltage range.

Building ground requirements
Although the SL- 1 system (by design) does not require an isolated AC
--ground system, the NEC does. For this reason Northern Telecom
recommends the use of an isolated AC ground system. Non-isolated ground
systems are acceptable only where not required by a national code.
This system does not need an isolated AC ground system, but it does need a
single point ground system. Single point ground may be implemented
either by the use of an Isolated Ground (IG) bus in the AC panel to
terminate all AC grounds and other ground reference conductors, or by a
separate logic return equalizer (LRE) ground bus for system ground and
logic returns where a non-isolated AC system is used.
No&: Where required, Northern Telecom will provide an LRE with
each system delivery. Multi-column systems require the use of an
LRR.

installation planning 553-3001-120

22 Researching the requirements

Isolated ground topology
A dedicated Isolated Ground (IG) bus bar is required with this method.
This IG bus is located in the AC panel and serves as the ground window. It
is used for all AC (green wire) grounds as well as logic returns. It also
accommodates a conductor which references to the (+) battery bus in a DC
system. An alternate form of this isolated topology is to use one or more
isolated equalizing bars external to the AC panel but which connects to
ground exclusively by means of the AC IG bus.
Isolated orange outlets are required (as per NEC 250-74 Exception 4).
Grounding conductors shall be routed with the phase conductors (Article
300-20). All ground wiring-for IG receptacles are to be terminated on the
dedicated IG bus per applicable codes (complies with NEC 384-27).
Non-isolated ground topology
In a non-isolated system the AC equipment ground (ACEG) connects to the
metal panel, and the associated conduit may also contact various structural
metal. This ground alone is not adequate for the SL-1 system, but a
dedicated ground conductor which connects to the main building ground is
then used for the main ground window to terminate logic returns and
reference the (+) battery bus. Frame grounds will connect to the ACEG.

Grounding guidelines

---

The following must be observed to implement the single-point ground:
- All ground conductors must be identified in accordance with local
codes and terminated in a manner that is permanent, resulting in low
impedance connections.
- Terminations should be accessible for inspection and maintenance
during the life of the installation.
- All grounding conductors must be continuous with no splices or
junctions and tagged, “DO not remove or disconnect.”
They should also be insulated against contact with foreign grounds.
- Grounding conductors must be no-load, noncurrent carrying cables
under normal operating conditions.

Installation planning 553-3001-120

.rX

Researching the requirements 23

- In a steel-framed building, the SL-1 ground interface must have a

connecting reference to the building steel on the same floor on which it
resides (or within one floor).
Note: Northern Telecom does not recommend the use of building steel
as part of the SL-1 ground system. Proper wire sizing of the System Ground Reference conductor ensures
compliance with this requirement provided the building ground has been
properly installed as per NEC rules and regulations and the associated CEC
regulations.
Using an Isolated Ground bus is often a lower cost method but may not be
allowed by all telcos and may be prohibited by local ordinances.
Note: All voice and data lines leaving or entering the SL-1 system
(which run external to the building) must have fault protectors that
connect directly to earth ground. Fault protectors provide E&lI/RFI
protection outside of the SL-1 system.

AC service panel
Dedicated versus shared power
Dedicated AC power transformers are preferred; however, a shared
transformer or distribution is acceptable.

---

The following figures identify the differences between dedicated and shared
distribution and between isolated and non-isolated grounds:

Auxiliary power requirements
Integrated terminals, printers, modems, and data units require local power.
Power for devices located in the equipment room must meet the following
criteria:
- wired and fused independently of all other receptacles
- tagged at the power panel to prevent unauthorized interruption of power
- not controlled by a switch
- referenced to the same building interface point on the building system
ground as the SL-1 AC panel ground
Isolated service receptacles
For isolated ground systems, the auxiliary power receptacles used should be
12OV, 6OHz, 15A, individually fused, isolated ground circuits terminating
on NEMA non-locking type IG 5-15 such as Hubbell, Cat. No. IG-5262,2Pole, 3-Wire, orange duplex receptacles. A green conductor must be used
for extending the safety ground and must be wired according to the isolated
ground specifications.
Note:

This requirement is based on safety concerns and exceeds
NRC/CRC requirements.

Non-isolated service receptacles
For non-isolated ground systems, the auxiliary power receptacles used
should be 12OV, 6OHz, 15A, individually fused circuits terminating on
NEMA non-locking type 5-15.
In non-isolated ground systems auxiliary equipment which connects to the
SL-1 system should be isolated through the use of fiber optic signal cables
such as RS-232-C. Failure to provide this isolation will defeat the single
point ground.
Power Fail Transfer Unit (PFTU) powering
The PFIXJ, when used with AC systems, operates with a separate 120 V ac
to 48 V dc power supply. If the AC system is not backed-up (for example,
when no UPS is present), the PFIU power supply requires a separate and
dedicated auxiliary power outlet. Power to the PFTU is terminated when
the system power goes down and vice versa.

CabHng
This section identifies the various cabling used in the SL-1 system and
provides some guidelines for cabling. Equipment placement in relation to
cable lengths should be considered and planned for. Depending on your
system and future expansion (of PE modules, for example), the cables you
choose must be the right length.
Cable types
All cables must be designated (tagged) at both ends. The SL-1 uses at least
five types of wiring:
- Twisted-Pair Telephone Cables
- 25-Pair MDF Cables
- Twisted-Pair Shielded and Non-Shielded Cables
- Interface (I/O) Cables

- Power and Ground Cables
Twisted-pair telephone cables
These cables carry analog voice and digitized voice/data information
between distribution frames and devices located throughout the office.
They run from cross-connect panels to jacks (8-pin modular) located within
8 feet (2.4 m) of each peripheral device.
2L,Pair MDF cables
These cables carry voice and data information between the SL-1 UEMs and
the distribution frame. When the cables are run from the UEM to the
distribution frame, one end of the cable must be equipped with a 25-pair
female connector which terminates on the cabinet I/O panel.

;
:

(.’ :.
;y:. : : :’ !
,, , . ,,

Twisted-pair shielded cables
These cables are used to interconnect the trip power monitoring connections
between power interface units and the main distributing frame. Typically, a
16 AWG, stranded (Belden type 8408-2 conductor or equivalent) type
shielded cable is used for trip connections. All other connections are
serviced by non-shielded, 16 AWG stranded cable.

Installation planning 553-3001-l 20

34 Researching the requirements

Interface (l/O) cables I/O cables are typically 25conductor flat-ribbon or round cables interfaced
through RS-232-C connectors. These cables are used to connect data units
to printers, host computers, and modems.
UEM cable routing
Cables may be routed internally in the UEM horizontally in front and at the
rear of the card cage, vertically on the right side only and vertically through
square holes near the rear of the DEM. Cables may be routed externally in
the back of and on the left and right side of the UEM between the EMI/RFI
I/O panel and the rear cover. The cables may be routed in these channels up
to the top of the column or down to the floor through the pedestal.
Note: Routing cables on the inside of a UEM from the front to the
back on the left or Power Supply side is not recommended. This is
because of the limited access in routing the cables and of the effects of
EMI/RFI noise generated in this area to signals in the cables.
Network to PE cabling
IPE cabling from Network to PE originates from the faceplate of the
Superloop Network card and extends to the backplane connectors on the
Controller card of the lPE Module.
PE cabling originates from the faceplate of the Network card to the
faceplate of the Dual Loop Buffer.
Power and ground cables
For AC-powered systems, a 9-foot, three-conductor line cord is normally
supplied except in areas where conduit will be required. For DC-powered
systems, wiring is generally done through conduit.

Cable access requirerients
The customer is responsible for supplying all access for station, feeder, and
riser cabling including where necessary:
- conduit
- floor boring
- boring all major walls on a particular floor
- access into hung ceilings, including removal and replacement of ceiling
tiles

Fire protection and safety precautions
Fire protection and prevention
Building, fire, and safety codes establish the degree of protection required
for an installation. Additional information is available from the National
Fire Protection Association in its publications entitled “Standard for the
Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment (NFPA 75)
and “National Electrical Code” @VFPA 70).
Properly locating and installing sprinkler heads, fire and smoke sensing
devices, and other fire extinguishing equipment require expertise. Local
codes and experts should be consulted during the planning stage, and the
recommendations of insurance underwriters and local building authorities
should be sought and followed.
Some fire precautions can be implemented during the construction phase of
preparation for an installation. Walls enclosing the equipment area should
extend from floor to ceiling, and the walls, floor, and dropped ceiling, if
any, should be constructed of noncombustible covering. Shatterproof
windows and sprinklers outside and above the windows should be installed
to prevent the spread of fire from an adjacent building.
If the structural floor is made from combustible materials, it should be
covered with a noncombustible covering, and the space between the raised
and permanent floors should be cleared of all debris before the system is
installed.
Storage areas and the roof or floor above the equipment room should be
watertight since water leakage from the floor above could easily damage the
equipment below. In addition, ducts and plumbing work for airInstallation planning

553-3001-l

20

36 Researching the requirements

conditioning systems should be designed to inhibitthe spread of fire, heat,
and smoke from one part of a building to another. Smoke detectors should
also be installed.
Services such as steam, water, and power should be checked regu.Iarly, and
pipes should be inspected for excess condensation,.leaks, and corrosion. If
power connections are made beneath a raised floor, waterproof electrical
receptacles and connectors should be used.
Recommended fire extinguishing systems
In most cases, carbon dioxide or water sprinkler systems are to be used.
Water sprinklers are generally less expensive than the carbon dioxide kind.
Specifically, dry-pipe water sprinklers are strongly recommended since this
type will interrupt power to the room and open a master valve to fill the
overhead sprinklers.
Carbon dioxide systems are also effective in containing a fire, but they
quickly exhaust the available oxygen supply. If a carbon dioxide system is
used, an alarm should sound warning onsite personnel of the release of
carbon dioxide. For health and safety reasons, employees must be
evacuated within 30 seconds of the release.

CAUTION
Use of other fire extinguishing systems

Northern Telecom does not recommend the use of
Halon or any other fire extinguishing system not stated
above. Northern Telecom is supported by the
Environmental Protection Agency to enforce any
restrictions on the use of other fire extinguishing
systems.

Researching the requirements 37

Security precautibns and safeguards
Existing practices of building security should be extended and improved to
provide adequate protection for the equipment.
Safeguards such as tamperproof keylock door controls and electrically taped
glass doors and windows can be tied into an alarm system. A monitoring
unit using closed-circuit television can also be installed.
Protect critical data such as business records or other information by storing
backups well away from the equipment room. A regular updating program
is highly recommended.
Safety procedures and training
Company personnel should be taught how to respond to emergencies. Some
companies designate such individuals as security members. Training could
include how and when to evacuate personnel and records, to notify the fire
department, to shut off all electrical power, and to properly handle fire
extinguishers.
In addition to training, temperature and humidity monitoring devices (both
visual and audible alarm signals) should be installed in the equipment and
storage rooms so that individuals can respond quickly to an emergency.
Occupational noise exposure
When employees are subjected to noise levels exceeding those listed in
1910.5 of the OSHA Standards, or local standards internationally,
administrative and engineering controls should be initiated. If these
controls fail to reduce sound levels effectively, protective equipment should
be provided. The acoustic noise generated by an SL-1 UEM column should
not exceed 6OdBA (decibels “A”-weighted). Depending on the ambient
external temperature, the acoustic noise could be as low as 45 dBA.

Planning the site
Planning the site is an important element to consider when planning the
installation of an SL-1. It impacts the installation costs, operation and
maintenance and can have an overall effect on system performance.

Selecting a site
Sites should be selected and evaluated according to the followingcriteria
and the detailed information given in this document:
Space
The proposed site should provide adequate space for system unpackaging,
system installation, operation, potential expansion, service, storage of
supplies, and system operator area (if applicable). It should also provide
sufficient cooling for efficient operation of the equipment and a suitable
operating environment for the system.
Locat ion
The location should be convenient for delivery of equipment and close to
related work areas for efficient operation. The location of related equipment
(distribution frame and batteries) must be considered when selecting the
site.
Power and grounding
Sufficient power and proper grounding facilities must be available.
Structural integrity
The floor must be strong enough to support anticipated loads, and the
ceiling must be able to support overhead cable racks, if applicable.

Installation planning 553-3001-120

40 Planning the site

Developing the site

-

After selecting a site, the following items must be considered during site
development:
- Space and equipment layout requirements
- Equipment rmrn accessories
- Detailed floor plans and loading requirements
- Building cable plans
- System wire routing
- Cable termination points

The equipment room
Space and equipment layout requirements differ with each installation,
depending upon equipment selected and the available physical area. The
following categories of required space should be considered when planning
site needs:
- Primary storage
- Secondary storage
- Maintenance/Technician area
Primary storage
The floor area required for an SL-1 depends on the number of columns of
UEMs ordered, the length-to-width ratio of the area, and the location of
walls, partitions, windows, and doors. To determine the exact layout
required, prepare a detailed floor plan after reading all of the requirements
provided in this section.
Operating needs determine the location of free-standing peripherals like
printers and terminals. Printers and terminals must not exceed the
maximum distances defined for their interface circuits. Wall jacks and
outlets must be provided for all devices located in the equipment room.
Within a system there are certain requirements that must be met when
drawing up the equipment room floor plan.

Note: Sample floor plans may .vary from your own depending on your
system needs and the size/arrangement of your equipment room.
Follow the engineering guidelines as specified in System engineering
(553-3001-151).
Secondary storage
Provide space for the storage of disks, printer paper, printouts, and daily
reports within the equipment area. A secure storage room for spare parts is
recommended.
Similar environmental conditions should be maintained for storage and
operation areas. If it is not possible to maintain the storage area
environment exactly the same as that of the operating equipment, adequate
time must be allowed for stored materials to adjust to the equipment room
environment before they are used.
..
Maintenance/Technician area
The maintenance/technician area is used primarily to store tools, test
equipment, manuals, spare parts, and as an online work center. The area
should have good lighting and convenient access to the equipment. Typical
items that would go into a maintenance/technician area are:
- shelf for instruction books
- spare parts storage room
- paper storage area
- locking cabinet or storage area for back up disks
- table or desk
- printer/VDT or equivalent device

Equipment room accessories
The following equipment room accessories are recommended:
- Temperature/humidity

The floor plan

...>.;,.%

Since the space requirements and the overall layout of the equipment room
can have an effect on the installation, operation, and maintenance of a
system, a detailed floor plan should be drawn up for each site.
The floor plan should show the location of utility closets and cross- connect
terminals. All cables running from distribution points to the zones should
be clearly designated with the zone ID. The zones are typically the
termination point of conduits throughout the office. (See Figure 8 “Sample
building cable plan” for an illustration of zones.) Within a zone the cables
should be identified by their number within the zone.
Note: According to the National Fire Code, equipment must be
located at least 12 inches from a sprinkler head. If your system has .four UEMs and a cable rack, do not place the equipment directly under
any sprinkler heads.
Consider the following guidelines when planning the equipment room floor
plans:
- a recommended minimum ceiling height of 8 ft (2436mm) or greater

---

- a minimum distance between equipment aisles of 30 inches (760mm)
- a minimum distance between end of aisle stacks and wall and between
rows of 3 ft (914mm)
- location of modems, printers, and terminals
- size and location of reserve power
- size and location of cross-connect terminal
- size and location of maintenance/technician area
- number of rows and future expansion needs (RF’E or Meridian Mail, for
example). Refer to System engineering (553-3001-151) for guidelines
on system expansion.

The building cable plan

-

The building cable plan should be divided into zones. The zones are
typically the termination point of conduits throughout the office. Each zone
on the building cable plan should be identified with a letter or number, and a
block of numbers should be assigned to each zone. Be sure to leave room
for expansion. See Figure 8 “Sample building cable plan” for an illustration
of zoning.
In addition, the following information and guidelines should be consider&
Each telephone, console, or data set connected to the SL-1 requires
telephone wire run from a nearby telephone jack to a cross-connect
location. Also, each component connected to the system requires a
termination. (Modular jacks should be within 8 ft
[2436 mm] of the device.) The location of all devices that interface
with the SL- 1 should be known.
Telephone directory number, features, and Office Data Administration
System (ODAS) designator of each telephone in the office should also
be known.
- Three-pairs of telephone wire should be provided from the telephone or

data set location to the distribution frame. Location of all distribution
points (main and intermediate) should be known.
Consoles require a 16-pair (or 25pair) cable equipped with an
Amphenol-type connector.
If any existing wire is to be used, ownership of that wire must be
clearly defined.
All wiring carrying high-speed data must pass a verification test at the
time of installation. The test is performed as part of the installation
procedures.

Wire routing
The routing of all wires for the SL-1 must be specified as part of the plan.
To plan wire routing, establish the start and end point of each cable relative
to the location of telephones in the office. Remember that each modular
jack (8-pin or 6-pin, for example) must be within 8 feet.
(2.4 m) of the telephones.
At this point the construction of the office must be investigated to determine
the best wiring routes. Consider the following information when
performing this task
Floors
Telephone wire travels along floors in one of two ways:
- Out in the open: In some cases wires are tacked to the surface of walls
and other physical structures. For the safety of employees, wire should
never be stretched across the top of floor. Run the wires along
baseboards, ceiling mouldings, or door and window casings.
- Concealed: In other cases wires are run inside a floor conduit. The
conduits can travel between utility closets and jack locations. In some
cases the floor conduits connect to a conduit passing through walls or
ceilings. In all cases the conduit must be used exclusively for
telephone cables. The use of under-carpet cables is not recommended.
Ceilings
The National Electrical Code and local building codes specify what types of
telephone wire may be run in each type of ceiling. Local building codes
take precedence.
Walls
Wiring that needs to be run horizontally cannot be blind fed through walls.
Cables that need to be run vertically should, when possible, run inside a
wall, pole, or similar facility for vertical wire drops.
Between floors
Telephone utility closets should be located as closely to one another as
possible. In many cases, contractors are hired to install the conduit. Local
coding laws will specify whether a licensed contractor is required.

installation planning 553-3001-l 20

52 Planning the site

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Data degradation may occur if wires travel near strong sources of
electomagnetic interference. See “The equipment room environment” in
this document for common sources of interference.

Termination points
Once the routes for the wires have been determined, the termination points
for the these wires must be decided. The cables can terminate at various
locations:
- main cross-connect terminal-typically in the equipment room
- intermediate cross-connect terminals-typically on each floor in
telephone utility closet
- wall jacks or terminal boxes-typically near the final device location
(within 8 ft [2.4 m])
Distribution frames
House cables terminate on the vertical side of two-sided frames and crossconnect to equipment which is typically located on the horizontal. When a
color field approach is taken, the house cables typically terminate in the
blue field and the equipment terminates on the purple (USA) or white
(Canada) field.
In all cases the block where the cables are terminated must be clearly
designated with the cable location information and the cable pair
assignments.
Note: A log book (cable record) of all termination information should
be kept See Table 11 for an example.

Preparing for delivery
The route the equipment must take from the receiving area to the
installation area must be studied in advance. The route should be measured
to ensure problem free delivery of the equipment. The following factors
must be considered:

Considerations
-

size and security of the loading and storage areas

- capacity and availability of elevators
- the number and size of aisles and doors en route
- restrictions such as bends or obstructions in halls
- floor loading capacity of the loading, storage, and equipment room

- Is a list of all equipment ordered available on site?
- Are transportation arrangements to premises completed?
- Is assistance available to prepare the switchroom?
From unloading area to equipment room
- Are unloading/unpacking facilities available?
- Are unloading/unpacking tools available? (pallet jack, for instance)
- Is there access to and from unloading area to equipment room?
- Is the equipment room threshold large enough for the equipment to
enter?
Note:

The equipment should be located as close to the final
installation area as possible. This will provide for an easier, perhaps
safer, installation.

1:;
‘;
-

.
.,
‘I -‘.‘-+ :,
_ _ _ _ . ._
. ._. .,^.
,.._ ,’

- Circuit packs, disks, and tapes are very sensitive to s.tatic discharge; all
static electricity should be discharged-from the body prior to handling.
- Circuit packs should be handled carefully: only handle packs by the
edges, only remove and insert packs when necessary, and only unpack
or handle packs away from machinery such as electric motors or
transformers.
- If your system is using reserve power, the batteries may weigh in
excess of 500 pounds each and may be packaged four to a shipping
pallet. To prevent stressing of the floor, do not place the pallets sideby-side in the equipment room.
- Special ramps supplied with the product must be used to move the
product off the pallet. Follow the instructions on unloading the
machine provided on the side of the product. (See CAUTION box
below.)
CAUTION

Lifting the pedestal

The pedestal of the SL- 1 must never be pried up in
order to lift the stack. This could cause major damage
to the pedestal. Carefully slide the pedestal and
associated stack manually, and use the special ramps
provided with your system.

About this document
General information
The following document has been updated to include new naming
conventions and system engineering guidelines for the SL-1 System.
Acronyms and abbreviations for the new names are identified in the text
using parentheses.
This section provides the necessary information to:
- determine the equipment requirements for an SL-1 installation
- configure and assign equipment in the system
- distribute traffic equally over the system components
- maintain traffic distribution and equipment utilization levels when
adding or removing equipment or when altering the system
configuration
Note: The figures and limits used in this section are not necessarily
typical and should not be interpreted as limits of the system capacity.
The figures should be altered to suit the application of a particular
system. Memory and real time figures, which vary for each generic of
SL-1, are given in an appendix to this publication.

System organization and capacities
The SL-1 System is basically organized into different kinds of systems and
can support from 32 to 10,000 analog or digital lines, depending on traffic
and feature requirements. System configurations are determined by
customer requirements and the physical limitations of the equipment. Both
AC and DC power options are available.
The following figures show a high level view of each system configuration.
For information on power packs, cooling system, and system monitor, refer
to the System overview (553-3001-100) document, Both AC and DC power
is available.
Option 21
This cost effective unit comes in two sizes. The standard version is a
single-CPU system that may contain up to four UEMs. It can be configured
with an optional fan shelf for up to two UEMs (AC or DC power options).
The modified version, Option 21A, is an optimized single-module AC
system. See Figure l-l.
Options 51 and 61
Option 51 is a CPU/Network-based (NT-type) system; one shelf contains
single CPU/half group; it serves from 800 to 1,000 lines. Option 61 is a
CPU/Network-based (NT-type) system; two shelves contain dual CPU/full
group; it serves from 1,000 to 2,000 lines. See Figures 2 and 3.

System capacities Network terminating capacity
The Superloop Network Card (NT8DO4AA) has four network loops
grouped as one superloop. One superloop can serve up to, two Intelligent
Peripheral Equipment UEMs (IPE) (NT8D37AA/DC).
Network traffic capacity
Each superloop is capable of carrying 3500 CCS (or 875 CCS/Ioop) of
combined station, trunk, attendant console and Digitone traffic during
Average Busy Season Busy Hour (ABSBH) subject to the following grades
of service:
- the loss of no more than 1% of the incoming terminating calls, provided
the called line is free
- the loss of no more than 1% of the originating outgoing calls in the
system, provided an idle trunk is available
.
- the loss of no more than 4% of the intra-office calls, provided that the
called line is free
- no more than 1.5% of the originating calls wait longer than 3 seconds
for dial tone
- the loss of no more than 1% of tandem calls, provided an idle outgoing
trunk is available
Memory capacity
The memory capacity is a function of the machine type. Memory
requirements are a function of the system size and features available. See

Definitions
General rules
Apply the following rules for system engineering when arranging various
Universal Equipment Modules (UEMs) within an SL- 1.
Note: This document has been updated to include new naming
conventions. Acronyms and abbreviations for the new names are
identified in the text using parentheses.
UEM and column designations
Columns of Universal Equipment Modules (UEMs) are numbered from 0 to
63. The column with CPU 0 is Column 0. Within a column, the UEMs are
numbered as 0 to 3 starting from the bottom UEM.
A UEM column can be built up to a maximum of four UEMs before moving
to the next column; however, three UEMs per column can be configured if
it is easier for installation and maintenance.
All the SL-1 Common Equipment (CPU UFMs) must be at the bottom or
one level up for proper cooling and reliability. The mass storage unit-Multi-Disk Unit (MDU) or Floppy Disk Unit (FDU)--is usually located in a
CPU UEM and requires lower operating temperatures than the cards. For
this reason, do not install MDU/FDU in the third or fourth UEM.
The Common Equipment (CE) UEMs must be located next to each other at
the same horizontal level. The CPU/Network Modules (NT6D39AA/DC)
(CNE) must be located on top of each other.
The CPU, InterGroup, and CE UEMs must be located in the same vertical
column. For these UEMs, all inter-UEM cabling must be internal, not

System engineering 553-3001-l 51

2-2 Definitions

through the I/O panels or EM1 filters. In addition, all vertical routing of the
internal signal cables should be done on the right side of a column.
The InterGroup UEM should be located at the top of a column and adjacent
to the CE UEMs.
Peripheral Equipment (PE or IPE) UEMs may be located away from CE and
CPU UEMs by a maximum network cable length of 45 feet. This means
that typically at floor level the CE UEM serving its PE cannot be more than
20 feet apart.
Configurations
A full network group consists of two half network group UEMs stacked one
on top of the other. This rule does not apply when the Network Module is
used only as a DTI/PRI shelf.
SL-1 Option 51 can be configured using one Network Module (half network
group) or two Network Modules (full network group). SL-1 Option 71 must
be expanded in increments of full network groups.
In multiple-group machines, the addition of network groups should be
considered in the floor plans. Make sure the network groups are located in
one contiguous equipment bay. One possibility is to provide space for
--expanding network groups to the left of CPU UEMs and Peripheral
Another

keep Peripheral Equipment (PE or IPE) expansion as a separate bay. See
Figure 14 “Option 71 with multiple network group.”

Definitions 2-3

Peripherals
One superloop (the equivalent of four regular loops) should serve two, four,
six, or eight segments. A segment is one-fourth of the Intelligent Peripheral
Equipment (IPE)(NT8D37AA/DC) shelf containing four slots.
A superloop can serve from one segment to two IPE UEMs in increments of
one segment, depending on the ratio of TN to TS. Preferably, a superloop
should be configured to serve an even number of segments. Assign full
traffic and IPE Cards to one superloop before assigning to the next.
For every superloop which has “empty” IPE slots associated with it
(because it is not assigned to exact multiples of eight cards), there should be
spare traffic to use those slots when the system grows. Future additions of
IPE Cards can be made to these superloops.
For traffic purposes, Network/DTR (Net/DTR) may be typically assigned to
serve 96 lines, 32 trunks, and 8 DTR ports (10 IPE Cards total ) even though
it has higher traffic capacity.
The total number of AC Ringing Generators (Rng Gen) in a system can be
minimized by consolidating all Analog Line Cards in a few IPE UEMs and
CE/PE UEM, if applicable. For traffic and reliability reasons, no more than
three-fourths of the IPE and CE/PE UEMs should be filled with Analog
Line Cards (Anlg LC)(NT8DO3AA) or Analog Message Waiting Line --cards (Anlg M/W LC) (NT8Do9AA).

Equipment utilization
Equipment is provided and maintained throughout the SL-1 location life at
an 85% utilization level.

Network loop traffic
The recommended traffic level for a Network superloop is:
- 3500 CCS without Digitone-using apparatus
- 2975 CCS with Digitone-using apparatus
The traffic level per netwcrk loops depends on whether or not the Peripheral
Equipment uses Digitone trunks.

Partitioning
The SL-1 can be configured as a partitioned or non-partitioned system when
.
it is to serve more than one customer.
A partitioned system dedicates each customer and the customer’s associated
lines and trunks to actual partitioned segments of the system in terms of
loops and shelves. Consoles and Digitone receivers are normally spread
over all loops and shelves in a partitioned system.
In a non-partitioned system, all customers, trunks, lines, consoles, and
Digitone receivers are spread over all loops and shelves. A non-partitioned
system provides the following advantages:
- fewer traffic loops are required
- fewer PE shelves and cards are required
- system call-carrying capacity is more easily achieved and maintained
- customers are distributed evenly over the loops
- load balancing is more easily accomplished by being done on a system
basis rather than for each customer

Network loop assigning
When assigning the loop number in systems equipped with two Network
UEMs, the load should be distributed evenly across both UEMs. Loops
should be assigned in the order shown in Table 2- 1. Record the loops used
in Worksheet L provided at the end of this document.
.
The total number of Peripheral Equipment UEMs should be distributed over
the total number of voice and data loops. Normally, one PE UEM is
assigned to a superloop. However, one PE UEM cart be assigned from one
half-superloop to as many as four superloops, depending on the
concentration of Terminal Numbers to Timeslot ratio. See Table 2-l for
details on loop number assignments.

PE card distribution
Using Worksheet M (provided at the end of this document), determine the
total number of each type of PE cards (500, SLl, TRK, DTR, etc.) per PE
UEM.
Using Worksheets N and 0 (also provided at the end of this document),
determine the number of Multiple Appearance Groups (MAG) assigned to
each loop. (Also refer to Worksheet S for a Multiple Appearance Group
Record sheet). Multiple appearance groups should be balanced over all the
loops.
Multiple appearance groups that call each other frequently should not be
assigned to the same loop, but should be assigned to the same network
group to reduce inter-group calls in multiple network group systems. Large
multiple appearance groups of more than 10 TNs should be avoided, if
possible.
Users within a multiple network group system that call each other
frequently should be assigned to the same network group. Similarly, trunk
groups that are used primarily by certain groups of users should be assigned
within the same network group as the users.

Definitions 2-9

Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (.IPE) card slot assigning
Card slot priority
Input messages from card slots 1 and 0 in each IPE module (card slot 0 in
each EPE shelf) are directed to a high priority input buffer.. The input
messages from the remaining slots on each -lPE module are directed to a
priority input buffer. The system processes the low priority input buffer
only when the high priority buffer and the SL-1 and 500 output buffers are
empty, thereby minimizing input buffer delay on signals from devices in
high priority card slots. This mechanism is important for certain types of
trunks that require critical timing. It is relatively unimportant for other
devices.

Class of service priority
Class of service priority is completely unrelated to card slot priority.
Selected sets and trunks can be assigned a high priority (HPR) class of
service Requests for dial tone from high priority sets and trunks are
processed before sets and trunks assigned a low priority (LPR) class of
service The fewer the sets and trunks assigned as high priority, the better
the service received during heavy load conditions.

Trunks
Incoming Delay Dial, Wink Start, and similar trunks have a timing
--advantage at seizure time when assigned to card slots 1 and 0 in the IPE
module. TIE/DID trunks with DTMF pulsing (incoming) used on the high
priority card slots (1 and 0) have a better chance of attaching a DTR before
the first digit arrives. Trunks using 10 or 20 pps (incoming) should not be
assigned to high priority slots to minimize the number of high priority input
messages during pulsing.
The recommended card slot assignments for trunks is as follows:
- AIOD type trunks must always be assigned to card slots 1 and 0.
- Delay Dial, Wink Start and DTMF type trunks should be assigned to a
high priority card slot if possible.
- Trunks using 10 or 20 pps (incoming) should not be assigned to a high
priority card slot if possible
- Other types of trunks may be assigned to high priority card slots to
avoid glare, but can also be assigned card slot 2 through 10.
System engineering 553-3001-l 51

low

2-10 Definitions

Attendant consoles Attendant consoles should never be assigned to a high priority card slot.
Too many high priority messages from attendant consoles assigned to these
card slots can result in delays in output messages to attendant consoles, sets
and trunks. Attendant consoles should always be assigned to card slots 2
through 10. A large number of attendant consoles should not be assigned to
the same network loop since buffer overflow may result (ERR030 and
ERR040 messages on the TTY).
Telephone sets
SL-l-, X0-, and 2500~type sets can be assigned to any card slot. However,
there is no service or user~advantage gained by assigning sets to high
priority card slots. One disadvantage of assigning a 500~type set to high
priority card slots is the possibility of input messages during pulsing
delaying output buffer processing.
Card slot assignment
Use Worksheet P (provided at the end of this document) to assign cards to
the UEM slots. Calculate the average load after all packs of a particular type
have been assigned. Total the load and keep a running total. If this method
is followed, cards need not be interchanged at the end of the process
because of load imbalance.

Assigning cards Procedure 2-1
Order for assigning cards

1

Assign cards requiring a card slot 1 assignment (high priority slot).

2

Assign cards for high-usage trunks, such as CO trunks.

3

Assign cards for low-usage trunks, such as paging and dictation.

4

Assign cards for attendant consoles.
Note: For the.PE UEM (NT8D13AA/DC), card slot 1 is reserved for
high priority signaling. For the IPE UEM (NT8D37AA/DC), both card
slots 0 and 1 are reserved for high priority signaling.

5

Assign Digitone receiver cards.

6

Assign cards for sets associated with multiple appearance groups.

7

Assign remaining cards. On a system which has a high density of
Digitone sets, assign the least number of SO0 line cards to loops which
have Digitone receivers assigned.
Note: Loops and Conference/Tone and Digit Switch Cards
(Conf/TDS) should be evenly distributed across Network UEMs and
groups.

8

Calculate the total load per UEM.

9

Calculate the total load per loop.

10 If required, rearrange card assignments to balance the load.

System engineering 553-3001-151

2-12 Definitions

Terminal number assigning
Once the cards are assigned to the PE UEMs, the individual units on each
card can be assigned. Use Worksheet Q (at the end of this document) to
record the Terminal Number (TN) assignments. TN 0000 cannot be used on
superloop 0. Therefore, use loop 0 for Enhanced Network or .
Conference/IDS Card to avoid wasting a port. -

Ongoing assignment plan
Use the initial assignment records to complete an SL-1 System assignment
plan for each equipped network loop in the system. (See Worksheet R at
the end of this document). From this system loop profile, an assignment
plan can be developed for each loop. Assignments for future trunks,
multiple appearance group stations, consoles, and Digitone receiver
requirements can be developed for each loop according to the profile.

Cutover study
Once the system has been placed in service, a cutover study should be
undertaken. The results of this study are used to update the loop profiles
and create a new assignment plan. Ongoing assignments should follow the
new assignment plan until the first customer busy-season trunking study.
At that time loop threshold measurements are set so that at least one of the
predominant busy hours would produce a CCS load output.

Threshold study
From the threshold study printout the loop profile should be updated, and a
new assignment plan should be developed. At this time, it may be advisable
to estimate the system capacity for future growth. If the growth capacity is
sufficient to last beyond the next annual threshold study, assignments can
continue in accordance with the assignment plan. If the growth capacity is
not sufficient, plans should be made to establish a tentative date when new
equipment (loops or shelves) must be ordered and installed. This date
generally should be controlled by physical capacity and tracked by total
working physical terminations.

System

Definitions 2-13

Equipment relief When additional equipment is installed, assignments should be concentrated
into the new loop or shelves until the first threshold study. At that time, the
loop profile would be updated and a new loading plan developed. At any
time when a loop exceeds 500 CCS (based on 85% traffic level), that loop
should be suspended from future assignments. If any loop should encounter
service problems, that loop should be suspended and sufficient load
removed to reduce service levels to an acceptable level.

Assignment records
The following printouts are available from the system and should be used in
addition to worksheets to assist in maintaining assignment records:

Step 1:

Define and forecast growth
The first step in provisioning an initial SL-1 is to forecast the growth of the
system at the 2-year and 5-year interval in terms of telephone stations.
The number of telephones required when the system is placed in service
(cutover) is determined by the customer. If the customer is unable to
provide a 2-year and 5-year station growth forecast, then a customer
estimate of annual growth of personnel in percent is used to estimate the
number of stations required at the 2-year and 5-year interval.
Example
A customer has 500 employees and requires 275 telephones to meet the
system cutover. The customer projects an annual increase of 5% of
employees based on future business expansion. The employee growth
forecast is:
- 500 employees x 0.05 (% growth) = 25
- 525 employees x 0.05 = 27 additional employees at 1 year
- 552 employees x 0.05 = 28 additional employees at 2 years
- 580 employees x 0.05 = 29 additional employees at 3 years
- 609 employees x 0.05 = 31 additional employees at 4 years
- 640 employees x 0.05 = 32 additional employees at 5 years
The ratio of telephones to employees is 275/500 = 0.55.

3-4 Provisioning guidelines

To determine the number of telephones required from cutover through a 5year interval, the number of employees required at cutover 1,2,3,4, and 5
years is multiplied by the ratio of telephones to employee.

- 500 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 275 telephones required at cutover
- 525 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 289 telephones requiredat 1 year
- 552 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 304 telephones required at 2 years
- 580 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 319 telephones required at 3 years
- 609 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 335 telephones required at 4 years
- 640 (employees) x 0.55 (ratio) = 352 telephones required at 5 years
This customer requires 275 telephones at cutover, 304 telephones at 2 years,
and 352 telephones at 5 years.
Every Directory Number (DN) assigned to an NE-500 or NE-2500 set
requires a Terminal Number (TN). Each SL-1 set requires a TN.
Determine the number of NE-500, NE-2500, and SL-1 TN required for each
customer, and enter this information on Worksheet A (provided at the end
of this document). Perform this calculation for the cutover, 2-year, and 5year interval.

Default method
Studies have been conducted which estimate the average line CCS/r to
never be greater than 5.5 in 90 percent of all businesses. If attempts to
calculate the CCS/r using the comparative method or the manual
calculation have not been successful, the default-of 5.5 line CCS/r can be
used.
The network line usage is determined by multiplying the number of lines by
5.5 CCS/r. The total is then multiplied by 2 to incorporate the trunk
CCS/r. Unfortunately, when this method is used, the intra CCS/r is added
twice to the equation, and the result could be over provisioning if the intra
CCS/T is high.
Another difficulty experienced with this method is the inability to forecast
individual trunk groups. The trunk and intra CCS/T is forecasted as a sum
group total. Examples of the Default method and the Manual calculation
method are shown in Table 3-4 for comparison.
Default method example:

- 275 Stations at Cutover
- 304 Stations at 2 years
- 352 Stations at 5 years

Cutover 275 x 5.5 (CCWI’) x 2 = 3025 CCS Total System Load
2 Year 304 x 5.5 (CCS/r) x 2 = 3344 CCS Total System Load
5 Year 352 x 5.5 (CCS/T) x 2 = 3872 CCS Total System Load

Step 3:
Calculate number of trunks required
Trunks required
The values obtained through any of the three previous methods should now
be entered on Worksheet A (provided at the end of this document). Add
your calculations to the worksheet. Once the trunk CCS/T is known, and a
grade of service has been specified by the customer, the number of trunks
required per trunk group to meet the cutover, 2-year and 5-year
requirements of a customer can be determined as follows:
Example
The customer requires a Poisson 1% blocking grade of service (see Table
3-A at the end of this document). The estimated trunk CCS/r is 1.14 for a
DID trunk group. With the cutover, 2-year and 5-year number of lines, the
total trunk CCS is determined by multiplying the number of lines by the’.
trunk ccs/r:
Cutover 275 (lines) x 1.14 (trunk CCS/I) = 313.5 CCS
2 year 304 (lines) x 1.14 (trunk CCS/r) = 346.5 CCS
5 year 352 (lines) x 1.14 (trunk CCS/I’) = 401.28 CCS
Use Table 6- 1 to determine the quantity of trunks required to meet the trunk
CCS at cutover, 2-year and 5-year interval. In this case:
- 17 DID trunks are required at cutover
- 18 DID trunks are required at 2 years
- 21 DID trunk are required at 5 yearrs
Note: For trunk traffic greater than 4427 ccs, allow 29.5 ccs/mmk.

Step 4:

Calculate line, trunk, and console load
Line, trunk, and console load

_

Once the quantity of trunks required has been estimated, enter the quantities
on Worksheet A (in Step 1) for the cutover, 2-year and 5-year interval. This
calculation must be performed for each trunk group to be equipped. The
total trunk CCS/T is the sum of each individual trunk group CCS/r. This
value is also entered on Worksheet A. (See Worksheet A at the end of this
document.)

Line load
The line load is calculated by multiplying the total number of 500 and
SL-1 line Terminal Numbers (TN) by the line CCS/r. The number of TN is
..
determined as follows:
- one TN for every Directory Number (DN) assigned to one or more 500

or 2500~type set
- one TN for every SL-1 set.
- one Tn for every digital set M2xxx or M3xxx without data option.
- two TNs for every M2xxx or M3xxx set with data option.

Trunk load
The trunk load is calculated by multiplying the total number of digital sets,
500, and SL-1 line TN having access to the trunk route by the CCS/r per
trunk route.

Console load
The console load is determined by multiplying the number of consoles by
30 CCS per console.

3-14 ‘hovisioning guidelines

Step 5:
Calculate DTR requirements
Once station and trunk requirements have been determined for the complete
system, the Digitone Receiver (DTR) requirements can be calculated. DTR
are shared by all customers in the system and should be distributed equally
over all the network loops.
Tables 6-3 through 6-6 (at the end of this document) are based on models of
PBX traffic environments and can be applied to determine DTR needs in
most cases. When the system being provisioned does not fall within the
bounds of these models or is equipped with any special features, the detailed
calculations must be performed for each feature and the number of Digitone
receivers must accomodate the highest result.
Some special features are:
- Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)
- Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
- Authorization Code
- Charge Account for Call Detail Recording (CDR)
- Integrated Message Service (IMS)
Note: Refer to the section “Feature calculations” for more information
on the above features.

System engineering 553-3001-151

Provisioning guidelines 3-15

From the appropriate table (See Table.6-3 to.Table 6-6 at the end of this
document) determine the number of DTR required and the DTR load for
cutover, two-year, and five-year interval. Record this information on
Worksheet B (located at the end of this document).
The following models are based on some common PBX traffic
measurements:

Model 1
Table 6-3 is based on the following factors:
- 33% intra-office calls, 33% incoming calls, and 33% outgoing calls
- 1.5% dial tone delay grade of service
- no Digitone DID trunks or incoming Digitone tie trunks

Model 2

.
Table 64 is based on the following factors:
- assumes same traffic pattern as model 1
- the system has Digitone DID trunks or incoming Digitone tie trunks
- Poisson 0.1% blockage grade of service

Detailed calculation: method 1
This method can be used when there are no incoming Digitone DID trunks
and the following is assumed:
- Receiver traffic is assumed to be inflated by 30% to cover unsuccessful
dialing attempts.
- Call holding times used in Irma-office and Outgoing Call calculations

can be assumed to be 135 seconds if unknown.
- Receiver holding times assumed to be 6.2 and 14.1 seconds for intra
and outgoing calls respectively.
- Factor (l-R)/2 in (1) Outgoing, assumes that Incoming calls and
Outgoing calls are equal. R is the intra-office ratio.

3-18 Provisioning guidelines

Step 6:

Calculate total system load
Total the line, trunk, console, and Digitone receiver load for each customer
to arrive at a total load figure for each customer for the cutover, 2-year, and
5-year interval. Enter this figure on Worksheets B and C (at the end of this
document).

Step 7:

Calculate number of superloops required
The system network loop requirement is the total of all individual customer
loops and superloops required. The number of network loops and
superloops required is calculated for each customer for the cutover, IL-year,
and 5-year interval. Network loops and superloops are provisioned at
cutover on the basis of the 2-year loop requirement figure.
To determine the number of superloops required, first separate the traffic
supported by Enhanced Network Cards (QPC414). Enhanced Networks
support the traffic carried by Data Line Cards (QPC3 11, QPC430,
QPC432), RPE, and DTI/PRI. Remaining traffic including DTR traffic
should be engineered for superloops.
Number of Superloop Network Cards or Number of superloops =
Traffic to be handled bv Superloon Network
2975

These figures are based on an 85% utilization level. The value obtained
should be rounded to the next higher number. For Option 21, exclude the
traffic carried by 10 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) Cards in the
first module before computing the number of Superloop Network Cards.

System engineering 553-3001-151

Provisioning guidelines 3-19

Non-blocking configura‘tion with Superloop Network
For non-blocking applications (or non-blocking part of the system), provide
one superloop per 120 Terminal Numbers (INS). Each line or trunk is one
TN except that an integrated voice and data line is two TNs (assuming dam
port is configured).

Blocking configuration with Superloop Network
For applications where blocking is allowed, one superloop can serve up to
512 lines (1024 TNs). The actual number of lines will depend on the traffic
requirement of the lines.

Enhanced Network Cards (QPC414)
The traffic carried by Enhanced Network Cards includes the data traffic,
RPE traffic, and DTI/PRI traffic (which includes both the data and voice
traffic).
Provide separate loops for RPE and DTI/PRI traffic. Based on 85%
utilization, the number of loops required is calculated as follows:
Number of loops =
Traffic reauired to be carried bv Enhanced Network Cards
560
Number of Enhanced Network Cards = Number of
2

100~s

The value obtained should be rounded to the next higher number.

DTI/PRI cards
Digital Trunk Interface Cards (DTIs) provide the interface between the SL-1
switch and the T-l/IX 1 Digital transmission trunks. Digital trunks are
offered in the group of 24 trunks. The number of DTI Cards required can
be found from Table 3-5 when the DTUPRI traffic is known.
Note: The number of DTI/PRI loops = number of DTI/PRI cards

Note: In a Network module, if two network slots
are available but not contiguous, the Superloop
Network Card or Enhanced Network Card can be
moved to create a 2” slot for DTI/PRI. The
Superloop Network Card can be plugged into the
left or right half of the “superslot” to achieve this

For non-blocking applications, the Ring Again feature must be provided
since blocking may occur at the far end of the trunk.
Since the DTI/PRI Card physically occupies two network slots, therefore,
the number of DTI/PRI Cards should be multiplied by 2 to obtain the
required number of network slots.
DTI/PRI Cards can be plugged into a Network module, a
Common/Peripheral Equipment module, a Common Equipment module, a
CPU module, or Remote Peripheral Equipment modules. After all essential
cards are configured in these UEMs, estimate the available slots for
DTI/PRI. If enough slots are not available for all DTl/PRIs required, a
special DTI/PRI-only Network module can be added to the system.

Provisioning guidelines 3-21

Step 8:
Calculate number of Network groups required
Compute the number of Network groups based on the total. number of loops
required (excluding conference and tone loops). The following equation
should be used: (Also refer to Table 3-6.)
Total number of loops = 4 x no. of Superloop Network Cards + 2 x
no. of Enhanced Networks

Note: Use Worksheet C (at the end of this
document) if no superloop is required. If the total
number of loops required exceeds 22, then a
multiple group system should be installed.
Based on the above criteria, installing a multiple group system at the start is
more cost-effective than converting to a multiple group system (from a
single gropu system) between the 2-year and 5-year interval.

worksheet for the cutover, 2-year, and 5-year intervals.
Using the information on Worksheet A, enter the number of M2xxx TNs,
M3xxx TNs, NE-500/2500 TN, SL-1 TN, and trunk TN required at the
cutover, 2-year, and 5-year interval (for all customers).
Divide each entry by the number of terminal number assignments per card,
round up to the next highest figure, and total the number of cards required.
Calculate the number of new cards and old cards separately.
Note: Worksheets are provided at the end of this document.

Step 10:
Calculate number of PE UEMs required
The number of PE UEMs provided at cutover is based on the 2-year
estimate of PE cards required and an 85% utilization level. The maximum
capacity of an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) Module is 256
Integrated Voice and Data (IVD) or analog lines; however, a typical
configuration should include a combination of line, trunk, and digitone
receivers which provides up to 160 lines with appropriate trunks.
Divide the number of PE cards required at 2-years by 8.5, round to the next
higher figure, and enter this value on Worksheet D (at the end of this
document).
To compute the number of Peripheral Equipment (PE) UEMs, total the
number of line cards, trunk cards, and Digitone receiver cards required at 2
years by 13.6 and round to the next higher integer figure. Enter this value
into Worksheet D (located at the end of this document).

- 50-50 split of originating and terminating calls and 135 seconds
average call holding time were assumed in Step (a).
- 50% of calls from 2500 sets were intra-PBX calls Step (b).
- In general, a caller will not wait until the completion of Recorded

Procedure 4-3
Calculations with IMS

1

Calculate originating calls from 2500 sets of the PBX.
Calls from 2500 sets = CCS/line x 100 x Qty 2500 sets/(2x135) = A_-

2

Calculate intra-PBX calls from 2500 sets.
Irma-PBX 2500~set calls = A x 0.5 = B

3

Calculate calls requiring service of DTR.
Calls to DTR = B x 0.5 = C where 0.5 is the fraction of B which goes to

Notes: Do not configure more than one TCM console on one Dgtl LC

different XPE UEMs and different superloops for even higher
reliability. Use paging trunks on XUT or XEM depending on what
combination minimizes the total number of trunk cards required.

Note: This table is based on an 85% utilization level. The 17850 CCS limit used above is
based on CCS/Loop figures of 744 CCS/Loop with no Digitone trunks and 720 CCS/Loop
with Digitone trunks. This constitutes an 85% utilization level of the maximum CCS/Loop
of the current system which is 875 CCS/Loop with no Digitone trunks and 848 CCS/Loop
with Digitone trunks and with the use of a Superloop Network Card.

Memory description
Software and office data are stored in a read/write Random Access Memory
(RAM). The RAM is organized into modules of 128K, 192K, 256K, 512K
or 768K by 16bit words, or 24-bit words for NT, RT, and XT machines in
Release 12 and later. Memory size depends on the features programmed
into the machine and the number and type of stations served. The memory
module pack(s) are mounted in the CE shelf. The following table shows the
..
valid hardware configuration for the various SL-1 systems.
Release 15 introduces other System Options, whose memory calculations
coincide with the following current machine types:
- System option 21 has the same.memory capacity as the 1011 machine
--(ST) type
- System options 51, and 61 have the same memory capacity as the 1111
machine (NT) type
- System option 71 has the same memory capacity as the 1211 machine
(XT) type

Memory description 5

Memory Generic 711 (S and MS)
The memory requirements for a Generic 7 11 system consists of a Read
Only Memory (ROM) circuit pack and RAM circuit pack(s). The memory
system is divided into pages.
The unprotected and protected data stores are usually assigned to pages 0
and 1.
The bottom 8K words of page 2 are replaced with the QPC486 ROM pack.
The remaining top words of page 2 are assigned to program store.
Page 3 (Input/Output memory) is not assigned to a QPC478 module and
page 4 is not used.
Additional pages of program store are provided as required, by RAM pack
addition or rearrangement.
Configuration Overlay LD 17 is used to assign the RAM type or‘
combination of types for data and program store to a system (see 553-3001400).

Memory Generics 811 and 911 (N and XN)
Software and office data for Generics 8 11 and 9 11 are stored in a RAM (as
for Generic 7 11) except that QPC426 and/or QPC479 modules (or a
QPC672) are used.
The ROM for Generic 8 11 is contained in a QPC486 pack while the ROM
for Generic 9 11 is part of the QPC443 Control and Timing pack.

Memory Generics 1011 (ST)
Software and office data for Generic 1011 system are stored in a RAM (as
for Generic 7 11) except that QPC673 (with error correction) is used.
The ROM for Generic 1011 is contained in QPC717 ROM pack which
connects to the QPC687 CPU pack.

Memory Generics 1111,1211, and 1311 (NT, XT, and RT)
Software and office data for Generic 1111,1211, and 13 11 systems are
stored in a RAM (as for Generic 711) except that QPC583 modules, with
24-bit addressing, are used.
Memory calculations 553-2201-l 51 Appendix 1

6 Memory description

The ROM for Generic 1111; 1211, and 13 11 is contained in a QPC579 CPU
Function Unit.

Templates
A template is a map of the pattern of keys/features assigned to a telephone,
The protected data structure for the SL- 1 NE-500/2500 and digital
telephones is based on the concept of shared templates. For example, if two
or more telephones have identical key/feature layouts, then the data
regarding this layout is contained in a single template, thereby reducing the
storage required for data description.
The operation of the template mechanism is internal and is transparent to
the user. Templates are created automatically either by service change
programs or by the sysload program at system startup. The data print
program (Overlay 20) of 553-3001-400 has been extended to assist in
optimizing template usage. The program can print:
- individual templates or all templates in the system.
- the number of telephones using a particular template.
- the Terminal Numbers (TNs) using a template.
- the total number of templates defined and the number of templates used
by at least one telephone.
IVole : A large number of telephones clustered around a relative small
number of templates indicates efficient use of templates.
When data is entered into the system, use the following guidelines to
maximize the protected memory savings provided by the template
mechanisms.
(a) If two or more telephones have the same functions defined, they should,
if possible, have the same key/feature layout assigned. This ensures
that all such telephones and add-on modules share the same template.
(b) For telephones that have the same functions defined but their auto-dial
and/or call-forward features have different number sizes, it is less
expensive (in terms of memory) to make the sizes of the numbers equal
rather than assign the telephones to different templates. The rule to be
used is that a new template requires at least 12 words of protected data
for SL-1 telephone sets and four words for 500/2500 telephones,
whereas four extra digits use only 1 word.

(c) Use Overlay 20 of 553-300140 to m&ntain a current list of all
templates defined in the system. Consult this list whenever service
change of telephones is to be performed.

Note 2:The memory calculations for the RT (1311) machine are the

same as for the NT (1111) machine type.
The absence of Generic release indicator R4, R5, or R7 in the Version
column indicates the storage words for the associated program applies to all
Generic releases.

Package dependencies
Each Generic contains a basic feature group (always provided) to which
optional features can be added. For a complete list of the packages
available and their related package dependencies, refer to Equipment
identification and ordering (U.S.) (553-2201-153).

(2)

All outgoing calls require authorization (worst case assumption).

(3)

An additional call register is required for 20 s to hold the
authorization code.

(4)

50% of outgoing calls use the charge account feature (worst case
assumption).

(5)

An additional call register is required for 20 s to hold the charge
account.

(6)

The additional holding time of the call register for CDR purposes is 5
seconds.
.
The average number of ports used in the multiple CDR ports
feature is 2.

(8)

A call register is required for each incoming ACD trunk.

(9)

The intra-office ration R = 0 (worst case assumption).

(10) The number of originating calls = the number of terminating calls.
(11) The blocking peak of the day traffic is PO.01.
(12) The average NARVBARS call takes 20 s to dial and 20 s to complete
outpulsing and delay for answer.
(13) The average holding time of a RAN is 15 s.
(14) The average Telset Message takes 6 s to dial and 20 s to complete
outpulsing and delay for answer.
(15) The average IMS call takes 8 s to dial, 15 seconds ringing and 40 s
with message attendant. During the busy hour, 60% of tenninating
calls are unanswered, of which 50% require IMS.

Note 19 : Each DCHI consists of the following unprotected data blocks:
1. DCH U BLOCK = 43 words
44forR13andR14
_
47 for R15
2. Output request buffers = 5 x # of OTBFs
3. Output buffer = 261 words
4. Input buffer = 261 words
5. Unprotected call reference table = 2 + M
6. Unprotected message link table = - 1 + M
M is computed as follows:
(a) If PRI 111 nn is defined for the DCH link:
M=24x (max @IN)+ 1)
(b) If PRI 111 nn is not defined and the backup D-channel is defined
for the DCH link:
M=24x 2
(c) If PRI 111 nn and the backup D-channel are not defined:
M=24.
(d) If DCHI is in ISL mode:
M = maximum number of ISL trunks defined
(e) If DCHI is in SHARED mode:
M = (a) or (b) or (c) + maximum number of ISL trunks defined.
(f) PR12 ONLY: unprotected data block of 65 words.

Note 23: Two words in the attendant unprotected data block per attendant
console is required. This is accounted for in the attendant data block size.
If Enhanced usy Lamp field (BBLF) is ON, a bit is required to indicate
idle/busy status of each DN. This equals 7 (16 bit) words per hundreds
group defined.

Note 24 : Enhanced Ovefflow requires an additional 4 words per ACD DN.

Note 17: New Fletible Code Restriction (NFCR) requires the following
memory requirements:
1) A 129 word block that contains:
(a) A 128 word table that contains the pointers to the.FRL block for
each route.
(b) A pointer to the tree root address table.
2) A table that contains the pointers to the NFCR trees. Its length is defined
by the maximum number of trees (defined in the customer data block).
3 ) Four words are required for each route that has defined FRL codes.
4) Storage for customer defined trees. Amount of memory used depends
on the size of the code restriction trees the customer has defined.
It is possible to calculate an upper bound for the amount of memory that a
tree is using by applying the following formula:
..
1) The INIT condition occupies 12 words, or 14 words in R12-14.
2) For each digit sequence after the INIT condition:
(a) If the digit sequence is greater than 1 digit, memory required = (3 x
number of digits) - 4.
(b) If the digit sequence has a count field, memory required for digit
sequence increases by 1.
(c) If the digit sequence is from a BYFS, memory required for digit
sequence increases by 1.

AC power system description
This section describes the characteristics of the Meridian SL-1 system where
equipment columns are directly powered by commercial power.
The commercial power voltage is brought directly into the Pedestal Power
Distribution Unit. From there it is passed through separate wiring to the
individual modules in order to provide power to the module power supplies.
I.

Input power specifications
AC power supplies operate at a nominal 2081240 V. A typical system
operating from 208 V using four UEMs will draw 15-24 Amps, depending on
the configuration. These are fed from a central point in the pedestal, access to
these connections is provided and should be used to confirm that the line -_
voltage is within the required range as indicated in Tables 1 and 2.

Internal power distribution
Figure 3 shows the internal AC power distribution elements:
- Pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
- Module to Module Harness
- Module Power Distribution Unit (MPDU)
- Module to Backplane Harness
- AC Power Supplies
The power cables enter the Pedestal and connect to the Field Wiring Terminal
Block which is located in the Power Distribution Unit (PDU). From that
terminal block, the AC voltage passes into the Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
which has a single circuit breaker providing power to each of the four modules
and the cooling fans. The System monitor runs off a small AC Power Supply
which operates independent of the circuit breaker. Module to Module
distribution produces individual AC power to each module.

Pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
The Pedestal PDU provides the following:
- The Field Wiring Terminal Block provides a connection point for the
external wiring that is brought into the Pedestal.
- The EM1 Filter provides filtering of the wires connecting back to the
Utility in order to meet FCC and DOC requirements.
- The Main Circuit Breaker provides both a single protection device for
overload currents and a single trip device to shut down the column in the
event of a thermal overload.
- The Internal Terminal Block provides individual power hand-off points so
that each Module is independently powered from the Pedestal in order to
minimize wire size.

.

- The Power/Signal Harness provides the Power and Signal interconnections
in the Pedestal for the Blower Unit and System Monitor.
..
- The System Monitor Power Supply (a small +5V power supply) provides
power to the System Monitor, even when the main circuit breaker has
tripped.
- The Output Power Harness provides the independent power connections
from the Pedestal to the Module above it.
-

Module to Module Harness
The Module to Module Harness provides the following:
- The Module Feed provides the independent power feed(s) to the Module
above itself.
- The Module PDU Feed provides the power feed to the Module PDU.

Module Power Distribution Unit (MPDU)
The Module PDU provides the following functions:
- The Circuit Breaker provides a Module level of current protection so that a
fault on one Module will be disconnected while the other Modules remain
functional.

_.,-..-, .e-,-. -3

- The MPDU to Backplane Harness feed provides the power feed to the
backplane harness which in turn provides power to the AC Power
Supplies through the backplane power connector.

AC power system description 9

Module to Backplane Harness
The Module to Backplane Harness provides the power to the AC Power
Supplies through the backplane power connector.

AC Power Supplies
There are three different power supplies that provide power to the Peripheral
Equipment, Common Equipment and Common/Peripheral Equipment
Modules. In addition, the Ringing Generator provides ringing voltage for the
Peripheral Equipment Modules.
At each shelf, the 208/240 V ac is received through the backplane distribution
harness and converted to the necessary voltages for the individual module.
Circuit breakers are located on each MPDU to provide for safe operation and
easy maintenance.
The output voltages and currents of the power supplies are listed in Tables 3

External power distribution and ground connections

.-_

The external distribution for AC powered systems is very simple. No
additional equipment is required; simply connect to an AC source of power.
One 208 or 240 volt circuit with 30 amps protection (circuit breaker or fuse)
should be used to feed each pedestal.
Figure 4 shows the important grounding connections and the use of the ACEG
(AC Equipment Ground) or IGB (Insulated Ground Bus). For a general
discussion of the grounding philosophy, see the section “System grounding.”
Figures 5 through 8 for AC distribution in this section are shown for
connection to standard utility power. If an Uninterruptible Power System
(UPS) is used, refer to the later section on AC reserve power.

An equalizing node for the Meridian SL-1 system may be obtained through the ACEG
the AC panel. ff isolation as per NEC 384-127 (exception 1) cannot be provided,
an alternate low impedance connection to the building ground may be required.
In either case there are many constraints which must be observed. such as:

2,3 The NEC and CEC require exposed metal (Meridian 1 cabinet) be grounded by an
ACEG
Stray connections to a foreign ground will bypass the single point concept.
4.
In high rise buildings large potentials can exist between an ACEG and other
grounds including building steel.

Permanent connection to Branch Circuit When conduit or a raceway is
used it should be metal and regardless of the type, it must contain an insulated
ground wire (green), 6 AWG or larger.
Cord connection to Branch Circuit A separate safety ground is always
required when removable line cords are used for the following reasons:

- a telephone wire could contact AC elsewhere in the building while the cord
is unplugged (during installation)
- to minimize hazards from lightning transients when unplugged
- to minimize the effects of stray grounds (pedestal to floor RS-232 links to
monitors) during normal operation
The additional safety ground must be 6 AWG or larger, preferably insulated
and must be connected from the pedestal Frame Ground to the Service Panel
..
Ground Bus
One 30 Amp circuit per pedestal is required. Isolation as required by NEC
250-74 and 384-27 (Exception 1) is preferred.
Single Point Ground (SPG) and Isolated Ground Bus (IGB) The SPG in

this grounding scheme is the Equipment Grounding Terminal Bar in the AC
distribution panel (ACEG). If this bar is isolated from the distribution panel,
as is recommended, then it is referred to as an IGB. In the following figures,
the preferred method using an ACEG is illustrated.
Logic Return (LR) wiring and Logic Return Equalizer (LRE) location When
multiple columns are present or where links will be made to existing SL-1
equipment, the LRs of the different columns must be joined. See System
installation procedures (553-3001-210). An LRE (a bar or plate) in the
immediate vicinity allows the LRs to be joined to a single equalizing point. A
6 AWG conductor then connects the LRE to the IGB in the AC panel.

For these multiple column applications, the LRE is typically located in a
nearby rack, overhead trough or under a raised floor, It must be insulated
from its support structure.

Power engineering 553-3001-l 52

14

AC power system description

Note: This single point equalizing is reqmred because communication
between modules that are not in the same physical line-up would put
small amounts of DC on the AC (green wire) ground. Likewise residual
AC voltages would be superimposed (longitudinally) on the logic. There
is a only a few volts of common mode rejection capability on these lines.
Refer also to the System Grounding section later in this document.

Internal power distribution
Figure 9 shows the internal DC power distribution elements:
- Pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
- Module to Module Harness
- Module to Backplane Harness
- DC Power Converters
The power cables enter the Pedestal and connect to an internal terminal block
located in the pedestal. From there, the DC voltage enters the Power
Distribution Unit (PDU) which has five circuit breakers, one for each of the
four modules and one for the cooling fans. The System monitor runs off a
DC-to-DC converter. Module to Module distribution brings individual DC
power to each module similar to AC distribution.

Pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
The Pedestal PDU provides the following:
- The Field Wiring Terminal Block provides a connection point in the
bottom of the Pedestal for the external wiring.
- The Circuit Breakers provide individual Module protection devices for
Module overload currents and a single trip function to shut down the
Stack in the event of a thermal overload.
- The Internal Terminal Block provides individual power hand-off points so
that each Module is independently powered from the Pedestal in order to
minimize wire size.
- The Power/Signal Harness provides the Power and Signal connections in
the PDU for the Blower Unit and System Monitor.
- The System Monitor Power Supply (a small +5V DC-DC Converter)
provides power to the System Monitor, even when all of the Circuit
Breakers have been tripped.
- The Output Power Harness provides the independent power connections
from the Pedestal to the Module above it.

DC Power Converters
Three different DC Power Converters provide power to the Peripheral
Equipment, Common Equipment and Common/Peripheral Equipment
Modules. The Ringing Generator provides ringing voltage for Peripheral
Equipment Modules.
At each shelf, -48 V is received through the backplane distribution harness
and converted to the necessary voltages for the individual module. Switches
are located on each converter to provide for safe operation and easy
maintenance. With separate Module breakers located in the Pedestal PDU, theModule Power Distribution Unit (MPDU) is not necessary.

The power plants shown in the following ‘figures are typical but there are
many variations possible for the item labeled “Rect/Dist” It could be existing
customer equipment or a system that Northern Telecom either supplies or
recommends. In any case, the rectifier and @tribution equipment are
required; the batteries are optional.
Note: The NT6D52 Switched Mode Rectifier is a QRF12 mounted
within an EM1 enclosure.
In all cases it will be necessary to carefully plan ahead. Refer to the chapter
entitled “Engineering and configuration guidelines.”
Figures 10 through 13 also show the important grounding connections and the
use of the IGB (Insulated Ground Bus). For a general discussion of the
grounding philosophy, see “System grounding.”

General notes for DC figures
Permanent Connection of the rectifier(s) to Branch Circuit When conduit

This additional safety ground must be 6 AWG or larger, preferably insulated
and must be connected from the pedestal Frame Ground to the Logic Return
Equalizer (with Northern Telecom power units). With customer provided
power, the safety ground must go directly to the ACEG. See Figure 12.
It is preferred that the outlets for rectifier powering be isolated according to

Single Point Ground (SPG) and Isolated Ground Bus

(lGB) The SPG in

this grounding scheme is the AC Equipment Grounding bar in the AC
distribution panel (ACEG). If this bar is insulated from the distribution panel,
as is recommended, then it is referred to as an IGB. In the following figures,
the preferred methods for using an ACEG and an IGB are illustrated.
Logic Return (LR) wiring and Logic Return Equalizer (LRE) location

When multiple columns are present or where links will be made to existing
SL-1 equipment, the LRs of the different coiurnns must be joined. Refer to
System insfuflation procedures (553-3001-210). When using a Distribution
Unit such as the QBLlS, QCA13 and most others, the existing Battery Return
(BR) bus will serve double duty as the LRE. The logic return wire must be
run in conduit to the LRE. A 6 AWG conductor then connects the BR (LRE)
to the ACEG in the AC panel.
This single point equalizing is required because communication between
modules that are not in the same physical line-up would put small amounts of
DC on the AC (green wire) ground. Residual AC voltages would be
‘superimposed (longitudinally) on the logic. There are a only a few volts of
common mode rejection capability on these lines. Refer to “System
grounding.”
120 V receptacles and cord or conduit items in the figures are used as
required.
Junction Box

A junction box close to the pedestal may be required

depending on the wire size required between the pedestal and the distribution
point. See the chapter entitled “Power conductors.”

System grounding
Proper grounding is essential to system operation. The SL-1 system requires
a single-point ground. Proper grounding is required for trouble-free operation
and for the safety of personnel. The DC resistance of the conductor joining
the SL-1 system system ground reference to the main building ground should
be as close to zero as possible. The maximum total resistance from an SL-1
System pedestal to the main building ground cannot exceed 0.5 ohms, The
external earth ground should meet NEC/CEC requirements.
Lack of proper grounding can result in an installation that is not protected
from lightning or power related faults and does not provide an optimum path
for residual AC or DC currents. This may cause:
-.- Hazards for personnel working on or using the equipment
- Various service interruptions
- Excess noise on analog circuits

- High bit error rate on digital circuits
Note: All voice and data lines leaving or entering the SL- 1 system
which mn external to the building must have fault protectors that connect
directly to earth ground. This is not the ground being discussed here.

32 System grounding

Single Point Ground

-

This system does not, by design, require an isolated AC ground (IG) system
(although local codes may require it). The system does require a single point
ground (SPG) system. The SPG is needed because several conductors are
used as returns. These include battery returns (BR) and logic returns (LR).
Logic return is the name used to bring this particular return out of the pedestal.
But, internally, several other internal ground returns (also called analog
ground or talk battery return) are connected to the LR.
In its simplest form, the SPG may be the Isolated Ground (IG) bus or AC
Equipment Ground (ACEG) bus in the AC panel. This can be implemented if:
- The electrical code allows isolated grounds (as per NEC 384-27 exception
1. in the USA).
- This ground bar located in the AC panel has sufficient terminal points.
- There is no non isolated communication links to existing PBX or other
communication equipment.
Using an Isolated Ground bus is often a lower cost method but is not allowed
by all telcos and may be prohibited by local ordinances. An alternate ground
will be needed where an AC panel with an IG bus cannot be provided. When
an alternate SPG is used or where there are too many return conductors to
terminate on an IG bus in the AC panel, one or more ground collector nodes -may be required. A grouping of like returns, prior to attaching to the SPG
window is preferred to many long runs of smaller diameter cable. See “List
of terms” for an explanation of these ground nodes.
LRE A Logic Return Equalizing bus (copper plate or bar) is needed on multicolumn systems where the IG bus in the AC panel is:
- not being used because of local electrical code requirements
- too far removed from the pedestals being served
- too small (insufficient connection points)
- not expected to be the best ground available (for example, it is known to be
noisy or there is a more direct ground connection)
When the LRE function is served by something like an ACIG bus or the LRB
bus is also used to terminate system returns other than logic returns, there can
be confusion over terms. In general, large spread out systems require a starPower engineering 553-3001-l 52

like ground system with local ground references like the LRE and ACIG
coming together at a main ground window, while small systems tend to use a
ground bar or plate for several purposes and it ends up taking on the name of
it’s primary function.

Additional requirements
The following must also be observed to implement the single-point ground
concept:
- All ground conductors must be identified in accordance with local codes
and terminated in a manner that is permanent, resulting in low impedance
connections.
- Terminations should be accessible for inspection and maintenance during
the life of the installation.
- All grounding conductors must be continuous with no splices or junctions
and tagged, “DO not remove or disconnect.” They should alsoI. be
insulated against contact with foreign grounds.
- Grounding conductors must be no-load, noncurrent carrying cables under
normal operating conditions.
- The use of building steel as part of the ground system (in the series path)
is not recommended. However, in a steel-framed building, the SL- 1
System main ground interface must be referenced to structural steel (either on the same floor or within one floor) in order to minimize
lightning hazards.

Isolated ground topology
A dedicated Isolated Ground (IG) bus bar is required with this method. This
IG bus is located in the ac panel and serves as the ground window. It is used
for all AC (green wire) grounds as well as logic returns. It also
accommodates a conductor which references to the (+) battery bus in a DC
system. An alternate form of this isolated topology is to use one or more
isolated equalizing bars external to the AC panel but which connect to ground
exclusively through the AC IG bus.
Isolated orange outlets are required (as per h!EC 250-74 exception 4).
Grounding conductors shall be routed with the phase conductors (Article
300-20). All ground wiring for IG receptacles are to be terminated on the
dedicated IG bus according to applicable codes (complies with NEC 384-27).

34 System grounding

Non-isolated ground topology
In a non isolated system the AC equipment ground (ACEG) connects to the
metal panel, and the associated conduit may also contact various structural
metal. This ground alone is not adequate for the SL-1 system. A true SPG
system will not be possible, but a dedicated ground conductor which connects
to the main building ground is then used for the main ground window to
terminate logic returns and reference the (+) battery bus. Frame grounds will
connect to the ACEG.

requirements, for both AC and DC systems

Circuit pack power consumption
The power consumption of all currently-supported peripheral equipment
circuit cards is given in Tables 12 and 13.
All of the power data is stated in Watts for simplicity, with conversion to-AC
or DC current occurring only at the last step in the calculation. In addition, all
of the stated numbers have already taken the average efficiency of the Module
power converters into account.
The traffic assumptions used in these figures are 25% active (9 CCS) for
digital and analog lines, and 100% active (36 CCS) for trunks. Note that the
power consumption of digital line cards does not vary greatly with traffic, as it
may with analog line cards.

Module power consumption
The typical and worst case power consumption data for each fully configured
module are shown in Table 14.
The “typical power” data is generally adequate for use in .system power
engineering calculations, since it is representative of most systems with
Modules fully loaded (configured) with cards, and under moderate traffic
conditions.
The “maximum power” dam is shown for reference and planning purposes
when needed, and was calculated for each module based on a fully-loaded
card cage, in the worst-possible operational configuration (in terms of power
consumption), with each card consuming typical power, plus 10% added
margin. For example, the maximum power consumption for the NT8D37
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Module was based on a configuration of
sixteen NT8D14AA Universal Trunk cards, all under 100% traffic conditions,
along with a Controller card and additional power margin.

Operating power requirements

System power calculation guidelines
The SL- 1 system was designed so that there would be no restrictions as a
result of power or thermal limitations. In other words, any card can go in any
slot, and all modules can be filled to capacity with any (logically) valid
combination of cards, with no engineering rules. _

.-i’

Two system power calculation methods are shown below. For configuring
rectifiers as well as configuring reserve power, it is recommended to use
typical current drain values.

“Wired-for” method
This method is based simply on the number of modules and columns in the
system, regardless of how many cards are initially equipped. This method will
insure that the external power supply will have adequate capacity under all
conditions and all possible growth scenarios within the modules installed.
Using Worksheet A, simply enter the quantity of each module, multiply by the
power per module, and add up the total power. To calculate the current drain,
divide by the nominal voltage. AC current is calculated by dividing 230 V ac
nominal. DC current is calculated by dividing 52 V dc nominal. Both typical
and maximum current may be calculated.

“As-equipped” method

.-

This method provides a way to tailor the system power supply more closely to
the actual power consumption of the system as installed. The method is to
take the Common Equipment power consumption as a constant, then add the
power consumption for the actual PE cards equipped (or planned) from Tables
12 and 13.
Using Worksheet B and C, enter the quantity of each circuit pack, multiply by
the power per card, and add up the total power. Enter these numbers into
Worksheet D, and follow the same steps used above. AC current is calculated
by dividing 230 V ac nominal. DC current is calculated by dividing 52 V dc
nominal. Both typical and maximum current may be calculated.

Notes on AC vs. DC systems
To calculate current drain at values other than the nominal values given in the
worksheets, simply divide by the desired nominal value. For example,
208 V ac or 42 V dc.

For calculations normally done in apparent or complex power (such as AC
wire and panel size, UPS rating for AC reserve power, etc.), simply divide the
total real power (in Watts) by the typical system power factor of 0.6 to obtain
the complex power (in VA).

Upgrades to existing itistallations
Total power consumption of an installed system can be determined in several
different ways. Two methods are listed below, in order of decreasing
accuracy.
- Measure current drain for the complete installation over at .least a twoweek period under actual operating conditions. Determine peak current
drain from these measurements.
- Measure idle (or near idle) current dram for the complete installation.
Estimate peak current drain by multiplying the number of idle amperes by
1.5.
When adding or upgrading equipment, use either of these methods to
determine existing current drain/power consumption. Use the guideline in this
document to determine the added power consumption. The existing power
plant may have to be replaced or its capacity increased to accommodate the
additional power requirements. As always, be sure to provide sufficient __
capacity to accommodate planned growth of the SL-1 System.
Upgrades to existing systems may use either AC or DC equipment. Existing
capacity, reserve power requirements, and available floor space are some of
the factors to consider.

Thermal

considerations

The maximum power dissipation in the form of heat for each UEM is listed in
Table 15. These figures apply to both AC and DC powered systems. The
power figures listed here are different than those shown in previous tables for
system power consumption, since some of the power, especially for peripheral
equipment, is distributed out to the loops and sets and is not dissipated within
the UEM itself. Table 16 shows the maximum heat dissipation for some of
the external DC power equipment supplied by Northern Telecom.

Reserve power
Reserve power is available for both AC and DC systems. AC reserve power is
provided by a separate Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), installed in series
with the main system AC power feed. A UPS generally consists of a
combination battery charger (AC-DC converter) and inverter (DC-AC
converter), along with its associated batteries. The batteries may be internal or
external to the UPS unit itself.
I.
DC systems use the “traditional” telecommunications powering method of an
external power plant consisting of rectifiers (AC-DC converters) continuously
charging a bank of batteries, while the system power rails “float” in parallel on
the battery voltage.

--

AC reserve power

There are a wide variety of UPS vendors and systems available. Some of the
factors to consider when choosing a UPS are:
- Input and output voltage and frequency range
- Number and type of output receptacles
- Regulatory and safely agency approvals
- Efficiency, crest factor, and other performance considerations
- Alarm and status indications
- Battery recharge time
- Backup time required
-Existing batteries or other power equipment at the site
- Planned system growth

Power engineering 553-3001-l 52

48 Reserve power

UPS sizing
Since power distribution for AC systems is provided on a per-column basis,
partial system backup is available for all system options, thus reducing
reserve power requirements. In other words, it is possible to back up all of the
common equipment, but only a portion of the peripheral equipment, reducing
both UPS and battery costs.
Even if it is desired to back up the entire system, the per-column powering
allows the choice of provisioning one UPS per column, one UPS for the entire
system (all columns), or any combination.

In order to determine the siie of UPS needed, the total system (or column)
power requirements are first determined as in the previous section “Operating
power requirements.” The real power in Watts (W) is then converted to
complex or “apparent” power in Volt-Amps (VA) by dividing the real power
by the typical system power factor of 0.6. The UPS is then sized in terms of
.
its rating in VA (or kVA).
The sizing and provisioning of the UPS batteries will be determined by
following the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the UPS
that has been selected. The general approach, however, is to take the total
system power in Watts, divide by the UPS inverter efficiency, and convert to
battery current drain by dividing by the nominal discharge voltage of the
__
battery string. The battery current drain is then multiplied by the time that is
needed for the reserve power to operate to determine the battery requirements
in Amp-hours (A-hrs).

Recommended UPS vendors and models
As of the publication date of this document, the following UPS systems have
been tested by Northern Telecom and verified to work with the SL-1 system.
These vendors and models meet high standards of both quality and
functionality and are recommended to be used with the SL-1.
This list may change at any time in the future. Other UPS vendors may have
products which work fine with SL-1 systems, and the vendors listed here may
have other models and sizes that are also suitable. In particular, there are UPS
systems larger than 10 kVA available that could be used with some of the
larger system option 71 configurations.

Installation
For UPS installation information, refer to the appropriate UPS vendor
installation manual. It is recommended, however, that a UPS bypass switch
be installed during the initial wiring if this switch function is not inherently a
part of the UPS itself. The UPS bypass switch allows for the PBX to be run
directly from commercial AC power while the UPS is taken off line during
installation or service, or during battery maintenance.

CAUTION
Proper care must be taken when connecting the DC battery leads to
the UPS. A battery reversal at the UPS can result in severe damage
to the UPS.

DC reserve power

-

Reserve power for DC systems can be provided simply by adding batteries to
the external distribution. The reserve battery capacity is determined by
multiplying the system current drain by the time that is needed for the reserve
power to operate. This will determine the total Ampere-Hour requirements of
the batteries. Refer to Worksheets A through D.
The following guidelines should be used in determining DC reserve power
requirements.
Current required
When considering battery backup you should know with reasonable accuracy
the total system power requirement.
For new installations, Northern Telecom provides the operating company
with data listing the total current drain for each configured system. A
rectifier and distribution panel which has the capacity to meet these current
drain figures, and some added capacity to charge batteries can then be
selected. For existing instahations, the total current dram of an installed
system can be calculated in several ways. Refer to “Operating power
requirements” for more information.
The amount of reserve battery capacity depends on the system line size (load),
the time the reserve supply must last in the event of power failure, and the
battery end voltage.
Batteries
Reserve batteries for a DC powered SL- 1 system must meet the following
requirements as defined in Table 19.

Not all sealed cells require equalization, but the equalization voltage can be
used for fast charging.
Batteries to be used with the SL-1 should be sized by using an end voltage of
4IV.

Engineering and configuration guidelines
Configuring the Meridian 1 power system requires attention to the following
points:
- Both AC and DC-powering are available.
- The AC power supply or DC-DC Converter that is used in a particular
module is virtually identical as far as external configuration purposes
are
I.
concerned.
- Equipment Module power and cooling criteria are also the same for both
AC and DC.
- A wide variety of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are
available for AC-powered Meridian 1 systems that require reserve poxer.
- AC-powered systems, suited for those applications that do not need reserve
power, require no external power components and connect directly to
utility power.
- All DC systems can be configured as complete systems, with rectifiers
provided by Northern Telecom. They can also be configured to connect
to customer-provided external power.
AC and DC powering schemes differ primarily in the external power
components (external, that is, to the Equipment Modules themselves).
The choice of which powering scheme to use is determined mainly by reserve
power requirements and preferences, and by the existing power equipment at
the site.

Engineering and configuration guidelines

AC power architecture ^
The internal AC power system consists of the following main elements:
- Pedestal Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
- Module Power Distribution Unit (MPDU)

_

- AC Power Supplies
No arbitrary selection of these components is required - they are included
automatically in the System functional determination process.
There are three different AC power supplies that provide power to all of the
common equipment, peripheral equipment, and combined common/peripheral
equipment modules, as well as a ringing generator that provides AC ringing
(and message waiting lamp voltages) when required for the peripheral
equipment modules.
No additional external power components are required for AC-powered ‘.
systems. Reserve power, if needed, is accomplished through the use of an
external Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Commercial power and grounding requirements
Commercial power source The commercial power source refers to the main
AC utility power feed, for either AC-powered or DC powered systems. For
AC systems, this power is wired directly to the system. For DC systems, this
power source would connect to the rectifiers, which would convert
to -48V dc for distribution to the system.
.

In North America, the power supplied can be either 208Y or 240 V ac
nominal. Three phase is not required but single power feeds from alternate
phases would be normal practice where three phase power is available. The
following Table shows the exact input voltage range:

All power feeds used should contain a separate safety conductor (green wire).
Northern Telecom strongly recommends that the supply conductors be
dedicated and uninterrupted from a building primary source to a dedicated
equipment room sub-panel.
Power sub-panel Power sub-panels must meet the following requirements
or be modified when used for the Meridian 1:

- Panels should be located in the equipment room.

Power engineering 553-3001-l 52

.u

Engineering and configuration guidelines 65

- No lighting, air conditioning, heating, generators or motors shall be
serviced from this equipment room panel.
- In areas where isolated ground systems are permissible, this panel will
provide sufficient ground connection points on the isolated ground plate
or bar to handle the AC circuit grounds as well as the other ground
reference conductors associated with the Meridian 1.
Service receptacles One dedicated outlet per pedestal (column) is a typical
requirement for AC systems that are cord connected. For DC systems, or if
reserve power is being used, the receptacles or conduit will serve the
centralized rectifiers cr UPS system directly, with power then routing to the
columns.

Unless otherwise specified, these circuits should be rated for 30 Amps. All
circuits must be:
- Wired and fused independently of all receptacles.

I.

- Tagged at the power panel to prevent unauthorized interruption of power.
- Not controlled by a switch
The NEMA receptacle types are as follows:
- Isolated Ground systems:

IG-L6-30

- Non-Isolated Ground systems:

L6-30

-

System grounding requirements Proper grounding is essential to troublefree system operation and the safety of personnel. The Meridian 1 has several
different grounds and signal returns that are generally referred to as grounds:
logic return, battery return (for DC systems), AC “green wire” ground (in AC
systems), and the personal hazard equipment ground.

_

.-:

The Meridian 1 does not, by design, need an AC Isolated Ground (IG) system
(though this may be required by local codes), but it does need a single point
ground system. This means that each of the various grounds, from each of the
columns, should terminate at a single connection point before attaching to the
actual ground reference at the main AC panel or transformer. The singlepoint ground may be implemented either by the use of the Isolated Ground bus
in the AC panel, or by a separate logic return equalizing bus for battery
returns, frame grounds, and logic returns where a non-isolated AC system is
used.
Power

engineering

553-3001-152

66 Engineering and configuration guidelines

The following must also be-observed to implement the single-point ground:
- All ground conductors must conform to local codes and terminate in a
manner that is permanent, resulting in low impedance connections.
- All terminations should be accessible for inspection and maintenance.
- All grounding conductors must be continuous with no splices or junctions
and tagged “WARNING - Ground Connection - Do not remove or
disconnect.”
- Conductors should be insulated against contact with foreign grounds.
- Grounding conductors must be no-load, non-current carrying cables under
normal operating conditions.
- The use of building steel as part of the ground system is not recommended.
The DC resistance of the system ground reference wire from the I to the
building ground should be as close to zero as possible with the maximum total
resistance on all runs, within the building, not to exceed 0.5 ohms. The ‘.
insulated grounding wire size shall conform to the National Electric Code
(NEC) 250-294,250-295 and sections 310-316 (equivalent CSA requirements
when used in Canada).

Wire size calculation guidelines
Determining wire gauges to connect a pedestal to a rectifier or other external
distribution hardware is a very simple procedure, but it can be tedious if a lot
of external components are involved. A programmable calculator or computer
can help if it is going to be done often.

Too many wire gauges delivered to a site can cost more money than

The method
Using the maximum current in a conductor, determine the length that the
conductor must be (remember that the vertical portions are sometimes longer
than the horizontal portion) in order to meet the required maximum voltage
drop.

Power engineering 553-3001-l 52

68 Power conductors

The formula
The following formula may be used to calculate the minimum wire size in
Circular Mils (CM) required to connect any two points knowing current,
distance and the desired drop for a specific cable:
CM= 11.1x Ix D/V
where:

CM = wire size required in Circular Mils
I = current in amps (use the maximum expected)
D = distance in feet
V = Allowable voltage drop.

Typical wire values

The following are typical values for circular mils and nominal maximum
current for some of the more common wire sizes.

CAUTION
Although 0.25/0.5/1.0 volts is the maximum drop allowed, the
insulation and temperature rating vs current will often dictate a wire
size that will create smaller voltage drops on short lengths. After
using the formula, consult wire tables to ensure that the temperature
rise is acceptable.

-

Examples
The following three examples show how to make wire size calculations.
1. A Bat or BR conductor from the QBLl5 to a pedestal is 18 feet long and
must carry a maximum of 36 Amps:
Using CM= 11.1x

Ix D/V

CM = 11.1 x 36 x 18/0.5 = 14385.6

Choosing a standard gauge equal to or larger than this will mean 8 AWG
which has a cross section of 16510 CM.
Up to 40 amps is allowable with 8 AWG even when the insulation is rated
only 20 degrees C above the expected maximum ambient temperature.

Power engineering 553-3001-l 52

70 Power conductors

2 . A Bat or BR conductor from the QBLl5 to the Battery is 25 feet long and
must carry a maximum of 70 Amps:
Using CM= 11.1x

Ix D/V

CM = 11.1.x 70 x 25/0.5 = 38850

Choosing a standard gauge equal to or larger than this will mean 4 AWG
which has a cross section of 41740 CM.
3. Example of the “Caution Note” for short distances - a Bat or BR conductor
from the QBLl5 to the Rectifier is only 4 feet long and must carry a
maximum of 25 Amps:
Using CM= 11.1x

Ix D/V

CM= 11.1x25x4/0.5 =2220

Choosing a standard gauge equal to or larger than this will mean 16 AWG
which has a cross section of 2600 CM.
.
But, 16 AWG is nominally rated for only 13 Amps. In this case, 12 AWG
which is rated at 25 Amps (but with only a 0.17 V drop over the 4 feet) is
required.
Sense lead wire size
The loop resistance of the wire used to connect the f Sense terminals to the
TBC of the QBL12 to the +- terminals of the customer-provided batteries must
not exceed 2.5 ohms.
Simplified chart
Table 22 provides a simple means for determining the wire size between the
distribution box and the pedestal.
Table 22 takes into account the two constraints of wiring into the pedestal.
- The loop voltage drop from the distribution point to the pedestal cannot
exceed 2 V.
- The five wires (two BAT/BR pairs plus a logic return ) must physically fit
inside a 3/4 inch conduit.
Additionally, the table assumes that the worst case current drain does not
exceed 60 Amps per column. Other wire gauges can/should be used if the

column draws more or less than 60 Amps. Consult a wire handbook for
precise calculations.
There are four options available for bringing wire into the pedestal:
Single conduit One 3/4 inch conduit access.
Dual conduit Two 3/4 inch conduit accesses.
Junction box (single 4 AWG) A junction box can be used to interface to one
of the 3/4 inch conduit access points in the pedestal. Single runs of #4 AWG
per feed are used between the junction box and the distribution point.
Junction box (double 4 AWG) This is the same as the case above, but double
runs of #4 AWG per feed are used between the junction box and the
distribution point.

The Spares planning guide provides all the information necessary for the
calculation and planning of spares (replaceable) items and provides failure
rates for the SL-1 hardware.
The success of a maintenance program depends largely on the availability of
an adequate stock of replaceable items. To ease maintenance and system
reliability, follow the procedures given here for calculating spares stocks.
Spares requirements can be calculated to service SL-1 systems from a single
depot (repair house) or a centralized depot serving subdepots. Read on for
more information.
This document has been updated to include new naming conventions. Since
the SL-1 is available in both AC and DC versions, the Product Engineering
Code (PEC) is given, in some cases, for both AC and DC power options.
The failure rates of some items may not appear in this release.
Note: Running the SL-1 system at lower temperature levels will
increase the life expectancy of the components and improve overall
system reliability.

Spares planning
Definitions and assumptions
Failure rate-Failure rate equals the estimated number of failures for that
item during one million (106) hours of operation. The only exception is to
measurements for cabling or other items with low failure rates. Rates are
also measured in Failures in Time (FIT) measurements. One FIT equals one
..
billion (109) hours of operation.
Sparing interval-The sparing interval is the period of time that stocks of
replaceable items should last without being replenished. This period is
assumed to be one year following the installation of the system.
_Stock confidence level-The stock confidence level is the allowed
probability of not being out of stock when the sparing interval of one year is
greater than 99.9 percent.
Pack ambient temperature-The pack ambient temperature is the average
temperature of the air immediately surrounding the circuit pack (usually
higher than the ambient room temperature). Pack failure rates in this
document are based on a pack ambient temperature of 40’ C.

2 Definitions and assumptions

Turnaround time for rep&r-The turnaround time for the return to stock
of a failed item is about 10 working days (240 hours) from a repair house.

Actual turnaround periods Will vary in the field. As the number of systems
served increases, the percentage of replaceable items required for stock is
reduced. (See Figure 3.)

In Field (Thousands)

Population range-Population range is the quantity of each type of SL-1
switch in the area served by the depot.
Spare stock size-The quantity of spares for a given stock item depends on
the sparing interval, stock confidence level, failure rate, turnaround time for
repair, and population range.

Calculating spares requirements
Replaceable items and their associated failure rates are listed in this
document. Quantities of spares required to stock a depot for the one-year
sparing interval can be calculated by following the procedures. Table 1
translates the NPT values to the number of spares required for that item.
The following values are used:
N-The number of a spares item in use.
F-The failure rate for a particular spares item.
T-The turnaround time for repairing a failed spares item in hours.
Procedure 1 explains how to calculate the quantities of spares required to
stock a depot for the one-year sparing interval:

Procedure 1
Determining spares quantities to stock
interval

a depot for the one-year sparing

1

Determine the number (N) of in-service specified circuit packs serviced
by the depot.

2

Determine the pack failure rate (F) for the specified circuit pack in the
Spares planning guide. (See Note 1 below.)

3

Determine turnaround time

4

Calculate the NFT value by multiplying N x F x T.

5

Determine the number of spares required by using the NFT values in
Table 4.

(T) in hours. (See Note 2 below.)

Note I: Pack failure rates are expressed in terms of the number of
failures per million hours.
Note 2: For a single depot or repair house service, turnaround timeis
typically 10 working days or 240 hours. For a centralized depot
service, it is typically two days or 48 hours.
For example:
A single depot services 10,000 Peripheral Equipment Power Supply (PE
Pwr Sup) (AC-NT8DO6AA) (DCNT6D41AB) packs. From the failure
rates listed in Table 2, the failure rate for this pack is 1.84 failures per one
million hours. If the turnaround time for a single depot is 48 hours, then:
NFT= 10,000 x

1.84
WWOO

x 48 = 0.8832

From the NIT values in Table 1, the number of spares required for NFT
value 0.8832 = 6. See Table 1.

General
The selection of a system option that best meets individual requirements is
determined by the following factors:
- Number and type of terminal devices required
- Number and type of trunks required
- Traffic requirements for lines, trunks and consoles
- Special features required
- Growth forecast in terms of ports and features
Refer to System engineering (553-3001-151) and Power engineering
(553-3001-152) to determine the proper system requirement.

.-

Equipment packages
There are various equipment packages available to provide basic systems.
Information on these packages can be obtained from a Northern Telecom
sales office.

Conversion and expansion packages
In addition to the basic equipment packages, there are conversion and
expansion packages available to upgrade existing systems. Contact a
Northern Telecom sales office for details.

Equipment

availability

-

The equipment listed in this Northern Telecom Publication is available
through Northern Telecom. Equipment may not be available in all market
areas and may be discontinued at any time. Contact a Northern Telecom
sales office for equipment availability.

Special features
Special features are purchased as options to the basic system. These
features may consist of software or hardware only, or both. Those special
features that include hardware (e.g., the Data Feature, Call Detail
Recording, Caller’s Name Display and Remote Peripheral Equipment) are
described in separate Northern Telecom Publications which include
ordering information.

Product coding
.
With the application of Modular Documentation System (MDS) by
Northern Telecom, the product code takes on a new form but does contain
similar attributes as the apparatus system (QPC code). Figure l-l provides
a comparison of the old and the new product codes.
The primary difference between the two systems is that the modular code is
of a constant length (eigth characters) and the suffix is defined as family
member. The “release number” and “series” are incremented as change is
applied to the product.

Universal Equipment Modules and
packaging
Universal Equipment Modules (UEMs) are self-contained equipment
modules which house system components such as card cages, circuit cards,
power units, mass storage units, and cabling.
Each UEM is approximately 80 cm (31.5 in.) wide, 52.1 cm (20.5 in.) deep
(55.9 cm (22.0 in.) with covers), and 43.2 cm (17 in.) high. The weight of a
UEM is approximately 21.8 kg (48 lbs) empty, including the top, bottom,
sides, side trim panels, card cage, Input/Output (I/O) panel, and
miscellaneous hardware.
All UEMs are equipped with a card cage assembly and a cover assembly.
Refer to Circuit puck installation and testing (553-3001-211) for the
identification and location of the different cards within each UEM.
A UEM that is populated with various hardware components is referred to
as a module. The different types of modules available are described in this
chapter.
Also described in this chapter are the main components of a system option
which can be ordered as a separate package. These components are the Top
Cap, the card cages, the pedestal, the Spacer Kit, and the Module Covers.

Cabling
The cables are differentiated by the cabling method used. Two types of
cables are available.
Intra-UEM cables are cables that connect to different cards within a UEM,
or cables that go to the I/O connector panels at the rear of the UEM.
Intra-UEM cables are not shielded. These cables arc typically round and
use bail locks or screws to prevent accidental removal.
Inter-UEM cables are cables that are routed internally between UEMs.
These cables are used primarily for interconnecting the following
subsystems together:
- CPU toCPU

.-

- CPU to Network
- Network to Network
- Network to Peripheral Equipment
All of the faceplate connectors use a go-degree cable egress and all of the
backplane connectors use a 180-degree cable egress.

NOTES
Note:

This module is reissued to change the minimum loop length requirement to
100 ft. and to add metric equivalents.
(I) Cable pair selections must meet the following requirements:
l AC signal loss must be less than 12.9 dB at 256 kHz due to all sources
l
DC loop resistance must be less than 175 Ohm
l Minimum loop length (mainframe bulkhead to telephone) of 30 m (100 ft)
l Near end crosstalk coupling loss >38dB at NyTuist frequency of 256 kHz
(not an issue for typical 22, 24, and 26 AWG twisted pair cable)
l No bridge taps are permitted
l No loading coils are permitted
e Protection devices of the carbon-block and gas-filled type are permitted
if the off-state shunting impedance is better than 10 Megohm resistive,
and less than 0.5.pF capacitive.
(2) The following criteria have to be met where undercarpet cabling is used.
l characteristic impedance at 256 ~Hz, 100 f 10 Ohm
l insertion loss at 256 Wz, < 4.6 dB/kft
l next pair-to-pair coupling loss at 256 kHz, > 40 dB
(3) For the typical system of 22, 24, or 26 AWG standard twisted pair cable,
the requirements translate to the following allowable loops.
..
l up to 915 m (3000 ft) of 22 or 24 AWG cable
l up to 640 m (2100 ft) of 26 AWG cable
(4) If selected cable pair does not work satisfactorily. select another cable
pair using the following flowchart (Page 2):

SELECT A LOOP

NOTES
0.01 The requirements for a Meridian Digital Telephone are that the loop be
without bridge taps, and be less than 175 Ohm dc resistance. and less than 12.0 dB
loss at 256 kHz. For a single gauge cable, the-length limits are 3000 ft for 22 and
24 AWG cable and D inside wiring, and 2100 ft for 26 AWG cable.

0.02 The allowable loop length assumes that there is no under-carpet cable. If
there is under-carpet cable of a type that is different from Western Electric
4-pair cable, reduce the allowable loop length using the following equation:
. LM = I12 -(UC x UL) 1 /LL
where
LM = loop length limit in km (kftl (excluding the length of the under-carpet
cable).
LL = loop loss in dB/km (dB/Kftl at 256 kHz.
UC = length of the under-carpet cable in km (kft).

..

UL = loss of the under-carpet cable in dB/km (dB/kftl at 256 kHz. Refer to
Table 1006-B for dB-values.

CALCULATE DC LOOP RESISTANCE
STEP

1

PROCEDURE

Calculate the dc loop resistance by adding the resistance of each cable section. Calculate
the resistance of each cable section using the following formula (Cable resistances are
given in Table 1002-A.):
LRi = CRi X SLi
where:

2

l

LRi = dc resistance for cable section “i”

l

CRi = conductor resistance per unit length for the cable section “i”

l

SLi = length of cable section “i”

Add the total of all cable sections. If the total of all sections exceeds 175 Ohm, select
another loop.
Note: The loop resistance limit of 175 Ohm must be reduced by 1 Ohm for each 1%
.of the loop which is aerial cable.

MEASURE IMPULSE NOISE
STEP

1

PROCEDURE

Measure impulse noise on selected lines during busy hours. Use an NE-58B Noise
measurement set, or equivalent.
Note:
The termination and weighting filter required are 135 Ohm and 100 kHz
respectively. and the blanking interval 25 microseconds.

2

Using Figure 1004-L Determine that for a given loop loss and noise threshold, the impulse
noise counts per 15 minutes are below the corresponding curve.
The values in Figure 1004-l were derived assuming the counter has a count
rate of 512 pulses per second.
Note:

Due to the inaccuracy of the Noise Measuring Set, it is possible that
additional errors may occur during the blanking interval and the reading will
..
consequently be lower than actual.

STEP

1

PROCEDURE

Collect loop makeup data between the line card and the terminal, For each cable section,
the data required is:
the cable type (PIG or pulp)
gauge
length
type of plant construction (underground. aerial, inbuilding)
Calculate individual cable section losses using the figures in Tables 1006-A. 1006-B,
..
1006-C. and the following equation.
CSLi = SLi x Li

3

l

CSLi = cable section loss for section “i”.

l

SLi = section length of section “i”.

l

Li = loss per unit length for section “i”.

--

Correct individual cable section losses for maximum cable temperature using the following
equation.
TCLi = CSLi x TCFi
l

TCLi = temperature corrected loss for section “i”

l

TCFi = temperature correction factor for section “i”

CORRECTION

FACTORS

Aerial Cable TCF = 1.1
Underground cable TCF = 1.04
Inbuilding cable TCF = 1
4

Determine junction loss. (Figure 1006-l)
Junction loss due to gauge discontinuity of outside plant cables and D-inside
wire varies between 0.03 dB and 0.07 dB and can be ignored. However, AMP 25-pair
under-carpet wiring has a characteristic impedance of 40 Ohm at 256 kHz and its
junction loss is approximately 2 dB. This must be included in the calculation.
Note:

EXAMPLE
Section 1:

Mainframe bulkhead to DFl - 500m. 26 AWG PIC, underground
Section

AND

2:

DFl to DF2 - 200m. 26 AWG PIC, inside
Section 3:

DF2 to terminal - 24 AWG NT D-inside
Therefore:

SLl = 0.5km, SL2 = 0.2km, SL3 = O.lkm
From Tables 1006A and 1006C:

Ll = 13.7 dB/km. L2 = 13.7 dB/km. L3 = 13.3 dB/km.
Using the equation in Step 2 we arrive at:

CSLl = 6.85 dB, CSL2 = 2.74 dB, and CSL3 = 1.33 dB
Temperature

Corrections:

Using correction factors of TCFl = 1.04. TCF2 and TCF3 = 1. and
using the equation in Step 3 results in TCLl = 7.12 dB.
TLC2 = 2.14 dB, and TCL3 = 1.33 dB.
EPL Value:

Neglecting any junction loss per explanation in Step 4.
Step 5 results in an EPL value of:
TSLl + TSL2 + TSL3 + 0 = 11.19 dB.
This is under the I2 dB limit and meets the criteria.

3. DTI LOSS TABLES

+I

3.01 Tables 3-A through 3-D provide the insertion loss specifications of
the SL-1 Business Communications System when it is equipped with a
QPC472 Digital Trunk Interface (DTI).
3.02 The insertion loss for connections between analog ports of the
SL-1 and the DTl or beteween DTI ports is connection-specific in
order to be compatible with end-to-end network connection loss
requirements. SL-1’ connection loss specifications are in agreement with
U.S. and Canadian standards which are formulated to provide
satisfactory transmission on connections between switches in a *private
network and between a private network and the public network. (EIA
Communications Interim Standard. CIS-4 (U.S.); Department of
Communications Standard CS-03 (Canada).) This formulation is based
on the use Qf a fixed loss plan for digital portions of these connections.
As a result. certain connections through the SL-1 are asymmetrical: this
asymmetry is resolved at the far end of the connection.
3.03 Tie trunk connections to a satellite PBX require different loss
treatment than non-satellite Lie trunks. The insertion loss for satellite
tie trunk connections is given in Tables 3-C and 3-D. Loss values
associated with tie trunks in Tables 3-A and 3-B should not be applied
..
to satellite PBX tie trunk connections.
Note: In this NTP. “satellite” denotes a PBX which homes on a
main PBX and does not have a directorv number for incoming
calls: satellite tie trunks are trunks connecting such a PBX to the
main PBX. There is no explicit or implied reference to facilities
usuing satellite (i.e.. space vehicle) circuits.
3.04 In these tables. the notation “1000 Hz Insertion Loss” refers to a
sinusoidal signal having a frequency between 1000 and 1020 Hzrthe
value of 1004 Hz has been standardized in the telephone industry in
order to avoid frequency beating of an exact 1000 Hz signal in the
presence of PCM carrier systems.

General information
The NT8DO2AA Digital Line Card (Dgtl LC) is based on the design of the
QPC578 Integrated Services Digital Line Card. See 553-2201-193 for a
complete description of the QPC578. The Dgtl LC is a voice and data
communication link between the Meridian SL-1 switch and modular digital
telephones. When a digital telephone is equipped with the data option, an
asynchronous ASCII terminal or PC can be connected to SL-1 System
.through the digital telephone.
The Dgtl LC supports voice only or simultaneous voice and data service
over a single twisted pair of standard telephone wiring.
This publication describes the Dgtl LC. New naming conventions are
_applied to this document.
For more information on modular digital telephones, see 553-2201-110 and
553-2201-l 11 for the M2000 series telephones, 553-2201-115 for the
M3000 telephone, and 553-2201- 113 for the M23 17 telephone.

Requirements
To use the Dgtl LC, the following SL- 1 requirements must be met:
- Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) Modules must be used
- Generic Xl 1, Release 15 software must be running
- Superloops must be defined in the software

Description
The NT8DO2AA Digital Line Card (Dgtl LC) is equipped with 16 identical
line circuits housed within an NTSD37AA Intelligent Peripheral Equipment
Module (IPE). Each line circuit provides a multiplexed voice, data, and
signaling path to and from digital apparatus over a a-wire full duplex 5 12
KHz Time Compression Multiplexed (KM) digital link.

.

Meridian SL-1 data block

Each digital telephone and each associated data terminal is assigned a
separate Terminal Number (TN) in the SL-1 System data base.

Physical
Dgtl LC circuitry is contained on a 320 mm (12.5 in.) by 254 mm (10 ii%)
double-sided printed circuit board The pack connects to the backplane via
a 120-pin edge connector.
The faceplate of the Dgtl LC (7/S in. wide) snaps in place on the front of
the pack and is equipped with a red LED which lights only when the pack is
disabled. Upon power-up, the DgtI LC resets and the red LED will turn off
after the Dgtl LC is enabled. The card provides self-identification and fault
detection.
For information on the Mean Time Between Failure rate for the Dgtl LC,
see Spares Planning (553-3001-153).

2. DESCRIPTION

FUNCTlONS

2.01 The SL-1 and console line circuit packs each contain eight line
circuits (see Fig. 2-l). The SL-1 line pack can use all eight circuits,
each circuit interfacing to an SL-1 set. The console line pack uses pairs
of line circuits to interface to attendant consoles: one pair may be used
from the upper four circuits and one pair from the lower four to
interface to two consoles.
Line circuits on the SL-1 line pack are automatically
powered up during signaling and transmission. The connected
circuit pairs on the console line pack are continuously powered on.
Note:

2.02 For SL-1 set connections. one pair of wires is used for+
transmission and a second pair for signaling (see Fig. 2-2). For
attendant console connections, two pairs of wires are used for
transmission connections and two pairs for signaling connections. These
connec Lions:
(a) terminate the loop tip and ring conductors with a balanced
600-ohm termination:
(b) provide ~15 V power, phantomed over the transmission and
signaling pairs, to the set or console terminals:
(c) provide a measure of isolation of foreign potentials on the loop
from portions of the transmission and signaling circuitry;
(d) convert from the 2-wire transmission path of the loop to a 4-wire
transmission path:
(e) provide analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion _qf
transmission signals.
2.03 The circuit pack includes two common multiplexing circuits to:
(a) interface the individual line circuits with the peripheral bus
signaling channel:
(b) retime digital signals received from the peripheral bus;
(c) decode address information received from the peripheral bus and
enable individual line circuits during selected time slots.
2.04 The information and signaling relevant to the SL-1 set or console
passes through the line circuit pack and is multiplexed with information
from other circuit packs. A multiplex loop connects the input and
output of up to two Peripheral Equipment (PE) shelves to the Common
Equipment (CE) where switching takes place (see Fig. 2-2 and 2-3).

5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
FOREIGN AND SURGE
VOLTAGE PROTECTION

5.01 When telephone lines connected to the line circuit are exposed to
foreign voltages by direct contact or induction (e.g., power line crosses
or lightning), protection devices must be installed on the customer’s
premises. These devices must be capable of providing a path to ground
from tip to ring for foreign voltages that exceed 600 V peak.

OVERLOAD LEVEL

5.02 Signal levels exceeding +7 dBm applied to the tip and ring will
cause distortion in the system.

2.03 The 80-pin connector plugs into an IO-line bus system on the back
of the PE shelf. These 80 bus lines feed into seven multi-pin
connectors. Seven connectors link the line circuits to the cross-connect
terminal; ttio faceplate connectors on the Peripheral Buffer link the PE
shelves to each other and to the Common Equipment (CE); and one
connector feeds power to the PE from the converter shelf.
