When installing line cards, follow these general procedures:
•

Configure the jumpers and switches on the line card (if any) to meet
system needs.

•

Install the line card into the selected slot.

•

Install the cable that connects the backplane connector on the IPE
module to the module I/O panel.

•

Connect a 25-pair cable from the module I/O panel connector to the Main
Distribution Frame (MDF).

•

Connect the line card output to the selected terminal equipment at the
MDF.

•

Configure the individual line interface unit using the Analog (500/
2500-type) Telephone Administration program LD 10 for analog line
interface units and Multi-line Telephone Administration program LD 11
for digital line interface units.

Once these steps have been completed, the terminal equipment is ready
for use.

Operation
This section describes how line cards fit into the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and
Meridian 1 architecture, the busses that carry signals to and from the line
cards, and how they connect to terminal equipment. These differences are
summarized in Table 3 on page 32.
Host interface bus
Cards based on the IPE bus have a built-in microcontroller. The IPE
microcontroller is used to do the following:
•

perform local diagnostics (self-test)

IPE line cards all have a similar architecture. Figure 2 on page 34 shows a
typical IPE line card architecture. The various line cards differ only in the
number and types of line interface units.
The switch communicates with IPE modules over two separate interfaces.
Voice and signaling data are sent and received over DS-30X loops, and
maintenance data is sent over a separate asynchronous communication link
called the card LAN link.
Signaling data is information directly related to the operation of the telephone
line. Some examples of signaling commands include:

DS-30X loops
The line interfaces provided by the line cards connect to conventional 2-wire
(tip and ring) line facilities. IPE analog line cards convert the incoming
analog voice and signaling information to digital form and route it to the Call
Server over DS-30X network loops. Conversely, digital voice and signaling
information from the Call Server is sent over DS-30X network loops to the
analog line cards where it is converted to analog form and applied to the line
facility.
IPE digital line cards receive the data from the digital phone terminal as
512 kHz Time Compressed Multiplexed (TCM) data. The digital line card
converts that data to a format compatible with the DS-30X loop and transmits
it in the next available timeslot. When a word is received from the DS-30X
loop, the digital line card converts it to the TCM format and transmits it to the
digital phone terminal over the digital line facility.
A separate dedicated DS-30X network loop is extended between each IPE
line/trunk card and the controller cards within an IPE module. A DS-30X
network loop is composed of two synchronous serial data buses. One bus
transports in the Transmit (Tx) direction towards the line facility and the other
in the Receive (Rx) direction towards the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and
Meridian 1.
Each bus has 32 channels for Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) voice data. Each
channel consists of a 10-bit word. See Figure 3 on page 36. Eight of the 10
bits are for PCM data, one bit is the call signaling bit, and the last bit is a data
valid bit. The eight-bit PCM portion of a channel is called a timeslot. The
DS-30X loop is clocked at 2.56 Mbps (one-half the 5.12 MHz clock
frequency supplied by the controller card). Thus, the timeslot repetition rate
for a single channel is 8 kHz. The controller card also supplies a locally
generated 1 kHz frame sync signal for channel synchronization.
Signaling data is transmitted to and from the line cards using the call signaling
bit within the 10-bit channel. When the line card detects a condition that the
switch needs to know about, it creates a 24-bit signaling word. This word is
shifted out on the signaling bit for the associated channel one bit at a time
during 24 successive DS-30X frames. Conversely, when the switch sends
signaling data to the line card, it is sent as a 24-bit word divided among 24
successive DS-30X frames.

DS-30Y network loops extend between controller cards and superloop
network cards in the Common Equipment (CE). They function in a manner
similar to DS-30X loops. See Figure 5 on page 41.
A DS-30Y loop carries the PCM timeslot traffic of a DS-30X loop. Four
DS-30Y network loops form a superloop with a capacity of 128 channels (120
usable timeslots). See Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1:
Large System Planning and Engineering (553-3021-120) for more
information on superloops.
Card LAN link
Maintenance communication is the exchange of control and status data
between IPE line or trunk cards and the Call Server by way of the NT8D01
Controller card. Maintenance data is transported through the card LAN link.
This link is composed of two asynchronous serial buses (called the Async
card LAN link in Figure 2 on page 34). The output bus is used by the system
controller for output of control data to the line card. The input bus is used by
the system controller for input of line card status data.

Page 37 of 906

A card LAN link bus is common to all of the line/trunk card slots within an
IPE module. This bus is arranged in a master/slave configuration where the
controller card is the master and all other cards are slaves. The module
backplane provides each line/trunk card slot with a unique hardwired slot
address. This slot address enables a slave card to respond when addressed by
the controller card. The controller card communicates with only one slave at
a time.
In normal operation, the controller card continually scans (polls) all of the
slave cards connected to the card LAN to monitor their presence and
operational status. The slave card sends replies to the controller on the input
bus along with its card slot address for identification. In its reply, the slave
informs the controller if any change in card status has taken place. The
controller can then prompt the slave for specific information. Slaves only
respond when prompted by the controller; they do not initiate exchange of
control or status data on their own.
When an IPE line card is first plugged into the backplane, it runs a self-test.
When the self-test is completed, a properly functioning card responds to the
next controller card poll with the self-test status. The controller then queries
for card identification and other status information. The controller then
downloads all applicable configuration data to the line card, initializes it, and
puts it into an operational mode.

Analog line interface units
Once the 8-bit digital voice signal has been received by the analog line card,
it must be converted back into an analog signal, filtered, converted from a
4-wire transmission path to a 2-wire transmission path, and driven onto the
analog telephone line.
Figure 4 on page 38 shows a typical example of the logic that performs these
functions. Each part of the analog line interface unit is discussed in the
following section.

Coder/Decoder circuit
The Coder/Decoder (CODEC) performs Analog to Digital (A/D) and Digital
to Analog (D/A) conversion of the line analog voiceband signal to and from
a digital PCM signal. This signal can be coded and decoded using either the
A-Law or the µ-Law companding algorithm.
On some analog line cards, the decoding algorithm depends of the type of
CODEC installed when the board is built. On others, it is an option selected
using a software overlay.
Variable gain filters
Audio signals received from the analog phone line are passed through a
low-pass A/D monolithic filter that limits the frequency spread of the input
signal to a nominal 200 to 3400 Hz bandwidth. The audio signal is then
applied to the input of the CODEC. Audio signals coming from the CODEC
are passed through a low-pass A/D monolithic filter that integrates the
amplitude modulated pulses coming from the CODEC, and then filters and
amplifies the result. On some of the line cards, the gain of these filters can be
programmed by the system controller. This allows the system to make up for
line losses according to the loss plan.
Balancing network
Depending on the card type, the balancing network provides a 600 ¾, 900 ¾,
3COM or 3CM2 impedance matching network. It also converts the 2-wire
transmission path (tip and ring) to a 4-wire transmission path (Rx/ground and
Tx/ground). The balancing network is usually a transformer/analog (hybrid)
circuit combination, but can also be a monolithic Subscriber Line Interface
Circuit (SLIC) on the newer line cards.
Line interface and foreign voltage protection
The line interface unit connects the balancing network to the telephone tip
and ring pairs. The off-premise line card (NT1R20) has circuitry that protects
the line card from foreign voltage surges caused by accidental power line
connections and lightning surges. This protection is necessary if the
telephone line leaves the building where the switch is installed.
The line interface unit has a relay that applies the ringing voltage onto the
phone line. See Figure 4 on page 38. The RSYNC signal from the 20 Hz

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 40 of 906

Overview

(nominal) ringing voltage power supply is used to prevent switching of the
relay during the current peak. This eliminates switching glitches and extends
the life of the switching relay.
The off-hook detection circuit monitors the current draw on the phone line.
When the current draw exceeds a preset value, the circuit generates an
off-hook signal that is transmitted back to the system controller.
The message waiting circuit on message waiting line cards monitors the status
of the message waiting signal and applies –150 V dc power to the tip lead
when activated. This voltage is used to light the message waiting lamps on
phones that are equipped with that feature. The high voltage supply is
automatically disconnected when the phone goes off-hook. Newer line cards
can sense when the message waiting lamp is not working and can report that
information back to the system controller.

Digital line interface units
The NT8D02 digital line card provides voice and data communication links
between a switch and modular digital telephones. These lines carry
multiplexed PCM voice, data and signaling information as Time
Compression Multiplexed (TCM) loops. Each TCM loop can be connected to
a Nortel “Meridian Modular Digital” telephone.
The digital line interface card contains one or more digital line interface units.
See Figure 5 on page 41. Each digital line interface unit contains a Digital
Line Interface Circuit (DLIC). The purpose of each DLIC is to demultiplex
data from the DS-30X Tx channel into integrated voice and data bitstreams
and transmit those bitstreams as Bi-Polar Return to Zero, Alternate Mark
Inversion (BPRZ-AMI) data to the TCM loop. It also does the opposite:
receives BPRZ-AMI bitstreams from the TCM loop and multiplexes the
integrated voice and data bitstream onto the DS-30X Rx channel.
The 4-wire to 2-wire conversion circuit converts the 2-wire tip and ring leads
into a 4-wire (Tx and ground and RX and ground) signal that is compatible
with the digital line interface circuit.
TCM loop interfaces
Each digital phone line terminates on the digital line card at a TCM loop
interface circuit. The circuit provides transformer coupling and foreign

voltage protection between the TCM loop and the digital line interface circuit.
It also provides power for the digital telephone.
To prevent undesirable side effects from occurring when the TCM loop
interface cannot provide the proper signals on the digital phone line, the
system controller can remove the ±15 V dc power supply from the TCM loop
interface. This happens when either the card gets a command from the
NT8D01 Controller card to shut down the channel, or when the digital line
card detects a loss of the 1 KHz frame synchronization signal.
Each TCM loop interface circuit can service loops up to 3500 ft. in length
when using 24 gauge wire. The circuit allows for a maximum ac signal loss
of 15.5 dB at 256 KHz and a maximum DC loop resistance of 210 ohms.
Signaling
The digital line interface units also contain signaling and control circuits that
establish, monitor, and take down call connections. These circuits work with

Overview

the system controller to operate the digital line interface circuits during calls.
The circuits receive outgoing call signaling messages from the controller and
return incoming call status information to the controller over the DS-30X
network loop.

Analog line call operation
The applications, features, and signalling arrangements for each line interface
unit are configured in software and implemented on the card through software
download messages. When an analog line interface unit is idle, it provides a
voltage near ground on the tip lead and a voltage near –48 V dc on the ring
lead to the near-end station. (The near-end station is the telephone or device
that is connected to the analog line card by the tip and ring leads.) An on-hook
telephone presents a high impedance toward the line interface unit on the
card.
Incoming calls
Incoming calls to a telephone that is connected to an analog line card can
originate either from stations that are local (served by the PBX), or remote
(served through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)). The
alerting signal to a telephone is 20 Hz (nominal) ringing. When an incoming
call is answered by the near-end station going off-hook, a low-resistance dc
loop is placed across the tip and ring leads (towards the analog line card) and
ringing is tripped. See Figure 6 on page 43.
Outgoing calls
For outgoing calls from the near-end station, a line interface unit is seized
when the station goes off-hook, placing a low-resistance loop across the tip
and ring leads towards the analog line card. See Figure 7 on page 44. When
the card detects the low-resistance loop, it prepares to receive digits. When
the system is ready to receive digits, it returns dial tone. Outward address
signaling is then applied from the near-end station in the form of loop
(interrupting) dial pulses or DTMF tones.

Message waiting
Line cards that are equipped with the message waiting feature receive
notification that a message is waiting across the Card LAN link (IPE cards).
On cards that drive a message waiting light, the light is turned on by
connecting the ring side of the telephone line to the –150 V dc power supply.
When the line card senses that the telephone has gone off-hook, it removes
the –150 V dc voltage until the telephone goes back on-hook. Line cards that
use an interrupted dial tone to indicate message waiting do nothing until the
receiver is picked up. The line card then interrupts the dial tone at a regular
interval to indicate that a message is waiting.
In both cases, the message waiting indication will continue until the user
checks his or her messages. At that time, the system will cancel the message
waiting indication by sending another message across the Card LAN link or
network loop.
Analog line supervision
Analog line supervision features are used to extend the answer supervision
and disconnect supervision signals when the line card is connected to an
intelligent terminal device (Key system or intelligent pay phone). Two types
of analog line supervision are provided:
•

battery reversal answer and disconnect supervision

•

hook flash disconnect supervision

Battery reversal answer and disconnect supervision
Battery reversal answer and disconnect supervision is only used for calls that
originate from the terminal device. It provides both far-end answer
supervision and far-end disconnect supervision signals to the terminal device.
In an intelligent pay phone application, these signals provide the information
necessary to accurately compute toll charges.
In the idle state, and during dialing and ringing at the far end, the line card
provides a ground signal on the tip lead and battery on the ring lead. See
Figure 8 on page 47. When the far-end answers, these polarities are reversed.
The reversed battery connection is maintained as long as the call is
established. When the far-end disconnects, the system sends a message that

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 46 of 906

Overview

causes the line card to revert the battery and ground signals to the normal state
to signal that the call is complete.
Hook Flash disconnect supervision
Hook flash disconnect supervision is only used for incoming calls that
terminate at the terminal device (typically a Key system). See Figure 9 on
page 48. The disconnect signal is indicated by the removal of the ground
connection to the tip lead for a specific length of time. The length of time is
programmed in LD10, and ranges from a minimum of 10 milliseconds to a
maximum of 2.55 seconds. See Software Input/Output: Administration
(553-3001-311) for more information.

Digital line call operation
Digital line call operation is controlled entirely by use of messages between
the digital telephone and the system. These messages are carried across the
TCM loop interface. There is no call connection sequence similar to the one
used for analog telephone line operation.

Lineside T1 call operation
The lineside T1 card’s call operation is performed differently depending on
whether the T1 link is configured to process calls in loop start mode or ground
start mode. Configuration is performed through dip switch settings on the
lineside T1 card.
The lineside T1 card performs calls processing separately on each of its 24
channels. Signaling is performed using the “A/B robbed bit” signaling
standard for T1 communication.
A/B robbed bit signaling simulates standard analog signaling by sending a
meaningful combination of ones and zeros across the line that correlates to
the electrical impulses that standard analog signaling sends. For example, to
represent that an analog line interface unit is idle, the analog line card
provides a ground on the tip lead and –48Vdc on the ring lead. The lineside
T1 card accomplishes the same result by sending its A bit as 0 (translated as
ground on the tip lead) and its B bit as 1 (translated as –48V dc on the ring
lead). However, measuring the voltage of the ring lead on the T1 line would
not return –48V dc, since actual electrical impulses are not being sent.

Call operation will be described by categorizing the operation into the
following main states:
•

Idle (on-hook)

•

Incoming calls

•

Outgoing calls

•

Calls disconnected by the CO

•

Calls disconnected by the telephone

Loop Start Mode
In Loop Start mode , the A and B bits have the following meaning:
Transmit from LTI:A bit = 0 (tip ground on)
B bit = Ringing (0=on, 1=off)
Receive to LTI: A bit = Loop (0=open, 1=closed)
B bit = 1 (no ring ground)
When a T1 channel is idle, the lineside T1 card simulates a ground on the tip
lead and –48Vdc on the ring lead to the terminal equipment by setting its
transmit A bit to 0 and transmit B bit to 1. Accordingly, an on-hook channel
on the terminal equipment simulates an open loop toward the lineside T1
card, causing the lineside T1 card’s receive bits to be set to A = 0 and receive
B = 1.
Incoming calls
Incoming calls to terminal equipment attached to the lineside T1 card can
originate either from stations that are local (served by the PBX), or remote
(served through the PSTN). To provide the ringing signal to a telephone the
lineside T1 card simulates an additional 90V on the ring lead to the terminal
equipment by alternating the transmit B bit between 0 and 1 (0 during ring on,
1 during ring off). When an incoming call is answered by the terminal
equipment going off-hook, the terminal equipment simulates tripping the
ringing and shutting off ringing, causing the lineside T1 card’s receive A bit
to be changed from 0 to 1.

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 50 of 906

Overview

Outgoing calls
During outgoing calls from the terminal equipment, a channel is seized when
the station goes off-hook. This simulates a low-resistance loop across the tip
and ring leads toward the lineside T1 card, causing the lineside T1’s receive
A bit to be changed from 0 to 1. This bit change prepares the lineside T1 to
receive digits. Outward address signaling is then applied from the terminal
equipment in the form of DTMF tones or loop (interrupting) dial pulses that
are signaled by the receive A bit pulsing between 1 and 0.
Call disconnect from far end (PSTN, private network or local
Station)
When a call is in process, the central office may disconnect the call from the
CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1. If the lineside T1 port has been
configured with the supervised analog line (SAL) feature, the lineside T1 card
will respond to the distant end disconnect message by momentarily changing
its transmit A bit to 1 and then returning it to 0. The duration of time that the
transmit A bit remains at 1 before returning to 0 depends upon the setting that
was configured using the SAL. If the terminal equipment is capable of
detecting distant end disconnect, it will respond by changing the lineside T1
card's receive A bit to 0 (open loop).The call is now terminated and the
interface is in the idle (on-hook) state.
For the lineside T1 card to support distant end disconnect in loop start mode,
the following configuration parameters must exist:
•

The Supervised Analog Line (SAL) feature must be configured for each
lineside T1 port.
Note: By default, the SAL feature opens the tip side for 750 m/s in loop
start operation. This is configurable in 10 m/s increments.

553-3001-211

•

For outgoing trunk calls, the trunk facility must provide far end
disconnect supervision.

•

In order to detect distant end disconnect for calls originating on the
lineside T1 card, the battery reversal feature within the SAL software
must be enabled. Enabling the battery reversal feature will not provide
battery reversal indication but will only provide a momentary
interruption of the tip ground by asserting the A bit to 1 for the specified
duration.

Call disconnect from lineside T1 terminal equipment
Alternatively, while a call is in process, the terminal equipment may
disconnect by going on-hook. The terminal equipment detects no loop current
and sends signaling to the lineside T1 card that causes its receive A bit to
change from 1 to 0. The call is now released.

Ground Start Mode
In ground start mode, the A and B bits have the following meaning:
Transmit from LTI:A bit = Tip ground (0=grounded, 1=not grounded)
B bit = Ringing (0=on, 1=off)
Receive to LTI: A bit = Loop (0=open, 1=closed)
B bit = Ring ground (0=grounded, 1=not grounded)
When a T1 channel is idle, the lineside T1 card simulates a ground on the tip
lead and -48V dc on the ring lead to the terminal equipment by setting the
transmit A bit to 1 and transmit B bit to 1. Accordingly, an on-hook telephone
simulates an open loop toward the lineside T1 card, causing the lineside T1
card’s receive bits to be set to A = 0 and B = 1.

Incoming Calls
Incoming calls to terminal equipment that is connected to the lineside T1 card
can originate either from stations that are local (served by the PBX), or
remote (served through the public switched telephone network). To provide
the ringing signal to the terminal equipment the lineside T1 card simulates the
90V ring signal on the ring lead by alternating the transmit B bit between 0
and 1 (0 during ring on, 1 during ring off), and ground on the tip lead by
setting the transmit A bit to 0. When an incoming call is answered (by the
terminal equipment going off-hook), the terminal equipment simulates
tripping the ringing and shutting off ringing by causing the lineside T1’s
receive A bit to change from 0 to 1. The lineside T1 card responds to this
message by simulating loop closure by holding the transmit B bit constant
at 1.
Outgoing Calls
During outgoing calls from the terminal equipment, a channel is seized when
the terminal equipment goes off-hook, simulating a ground to the ring lead
toward the lineside T1 card by causing the lineside T1’s receive B bit to
change from 1 to 0. In turn, the lineside T1 card simulates grounding its tip
lead by changing the transmit A bit to 0. The terminal equipment responds to
this message by removing the ring ground (lineside T1’s receive B bit is
changed to 1) and simulating open loop at the terminal equipment (lineside
T1’s receive A bit is changed to 0).
Call disconnect from far end (PSTN, private network or local
station
While a call is in process, the far end might disconnect the call. If the lineside
T1 port has been configured with the Supervised Analog Line (SAL) feature,
the lineside T1 will respond to the distant end disconnect message by opening
tip ground. This causes the lineside T1 card to change the transmit A bit to 1.
When the terminal equipment sees the transmit A bit go to 1, it responds by
simulating open loop causing the lineside T1’s receive A bit to change to 0.
The call is terminated and the interface is once again in the idle condition.
For the lineside T1 card to support distant end disconnect in ground start
mode, the following configuration parameters must exist:
•

The Supervised Analog Line (SAL) feature must be configured for each
lineside T1 port.

Description and Installation

Page 54 of 906

Overview

Note: By default, the SAL feature opens the tip side for 750 m/s in loop
start operation. This is configurable in 10 m/s increments.
•

In order to detect distant end disconnect for calls originating on the
lineside T1 card, the “battery reversal” feature within the SAL software
must be enabled. Enabling the “battery reversal” feature will not provide
battery reversal indication when a call is answered; it will only provide
battery reversal indication when a call is disconnected.

•

In order to detect distant end disconnect for calls terminating on the
lineside T1 card, the “hook flash” feature within the SAL software must
be enabled.

•

In order to detect distant end disconnect for calls originating and
terminating on the lineside T1 card, both the “battery reversal” and “hook
flash” features within the SAL software must be enabled.

Call disconnect from lineside T1 terminal equipment
Alternatively, while a call is in process, the terminal equipment may
disconnect by going on-hook, causing the lineside T1’s receive A bit to

removal of ground from the tip by changing its transmit A bit to 1. The call is
now terminated and the interface is once again in the idle condition.

Ground Start Restrictions
If the lineside T1 card is used in ground start mode, certain restrictions should
be considered. Because the system treats the lineside T1 card as a standard
loop start analog line card, the ground start operation of the lineside T1 card
has operational limitations compared to typical ground start interface
equipment relating to start of dialing, distant end disconnect and glare
potential.

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 56 of 906

Overview

Distant end disconnect restrictions
If the SAL feature is not available in the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software, the
lineside T1 card is not capable of indicating to the Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE) when a call has been terminated by the distant end. In this
case, the lineside T1 card will continue to provide a grounded tip indication
(A=0) to the CPE until it detects an open loop indication (A=0) from the CPE,
at which time it will provide an open tip indication (A=1). Therefore, without
SAL software, the lineside T1 card is not capable of initiating the termination
of a call to the CPE.
With the SAL software configured for each lineside T1 line, the lineside T1
card will provide an open tip indication to the CPE when it receives an
indication of supervised analog line from the system. This provides normal
ground start protocol call termination.
Glare restrictions
In telephone lines or trunks, glare occurs when a call origination attempt
results in the answering of a terminating call that is being presented by the far
end simultaneously with the call origination attempt by the near end.
The lineside T1 detects presentation of a terminating call (outgoing to lineside
T1 terminal equipment) by detecting ringing voltage. If application of the
ringing voltage is delayed due to traffic volume and ringing generator
capacity overload, the lineside T1 ground start operation cannot connect the
tip side to ground to indicate the line has been seized by the system.
In ground start mode, glare conditions need to be considered if both incoming
and outgoing calls to the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) are going to be
encountered. If the system and the CPE simultaneously attempt to use a
lineside T1 line, the system will complete the call termination. It does not
back down and allow the CPE to complete the call origination, as in normal
ground start operation.
If both incoming and outgoing calls are to be handled through the lineside T1
interface, separate channels should be configured in the system and the CPE
for each call direction. This eliminates the possibility of glare conditions on
call origination.

Voice frequency audio level
The digital pad for lineside T1 card audio level is fixed for all types of call
connection (0 dB insertion loss in both directions), and differs from the
analog line. Audio level adjustments, if required, must be made in the lineside
T1 terminal equipment.

Off-premise line protection
Off-premise applications are installations where the telephone lines are
extended outside the building where the PBX system is housed, but the lines
are not connected to public access facilities. This application is commonly
referred to as a “campus installation.”
In off-premise applications, special protection devices and grounding are
required to protect PBX and telephone components from any abnormal
conditions, such as lightning strikes and power line crosses.
The NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Line card has built-in protection against
lightning strikes and power line crosses. These should be the preferred cards
for an off-premise application. Other cards can be used when external line
protectors are installed.
When using the lineside T1 card for an off-premise or network application,
external line protectors must be installed. Install an isolated type Channel
Service Unit (CSU) as part of the terminal equipment, to provide the
necessary isolation and outside line protection. The CSU should be an FCC
part 68 or CSA certified unit.

Line protectors
Line protectors are voltage-absorbing devices that are installed at the
cross-connect terminals at both the main building and the remote building.
The use of line protectors will ensure that system and telephone components
are not damaged from accidental voltages that are within the limit of the
capacity of the protection device. Absolute protection from lightning strikes
and other stray voltages cannot be guaranteed, but the use of line protection
devices significantly reduces the possibility of damage.

The switch communicates with IPE modules over two separate interfaces.
Voice and signaling data are sent and received over DS-30X loops and
maintenance data is sent over a separate asynchronous communication link
called the card LAN link.
Signaling data is information directly related to the operation of the telephone

Overview

DS-30X loops
The interfaces provided by the line and trunk cards connect to conventional
2-wire (tip and ring) line facilities. IPE analog line and trunk cards convert
the incoming analog voice and signaling information to digital form, and
route it to the Common Equipment (CE) CPU over DS-30X network loops.
Conversely, digital voice and signaling information from the CPU is sent over
DS-30X network loops to the analog line and trunk cards where it is
converted to analog form and applied to the line or trunk facility.
IPE digital line cards receive the data from the digital phone terminal as
512 kHz Time Compressed Multiplexed (TCM) data. The digital line card
converts that data to a format compatible with the DS-30X loop, and transmits
it in the next available timeslot. When a word is received from the DS-30X
loop, the digital line card converts it to the TCM format and transmits it to the
digital phone terminal over the digital line facility.
A separate dedicated DS-30X network loop is extended between each IPE
line/trunk card and the controller cards within an IPE module (or the
controller circuits on a network/DTR card in a CE module). A DS-30X
network loop is composed of two synchronous serial data buses. One bus
transports in the transmit (Tx) direction toward the line facility and the other
in the receive (Rx) direction toward the common equipment.
Each bus has 32 channels for pulse code modulated (PCM) voice data. Each
channel consists of a 10-bit word. See Figure 12 on page 67.
Eight of the 10 bits are for PCM data, one bit is the call signaling bit, and the
last bit is a data valid bit. The 8-bit PCM portion of a channel is called a
timeslot. The DS-30X loop is clocked at 2.56 Mbps (one-half the 5.12 MHz
clock frequency supplied by the controller card). Thus, the timeslot repetition
rate for a single channel is 8 kHz. The controller card also supplies a locally
generated 1 kHz frame sync signal for channel synchronization.
Signaling data is transmitted to and from the line cards using the call signaling
bit within the 10-bit channel. When the line card detects a condition that the
switch needs to know about, it creates a 24-bit signaling word. This word is
shifted out on the signaling bit for the associated channel one bit at a time
during 24 successive DS-30X frames. Conversely, when the switch sends

successive DS-30X frames.
DS-30Y network loops extend between controller cards and superloop
network cards in the common equipment, and function in a manner similar to
DS-30X loops. See Figure 13 on page 68.
Essentially, a DS-30Y loop carries the PCM timeslot traffic of a DS-30X
loop. Four DS-30Y network loops form a superloop with a capacity of 128
channels (120 usable timeslots).
See Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Planning
and Engineering (553-3021-120) for more information on superloops.

link is composed of two asynchronous serial buses (called the Async card
LAN link in Figure 11 on page 64). The output bus is used by the controller
for output of control data to the trunk card. The input bus is used by the
controller for input of trunk card status data.
A card LAN link bus is common to all of the line/trunk card slots within an
IPE module (or IPE section of a CE module). This bus is arranged in a master/
slave configuration where the controller card is the master and all other cards
are slaves. The module backplane provides each line/trunk card slot with a
unique hardwired slot address. This slot address enables a slave card to
respond when addressed by the controller card. The controller card
communicates with only one slave at a time.
In normal operation, the controller card continually scans (polls) all of the
slave cards connected to the card LAN to monitor their presence and
operational status. The slave card sends replies to the controller on the input
bus along with its card slot address for identification. In this reply, the slave
informs the controller if any change in card status has taken place. The
controller can then prompt the slave for specific information. Slaves only
respond when prompted by the controller; they do not initiate exchange of
control or status data on their own.
When an IPE line or trunk card is first plugged into the backplane, it runs a
self-test. When the self test is completed, a properly functioning card
responds to the next controller card poll with the self-test status. The
controller then queries for card identification and other status information.
The controller then downloads all applicable configuration data to the line/
trunk card, initializes it, and puts it into an operational mode.
The network card regularly polls the IPE cards during TS0 to see if any of
them has a message to be sent. When an IPE card has a message waiting it
responds to the poll by sending a series of 1s during the next five successive
timeslot 0s. The network card responds by sending a “message send enable”
message (all 1s). The IPE card replies by sending 1, 1, 1, 0, and then the
message in successive timeslot 0s.

Trunk interface unit
Once the 8-bit digital voice signal has been received by the trunk card, it must
be converted back into an analog signal, filtered, and driven onto the analog

trunk line through an impedance matching and balance network. The trunk
interface also includes the logic necessary to place outgoing call signaling
onto the trunk, or the logic to connect to special services such as recorded
announcement and paging equipment.
Figure 14 shows a typical example of the logic that performs these functions.

Coder/Decoder circuit
The coder/decoder (codec) performs Analog to Digital (A/D) and Digital to
Analog (D/A) conversion of the line analog voiceband signal to and from a
digital PCM signal. This signal can be coded and decoded using either the
A-Law or the µ-Law companding algorithm. On some trunk cards the
decoding algorithm depends of the type of codec installed when the board is
built. On others, it is an option selected using a software overlay.

Page 71 of 906

Variable gain filters
Audio signals received from the analog phone trunk are passed through a
low-pass A/D monolithic filter that limits the frequency spread of the input
signal to a nominal 200–3400 Hz bandwidth. The audio signal is then applied
to the input of the codec. Audio signals coming from the CODEC are passed
through a low-pass A/D monolithic filter that integrates the amplitude
modulated pulses coming from the CODEC, and then filters and amplifies the
result.
On some of the trunk cards, the gain of these filters can be programmed by
the system controller. This allows the system to make up for line losses
according to the loss plan.
Balancing network
Depending on the card type, the balancing network is capable of providing
either a 600 ohm or a 900 ohm (or both) impedance matching network. It also
converts the 2-wire transmission path (tip and ring) to a 4-wire transmission
path (Rx/ground and Tx/ground). The balancing network is a transformer/
analog (hybrid) circuit combination.
Signaling circuits
Signaling circuits are relays that place outgoing call signaling onto the trunk.
Signal detection circuits monitor the incoming call signaling.
Control signals
Control signals and logic are provided when the trunk is going to be
connected to special services such as recorded announcement and paging
equipment.

Overview

Serial Data Interface (SDI) cards
The NT8D41BA QSDI paddle board provides four bidirectional
asynchronous serial ports for the system processor, and the QPC841 QSDI
card also provides four. Any device that conforms to the RS-232-C serial
communication standard can be connected to these serial ports.
The QPC513 ESDI card provides two fully synchronous serial ports for the
system processor. The ESDI card communicates using the Link Access
Procedure Balanced (LAP-B) synchronous communication protocol.
The electrical interface uses either standard RS-232-C signals or a special
high-speed interface that combines the high-speed differential interface of the
RS-422-A standard with the handshake signals of the RS-232-C standard.
The RS-232-C interface is normally used when data rates are less than 19.2
Kbps, and the cable length is less than 15.24 m (50 ft). The high-speed
interface is used when the signal rates are greater than 19.2 kbps (up to 64
kbps) and/or when the cable length is greater than 15.24 m (50 ft).
Table 9 shows compatibility between the three SDI cards and the various
switch options.

Overview

Electromagnetic interference
The CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 systems meet the requirements of
FCC Part 15 and CSA C108.8 electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards
as a class “A” computing device. To accomplish this, the SDI cables must exit
the module through EMI filters on the I/O panel.
Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) for all SDI cards is 55 years at
40°C and 29 years at 55°C.

Installation
To use a serial data interface card in a CS 1000S, CS 1000M, or Meridian 1
system, first install the card in the system, and then configure the system
software to recognize it. These steps are discussed in the following sections.
Instructions for cabling the serial data interface cards to the various system
consoles and peripherals are found in Communication Server 1000M and
Meridian 1: Large System Installation and Configuration (553-3021-210).
Configuring the system software
Once an SDI card has been installed in the system, the system software needs
to be configured to recognize it. This is done using the Configuration Record
program LD 17. Instructions for the Configuration Record program are found
in Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311).

Maintenance
The following maintenance programs are used to maintain individual SDI
asynchronous ports. The program used depends on the application of the port.

Precautions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, review the following
guidelines before handling system equipment.
WARNING
Module covers are not hinged; do not let go of the covers.
Lift covers away from the module and set them out of your
work area.

WARNING
Circuit cards may contain a lithium battery. There is a
danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
Do not replace components on any circuit card; you must
replace the entire card.
Dispose of circuit cards according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

To avoid damage to circuit cards from static discharge, wear a properly
connected antistatic wrist strap when you work on system equipment. If a
wrist strap is not available, regularly touch one of the bare metal strips in a
module to discharge static. Figure 15 on page 85 shows the recommended
connection points for the wrist strap and the bare metal strips you should
touch.
Handle circuit cards as follows:

553-3001-211

•

Unpack or handle cards away from electric motors, transformers, or
similar machinery.

•

Handle cards by the edges only. Do not touch the contacts or
components.

•

Set cards on a protective antistatic bag. If an antistatic bag is not
available, hand-hold the card, or set it in a card cage unseated from the
connectors.

•

Store cards in protective packing. Do not stack cards on top of each other
unless they are packaged.

try to repair or clean them.

Installing a circuit card
This procedure provides detailed installation instructions for circuit cards.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, read all
of the guidelines in “Circuit card installation” on page 80
before you begin installation and follow all guidelines
throughout the procedure.
Procedure 1
Installation
1

Open the protective carton and remove the circuit card from the antistatic
bag. Return the antistatic bag to the carton and store it for future use.

2

Inspect the card components, faceplate, locking devices, and connectors
for damage. If damaged, tag the card with a description of the problem
and package it for return to a repair center.

3

Refer to the work order to determine the module and slot location for the
card.

4

If there is an enable/disable (Enb/Dis) switch on the faceplate, set it to Dis.

5

If there are option switches or jumpers on the card, set them according to
the work order (see “Option settings” on page 101).

CAUTION
System Failure
Incorrectly set switches on common equipment
circuit cards may cause a system failure.

Insert the card into the card aligning guides in the card cage. Gently push
the card into the slot until you feel resistance. The tip of the locking device
must be behind the edge of the card cage (see Figure 16).

8

Lock the card into position by simultaneously pushing the ends of the
locking devices against the faceplate.
Note: When IPE cards are installed, the red LED on the faceplate
remains lit for two to five seconds as a self-test runs. If the self-test
completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit until
the card is configured and enabled in software, then the LED goes out. If
the LED does not follow the pattern described or operates in any other
manner (such as continually flashing or remaining weakly lit), replace the
card.

Conference cards
Procedure 2
Testing conference cards
Use this procedure to test a conference card or to test the conference function
of an NT8D17 Conference/TDS card.
1

Log into the system:
LOGI (password)

2

Request the status of a loop on the conference card:
LD 38
STAT loop
Conference status is formatted as follows:
CNFC n DSBL n BUSY
“n” represents the number of conference groups disabled and busy
CHAN n DSBL n BUSY
“n” represents the number of channels disabled and busy
UNEQ
card is not equipped in the system
DSBL
card is disabled in software

3

If the conference card loop is disabled, enable it.
For an NT8D17 Conference/TDS card, enter:
ENLX loop
(the conference loop is the odd loop of the conference/TDS loop pair)
Note: The conference/TDS card is not enabled automatically when it is
inserted. You must enable the card with the command ENLX. (This
command is used in LD 34 and LD 46 to address even loops and in LD 38
to address odd loops.) Enabling the loops with the command ENLL does
not enable the hardware for the card.
For other than an NT8D17 Conference/TDS card, enter:
ENLL loop
(the conference loop must be an even loop for cards other than the
NT8D17)
If the system response is other than OK, see the Software Input/Output:
Administration (553-3001-311) to analyze the messages.

Test the conference loop for channel, group, and switching faults:
CNFC loop
If the conference loop passes the tests, the output is OK.
If the system response is other than OK, see the Software Input/Output:
Administration (553-3001-311) to analyze the messages.

5

Prepare the system for a manual conference call on a specified loop:
CNFC MAN loop c
Where “c” is the manual conference group (1-15)
A manual conference test is performed by stepping through conference
channels and groups, listening for noise that indicates a faulty card.
The manual conference test can be performed through a system terminal
or BCS maintenance telephone. If commands are entered from a
maintenance telephone, this telephone automatically becomes part of the
manual conference call.
Only one manual conference call is allowed at one time. A manual
conference consists of only two telephones, where one telephone acts as
a signal source while the other acts as a listening monitor.
After you enter the CNFC command, any two telephones (one may
already be the maintenance telephone) dialing the special service prefix
code (SPRE) and the digits 93 will enter the manual conference call. The
prime directory number (PDN) indicator, if equipped, will light on each
telephone.
Going on-hook takes the telephone out of the manual conference call, and
the test must be restarted.
See LD 38 in the Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311)
for more detailed information on using this command.

6

Test various channels and conference groups audibly with the command
CNFC STEP
When stepping through channels and groups, a clicking followed by
silence is normal. Any distortion or other noises indicates a faulty card.
Once the CNFC STEP command has been entered, entering C on the
system terminal or maintenance telephone steps through the conference
channels. Entering G steps through the conference groups. There are 15
channels per group and 15 groups per conference card.
Entering an asterisk (*) and END stops the test.

Circuit card grid
Some circuit cards contain option switches or jumpers, or both, that define
specific functions. A switch or jumper can be identified by an alphanumeric
coordinate (such as D29) that indicates a location on the card, or by a switch
number (such as SW2) printed on the circuit board (see Figure 17). Positions
on a switch (for example, positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 on SW2) are labeled on the
switch block.
On a circuit card:

553-3001-211

•

ON may be indicated by the word “on,” the word “up,” the word
“closed,” the number “1,” an arrow pointing up, or a solid dot (•).

•

OFF may be indicated by the word “down,” the word “open,” the number
“0,” or an arrow pointing down.

* To enable ports 1 and 2, set SW15 position 1 to ON. To enable ports 3 and 4, set SW16 position 1 to ON.
+

For each X, the setting for this switch makes no difference, because it is not used.

DTE/DCE mode
Each serial port can be configured to connect to a terminal (DTE equipment)
or a modem (DCE equipment). Instructions for configuring the DTE/DCE
switches SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, SW6, SW7, SW8, and SW9 are shown in
Table 44.
Example: Port 1 is changed from DTE to DCE by reversing every switch
position on SW3 and SW2; i.e., switches that were off for DTE are turned on
for DCE, and switches that were on for DTE are turned off for DCE.

Note: DX trunks must be balanced correctly. If the loop is <2.5 K ¾, far-end balancing is
standard. If the loop is >2.5 K ¾, far end balancing requires standard plus 2.5 K ¾. To connect
PBX to PBX, switches should be arranged for loops to be >2.5 K ¾ at one end and <2.5 K ¾ at
the other. Apply similar treatment when connecting to Pulse QPJ69 trunks.

*Cable length between the J3
faceplate connectors:

*

If there is only one Clock Controller card in the system, set to OFF. If there are two Clock Controller
cards, determine the total cable length between the J3 connectors (no single cable can exceed 25 ft.)
and set these two switch positions for this cable length, as shown above. The maximum total (combined)
length is 50 ft. Set the switches on both cards to the same settings.
** Set to ON for clock controller 0. Set to OFF for clock controller 1.

Note: FNF based-systems the total clock path length is equal to the length of the NTRC49
cable used to connect between the two clock controller cards.

Introduction
The NT1R20 Off-Premise Station (OPS) analog line card is an intelligent
eight-channel analog line card designed to be used with 2-wire analog
terminal equipment such as analog (500/2500-type) telephones and analog
modems.
The NT1R20 Off-Premise Station (OPS) analog line card provides eight
full-duplex analog telephone line interfaces. Each line has integral hazardous
and surge voltage protection to protect the system from damage due to
lightning strikes and accidental power line connections. This card is normally

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 158 of 906

used whenever the phone lines have to leave the building in which the switch
is installed.
The NT1R20 OPS analog line card provides:
•

line supervision

•

hookflash

•

battery reversal

Each unit is independently configured by software control in the Analog (500/
2500 type) Telephone Administration program LD 10.
You can install this card in any IPE slot.

Physical description
The line interface and common multiplexing circuitry is mounted on a 31.75
cm by 25.40 cm (12.5 in. by 10 in.) printed circuit board.
The OPS analog line card connects to the IPE backplane through a 160-pin
connector shroud. A 25-pair amphenol connector below the card is cabled to
the cross connect terminal (also called the Main Distribution Frame (MDF)).
Telephone lines from station equipment cross connect to the OPS analog line
card at the cross connect using a wiring plan similar to trunk cards.

Self Test
The faceplate of the NT1R20 OPS analog line card is equipped with a red
LED. When an OPS analog line card is installed, the LED remains lit for two
to five seconds while the self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully,
the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is configured and
enabled in software; then the LED goes out. If the LED continues to flash or
remains weakly lit, replace the card. See Figure 21 on page 159.

Card interfaces
Voice and signaling interfaces
The eight line interfaces provided by the NT1R20 OPS analog line card
connect to conventional, 2-wire (tip and ring), analog line facilities. Incoming
analog voice and signaling information from a line facility is converted by the
OPS analog line card to digital form and routed to the CPU over DS-30
network loops. Conversely, digital voice and signaling information from the
CPU is sent over DS-30 network loops to the OPS analog line card where it
is converted to analog form and applied to the line facility.
The OPS analog line card uses only eight of the 30 available timeslots for its
eight line interfaces. The OPS analog line card can be configured in software
to format PCM data in the µ-law or A-law conventions.
Maintenance communication
Maintenance communication is the exchange of control and status data

NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card

Line interface units
The NT1R20 OPS analog line card contains eight independently configurable
interface units. Relays are provided in each unit to apply ringing onto the line.
Signal detection circuits monitor on-hook/off-hook signaling. Two codecs
are provided for performing Analog/Digital (A/D) and Digital/Analog (D/A)
conversion of analog voiceband signals to digital PCM signals.
Each codec supports four interface units and contains switchable pads for
control of transmission loss on a per unit basis. The following features are
common to all units on the card:
•

OPS or ONS service configurable on a per unit basis

•

terminating impedance (600 or 900 ohms) selectable on a per unit basis

•

standard or complex balance impedance (600 or 900 ohms, 3COM1 or
3COM2) selectable on a per unit basis

•

loopback of PCM signals over DS-30X network loop for diagnostic
purposes

Signaling and control
This portion of the card provides circuits that establish, supervise, and take
down call connections. These circuits work with the CPU to operate line
interface circuits during calls. The circuits receive outgoing call signaling
messages from the CPU and return incoming call status information over the
DS-30X network loop.

Card control functions
Control functions are provided by a microcontroller, a card LAN interface,
and signaling and control circuits on the NT1R20 OPS analog line card.
Microcontroller
The NT1R20 OPS analog line card contains a microcontroller that controls
the internal operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller
card. The microcontroller controls the following:
•

reporting to the CPU through the card LAN link:
— card identification (card type, vintage, and serial number)

— firmware version
— self-test status
— programmed configuration status
•

receipt and implementation of card configuration:
— programming of the codecs
— enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card
— programming of input/output interface control circuits for
administration of line interface unit operation
— maintenance diagnostics
— transmission loss levels

Card LAN interface
Maintenance data is exchanged with the CPU over a dedicated asynchronous
serial network called the Card LAN link. The Card LAN link is described in
the section “Intelligent Peripheral Equipment” on page 32.
The NT1R20 OPS analog line card has the capability of providing an
interrupted dial tone to indicate that a message is waiting or that call
forwarding is enabled. The line card (optionally) receives messages stating
that these conditions exist over the Card LAN Interface and interrupts the dial
tone when either of these conditions are detected.
Software service changes
Individual line interface units on the NT1R20 OPS analog line card are
configured to either OPS (for OPS application) or On-premises Station
(ONS) (for ONS application) Class of Service (CLS) in the Analog (500/
2500-type) Telephone Administration program LD 10. See Table 63.
LD 10 is also used to select unit terminating impedance and balance network
impedance at the TIMP and BIMP prompts, respectively.
The message waiting interrupted dial tone and call forward reminder tone
features are enabled by entering data into the customer data block using
LD 15.

Port-to-port loss configuration
The loss plan for the NT1R20 OPS analog line card determines port-to-port
loss for connections between an OPS analog line card unit (port) and other
ports.
The transmission properties of each line unit are characterized by the OPS or
ONS class of service assigned in the Analog (500/2500-type) Telephone
Administration program LD 10.
The OPS analog line card provides transmission loss switching for control of
end-to-end connection loss. Control of loss is a major element in controlling
transmission performance parameters such as received volume, echo, noise,
and crosstalk. The loss plan for the OPS analog line card determines
port-to-port loss for connections between an OPS analog line card unit (port)
and other IPE ports. LD 97 is used to configure systems for port-to-port loss.
See Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 97
service change instructions.

Electrical specifications
This section lists the electrical characteristics of the NT1R20 OPS analog line
card.

Circuit power
The +8.5 V dc input is regulated down to +5 V dc for use by the digital logic
circuits. All other power to the card is used by the line interface circuits.
The ±15.0 V dc inputs to the card are used to power the analog circuits. The
+5 V dc from the module power supply is used for the analog hybrid. The
–48.0 V dc input is for the telephone battery. Ringing power for telephones is
86 Vrms ac at 20 Hz on –48 V dc. The Rsync signal is used to switch the
20 Hz ringing on and off at the zero cross-over point to lengthen the life of
the switching circuits.

Incoming calls
Incoming calls to a telephone connected to the NT1R20 OPS analog line card
originate from stations that can be local (served by the PBX) or remote
(served through the public switched telephone network). The alerting signal
to telephones is 20 Hz (nominal) ringing. When an incoming call is answered,
ringing is tripped as the telephone goes off-hook, placing a low-resistance dc
loop across the tip and ring leads toward the OPS analog line card. (see
Table 68).

towards the NT1R20 OPS analog line card (see Table 69 on page 170). When
the card detects the low-resistance loop, it prepares to receive digits. When
the system is ready to receive digits, it returns a dial tone. Outward address
signaling is then applied from the telephone in the form of loop (interrupting)
dial pulses or DTMF tones.

Connector pin assignments
The OPS analog line card brings the eight analog telephone lines to the IPE
backplane through a 160-pin connector shroud. The backplane is cabled to the
input/output (I/O) panel on the rear of the module, which is then connected to
the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) by 25-pair cables.
Telephone lines from station equipment cross connect to the OPS analog line
card at the MDF using a wiring plan similar to that used for trunk cards. A
typical connection example is shown in Figure 23 on page 173, and a list of
the connections to the analog line card is shown in Table 70. See
Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Installation

Configuring the OPS analog line card
The line type, terminating impedance, and balance network configuration for
each unit on the card is selected by software service change entries at the
system terminal and by jumper strap settings on the card.

Jumper strap settings
Each line interface unit on the card is equipped with two jumper blocks that
are used to select the proper loop current depending upon loop length. See
Table 71.
For units connected to loops of 460 to 2300 ohms, both jumper blocks for that
unit must have jumper blocks installed. For loops that are 460 ohms or less,
jumper blocks are not installed. Figure 24 on page 176 shows the location of
the jumper blocks on the OPS analog line card.

determining loop length, “Port-to-port loss” on page 180 describes some
typical resistance and loss values for the most common cable lengths for
comparison with values obtained from actual measurements.

Application

interface for off-premise station lines. An OPS line serves a terminal – usually
a telephone – remote from the PBX either within the same serving area as the

local office, or through a distant office. The line is not switched at these
offices; however, depending on the facilities used, the local office serving the
OPS station can provide line functions such as battery and ringing. Facilities
are generally provided by the local exchange carrier (usually, OPS pairs are
in the same cable as the PBX-CO trunks). The traditional OPS scenario
configuration is shown in Figure 25 on page 178.
Note: Do not confuse OPS service with Off-Premise Extension (OPX)
service. OPX service is the provision of an extension to a main subscriber
loop bridged onto the loop at the serving CO or PBX. Do not confuse
CLS OPS (assigned in the Analog (500/2500-type) Telephone
Administration program LD 10) with OPX, which denotes Off-Premise
Extension service.

Other applications
The operating range and built-in protection provisions of the NT1R20 OPS
analog line card make it suitable for applications which are variants on the
traditional configuration shown in Figure 25 on page 178. Examples of such
applications are:
•

a PBX in a central building serving stations in other buildings in the
vicinity, such as in an industrial park, often called a campus environment.
Facilities can be provided by the local exchange carrier or can be
privately owned. Protection could be required.

•

termination to other than a telephone, such as to a fax machine or a key
telephone system.

•

individual circuits on the NT1R20 OPS analog line card can also be
configured as On-Premise Station (ONS) ports in LD 10:
— to have ONS service with hazardous and surge voltage protection
(not available on other analog line cards)
— to use otherwise idle NT1R20 OPS analog line card ports

Transmission considerations
The transmission performance of OPS lines depends on the following factors:
•

the port-to-port loss for connections between OPS ports and other ports

•

the transmission parameters of the facilities between the OPS port and
the off-premise station or termination

•

the electrical and acoustic transmission characteristics of the termination

These factors must be considered when planning applications using the
NT1R20 OPS analog line card. They are important when considering
configurations other than the traditional OPS application as shown in
Figure 25 on page 178. The following provides basic transmission planning
guidelines for various OPS applications.

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 180 of 906

NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card

Port-to-port loss
Loss is inserted between OPS analog line card ports and other ports in
accordance with the loss plan. This plan determines the port-to-port loss for
each call.
When a port is configured for CLS OPS, loss is programmed into the OPS
analog line card on a call-by-call basis. When configured for CLS ONS, an
OPS analog line card port is programmed to a value that is fixed for all calls.
The loss in the other port involved in the call can vary on a call-by-call basis
to achieve the total loss scheduled by the plan.
For satisfactory transmission performance, particularly on connections
between the public network and an OPS termination, it is recommended that
facilities conform to the following:
•

Total 1 kHz loss from the local serving CO to the OPS terminal should
not exceed 7.0 dB. The total loss in the facility between the PBX and the
terminal must not exceed 4.5 dB. See Figure 25 on page 178.
The following requirements are based on historic Inserted Connection
Loss (ICL) objectives:
— PBX – CO trunk: 5 dB with gain; 0 – 4.0 dB without gain
— OPS line: 4.0 dB with gain; 0 – 4.5 dB without gain
Economic and technological changes have led to modifications of
these objectives. But since the loss provisions in the PBX for OPS
are constrained by regulatory requirements as well as industry
standards, they are not designed to compensate for modified ICL
designs in the connecting facilities.

•

Nortel recommends that the attenuation distortion (frequency response)
of the OPS facility be within ±3.0 dB over the frequency range from 300
to 3000 Hz. It is desirable that this bandwidth extend from 200 to 3200
Hz.

•

The terminating impedance of the facility at the OPS port be
approximately that of 600 ohms cable.

If the OPS line facility loss is greater than 4.5 dB but does not exceed 15 dB,
line treatment using a switched-gain Voice Frequency Repeater (VFR) will
extend the voice range.

The overall range achievable on an OPS line facility is limited by the
signaling range (2300 ohms loop including telephone resistance). The
signaling range is unaffected by gain treatment; thus, gain treatment can be
used to extend the voice range to the limit of the signaling range. For
example, on 26 AWG wire, the signaling range of 2300 ohms corresponds to
an untreated metallic loop loss of 15 dB. Gain treatment (such as a VFR) with
10.5 dB of gain would maintain the OPS service loss objective of 4.5 dB
while extending the voice range to the full limit of the signaling range.
15.0 dB
–

4.5 dB

=

10.5 dB

(loss corresponding to the maximum signaling range)
(OPS service loss objective)
(required gain treatment)

The use of dial long line units to extend signaling range of OPS analog line
cards beyond 15 dB is not recommended.
Termination transmission characteristics
The loss plan for OPS connections is designed so that a connection with an
OPS termination provides satisfactory end-to-end listener volume when the
OPS termination is a standard telephone. The listener volume at the distant
end depends on the OPS termination transmit loudness characteristics; the
volume at the OPS termination end depends on the OPS termination receive
loudness characteristics.
A feature of many (though not all) standard telephones is that the loudness
increases with decreased current. Thus, as the line (PBX to OPS termination)
facility gets longer and loss increases, the increased loudness of the telephone
somewhat compensates for the higher loss, assuming direct current feed from
the PBX with constant voltage at the feeding bridge. However, this
compensation is not available when:
•

the termination is a non-compensating telephone

•

the OPS port is served by a line card using a constant-current feeding
bridge

•

the OPS termination is to telephones behind a local switch providing
local current feed, such as a fax machine or a key telephone system

OPS line terminations with loudness characteristics designed for other
applications can also impact transmission performance. For example,
wireless portables loudness characteristics are selected for connections to
switching systems for wireless communication systems; if used in an OPS
arrangement without consideration for these characteristics, the result could
be a significant deviation from optimum loudness performance.

Functional description
The card employs an Intel Pentium Processor as the central processing unit.
The internal core clock frequency reaches from 600MHz to1.1GHz. The
processor is manufactured in 0.09 um process technology and provides 32 KB
of on die data and instruction cache as well as 1 MB of on die L2 cache
running at core clock frequency. The processor is a mobile processor with a
478 pin FCBGA package with a maximum junction temperature of 100 °C.
Processor power dissipation must not exceed 12 W.
The front side bus runs at 400 MHz and uses an AGTL+ signaling
technology. The quad pumped data interface (data running at 4*100 MHz =
400 MHz) is 64 bit wide providing a total bandwidth of 3.2 GBytes/s. The

553-3001-211

Standard 3.00

August 2005

NT4N39AA CP Pentium IV Card

Page 187 of 906

double pumped address bus (addresses running at 2*100 MHz = 200 MHz) is
32 bit wide supporting an address range of up to 4 GBytes. The processor
voltage specification is compliant with IMVP IV specification.

Memory
CP PIV memory uses DDR SDRAM technology. The CP PIV provides a
maximum of two GBytes using two vertical DIMM sockets to install
off-the-shelf DIMM modules. CP PIV only supports DDR SDRAM DIMM
memory with a supply voltage of +2.5V.
The memory data path is 72-bit wide. The Intel 855GME Host Bridge
supports 128 MByte, 256 MByte and 512 Mbyte SDRAM technologies with
a maximum ROW page size of 16 Kbytes and CAS latency of 2 or 2.5. The
maximum height of the DIMM modules possible on CP PIV is one inch or
25.4 mm.
The DDR interface runs at 100 MHz synchronously to the front side bus
frequency. The SPD (Serial Presents Detect) -SROM available on DIMM
modules provide all necessary information (speed, size, and type) to the
boot-up software. The SPD-SROM can be read via SMBUS connected to the
Intel Hance Rapids South Bridge.

Front panel connector pin assignments
COM1 and COM2 ports
The physical interface for the COM1 and COM2 ports to the front panel is

Introduction
This section describes the two lineside T1 interface cards:
•

NT5D11 – applicable for Large Systems only

•

NT5D14 – applicable for Small Systems only
Note: Unless otherwise stated, the information in this section applies to
both the NT5D11 and NT5D14 lineside T1 interface cards.

The NT5D11 lineside T1 Interface card is an intelligent 24-channel digital
line card that is used to connect the switch to T1 compatible terminal
equipment on the lineside. T1 compatible terminal equipment includes voice

Description and Installation

Page 194 of 906

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

mail systems, channel banks containing FXS cards, and key systems such as
the Nortel Norstar. The lineside T1 card differs from trunk T1 cards in that it
supports terminal equipment features such as hookflash, transfer, hold, and
conference.
This card occupies two card slots in the main or expansion cabinets. The
lineside T1 card can be installed in the system’s main cabinet or one of the
expansion cabinets (there are no limitations on the number of cards that can
be installed in the Cabinet system).
The lineside T1 card emulates an analog line card to the system software;
therefore, each channel is independently configurable by software control in
LD 10. The lineside T1 card also comes equipped with a Man-Machine
Interface (MMI) maintenance program. This feature provides diagnostic
information regarding the status of the T1 link.

Physical description
The lineside T1 card mounts into any two consecutive IPE slots. The card
consists of a motherboard and a daughterboard. The motherboard circuitry is
contained on a standard 31.75 by 25.40 cm. (12.5 by 10.0 in) printed circuit
board. The daughterboard is contained on a 5.08 by 15.24 cm (2.0 by 6.0 in)
printed circuit board and mounts to the motherboard on six standoffs.

Card connections
The lineside T1 card uses the NT8D81AA Tip and Ring cable to connect from
the IPE backplane to the 25-pair amphenol connector on the IPE I/O input/
output (I/O) panel. The I/O panel connector then connects directly to a T1
line, external alarm, and an MMI terminal or modem using the NT5D13AA
lineside T1 I/O cable available from Nortel.

Faceplate
The faceplate of the card is twice as wide as the other standard analog and
digital line cards, and occupies two card slots. It comes equipped with four
LED indicators. See Figure 29 on page 195.

State

Definition

STATUS

On (Red)

The NT5D14AA card either failed its self-test or it
hasn’t yet been configured in software.

Off

The card is in an active state.

On (Red)

A red alarm has been detected from the T1 link.
(This includes, but is not limited to: not receiving a
signal, the signal has exceeded bit error thresholds
or frame slip thresholds.)

Off

No red alarm exists.

On (Yellow)

A yellow alarm state has been detected from the
terminal equipment side of the T1 link. If the terminal
equipment detects a red alarm condition, it may
send a yellow alarm signal to the lineside T1 card
(this depends on whether or not your terminal
equipment supports this feature).

Off

No yellow alarm.

On (Red)

The card detects whether tests are being run or that
alarms have been disabled through the
Man-Machine Interface. The LED will remain lit until
these conditions are no longer detected.

Off

The lineside T1 card is fully operational.

RED

YEL

MAINT

The STATUS LED indicates that the lineside T1 card has successfully passed
its self test, and is functional. When the card is installed, this LED remains lit
for two to five seconds as the self-test runs. If the self-test completes
successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is
configured and enabled in software, the LED goes out. If the LED flashes
continuously, or remains weakly lit, replace the card.

Page 197 of 906

Note: Note: The STATUS LED indicates the enabled/disabled status of
both card slots of the lineside T1 card simultaneously. To properly enable
the card, both the motherboard and the daughterboard slots must be
enabled. The STATUS LED will turn off as soon as either one of the
lineside T1 card slots have been enabled. No LED operation will be
observed when the second card slot is enabled. To properly disable the
card, both card slots must be disabled. The LED will not turn on until
both card slots have been disabled.
The RED ALARM LED indicates that the lineside T1 card has detected an
alarm condition from the T1 link. Alarm conditions can include such
conditions as not receiving a signal or the signal has exceeded bit error
thresholds or frame slip thresholds. See “Man-Machine T1 maintenance
interface software” on page 225 for information on T1 link maintenance.
If one of these alarm conditions is detected, this red LED will light. Yellow
alarm indication is sent to the far-end as long as the near-end remains in a red
alarm condition. Depending on how the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) is
configured, this LED remains lit until the following actions occur:
•

If the “Self-Clearing” function has been enabled in the MMI, the LED
clears the alarm when the alarm condition is no longer detected. This is
the factory default.

•

If the “Self-Clearing” function has not been enabled or it has been
subsequently disabled in the MMI, the LED will stay lit until the
command “Clear Alarm” has been typed in the MMI, even though the
carrier automatically returned to service when the alarm condition was
no longer detected.

The YELLOW ALARM LED indicates that the lineside T1 card has detected a
yellow alarm signal from the terminal equipment side of the T1 link. See the
“Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface software” on page 225 for
information on T1 link maintenance. If the terminal equipment detects a red
alarm condition, such as not receiving a signal or the signal has exceeded bit
error thresholds or frame slip thresholds, it can send a yellow alarm signal to
the lineside T1 card, depending on whether or not the terminal equipment
supports this feature. If a yellow alarm signal is detected, this LED will light.
The MAINT LED indicates if the lineside T1 card is fully operational because
of certain maintenance commands being issued through the MMI. See

The lineside T1 card is an IPE line card that provides a cost-effective
all-digital connection between T1 compatible terminal equipment (such as
voice mail systems, voice response units, and trading turrets) and the system.
The terminal equipment is assured access to analog (500/2500-type)
telephone type line functionality such as hook flash, SPRE codes and
ringback tones generated from the switch. Usually, the lineside T1 card
eliminates the need for channel bank type equipment normally placed
between the switch and the terminal equipment. This provides a more robust
and reliable end-to-end connection. The lineside T1 card supports line
supervision features such as loop and ground start protocols. It can also be
used in an off-premise arrangement where analog (500/2500-type) telephones
are extended over T1 with the use of channel bank equipment.
The lineside T1 interface offers significant improvement over the previous
alternatives. For example, if a digital trunk connection were used, such as
with the DTI/PRI interface card, lineside functionality would not be
supported. Previously, the only way to achieve the lineside functionality was
to use analog ports and channel bank equipment. No channel bank equipment
is required, resulting in a more robust and reliable connection.
The lineside T1 interface offers a number of benefits when used to connect to
third-party applications equipment:
•

It is a more cost-effective alternative for connection because it eliminates
the need for expensive channel bank equipment.

•

The lineside T1 supports powerful T1 monitoring and diagnostic
capability.

•

Overall costs for customer applications can also be reduced because the
T1-compatible IPE is often more attractively priced than the analog-port
alternatives.

The lineside T1 card is compatible with all IPE based systems and standard
public or private DSX-1 type carrier facilities. Using A/B robbed bit
signaling, it supports D4 or ESF channel framing formats as well as AMI or
B8ZS coding. Because it uses standard PCM in standard T1 timeslots,
existing T1 test equipment remains compatible for diagnostic and fault
isolation purposes.

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Card interfaces
The lineside T1 card passes voice and signaling data over DS-30X loops
through the DS-30X Interfaces circuits and maintenance data over the card
LAN link.

T1 interface circuit
The lineside T1 card contains one T1 line interface circuit which provides 24
individually configurable voice interfaces to one T1 link in 24 different time
slots. The circuit demultiplexes the 2.56 Mbps DS-30X Tx signaling
bitstreams from the DS-30X network loop and converts it into 1.544 mHz T1
Tx signaling bitstreams onto the T1 link. It also does the opposite, receiving
Rx signaling bitstreams from the T1 link and transmitting Rx signaling
bitstreams onto the DS-30X network loop.
The T1 interface circuit performs the following:
•

Provides an industry standard DSX-1 (0 to 655 ft./200 meters) interface.

•

Converts DS-30X signaling protocol into FXO A and B robbed bit
signaling protocol.

•

Provides switch-selectable transmission and reception of T1 signaling
messages over a T1 link in either loop or ground start mode.

Signaling and control
The lineside T1 card also contains signaling and control circuits that
establish, supervise, and take down call connections. These circuits work
with the system controller to operate the T1 line interface circuit during calls.
The circuits receive outgoing call signaling messages from the controller and
return incoming call status information to the controller over the DS-30X
network loop.

Card control functions
Control functions are provided by a microcontroller and a Card LAN link on
the lineside T1 card. A sanity timer is provided to automatically reset the card
if the microcontroller stops functioning for any reason.

Microcontrollers
The lineside T1 card contains a microcontroller that controls the internal
operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller card. The
microcontroller controls the following:
•

reporting to the CPU via the card LAN link:
— card identification (card type, vintage, serial number)
— firmware version
— self-test results
— programmed unit parameter status

•

receipt and implementation of card configuration:
— control of the T1 line interface
— enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card
— programming of loop interface control circuits for administration of
channel operation
— maintenance diagnostics

•

interface with the line card circuit:
— converts on/off-hook, and ringer control messages from the DS-30X
loop into A/B bit manipulations for each time slot in the T1 data
stream, using robbed bit signaling.

•

the front panel LED when the card is enabled or disabled by instructions
from the NT8D01 controller card.

Card LAN interface
Maintenance data is exchanged with the CPU over a dedicated asynchronous
serial network called the Card LAN link.
Sanity timer
The lineside T1 card also contains a sanity timer that resets the
microcontroller in the event of a loss of program control. The microcontroller
must service the sanity timer every 1.2 seconds. If the timer is not properly
serviced, it times out and causes the microcontroller to be hardware reset.

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Man-Machine Interface
The lineside T1 card provides an optional Man-Machine Interface (MMI) that
is primarily used for T1 link performance monitoring and problem diagnosis.
The MMI provides alarm notification, T1 link performance reporting and
fault isolation testing. The interface is accessed through connections from the
I/O panel to a terminal or modem.
The MMI is an optional feature since all T1 configuration settings are
performed through dip switch settings or preconfigured factory default
settings.

Installation and configuration
Installation and configuration of the lineside T1 card consists of six basic
steps:
1

Configure the dip switches on the lineside T1 card for the environment.

2

Install the lineside T1 card into the selected card slots in the IPE shelf.

3

Cable from the I/O panel to the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or
CSU, MMI terminal or modem (optional), external alarm (optional), and
other lineside T1 cards for daisy chaining use of MMI terminal
(optional).

4

Configure the MMI terminal.

5

Configure the lineside T1 card through the system software and verify
self-test results.

6

Verify initial T1 operation and configure MMI (optional).

Steps 1-5 are explained in this section. Step 6 is covered in “Man-Machine T1
maintenance interface software” on page 225.

Dip switch settings
Begin the installation and configuration of the lineside T1 card by selecting
the proper dip switch settings for the environment. The lineside T1 card
contains two dip switches, each containing eight switch positions. They are
located in the upper right corner of the motherboard circuit card as shown in
Figure 31 on page 206. The configuration for these switches are shown in
Tables 80 through 83.
When the line-side T1 card is oriented as shown in Figure 31 on page 206, the
dip switches are ON when they are up, and OFF when they are down. The dip
switch settings configure the card for the following parameters:
MMI port speed selection
This dip switch setting selects the appropriate baud rate for the terminal or
modem (if any) that is connected to the MMI.
Line Supervisory Signaling protocol
As described in “Lineside T1 call operation” on page 46, the lineside T1 card
is capable of supporting loop start or ground start call processing modes.
Make the selection for this dip switch position based on what type of line
signaling the CPE equipment supports.
Address of lineside T1 card to the MMI
The address of the lineside T1 card to the MMI is made up of two
components:
•

The address of the card within the shelf

•

The address of the shelf in which the card resides

These two addresses are combined to create a unique address for the card. The
MMI reads the address of the card within the shelf from the card firmware;
however the address of the shelf must be set by this dip switch.
The shelf address dip switch can be from 0 – 15. 16 is the maximum number
of lineside T1 IPE shelves (a maximum of 64 lineside T1 cards) capable of
daisy chaining to a single MMI terminal. For ease, it is recommended that this
address be set the same as the address of the peripheral controller identifier in

T1 framing
The lineside T1 card is capable of interfacing with CPE or CSU equipment
either in D4 or ESF framing mode. Make the selection for this dip switch
position based on what type of framing the CPE or CSU equipment supports.
T1 coding
The lineside T1 card is capable of interfacing with CPE or CSU equipment
using either AMI or B8ZS coding. Make the selection for this dip switch
position based on what type of coding the CPE or CSU equipment supports.
DSX-1 length
Estimate the distance between the lineside T1 card and the hardwired local
CPE, or the Telco demarc RJ48, for the carrier facility connecting the lineside
T1 and the remote CPE. Make the selection for this dip switch position based
on this distance.
Line supervision on T1 failure
This setting determines in what state all 24 ports of the lineside T1 card
appears to the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 in case of T1 failure.
Ports can appear as either in the on-hook or off-hook states on T1 failure.
Note: All idle lineside T1 lines will go off-hook and seize a Digitone
Receiver when the off-hook line processing is invoked on T1 failure.
This may prevent DID trunks from receiving incoming calls until the
lineside T1 lines time-out and release the DTRs.
Daisy-chaining to MMI
If two or more lineside T1 cards are installed and the MMI is used,
daisy-chain the cards together to use one MMI terminal or modem, See
Figure 33 on page 221. Make the selection for this dip switch position based
on how many lineside T1 cards will be installed.
MMI master or slave
This setting is used only if daisy-chaining the cards to the MMI terminal or
modem. This setting determines whether this card is a master or a slave in the
MMI daisy-chain. Select the master setting if this card is the card that is

cabled directly into the MMI terminal or modem; select the slave setting if
this card is cabled to another lineside T1 card in a daisy chain.
Tables 80 through 83 describes the proper dip switch settings for each type of
T1 link. After the card has been installed, the MMI displays the DIP switch
settings the command Display Configuration is used. See “Man-Machine T1

Installation
This section describes how to install and test the lineside T1 card.
When installed, the lineside T1 card occupies two card slots. It can be
installed into an NT8D37 IPE module.
When installing the lineside T1 card into NT8D37 IPE module, determine the
vintage level module. If the 25-pair I/O connectors are partially split between
adjacent IPE card slots, the lineside T1 card works only in card slots where
Unit 0 of the motherboard card slot appears on the first pair of the 25-pair I/
O connector.

553-3001-211

Standard 3.00

August 2005

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Page 211 of 906

Certain vintage levels have dedicated 25-pair I/O connectors only for card
slots 0, 4, 8, and 12. These vintage levels are cabled with only 16 pairs of
wires from each card slot to the I/O panel. Some of the 25-pair I/O connectors
are split between adjacent card slots. Other vintage levels cable each card slot
to the I/O panel using a unique, 24-pair connector on the I/O panel. In these
vintage levels, the lineside T1 card can be installed in any available pair of
card slots. However, because of the lower number of wire pairs cabled to the
I/O panel in the lower vintage level, only certain card slots are available to the
lineside T1 card.
See Table 84 for the vintage level information for the NT8D37 IPE
modules.

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Vintage levels cabling 16 ports
For modules with vintage levels that cabled 16 ports to the I/O panel, the
lineside T1 card can be installed into the following card slot pairs:
Available:

Motherboard/Daughterboard
0 and 1
1 and 2
4 and 5
7 and 8
8 and 9
9 and 10
12 and 13
13 and 14

The lineside T1 card cannot be installed into the following card slot pairs:
Restricted:

Motherboard/Daughterboard
2 and 3
3 and 4
6 and 7
10 and 11
11 and 12
14 and 15

If the lineside T1 card must be installed into one of the restricted card slot
pairs, rewire the IPE module card slot to the I/O panel by installing an
additional NT8D81 cable from the lineside T1 card motherboard slot to the I/
O panel. Re-arrange the three backplane connectors for the affected card
slots. This will permit the connection of the NT5D13AA lineside T1 card
carrier and maintenance external I/O cable at the IPE module I/O panel
connector for card slots that are otherwise restricted.
Also, all lineside T1 card connections can be made at the main distribution
frame instead of connecting the NT5D13 lineside T1 card external I/O cable
at the I/O panel. This eliminates these card slots restrictions.

Cabling the lineside T1 card
After configuring the dip switches and installing the lineside T1 card into the
selected card slots, the lineside T1 card is ready to be cabled to the CPE or
CSU equipment. Connections can also be made to the MMI terminal or
modem (optional), an external alarm (optional), and other lineside T1 cards
for daisy-chain use of the MMI terminal (optional).
The lineside T1 card is cabled from its backplane connector through
connections from the motherboard circuit card only (no cable connections are
made from the daughterboard circuit card) to the input/output (I/O) panel on
the rear of the IPE module. The connections from the lineside T1 card to the
I/O panel are made with the NT8D81AA Tip and Ring cables provided with
the IPE module.
Cabling from the I/O panel with the NT5D13AA lineside T1 I/O
cable
Usually, the I/O panel is connected to the T1 link and other external devices
through the NT5D13AA lineside T1 I/O cable. See Figure 32 on page 214.
This cable consists of a 25-pair amphenol connector (P1) on one end which
plugs into the I/O panel. The other end has 4 connectors:
1

a DB15 male connector (P2) which plugs into the T1 line

2

a DB9 male connector (P3) which plugs into an external alarm system

3

a second DB9 male connector (P5) which connects to an MMI terminal
or modem

4

a DB9 female connector (P4) that connects to the next lineside T1 card’s
P4 connector for MMI daisy chaining

Cabling from the I/O panel at the Main Distribution Frame
All lineside T1 connections can be made at the main distribution frame
(MDF) if it is preferred to not use the NT5D13AA lineside T1 I/O cable at the
I/O panel.

Procedure 11
Connecting to the MDF
To make the connections at the MDF, follow this procedure:
1

Punch down the first eight pairs of a standard telco 25-pair
female-connectorized cross-connect tail starting with the first tip and ring
pair of the lineside T1 motherboard card slot on the cross-connect side of
the MDF terminals.

2

Plug the NT5D13AA lineside T1 I/O cable into this 25-pair cross-connect
tail at the MDF, regardless of the card slot restrictions that exist from the
vintage level of IPE or CE module used. This connection can also be
made at the MDF without using the NT5D13 lineside T1 I/O cable, by
cross-connecting according to the pinouts in Table 85.

3

Turn over the T1 transmit and receive pairs, where required for hardwiring
the lineside T1 card to local CPE T1 terminal equipment.
End of Procedure

The backplane connector is arranged as an 80-row by 2-column array of pins.
Table 85 shows the I/O pin designations for the backplane connector and the
25-pair Amphenol connector from the I/O panel. Although the connections
from the I/O panel only use 14 of the available 50 pins, the remaining pins are
reserved and cannot be used for other signaling transmissions.
The information in Table 85 is provided as a reference and diagnostic aid at
the backplane, since the cabling arrangement can vary at the I/O panel. See
Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Installation
and Configuration (553-3021-210) for cable pinout information for the I/O
panel.

T1 connections
T1 signaling for all 24 channels is transmitted over P2 connector pins 1, 3, 9,
and 11 as shown in Table 86 on page 217. Plug the DB15 male connector
labeled “P2” into the T1 link. T1 transmit and receive pairs must be turned
over between the lineside T1 card and CPE equipment that is hardwired
without carrier facilities. If the lineside T1 card is connected through T1
carrier facilities, the transmit and receive pairs must be wired straight through
to the RJ48 at the Telco demarc, the CSU, or other T1 carrier equipment. The
T1 CPE equipment at the far end will also have transmit and receive wired
straight from the RJ48 demarc at the far end of the carrier facility.
External alarm connections
P3 connector pins 3, 4, and 28 can be plugged into any external alarm
hardware. Plug the male DB9 connector labeled “P3” into the external alarm.
These connections are optional, and the functionality of the lineside T1 card
is not affected if they are not made.
The MMI (described in detail in “Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface
software” on page 225) monitors the T1 link for specified performance
criteria and reports on problems detected.

553-3001-211

Standard 3.00

August 2005

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Page 219 of 906

One of the ways it can report information is through this external alarm
connection. If connected, the lineside T1 card’s microprocessor activates the
external alarm hardware if it detects certain T1 link problems that it has
classified as alarm levels 1 or 2. See “Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface
software” on page 225 for a detailed description of alarm levels and
configuration. If an alarm level 1 or 2 is detected by MMI, the lineside T1
card will close the contact that is normally open, and will open the contact that
is normally closed. The MMI command Clear Alarm will return the alarm
contacts to their normal state.
MMI connections
P5 connector pins 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are used to connect the lineside T1 card to
the MMI terminal and daisy chain lineside T1 cards together for access to a
shared MMI terminal. When logging into a lineside T1 card, “control 2” is
asserted by that card, which informs all of the other cards not to talk on the
bus, but rather to pass the data straight through. The pins labeled “control 1”
are reserved for future use. As with the external alarm connections, MMI
connections are optional. Up to 128 lineside T1 cards, located in up to 16
separate IPE shelves, can be linked to one MMI terminal using the daisy
chaining approach.
If only one lineside T1 card is being installed, cable from the DB9 female
connector labeled “P5” (towards MMI terminal) to one of the COM ports on
the back of any TTY, a PC running a terminal emulation program, or a
modem. For installations of only one card, no connection is made to the DB9
male connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal).
If two or more lineside T1 cards are being installed into the system, the MMI
port connections can be daisy-chained together so that only one MMI
terminal is required for up to 128 lineside T1 cards. See Figure 33 on
page 221. Cards can be located in up to 16 separate IPE shelves. Any card slot
in the IPE shelf can be connected to any other card slot; the card slots
connected together do not need to be consecutive.

Procedure 12
Connecting two or more lineside T1 cards to the MMI terminal
Follow this procedure for connecting two or more lineside T1 cards to the MMI
terminal:
1

Cable the DB9 male connector labeled “P5” (towards MMI terminal) to
one of the COM ports on the back of any TTY, a PC running a terminal
emulation program, or a modem.

2

Make the connection from the first card to the second card by plugging the

first card into the DB9 male connector of the second card labeled “P5”
(towards MMI terminal).

3

Repeat Step 2 for the remaining cards.

4

When the last card in the daisy chain is reached, make no connection to
the DB9 male connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal).

5

If two lineside T1 cards are located too far apart to connect the “P4” and
“P5” connectors together, connect them together with an off-the-shelf
DB-9 female to DB-9 male straight-through extension cable, available at
any PC supply store.

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Terminal configuration
For the MMI terminal to be able to communicate to the lineside T1 card, the
interface characteristics must be configured to the following:
•

Speed – 1200 or 2400 bps, depending on the setting of switch position 1
of Switch 1

•

Character width – 8 bits

•

Parity bit – none

•

Stop bits – one

•

Software handshake (XON/XOFF) – off

Software configuration
Although much of the architecture and many of the features of the lineside T1
card differ from the analog line card, the lineside T1 card has been designed
to emulate an analog line card to the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software. Because
of this, the lineside T1 card software configuration is performed the same as
two adjacent analog line cards.
All 24 T1 channels carried by the lineside T1 card are individually configured
using the Analog (500/2500-type) Telephone Administration program
LD 10. Use Table 87 on page 223 to determine the correct unit number and
the NTP Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 10
service change instructions.
The lineside T1 card circuitry routes 16 units (0-15) on the motherboard and
eight (0-7) units on the daughterboard to 24 T1 channels. The motherboard
circuit card is located in the left card slot, and the daughterboard circuit card
is located in right card slot. For example, if the lineside T1 card is installed
into card slots 0 and 1, the motherboard would reside in card slot 0 and the
daughterboard would reside in card slot 1. In order to configure the terminal
equipment through the switch software, the T1 channel number must be

Disconnect supervision
The lineside T1 card supports far-end disconnect supervision by opening the
tip side toward the terminal equipment upon the system's detecting a
disconnect signal from the far-end on an established call. The Supervised
Analog Line feature (SAL) must be configured in LD 10 for each lineside T1
port. At the prompt FTR, respond:
OSP 

and against FTR respond:
ISP 
The lineside T1 card treats OSP and ISP for both originating and terminating
calls as hook flash disconnect supervision, also known as cut-off disconnect.
Originating calls are outgoing from the terminal equipment. Terminating
calls are incoming to the terminal equipment. The lineside T1 card does not
support battery reversal answer and disconnect supervision on originating
calls.
After the software is configured, power up the card and verify the self test
results. The STATUS LED on the faceplate indicates whether or not the
lineside T1 card has passed its self test, and is functional. When the card is
installed, this LED remains lit for two to five seconds as the self-test runs. If
the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains
lit. When the card is configured and enabled in software, the LED goes out.
The LED goes out if either the motherboard or daughterboard is enabled by
the software. If the LED flashes continuously or remains weakly lit, replace
the card.

Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface software
Description
The Man-Machine Interface (MMI) supplies a maintenance interface to a
terminal that provides T1 link diagnostics and historical information. See
“Installation and configuration” on page 204 for instructions on how to install
the cabling and configure the terminal for the MMI.
This section describes the features of MMI and explains how to configure and
use the MMI firmware.
The MMI provides the following maintenance features:
•

default and reconfigurable alarm parameters

•

notification of T1 link problems by activating alarms

•

Reports on current and historical T1 link performance

•

T1 tests for T1 verification and fault isolation to lineside T1 card, T1
link, or CPE equipment

Alarms
MMI activates alarms for the following T1 link conditions:
•

excessive bit error rate

•

frame slip errors

•

out of frame condition

•

loss of signal condition

•

blue alarm condition

The alarms are activated in response to pre-set thresholds and error durations.
Descriptions of each of these T1 link alarm conditions, instructions on how
to configure alarm parameters, and access alarm reporting can be found in
“Alarm operation and reporting” on page 236.

Circuit Card

Description and Installation

Page 226 of 906

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards

Two levels of alarm severity exist for bit errors and frame slip errors. For
these conditions, two different threshold and duration configurations are
established.
When the first level of severity is reached (alarm level 1), the MMI will do
the following:
•

activate the external alarm hardware

•

light the appropriate LED on the faceplate (either RED ALARM or
YELLOW ALARM)

•

display an alarm message on the MMI terminal

•

create entry in the alarm log

When the second level of severity is reached (alarm level 2), the MMI will
perform all of the same functions as alarm level 1, and in addition, force the
lineside T1 card to enter trunk processing mode. In this mode, the terminal
equipment will be sent either “on-hook” or “off-hook” signals for all 24 ports
to the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1, depending on how the dip
switch for trunk processing was set (dip switch #2, position #6).
If the MMI detects T1 link failures for any of the remainder of the conditions
monitored (out of frame condition, loss of signal condition, and blue alarm
condition), the lineside T1 card automatically performs all alarm level 2
functions. The MMI also sends a yellow alarm to the distant end CPE or CSU.
Alarms can be configured to self-clear or not self-clear when the alarm
condition is no longer detected.
All alarms activated produce a record in an alarm log. The alarm log
maintains records for the most recent 100 alarms and can be displayed,
printed and cleared. The alarm log displays or prints the alarms listing the
most recent first in descending chronological order. The alarms are stamped
with the date and time they occurred.
T1 performance counters and reports
The MMI maintains performance error counters for the following T1
conditions:
•

Page 227 of 906

It retains the T1 performance statistics for the current hour, and for each hour
for the previous 24 hours. Descriptions of each of these performance error
counters, and instructions on how to report on them and clear them can be
found in “Performance counters and reporting” on page 239.
T1 verification and fault isolation testing
The MMI performs various tests to verify that the T1 is working adequately,
or help to isolate a problem to the lineside T1 card, the T1 link, or the CPE
equipment. Descriptions of all of these tests and instructions on how to run
them can be found in “Testing” on page 241.

Login and password
The MMI can be accessed through a TTY, a PC running a terminal emulation
program, or a modem. After installing the MMI terminal and card cables, the
MMI firmware can be accessed.
For single card installations, log in by entering:
L
For multiple card installations connected in a daisy-chain, log in by entering:
L 
where the four-digit address is the two-digit address of the IPE shelf as set by dip switch positions (dip switch #1, positions 3-6) on the card (as opposed to the address set in the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software), plus the two-digit address of the card slot that the motherboard occupies. For example, to login to a card located in shelf 13, card slot 4, type: L 13 4 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 228 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards A space is inserted between the login command (L), the shelf address, and the card slot address. The MMI then prompts for a password. The password is “LTILINK”, and it must be typed all in capital letters. After logging in, the prompt will then look like this: • LTI:::> for single-card installations • LTI:ss cc> for multi-card installations, where ss represents the two-digit address, and cc represents the two-digit card slot address Basic commands MMI commands can now be executed. There are seven basic commands that can be combined together to form a total of 19 command sets. They are: 553-3001-211 • Alarm • Clear • Display • Set • Test • Help • Quit Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 229 of 906 If ? is typed, the MMI will list the above commands along with an explanation of their usage A screen similar to the following will appear. The help screen can also appear by typing H, or HELP. ALARM CLEAR DISPLAY HELP SET TEST QUIT USAGE: Alarm [Enable | Disable] USAGE: Clear [Alarm] | [Error counter] [Log] USAGE: Display [Alarm | Status | Perform | History] [Pause] USAGE: Help | ? USAGE: Set [Time | Date | Alarm | Clearing | Name | Memory] USAGE: Test [Carrier All] USAGE: Quit Notation Used: CAPS - Required Letters [ ] Optional | - Either/ Or Each of these commands can be executed by typing the first letter of the command or by typing the entire command. Command sets are entered by typing the first letter of the first command, a space, and the first letter of the second command or by typing the entire command. Table 88 shows all the possible command sets, listed in alphabetical order. These commands are described by subject later in this section.

If multiple lineside T1 cards share a single terminal, logout after using the MMI. Because of the shared daisy-chained link, if a lineside T1 card is logged in, it occupies the bus and no other lineside T1 cards are able to notify the MMI of alarms. SA Set Alarm parameters Alarm parameters include the allowable bit errors per second threshold and alarm duration. SC Set Clearing Sets the alarm self-clearing function to either enable or disable. SD Set Date Sets date or verifies current date. ST Set time Sets time or verifies current time. Tx Test Initiates the T1 carrier test function. To terminate a test in process, enter the STOP TEST (S) command at any time. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 232 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Configuring parameters The MMI has been designed with default settings so that no configuration is necessary. However, it can be configured to suit a specific environment. Set Time Before configuring the MMI, login to the system and enter the current time. Do this by typing in the Set Time (S T) command set. The MMI will then display the time it has registered. Enter a new time or press “Enter” to leave it unchanged. The time is entered in the “hh:mm:ss” military time format. Set Date The current date must be set. Do this by typing in the Set Date (S D) command set. MMI will then display the date it has registered. Enter a new date or press “Enter” to leave it unchanged. The date is entered in the “mm/dd/yy” format. Alarm parameters The Set Alarm (S A) command set establishes the parameters by which an alarm is activated, and its duration. There are three alarm activation levels: 553-3001-211 • Alarm Level 0 (AL0) consists of activity with an error threshold below the AL1 setting. This is a satisfactory condition and no alarm is activated. • Alarm Level 1 (AL1) consists of activity with an error threshold above the AL1 setting but below AL2 setting. This is a minor unsatisfactory condition. In this situation, the external alarm hardware will be activated by closing the normally open contact, the RED ALARM LED on the faceplate will light, and an alarm message will be created in the alarm log and the MMI terminal. • Alarm Level 2 (AL2) consists of activity with an error threshold above the AL2 setting. This is an unsatisfactory condition. In this situation, the external alarm hardware will be activated by closing the normally open contact, the RED ALARM LED on the faceplate will light, an alarm message will be created in the alarm log and the MMI terminal, the lineside T1 card will enter line processing mode, and a yellow alarm message will be sent to the CPE/CSU. Line processing will send the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 either all “on-hook” or all “off-hook” signals, depending on the dip switch setting of the card. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 233 of 906 When the Set Alarm command is used, a prompt appears to configure the threshold level and duration period for alarm levels 1 and 2. The threshold value indicates the number of bit errors detected per second that is necessary to activate the alarm. The T1 link processes at a rate of approximately 1.5 mb/s. The threshold value can be set between 3 and 9 and can be different for each alarm level. Any other value entered will cause the software to display a “Parameter Invalid” message. The threshold number entered represents the respective power of 10 as shown in Table 89. Note: The error rate threshold for a level 2 alarm must be greater (a smaller power of 10) than for a level 1 alarm. Table 89 T1 bit error rate threshold settings Alarm threshold bit errors per second in power of 10 Threshold to set alarm Allowable duration periods 10–3 1,500/second 1–21 seconds 10–4 150/second 1–218 seconds 10–5 15/second 1–2148 seconds 10–6 1.5/second 1–3600 seconds 10–7 1.5/10 seconds 10–3600 seconds 10–8 1.5/100 seconds 100–3600 seconds 10–9 1.5/1000 seconds 1000–3600 seconds The duration value is set in seconds and can be set from 1 to 3600 seconds (1 hour). This duration value indicates how long the alarm will last. Low bit error rates (10-7 through 10-9) are restricted to longer durations since it takes more than one second to detect an alarm condition above 10-6. Higher bit error rates are restricted to shorter durations because the MMI error counter fills at 65,000 errors. The alarm indications (LEDs and external alarm contacts) clear automatically after the duration period has expired, if the Set Clearing (S C) “Enable Self Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 234 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Clearing” option has been set. Otherwise, the alarm will continue until the command set Clear Alarm (C A) has been entered. When an alarm is cleared, the following activity caused by the alarm will be cleared: • the external alarm hardware will be deactivated (the contact normally open will be reopened) • the LED light will go out • an entry will be made in the alarm log of the date and time the alarm was cleared • carrier fail line supervision will cease (for alarm level 2 only) If self-clearing alarm indications have been disabled, carrier fail line supervision will terminate when the alarm condition has ceased, but the alarm contact and faceplate LED will remain active until the alarm is cleared. Note: A heavy bit error rate can cause 150 bit errors to occur in less than 100 seconds. This will cause the alarm to be activated sooner. An alarm will not be automatically cleared until the system no longer detects the respective bit error threshold during the corresponding duration period. For example, if an AL1 threshold of 6 (representing 10–6) and a duration period of 100 seconds is specified, an alarm will be activated if more than 150 bit errors occur in any 100 second period (1.5 seconds X 100 seconds = 150/ 100 seconds). As soon as the alarm is activated, the bit counter is reset to 0. If the next 100 seconds pass, and less than 150 bit errors are detected, then the alarm will clear after the duration period. However, if more than 150 bit errors are detected in the next 100 seconds, the alarm continues for the designated duration period. The alarm will finally clear when the alarm condition is no longer detected for the designated duration period either by self-clearing (if this function is enabled), or when the Clear Alarm (C A) command set is entered. In addition to bit errors, the Set Alarm function configures parameters for detecting frame slip errors, by establishing a threshold necessary to activate an alarm. If the threshold value is exceeded, a level 2 alarm will be activated. The frame slip threshold can be specified from 1 to 255 frame slips per time period. The duration time period can be specified from 1 to 24 hours. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 235 of 906 When entering the Set Alarm command set, the MMI will scroll through the previously described series of alarm options. These options are displayed along with their current value. Enter a new value or press Enter to retain the current value. Table 90 outlines the options available in the Set Alarm function. Table 90 Set alarm options Option Description AL1 Threshold Sets the allowable bit errors per second (from 3 to 9) before alarm level 1 is activated. Factory default is 10–6. AL1 Duration Sets the duration in seconds (from 1 to 3,600 seconds) that alarm level 1 is activated. Factory default is 10 seconds. AL2 Threshold Sets the allowable bit errors per second (from 3 to 9) before alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 10-5. AL2 Duration Sets the duration in seconds (from 1 to 3,600 seconds) that alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 10 seconds. Frame Slip Threshold Sets the allowable frame slips per time period (from 1 to 255) before alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 5. Frame Slip Duration Sets the duration in hours (from 1 to 24) that the frame slips are counted. After this time period, the counter is reset to 0. Factory default is 2 hours. Note: If the duration period is set too long, the lineside T1 card will be slow to return to service automatically even when the carrier is no longer experiencing any errors. The Clear Alarm command will have to be entered manually to restore service promptly. To avoid this, the duration period should normally be set to 10 seconds. Set Clearing Use the Set Clearing (S C) command set to enable or disable alarm self-clearing. Answer Y or N to the question: “Enable Self Clearing? (YES or NO)”. If “Enable Self-Clearing” is chosen (the factory default condition), the system will automatically clear alarms after the alarm condition is no longer detected for the corresponding duration period. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 236 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards The “Disable Self-Clearing” option causes the system to continue the alarm condition until the Clear Alarm (C A) command set is entered. Line processing and the yellow alarm indication to the CPE is terminated as soon as the alarm condition clears, even if “Disable Self-Clearing” is set. Display Configuration The Display Configuration (D C) command set displays the various configuration settings established for the lineside T1 card. Entering the Display Configuration (D C) command set causes a screen similar to the following to appear: LTI S/N 1103 Software Version 1.01 Alarms Enabled: YES 3/03/95 1:50 Self Clearing Enabled: YES Alarm Level 1 threshold value: E-7 (in seconds): 10 Threshold duration Alarm Level 2 threshold value: E-5 (in seconds): 1 Threshold duration Frame slips alarm level threshold: 5 (in hours): 2 Threshold duration Current dip switch S1 settings (S1..S8) On Off Off On Off Off Off On Current dip switch S2 settings (S1..S8) On Off On Off Off Off On Off Alarm operation and reporting The MMI monitors the T1 link according to the parameters established through the Set Alarm command set for the following conditions: 553-3001-211 • Excessive bit error rate • Frame slip errors • Out of frame condition • Loss of signal condition • Blue alarm (AIS) condition Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 237 of 906 Descriptions of the excessive bit error rate and frame slip errors conditions can be found in “Configuring parameters” on page 232. Bit errors may activate either a level 1 or level 2 alarm. The remaining conditions, when detected, will always cause the system to activate a level 2 alarm. An out of frame condition will be declared if two out of four frame bits are in error. If this condition occurs, the hardware will immediately attempt to reframe. During the reframe time, the T1 link will be declared out of frame, and silence will be sent on all receive timeslots. A loss of signal condition is declared if a full frame (192 bits) of consecutive zeros has been detected at the receive inputs. If this condition occurs, the T1 link will automatically attempt to resynchronize with the distant end. If this condition lasts for more than two seconds, a level 2 alarm will be declared, and silence will be sent on all receive timeslots. The alarm will be cleared if, after two seconds, neither a loss of signal, out of frame condition, nor blue alarm condition occurs. If a repeating device loses signal, it immediately begins sending an unframed all 1’s signal to the far-end to indicate an alarm condition. This condition is called a blue alarm, or an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). If an AIS is detected for more than two seconds, a level 2 alarm will be declared, and silence will be sent on all receive timeslots. The alarm will be cleared if, after two seconds, neither a loss of signal, out of frame condition, nor blue alarm condition occurs. Alarm Disable The Alarm Disable (A D) command disables the external alarm contacts. When this command is typed, the MMI will display the message “Alarms Disabled” and the MAINT LED will light. In this mode, no yellow alarms are sent and the lineside T1 card will not enter line processing mode. Alarm messages will still be sent to the MMI terminal and the LED light will continue to indicate alarm conditions. Alarm Enable The Alarm Enable (A E) command set does the opposite of the Alarm Disable command set. It enables the external alarm contacts. When this command set is typed in, the MMI will display the message “Alarms Enabled.” In this Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 238 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards mode, yellow alarms can be sent and the lineside T1 card can enter line processing mode. Clear Alarm The Clear Alarm (C A) command set will clear all activity initiated by an alarm: the external alarm hardware will be deactivated (the contact normally open will be reopened), the LED light will go out, an entry will be made in the alarm log of the date and time the alarm was cleared, and line processing will cease (for alarm level 2 only). When this command set is typed in, the MMI will display the message “Alarm acknowledged.” If the alarm condition still exists, the alarm will be declared again. Display Alarms A detailed report of the most recent 100 alarms with time and date stamps can be displayed by entering the Display Alarms (D A) command set into the MMI. Entering the Display Alarms (D A) command set will cause a screen similar to the following to appear: Alarm Log 3/03/95 1:48 Yellow alarm on T1 carrier 3/03/95 1:50 Initialized Memory 3/03/95 2:33 T1 carrier level 1 alarm 3/03/95 3:47 T1 carrier level 2 alarm 3/03/95 4:43 T1 carrier performance within thresholds 3/03/95 15:01 Log Cleared The Pause command can be used to display a full screen at a time by entering D A P. Clear Alarm Log Clear all entries in the alarm log by typing in the Clear Alarm Log (C A L) command set. Display Status The Display Status (D S) command set displays the current alarm condition of the T1 link as well as the on-hook or off-hook status of each of the 24 ports 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 239 of 906 of the lineside T1 card. Entering the Display Status (D S) command set will cause a screen similar to the following to appear: LTI S/N Software Version 1.01 3/03/95 1:50 In alarm state: NO T1 link at alarm level 0 Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port Port 0 off hook, Port 1 on hook, Port 2 on hook, 3 on hook, 4 on hook, Port 5 on hook, Port 6 off hook, 7 off hook, 8 off hook, Port 9 on hook, Port 10 on hook, 11 on hook, 12 off hook, Port 13 on hook, Port 14 on hook, 15 on hook, 16 on hook, Port 17 on hook, Port 18 off hook, 19 off hook, 20 off hook, Port 21 on hook, Port 22 on hook, 23 on hook Performance counters and reporting The MMI monitors the performance of the T1 link according to several performance criteria including errored, bursty, unavailable, loss of frame and frame slip seconds. It registers the performance of these criteria by reading their status every second and counting their results. These counts are accumulated for an hour, and then they are reset to 0. Previous hour count results are maintained for each hour for the previous 24 hours. Performance counts are maintained for the following: • Errored seconds – one or more CRC-6 errors, or one or more out of frame errors in a second. • Bursty seconds – more than one and less than 320 CRC-6 errors in a second. • Unavailable seconds – unavailable state starts with 10 consecutive severely errored seconds and ends with 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (excluding the final 10 non-severely errored seconds). Severely errored seconds are defined as more than 320 CRC-6 errors, or one or more out of frames in a second. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 240 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards • Loss of frame seconds – loss of frame or loss of signal for three consecutive seconds. • Framer slip seconds – one ore more frame slips in a second. The MMI also maintains an overall error counter that is a sum of all the errors counted for the five performance criteria listed above. The error counter can only be cleared by entering the “Clear Error” command. It will stop counting at 65,000. The error counter provides an easy method to determine if an alarm condition has been corrected. Simply clear the error counter, wait a few minutes, and display performance to see if any errors have occurred since the counter was cleared. Display the reports on these performance counters by entering the Display Performance (D P) or the Display History (D H) command sets into the MMI. Display Performance Enter the Display Performance (D P) command set to display performance counters for the past hour.

Clear Error Reset the error counter to zero by entering the Clear Error (C E) command set. The error counter provides a convenient way to determine if the T1 link is performing without errors since it can be cleared and examined at any time. Testing The Test Carrier (T C) command set enables tests to be run on the lineside T1 card, the T1 link, or the CPE device. These three tests provide the capability to isolate faulty conditions in any one of these three sources. See Table 91 on page 242 for additional information on these three test types. After entering the T C command set, select which test to start. The prompt appears, similar to the following: Test 1: Local Loopback Test Test 2: External Loopback Test Test 3: Network Loopback Test (1,2,3 or S to cancel): Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 242 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Tests can be performed once (for 1 through 98 minutes), or continuously (selected by entering 99 minutes) until a “Stop Test” command is entered. Tests continue for the duration specified even if a failure occurs, and terminate at the end of the time period or when a “Stop Test” command is issued. Only a “Stop Test” command will stop a test with a duration selection of 99. After entering the test number selection, a prompt similar to the following will appear: Enter Duration of Test (1-98 Mins, 0 = Once, 99 = Forever) Verify DS-30A Links are disabled. Hit Q to quit or any Key to Continue Before a test is run, verify that DS-30A links are disabled since the tests will interfere with calls currently in process. During a test, if an invalid word is received, a failure peg counter is incremented. The peg counter saturates at 65,000 counts. At the end of the test, the Test Results message will indicate how many failures, if any, occurred during the test. Table 91 shows which test to run for the associated equipment. Table 91 MMI Tests Test number Equipment tested Test description 1 Lineside T1 card Local loopback 2 T1 link, lineside T1 card and T1 network External loopback 3 CPE device and T1 network Network loopback Test 1, local loopback, loops the T1 link signaling toward itself at the backplane connector, and test data is generated and received on all timeslots. If this test fails, it indicates that the lineside T1 card is defective. Figure 34 on page 243 demonstrates how the signaling is looped back toward itself. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 243 of 906 Figure 34 MMI local loopback test System Line side T-1 interface card Common Equipment T-1 link External T-1 link network Customer premise equipment (CPE) 553-AAA1120 Test 2, external loopback, assumes an external loopback is applied to the T1 link. Test data is generated and received by the lineside T1 card on all timeslots. If test 1 passes but test 2 fails, it indicates that the T1 link is defective between the lineside T1 card and the external loopback location. If test 1 was not run and test 2 fails, the T1 link or the lineside T1 card could be defective. To isolate the failure to the T1 link, tests 1 and 2 must be run in tandem. Figure 35 demonstrates how an external loopback is applied to the T1 link.

No test data is generated or received by the lineside T1 card. If test 2 passes but test 3 fails, it indicates that the CPE device is defective. If test 2 was not run and test 3 fails, the T1 link or the CPE device could be defective. To isolate the failure to the CPE device, tests 2 and 3 must be run Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 244 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards in tandem.

Some examples of applications where a lineside T1 card can be interfaced to a T1 link are: • T1 compatible Voice Response Unit (VRU) equipment • T1 compatible turret systems • T1 compatible wireless systems • Remote analog (500/2500-type) telephones through T1 to a channel bank • Remote Norstar sites behind CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 over T1 The lineside T1 card is appropriate for any application where both T1 connectivity and “lineside” functionality is required. This includes connections to T1-compatible voice response units, voice messaging and trading turret (used in stock market applications) systems. See Figure 37. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 245 of 906 Figure 37 Lineside T1 interface connection to IPE System T1 Line-side T1 interface LTI Trunks Public network Third-party peripheral equipment with T1 interface 553-AAA1123 For example, the lineside T1 card can be used to connect the system to a T1-compatible VRU. An example of this type of equipment is Nortel Open IVR system. In this way, the system can send a call to the VRU. Because the lineside T1 card supports analog (500/2500-type) telephones, the VRU is able to send the call back to the system for further handling. The lineside T1 card can also be used to provide off-premise extensions to remote locations (up to 500 miles from the system). In this application, the analog telephone functionality is extended over T1 facilities, providing a telephone at a remote site with access to analog (500/2500-type) telephone lines. See Figure 38 on page 246. An audible message-waiting indicator can be provided as well.

See Figure 39. In this case, channel banks would not be required if the Norstar system is equipped with a T1 interface.

The LEI interfaces one E1 line, carrying 30 channels, to the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, or Meridian 1, and emulates an analog line card to the system software. Each channel is independently configured by software control Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 250 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards in the Analog (500/2500-type) Telephone Administration program LD 10. The LEI also comes equipped with a Man-Machine Interface (MMI) maintenance program, which provides diagnostic information regarding the status of the E1 link. • NT5D33AC/NT5D34AC – Enhanced Lineside E1 Interface (ELEI) cards The ELEI card is similar to an LEI card, but has been enhanced to allow the capability of transporting caller information using the proprietary signaling interface Channel Associated Signaling (CAS+). ELEI cards can operate in one of two modes: LEI mode, or enhanced (ELEI) mode. In LEI mode, this card is fully compatible with, and provides the same functionality as, the standard LEI card. In ELEI mode, this card can be connected to any CAS+ compliant systems. This includes wireless server hosting Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephones (DECTs), voice response units, voice messaging systems, and trading turret systems (used in stock market applications). More information regarding CAS+ can be obtained through Nortel Development Partner program. Note: As the ELEI cards provide identical functionality to LEI cards, references to LEI cards in this chapter also apply to ELEI cards unless specified otherwise. Install the NT5D33 version of the LEI/ELEI card in the NT8D37 IPE module. Install the NT5D34 version of the LEI/ELEI card in: • the NTAK11 Cabinet • the NTAK12 Expansion Cabinet • the NT1P70 Small Remote IPE Main Cabinet • the NTAK12 Small Remote IPE Expansion Cabinet Physical description The LEI mounts in two consecutive card slots in the IPE shelf. It uses 16 channels on the first slot and 14 channels on the second. The LEI includes a 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 251 of 906 motherboard (31.75 by 25.40 cm (12.5 by 10 in) and a daughterboard (5.08 by 15.24 cm (2 by 6 in). Card connections The LEI uses the NT8D81AA Tip and Ring cable to connect from the IPE backplane to the 25-pair Amphenol connector on the IPE Input/Output (I/O) panel. The I/O panel connector connects to a E1 line, external alarm and an MMI terminal or modem, using the NT5D35 or NT5D36 lineside I/O cable available from Nortel. Faceplate The LEI faceplate is twice as wide as the other standard analog and digital line cards. It occupies two card slots. The LE1 faceplate has four LEDs. See Figure 40 on page 252 (IPE version), and Figure 41 on page 253 (Cabinet system). Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 252 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Figure 40 NT5D33AB LEI card – faceplate 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 253 of 906 Figure 41 NT5D34AB LEI card – faceplate Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 254 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards The LEDs give status indications on the operations as described in Table 92. Table 92 LEI card LED operation LED Operation Status Line card Red alarm E1 near end Yellow alarm E1 far end Maint Maintenance The STATUS LED indicates if the LEI has successfully passed its self test, and therefore, if it is functional. When the card is installed, this LED remains lit for two to five seconds as the self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is configured and enabled in software, the LED goes out. If the LED continually flashes or remains weakly lit, replace the card. The STATUS LED indicates the enabled/disabled status of both card slots of the LEI simultaneously. To properly enable the card, both the motherboard and the daughterboard slots must be enabled. The STATUS LED will turn off as soon as either one of the LEI slots have been enabled. No LED operation will be observed when the second card slot is enabled. To properly disable the card, both card slots must be disabled. The LED will not turn on until both card slots have been disabled. The RED ALARM LED indicates if the LEI has detected an alarm condition from the E1 link. Alarm conditions can include such conditions as not receiving a signal, the signal has exceeded bit error thresholds or frame slip thresholds. See “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284 for information on E1 link maintenance. If one of these alarm conditions is detected, this LED will light. Yellow alarm indication is sent to the far end as long as the near end remains in a red alarm 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 255 of 906 condition. Depending on how the Man Machine Interface (MMI) is configured, this LED will remain lit until one the following actions occur: • If the “Self-Clearing” function is enabled in the MMI, the LED will clear the alarm when the alarm condition is no longer detected. This is the factory default configuration. • If the “Self-Clearing” function has not been enabled or it has been subsequently disabled in the MMI, the LED alarm indication will stay lit until the command “Clear Alarm” has been typed in the MMI, even though the carrier automatically returned to service when the alarm condition was no longer detected. The YELLOW ALARM LED indicates that the LEI has detected a yellow alarm signal from the terminal equipment side of the E1 link. See “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284 for information on E1 link maintenance. If the terminal equipment detects a red alarm condition such as not receiving a signal, or the signal exceeds bit-error thresholds or frame-slip thresholds, a yellow alarm signal is sent to the LEI, if the terminal equipment supports this feature. If a yellow alarm signal is detected, this LED will light. The MAINT LED indicates if LEI is fully operational because of certain maintenance commands that are issued through the MMI. See “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284 for information on E1 link maintenance. If the card detects that tests are being run or that alarms have been disabled through the MMI, this LED will light and will remain lit until these conditions are no longer detected, then it turns off. Functional description Figure 42 on page 256 shows a block diagram of the major functions contained on the LEI card. Each of these functions is described on the following pages. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 256 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Figure 42 LEI card – block diagram 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 257 of 906 Overview The LEI card is an IPE line card that provides a cost-effective, all-digital connection between E1 compatible terminal equipment (such as voice mail systems, voice response units, trading turrets, etc.) and the system. In this application, the terminal equipment can be assured access to analog (500/ 2500-type) telephone line functionality such as hook flash, SPRE codes and ringback tones. The LEI supports line supervision features such as loop and ground start protocols. It can also be used in an off-premise arrangement where analog (500/2500-type) telephones are extended over twisted-pair or coaxial E1 with the use of channel bank equipment. The LEI offers significant improvement over the previous alternatives. For example, if a digital “trunk-side” connection were used, such as with the DTI/ PRI interface card, “lineside” functionality would not be supported. Previously, the only way to achieve lineside functionality was to use analog ports and channel bank equipment. With the LEI, a direct connection is provided to the IPE. No channel bank equipment is required, resulting in a more robust and reliable connection. When used for connecting to third-party applications equipment, the LEI offers a number of benefits. It is a more cost-effective alternative for connection because it eliminates the need for expensive channel bank equipment. The LEI card supports powerful E1 monitoring, and diagnostic capability. Overall costs for customer applications may also be reduced because the E1-compatible IPE is often more attractively priced than the analog-port alternatives. The LEI is compatible with all IPE-based systems and with standard public or private CEPT-type carrier facilities. It supports CRC-4- or FAS only framing formats as well as AMI or HDB3 coding. Because it uses standard PCM in standard E1 timeslots, existing E1 test equipment remains compatible for diagnostic and fault isolation purposes. A/B Bit signaling may be customized according to the user’s system, including the Australian P2 signaling scheme. Card interfaces The LEI passes voice and signaling data over DS-30X loops through the DS-30X Interface circuits and maintenance data over the card LAN link. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 258 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards E1 interface circuit The LEI contains one E1 line-interface circuit which provides 30 individually configurable voice interfaces to one E1 link in 30 different time slots. The circuit demultiplexes the 2.56 Mbps DS-30X transmit signaling bitstreams from the DS-30X network loop and converts it into 2.048 mHz E1 transmit signaling bitstreams onto the E1 link. It also does the opposite, receiving receive signaling bitstreams from the E1 link and transmitting receive signaling bitstreams onto the DS-30X network loop. The E1 interface circuit provides the following: • An industry standard CEPT (0 to 655 feet) interface • DS-30X signaling protocol into FXO A- and B-channel-associated signaling protocol • Switch-selectable transmission and reception of E1 signaling messages over an E1 link in either loop or ground start mode • Switch-selectable call processing between the Australian P2, North American Standard, or other user-configurable schemes Signaling and control The LEI also contains signaling and control circuits that establish, supervise, and take down call connections. These circuits work with the system controller to operate the E1 line interface circuit during calls. The circuits receive outgoing call signaling messages from the controller and return incoming call status information to the controller over the DS-30X network loop. Card control functions Control functions are provided by a microcontroller and a card LAN link on the LEI. A sanity timer is provided to automatically reset the card if the microcontroller stops functioning for any reason. Microcontrollers The LEI contains a microcontroller that controls the internal operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller card. The microcontroller controls the following: • 553-3001-211 reporting to the CE CP through the card LAN link Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 259 of 906 — card identification (card type, vintage, serial number) — firmware version — self-test results — programmed unit parameter status • receipt and implementation of card configuration — control of the E1 line interface — enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card — programming of loop interface control circuits for administration of channel operation — maintenance diagnostics • interface with the line card circuit — converts on/off-hook, and ringer control messages from the DS-30X loop into A/B bit manipulations for each time slot in the E1 data stream, using channel associated signaling. • the front panel LED when the card is enabled or disabled by instructions from the NT8D01 controller card. Card LAN interface Maintenance data is exchanged with the Common Equipment CPU over a dedicated asynchronous serial network called the Card LAN link. The Card LAN link is described in “Card LAN link” on page 36. Sanity Timer The LEI also contains a sanity timer that resets the microcontroller in the event of a loss of program control. If the timer is not properly serviced by the microcontroller, it times out and causes the microcontroller to be hardware-reset. If the microcontroller loses control and fails to service the sanity timer at least once per second, the sanity timer will automatically reset the microcontroller, restoring program control. Man-Machine Interface The LEI provides an optional Man-Machine Interface (MMI) that is primarily used for E1 link performance monitoring and problem diagnosis. The MMI Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 260 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards provides alarm notification, E1 link performance reporting, and fault isolation testing. The interface is accessed through connections from the I/O panel to a terminal or modem. Multiple cards (up to 64) can be served through one MMI terminal or modem by linking the LEIs through a daisy chain. The MMI is an optional feature, since all E1 configuration settings are performed through dip switch settings or preconfigured factory default settings. Available MMI commands, and their functionality, are discussed in-depth in “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284. ELEI additional functionality As mentioned earlier, ELEI cards are enhanced to allow CAS+ compliance, as shown in Figure 43. This enhancement provides several additional benefits for systems with ELEI cards installed. Note: MDECTS and ELEI (operating in enhanced mode) cannot be configured on the same system. Figure 43 CAS+ compliance TDM or IP public/private network Nortel Meridian 1 or CS 1000S ELEI CAS CAS+ compliant system Key Benefits of using CAS+ signaling (ELEI mode) over traditional A/B bit signaling (LEI mode) include: 1 Calling Line ID Presentation (CLIP) When an incoming call over the TDM/IP network or a CS 1000 originated call is directed towards the CAS+ compliant system, Calling Line ID can be provided over the CAS+ interface. This is assuming that the incoming call has the CLID without any presentation restrictions. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards 2 Page 261 of 906 Redirecting Line ID Presentation (RLIP) When an incoming call over the TDM/IP network or a CS 1000 originated call which has undergone redirections is directed towards the CAS+ compliant system, Redirecting Line ID can be provided over the CAS+ interface. This is assuming that the incoming call has the Redirecting Line ID without any presentation restrictions. 3 Message waiting indication (MWI) Message waiting indication can be provided over the CAS+ interface. Electrical specifications Table 93 provides a technical summary of the E1 line interface. Table 94 on page 262 lists the maximum power consumed by the card. E1 channel specifications Table 93 provides specifications for the 30 E1 channels. Each characteristic is set by a dip switch. See “Installation and Configuration” on page 263. for a discussion of the corresponding dip switch settings.

Current 5.0 V dc 1.6 Amp +15.0 V dc 150 mA -15.0 V dc 150 mA Foreign and surge voltage protections In-circuit protection against power line crosses or lightning strikes is not provided on the LEI. It does, however, have protection against accidental shorts to –52 V dc analog lines. When the card is used to service off-premise terminal equipment through the public telephone network, install a Line Termination Unit (LTU) as part of the terminal equipment to provide external line protection. Environmental specifications Table 95 shows the environmental specifications of the LEI. Table 95 LEI card – environmental specifications (Part 1 of 2) Parameter Specifications Operating temperature – normal 15° to +30° C (+59° to 86° F), ambient Operating temperature – short term 10° to +45° C (+50 to 113° F), ambient Operating humidity – normal 20% to 55% RH (non-condensing) Operating humidity – short term 20% to 80% RH (non condensing) 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 263 of 906 Table 95 LEI card – environmental specifications (Part 2 of 2) Parameter Specifications Storage temperature –50° to + 70° C (–58° to 158° F), ambient Storage humidity 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing) Installation and Configuration Installation and configuration of the LEI consists of six basic steps: 1 Configure the dip switches on the LEI for the call environment. 2 Install the LEI into the selected card slots. 3 Cable from the I/O panel to the LTU, MMI terminal or modem (optional), external alarm (optional), and other LEIs for daisy chaining use of MMI terminal (optional). 4 Configure the MMI terminal. 5 Configure the LEI through the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software and verify self-test results. 6 Verify initial E1 operation and configure MMI (optional). Steps 1-5 are explained in this section. Step 6 is covered in “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284. Installation and configuration of the ELEI follows the same steps. If enhanced functionality is required, then one additional step is required: 7 The Meridian 1 line unit(s) associated with the lineside E1 must be programmed for wireless operation (set WTYP=DECT, and WRLS=Yes in LD 10) in non–concentrated mode. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) details on LD 10. Dip switch settings Begin the installation and configuration of the LEI by selecting the proper dip switch settings for the environment. The LEI contains two dip switches, each containing eight switch positions. They are located in the upper right corner Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 264 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards of the motherboard circuit card as shown in Figure 44 on page 266. The settings for these switches are shown in Table 96 on page 267 through Table 99 on page 270. When the LEI card is oriented as shown in Figure 44 on page 266, the dip switches are ON when they are up, and OFF when they are down. The dip switch settings configure the card for the following parameters: MMI port speed selection This dip switch setting selects the appropriate baud rate for the terminal or modem (if any) that is connected to the MMI. Line Supervisory Signaling protocol The LEI is capable of supporting loop start or ground start call processing modes. Make the selection for this dip switch position based on what type of line signaling the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) supports. Address of LEI to the MMI The address of the LEI to the MMI is made up of two components: • the address of the card within the shelf • the address of the shelf in which the card resides These two addresses are combined to create a unique address for the card. The MMI reads the address of the card within the shelf from the card firmware; the address of the shelf must be set by this dip switch. The shelf address dip switch can be from 0 to 15, 16 being the maximum number of lineside E1 IPE shelves (a maximum of 64 LEI cards) capable of daisy chaining to a single MMI terminal. For ease, it is recommended that this address be set the same as the address of the peripheral controller identifier in LD 97 for type: XPE. However, this is not mandatory, and, since the dip switch is limited to 16, this will not always be possible. E1 framing The LEI is capable of interfacing with LTU equipment either in CRC-4 or FAS only framing mode.

Ports can appear as either in the “on-hook” or “off-hook” states on E1 failure. Note: All idle LEI lines will go off-hook and seize a Digitone Receiver when the off-hook line processing is invoked on E1 failure. This may prevent DID trunks from receiving incoming calls until the LEI lines time-out and release the DTRs. Daisy-Chaining to MMI If two or more LEIs will be installed and the MMI used, daisy-chain the cards together to use one MMI terminal or modem. Make the selection for this dip switch position based on how many LEIs are being installed. MMI Master or Slave This setting is used only if daisy-chaining the cards to the MMI terminal or modem. It determines whether this card is a master or a slave in the daisy chain. Select the master setting if there are no LEIs between this card and the MMI terminal or modem. Select the slave setting if there are other cards in the daisy chain between this card and the MMI. Tables 96 through 98 show the dip switch settings for Switch #1.

See “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284 for details on this and the rest of the available MMI commands. Installation Because of the wiring in some of the system modules and cabinets, the LEI will only work in certain card slot pairs. These restrictions depend on the type Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 272 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards of module or cabinet. In all other modules or cabinets where the conditions listed below do not exist, the LEI will work in any two adjacent card slots: • In the NTAK12 Small Remote IPE Expansion Cabinet only card slots 10-15 are available. • In the NT8D37 IPE module, if the 25-pair I/O connectors are partially split between adjacent IPE card slots, the LEI works only in card slots where Unit 0 of the motherboard card slot appear on the first pair of the 25-pair I/O connector. If installing the LEI into the NT8D37 IPE module, determine the vintage level model. Certain vintage levels have dedicated 25-pair I/O connectors only for card slots 0, 4, 8, and 12. These vintage levels are cabled with only 16 pairs of wires from each card slot to the I/O panel. Some of the 25-pair I/O connectors are split between adjacent card slots. Other vintage levels cable each card slot to the I/O panel using a unique, 24-pair connector on the I/O panel. In these vintage levels, the LEI can be installed in any available pair of card slots. However, because of the lower number of wire pairs cabled to the I/O panel in the lower vintage level, only certain card slots are available to the LEI. See Table 101 for the vintage level information for the NT8D37 IPE modules. Table 101 LEI card – NT8D37 IPE module vintage level port cabling Vintage Level Number of ports cabled to I/O panel NT8D37BA 30 ports NT8D37DE 16 ports NT8D37EC 30 ports Available and restricted card slots in the NT8D37 IPE module If installing the LEI into an NT8D37 IPE module, the card slots available depend on the vintage level module. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 273 of 906 Vintage levels cabling 30 ports: For modules with vintage levels that cabled 30 ports to the I/O panel, the LEI can be installed in any pair of card slots 0-15. Vintage levels cabling 16 ports: For modules with vintage levels that cable 16 ports to the I/O panel, the LEI can be installed into the card slot pairs shown in the following card slots: Available: Motherboard/Daughterboard 0 and 1 1 and 2 4 and 5 5 and 6 8 and 9 9 and 10 12 and 13 13 and 14 LEIs must not be installed into the following card slot pairs: Restricted: Motherboard/Daughterboard 2 and 3 3 and 4 6 and 7 10 and 11 11 and 12 14 and 15 If the LEI must be installed into one of the restricted card slot pairs, rewire the IPE module card slot to the I/O panel by installing an additional NT8D81 cable from the LEI motherboard slot to the I/O panel, and re-arranging the three backplane connectors for the affected card slots. This will permit the connection of the NT5D35AA or NT5D36AA LEI card carrier and maintenance external I/O cable at the IPE and CE module I/O panel connector for card slots that are otherwise restricted. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 274 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Alternatively, all LEI connections can be made at the main distribution frame instead of connecting the NT5D35AA or NT5D36AA LEI card external I/O cable at the I/O panel. This eliminates these card slot restrictions. Cabling the LEI card After the dip switches are configured and the LEI installed into the selected card slots, the LEI can be cabled to the LTU equipment, the MMI terminal or modem (optional), an external alarm (optional), and other LEIs for daisy chaining use of the MMI terminal (optional). The LEI is cabled from its backplane connector through connections from the motherboard circuit card only to the I/O panel on the rear of the IPE module. No cable connections are made from the daughterboard circuit card. The connections from the LEI to the I/O panel are made with the NT8D81AA Tip and Ring cables provided with the IPE module. Cabling from the I/O panel with the NT5D35AA or NT5D36AA lineside E1 I/O cable In a twisted-pair E1 installation, make the connection from the I/O panel to the E1 link and other external devices with the NT5D35AA lineside E1 I/O cable. This cable consists of a 25-pair amphenol connector (P1) on one end which plugs into the I/O panel. The other end has four connectors: 1 a DB15 male connector (P2), which plugs into the E1 line 2 a DB9 male connector (P3), which plugs into an external alarm system 3 a second DB9 male connector (P5), which connects to an MMI terminal or modem 4 a DB9 female connector (P4), which connects to the next LEI’s P4 connector for MMI daisy chaining In a coaxial E1 installation, make the connection from the I/O panel to the E1 link and other external devices through the NT5D36AA lineside E1 I/O cable. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 275 of 906 This cable consists of a 25-pair amphenol connector (P1) on one end which plugs into the I/O panel.

The Tx marking on the adapter at P2 is the LEI output. The E1 data stream coming from the network into the LEI connects at the Rx coaxial connector Table 102 shows the pin assignments of the LEI backplane and I/O Panel.

Wired as DCE. Data is transmitted on pin 2 (RXD) and received on pin 3 (TXD) DB9 female away from MMI terminal (P4) E1 Connections For twisted-pair installations, E1 signaling for all 30 channels is transmitted over P2 connector pins 1, 3, 9, and 11, as shown in Table 103 on page 276. Plug the DB 15 male connector labeled “P2” into the E1 link. E1 transmit and receive pairs must be turned over between the LEI and the CPE that is hardwired without carrier facilities. If the LEI is connected through E1 carrier facilities, the transmit and receive pairs must be wired straight through to the RJ48 at the Telco demarc, the LTU, or other E1 carrier equipment. The E1 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 278 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards CPE at the far-end will likewise have transmit and receive wired straight from the RJ48 demarc at the far-end of the carrier facility. For 75 ohm coaxial installations, E1 signaling for all 30 channels is transmitted over P2 connector pins 1, 3, 9, and 11 though an adapter and out two coaxial connectors Tx (transmit) and Rx (receive). Tx is the LEI output, and Rx is the LEI input from the E1 stream. E1 transmit and receive pairs must be turned over between the LEI and the CPE that is hardwired without carrier facilities. If the LEI is connected through E1 carrier facilities, the transmit and receive pairs must be wired straight through to the RJ48 at the Telco demarc, the LTU, or other E1 carrier equipment. The E1 CPE at the far end will likewise have Tx and Rx wired straight from the RJ48 demarc at the far end of the carrier facility. External Alarm Connections P3 connector pins 1, 2 and 3 can be plugged into any external alarm-sensing hardware. Plug the DB9 male connector labeled “P3” into an external alarm. These connections are optional, and the LEI functionality is not affected if they are not made. The MMI monitors the E1 link for specified performance criteria and reports on problems detected. One of the ways it can report information is through this external alarm connection. If connected, the LEI’s microprocessor will activate the external alarm hardware if it detects certain E1 link problems it has classified as alarm levels 1 or 2. See “Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software” on page 284 for a detailed description of alarm levels and configuration. If an alarm level 1 or 2 is detected by the MMI, the LEI will close the contact that is normally open, and will open the contact that is normally closed. The MMI command “Clear Alarm” will return the alarm contacts to their normal state. MMI Connections P5 connector pins 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are used to connect the LEI to the MMI terminal, connecting LEIs in a daisy chain for access to a shared MMI terminal. When logging into a LEI, “control 2” is asserted by that card, which informs all of the other cards not to talk on the bus, but rather to pass the data straight through. The pins labeled “control 1” are reserved for future use. As with the external alarm connections, MMI connections are optional. Up to 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 279 of 906 128 LEIs can be linked, located in up to 16 separate IPE shelves, to one MMI terminal using the daisy chain approach. If only one LEI is will be installed, cable from the DB9 male connector labeled “P5” (toward MMI terminal) to one of the COM ports on the back of any TTY, a PC running a terminal emulation program, or a modem. For installations of only one card, no connection is made to the DB9 female connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal). If two or more LEIs are being installed into the system, the MMI port connections can be daisy-chained together so that only one MMI terminal is required for up to 128 LEIs. See Figure 45 on page 280. Cards can be located in up to 15 separate IPE shelves. Start with any card slot in the IPE shelf and connect to any other card slot. Connected card slots do not need to be consecutive. Procedure 13 Connecting two or more LEIs to the MMI terminal Follow this procedure for connecting two or more LEIs to the MMI terminal: 1 Cable the DB9 male connector labeled “P5” (toward MMI terminal) to one of the COM ports on the back of any TTY, a PC running a terminal emulation program, or a modem. 2 Make the connection from the first card to the second card by plugging the DB9 female connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal) from the first card into the DB9 male connector of the second card labeled “P5” (toward MMI terminal). 3 Repeat step 2 for the remaining cards. 4 At the last card of the daisy chain, make no connection from the DB9 female connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal). 5 If two LEIs are too far apart to connect the “P4” and “P5” connectors connect them with an off-the-shelf DB9 female to DB9 male straight-through extension cable, available at any PC supply store. End of Procedure Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 280 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Figure 45 LEI card – connecting two or more cards to the MMI Terminal configuration For the MMI terminal to be able to communicate to the LEI, the interface characteristics must be set to: 553-3001-211 • speed – 1200 or 2400 bps • character width – 7 bits • parity bit – mark Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards • stop bits – one • software handshake (XON/XOFF) – off Page 281 of 906 Software Configuration Although much of the architecture and many features of the LEI card are different from the analog line card, the LEI has been designed to emulate an analog line card to the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software. Because of this, the LEI software configuration is the same as for two adjacent analog line cards. All 30 E1 channels carried by the LEI are individually configured using the analog (500/2500-type) Telephone Administration program LD 10. Use Table 104 to determine the correct unit number and Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 10 service-change instructions. LEI circuitry routes 16 units (0 – 15) on the motherboard and 14 (0 – 13) units on the daughterboard to 30 E1 channels. The motherboard circuit card is located in the left card slot, and the daughterboard circuit card is located in right card slot. For example, if installing the LEI into card slots 0 and 1, the motherboard would reside in card slot 0 and the daughterboard would reside in card slot 1. In order to configure the terminal equipment through the switch software, the E1 channel number will need to be cross-referenced to the corresponding card unit number. This mapping is shown in Table 104.

The Supervised Analog Line feature (SAL) must be configured in LD 10 for each LEI port. At the prompt FTR respond: OSP Against FTR respond: ISP The LEI treats OSP and ISP for both originating and terminating calls as hook flash disconnect supervision, also known as cut-off disconnect. Originating calls are outgoing from the terminal equipment. Terminating calls are incoming to the terminal equipment. The LEI does not support battery reversal answer and disconnect supervision on originating calls. After the software is configured, power-up the card and verify the self-test results. The STATUS LED on the faceplate indicates whether or not the LEI has successfully passed its self test, and is, therefore, functional. When the card is installed, this LED remains lit for two to five seconds as the self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is configured and enabled in software, the LED goes out. The LED will go out if either the motherboard or daughterboard is enabled by the software. If the LED continually flashes or remains weakly lit, replace the card. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 284 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Man-Machine E1 maintenance interface software Description The Man-Machine Interface (MMI) provides E1-link diagnostics and historical information for the LEI system. See “Installation and Configuration” on page 263 for instructions on how to install the cabling and configure the terminal for the MMI. The following sections will describe the options available through the LEI’s MMI terminal and will explain how to set-up, configure, and use the MMI. The MMI provides the following maintenance features: • configurable alarm parameters • E1-link problem indicator • current and historical E1-link performance reports • E1 verification and fault isolation testing • configuration of A\B bits (North American Standard, Australian P2, or customized settings are available) Alarms The MMI may be used to activate alarms for the following E1-link conditions: • excessive bit-error rate, • frame-slip errors, • out-of-frame, • loss-of-signal, and • blue alarm. Pre-set thresholds and error durations trip LEI alarm notifications. For descriptions of each of these E1-link alarm conditions, see “Performance counters and reporting” on page 304. For instructions on how to set alarm parameters, see “Set Alarm” on page 290. For information on accessing alarm reporting, see “Display Alarms” on page 302, “Display Status” on page 303 and “Display Performance” on page 305. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 285 of 906 Two levels of alarm severity exist for bit errors. Different threshold and duration settings must be established for each level. When the first level of severity is reached (alarm level 1), the MMI causes the following: • the external alarm hardware activates • he RED ALARM LED on the faceplate will be lit • an alarm message will be displayed on the MMI terminal • an entry will be created in the alarm log and printed to the MMI port When the second level of severity is reached (alarm level 2), the MMI will perform all functions at alarm level 1. In addition, the LEI enters line-conditioning mode. In this mode, the LEI sends either “on-hook” or “off-hook” signals for all 30 ports to the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1, depending on how the dip switch for line processing is set (dip switch 2, position 6). See Table 99 on page 270. If the MMI detects E1-link failures for any of the other conditions monitored (out-of-frame, excess frame slips, loss-of-signal, and blue alarm condition), the LEI automatically performs all alarm level 2 functions. The MMI also sends a yellow alarm to the far-end LTU. Alarms may be configured to self-clear when the alarm condition is no longer detected. See “Set Clearing” on page 294. All alarms activated produce a record in the alarm log. The alarm log maintains records for the most recent 100 alarms, and can be displayed, printed, and cleared. The alarm log displays or prints the alarms in descending chronological order, beginning with the most recent alarm. Notifications in the alarm log include the date and time of the alarm’s occurrence. E1 Performance Counters and Reports The MMI maintains performance error counters for the following E1 conditions: • errored seconds • bursty seconds • unavailable seconds Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 286 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards • framer-slip seconds • loss-of-frame seconds The MMI retains E1 performance statistics for the current hour, and for each hour for the previous 24. For descriptions of these performance error counters and instructions on how to create a report on them and clear them, see “Performance counters and reporting” on page 304. E1 Verification and Fault Isolation Testing The MMI enables various tests to be performed that either verify that the E1 is working adequately, or help to isolate a problem to the LEI, the E1 link, or the CPE. For descriptions of all of these tests and instructions on how to run them, see “Testing” on page 307. Login and Password The MMI can be accessed through any TTY, PC running a terminal emulation program, or modem. After installing the MMI terminal and card cables, the MMI can be configured. For single-card installations, it is accessed by entering L to login. For multiple-card installations connected in a daisy chain, it is accessed by entering L
, where the four-digit address is a combination of the two-digit address of the IPE shelf as set by dip switch positions on the card Switch 1, positions 3-6, plus the address of the card slot the motherboard occupies. See Table 101 on page 272. For example, to login to a card located in shelf 13, card slot 4, type: L 13 4 Spaces are inserted between the login command (L), the shelf address, and the card slot address. The MMI prompts for a password. The password is “LEILINK,” and it must be typed in all capital letters. After logging in, the prompt looks like this: LEI::> (for single-card installations) 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 287 of 906 LEI::ss cc> (for multi-card installations, where ss represents the shelf address and cc represents the card slot address.) Basic commands MMI commands can now be executed. The seven basic commands are: • Help • Alarm • Clear • Display • Set • Test • Quit Type ? to list these commands, along with an explanation of their usage. A screen similar to Figure 46 will appear.

Displays the Help screen. L Login. Logs into the MMI terminal in a single-LEI system. Lxx Login. Logs into the MMI terminal in a daisy-chained system, where xx represents the address of the card to be configured. Q Quit. Logs out of the MMI terminal. Note: If it is a daisy-chained system, be certain to log out when finished with configuration. In a daisy-chained system, only one card may occupy the bus at a given time and all other LEIs will be unable to notify the MMI of alarms unless logged-out of configuration mode. SA Set Alarm. Sets alarm parameters, such as the allowable bit-errors per second, threshold, and alarm duration. SC Set Clearing. Sets the alarm self-clearing function, ”enable” or ”disable.” SD Set Date. Sets the date or verifies the current date. SM Set Mode. Sets the A/B Bits mode. SS Set Simple. Sets whether or not the LEI waits for the terminal equipment to return an idle-state message before returning the channel to idle at call disconnect from the far-end. ST Set Time. Sets the time or verifies current time. T Test. Initiates the E1 carrier test function. To terminate a test in-process, enter the STOP TEST command at any time. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 290 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Configuring parameters The MMI has been designed with default settings so that no configuration is necessary. However, it can be configured based on the call environment. Set Time Before beginning to configure the MMI, login to the system and verify the current time. Do this by entering the Set Time (S T) command. The MMI displays the time it has registered. Enter a new time or hit Enter to leave it unchanged. The time is entered in the “hh:mm:ss,” the 24-hour, or military, format. Set Date Verify the current date. Do this by entering the Set Date (S D) command. The MMI then displays the date it has registered. Enter a new date or hit Enter to leave it unchanged. The date is entered in the “mm/dd/yy” format. Set Alarm The Set Alarm (S A) command sets the parameters by which an alarm is activated and the duration of the alarm after it is activated. There are three alarm levels as described below: • Alarm Level 0 (AL0) consists of activity with an error threshold below the AL1 setting, which is a satisfactory condition and no alarm is activated. • Alarm Level 1 (AL1) consists of activity with an error threshold above the AL1 setting, but below the AL2 setting that is deemed to be of minor importance. In this situation, the external alarm hardware is activated by closing the normally open contact, the RED ALARM LED on the faceplate lights, and an alarm message is created in the alarm log and the MMI terminal. • Alarm Level 2 (AL2) consists of activity with an error threshold above the AL2 setting which is deemed to be of major importance. In this situation, the following happens: — the external alarm hardware is activated by closing the normally open contact — the RED ALARM LED on the faceplate lights 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 291 of 906 — an alarm message is created in the alarm log and the MMI terminal — the LEI card enters line-conditioning mode — a yellow alarm message is sent to the CPE/LTU Line processing sends the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 either all “on-hook” or all “off-hook” signals, depending on the dip switch setting of the card. See Table 99 on page 270. When the Set Alarm command is selected, the prompt appears for setting the threshold level and duration for alarm levels 1 and 2. The E1 link processes at a rate of approximately 2.0 mb/s. The threshold value indicates the ratio of the total number of bits that must be detected as being in error per second before the LEI activates an alarm. It can be set between 3 and 9 and can be different for each alarm level. Any other value entered will cause the MMI to display a “Parameter Invalid” message. The digit entered as the threshold value is a number representing a negative power of 10 as shown in Table 106. Note: The error-rate threshold for a level 2 alarm must be greater (a smaller power of 10) than for a level 1 alarm. Remember that the numbers being represented are negative numbers. Since 3 represents –3, and 4 represents –4, 4 represents a smaller number than 3 does. Table 106 E1 bit error rate threshold settings (Part 1 of 2) Alarm threshold bit errors per second in power of 10 Threshold to set alarm Allowable Duration Periods 10-3 2,000/ second 1-21 seconds 10-4 200/second 1-218 seconds 10-5 20/second 1-2148 seconds 10-6 2.0/second 1-3600 seconds 10-7 2.0/10 seconds 10-3600 seconds Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 292 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Table 106 E1 bit error rate threshold settings (Part 2 of 2) Alarm threshold bit errors per second in power of 10 Threshold to set alarm Allowable Duration Periods 10-8 2.0/100 seconds 100-3600 seconds 10-9 2.0/1000 seconds 1000-3600 seconds The duration value is set in seconds and can be set from 1 to 3,600 seconds (1 hour). This duration value indicates how long the alarm condition must last before an alarm will be declared. Low bit-error rates (107 through 109) are restricted to longer durations since it takes more than one second to detect an alarm condition above106. Higher bit-error rates are restricted to shorter durations because the MMI error counter fills at 65,000 errors. The alarm indications (LEDs and external alarm contacts) will clear automatically after the specified period, or duration, has expired if the Set Clearing (S C) “Enable Self Clearing” option has been set. Otherwise, the alarm will continue until the command Clear Alarm (C A) has been entered. When an alarm is cleared, all activity caused by the alarm indications is cleared: • the external alarm hardware is deactivated (the contact normally open will be reopened) • the LED goes out • an entry is made in the alarm log of the date and time the alarm was cleared • carrier-fail line supervision ceases (for alarm level 2 only) If self-clearing alarm indications have been disabled, carrier-fail line supervision terminates when the alarm condition has ceased, but the external alarm contact and faceplate LED remain active until the alarm is cleared. A heavy bit-error rate can cause 200 bit errors to occur much more quickly than100 seconds. This causes the alarm to be declared sooner. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 293 of 906 An alarm condition is not automatically cleared until the system no longer detects the respective bit error threshold during the corresponding duration period. For example, if AL1 threshold of 6 (representing 10-6) is specified, and a duration period of 100 seconds is specified, an alarm is activated if more than 200 bit errors occur in any 100 second period. As soon as the alarm is activated, the bit counter is reset to 0. If the next 100 seconds pass, and less than 200 bit errors are detected, then the alarm clears after the alarm’s duration period. However, if more than 200 bit errors are detected in the next 100 seconds, the alarm condition continues for the designated time period. The alarm finally clears when the alarm condition is no longer detected for the designated period, either by self-clearing (if this function is enabled), or when the Clear Alarm (C A) command is entered. In addition to bit errors, the Set Alarm function sets parameters for detecting frame-slip errors by establishing a threshold necessary to activate an alarm. If the threshold value is exceeded, a level 2 alarm is activated. The frame slip threshold can be specified from 1 to 255 frame slips per time period. The duration time period can be specified from 1 to 24 hours. When entering the Set Alarm (S A) command, the MMI scrolls through the previously described series of alarm options. These options are displayed along with their current value, at which point a new value can be entered or enter to retain the current value. Table 107 outlines the options available in the Set Alarm (S A) function. Table 107 Set alarm options (Part 1 of 2) Option Description AL1 Threshold Sets the allowable bit errors per second before alarm level 1 is activated. Factory default is 6. AL1 Duration Sets the duration in seconds (from 1 to 3,600 seconds) that alarm level 1 is activated. Factory default is 10 seconds. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 294 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Table 107 Set alarm options (Part 2 of 2) Option Description AL2 Threshold Sets the allowable bit errors per second (from 3 to 9) before alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 10-5. AL2 Duration Sets the duration in seconds (from 1 to 3,600 seconds) that alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 10 seconds. Frame Slip Threshold Sets the allowable frame slips per time period (from 1 to 255) before alarm level 2 is activated. Factory default is 5. Frame Slip Duration Sets the duration in hours (from 1 to 24) that the frame slips are counted. After this time period, the counter is reset to 0. Factory default is 2 hours. Note: If the duration period set is too long, the LEI card is slow to return to service automatically even when the carrier is no longer experiencing errors. The CLEAR ALARM (C A) command has to be entered manually to restore service promptly. To avoid this, an alarm’s duration period is normally set to 10 seconds. Set Clearing The SET CLEARING (S C) command allows self-clearing of alarms by responding to the question: Enable Self Clearing? (YES or NO). If YES is chosen (the factory default setting), the system automatically clears (resets) alarms after the alarm condition is no longer detected. Choosing the NO option causes the system to continue the alarm condition until the Clear Alarm (C A) command is entered. Line processing and yellow alarm indication to the CPE terminates as soon as the alarm condition clears, even if self-clearing is disabled. Set Simple The SET SIMPLE command controls call tear-down signaling when the far-end disconnects from a call. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 295 of 906 When the far-end terminates a call, Release 1 of LEI’s AB vintage sends a disconnect message to the terminal equipment and waits for the terminal equipment to go idle before going idle itself. A NO response to the S S command configures Release 2 (and later) boards to operate in this way. See Figure 47. Release 2 of AB vintage LEIs gives the administrator the option of using the signaling described above, or configuring the LEI to take its channel idle immediately after sending the call-disconnect message. A YES response to the S S command, the default configuration for Release 2 (and later) boards, configures the LEI to operate in this way. See Figure 48.

LEI::> Set Mode At the SET MODE (S M) command, the MMI prompts the user with the current signaling mode, either Default (Australian P2) or Table (of bit values.) Entering a accepts the current value, or the user can type in 1 to revert to the Default, or 2 to edit the table entries. See Figure 49 on page 296. If the user selects default, then the A/B Bit values is reset to the Default values. Responding to the MMI’s Set Mode prompt with “1” also results in the line, “Signaling Bits set to Default,” as in Figure 49.

If “Table” is selected, the individual table values will is prompted for. See Figure 50 on page 297 and Figure 51 on page 298. After each value is displayed, enter to do the following: • accept the current value • enter just the AB bits (which will be copied to the CD bits) • enter a complete ABCD bit pattern • in the case of optional states, a ‘N’ or ‘n’ can be entered to indicate that the state is not needed Note that in D4 Framing for E1, there are no CD bits, so they will be ignored. The user is prompted for ABCD bit values for the following states when the table mode is selected. Send and Receive refer to the LEI sending ABCD bits to the CPE (Customer Provided Equipment) or receiving ABCD bits from the CPE. Incoming and Outgoing refer to E1 digital link from the CPE point of view. Incoming is thus an external call arriving over the digital link and accepted by the CPE. Outgoing is a call originated by the CPE over the digital link. Configuring the A/B Bit Signaling table is illustrated in Figure 50 and Figure 51 on page 298. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 297 of 906 Figure 50 Set Mode (S M): Table screen Outgoing call SEIZE RECEIVE: Current: 0001 New: 111 Error: Note enough values specified.

See Table 99 on page 270. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 299 of 906 Incoming call Ringer ON SEND – This is the value that the LEI sends to indicate that a call is incoming to the CPE and that ringing voltage should be applied at the CPE. This value is required. Incoming call Ringer OFF SEND – This is the value that the LEI sends to indicate that a call is incoming to the CPE and that the ring cycle is in the off portion of the cadence. This value is required. Incoming call Offhook RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see from the CPE when the customer equipment has gone to an off hook state which indicates that the incoming call has been answered. This value is required. Incoming call CONNECTED SEND – This is the value that the LEI sends to the CPE to indicate that it has seen and recognized the off hook indication sent by the CPE. The call is considered fully connected at this point. This value is required. Incoming call (Far-end) DISCONNECT SEND – This is the value that the LEI sends to indicate that the far-end has released the call. This value is required. Incoming call (CPE) DISCONNECT RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see from the CPE when the customer equipment wishes to end the call. This value is required. Outgoing call SEIZE RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see when the CPE goes to an off hook condition and wishes to initiate a call. This value is required. Outgoing call SEIZE ACK SEND – This is the value that the LEI will send to indicate that the seized condition has been noted and the M-1 is ready for dial digits. This value can be set to N if it is not required such as in a loop start case. Outgoing call DIAL MAKE RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see from the CPE during the make part of the digit. This value is required. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 300 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Outgoing call DIAL BREAK RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see from the CPE during the break part of the digit. This value is required. Outgoing call ANSWERED SEND – This is the value that the LEI will send to indicate that the far-end has answered the call. This value is required. Outgoing call (CPE) DISCONNECT RECEIVE – This is the value that the LEI expects to see from the CPE when the customer equipment wishes to end the call. This value is required. Outgoing call (Far-end) DISCONNECT SEND – This is the value that the LEI will send to indicate that the far-end has released the call This value is required. Disconnect Time – This is the number of milliseconds that the LEI will send the disconnect signal to the CPE before reverting to the idle state. If the CPE reverts to a connected state during this time, it is ignored. This value is only used when disconnect supervision is available and is needed for the signaling type in use. It is used when the far-end initiates the disconnect. For loop start cases, this value is not used. Intercall (release guard) Time – This is the number of milliseconds that the LEI maintains the idle signal to the CPE before initiating a new call. The CPE should not initiate a new call during this time. If it does so, the off-hook indication is ignored until the release guard time has expired. This value defaults to 0 which relies on the M-1 to observe the proper guard time. If a non-zero value is entered, off-hook from the CPE and Ringer-On commands from the M1/SL100 is ignored until this timer has expired. Display Configuration (D C) The Display Configuration (D C) command displays the various configuration settings established for the LEI. Entering this command causes a screen similar to Figure 52 to appear. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 301 of 906 Figure 52 Display Configuration (D C) screen LEI S/N 1103 Software Version 1.01 3/03/95 1:50 Alarms Enabled: YES Self Clearing Enabled: YES Alarm Level 1 threshold value: E-7 Threshold duration (in seconds): 10 Alarm Level 2 threshold value: E-5 Threshold duration (in seconds): 1 Frame slips alarm level threshold: 5 Threshold duration (in hours) 2 Current dip switch S1 settings (S1..S8) On Off Off On Off Off Off On Current dip switch S2 settings (S1..S8) On Off On Off Off Off On Off Alarm operation and reporting The MMI monitors the E1 link according to parameters established through the Set Alarm command for the following conditions: • Excessive bit error rate • Frame slip errors • Out of frame condition • Loss of signal condition • Blue alarm (AIS) condition Descriptions of the excessive bit error rate and frame slip errors conditions are found in “Configuring parameters” on page 290. Bit errors activate either a level 1 or level 2 alarm. The remaining conditions, when detected, always cause the system to activate a level 2 alarm. An out-of-frame condition will be declared if 3 consecutive frame bits are in error. If this condition occurs, the hardware immediately attempts to reframe. During the reframe time, the E1 link is declared out-of-frame, and silence is sent on all receive timeslots. A loss of signal condition is declared if a full frame (255 bits) of consecutive zeros has been detected at the receive inputs. If this condition occurs, the E1 link automatically attempts to resynchronize with the far-end. If this condition lasts for more than two seconds, a level 2 alarm is declared, and silence is sent on all receive timeslots. The alarm is cleared if, after two Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 302 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards seconds, neither a loss of signal, out-of-frame condition, or blue alarm condition occurs. If a repeating device loses signal, it immediately begins sending an unframed signal of all ones to the far-end to indicate an alarm condition. This condition is called a blue alarm, or an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). If an AIS is detected for more than two seconds, a level 2 alarm is declared, and silence is sent on all receive timeslots. The alarm is cleared if, after two seconds, neither a loss of signal, out-of-frame condition, or blue alarm condition occurs. Alarm Disable The Alarm Disable (A D) command disables the external alarm contacts. When this command is typed, the MMI displays the message Alarms Disabled and the MAINT LED lights. In this mode, no yellow alarms are sent and the LEI does not enter line processing mode. Alarm messages are sent on the MMI terminal and the LED continues to indicate alarm conditions. Alarm Enable The Alarm Enable (A E) command does the reverse of the Alarm Disable (A D) command. It enables the external alarm contacts. When this command is typed in, the MMI will display the message Alarms Enabled. In this mode, yellow alarms can be sent and the LEI can enter line processing mode. Clear Alarm The Clear Alarm (C A) command clears all activity initiated by an alarm: the external alarm hardware is deactivated (the contact normally open is reopened), the LED goes out, an entry is made in the alarm log of the date and time the alarm was cleared, and line processing ceases (for alarm level 2 only). When this command is typed, MMI displays the message Alarm acknowledged. If the alarm condition still exists, an alarm is declared again. Display Alarms A detailed report of the most recent 100 alarms with time and date stamps can be displayed by entering the Display Alarms (D A) command into the MMI, which will cause a screen similar to Figure 53 on page 303 to appear. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 303 of 906 Figure 53 Display Alarm (D A) screen Alarm Log 2/03/99 1:48 Yellow alarm on E1 carrier 2/03/99 2:33 E1 carrier level 1 alarm 2/03/99 3:47 E1 carrier level 2 alarm 2/03/99 4:43 E1 carrier performance within thresholds 2/03/99 15:01 Log Cleared The Pause command can be used to display a full screen at a time, by entering D A P.

It registers the performance of these criteria by reading their status every second and counting their results. These counts are accumulated for an hour, then reset to 0. Previous hour count results are maintained for each of the previous 24 hours. The LEI counts CRC-4 errors when CRC-4 is enabled and Bipolar Violations (BPV) when CRC-4 is disabled. The performance criteria for which these counts are maintained as follows: 553-3001-211 • Errored seconds are seconds in which one or more CRC-4 / BPV errors, or one or more out-of-frame errors in one second. • Bursty seconds are seconds in which more than one and less than 320 CRC-4 / BPV errors in a second. • Severely errored seconds are seconds in which more than 320 CRC-4 / BPV errors, or one or more out-of-frames in a second. • Unavailable seconds are seconds in which unavailable state starts with 10 consecutive severely errored seconds and ends with 10 consecutive non-severely errored seconds (excluding the final 10 non-severely errored seconds). Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 305 of 906 • Loss-of-frame seconds are seconds in which loss-of-frame or loss-of-signal conditions have existed for three consecutive seconds. • Frame slip seconds are seconds in which one or more frame slips occur. The MMI also maintains an overall error counter which is the sum of all errors counted for the performance criteria listed above. The error counter can only be cleared by entering the Clear Error (C E) command. It stops counting at 65,000. The error counter provides an easy method to determine if an alarm condition has been corrected. Clear the error counter, wait a few minutes, and display the performance to see if any errors have occurred since the counter was cleared. The MMI display reports on these performance counters through the Display Performance (D P) or the Display History (D H) commands. Display Performance Entering the Display Performance (D P) command displays performance counters for the past hour. A screen similar to Figure 55 will appear.

Just before the performance counters are reset to zero, the values are put into the history log. The error counter indicates the number of errors since the error counter was cleared. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 306 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards The Pause command can be used to display a full screen at a time, by entering D P P. If more than one screen is to be displayed, the MMI scrolls until the screen is full, then stops. When ready to see the next screen, press any key. The display shows one more screen, and stops again. This continues until the entire display has been shown. Display History Entering the Display History (D H) command displays performance counters for each hour of the past 24 in reverse chronological order, beginning with the last full hour. A screen similar to Figure 56 will appear. The Pause command works the same for Display History as it does for the other display commands. Simply enter D H P to see a report on the performance counters, one screen at a time.

Clear Error Reset the error counter to zero by entering the Clear Error (C E) command. The error counter provides a convenient way to determine if the E1 link is performing without errors since it can be cleared and examined at any time. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 307 of 906 Testing The Test Carrier (T) command allows tests to be run on the LEI, the E1 link, or the CPE device. The three tests are designed to provide the capability to isolate faulty conditions in any of these three sources. See Table 108 on page 308 for additional information on these three test types. Enter the T command, and at the prompt, enter which of these three tests is to be initiated. The prompt is similar to Figure 57. Figure 57 Test Carrier (T) screen Test 1: Local Loopback Test Test 2: External Loopback Test Test 3: Network Loopback Test (1,2,3 or S to cancel): Tests can be performed once, for one through 98 minutes, or continuously (selected by entering 99 minutes), until a Stop Test command is entered. Tests continue for the duration specified even if a failure occurs, and terminate at the end of the time period or when a Stop Test command is issued. Only Stop Test stops a test with a duration selection of 99; however, the STOP command terminates a test set to any duration from one to 99. After entering the test number, a prompt similar to Figure 58 appears. Figure 58 Test parameters screen Enter Duration of Test (1-98 Mins, 0 = Once, 99 = Forever) Test will interfere with traffic. Hit Q to quit or any Key to Continue Before a test is run, be sure to verify that the card is disabled, as the tests interfere with calls currently in process. During a test, if an invalid word is received, this is recorded by a failure peg counter. The peg counter has a limit of 65,000. At the end of the test, the Test Results message indicates how many failures, if any, occurred during the test.

Test data is generated and received by the LEI on all timeslots. If test 1 passes but test 2 fails, it indicates that the E1 link is defective between the LEI and the external loopback location. If test 1 was not run and test 2 fails, the E1 link or the LEI could be defective. To isolate the failure to the E1 link, tests 1 and 2 must be run in tandem. Figure 60 on page 309 demonstrates how an external loopback is applied to the E1 link. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 309 of 906 Figure 60 MMI External loopback test System Line side E-1 E-1 link interface card Common Equipment External E-1 link network Customer premise equipment (CPE) 553-1161 Test 3, network loopback, loops the LEI's received E1 data back toward the CPE.

Some examples of applications where an LEI can be interfaced to an E1 link are: • E1-compatible VRU equipment • E1-compatible turret systems • E1-compatible wireless systems • Remote analog (500/2500-type) telephones through E1 to channel bank • Remote Norstar sites behind CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 over E1 The LEI is appropriate for any application where both E1 connectivity and “lineside” functionality are required. This includes connections to E1-compatible voice response units, voice messaging and trading turret (used in stock market applications) systems. See Figure 62. Figure 62 LEI connection to IPE For example, the LEI can be used to connect the system to an E1-compatible Voice Response Unit (VRU). An example of this type of equipment is Nortel Open IVR system. In this way, the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 can 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 311 of 906 send a call to the VRU, and, because the LEI supports analog (500/2500-type) telephone functionality, the VRU is able to send the call back to the system for further handling. The LEI can also be used to provide off-premise extensions to remote locations, up to 500 miles from the system. In this application, analog telephone functionality is extended over E1 facilities, providing a telephone at a remote site with access to analog (500/2500-type) telephone line functionality. See Figure 63. Audible Message Waiting Indicator can be provided as well. Figure 63 LEI in off-premise extension application Similarly, use the LEI to provide a connection between the system and a remote Norstar system. See Figure 64 on page 312. In this case, channel banks are not required if the Norstar system is equipped with an E1 interface. Note: Consider LEI audio levels when determining the appropriateness of an application.

The CLASS Modem card receives Calling Number and Calling Name Delivery (CND) data and time/date data from the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1and transmits it to a line port, such as a port on an Analog Line card, which delivers the CND data to a CLASS telephone when presenting the telephone with a new call. For information about the CLASS: Calling Number and Name Delivery feature, please refer to the Features and Services (553-3001-306). For administration and maintenance commands, see the Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). Physical description CLASS Modem cards are housed in NT8D37 IPE modules. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 314 of 906 NT5D60/80 CLASS Modem card (XCMC) The CLASS modem card circuitry is mounted on a 31.75 cm by 25.40 cm (12.5 in. by 10 in.) double-sided printed circuit board. The card connects to the backplane through a 160-pin edge connector. The faceplate of the CLASS modem card is equipped with a red LED that lights when the card is disabled. When the card is installed, the LED remains lit for two to five seconds as a self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit until the card is configured and enabled in software, then the LED goes out. If the LED continually flashes or remains weakly lit, replace the card. Functional description The CLASS Modem card is designed to plug into any one of the peripheral card slots of the IPE module. The CLASS modem card supports up to 32 transmit-only modem resources, using a DS30X interface. Up to 255 modems can be configured per system. The CND transmission process begins with the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software sending an initiating message to the CLASS Modem card indicating the length of the CND information and the type of the CND information flow to be transmitted. In response, the CLASS Modem card assigns a message buffer to capture the CND information from the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software. System software then sends the CND information to the CLASS Modem card, one byte at a time, where it is stored in the message buffer. If the CLASS Modem card receives more bytes than were specified in the initiating message, then the additional bytes will be discarded and will not be included in the CND memory buffer. Once all of the CND information has been stored in the memory buffer, the CLASS Modem card begins transmission when requested by the system software. Data is sent one ASCII character at a time. The CLASS Modem card inserts a start and stop bit to each ASCII character sent. The transmission of the calling party name/number to the terminating telephone is accomplished through asynchronous FSK simplex-mode transmission at 1200 bits/second over a 2-wire loop, in accordance with the 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D60/80 CLASS Modem card (XCMC) Page 315 of 906 Bell 202 standard. The transmission is implemented by the appropriate PCM equivalent of 1200 or 2200 Hz. Upon completion of transmitting the CND data, the CLASS Modem card sends a message to the system software to indicate successful transmission of the CND data. Eight modems can be associated with each module. Table 109 shows time slot mapping for the CLASS modem card.

See the Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 10 and LD 13 service change instructions. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 366 Page 319 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Contents The following are the topics in this section: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 319 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 320 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 340 Architecture. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 353 Operation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 359 Introduction This section contains information required to install the NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 (DDP2) card. The NT5D97 is a dual-port 2.0 Mb DTI2/PRI2 card (the DDP2 firmware functions in DTI2 or PRI2 mode, depending on DIP switch settings) that integrates the functionality of two NT8D72BA PRI2 cards, and one QPC414 ENET card into a single CE card. The NT5D97 occupies a single slot in the Network shelf and provides two DTI2/PRI2 network connections: an interface to an external D-Channel Handler (the NT6D11AF) or the NT6D80 Multi-purpose Serial Data Link card, and an optional plug-on NTBK51AA Downloadable D-Channel daughterboard (DDCH) with two DCH interface ports. The NT5D97 DDP2 card can be mixed in the same machine with PRI2 NT8D72BA cards. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 320 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card The NT5D97 DDP2 card hardware design uses a B57 ASIC E1/T1 framer. The carrier specifications comply with the ANSI TI.403 specification. The NT5D97 provides an interface to the 2.048 Mbps external digital line either directly or through an office repeater, Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Line Terminating Unit (LTU). DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK The NT5D97 DDP2 card is not designed to be connected directly to the Public Switched Network, or other exposed plant networks. Such a connection should only be done using an isolating-type networking terminating device that provides voltage surge protection, such as a Line Terminating Unit (LTU), Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Network Termination 1 (NT1), as certified by your local, regional, or national safety agency and telecommunication authority. Physical description External D-Channel Interface DCH or MSDL The connection between the DDP2 card and the external DCH or MSDL is through a 26-pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the electrical characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422. Two control signals are used to communicate the D-channel link status to the DCH or MSDL. These are: 553-3001-211 • Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP2 card, to indicate to the DCH or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational. • Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCH or MSDL, to indicate to the DDP2 card that the DCH are ready to use the D-channel link. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 321 of 906 Table 112 indicates how the RR control signal operates with regard to the DDP2 status. Table 112 DCH/MSDL Receiver Ready control signals RR State ON Condition D-Channel data rate selected at 64 Kbps and PRI2 loop is enabled and PRI2 link is not in OOS or Local Alarm mode state and PRI2 link is not transmitting a Remote Alarm pattern and PRI2 link is not receiving a Remote Alarm Indication from a remote facility OFF All other conditions NT5D97 faceplate Figure 65 on page 322 illustrates the faceplate layout for the NT5D97 DDP card. The faceplate contains an enable/disable switch; a DDCH status LED; 6 x 2 trunk port status LEDs; and six external connectors. Table 113 on page 323 shows the name of each connector, its designation with respect to the faceplate and the name and description of the card it is connected to. Also shown are the names of the LEDs.

Enable/Disable Switch This switch is used to disable the card prior to insertion or removal from the network shelf. While this switch is in disable position, the card will not respond to the system CPU. ENET LEDs Two red LEDs indicate if the “ENET0” and “ENET1” portions of the card are disabled. These LEDs are lit in the following cases: • When the enable/disable switch is in disabled state (lit by hardware). • After power-up, before the card is enabled. • When the ENET port on the card is disabled by software. Trunk Disable (DIS) LEDs Two red LEDs indicate if the “trunk port 0” or “trunk port 1” portions of the card are disabled. These LEDs are lit in the following cases: • Upon reception of the “disable loop” message from the software. • After power-up. OOS LEDs Two yellow LEDs indicate if the “trunk port 0” and “trunk port 1” portions of the card are out of service. NEA LEDs Two yellow LEDs indicate if the near end detects absence of incoming signal or loss of synchronization in “trunk port 0” or “trunk port 1” respectively. The near-end alarm causes a far-end alarm signal to be transmitted to the far end. FEA LEDs Two yellow LEDs indicate if a far-end alarm has been reported by the far end (usually in response to a near-end alarm condition at the far end) on “trunk port 0” or “trunk port 1”. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 325 of 906 LBK LEDs Two yellow LEDs indicate if a remote loopback test is being performed on trunk port 0 or trunk port 1. The loopback indication is active when the digital trunk is in remote loopback mode. Normal call processing is inhibited during the remote loopback test. DCH LED When the dual colored LED is red, it indicates the on-board DDCH is present but disabled. When the dual colored LED is green, it indicates the on-board DDCH is present and enabled. If a DDCH is not configured on the DDP2 card, this lamp is not lit. Unit 0 Clk Connectors Two RJ11 connectors for connecting: • Digital trunk unit 0 recovered clock to primary or secondary reference source on clock controller card 0. • Digital trunk unit 0 recovered clock to primary or secondary reference source on clock controller card 1. Unit 1 Clk Connectors Two RJ11 connectors for connecting: • Digital trunk unit 1 recovered clock to primary or secondary reference source on clock controller card 0. • Digital trunk unit 1 recovered clock to primary or secondary reference source on clock controller card 1. Connector J5 (TRK) A 9 pin D-Type connector used to connect: • Digital trunk unit 0 receive and transmit Tip / Ring pairs. • Digital trunk unit 1 receive and transmit Tip / Ring pairs. Connector J6 (DCH) A 26 pin D-type connector is used to connect the DDP2 card to the external MSDL or D-channel handler. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 326 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Port definitions Since the NT5D97 card is dual-card, it equips two ports; these ports can be defined in the following combinations: Table 114 NT5D97AA/AB loops configuration Loop 1 Loop 0 not configured DTI2 PRI2 not configured V V V DTI2 V V V PRI2 V V V Table 115 NT5D97AD loops configuration Loop 1 Loop 0 not configured DTI2 PRI2 DDCS not configured V V V V DTI2 V V V V PRI2 V V V X DDCS V V X V Note: Each loop DPNSS can be defined in Normal or Extended addressing mode. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 327 of 906 System capacity and performance Physical capacity Each NT5D97 DDP2 card occupies one slot on the network shelf. Each card supports two digital trunk circuits and two network loops. The total number of DDP2 cards per system is limited by the number of network loops, physical capacity of the shelf, number of DTI2/PRI2 interfaces allowed by the software and the range of DCH addresses. D-Channel capacity The software configuration for the NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to the MSDL and only supports D-channel functionality. The system has a total capacity of 16 addresses (Device Addresses or DNUM) that can be reserved for DCH card, MSDL card or DDCH card. One exception is DNUM 0 which is commonly assigned to the TTY terminal. No two different D-Channel providers can share the same DNUM. Hence, the combined maximum number of DCH, MSDL and DDCH cards in the system is 16. The DCH has one D-Channel unit, the DDCH has two D-Channel units, and the MSDL has a maximum of four units. Therefore, the total number of D-Channel is derived by the following formula: Total_Num_DCH-Units = Num_DCHx1 + Num_DDCHx2 + Num_MSDLx4 Therefore, Total_Num_DCH-Units in any given system is between 0-63. CPU capacity Using a NT5D97 DDP2 card instead of DTI2/PRI2 cards does not increase the load on the CPU. The DDP2 replaces an ENET card and two DTI2/PRI2 cards. Emulating the ENET card and the overall CPU capacity is not impacted by using a DDP2 card instead of a DTI2/PRI2 card.

Tracking mode In tracking mode, the DDP2 loop supplies an external clock reference to a clock controller. Two DDP2 loops can operate in tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference. As shown in Figure 77, a system with dual CPUs can have two clock controllers (CC-0 and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock. Free run (non-tracking) mode The clock synchronization of the can operate in free-run mode if: • no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference, • the primary and secondary references are disabled, or • the primary and secondary references are in local (near end) alarm Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 354 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Figure 77 Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking Clock Controller 0 J1 Primary clocking source REF 1 Primary Primary Reference J2 J3 Primary REF 2 Secondary clocking source REF 1 Secondary Secondary Reference REF 2 Clock Controller Backup Clock Controller 1 Secondary J1 J2 J3 553-7401 Reference clock errors CS 1000 Release 4.5 software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check can be configured in LD 73). In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock controller error is detected, the 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 355 of 906 system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which reference clock is being tracked. A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched. Automatic clock recovery A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with the command EREF. A DDP2 loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions: • If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on primary. • If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary. • If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode: — Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined. — If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored to the secondary reference clock if defined. Note: If the system is put into free-run mode by the craftsperson, it resumes tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option is disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock is “undefined” in the database. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 356 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Automatic clock switching If the EREF command is selected in LD 60, tracking on the primary or secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner: • If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC maintenance messages. • If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock, it switches to free run. Clock configurations Clock Controllers can be used in a single or a dual CPU system. A single CPU system has one Clock Controller card. This card can receive reference clocks from two sources referred to as the primary and secondary sources. These two sources can originate from a PRI2, DTI2, etc. PRI2 cards such as the NT8D72BA are capable of supplying two references of the same clock source. These are known as Ref1 (available at J1) and Ref2 (available at J2) on the NT8D72BA. The NT5D97 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock source, for example, four references in total. NT5D97 can supply Clk0 and Clk1 from Unit 0 and Clk0 and Clk1 from Unit 1. Either Unit 0 or Unit 1 can originate primary source, as shown in Figure 78 through Figure 81. There is one Clock Controller cable required for the DDP2 card, which is available in four sizes; this is the NTCG03AA/AB/AC/AD.

Both references from both ports 553-7402 Case 1 - The two ports of a QPC414 network card are connected to two digital trunks. In this case, the QPC414 and the two digital trunks are replaced by a single DDP2 card, which is plugged into the network shelf in the QPC414 slot. Case 2 - One port of the QPC414 card is connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. Both cards are in network loop location. In this case, the QPC414 should not be removed. The digital trunk is removed and the DDP2 card is plugged into one of the two empty slots. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 363 of 906 Case 3 - The network shelf is full, one port of a QPC414 network card is connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. This arrangement is repeated for another QPC414. The digital trunks are located in a shelf that provides only power. In this case, the peripheral buffers will have to be re-assigned, so that each pair of buffers will use both ports of the same QPC414 card. The other QPC414 card can then be replaced by the NT5D97 DDP2. CAUTION The static discharge bracelet located inside the cabinet must be worn before handling circuit cards. Failure to wear the bracelet can result in damage to the circuit cards. Procedure 14 Installing the NT5D97 1 Determine the cabinet and shelf location where the NT5D97 is to be installed. The NT5D97 can be installed in any card slot in the Network bus. 2 Unpack and inspect the NT5D97and cables. 3 If a DDCH is installed, refer to the section “Removing the NT5D97” on page 364. 4 Set the option switches on the NT5D97 card before installation. Refer to “NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings” on page 340. The ENB/DIS (enable/disable faceplate switch) must be OFF (DIS) when installing the NT5D97, otherwise a system initialize can occur. The ENB/ DIS on the NT5D97 corresponds to the faceplate switch on the QPC414 Network card. 5 Install NT5D97 card in the assigned shelf and slot. 6 Set the ENB/DIS faceplate switch to ON. If the DDCH is installed, the DDCH LED should flash three times. 7 If required, install the I/O adapters in the I/O panel. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 364 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card 8 Run and connect the NT5D97 cables. CAUTION Clock Controller cables connecting the Clock Controller and NT5D97 card must NOT be routed through the center of the cabinet past the power harness. Instead they should be routed around the outside of the equipment shelves. 9 If required, install connecting blocks at the MDF or wall mounted cross-connect terminal. 10 If required, designate connecting blocks at the MDF or wall mounted cross-connect terminal. 11 If required, install a Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE). or Line Terminating Unit (LTU). 12 Add related office data into switch memory. 13 Enable faceplate switch S1. This is the “Loop Enable” switch. The faceplate LEDs should go on for 4 seconds then go off and the OOS, DIS and ACT LEDs should go on again and stay on. IF DDCH is installed, the DCH LED should flash 3 times. 14 Run the PRI/DTI Verification Test. 15 Run the PRI status check. End of Procedure Procedure 15 Removing the NT5D97 1 Determine the cabinet and shelf location of the NT5D97 card to be removed. 2 Disable Network Loop using LD 60. The command is DISL “loop number.” The associated DCHI might have to be disabled first. The faceplate switch ENB/DIS should not be disabled until both PRI2/DTI2 loops are disabled first. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 365 of 906 3 If the NT5D97 card is being completely removed, not replaced, remove data from memory. 4 Remove cross connections at MDF to wall-mounted cross-connect terminal. 5 Tag and disconnect cables from card. 6 Rearrange Clock Controller cables if required. CAUTION Clock Controller cables connecting the Clock Controller and DDP2 card must NOT be routed through the center of the cabinet past the power harness. Instead, they should be routed around the outside of the equipment shelves. 7 Remove the DDP2 card only if both loops are disabled. If the other circuit of a DDP2 card is in use, DO NOT remove the card. The faceplate switch ENB/DIS must be in the OFF (DIS) position before the card is removed, otherwise the system will initialize. 8 Pack and store the NT5D97 card and circuit card. End of Procedure Configuring the NT5D97 After the NT5D97 DDP2 is installed, configure the system using the same procedures as the standard NT8D72BA PRI2. Consider the following when configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 card: • The CS 1000 Release 4.5 software allows four ports to be defined for the NT6D80 MSDL. The DDCH (NTBK51AA) card has only two ports, 0 and 1; therefore, ports 2 and 3 must not be defined when using the NTBK51AA. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 366 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card • Port 0 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 0 of the NT5D97 DDP2 card, and Port 1 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 1 of the NT5D97. This relationship must be reflected when configuring a new DCH in LD 17 (in response to the DCHL prompt, enter either 0 or 1 when specifying the loop number used by the DCH). • You cannot define one of the DDP2 loops for the NTBK51AA DDCH, and the other loop for the NT6D11AF/NT5K75AA/NT5K35AA DCH card or the NT6D80 MSDL. • When configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 in DTI2 outgoing dial pulse mode, a Digit Outpulsing patch is required. Testability and diagnostics The DDP2 card supports testing and maintenance functions through the following procedures: • Selftest upon power up or reset • Signalling test performed in the LD 30 • Loopback tests, self tests, and continuity tests performed by LD 60 and LD 45 • The D-Channel (DCH, MSDL, DDCH) maintenance is supported by LD 96. Note: The MSDL selftest is not applicable to the NTBK51AA D-Channel daughterboard. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 368 Page 367 of 906 NT5K02 Flexible Analog Line card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 367 Applications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 368 Introduction The NT5K02 Flexible Analog Line card provides an interface for up to 16 analog (500/2500-type) telephones equipped with either ground button recall switches, high-voltage Message Waiting lamps, or low-voltage Message Waiting LEDs.

Connections may be between a PBX and a Central Office or between two PBXs. When connection has been established, the XMFC/MFE card sends and receives pairs of frequencies and then drops out of the call. The XMFC/MFE card can operate in systems using either A-law or µ-law companding by changing the setting in software. You can install this card in any IPE slot. MFC signaling The MFC feature allows the system to use the CCITT MFC R2 or L1 signaling protocols. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 370 of 906 NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card Signaling levels MFC signaling uses pairs of frequencies to represent digits, and is divided into two levels: • Level 1: used when a call is first established and may be used to send the dialed digits. • Level 2: used after Level 1 signaling is completed and may contain such information as the status, capabilities, or classifications of both calling parties. Forward and backward signals When one NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card sends a pair of frequencies to a receiving XMFC/MFE card (forward signaling), the receiving XMFC/MFE card must respond by sending a different set of frequencies back to the originating XMFC/MFE card (backward signaling). In other words, the receiving card is always “compelled” to respond to the originating card. In summary, the signaling works as follows: 553-3001-211 • The first XMFC/MFE card sends a forward signal to the second card. • The second card hears the forward signal and replies with a backward signal. • The first card hears the backward signal and “turns off” its forward signal. • The second card hears the forward signal being removed and removes its backward signal. • The first XMFC/MFE can either send a second signal or drop out of the call. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card Page 371 of 906 MFC signaling involves two or more levels of forward signals and two or more levels of backward signals. Separate sets of frequencies are used for forward and backward signals: • Forward signals. Level I forward signals are dialed address digits that identify the called party. Subsequent levels of forward signals describe the category (Class of Service) of the calling party, and may include the calling party status and identity. • Backward signals. Level I backward signals (designated “A”) respond to Level I forward signals. Subsequent levels of backward signals (B, C, and so on) describe the status of the called party. Table 141 lists the frequency values used for forward and backward signals.

This programming can be done by the customer and allows users to suit the needs of each MFC-equipped trunk route. Each MFC-equipped trunk route is associated with a data block that contains the MFC signal functions supported for that route. MFE signaling The NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card can be programmed for MFE signaling which is used mainly in France. MFE is much the same as MFC except it has its own set of forward and backward signals. Table 142 lists the forward and backward frequencies for MFE. The one backward signal for MFE is referred to as the “control” frequency.

The XMFC/MFE circuit card transmits and receives forward and backward signals simultaneously on two channels. Each channel is programmed like a peripheral circuit card unit, with its own sending and receiving timeslots in the network. Receive mode When in receive mode, the XMFC/MFE card is linked to the trunk card by a PCM speech path over the network cards. MFC signals coming in over the trunks are relayed to the XMFC/MFE card as though they were speech. The XMFC/MFC card interprets each tone pair and sends the information to the CPU through the CPU bus. Send mode When in send mode, the CPU sends data to the XMFC/MFE card through the CPU bus. The CPU tells the XMFC/MFE card which tone pairs to send and the XMFC/MFE card generates the required tones and sends them to the trunk over the PCM network speech path. The trunk transmits the tones to the far end.

A description of the ISDN BRI feature is contained in ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-218). You can install this card in any IPE slot. Note: A maximum of four NT6D70 SILC cards are supported in an MG 1000S. A maximum of four NT6D70 SILC cards are supported in an MG 1000S Expansion. ISDN BRI ISDN BRI consists of two 64Kb/s Bearer (B) channels and one 16Kb/s Data (D) channel. The BRI interface is referred to as a 2B+D connection as well as a Digital Subscriber Loop (DSL). Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 380 of 906 NT6D70 SILC Line card B-channels transmit user voice and data information at high speeds, while D-channels are packet-switched links that carry call set-up, signaling and other user data across the network. One single DSL can carry two simultaneous voice or data conversations to the same or to different locations. In either case, the D-channel can also be used for packet communication to a third location simultaneously. The two B-channels can also be combined to transmit data at uncompressed speeds of up to 128 Kbps. A wide range of devices and telephone numbers can be associated with a single DSL to offer equipment flexibility and reduce line, wiring, and installation costs. Physical description The NT6D70 SILC card is a standard-size circuit card. Its faceplate is equipped with an LED to indicate its status. Power consumption Power consumption is +5 V at 800 mA and –48 V at 480 mA. Foreign and surge voltage protections In-circuit protection against power line crosses or lightning is not provided on the SILC card. When the SILC card is used in TIE trunk applications in which the cabling is exposed to outside plant conditions, an NT1 module certified for such applications must be used. Check local regulations before providing such service. Functional description The NT6D70 SILC card provides eight S/T four-wire full-duplex polarity-sensitive interfaces to connect ISDN BRI-compatible terminals over Digital Subscriber Loops (DSL) to the system. Each S/T interface provides two B-channels and one D-channel and supports a maximum of eight physical connections that can link up to 20 logical terminals on one DSL. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D70 SILC Line card Page 381 of 906 A logical terminal is any terminal that can communicate with the system over a DSL. It can be directly connected to the DSL through its own physical termination or be indirectly connected through a common physical termination. The length of a DSL depends on the specific terminal configuration and the DSL wire gauge; however, it should not exceed 1 km (3,280 ft). The SILC interface uses a four-conductor cable that provides a differential Transmit and Receive pair for each DSL. The SILC has options to provide a total of two watts of power on the Transmit or Receive leads, or no power at all. When this power is supplied from the S/T interface, the terminal devices must not draw more than the two watts of power. Any power requirements beyond this limit must be locally powered. Other functions of the SILC are: • support point-to-point and multi-point DSL terminal connections • execute instructions received from the MISP to configure and control the S/T interfaces • provide channel mapping between ISDN BRI format (2B+D) and system bus format • multiplex 4 D-channels onto one timeslot • perform activation and deactivation of DSLs • provide loopback control of DSLs • provide a reference clock to the clock controller Micro Controller Unit (MCU) The Micro Controller Unit (MCU) coordinates and controls the operation of the SILC. It has internal memory, a reset and sanity timer, and a serial control interface. The memory consists of 32 K of EPROM which contains the SILC operating program and 8 K of RAM used to store interface selection and other functions connected with call activities. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 382 of 906 NT6D70 SILC Line card The reset and sanity timer logic resets the MCU. The serial control interface is an IPE bus used by the MPU to communicate with the S/T transceivers. IPE interface logic The IPE interface logic consists of a Card-LAN interface, an IPE bus interface, a maintenance signaling channel interface, a digital pad, and a clock controller and converter. The Card-LAN interface is used for routine card maintenance, which includes polling the line cards to find the card slot where the SILC is installed. It also queries the status and identification of the card and reports the configuration data and firmware version of the card. The IPE bus interface connects an IPE bus loop that has 32 channels operating at 64 kbps and one additional validation and signaling bit. The Maintenance Signaling Channel (MSC) interface communicates signaling and card identification information from the system CPU to the SILC MCU. The signaling information also contains maintenance instructions. The digital pad provides gain or attenuation values to condition the level of the digitized transmission signal according to the network loss plan. This sets transmission levels for the B-channel voice calls. The clock recovery circuit recovers the clock from the local exchange. The clock converter converts the 5.12-MHz clock from the IPE backplane into a 2.56 MHz clock to time the IPE bus channels and an 8 kHz clock to provide PCM framing bits. S/T interface logic The S/T interface logic consists of a transceiver circuit and the DSL power source. This interface supports DSLs of different distances and different numbers and types of terminal. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D70 SILC Line card Page 383 of 906 The transceiver circuits provide four-wire full-duplex S/T bus interface. This bus supports multiple physical terminations on one DSL where each physical termination supports multiple logical B-channel and D-channel ISDN BRI terminals. Idle circuit-switched B-channels can be allocated for voice or data transmission to terminals making calls on a DSL. When those terminals become idle, the channels are automatically made available to other terminals making calls on the same DSL. The power on the DSL comes from the SILC, which accepts –48 V from the IPE backplane and provides two watts of power to physical terminations on each DSL. It provides -48 V for ANSI-compliant ISDN BRI terminals and –40 V for CCITT (such as ETSI NET-3, INS NET-64) compliant terminals. The total power used by the terminals on each DSL must not exceed two watts.

The UILC is an ANSI-defined standard interface. The UILC provides eight two-wire full-duplex (not polarity sensitive) U interfaces to connect ISDN BRI-compatible terminals over Digital Subscriber Loops (DSL) to the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1. A description of the ISDN BRI feature is contained in ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-218). You can install this card in any IPE slot. Note: A maximum of four UILCs are supported in an MG 1000S. A maximum of four UILCs are supported in an MG 1000S Expansion. Physical description The NT6D71 UILC is a standard-size circuit card. Its faceplate is equipped with an LED to indicate its status. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 386 of 906 NT6D71 UILC Line card Power consumption Power consumption is +5 V at 1900 mA. Functional description Each U interface provides two B-channels and one D-channel and supports one physical termination. This termination can be to a Network Termination (NT1) or directly to a single U interface terminal. Usually, this physical termination is to an NT1, which provides an S/T interface that supports up to eight physical terminal connections. The length of a DSL depends on the specific terminal configuration and the DSL wire gauge; however, it should not exceed 5.5 km (3.3 mi). The main functions of the UILC are as follows: • provide eight ISDN U interfaces conforming to ANSI standards • support point-to-point DSL terminal connections • provide channel mapping between ISDN BRI format (2B+D) and system bus format • multiplex four D-channels onto one timeslot • perform activation and deactivation of DSLs • provide loopback control of DSLs Micro Controller Unit (MCU) The Micro Controller Unit (MCU) coordinates and controls the operation of the UILC. It has internal memory, a reset and sanity timer, a serial control interface, a maintenance signaling channel, and a digital pad. The memory consists of 32 K of EPROM that contains the UILC operating program and 8 K of RAM that stores interface selection and other functions connected with call activities. The reset and sanity timer logic resets the MCU. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D71 UILC Line card Page 387 of 906 The serial control interface is an IPE bus that communicates with the U transceivers.

This card provides multiple interface types with four full-duplex serial I/O ports that can be independently configured for various operations. Peripheral software downloaded to the MSDL controls functionality for each port. Synchronous operation is permitted on all MSDL ports. Port 0 can be configured as an asynchronous Serial Data Interface (SDI). An MSDL card occupies one network card slot in Large System Networks, or Core Network modules and communicates with the CPU over the CPU bus and with I/O equipment over its serial ports. It can coexist with other cards Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 390 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card that support the same functions. For example, three cards supported with the MSDL (NT6D80) are QPC757 (DCHI), QPC513 (ESDI), QPC841 (SDI) and NTSD12 (DDP). Though the MSDL is designed to coexist with other cards, the number of ports supported by a system equipped with MSDL cards is potentially four times greater than when using other cards. Since each MSDL has four ports, representing a single device, a system can support as many as 16 MSDL cards with a maximum of 64 ports. Physical description The MSDL card is a standard size circuit card that occupies one network card slot and plugs into the module’s backplane connector to interface with the CPU bus and to connect to the module’s power supply. On the faceplate, the MSDL provides five connectors, four to connect to I/O operations and one to connect to a monitor device that monitors MSDL functions. Figure 82 on page 391 illustrates major MSDL components and their locations on the printed circuit card. Note: Switches S9 and S10 are configured to reflect the device number set in LD 17 (DNUM). S10 designates tens, and S9 designates ones. For example, set device number 14 with S10 at 1 and S9 at 4. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 391 of 906 Figure 82 MSDL component layout Card Address Switches Tens Ones LED S9 S10 DCE Port 0 DTE S4 DCE Port 1 S8 DTE ON S7 DTE ON S2 DCE Port 3 422 232 ON ON S3 DCE Port 2 422 232 ON ON ON S6 DTE ON S1 422 232 422 232 S5 Monitor Port 553-5431 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 392 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Functional description Figure 83 on page 393 illustrates the MSDL functional block diagram. The MSDL card is divided into four major functional blocks: • CPU bus interface • Micro Processing Unit (MPU) • Memory • Serial interface Two processing units serve as the foundation for the MSDL operation: the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the MSDL Micro Processing Unit (MPU). CS 1000 Release 4.5 software, MSDL firmware, and peripheral software control MSDL parameters. Peripheral software downloaded to the MSDL controls MSDL operations. The MSDL card’s firmware and software do the following: • communicate with the CPU to report operation status • receive downloaded peripheral software and configuration parameters • coordinate data flow in conjunction with the CPU • manage data link layer and network layer signaling that controls operations connection and disconnection • control operation initialization and addressing • send control messages to the operations CPU bus interface The CPU bus transmits packetized information between the CPU and the MSDL MPU. This interface has a 16-bit data bus, an 18-bit address bus, and interrupt and read/write control lines. Shared Random Access Memory (RAM) between the CPU and the MSDL MPU provides an exchange medium. Both the CPU and the MSDL MPU can access this memory. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 393 of 906 Figure 83 MSDL block diagram CPU Bus Address Bus Control Bus Data Bus Control and Data Transceivers Address Buffer and Decoding Logic Shared Resource Arbitrator MPU Address Decoding Logic Interface Registers Memory Address Counter & Buffer Shared Memory Micro Processing Unit (68020 MPU) Memory MPU Bus Address Bus Control Bus Data Bus DMA Arbitrator Parallel I/O Controller Integrated Serial Communication Controllers RS-232 Transceiver RS-232/422 Transceiver Monitor Port Port 0 RS-232/422 Transceiver Port 1 RS-232/422 Transceiver Port 2 RS-232/422 Transceiver Port 3 553-5432 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 394 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Micro Processing Unit (MPU) The MPU, which is based on a Motorola 68020 processor, coordinates and controls data transfer and port addressing, communicating via the CPU bus with the system. Prioritized interrupts tell the MPU which tasks to perform. Memory The MSDL card contains two megabytes of Random Access Memory (RAM) for storing downloaded peripheral software that controls MSDL port operations. The MSDL card includes the shared RAM that is used as a communication interface buffer between the CPU and the MPU. The MSDL Flash Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (Flash EPROM) also includes the peripheral software to protect it against a power failure or reset. MSDL can copy peripheral software directly from the Flash EPROM after power up or reset instead of requesting that the system CPU download it. The MSDL card also contains Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) for firmware that includes the bootstrap code. Serial interface The MSDL card provides one monitor port and four programmable serial ports that can be configured for the following various interfaces and combinations of interfaces: • synchronous ports 0–3 • asynchronous port 0 • DCE or DTE equipment emulation mode • RS-232 or RS-422 interface Transmission mode – All four ports of the MSDL can be configured for synchronous data transmission by software. Port 0 can be configured for asynchronous data transmission for CRT, TTY, and printer applications only. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 395 of 906 Equipment emulation mode – Configure an MSDL port to emulate DCE or DTE by setting switches on the card and downloading LD 17 interface parameters. I/O port electrical interface – Each MSDL port can be configured as an RS-232 or RS-422 interface by setting the switches on the MSDL card. MSDL ports use Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) II 26-pin female connectors. Figure 84 on page 396 shows the system architecture using the MSDL as an operational platform. It illustrates operation routing from the CPU, through the MSDL, to the I/O equipment. It also shows an example in which DCH operation peripheral software in the MSDL controls functions on ports 2 and 3. MSDL operations The system automatically performs self-test and data flow activities. Unless a permanent problem exists and the system cannot recover, there is no visual indication that these operations are taking place. The system controls the MSDL card with software that it has downloaded. The MSDL and the system enable the MSDL by following these steps: 1 When the MSDL card is placed in the system, the card starts a self-test. 2 When the MSDL passes the test, it indicates its state and L/W version to the system. The CPU checks to see if downloading is required. 3 After downloading the peripheral software, the system enables the MSDL. 4 MSDL applications (DCH, AML, SDI) may be brought up if appropriately configured.

This interface receives packetized data from the system and stores it in the transmit buffer on the MSDL. The transmit buffer transports these messages to the appropriate buffers, from which the messages travel over the MSDL port to the I/O equipment. The MSDL uses the MSDL receive interface to communicate with the system. The MSDL card receives packetized data from the I/O equipment over the MSDL ports. This data is processed by the MSDL handler and sent to the appropriate function. The flow control mechanism provides an orderly exchange of transmit and receive messages for each operation. Each operation has a number of outstanding messages stored in buffers waiting to be sent to their destinations. As long as the number of messages does not exceed the threshold specified, the messages queue in the buffer in a first-in-first-out process. If the outstanding number of messages for an operation reaches the threshold, the flow control mechanism informs the sender to wait until the number of messages is below the threshold before sending the next message. If buffer space is not available, the request to send a message to the buffer is rejected and a NO BUFFER fault indication is sent. Engineering guidelines Available network card slots The number of available network slots depends on the system option, the system size, and the number of available network slots in each module for the selected system option. Some of these network card slots are normally occupied by Network cards, Superloop Network cards, Conference/TDS, and others, leaving a limited number of unused slots for MSDL and other cards. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 398 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Card mix A system that exclusively uses MSDL cards can support up to 16 such cards, providing 64 ports. These ports can be used to run various synchronous and asynchronous operations simultaneously. The system will also support a mix of interface cards (MSDL, DCHI, and ESDI for example). However, using multiple card types will reduce the number of cards and ports available. Address decoding The MSDL card decodes the full address information received from the system. This provides 128 unique addresses. Since MSDL ports communicate with the CPU using a single card address, the system can support 16 MSDL cards providing 64 ports. The MSDL card addresses are set using decimal switches located on the card. These switches can select 100 unique card addresses from 0 to 99. An address conflict may occur between the MSDL and other cards because of truncated address decoding by the other cards. For example, if a DCHI port is set to address 5, its companion port will be set to address 4, which means that none of the MSDL cards can have hexadecimal address numbers 05H, 15H, …75H, nor addresses 04H, 14H, …74H. To avoid this conflicts system software limits the MSDL card addresses from 0 to 15. Port specifications The MSDL card provides four programmable serial ports configured with software as well as with switches for the following modes of operation: Transmission mode Configure an MSDL port for synchronous or asynchronous data transmission using LD 17. Synchronous transmission uses an external clock signal fed into the MSDL. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 399 of 906 Table 148 lists the synchronous interface specifications and the means of configuring the interface parameters.

For details on how to set the switches, refer to “Installation” on page 404 of this document. DCE is a master or controlling device that is usually the source of information to the DTE and may provide the clock in a synchronous transmission linking a DCE to a DTE. DTE is a peripheral or terminal device that can transmit and receive information to and from a DCE and normally provides a user interface to the system or to a DCE device. Interface Each MSDL port can be configured as an RS-232 or an RS-422 interface by setting the appropriate switches on the card. Table 150 lists the RS-232 interface specifications for EIA and CCITT standard circuits. It shows the connector pin number, the associated signal name, and the supported circuit type. It also indicates whether the signal originates at the DTE or the DCE device. This interface uses a 26-pin (SCSI II) female connector for both RS-232 and RS-422 circuits.

Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 403 of 906 • A maximum of eight MSDL cards can be installed in a fully occupied module because of the module’s power supply limitations. • The Clock Controller card should not be installed in a module if more than 10 MSDL ports are configured as active RS-232 (rather than RS-422) ports in that module because of the module’s power supply limitations. • The MSDL address must not overlap other card addresses. • Before downloading a peripheral software module for an MSDL, disable all MSDL ports on cards running the same type of operation. Environmental and power requirements The MSDL card conforms to the same requirements as other interface cards. The temperature, humidity, and altitude for system equipment, including the MSDL, should not exceed the specifications shown in Table 152. Table 152 Environmental requirements Condition Environmental specifications Operating Temperature Relative Humidity Altitude 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F) 5% to 95% non-condensing 3,048 meters (10,000 feet) maximum Storage Temperature Relative Humidity –50° to 70° C (–58° to 158° F) 5% to 95% non-condensing A stable ambient operating temperature of approximately 22°C (72°F) is recommended. The temperature differential in the room should not exceed ±3°C (±5°F). Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 404 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card The internal power supply in each module provides DC power for the MSDL and other cards. Power consumption and heat dissipation for the MSDL is listed in Table 153. Table 153 MSDL power consumption Voltage (VAC) Current (Amps) Power (Watts) Heat (BTUs) +5 +12 –12 3.20 0.10 0.10 16.00 1.20 1.20 55.36 4.15 4.15 Installation Device number Before installing MSDL cards, determine which of the devices in the system are available. If all 16 devices are assigned, remove one or more installed cards to replace them with MSDL cards. Make sure that the device number assigned to the MSDL card is not used by an installed card, even if one is not configured. Use the MSDL planning form, at the end of this section, to assist in configuring MSDL cards. MSDL interfaces Before installing the cards, select the switch settings that apply to your system, the interfaces, and card addresses. Table 154 on page 405 shows the switch positions for the DCE and the DTE interface configurations on the MSDL card. Figure 85 on page 406 shows the MSDL and the location of configuration switches on the MSDL. The switch 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 405 of 906 settings shown in this figure are an example of the different types of interfaces available.

Squeeze the tabs to unlatch the card locking devices and lift the locking device out and away from the card. Be careful not to touch connector pins, conductor traces, or integrated circuits. Static discharge may damage integrated circuits. 3 Insert the MSDL card into the selected card slot of the module following the card guides in the module. 4 Slide the MSDL into the module until it engages the backplane connector. 5 Push the MSDL firmly into the connector using the locking devices as levers by pushing them toward the card’s front panel. 6 Push the card-locking devices firmly against the front panel of the card so they latch to the front lip in the module and to the post on the card. 7 Observe the red LED on the MSDL faceplate. If it turns on, flashes three times, and stays on continuously, the MSDL is operating correctly but is not yet enabled. Go to step 7. 8 If the LED turns on and stays on continuously without flashing three times, the card may be defective. Go to steps 8 and 9. 9 Connect the cables. The installation is complete. 10 Unplug the MSDL card and reinsert it. If the red LED still does not flash three times, leave the card installed for approximately 10 minutes to allow the card to be initialized. 11 After 10 minutes unplug the card and reinsert it. If the card still does not flash three times, the card is defective and must be replaced. End of Procedure Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 408 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Cable requirements The MSDL card includes four high-density 26-pin (SCSI II) female connectors for ports and one 8-pin miniature DIN connector for the monitor port. See Figure 86 on page 409 for a diagram of the MSDL cabling configuration. A D-Channel on the MSDL requires a connection from the appropriate MSDL port connector to the DCH connector located on the ISDN PRI trunk faceplate. Other operations on the MSDL are connected to external devices such as terminals and modems. To complete one of these connections, connect the appropriate I/O connector on the MSDL to a connector on the I/O panel at the back of the module where the MSDL is installed. If a terminal is connected to the regular SDI port, use 8 bit, VT100 terminal emulation. If the terminal is connected to the SDI/STA port with line mode editing, use 8 bit, VT220 terminal emulation. To determine the type and number of cables required to connect to MSDL cards, you must determine the type of operation you wish to run and select the appropriate cable to connect the operation to the MSDL port. Different types of cables, as described in Table 155 on page 410, connect the MSDL port to a device: 553-3001-211 • NTND26, used to connect the MSDL port to the ISDN PRI trunk connector J5, for DCH • QCAD328, when cabling between two different columns, that is, I/O to I/O (when MSDL is in one row and QPC720 is in another row) • NTND98AA (J5 of QPC720 to I/O panel) • NTND27, used to connect the MSDL port to the I/O panel at the rear of the module, for other interface functions Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 409 of 906 Figure 86 MSDL cabling ESDI to I/O cable (NTND27AB—6 ft.)

PRI trunk connections D-channel operations require connections between the MSDL and a PRI trunk card. Refer to Meridian Link ISDN/AP General Guide (553-2901-100) for a complete discussion of PRI and D-channels. Procedure 17 Cabling the MSDL card to the PRI card The following steps explain the procedure for cable connection: 553-3001-211 1 Identify the MSDL and the PRI cards to be linked. 2 Select the appropriate length cable for the distance between the MSDL and the PRI card. 3 Plug the 26-pin SCSI II male connector end of a cable into the appropriate MSDL port. 4 Route the cable through cable troughs, if necessary, to the appropriate PRI card. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 411 of 906 5 Plug the DB15 male connector end of the cable into the J5 DB15 female connector on the PRI card. 6 Secure the connections in place with their fasteners. 7 Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each connection. End of Procedure I/O panel connections Operations aside from PRI require cable connections to the I/O panel. Connections between the I/O panel and Application Equipment Modules (AEM) are described in “Application Module description,” Meridian Link description (553-3201-110). Procedure 18 Cabling the MSDL card to the I/O panel The following steps explain the procedure for cable connection: 1 Identify the MSDL card and the I/O panel connector to be linked. 2 Using the NTND27AB cable, plug the 26-pin SCSI II male connector end of a cable into the appropriate MSDL port. 3 Route the cable to the rear of the module next to the I/O panel. 4 Plug the DB25 male connector end of a cable into a DB25 female connector at the back of the I/O panel. 5 Secure cable connectors in place with their fasteners. 6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each connection.

These activities are performed by an authorized person such as a system administrator. Troubleshooting the MSDL consists of determining problem types, isolating problem sources, and solving the problem. A craftsperson normally performs these activities. CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 systems have self-diagnostic indicators as well as software and hardware tools. These diagnostic facilities simplify MSDL troubleshooting and reduce mean-time-to-repair (MTTR). For complete information concerning system maintenance, refer to Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System Maintenance (553-3021-500). For complete information regarding software maintenance programs, refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). MSDL states MSDL states are controlled manually by maintenance programs or automatically by the system. Figure 87 on page 414 shows MSDL states and the transitions among them. These are the three states the MSDL may be in: • Manually disabled • Enabled • System disabled The following sections describe the relationships between these states. Manually disabled In this state, the MSDL is not active. The system does not attempt to communicate or attempt any automatic maintenance on the MSDL. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 414 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Figure 87 MSDL states Manually disabled 1 2 Enabled 3 5 4 System disabled 553-5435 A newly configured MSDL automatically enters the manually disabled state. An operating MSDL can be manually disabled by issuing the DIS MSDL x command in LD 37 (step 1 in Figure 87). Entering the DIS MSDL x command in LD 37 moves the card to manually disabled status and stops all system communication with the card (step 5 in Figure 87). Manually enabled When the card has been manually disabled, re-enable it with the ENL MSDL x command in LD 37 (step 2 in Figure 87). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 415 of 906 System disabled When the system disables the MSDL card (step 4 in Figure 87 on page 414), it continues to communicate and attempt maintenance procedures on the card. To stop all system communication with the card, enter DIS MSDL x to disable it (step 5 in Figure 87 on page 414). Otherwise, the system periodically tries to enable the card, attempting recovery during the midnight routines (step 3 in Figure 87 on page 414). The system disables the MSDL if the card: • exhibits an overload condition • does not respond to system messages • is removed • resets itself • encounters a fatal error • is frequently system disabled and recovered When an MSDL is system disabled, a substate indicates why the MSDL is disabled. The substates are: • Not Responding The system cannot communicate with the MSDL. • Self-Testing The MSDL card is performing self-tests. • Self-tests Passed The MSDL card successfully completed self-tests and the system is determining if download is required or the software downloading is complete. • Self-tests Failed The MSDL card self-tests failed. • Shared RAM Tests Failed The system failed to read/write to the MSDL shared RAM. • Overload The system received an excessive number of messages within a specified time period. • Reset Threshold The system detected more than four resets within 10 minutes. • Fatal Error The MSDL card encountered a fatal condition from which it cannot recover. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 416 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card • Recovery Threshold The MSDL card was successfully enabled by the MSDL autorecovery function five times within 30 minutes. Each time it was system disabled because of a problem encountered during operation. • Bootloading The MSDL base software is in the process of being downloaded to the MSDL. Detailed information on system disabled substates and the action required for each substate appears in “Symptoms and actions” on page 422. Maintaining the MSDL The system controls automatic MSDL maintenance functions. A craftsperson or system administrator performs manual maintenance by changing the card status, downloading new versions of peripheral software, or invoking self-tests. System controlled maintenance Built-in diagnostic functions constantly monitor and analyze the system and individual card, performing the following operations: • using autorecovery to automatically correct a temporarily faulty condition and maintain the system and its components • printing information and error messages to indicate abnormal conditions that caused a temporary or an unrecoverable error During system initialization, the system examines the MSDL base code. If the base code needs to be downloaded, the CPU resets the MSDL card and starts downloading immediately following initialization. At the same time, all other MSDL peripheral software programs are checked and, if they do not correspond to the system disk versions, the correct ones are downloaded to the card. If manual intervention is required during initialization or operation, information and error messages appear on the console or the system TTY to suggest the appropriate action. For a complete discussion of the information and error messages, refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). Detailed information of system disabled substates and the action required for each substate is found at the end of this document. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 417 of 906 Manually controlled maintenance Use manual maintenance commands found in the following programs to enable, disable, reset, get the status of, and perform self-tests on the MSDL card: • Input/Output Diagnostic Program LD 37 • Program LD 42 • Link Diagnostic Program LD 48 • PRI D-channel Diagnostic Program LD 96 For a complete discussion of these programs, refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). Note 1: Enter commands after the dot (.) prompt. Note 2: The “x” in the commands below represents the DNUM value of the card number. Enabling the MSDL Enter ENL MSDL x to enable the MSDL manually. If the MSDL base code has not been previously downloaded or if the card version is different from the one on the system disk, the software is downloaded and the card is enabled. To force software download and enable the card, enter ENL MSDL x FDL. This command forces the download of the MSDL base code and the configured peripheral software even if it is already resident on the card. The card is then enabled. To enable a disabled MSDL and its ports, enter ENL MSDL x ALL. This command downloads all peripheral software (if required) and enables any configured ports on the card. This command can be issued to enable some manually disabled ports on an already enabled MSDL. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 418 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Disabling the MSDL To disable an MSDL card, enter DIS MSDL x. To disable the MSDL and all its ports, enter DIS MSDL x ALL. Resetting the MSDL To reset an MSDL and initiate a limited self-test, the MSDL must be in a manually disabled state. To perform the reset, enter RST MSDL x. Displaying MSDL status To display the status of all MSDL cards, enter STAT MSDL. To display the status of a specific MSDL, enter STAT MSDL x. The status of the MSDL, its ports, and the operation of each port appears. The command STAT MSDL x FULL displays all information about an MSDL (card ID, bootload firmware version, base code version, base code state, operation state, date of base code activation) as well as the version, state, and activation date for each card operation. Self-testing the MSDL To perform extensive self-testing of an MSDL, enter SLFT MSDL x. This test can be activated if the card is in the manually disabled state. If the test passes, the system outputs the card ID and a pass message. If it fails, the system displays a message indicating which test failed. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 419 of 906 Manually isolating and correcting faults Problems are due to configuration errors that occur during installation or hardware faults resulting from component failure during operation. See “Symptoms and actions” on page 422 for more information on problem symptoms and required responses. Isolate MSDL faults using the diagnostic tools described below: 1 Observe and list the problem symptoms; for example, a typical symptom is a permanently lit LED. 2 If the LED flashes three times but the card does not enable, verify that the card is installed in a proper slot. 3 Check that the address is unique; no other card in the system can be physically set to the same device number as the MSDL. 4 If installation is correct and no address conflict exists, refer to “Newly installed MSDL cards” on page 419 or “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. 5 If the MSDL still does not operate correctly, contact your Nortel representative. Newly installed MSDL cards Problems that occur during MSDL card installation usually result from improperly installed, incorrectly addressed, or faulty cards. If the LED on a newly installed MSDL does not flash three times after insertion, wait 5 minutes, then remove and reinsert. If the LED still does not flash three times, the card is faulty. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 420 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Previously operating MSDL cards Problems that occur during normal operation usually result from faulty cards. Follow these steps to evaluate the situation: 1 2 Use the STAT MSDL x command to check MSDL card status. See “Displaying MSDL status” on page 418. If the card has been manually disabled, try to enable it using ENL MSDL x. See “Enabling the MSDL” on page 417. If this fails, perform self-testing as described in step 4. 3 If the card has been disabled by the system, disable it manually with DIS MSDL x. See “Disabling the MSDL” on page 418. 4 553-3001-211 Invoke self-testing with the SLFT MSDL x command. See “Self-testing the MSDL” on page 418. If self-tests fail, replace the card. If self-tests pass, try to enable the card again, as in step 2. If the card does not enable, note the message output to the TTY and follow the recommended action. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 421 of 906 Replacing MSDL cards After completing MSDL troubleshooting you may determine that one or more MSDL cards are defective. Remove the defective cards and replace them with new ones. Procedure 19 Replacing an MSDL card An MSDL card can be removed from and inserted into a system module without turning off the power to the module. Follow these steps: 1 Log in on the maintenance terminal. 2 At the > prompt, type LD 37 (you can also use LD 42, LD 48, or LD 96) and press Enter. 3 Type DIS MSDL x ALL and press Enter to disable the MSDL and any active operations running on one or more of its ports. The MSDL card is now disabled. 4 Disconnect the cables from the MSDL faceplate connectors. 5 Unlatch the card-locking devices, and remove the card from the module. 6 Set the switches on the replacement card to match those on the defective card. 7 Insert the replacement card into the same card slot. 8 Observe the red LED on the front panel during self-test. If it flashes three times and stays on, it has passed the test. Go to step 8. 9 If it does not flash three times and then stay on, it has failed the test. Pull the MSDL partially out of the module and reinsert it firmly into the module. If the problem persists, troubleshoot or replace the MSDL. 10 Connect the cables to the MSDL faceplate connectors. 11 At the . prompt in the LD 37 program, type ENL MSDL x ALL and press Enter to enable the MSDL and its operations. If the red LED on the MSDL turns off, the MSDL is functioning correctly. Since self-tests were not invoked, no result message appears. 12 Tag the defective card(s) with a description of the problem and return them to your Nortel representative. End of Procedure Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 422 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card Symptoms and actions Explained here are some of the symptoms, diagnoses, and actions required to resolve MSDL card problems. Contact your Nortel representative for further assistance. These explain the causes of problems and the actions needed to return the card to an enabled state following installation or operational problems. Symptom: The LED on the MSDL card is steadily lit. Diagnosis: The MSDL card is disabled or faulty. Action: Refer to “Manually isolating and correcting faults” on page 419. or Diagnosis: Peripheral software download failed because of MSDL card or system disk failure. Action: If only one MSDL card has its LED lit, replace it. Symptom: Autorecovery is activated every 30 seconds to enable the MSDL. MSDL300 messages appear on the console or TTY. Diagnosis: The MSDL card has been system disabled because of an incorrect address. Action: Verify the switch settings. or Diagnosis: The MSDL card has been system disabled because of peripheral software or configuration errors. Action: Refer to “System disabled actions” on page 423. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 423 of 906 System disabled actions These explain the causes of problems and the actions needed to return the card to an enabled state following system disabling. SYSTEM DISABLED—NOT RESPONDING Cause: The MSDL card is not installed or is unable to respond to the messages from the system. Action: Check the MSDL messages on the console and take the action recommended. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). Verify that the address switches on the MSDL are set correctly. Verify that the card is properly installed in the shelf for at least 5 minutes. If the problem persists, manually disable the card by entering the DIS MSDL x. Follow the steps described in “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTING Cause: The MSDL card has reset itself or the system has reset the card to perform self-tests. Self-tests are in progress. Action: Wait until self-tests are completed. Under some circumstances, the self-tests may take up to 6 minutes to complete. Take the action described in the appropriate section below (“SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS PASSED” or “SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS FAILED”). SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS PASSED Cause: The MSDL card passed self-tests. The system will automatically download the MSDL base code, if needed, and attempt to enable the card Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 424 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card using autorecovery. If a diagnostic program (overlay) is active, the downloading of the MSDL base code occurs later. Action: Wait to see if the system will enable the card immediately. If the MSDL is enabled, no further action is necessary. If the MSDL base code download fails five times, autorecovery stops. The following appears in response to the STAT MSDL x command; MSDL 10: SYS DSBL—SELFTEST PASSED NO RECOVERY UNTIL MIDNIGHT: FAILED BASE DNLD 5 TIMES SDI 10 DIS PORT 0 AML 11 DIS PORT 1 DCH 12 DIS PORT 2 AML 13 DIS PORT 3 Error messages will usually indicate the problem in this case. See “Maintaining the MSDL” on page 416. SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS FAILED Cause: The card did not pass self-tests. These tests repeat five times. If unsuccessful, autorecovery stops until midnight unless you take action. Action: Allow the system to repeat the self-tests. If self-tests fail repeatedly, disable the card using the DIS MSDL x command and replace the card. SYSTEM DISABLED—SRAM TESTS FAILED Cause: After self-tests passed, the system attempted to perform read/ write tests to the shared RAM on the MSDL and detected a fault. The shared RAM test will be repeated five times, and, if unsuccessful, autorecovery will not resume until midnight unless you take action. Action: Allow the system to repeat the self-tests. If self-tests fail repeatedly, disable the card using the DIS MSDL x command and replace the card. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT6D80 MSDL card Page 425 of 906 SYSTEM DISABLED—OVERLOAD Cause: The system received an excessive number of messages from the MSDL card in a certain time. If the card invokes overload four times in 30 minutes, it exceeds the recovery threshold as described in “SYSTEM DISABLED—RECOVERY THRESHOLD.” The system resets the card, invokes self-tests, and attempts to enable the card. The problem may be due to excessive traffic on one or more MSDL ports. Traffic load redistribution may resolve this condition. Action: Check the traffic report, which may indicate that one or more MSDL ports are handling excessive traffic. By disabling each port, identify the port with too much traffic and allow the remaining ports to operate normally. Refer to “Maintaining the MSDL” on page 416. If the problem persists, place the card in the manually disabled state by the DIS MSDL x command and follow the steps in “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. SYSTEM DISABLED—RESET THRESHOLD Cause: The system detected more than four MSDL card resets within 10 minutes. The system attempts to enable the card again at midnight unless you intervene. Action: Place the card in the manually disabled state with the DIS MSDL x command and follow the steps in “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 426 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card SYSTEM DISABLED—FATAL ERROR Cause: The MSDL card encountered a fatal error and cannot recover. The exact reason for the fatal error is shown in the MSDL300 error message output to the console of TTY when the error occurred. Action: Check the MSDL300 message to find out the reason. Alternatively, display the status of the MSDL, which also indicates the cause of the problem, with the STAT MSDL x command and check the information to find the cause of the fatal error. Allow the system to attempt recovery. If this fails, either by reaching a threshold or detecting self-test failure, place the MSDL in the manually disabled state with the DIS MSDL x command and follow the steps in “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. SYSTEM DISABLED—RECOVERY THRESHOLD Cause: The system attempted autorecovery of the MSDL card more than five times within 30 minutes and each time the card was disabled again. The system attempts to enable the card again at midnight unless you intervene. Action: Place the MSDL card in a manually disabled state with the DIS MSDL x command and follow the steps in “Previously operating MSDL cards” on page 420. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 526 Page 427 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Content list The following are the topics in this section: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 428 Features . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 428 Controls and indicators . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 429 Dialing operations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 430 Operating modes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 435 Keyboard dialing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 472 Hayes dialing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 485 Specifications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 497 System database requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500 Power supply . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 504 Installing the Data Access card . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 505 Port configuration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 507 Cabling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 509 Backplane pinout and signaling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 514 Configuring the Data Access card. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 517 Connecting Apple Macintosh to the DAC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 522 Upgrading systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 522 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 428 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Introduction The NT7D16 Data Access card (DAC) is a data interface card that integrates the functionality of the QPC723A RS-232 4-Port Interface Line card (RILC) and the QPC430 Asynchronous Interface Line card (AILC). This combination allows the NT7D16 DAC to work with the RS-232-C interface, the RS-422 interface, or both. The DAC supports up to six ports, each capable of operating in RS-232-C or RS-422 mode. Each port supports its own parameters that, once configured and stored in the system database memory, are downloaded to the card. You can install this card in any IPE slot. Features Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) indicate the status of the card, the call connection, and the mode (RS-232-C or RS-422) the DAC is operating in. A push-button toggle switch allows you to scan all six ports and monitor the activity on each port. The DAC supports the following features: 553-3001-211 • Asynchronous and full duplex operation • Keyboard dialing • Hayes dialing • Data terminal equipment (DTE)/data communication equipment (DCE) mode selection • Modem and gateway connectivity in DTE mode • Terminal and host connectivity in DCE mode • Forced or normal DTR • Hotline • Remote and local loopback testing • Virtual leased line mode • Inactivity timeout Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 429 of 906 • Wire test mode • Self diagnostics • Inbound modem pooling with any asynchronous modems • Outbound modem pooling using “dumb” modems • Outbound modem pooling using auto dialing modems Controls and indicators The LEDs on the DAC faceplate indicate the status mode for each port. Figure 88 on page 431 shows the NT7D16 DAC faceplate. Card status The LED at the top of the faceplate is unlabeled. This LED is: • off: if one or more ports are enabled • on: if all ports are disabled Electronic Industries Association signal monitors The six LEDs located below the card status LED are labeled SD, RD, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI. They show the dynamic state of the associated Electronic Industries Association (EIA) control leads for a specific port (as shown by the display). When in RS-422 mode, only SD and RD are utilized. When in RS-232-C mode, the LED goes on to indicate that the signal is asserted on, or off to indicate that the signal is asserted off. When the LED is off, there is no active voltage on the signal lead. CONNECT This lamp lights to indicate that a data call is established for the port displayed. A data call is connected when the data module-to-data module protocol messages are successfully exchanged between the two ends. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 430 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Port mode This lamp lights to indicate that the port indicated is in RS-422 mode. If the lamp is dark, the specified port is in RS-232-C mode. Port number The number displayed specifies the port driving the EIA signal LEDs mentioned above. The push-button switch below the display allows you to rotate among the six ports to monitor the activity of any port. This display is also used to monitor several error conditions. Port select button This push-button switch below the display is used to select which port is monitored. Wire test These switches are used to select the wire test mode for each of the six ports. Dialing operations The DAC supports both keyboard and Hayes dialing sequences. The following discussion concerns features common to both dialing modes. Port firmware in idle state The port firmware is considered idle when it is expecting one of the allowed autobaud characters. The idle state is identified by either of the following conditions: 553-3001-211 • The last prompt received was RELEASED (keyboard dialing). • The last prompt received was OK, NO CARRIER, or ERROR (Hayes dialing). Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 431 of 906 Figure 88 NT7D16 Data Access card faceplate card status SD RD EIA signal monitor LEDs DTR DSR DCD RI CONNECT CONNECT RS-422 Port mode Port number 2 Port select UN SEL Wire test WIRE TEST UN0 UN1 UN2 UN3 UN4 UN5 OFF ON NT7D16AA 553-5018 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 432 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Call Set-up abort The user may abandon the call during the dialogue phase using one of the following methods: • Terminal off-line This method is useful for RS-232-C interface only. The equipment drops Data Terminal Ready (DTR) to indicate an idle connection. For example, if the equipment is turned off, the DAC interprets that signal as an idle connection. • Long break The user sends a break (transmit line held in the OFF or SPACE state) for more than 1.2 seconds. The break is not transmitted to the far end. At the end of the long break, the DAC port initiates call disconnect. The AILU converts the dropping of DTR into a long break for the RS-422 interface. The long break feature can be disabled through the Modify menu on the DAC port. • Three short breaks When the user equipment transmits three breaks to the far end, the DAC abandons the call. Note that the breaks must be spaced at least 10 msec apart, and all three must occur within 3 seconds. Make Port Busy on loss of DTR This feature is implemented by means of the Make Set Busy (MSB) station feature. When this is activated, any attempt to reach the specified Data DN will result in a busy signal. This application, which operates only in the RS-232-C mode, requires a non-standard RS-232-C interface. Only two of the possible sixteen RS-232-C modes can be used: Mode 8 (DCE, Host, Normal DTR, Manual dial), and Mode 12 (DCE, Terminal, Normal DTR, Manual dial). This feature is configured in the software, and is downloaded to the DAC. A DTR timeout period is started whenever the DTR signal lead makes the transition to OFF. If DTR is returned to ON within the set time period (5 seconds), the DAC port operates as if this feature was not activated. If the DTR remains OFF beyond the 5 seconds, the system receives an MSB feature key message. The DAC sends another MSB message when the DTR returns to ON, and the port is able to receive inbound calls. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 433 of 906 Note: If this feature is active, and the port is connected to a DTE that holds DTR OFF when idle, the port will be permanently busied out to inbound calls following the DTR timeout period. Inactivity timeout Once a successful data call is completed, the user's activity is monitored. If no activity occurs within the amount of time configured in the downloaded parameters, the DAC releases the call. Three minutes before the inactivity timeout takes place, the DAC sends a warning message to the near-end equipment if terminal mode is selected. Wire test mode The DAC allows for the EIA signaling leads to be tested to facilitate installation and troubleshooting. This feature can be invoked through the service change downloaded parameters, or by setting the appropriate front panel switch. Wire test mode only operates when the port is idle. The leads are cycled ON and OFF in 0.5 second periods (ON for 0.5 seconds, OFF for 0.5 seconds) for the number of cycles shown in Table 156 on page 433. The lead status can be monitored by the front panel LEDs. The test will be run indefinitely until the front panel switch is turned off, and the software wire test parameters are disabled. Note: For the most accurate results, be sure no equipment is connected to the EIA leads.

The Hayes dialing mode also allows the user to modify the Input echo control, and Prompt/Result codes transmit control. With keyboard dialing, the Input echo control and Prompt/Response codes control are determined by the downloaded parameters. They cannot be altered through dialing commands. The DAC maintains separate buffers for keyboard and Hayes dialing modes. Changes made to a given parameter in one mode do not affect that parameter in the other mode. When a dialing mode is selected, the DAC copies the corresponding dialing parameters into the active buffer. This buffer controls the call processing. If the DAC receives an incoming call while idle, the most recent dialing mode is used to answer the call. User input User input may include either upper or lower case ASCII characters. All entries are accumulated in an input record. This record is completed with a Terminator character. For keyboard dialing, this character is always ; for Hayes dialing, it can be user defined (but default to ). The entries are not processed until the Terminator character is received. The input record is limited to 43 characters, including the Terminator, but excluding any ignored space characters. The record can be edited by using the backspace and escape characters. Operating modes There are sixteen possible RS-232-C operating modes with three basic common modes of operation which correspond to three types of equipment connected to the DAC. The three modes are: modem, terminal, and host. Host mode is a subset of the terminal mode, which only suppresses the prompts at the terminal. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 436 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card The fourth mode, gateway, is a subset of the modem mode and is not normally used. This mode is useful if the attached modems do not have Ring Indicator lead. The application used is inbound modem pooling. The different modes enable the DAC to connect to different types of devices such as modems (modes 0, 1, 2, and 3), gateways (modes 4, 5. 6, and 7), hosts (modes 8. 9. 10, and 11), and terminals (modes 12. 13. 14, and 15). After selecting the appropriate group (that is, modem, gateway, host, or terminal), the installer should study the four different modes in that group to make the proper selection. See Table 157.

Defaults for Type = R422: DEM = DCE and DTR = OFF. Selecting the proper mode for Modem connectivity Select modes 0, 1, 2, and 3 when the DAC is connected to different types of modems for inbound and outbound modem pooling. In these modes, the DAC operates as a DTE, monitors the DSR, DCD, and RI control leads, and drives the DTR lead. No menus are given and no characters are echoed when DCD is OFF. All prompts and messages are enabled for inbound calls and disabled for outbound calls. In modes 0 and 1, the DAC drives the DTR lead OFF when in the idle state, and ON when processing an incoming or outgoing call. In modes 2 and 3, the DAC drives the DTR lead ON except when the call is being disconnected. At disconnect, DTR is dropped for 0.2 seconds and then returns to ON. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 441 of 906 In the case of outbound modem pooling, the DAC answers the data call and drives the DTR lead ON (modes 0 and 1). Then the calling data module and the DAC form a transparent link between the calling DTE and the modem. The DTE user may then enter the appropriate commands to the modem for dialing a remote modem. When the call is established, the modem may cause the DAC to disconnect the call by dropping either DSR or DCD. In the case of inbound modem pooling, the modem must drive the RI lead ON to activate the DAC. Then the DAC responds by driving the DTR lead ON and making the unit busy for outbound calls (modes 0 and 1). The modem is expected to turn DCD to ON within 35 seconds; otherwise, the call will be dropped by the DAC. If the modem turns DCD ON before the 35-second timeout, the DAC validates the incoming call and prepares to accept from the remote modem for autobaud. See Figure 89 on page 442 for more details.

The modem used should have the following features: Auto-answer capability This feature is required when the modem is used for inbound modem pooling. It allows the modem to drive the RI lead ON when ringing is present at its tip and ring. In addition, the modem should auto-answer after the first ringing cycle if the DTR lead is ON (most modems support this feature). Dynamic control of DCD This feature must be supported by all modems to be connected to the DAC. It allows the modem to drive the DCD lead ON when the carrier is detected and OFF when the carrier is absent (most modems support this feature). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 443 of 906 Auto-dial capability This feature is required when the modem is used for outbound modem pooling. It allows the modem to go off-hook and dial the remote number (such as Smartmodem Hayes-2400 or Bizcomp). Auto-reset capability This feature is required when the modem is used for outbound modem pooling. The modem should execute auto-reset when the DTR lead goes OFF. As a result, the modem must reset all its internal parameters to the default values. This feature prevents the users of the modem pool from modifying the modem’s default parameters to inappropriate values. Configuring modems for mode 0 To configure Hayes modem 2400, enter the following commands: AT&D2&W ATVl&W ATQ&W ATEl&W ATSO= 1&W AT&Cl&Sl&W AT&J&W ATB1&W AT&D3&W Since the default parameters are programmable using commands, there is no guarantee that users will not change them. To configure Bizcomp 1200 modem, set the following parameters in LD11: DEMDTE PRMOFF DTROFF HOTOFF • To configure MULTI MODEM 224E modem, set the configuration switches as follows: switches 3 and 8 to DOWN position • all other switches to UP position. Switch 7 should be UP when using RJ-11 jack. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 444 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Programing DAC for mode 0 in service change LD11 When used for inbound or outbound Modem Pool only, the DAC can be configured as R232 in LD11. When used for both inbound and outbound Modem Pool, the DAC must be configured as R232; station hunting for the outbound modem access should be in the opposite direction to the 500/2500 station hunting for the inbound modem access. See Figure 90 on page 445 for more details. Note: If Call Detail Recording (CDR) is required, use separate outbound and inbound Modem Pools. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 445 of 906 Figure 90 DAC to Modem Pool connectivity System DAC Outbound hunting R232 port 0 Modem 1 R232 port 1 Modem 2 R232 port 2 Modem 3 R232 port 3 Modem 4 500/2500 line card Inbound hunting Unit 3 Unit 2 Unit 1 Unit 0 553-AAA1126 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 446 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Mode 1 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to an auto-answer modem for inbound Hotline operation. In this mode, the DAC automatically executes Hotline operation when RI is driven ON by the modem. The modem used should have the following features: Auto-answer capability This feature is required when the modem is used for inbound modem pooling. It allows the modem to drive the RI lead ON when ringing is present at its tip and ring. In addition, the modem should auto-answer after the first ringing cycle if the DTR lead is ON (most modems support this feature). Dynamic control of DCD This feature must be supported by all modems to be connected to the DAC. It allows the modem to drive the DCD lead ON when the carrier is detected and OFF when the carrier is absent (most modems support this feature). The baud rate of the Hotline call is determined by switches 6 and 8, and the system should be programmed to allow inbound modem calls only. Configuring modems for mode 1 Most dumb modems can be configured for this mode. The modem must be able to auto-answer and have dynamic control of DCD as described in mode 0. Smart modems can also be used if set to the dumb mode of operation. Hayes 2400, Bizcomp 1200, and MULTI MODEM 224E can be used when set up as follows: • For Hayes 2400, the dumb-mode-strap should be moved to the dumb-position (see Hayes manual). • For Bizcomp 1200 modem, set the following parameters in LD11: DEMDTE PRMOFF DTROFF HOTON Hayes 1200 cannot be used in this mode when the default parameters are selected (see mode 3). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 447 of 906 Programing DAC for mode 1 in service change LD11 The DAC must be configured as R232 (the Autodial feature key is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an Asynchronous Data Module (ADM) trunk. Mode 2 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a Hayes-1200 modem for inbound and outbound modem pooling. This mode is created specially to resolve some problems that were encountered with this modem, namely, the auto-reset implementation. When this modem is operating in the auto-reset mode, it drives both RI and DCD ON as long as DTR is OFF. This problem was resolved by driving DTR ON in the idle state, and OFF for 0.2 seconds, and then ON when an established call is dropped. The DAC also ignores the status of RI and DCD for approximately 2 seconds after a call is released to avoid false inbound call initiation. Configuring Hayes 1200 for mode 2 To configure this modem, set the following parameters in LD11: DEMDTE PRMOFF DTRON HOTOFF To configure this modem, set the configuration switches as follows: • switches 3, 8, and 10 to DOWN position • all other switches to UP position. Switch 7 should be UP when using RJ-11 jack. Programing DAC for mode 2 in service change LD11 When used for inbound or outbound Modem Pool only, the DAC can be configured as R232 in LD11. When used for both inbound and outbound Modem Pool, the DAC must be configured as R232. When the DAC is programmed as station hunting, outbound modem access should be in the opposite direction to the 500/2500 station hunting for the inbound modem access. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 448 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Note: If Call Detail Recording (CDR) is required, use separate outbound and inbound Modem Pools. Mode 3 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a Hayes-1200 modem for inbound Hotline operation. It is recommended that mode 1 be used for inbound Hotline operations if some other modem is available. However, if only Hayes-1200 modems are available, then this mode could be used as a last resort. Configuring Hayes 1200 for mode 3 For Hayes 1200 modem, set the following parameters in LD11: DEMDTE PRMOFF DTRON HOTON To configure this modem, set the configuration switches as follows: • all switches to UP position, except for switch 4. Switch 7 should be UP when using RJ-11 jack. Programing DAC for mode 3 in service change LD11 The DAC must be configured as R232 (the Autodial feature is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an ADM trunk. Selecting the proper mode for Gateway connectivity Select modes 4, 5, 6, and 7 when the DAC is connected to different types of gateways for inbound and outbound operations. The term gateway refers to any equipment that has the following characteristics: 553-3001-211 • The equipment must be a DCE. • The equipment does not drive RI lead (optional, the DAC ignores this lead). • The equipment must drive DCD lead dynamically. • The equipment drives DSR lead (optional). Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card • Page 449 of 906 The equipment can monitor the DTR lead (optional, depending on the mode selected). In modes 4, 5, 6, and 7, the DAC: • operates as a DTE • monitors the DSR • monitors DCD control leads • drives the DTR lead The RI lead is ignored. No menus or prompts are given when DCD is OFF. All prompts and messages are enabled for inbound calls and disabled for outbound calls. See Figure 91 on page 450 for more details. In modes 4 and 5, the DAC drives the DTR lead OFF in the idle state, and ON when processing an incoming or outgoing call. In modes 6 and 7, the DAC drives the DTR lead ON except when the call is being disconnected. At disconnect, DTR is dropped for 0.2 seconds and then returns to ON. With outbound gateway access, the DAC answers the data call and drives the DTR lead ON (modes 4 and 5; in modes 6 and 7, DTR is already ON). Then the calling data module and the DAC form a transparent link between the calling Data Module (DM) and the gateway. The DM user may then enter the appropriate commands to the gateway to establish a data call. The DAC expects the gateway to drive DCD ON (modes 4 and 5 only) within 35 seconds. If the gateway fails to do so, the DAC turns DTR OFF and drops the call. When the call is established, the gateway may cause the DAC to disconnect the call by dropping either DSR or DCD. For inbound gateway access, the gateway must drive the DCD lead ON to activate the DAC. When the DAC receives this signal, it drives the DTR lead ON, makes the unit busy for outbound calls (modes 4 and 5; in modes 6 and 7, DTR is already ON), and prepares to accept for autobaud. The DAC expects DCD to remain ON for as long as the data call is established.

The characteristics of the gateways to be used with this mode are: Auto-answer capability This feature is required when the gateway is used for inbound operation. It allows the gateway to drive the DCD lead ON when the inbound data call is pending. In addition, the gateway should auto-answer when the DTR lead is ON. Dynamic control of DCD This feature must be supported by all gateways to be connected to the DAC. It allows the gateway to drive the DCD lead ON when the data call is established, and OFF when the data call is disconnected. In the inbound operation, the DAC drives the DTR lead OFF until the gateway drives the DCD lead ON. Then, the DAC drives DTR ON and makes that unit busy for any outbound calls. After that, the user of the gateway may enter the proper commands to establish a local data call to any DM. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 451 of 906 In the outbound operation, the DAC drives the DTR lead OFF until another DM calls it for outbound accessing. The DAC answers the data call and drives the DTR lead ON. The calling DM is then transparently connected to the gateway. The DAC requires the gateway to drive the DCD lead to ON within 35 seconds after the outbound call is connected. Call disconnection may be initiated by dropping DCD (or DSR) from ON to OFF. Programing DAC for mode 4 in service change LD 11 When used for inbound or outbound gateway access, the DAC can be configured as R232 in LD 11. When used for both inbound and outbound gateway access, the DAC must be configured as R232. When the DAC is programmed as station hunting, outbound gateway access should be in the opposite direction to the hunting for inbound gateway access. See Figure 92 for more details. Note: If CDR is required, use separate outbound and inbound gateway access.

In this mode, the DAC automatically executes Hotline operation when DCD is driven ON by the gateway. If the DM being called by the Hotline operation is busy or not answering, the DAC will place repeated Hotline calls as long as the DCD lead is ON until the called unit answers. The gateway used in this mode should have the following features: Auto-answer capability This feature is required when the gateway is used for inbound operation. It allows the gateway to drive the DCD lead ON when the inbound data call is pending. In addition, the gateway should auto-answer when the DTR lead is ON. Dynamic control of DCD This feature must be supported by all gateways to be connected to the DAC. It allows the gateway to drive the DCD lead ON when the data call is established, and OFF when the data call is disconnected. The baud rate of the Hotline call is determined by the AUTB and BAUD parameters in LD 11. The system should be programmed to allow inbound modem calls only. Programing DAC for mode 5 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 (the Autodial feature is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an ADM trunk. Mode 6 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a gateway that requires DTR to be ON always except during call disconnection. In this mode, the DAC can be used for both inbound and outbound operations. The operation of this mode is similar to mode 4 except for the following: 553-3001-211 • The DTR lead is ON in the idle state. • The DTR lead will be dropped OFF for 0.2 seconds when an established call is disconnected. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 453 of 906 Programing DAC for mode 6 in service change LD 11 When used for inbound or outbound gateway access, the DAC can be configured as R232 in LD 11. When used for both inbound and outbound gateway access, the DAC must be configured as R232. When the DAC is programmed as station hunting, outbound gateway access should be in the opposite direction to the hunting for inbound gateway access. See Figure 92 on page 451 for more details. Note: If CDR is required, use separate outbound and inbound gateway access. Mode 7 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a gateway for inbound Hotline operation. The operation of this mode is similar to mode 5 except for the following: • The DTR lead is ON in the idle state. • The DTR lead will be dropped OFF for 0.2 second when an established call is disconnected. The baud rate of inbound Hotline calls is determined by programmable database. The system should be programmed to allow inbound calls only on the DAC unit. Programing DAC for mode 7 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 (the Autodial feature is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an ADM trunk. Selecting the proper mode for Host connectivity Select modes 8, 9, 10, and 11 when the DAC is connected to different types of hosts (DTE). In these modes, the DAC operates as a DCE and drives DSR, DCD, and RI control leads (see Figure 93 on page 454). CTS, DSR, and DCD are driven OFF in the idle state. The DAC will not send any menu or prompt to the host, nor will it echo any command sent from the host. The CTS, DSR, and DCD will be driven ON until the call is released. An incoming call to the DAC causes the RI lead to Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 454 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card go ON for 2 seconds and then OFF for 4 seconds until the call is answered by the host. When the host turns DTR ON, the DAC answers the call. If DM-to-DM protocol exchange is successful, the DAC drives CTS, DSR, and DCD ON. If DTR was already ON, the DAC does not drive RI ON. Figure 93 DAC to Host connectivity Host (DTE) DAC (DCE) pin 2 pin 3 pin 5 pin 6 pin 7 pin 8 pin 20 pin 22 >>> <<< <<< <<< <<< >>> <<< TX RX CTS DSR GND DCD DTR RI not required for mode 10 RS- 232 leads 553-5219 Mode 8 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a host for host accessing. In this mode, the DAC operates in a similar manner to the MCDS. The hosts used with this mode should have the following characteristics: Auto-answer capability The host should be capable of monitoring the RI lead for detection of incoming calls. When RI is turned ON by the DAC, the host responds by driving DTR ON, which forces the DAC to answer the incoming call. If the host drives the DTR lead ON all the time, incoming calls will always be immediately answered and the RI lead will not be turned ON by the DAC. If DM-to-DM protocol exchange is successful, the DAC drives CTS, DSR, and DCD ON. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 455 of 906 Dynamic control of DTR This feature is required only if the host must be capable of releasing an established call. The host should be able to drop an established data call by driving DTR OFF for more than 100 ms. Note: If the PBDO parameter in LD 11 is ON, then Make Set Busy will be activated when DTR is driven OFF for more than five seconds. In this mode, the DAC will not send any menus or prompts to the host. However, the host can still originate an outgoing call by blind-dialing (sending commands to the DAC without receiving echoes). Programing DAC for mode 8 in service change LD 11 When used for inbound or outbound host access, the DAC can be configured as R232 or R422 in LD 11. When used for both inbound and outbound host access, the DAC must be configured as R232 or R422. When the DAC is programmed as station hunting, outbound host access should be in the opposite direction to the hunting for inbound host access. Note: If CDR is required, use separate outbound and inbound host access. Mode 9 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a host and Hotline call origination is required. In this mode, the host will be able to Hotline to a specific data unit by simply driving the DTR lead ON. The transition of DTR from OFF to ON causes the DAC to Hotline to the Autodial DN. The hosts used with this mode should have the following characteristics. Dynamic control of DTR for call origination The host should be capable of driving the DTR lead from OFF to ON to initiate the Hotline call. If the host always drives the DTR lead ON (not capable of dynamic control), mode 11 should be used. Dynamic control of DTR for releasing established calls This feature is required only if it is required that the host be capable of releasing an established call. The host should be able to drop an established data call by driving DTR OFF for more than 100 ms. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 456 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Programing DAC for mode 9 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 or R422 (the Autodial feature is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an ADM trunk. Mode 10 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a host for inbound host accessing. The host in this mode is not required to monitor RI or drive DTR. This mode is similar to mode 8, except for the following: • The status of DTR lead is assumed to be always ON, even when the actual condition of that lead is OFF (forced-DTR). The DAC always answers an incoming call regardless of the status of DTR. • The host cannot release an established data call by driving DTR OFF. As a result, the host cannot initiate call release except with a long break or three short breaks. In this mode, the DAC does not send any menus or prompts to the host. However, the host can still originate an outgoing call by blind-dialing (sending commands to the DAC without receiving echoes). Programing DAC for mode 10 in service change LD 11 When used for inbound or outbound host access, the DAC can be configured as R232 in LD 11. When used for both inbound and outbound host access, the DAC must be configured as R232. When the DAC is programmed as station hunting, outbound host access should be in the opposite direction to the hunting for inbound host access. Note: If CDR is required, use separate outbound and inbound gateway access. Mode 11 This mode provides a “virtual leased line” and the meaning of the Forced DTR switch is re-defined. The operation is similar to having a leased line feature, where the connection between two extensions is always established. The DAC does not send any menus or prompts to the host. The baud rate of the Hotline call is determined by switches 6, 7, and 8. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 457 of 906 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a host and continuous Hotline operation is required. In this mode, the DAC repeatedly tries to Hotline to the Autodial DN as long as DTR is ON. When the DAC tries to Hotline to a busy Data Module, it activates Ring Again and the connection is established as soon as the called unit is free. After establishing the data call, if the called unit releases the call for any reason, the DAC will automatically try to Hotline again to reestablish the call. If the data unit being called does not answer the Hotline call, the DAC tries to place another Hotline call once every 40 seconds until the called unit answers. This mode is recommended only when a permanent connection between a host and another data unit is required. Programing DAC for mode 11 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 (the Autodial feature is used for this mode). The DAC must not be configured as an ADM trunk. Selecting the proper mode for Terminal connectivity Select modes 12, 13, 14,and 15 when the DAC is connected to different types of terminals. In these modes, the DAC operates as a DCE, drives DSR, DCD, and RI control leads, and monitors DTR lead in modes 12, 13, and 15 (see Figure 94 on page 458). DTR is ignored in mode 14. All the menus and prompts are sent to the terminals and all the commands from the terminals are echoed. CTS, DSR, and DCD are driven OFF during the idle state (data call is not established). When the call is released, DSR and DCD are turned OFF for 200 ms. The RI lead is controlled only in modes 12, 13, and 15, and is driven OFF in the idle and connect states. An incoming call to the DAC causes the RI lead to go ON for 2 seconds and then OFF for 4 seconds until the call is answered by the terminal. When the terminal turns DTR ON, the DAC answers the call. Mode 12 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a terminal (DTE) for inbound and outbound data calls. This mode is similar to the operation of the ASIM when set to not-forced-DTR and not-Hotline. In this mode, call origination and auto-answer will not be executed by the DAC, Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 458 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Figure 94 DAC to Terminal connectivity Terminal (DTE) DAC (DCE) pin 2 pin 3 pin 5 pin 6 pin 7 pin 8 pin 20 pin 22 >>> <<< <<< <<< <<< >>> <<< TX RX CTS DSR GND DCD DTR RI not required for mode 14 RS- 232 leads 553-5220 unless the DTR lead is driven ON by the terminal. Any terminal that drives the DTR lead ON can be used with this mode (such as VT100 or VT102). The DAC drives CTS, DSR, and DCD ON, except when a call is dropped or when control—Z is entered during the idle state. In this case, the DAC drives those leads OFF for 0.2 seconds and then ON. When the DTR lead is driven OFF by the terminal, the DAC does not execute autobaud, nor will it respond to any command. Note: If the PBDO parameter in LD 11 is ON, then Make Set Busy will be activated when DTR is driven OFF for more than five seconds. Programing DAC for mode 12 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 or R422 since Autodial, Speed Call, and Display commands are likely to be used. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 459 of 906 Mode 13 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a terminal (DTE) and Hotline call origination is required. This mode is similar to the operation of the ASIM when set to not-forced-DTR and Hotline. In this mode, the terminal is able to Hotline to a specific data unit by driving the DTR lead ON. The transition of DTR from OFF to ON causes the DAC to Hotline to the Autodial DN. Any terminal that drives DTR lead ON can be used with this mode (such as VT100 or VT102). The DAC drives CTS, DSR, and DCD ON, except when a call is dropped. In this case, the DAC drives those leads OFF for 0.2 second and then ON. The baud rate of the Hotline call is determined by the AUTB and BAUD parameters in LD 11. Programing DAC for mode 13 in service change LD11 The DAC must be configured as R232 or R422 since Autodial, Speed Call, and Display commands are likely to be used. Mode 14 This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a terminal (DTE) for inbound and outbound data calls. This mode is similar to the operation of the ASIM when set to forced-DTR and not-Hotline. The terminal used with this mode is not required to drive the DTR lead. This mode of operation is similar to mode 12, except for the following: • The status of DTR lead is assumed to be always ON, even when the actual condition of that lead is OFF (forced-DTR). The DAC always answers an incoming call regardless of the DTR status. • The terminal cannot release an established data call by driving DTR OFF. As a result, the terminal cannot initiate call release except with a long break or three short breaks. Programing DAC for mode 14 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 since Autodial, Speed Call, and Display commands are likely to be used. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 460 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Mode 15 This mode provides a “virtual leased line” and the meaning of the “Forced DTR” switch is re-defined. This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a terminal (DTE) and continuous Hotline call origination is required. In this mode, the DAC repeatedly tries to Hotline to the Autodial DN as long as DTR is ON. This operation is similar to having a leased line feature, where the connection between two extensions is always established. When the DAC tries to Hotline to a busy Data Module, it activates Ring Again and the connection is established as soon as the called unit is free. After establishing the data call, if the called unit releases the call for any reason, the DAC automatically tries to Hotline again to reestablish the call. If the data unit being called does not answer the Hotline call, the DAC tries to place another Hotline call once every 40 seconds until the called unit answers. This mode is recommended only when a permanent connection between a terminal and another data unit is required. The baud rate of the Hotline call is determined by the AUTB and BAUD parameters in LD 11. The status of CTS, DSR, and DCD is controlled in a similar manner as described in mode 13. Programing DAC for mode 15 in service change LD 11 The DAC must be configured as R232 since Autodial, Speed Call, and Display commands are likely to be used. Mode selection baud rates The AUTB and BAUD parameters in LD 11 provide two functions for calls originated from a DAC: 553-3001-211 • Provide a way to select a baud rate of a Hotline call. The DAC starts the Hotline operation without receiving a for autobaud. • Set the DAC to operate at a fixed baud rate. The DAC does not return the menu or Hotline unless a is received at the selected baud rate. Normally the DAC should be selected to operate at autobaud. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 461 of 906 Note: If AUTB is set to ON, the BAUD parameter is not prompted. If AUTB is set to OFF, you may select a fixed baud rate in response to the prompt BAUD. When the DAC receives a call, it adapts to the caller’s baud rate. See Table 158 for connect and disconnect protocol. Table 158 Connect and disconnect protocol (Part 1 of 12) Mode of operation Mode 0 Interface application Comments Inbound and Outbound modem pools Outbound modem pooling: For inbound modem pools, most dumb modems may be used. For outbound modem pools, only smart modems (auto-dialer) may be used. Modem sends ring/no ring cycle (2 seconds ON, 4 seconds OFF) to initiate connection. DAC responds by driving DTR ON within the first ring cycle. Modem responds by answering the incoming call and driving DCD ON within 35 seconds. If modem does not drive DCD ON within 35 seconds, the DAC drops DTR and goes idle. Remote DTE sends to the DAC. The DAC autobauds and sends initial prompt. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 462 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Table 158 Connect and disconnect protocol (Part 2 of 12) Mode of operation Interface application Comments Outbound modem pooling: Local DM user calls to the outbound modem access number. DAC answers the outbound call and drives DTR ON. Modem receives DTR and prepares to receive commands. Local DM user enters the proper commands for calling the remote modem. Remote modem answers; data call established. Call disconnection (DAC): DAC drops DTR if the local DM user drops the call. The modem must drop DCD. DAC drops DTR if the remote modem sends a long break or three short breaks. The modem must drop DCD. Call disconnection (modem): Modem drops DCD (DCD OFF for 100 ms or more). The DAC drops DTR and disconnects the local call. Modem drops DSR (DSR OFF for 100 ms or more). The DAC drops DTR and disconnects the local call. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 463 of 906 Table 158 Connect and disconnect protocol (Part 3 of 12) Mode of operation Mode 1 Interface application Comments Inbound Hotline modem pools Inbound Hotline modem pooling: Most dumb modems can be used for this application. Modem sends ring/no ring cycle (2 seconds ON, 4 seconds OFF) to initiate connection. DAC responds by trying to establish a Hotline call to a specific Data Module (Autodial). When Data Module answers, then and only then, the DAC turns DTR ON. Modem should answer the incoming call when DTR goes ON and should turn DCD ON within 35 seconds; otherwise the DAC disconnects the call. Call disconnection: Disconnection is the same as mode 0. Mode 2 Inbound and Outbound modem pools (with forced DTR) Use this mode with Hayes 1200 modem. Inbound and Outbound modem pooling: The DAC operation is identical to mode 0 except that DTR is always forced ON (except during disconnect). Call disconnection: Disconnection is identical to mode 0 except: —When a call is released, the DAC turns DTR OFF for 0.2 second and then ON. DTR stays ON until the next call release. —The DAC ignores RI and DCD for about 2 seconds after releasing a call. This avoids problems with the Hayes 1200 modem.

The DAC operation is identical to mode 1 except that DTR is always forced ON (except during disconnect). Call disconnection: Disconnection is identical to mode 2. Mode 4 Inbound and Outbound Gateway access Inbound Gateway connection protocol: Gateway raises DCD to initiate connection. DAC responds by driving DTR ON. Gateway does not have to turn DSR ON. However, toggling DSR or DCD from ON to OFF causes the DAC to disconnect the call. Gateway user sends to the DAC. DAC autobauds and sends the initial prompt to the Gateway. Outbound Gateway connection protocol: Local DM user calls the DAC that is connected to a Gateway. DAC answers the data call and drives DTR ON. Gateway receives DTR and prepares to receive commands. Local DM user is now transparently connected to the Gateway. Gateway is expected to drive DCD ON within 35 seconds. If the Gateway fails to do so, the DAC drops DTR and the call. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 465 of 906 Table 158 Connect and disconnect protocol (Part 5 of 12) Mode of operation Interface application Comments Call disconnection (DAC): DAC drops DTR if the local DM user drops the call.

The DAC drops DTR and disconnects the local call. Mode 5 Inbound Hotline Gateway access Inbound Hotline Gateway protocol: Gateway raises DCD to initiate connection. DAC responds by trying to establish a Hotline call to a specific Data Module (Autodial). When Data Module answers, then and only then, the DAC turns DTR ON. Gateway does not have to turn DSR ON. However, toggling DSR or DCD from ON to OFF causes the DAC to drop the call. Gateway is not transparently linked to the equipment connection to the DM.

Call disconnection (Host): The Host toggles DTR from ON to OFF (DTR must be OFF for 100 ms or more). The DAC drops DSR, DCD, and CTS and disconnects the local call. Mode 9 Hotline call origination Hotline originated by Host (Inbound): Host toggles DTR from OFF to ON to initiate the Hotline call. DAC responds by trying to establish a Hotline call to a specific Data Module (Autodial). 3When Data Module answers, then and only then, the DAC turns DSR, DCD, and CTS ON (the DAC does not send any prompts to the Host). If the Data Module is busy or not responding, the DAC requires another transition of DTR from OFF to ON to initiate another Hotline call. If the Host keeps DTR ON, the DAC does not try to establish another Hotline call, unless the Host sends a while DTR is ON.

Call disconnection: Disconnection is identical to mode 12. Keyboard dialing Keyboard dialing is an interactive dialogue mode between the connected equipment and the DAC. This dialogue allows equipment to give dialing commands to the DAC in order to make a data call to another far-end data port. Keyboard dialing supports a modify mode that allows the user to modify certain dialing parameters. The following keyboard dialing features are supported with the DAC: • 553-3001-211 Autobaud from 110 to 19200 bps Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 473 of 906 • Autoparity to ensure that the keyboard dialing menu is readable on the data terminal during the interactive dialogue mode • Originating calls to local and remote hosts • Ring Again • Speed Call • Two answer modes for incoming calls: manual and auto • Digit display • Dialing by mnemonic Initiating conditions In order for the DAC to respond to user commands/entries, the following conditions must be met: • The DAC must be active (power ON), and have successfully received the downloaded parameters from the system. • The user equipment must be active, and, if in RS-232-C mode, must assert these control lines — DCE mode: DTR (unless Forced DTR has been software selected) — DTE mode: RI has cycled the appropriate number of times Echo During call setup (dialogue phase), all user input is echoed back to the user equipment. Once the call is established, the DAC is transparent to data communication. To get echoed characters after a call is established, the far end must provide the echo. Note: When RS-232-C modes 12-15 (Host modes) are selected, there is no echo during dialogue phase. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 474 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Prompts Call processing prompts are in upper case letters only. Other prompts consist of both upper and lower case characters, and the dialogue session depicts the actual upper/lower case letters used. All prompts are preceded by the Carriage Return and Line Feed ASCII characters (, ). Prompts requesting user input are terminated with the ASCII colon (:). Prompts requiring a Yes or No answer are terminated by a question mark (?), followed by a list of allowable responses. The default response, if allowed, is bracketed. Call abort In addition to the methods mentioned above, which are common to both Hayes and keyboard modes, keyboard dialing supports the following method to abort a call during the dialogue phase. • Sending the Control Z character (simultaneously pressing the control and Z keys) sends a message to the DAC to immediately abandon the data call setup. Autobaud All user dialogue must begin with Autobaud detection. This allows the DAC to determine the user equipment baud rate. During this phase, only will be recognized by the DAC. All other entries are ignored, and no entries are echoed. Once a valid is detected, the DAC responds with the New Menu prompt at the baud rate detected. If a fixed rate has been determined by the downloaded parameters, the DAC will look for that rate. If the rates agree, the dialogue phase begins. If not, the following prompt is sent to the user: Baud Rate xxxx expected After receiving a number of invalid responses, the DAC reverts to autobaud detection, since the terminal data speed may have changed. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 475 of 906 Keyboard Autobaud is allowed after the call is placed in off-line mode. Note: If the Hayes autobaud characters A or a are sent, the DAC will enter Hayes dialing mode. Autobaud character detection is selected in the software. Auto parity The user can override the downloaded parity rate by entering the ASCII period (.) as a command. This period must be the only command sent, followed by . The period must be sent only when the Primary menu is displayed, and can be sent only once during a call setup session. Dialing operation For the purposes of this document, when illustrating the prompt/response sequences, the bold type is what the user enters on the keyboard. All other type represents the DAC output. Likewise, “xxxxxxx,” “yyyyyyy,” or “zzzzzzz” represents numbers entered by the user, or dialed by the DAC, and in no way indicates the absolute character limit. A maximum of 43 characters is allowed. When the user enters the autobaud character, , and the dialing mode is Manual (not Hotline), the DAC sends the following menu: ENTER NUMBER OR H (FOR HELP): If the user enters , the DAC presents this prompt again. When a number is entered, the DAC attempts to place the call. Entering H at this point will list the Primary Commands menu: Primary Commands Menu: A - Auto Dial C - Call D - Display M - Modify S - Speed Call CTRL Z (Abort Keyboard Dialing) Select: Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 476 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Whenever a Primary command is expected, the user may enter the Parity command (period). If Auto Parity has already been done, the Invalid Command menu is presented: Invalid Command/Entry Re-Enter: The user's port may be set to idle by entering CTRL Z. Any call in progress will be dropped, and any Ring Again placed will be released. Once the Primary Command menu has appeared, the user must enter C to place a call. The DAC will not accept a number in place of a Primary command. Primary commands Once the Primary menu has appeared, only primary commands are accepted. Call (C) The Call command must be used to place a call once the Primary menu has appeared. The DAC will not accept a number only.

In addition to the common parameters and functions, the Hayes dialing mode offers the following features: • Data call dialing • Two modes for answering incoming calls: auto and manual • Repeat previous command • Character echo control • On-hook/off-hook control • Detect off-line escape sequence • Return to on-line • Initiate Remote Digital Loopback • Terminate Remote Digital Loopback • Modify S Registers S0 through S12 • Display S Registers S0 through S12 • Support all S Registers except: S6, S7, S9, and S11 The Hayes dialing mode supports the following AT Dialing commands. Initiating conditions The DAC responds to commands only when the following initial requirements are met: • the DAC is active • the DAC has successfully received the downloaded parameters • the user equipment is active, and, if operating in RS-232-C mode — the DCE mode is DTR (unless Forced DTR has been software selected) Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 486 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card — the DTE mode, and RI has cycled the appropriate number of times and DCD is asserted on by the modem Note: In Gateway mode, DCD must be asserted on. In modem mode, only RI must be on. The DAC asserts DTR to the modem, and awaits DCD from the modem. Input requirements All input must be in the same case (upper or lower). The Hayes repeat command, A/, is used to immediately execute the last command entered. The terminator character need not be entered. A complete discussion of the Repeat command can be found later in this document. Where a Dial Number is expected, you may enter the characters 0-9, #, and comma (,). The characters @, P, R, T, and W are accepted, but ignored. The maximum number of characters is 43. This limit includes the AT prefix, and the record Terminator character, but does not include the ASCII space character. Echo Throughout the dialogue phase, the DAC echoes all user input. In RS-232-C modes 0, 1, 2, and 3, no inbound call messages are presented to the modem. Prompts are presented only if the modem user originates the call. In modes 8, 9, 10, and 11, no prompts or characters echo under any circumstances. The echo function can be turned off with a Hayes dialing command. All prompts and responses issued by the system are displayed to the user unless the display command has been disabled. Like the Repeat command, this is explained later in this document. Note: If the RS-232-C DAC Host modes (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12) are used, all attempts to enable the echo or display is ignored. Likewise, the Hayes Reset command is also ignored. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 487 of 906 Result codes and messages Each input record generates a result code which is sent to the user. Only one code is sent regardless of the number of commands in the record. The reply is in one of two formats: • Numeric replies contain a one- or two-number code • Verbose replies contain one or more words Table 159 shows the codes for each reply in both formats, and explanations for the codes. Note 1: Verbose commands are the default and appear in upper case characters only. Numeric commands are sent by issuing the Numeric Results code command (explained later in this document). Note 2: All verbose codes and messages are preceded and terminated by the user defined Terminator and New Line characters. The default, or reset, characters are the ASCII Carriage Return, and ASCII Line Feed. The Numeric codes are preceded and terminated by the Terminator character only. Note 3: The Suppress result command (explained later in this document) will disable the sending of these codes. If in RS-232-C DAC Host modes, this command is ignored. Table 159 Hayes dialing result codes and messages (Part 1 of 2) Verbose code Numeric code Description OK 0 Command(s) executed, no error CONNECT 1 Data call established, session starts RING 2 Inbound call presented NO CARRIER 3 Data call abandoned ERROR 4 Error in command line NO DIALTONE 6 System does not allow call to proceed Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 488 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Table 159 Hayes dialing result codes and messages (Part 2 of 2) Verbose code Numeric code Description BUSY 7 Far end is busy NO ANSWER 8 Far end does not answer CONNECT 1200 5 Session starts at 1200 baud CONNECT 2400 10 Session starts at 2400 baud CONNECT 4800 11 Session starts at 4800 baud CONNECT 9600 12 Session starts at 9600 baud CONNECT 19200 14 Session starts at 19200 baud Baud rate detection Every command line begins with Baud rate detection. This phase allows the DAC to determine the user equipment baud rate. During this phase, the DAC accepts only the ASCII “A,” or “a” characters. Once a valid autobaud character is detected, the DAC echoes the parity bit character at the baud rate detected. Note: If Hayes dialing is desired, you must enter the character “A” or “a” BEFORE the . If Carriage Return () is entered before this Hayes dialing command, you will be placed in keyboard dialing mode. Parity detection Once the baud rate has been determined, the DAC accepts only the ASCII characters “T,” “t,” or “/.” If the Repeat character “/” is entered, the previous command is executed. If “T,” or “t” is entered, the DAC uses its parity and the parity of the preceding A (a) to determine the user's parity. This parity is used on the following messages and prompts associated with the command lines. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 489 of 906 Note: The parity determined here overrides the parity downloaded from the system. Also, the T (t) must be entered in the same case as the A (a). If you entered uppercase A for the Baud Rate, you must enter upper case T for the parity. Dialing operation Like keyboard dialing, the Hayes dialing commands allow the user to initiate a data call, as well as change certain dialing parameters. The commands may be entered in either upper or lower case, but must be the same case throughout the command line. Also the case must match the autobaud case. Note: Hayes dialing does not allow for the Ring Again feature. If a call is made to a busy number, that call is abandoned. Table 160 provides a list of the AT dialing commands. Table 160 AT dialing commands (Part 1 of 2) Command Description ATA Answer (answer incoming data call) ATDnnnn ATDTnnnn Dial (n = 0-9, numbers to be dialed) A/ Repeat last command (no needed) ATO On-line (enter three Escape characters rapidly to go off-line) ATDPnnnn Voice call (n = 0-9, numbers to be dialed) ATF0 Handsfree/mute (toggle Handsfree between mute and normal) ATF1 Hold (put voice call on hold) ATF2 Select (take voice call off hold) ATH0 Hang up data call Note 1: To use AT dialing, enter CTRL-z at carriage return () when the port is idle. Note 2: Follow each command (except A/) by a carriage return () to execute it.

Transparent mode Note 1: To use AT dialing, enter CTRL-z at carriage return () when the port is idle. Note 2: Follow each command (except A/) by a carriage return () to execute it. For the purposes of this document, when illustrating the prompt/response sequences, the bold type is what the user enters on the keyboard. All other type represents the DAC output. Likewise, “xxxxxxx,” “yyyyyyy,” or “zzzzzzz” represents numbers entered by the user, or dialed by the DAC, and in no way indicates the absolute character limit. The number of characters is dependent on the feature activated (Auto Dial, Speed Call, for example). Also, for simplicity purposes, all Result messages are shown in Verbose code. See Table 159 on page 487 for a complete list of the Verbose and Numeric codes. See Features and Services (553-3001-306) for a complete description of the features operating. S registers These commands allow the user to access various dialing parameters. The user can determine the present parameter setting, and alter the parameter. These parameters are grouped into a set referred to as the S registers. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 491 of 906 All S registers may be changed with the exception of S1, the Ring count. If an attempt is made to change this parameter, the command is accepted but no action is taken. The Ring count is the number of 6-second intervals that have expired since an inbound call has been received. The current count may be displayed through the Display S register command but cannot be altered After a call is dropped, the Ring counter is set back to 0. If, when using the display or alter commands, no register or value number is input, the number 0 is used. For example, ATS? is equivalent to ATS0. Allowable S registers Table 161 shows the supported S registers allowed by the DAC. This table shows the register number, the range accepted (decimal values shown), and a description of the register. Whenever a register value is changed, the DAC checks for validity. If the value entered is not within the allowed range, all processing ceases and no command processing following the invalid entry is accepted. The DAC sends an ERROR result message. Table 161 Allowable S registers (Part 1 of 2) S register Range Range units Supported Description S0 0–255 Rings Yes Number of rings to answer a system call (0 = manual answer) S1 0–255 Rings Yes Ring count for the current inbound system call S2 0–127 ASCII Yes Off-line escape sequence character S3 0–127 ASCII Yes Input/output line terminating character S4 0–127 ASCII Yes New line character for the output line S5 0–32, 127 ASCII Yes Backspace character for input/ output lines S6 2–255 Seconds No Wait time before blind dialing S7 1–255 Seconds Yes Timeout timer for far end answering Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 492 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Table 161 Allowable S registers (Part 2 of 2) S register Range Range units Supported Description S8 0–30 Seconds Yes Duration for the dial pause character S9 1–255 0.1 second No Carrier detect response time S10 1–255 0.1 second No Delay time between loss of carrier and call release S11 50–255 Milliseconds No Touch tone spacing S12 20–255 20 milliseconds Yes Guard time for the escape sequence You can view any of the S registers by issuing the following display command. Any S register can be specified through the ATS command, and the system will display the current setting for that parameter. More than one S register can be viewed by listing the desired registers on the same command line. One registerTwo registers ATS8? ATS8? S9 20 002 OK 006 OK To change any S register range, except S1, use the following change command. The new parameters remain in effect until another change command is given or the Hayes Reset modem command (Z) is issued. If the DAC is powered up, the parameters are reset to the defaults. ATS8 = 15 OK 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 493 of 906 Reset Hayes parameters All of the Hayes dialing parameters and S registers remain even after the data call is complete. Similarly, if the dialing mode, keyboard to Hayes or vice versa, are changed, the parameters remain as specified. The following command allows you to reset the parameters and S registers to the defaults. Entering 0 resets to the Hayes default, while entering 1 resets to the downloaded operating parameters. CAUTION All previous instructions will be ignored. This command should only be used to reset all parameters. It should be the last command entered, because all previous commands are ignored. ATZ0 1 OK Table 162 lists all the parameter and S register default values. These are the values established when the reset command is given.

Consequently, if such variances occur during the call processing, the DAC releases the call and notifies you with a NO CARRIER or BUSY result code. Table 163 lists the command characters allowed for an outbound call. Table 163 Allowed outbound call command characters Character Description 0-9 Dial number normal digits , Delay dialing the next digit by the value set in S8 register Inbound calls The DAC supports auto answer and manual answer capabilities. The following commands give examples of both auto and manual answer dialogues. This dialogue session describes the sequence when the S0 register is set to three. In this case, the DAC automatically answers the incoming call on the third ring, and the session begins with the CONNECT message. RING RING RING CONNECT Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 496 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card Issuing the On Hook command while the call is still ringing disconnects the incoming call. The DAC disconnects the call and notifies you with a NO CARRIER message. RING RING ATH0 NO CARRIER When the S0 register is set to 0, the DAC is set to manual answer, and an inbound call must be answered with the Answer command. You can also abandon the call with the On Hook message, as in the Autodial sequence. RING RING ATH0 NO CARRIER Off Line mode Off Line mode acts as a sort of Hold mode. Once the call is answered and the session begins, the Off Line command enables you to enter Hayes command modes. The Off Line sequence is transmitted to the far-end, but at the end of the sequence, the command mode is initiated. At this point, any Hayes command except Dial Number can be executed. Once the desired command is completed, you can return to the call through the On Line command. The Guard Time (S12 register) defines the amount of time for no local input for the Off Line escape sequence to take place. If the S12 register is set to 0, enter the escape character defined in the S2 register. For a complete list of the parameters allowed for each S Register, see Table 162 on page 493 describing the S Registers. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT7D16 Data Access card Page 497 of 906 In the following example, is the Guard Time and the Escape Character defined in the S2 register. The example shows the Off Line escape sequence, the command to display an S register (Ring Count, in this case), and the command to go back on line and attend to the answered call. ).

It is based on the NT8D02 Digital Line card and is functionally equivalent to three NT8D02s, and configured as cards 4, 5, and 6 in the main chassis. It uses A94 Digital Line Interface chips (DLIC) to provide the interface between the Digital sets and the system. The NTDK16 Digital Line card can only be installed in slot 4 of the main chassis which is slotted to prevent accidental insertion of other cards. Physical description The Digital Line card circuitry is mounted on a 31.75 cm by 25.40 cm (12.5 in. by 10 in.) printed circuit board. The NT8D02 is a double-sided PCB, whereas the NTDK16 is 4 layers, but standard thickness. Both cards connect to the backplane through a 120-pin or 160-pin edge connector. The faceplate of the NT8D02 Digital Line card is equipped with a red LED that lights when the card is disabled. See Figure 104 on page 529. When the card is installed, the LED remains lit for two to five seconds as a self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit until the card is configured and enabled in software, then the LED goes out. If the LED continually flashes or remains weakly lit, replace the card. Note: The NTDK16AA has one LED. This LED shows the status of Card 4. The NTDK16BA has three LEDs. These LEDs show the status of Cards 4, 5, and 6 configured on the NTDK16. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards Page 529 of 906 Figure 104 Digital line card – faceplate Card lock latch LED Dgtl LC NT8D02 Rlse 04 Card lock latch 553-6160 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 530 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards Functional description NT8D02 Digital Line card The NT8D02 digital line card is equipped with 16 identical units.

Each unit provides a multiplexed voice, data, and signaling path to and from digital apparatus over a 2-wire full duplex 512 kHz time compression multiplexed (TCM) digital link. Each digital telephone and associated data terminal is assigned a separate terminal number (TN) in the system database, for a total of 96 addressable ports per card. Refer to Figure 106 on page 533. The NTDK16 digital line card contains a microprocessor that provides the following functions: • self-identification • self-test • control of card operation • status report to the controller • maintenance diagnostics The card also provides: • Ability to support Digital sets and the Digital Console M2250 • Provides a serial link (Card LAN) for status report and maintenance. • Supports loop lengths up to 3500 ft. (1.0 km) using 24 AWG wire. • Interface between three DS30X loops and 48 TCM lines. Card interfaces The digital line card passes voice, data, and signaling over DS-30X loops and maintenance data over the card LAN link. These interfaces are discussed in detail in the section “Intelligent Peripheral Equipment” on page 32. Digital line interfaces The digital line interface contains two Digital Line Interface Circuits (DLIC). Each digital line interface circuit provides eight identical, individually configurable voice and data interfaces to eight digital telephone lines. These 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards Page 533 of 906 Figure 106 NTDK16 DLC Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 534 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards lines carry multiplexed PCM voice, data, and signaling information as TCM loops. The purpose of each digital line interface circuit is to de-multiplex data from the DS-30X Tx channel into eight integrated voice and data bitstreams. The circuits then transmit those bitstreams as Bi-Polar Return to Zero, Alternate Mark Inversion (BPRZ-AMI) data to the eight TCM loops. They also perform the opposite action: they receive eight BPRZ-AMI bitstreams from the TCM loops and multiplex them onto the DS-30X Rx channel. The two digital line interface circuits perform the multiplexing and de-multiplexing functions for the 16 digital telephone lines. The digital line interface circuits also contain signaling and control circuits that establish, supervise, and take down call connections. These circuits work with the on-card microcontroller to operate the digital line interface circuits during calls. The circuits receive outgoing call signaling messages from the Call Server and return incoming call status information to the Call Server over the DS-30X network loop. TCM loop interface circuit Each digital telephone line terminates on the NT8D02 Digital Line card at a TCM loop interface circuit. The circuit provides transformer coupling and foreign voltage protection between the TCM loop and the digital line interface circuit. It also provides battery voltage for the digital telephone. To prevent undesirable side effects from occurring when the TCM loop interface cannot provide the proper signals on the digital phone line, the card microcontroller can remove the ±15 V dc power supply from the TCM loop interfaces. This happens when either the microcontroller gets a command from the NT8D01 controller card to shut down the channel, or the digital line card detects a loss of the 1 KHz frame synchronization signal. The ±15 V dc power supply signal is removed from all 16 TCM loop interface units at the same time. Each TCM loop interface circuit can service loops up to 3500 ft. in length when using 24-gauge wire. They support a maximum ac signal loss of 15.5 dB at 256 KHz and a maximum dc loop resistance of 210 ohms. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards Page 535 of 906 Card control functions Control functions are provided by a microcontroller and a Card LAN link on the digital line card. A sanity timer is provided to automatically reset the card if the microcontroller stops functioning for any reason. Microcontroller The NT8D02 Digital Line card contains a microcontroller that controls the internal operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller card. The microcontroller controls the following: • reporting to the Call Server through the card LAN link: — card identification (card type, vintage, and serial number) — firmware version — self-test status — programmed configuration status • receipt and implementation of card configuration: — programming of the digital line interfaces — enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card — programming of loop interface control circuits for administration of line interface unit operation — maintenance diagnostics The microcontroller also controls the front panel LED when the card is enabled or disabled by instructions from the NT8D01 controller card. Card LAN interface Maintenance data is exchanged with the common equipment Call Server over a dedicated asynchronous serial network called the Card LAN link. Sanity timer The NT8D02 Digital Line card also contains a sanity timer that resets the microcontroller if program control is lost. The microcontroller must service Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 536 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards the sanity timer every 1.2 seconds. If the timer is not properly serviced, it times out and causes the microcontroller to be hardware reset. Circuit power The +15 V dc input is regulated down to +10 V dc for use by the digital line interface circuits. The ±15.0 V dc inputs to the card are used to power the loop interface circuits.

Table 181 Analog message waiting line card – environmental specifications Parameter Specifications Operating temperature 0° to +60° C (+32 to +140° F), ambient Operating humidity 5 to 95% RH (non-condensing) Storage temperature –40° to +70° C (–40° to +158° F) Connector pin assignments The analog message waiting line card brings the 16 phone lines to the IPE backplane through a 160-pin connector shroud. The backplane is cabled to the I/O panel on the rear of the module, which is then connected to the MDF by 25-pair cables. Telephone lines from station equipment cross connect to the analog message waiting line card at the MDF using a wiring plan similar to that used for trunk cards. A typical connection example is shown in Figure 111 on page 560 and Table 112 on page 563 shows the I/O pin designations at the backplane connector. This connector is arranged as an 80-row by 2-column array of pins. Normally, these pin positions are cabled to 50-pin connectors at the I/O panel in the rear of each module for connection with 25-pair cables to the cross-connect terminal. The information in Table 182 on page 559 is provided as a reference and diagnostic aid at the backplane, since the cabling arrangement may vary at the I/O panel.

Figure 112 on page 563 shows where the switches and jumper blocks are located on this board. Jumper and switch settings The NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card has no user-configurable jumpers or switches. The card derives its address from its position in the backplane and reports that information back to the CPU through the LAN Link interface. Software service changes Individual line interface units on the NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card are configured using the Analog (500/2500-type) Telephone Administration program LD 10. The message waiting feature is enabled by entering data into the customer data block using LD 15. See Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 10 and LD 15 service change instructions. Analog message waiting line cards with a vintage later than NT8D09AK provide a fixed +2 dB transmission profile change in the gain of the D/A convertor. See Table 183 on page 562. This transmission profile change is used for control of end-to-end connection loss. Control of such loss is a major element in controlling transmission parameters such as received volume, echo, noise, and crosstalk. The loss plan for the analog message waiting line card determines port-to-port loss between an analog line card unit (port) and other IPE ports. LD 97 is used to configure Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 562 of 906 NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card the system for port-to-port loss. See Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 97 service change instructions.

The NT8D14CA has been modified to add a longer loop capability for CAMA trunk applications. The NT8D14CA comes equipped with a set of 2 jumpers for each hybrid that should be set to the longer loop length (LL) when the trunk is used in a CAMA application. The jumpers are numbered P35 to P50 and are set to the shorter loop length (SL) position when it comes from the factory. For each hybrid, both jumpers should be changed to the LL position only if used as a CAMA trunk. Otherwise the jumpers should be left to the SL position. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 566 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card interfaces eight analog trunk lines to the system. Each trunk interface is independently configured by software control using the Trunk Administration program LD 14. You can install this card in any IPE slot. Note: Each MG 1000S can contain up to four analog trunk cards. Each MG 1000S Expansion can contain up to four analog trunk cards. The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card supports the following trunk types: • Centralized Automatic Message Accounting (CAMA) trunks • Central Office (CO), Foreign Exchange (FEX), and Wide Area Telephone Service (WATS) trunks • Direct Inward Dial (DID) trunks • Tie trunks: two-way Loop Dial Repeating (LDR) and two-way loop Outgoing Automatic Incoming Dial (OAID) • Recorded Announcement (RAN) trunks • Paging trunks The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card also supports Music, Automatic Wake Up, and Direct Inward System Access (DISA) features. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 567 of 906 Table 184 lists the signaling and trunk types supported by the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card.

Physical description The trunk and common multiplexing circuitry is mounted on a 31.75 cm by 25.40 cm (12.5 in. by 10 in.) printed circuit board. The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card connects to the backplane through a 160-pin connector shroud. The backplane is cabled to the I/O panel, which is cabled to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) by 25-pair cables. External equipment, such as recorded announcement machines, paging equipment, and Central Office facilities, connect to the card at the MDF. See the Communication Server 1000S: Installation and Configuration (553-3031-210) for termination and cross-connect information. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 568 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card The faceplate of the card is equipped with a red Light Emitting Diode (LED). See Figure 113 on page 569. When an NT8D14 Universal Trunk card is installed, the LED remains lit for two to five seconds while the self-test runs. If the self-test is successful, the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is configured and enabled in software, then the LED goes out. If the LED flashes continuously or remains weakly lit, replace the card. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 569 of 906 Figure 113 Universal trunk card – faceplate Card lock latch LED Univ Trk S This symbol indicates that field-selectable jumper strap settings are located on this card NT8D14 Rlse 0x Card lock latch 553-6195 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 570 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Functional description Figure 114 shows a block diagram of the major functions contained on the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card.

These interfaces are described in “Intelligent Peripheral Equipment” on page 32. Trunk interface units The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card contains eight identical and independently configurable trunk interface units (also referred to as circuits). Each unit provides impedance matching and a balanced network in a signal transformer/analog hybrid circuit. Also provided are relays for placing outgoing call signaling onto the trunk. Signal detection circuits monitor incoming call signaling. Two codecs are provided for performing A/D and D/A conversion of trunk analog voiceband signals to digital PCM signals. Each codec supports four trunk interface units. The following features are common to all units on the card: • trunk type configurable on a per unit basis • terminating impedance (600 or 900 ohms) selectable on a per-unit basis (minimum vintage BA) • balance impedance (600 or 900 ohms or complex impedance network) selectable on a per-unit basis (minimum vintage BA) • control signals provided for RAN and paging equipment • loopback of PCM signals received from trunk facility over DS-30X network loop for diagnostic purposes • switchable pads for transmission loss control Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 572 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Card control functions Control functions are provided by a microcontroller, a card LAN interface, and signaling and control circuits on the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card. Microcontroller The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card contains a microcontroller that controls the internal operation of the card and the serial card LAN link to the controller card. The microcontroller controls the following: • reporting to the CE CPU through the card LAN link: — card identification (card type, vintage, and serial number) — firmware version — self-test status — programmed configuration status • receipt and implementation of card configuration through the card LAN link: — programming of the codecs — enabling/disabling of individual units or entire card — programming of input/output interface control circuits for administration of trunk interface unit operation — maintenance diagnostics — transmission pad settings Card LAN interface Maintenance data is exchanged with the common equipment CPU over a dedicated asynchronous serial network called the Card LAN link. Signaling and control The signaling and control portion of the Universal Trunk card works with the CPU to operate the card hardware. The card receives messages from the CPU over a signaling channel in the DS-30X loop and returns status information to the CPU over the same channel. The signaling and control portion of the card 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 573 of 906 provides the means for analog loop terminations to establish, supervise, and take down call connections. Signaling interface All trunk signaling messages are three bytes long. The messages are transmitted in channel zero of the DS-30X in A10 format. Configuration information for the Universal Trunk card is downloaded from the CPU at power-up or by command from maintenance programs. Eleven configuration messages are sent. Three messages are sent to the card to configure the make/break ratio and A-Law or µ-Law operation. One message is sent to each unit to configure the trunk characteristics. Operation Administrators can assign optional applications, features, and signaling arrangements for each unit on the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card through the Trunk Administration LD 14 and Trunk Route Administration LD 16 programs or jumper strap settings on the card. Loop start operation Loop start operation is configured in software and implemented in the card through software download messages. When the card is idle, it provides a high impedance toward the CO for isolation and ac (ringing) detection. Incoming calls The alerting signal into the System is 20 Hz (nominal) ringing sent by the CO. When an incoming call is answered, ringing is tripped when the System places a low-resistance dc loop across the tip and ring leads toward the CO. See Figure 115 and Figure 116 on page 575. Outgoing calls For outgoing calls, the software sends an outgoing seizure message to place a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads toward the CO. See Figure 117 on page 576 and Figure 118 on page 577. When the CO detects the low-resistance loop, it prepares to receive digits.When the CO is ready to Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 574 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Figure 115 Loop start call states – incoming call from CO/FX/WATS System (near) end Ground on tip, battery on ring CO / FX / WATS (far) end High-resistance loop Near end disconnects Idle Forced far end disconnect Near end disconnects first (Note 3) Low-resistance loop Dial tone after far end timeout Far end disconnects first (Note 2) Near end answers, ringing is removed (Note 1) Far end originates by ringing Note 1: The originating office may reverse battery and ground when attendant answer is received.

Outward address signaling is then applied from the system in the form of loop (interrupting) dial pulses or DTMF tones. Polarity-sensitive/-insensitive packs feature The CS 1000 Release 4.5 software provides the polarity-sensitive/ polarity-insensitive (PSP and PIP) packs feature for the accurate recording of outgoing call duration for loop start and ground start operation. On trunks equipped with far-end answer supervision, the PSP class of service is enabled in software and causes call-duration recording in CDR records to begin only upon receipt of answer supervision from the far-end. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 575 of 906 Figure 116 Loop start call connection sequence – incoming call from CO/FX/WATS A Near end Far end Meridian 1 CO State Idle Signal/direction Ringing Call presented to console loop key 2-way voice connection A goes on hook Idle B goes on hook Idle Remarks Ground on tip/ battery on ring Highresistance loop Trunk seizure Console answers B Ringing signal is superimposed on battery by the CO upon seizure.

Near end restores high-resistance loop when terminal A goes on hook. 553-6240 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 576 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Figure 117 Ground start call states – incoming call from CO/FX/WATS System (near) end Tip open, battery on ring Ground on tip, battery on ring CO / FX / WATS (far) end High-resistance loop Idle Low-resistance loop Near end disconnects Far end disconnects far end disconnects first Near end disconnects first (Note 2) Ringing Far end originates Assignment to loop key Near end answers, ringing is removed (Note 1) Note 1: The far end may reverse battery and ground upon receipt of attendant answer.

In the idle state, the tip conductor from the CO is open and a high-resistance negative battery is present on the ring lead. Incoming calls In an incoming call, after ground is detected on the tip, the universal trunk card scans for a ringing detection signal before presenting the call to an attendant and tripping the ringing. When the attendant answers, a low resistance is placed across the tip and ring conductors, which trips CO ringing and establishes a speech path. See Figure 119 on page 579 and Figure 120 on page 580. Reverse-wiring compensation The CS 1000 Release 4.5 software includes a feature for detecting reverse wiring (connection of the near-end tip and ring leads to the far-end ring and tip leads) on ground start trunks with far-end answer supervision. Ordinarily, an incoming call on a reverse-wired trunk without reverse-wiring compensation presents ringing on the tip lead rather than on the ring lead. Since the software expects to see a ground on the tip lead, it interprets the end of the first ringing signal as a switchhook flash. But since the interval between ringing signals exceeds the switchhook flash time of 512 milliseconds, the software assumes a far-end disconnect. This causes the call to be presented to a console loop key and then immediately removed. The reverse-wiring compensation feature operates as follows. If an apparent disconnect takes place immediately after the first ringing signal, the software time stamps the event and temporarily remove the call from the console loop key. If another such ringing/disconnect event occurs during the No Ringing Detector (NRD) time, the trunk is considered “possibly reverse-wired” and a threshold counter starts. Calls on trunks identified as possibly reverse-wired are presented to the attendant during the initial ring, removed, and then continuously presented after the second ring. If a call on a possibly reverse-wired trunk is abandoned before the attendant answers, it is disconnected after the NRD timer expires. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 579 of 906 Figure 119 Ground start call states – incoming call from CO/FX/WATS System (near) end Tip open, battery on ring Ground on tip, battery on ring CO / FX / WATS (far) end High-resistance loop Idle Low-resistance loop Near end disconnects far end disconnects first Far end disconnects Near end disconnects first (Note 2) Near end answers, ringing is removed (Note 1) Ringing Far end originates Assignment to loop key Note 1: The far end may reverse battery and ground upon receipt of attendant answer. Note 2: The near end provides a high-impedance (>150k ohms) disconnect signal of at least 50 ms before reconnecting the ground detector. 553-AAA1133 A trunk identified as possibly reverse-wired is switched by the software to loop start processing after the second ring. This switching takes place on a call-by-call basis. Thus, if a previously correctly wired trunk becomes reverse-wired, the next incoming call is marked as possibly reverse-wired and the threshold count begins. If the threshold count exceeds its limit, an error message is printed and the trunk is registered as “positively reverse wired.” Once identified as positively reverse wired, the call is presented continuously from the first ring.

Note 1: The far-end can reverse battery and ground upon receipt of attendant answer. Note 2: The near-end provides a high-impedance (>150k ohms) disconnect signal of at least 50 ms before reconnecting the ground detector. Outgoing calls For outgoing calls, the trunk provides a ground to the ring lead. The CO responds by grounding the tip and returning dial tone. After the tip ground is detected by the card, a low-resistance path is placed between the tip and ring leads and the ground is removed from the ring. Addressing is then applied from the system in the form of loop (interrupting) dial pulses or DTMF tones. See Figure 121 on page 582 and Figure 122 on page 583. The Polarity-Sensitive/Polarity-Insensitive Packs (PSP and PIP) feature must be set to provide for proper outgoing call-duration recording with ground start operation. Refer to the description of loop start operation in this section for a more complete discussion of PSP and PIP.

Low-resistance loop Detection of the ground on tip is signaled to the CE via the data input bus. The CE then sends a signal via the data output bus to place a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring and remove ground from ring. Address signaling Digits are outpulsed in the form of a series of loop pulses or DTMF tones. Ringback Upon receipt of the first pulse/tone, the CO removes dial tone. When outpulsing is complete, terminal B is rung (if idle) and the proper audible indication is returned to local end. When terminal B answers, ringing is tripped and CO cuts terminal B through to trunk. Some COs may reverse battery and ground on tip and ring when terminal B answers or for toll denial.

See Figure 123 on page 585 and Figure 124 on page 586. Dial pulses or DTMF tones are then presented from the CO. When the called party answers, the universal trunk card reverses battery and ground on the tip and ring leads to the CO. The trunk is arranged for first party release. The CO releases the trunk by removing the low-resistance loop, at which time normal battery and ground are restored at the near-end. This also applies to incoming tie trunk calls from a far-end PBX. Note: The near-end can be configured for immediate start, delay dial, or wink start. Two-way, loop dial repeating, TIE trunk operation Incoming calls In an incoming call configuration, the far-end initiates a call by placing a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads. See Figure 125 on page 587 and Figure 126 on page 588. This causes a current to flow through the battery feed resistors in the trunk circuit. Address signaling is then applied by the far-end in the form of DTMF tones or dial pulses. When the called party answers, an answer supervision signal is sent by the software, causing the System to reverse battery and ground on the tip and ringleads to the far-end. Far-end disconnect is initiated by opening the loop while the near-end disconnect is initiated by restoring normal battery and ground. The operation represented in Figure 125 on page 587 and Figure 126 on page 588 also applies to incoming DID trunk calls from a CO. Note: Where no near-end answer supervision is provided, the party at the far-end hangs up after recognizing near-end call termination. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 585 of 906 Figure 123 DID trunk, loop DR call states – incoming call from CO System (near) end Ground on tip, battery on ring Battery on tip, ground on ring Idle High-resistance loop Forced near end disconnect CO (far) end Low-resistance loop Far end disconnects first Forced far end disconnect Near end disconnects first Battery-ground or loop pulsing or DTMF (Note) Near end answers Far end originates Note: The near end may be configured for immediate start, delay dial, or wink start. 553-AAA1137 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 586 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Figure 124 DID trunk, loop DR call connection sequence – incoming call from CO A Near end Far end System CO Signal/direction State Ground on tip/ battery on ring Idle Trunk seizure Outpulsing A rings 2-way voice connection B goes on hook A goes on hook Remarks Highresistance loop Low-resistance loop CO places a low resistance between tip and ring.

See Figure 127 on page 590 and Figure 128 on page 591. An outgoing call from the near-end seizes the trunk facility by placing a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads. Outward addressing is then applied from the System in the form of DTMF tones or dial pulses. If answer supervision is provided by the far-end, reverse battery and ground on the tip and ring leads are returned. The operation represented in Figure 129 on page 592 and Figure 130 on page 593 also applies to outgoing calls on a DID trunk.

See Figure 131 on page 595. Note: If a ground start trunk, the outpulse towards office occurs after ground detection. If a loop start trunk, the outpulse towards office occurs one second later. For immediate start, following the seizure signal, the far-end starts pulsing after the standard delay (normally 65 ms, minimum). For delay dial or wink start modes, stop/go signaling (off hook/on hook or battery/ground reversal) is returned by the System after receipt of the seizure signal. The delay dial (stop) signal begins immediately upon seizure and ends (go signal) 384 ms later. The wink start (stop) signal begins 384 ms after seizure and ends (go signal) 256 ms later. The far-end detecting the go signal starts pulsing after the standard delay (normally 55 ms, minimum). Stop/go signaling, in addition to the signaling function, serves as an integrity check to help identify a malfunctioning trunk. If required, the near-end can be configured to provide pseudo-answer supervision at the expiration of the end-of-dial timer. End-of-dial timer settings are made at the EOD (non-DTMF) or ODT (DTMF) prompts in the Trunk Route Administration program LD 16. The operation represented in Figure 132 on page 596 also applies to incoming calls on a DID trunk from a CO. Outgoing calls When DDL or WNK mode is used, outgoing calls require a stop/go signal from the far-end so that the near-end cannot outpulse until the far-end is ready to receive digits.

Where no far-end answer supervision is provided, the party at the far-end hangs up after recognizing near-end call termination. Outgoing automatic, incoming dial operation Incoming calls When the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card is seized by the far-end on an incoming call, a low-resistance loop is placed across the tip and ring leads. Addressing is then sent by the far-end in the form of battery-ground or loop pulses, or DTMF tones. The trunk is released at the far-end when the loop is opened. When the near-end detects an open loop, it returns to a normal state. See Figure 134 on page 599 and Figure 135 on page 600. Outgoing calls When seized as a dial-selected outgoing trunk, the near-end places the battery on the tip and ground on the ring. This alerts the far-end of the seizure. The far-end responds with a low resistance across the tip and ring leads. See Figure 136 on page 601 and Figure 137 on page 602.

When configured for Recorded Announcement (RAN) operation, a trunk unit is connected to a customer-provided recorded announcement machine. Announcement machines must be compatible with RAN trunks. Use the manufacturer’s instructions to set up the Announcement machines. Each trunk unit provides the following for operation with RAN equipment: • pulse start, level start, or continuous operation modes • selectable termination of tip and ring leads into 600 or 900 ohms for interface with a low-impedance (2 or 4 ohms) source • connection of up to 24 trunk units to a single announcement machine channel Recorded announcement machines Recorded announcement machines store prerecorded voice messages that are played back to the trunk units to which they are connected. Most commercially available announcement machines store recordings digitally, although some drum and tape units are still in service. An announcement machine can provide one or more channels and each channel may be prerecorded with a different message. Some announcement machines also provide a Special Information Tone (SIT) capability. These tones are inserted at the beginning of intercept messages such as “Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and try again.” Figure 138 on page 604 shows a typical connection from a single announcement machine channel to unit 0 on a universal trunk card.

The signal names shown in Figure 139 are typical. Note 1: For continuous operation mode, connect the trunk unit MB line to the announcer B line only, and ground the announcer ST+ line. For pulse start or level start modes, connect the trunk unit MB line to the announcer ST+ line only, and leave the announcer B line unconnected. Note 2: A maximum of 24 universal trunk card units can be paralleled to a single announcer channel. Multi-Channel RAN modes In Multi-Channel RAN, multiple RAN channels can be configured within one RAN trunk route. In a Multi-Channel RAN route, each trunk has its own dedicated RAN channel on a physical RAN machine. Multi-Channel RAN routes do not support the cross connecting (daisy chains) of multiple trunk ports together so that several callers hear the same RAN message. Multi-channel machine types – Continuous Mode Multi-Channel (MCON), Pulse Start/Stop Multi-Channel (MPUL) and Level Start/Stop Multi-Channel (MLVL) – are not linked to a RAN machine or a given trunk. All trunks belonging to the RAN route are considered independent. RAN trunks and RAN machine channels are connected one-to-one. If one RAN trunk is detected as faulty, then all other trunks are not impacted. For the RAN machine types, the maximum length of the recorded announcement is two hours. The meaning of a ground signal received from the RAN machine (play or idle) is configured in LD 16. Multi-Channel Level Start/Control Mode (minimum vintage BA) A RAN mode of operation is available called “Multi-Channel Level Start/ Control Mode.” This mode enables provisioning of multiple RAN channels for a RAN route (playing the same message independently on demand) cross-connected one-to-one to each RAN trunk in a multi-channel level start RAN route. Do not bridge RAN trunks in a multi-channel RAN route.

Refer to “Programming RAN trunks” on page 608 and to Software Input/ Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for instructions on service change programs. Continuous operation mode In the continuous operation mode (sometimes called the Audichron mode), a message is constantly played, over and over again. Callers “barge in” on a playing message or receive a ringback tone until the message plays again. The start line (ST+) is hardwired as always active. See Figure 139 on page 606. At the end of each message, a pulse is issued on the “C” line that is used by the trunk unit to cut through to the waiting call. Note: The “B” (busy) signal line indicates availability of an announcement machine message to the trunk unit when configured for the continuous operation mode. This signal is made active (ground) by the announcement machine if the channel contains a recorded message and is in an online condition. The “B” line is not connected to a trunk unit when configured for start mode operation. Start modes (minimum vintage BA) In a start mode (sometimes called the Code-a-Phone or start-stop mode), playback of a message does not begin until a start pulse is received by the announcement machine. Two subcategories of the start mode exist: pulse start and level start. In the pulse start mode, a start pulse activates playback of a message that continues until completion. The announcement machine ignores all other start pulses that might occur until the message is complete. In the level start mode, the start signal is a “level” rather than a pulse. The leading edge of the start signal initiates message playback that continues until either the trailing edge of the start signal occurs or the end of the message is reached. A message that is terminated by the trailing edge of a level start signal is immediately reset and ready for playback again. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 608 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Call routing to RAN trunks CS 1000 Release 4.5 software controls recorded announcement machines. These programs detect the calls to be intercepted, determine the type of intercept treatment required (for example, overflow, attendant, announcement), queue the intercept, and provide ringback tone to the calling party. At the proper time, an intercepted call is connected to the appropriate RAN trunk. Programming RAN trunks The type of intercept and the RAN trunk parameters are defined in the Trunk Data Block LD 14, Customer Data Block LD 15, and Route Data Block LD 16 programs. The Trunk Data Block and Route Data Block programs specify the following: • the RAN trunk • the type of announcement machine • the number of repetitions of announcements before a forced disconnect (all calls) or an attendant intercept is initiated (CCSA/DID calls only) • the point at which the trunk may be connected to the announcement The Customer Data Block program defines the type of intercept and the trunk route to which the intercept is to be connected.

Only incoming trunks in idle ground start configuration can provide disconnect supervision. You configure release control for each trunk independently in the Route Data Block (LD 16). PAD switching The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by the class-of-service (COS) you assign in the Trunk Data Block (LD 14). Transmission properties may be via net loss (VNL) or non via net loss (non-VNL). Non-VNL trunks are assigned either a Transmission Compensated (TRC) or Non-Transmission Compensated (NTC) class-of-service to ensure stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul trunks, such as Tie trunks. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 612 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card The class-of-service determines the operation of the switchable PADs contained in each unit. They are assigned as follows: • Transmission Compensated — used for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than 2 dB for which impedance compensation is provided — or used for a four-wire non-VNL facility • Non-Transmission Compensated — used for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB — or used when impedance compensation is not provided 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 613 of 906 The insertion loss from IPE ports to IPE ports is as follows: Table 188 Insertion Loss from IPE Ports to IPE Ports (measured in dB) IPE Ports 500/2500 Line Digital Line 2/4 Wire E&M Trunk 4 Wire (ESN) E&M Trunk CO/FX /WATS Loop Tie Trunk 2.5 0 0.5 0 0.5 0 -3.5 0 -0.5 0.5 IPE Ports CO/FX/ WATS Loop Tie Trunk Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 614 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Connector pin assignments The universal trunk card connects the eight analog trunks to the backplane through a 160-pin connector shroud.

Jumper selection for 3COM/3CM2 restriction does not apply to NT8D14BB. Jumper strap settings For most applications, the jumper strap settings remain set to the standard configuration as shipped from the factory. See Table 190 on page 616. The jumper strap settings must be changed, as shown in Table 191 on page 617, for the following: • 553-3001-211 For CO/FX/WATS or TIE trunk loops exceeding 1524 meters (5000 ft.) Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 619 of 906 • DID trunks exceeding a loop resistance of 600 ohms • RAN trunks operating in pulse start or level start modes Figure 140 on page 620 shows jumper locations on the universal trunk card (vintage BA). Service change entries The trunk type, terminating impedance, and balance network are selected by making service change entries in the Trunk Administration program LD 14. See Table 193 on page 621 for the proper values for the trunk type and loop length. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for LD 14 service change instructions. Before the appropriate balance network can be selected, the loop length between the near-end and the far-end (a Central Office, for example) must be known. To assist in determining loop length, some typical resistance and loss values for the most common cable lengths are given in Table 194 on page 622 for comparison with values obtained from actual measurements.

For convenience, the pads settings are called “in” and “out.” Pad settings are determined by the two factors listed below (the first is under direct user control; the second is controlled indirectly): • Class of Service is assigned in LD 14 (under direct user control). • Port-to-port connection loss is automatically set by software on the basis of the port type selected in LD 16; only the port type is set by the user (controlled indirectly). The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by the class of service assigned in LD 14. Transmission properties can be Via Net Loss (VNL) or non-Via Net Loss (non-VNL). The VNL class of service is assigned at the prompt CLS with the response VNL. The non-VNL class of service is assigned at prompt CLS by selecting either the Transmission Compensated (TRC) or Non-Transmission Compensated (NTC) response. Non-VNL trunks are assigned a TRC or NTC class of service to ensure stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul trunks, such as Tie 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 623 of 906 trunks. The class of service determines the operation of the switchable pads contained in each unit. They are assigned as follows: • TRC for a 2-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than 2 dB, or for which impedance compensation is provided, or for a 4-wire non-VNL facility. • NTC for a 2-wire, non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB, or when impedance compensation is not provided. See Table 195 for the pad switching control for the various through connections and the actual port-to-port loss introduced for connections between the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card and any other port designated as Port B.

If the Universal trunk card is the originating port, the UTC pads are out, the Port B (PE CO/FX/WATS) pads are in. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 624 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Applications The optional applications, features, and signaling arrangements for each trunk are assigned through unique route and trunk data blocks. Paging trunk operation A universal trunk card unit can be configured as a paging trunk. Configure units as paging trunks in the Trunk Data Block program LD 14 and assign routes in the Route Data Block program LD 16. Figure 141 on page 625 shows a typical connection from customer-provided equipment to unit 0 on a universal trunk card that can be installed in slots 1, 2, and 3 in an MG 1000S, and slots 7, 8, 9, and 10 in an MG 1000S. See Communication Server 1000S: Installation and Configuration (553-3031-210) for trunk wiring information. Music operation A trunk unit can be connected to a music source. The audio source should provide an adjustable power output at 600 ohms. Configure units for music at the MUS or AWR prompts in the Trunk Administration program LD 14 and assign routes at the MRT prompt in the Route Data Block program LD 16. Music operation is similar to that of RAN in the continuous operation mode. Connect the unit tip and ring leads to the audio source and ground the CP line at the MDF. If the music source is equipped with contacts that close when music is online, use these contacts to provide a ground to the MB line; otherwise, ground the MB line at the MDF. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 625 of 906 Figure 141 Connecting paging equipment to the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card (typical) System Cross connect Typical customerprovided external equipment NT8D37 IPE Module NT8D14 Universal Trunk Card Bat Module I/O Panel Slot 0 Connector 0R 0A 0PG Unit 1 26 1 27 2 K1 (w-bl) (bl-w) Bat MDF A 0T Unit 0 K1 Audio pair Tape recorder, radio, etc. K2 K1 Microphone contacts K3 K2 (w-o) (o-w) Microphone K3 K3 Amplifier Speaker Signal pair K2 Part of 25-pair cable Bat Unit 7 553-AAA1150 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 626 of 906 553-3001-211 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Standard 3.00 August 2005 666 Page 627 of 906 NT8D15 E& M Trunk card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 627 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 629 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 631 Operation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 641 Electrical specifications. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 652 Connector pin assignments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 655 Configuration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 658 Applications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 664 Introduction The NT8D15 E&M trunk card interfaces four analog telephone trunks to the switch. Each trunk interface connects to a trunk facility using tip and ring leads that carry voice, ringing, and tone signaling, and to signaling interfaces by E&M leads. Each unit can be configured independently by software control in the Trunk Data Block (or Trunk Administration) program LD 14. You can install this card in any IPE slot. Note: Up to four analog trunk cards are supported in each MG 1000S and four analog trunk cards in each MG 1000S Expansion. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 628 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Note: In Cabinet systems equipped with Meridian Mail, the Universal Trunk line card cannot be installed in slot 10 of the main cabinet. The NT8D15 E&M trunk card supports the following types of trunks: • 2-wire E&M Type I signaling trunks • two-wire dial repeating trunks • two or four wire tie trunks • 4-wire E&M trunks: — Type I or Type II signaling — duplex (DX) signaling • paging (PAG) trunks Type I signaling uses two signaling wires plus ground. Type II and DX signaling uses two pairs of signaling wires. Most electronic switching systems use Type II signaling. Table 196 lists the signaling and trunk types supported by the NT8D15 E&M trunk card.

The E&M trunk card connects to the backplane through a 160-pin connector shroud. External equipment connects to the card at the back of the MG 1000S using a 25-pin connector. Telephone lines from station equipment cross connect to the OPS analog line card at the MDF using a wiring plan similar to that used for line cards. See Communication Server 1000S: Installation and Configuration (553-3031-210) for termination and cross connect information. Each card provides four circuits. Each circuit connects with the switching system and with the external apparatus by an 80-pin connector at the rear of the pack. Each trunk circuit on the card connects to trunk facilities by tip an ring leads which carry voice, ringing, tone signaling and battery. Trunk option selection is determined by software control in LD 14. Figure 142 on page 630 illustrates the faceplate of the E&M trunk card. The words “Dict Trk” appear on the faceplate label because earlier versions of this card provided dictation trunk connections for third-party equipment. The faceplate of the card is equipped with a red LED. When an E&M trunk card is installed, the LED remains lit for two to five seconds while the self-test runs. If the self-test completes successfully, the LED flashes three times and remains lit. When the card is configured and enabled in software, then the LED goes out. If the LED continues to flash or remains weakly lit, replace the card.

The trunk circuits on the card can operate in either A-Law or µ-Law companding modes. The mode of operation is set by service change entries. Figure 143 on page 632 shows a block diagram of the major functions contained on the E&M trunk card. Each of these functions is discussed on the following pages. Common features The following features are common to all circuits on the NT8D15 E&M Trunk card: • Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion of transmission signals. • Interfaces each of the four PCM signals to one DS30X timeslot in A10 format. • Transmit and receive SSD signaling messages over a DS30X signaling channel in A10 format. • Ability to enable and disable individual ports or the entire card under software control. • Provides outpulsing on the card. Make break ratios are defined in software and down loaded at power up and by software commands. • Provides indication of card status from self-test diagnostics on faceplate Light Emitting Diode (LED). • Supports loopback of PCM signals to DS30X for diagnostic purposes. • Card ID provided for auto configuration and determining serial number and firmware level of card. • Software controlled terminating impedance (600, 900, or 1200 ohm) two and four-wire modes. • Allows trunk type to be configured on a per port basis in software. • Software controlled 600 ohm balance impedance is provided. • Isolation of foreign potentials from transmission and signaling circuit.

Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 633 of 906 Card interfaces The E&M trunk card passes voice and signaling data over DS-30X loops and maintenance data over the card LAN link. The E&M trunk card contains four identical and independently configurable trunk interface units (also referred to as circuits). Each unit provides impedance matching and a balance network in a signal transformer/analog hybrid circuit. Also provided are relays for placing outgoing call signaling onto the trunk. Signal detection circuits monitor incoming call signaling. A CODEC performs A/D and D/A conversion of trunk analog voiceband signals to digital PCM signals. The four units on the card can operate in the A-Law or the µ-Law companding mode. The mode is selected by making service change entries. Each unit can be independently configured for 2-wire E&M, 4-wire E&M, and paging trunk types. The trunk type is selected by service change entries and jumper strap settings. All units on the card can perform the following features: • convert transmission signals from analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog • provide outpulsing on the card: make/break ratios are defined in software and downloaded at power-up and by software command • provide 600-ohms balance and termination impedance (2-wire configuration) • provide 600-ohms termination impedance (4-wire configuration) • provide pad control for 2-wire and 4-wire facility connections • enable trunk type and function to be configured on a per-port basis in software • provide isolation of foreign potentials from transmission and signaling circuit • provide software control of A-Law and µ-Law modes • support loopback of pulse code modulation (PCM) signals to DS-30X for diagnostic purposes Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 634 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Trunk circuit features Trunk unit functions The functions provided by each unit on the E&M trunk card include 2-wire signaling, 4-wire signaling, and paging operation as follows: • 2-wire, E&M Type I signaling (see Figure 144 on page 635) with: — near-end seizure and outpulsing with M lead — ground detection with E lead — voice transmission through tip and ring for transmit and receive • 4-wire, E&M Type I and II signaling (see Figure 145 on page 636), 2-way dial repeating with: — echo suppression for Type I signaling — switchable 7 dB and 16 dB pads for carrier interface — voice transmission and reception through two separate paths — Type I signaling through E&M leads — Type II signaling with near-end seizure by SB/M leads and far-end detection by E/SG lead • 4-wire, DX signaling (see Figure 146 on page 637) • paging trunk operation (see Figure 147 on page 638) with support access by low-resistance path at the PG/A1 leads Note: Paging end-to-end signaling is not supported. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 635 of 906 Figure 144 E&M Type I signaling E&M trunk card Ð 48V Ð 48V External signaling circuit E E M M 553-6258 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 636 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Figure 145 E&M Type II signaling SG SG P Ð 48V E E M M Ð 48V P SB SB Note: M, SB, E, and SG designations are Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industries Association (EIA/TIA) conventions.

(These may already be installed.) It is also recommended that a 6µF capacitor be connected in series with the balancing resistance. Note 4: If the external loop is >2500 Ohms, the loop adjustment resistors RA and RB are shorted out. If the external loop is <2500 Ohms, RA and RB are in the circuit. When the system is connected to another Meridian 1 or pulse and external loop resistance is <2500 Ohms, the loop adjustment resistors must be shorted in one machine. If the external loop is >2500 Ohms, the loop adjustment resistors must be shorted out in both machines. Note 3: Compute total balancing resistance as follows (note that in some new DX circuits, a 1260 Ohm resistor is permanently wired in series with the selectable resistance). Total balancing R = external loop resistance + 0.5 x T1 resistance + 0.5 x T2 resistance + [(RA + RD) if not shorted out] + Req. Resistance of transformers at electromechanical end is low and can be ignored. "External loop resistance" is defined as 1/2 the loop resistance of one cable pair. Note 2: T1 and T2 resistance is 47 Ohms for 600 Ohm termination option. Note 1: The equivalent bridge circuit resistance as seen from distant trunk during the signaling is 1250 ±125 Ohms.

Microcontroller The E&M trunk card contains a microcontroller that controls the internal operation of the card. The microcontroller provides the following functions: • card-identification • self-test • control of card operation • maintenance diagnostics Card LAN The card LAN provides a serial communication link for transferring maintenance data and control signals between the trunk card and the SSC card. The card LAN controls the microcontroller. The following functions are supported: • providing card ID/RLS • reporting self-test status • polling from the controller card • enabling/disabling of the DS-30X link Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 640 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Signaling interface All signaling messages for the trunk are three bytes long. The messages are transmitted in channel zero of the DS30X in A10 format. Configuration information for the E & M trunk is downloaded from the CPU at power up and by command from maintenance programs. Seven configuration messages are sent. One message is sent to each unit (4) to configure trunk type, signaling type, balance impedance etc. Three messages are sent per card to configure the make/break ratio, A/µ-Law operation. Signaling and control The signaling and control portion of the E&M trunk card works with the system CPU to operate the card hardware. The card receives messages from the CPU over a signaling channel in the DS-30X loop and returns status information to the CPU over the same channel. The signaling and control portion of the card provides analog loop terminations that establish, supervise, and take down call connections. Configuration information for the E&M trunk card is downloaded from the CPU at power-up and by command from maintenance programs. Configuration messages are sent. One message is sent to configure trunk and signaling type. The other messages are sent to each card to select the make/ break ratio and the A-Law and µ-Law modes. The signaling and control circuits on the card perform the following functions: • provide an interface between the card and the system CPU — transmit PCM signals from each of the four units to one DS-30X timeslot in A10 format (ready to send/clear to send—flow control, handshake format) — transmit and receive signaling messages over a DS-30X signaling channel in A10 format 553-3001-211 • decode received messages to set configuration and activate/deactivate interface relays for PCM loopback diagnostic purposes • decode outpulsing messages (one per digit) from the CPU to drive outpulsing relays at 20 pps, 10 pps1 (primary), or 10 pps2 (secondary) Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 641 of 906 • monitor signals from the trunk interface and generate a message when required for each state change • control disabling and enabling of unit or card • control A-Law and µ-Law operation modes • control transmission pad settings Maintenance features The following features are provided for maintenance of the E&M trunk: • indication of card status from self-test • software enable and disable capability for individual units or entire card • loopback of PCM signals to DS-30X for diagnostic purposes • card ID for autoconfiguration and determination of serial number and firmware level Operation The optional applications, features, and signaling arrangements for each unit on the E&M trunk card are assigned through the Trunk Administration LD 14 and Trunk Route LD 16 programs. Signaling and call control The information in this section describes the signaling and call control of E&M Type I and II trunks. The call is terminated and the trunk released by a disconnect message sent to the associated unit. Figure 148 on page 642 shows the trunk signaling orientation for a tandem connection between E&M and CO trunks. E&M Type I signaling Figure 149 on page 643 shows E&M Type I signaling patterns for incoming and outgoing calls. Figure 150 on page 644 shows Type I signaling patterns on a tandem connection where the originating end is senderized and the route is over a CO trunk (not applicable to CCSA).

Outgoing calls are processed as follows: • The M lead changes from ground to battery. — If answer supervision is provided by the far end, there is a change from open to ground on the E lead (ground detection). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 643 of 906 Figure 149 E&M Type I signaling patterns – originating party release Near end M lead Ground Near end seizes DT Dialing Open Far end disc Near end disc Ground Near end E lead Idle Battery Near end disc first Far end answers (no ans sup) Far end disc first Far end answers (ans sup) Outgoing calls from near end Near end M lead Ground Near end disc Open Far end disc Far end disc first Dialing Ground Near end E lead Idle Battery Near end disc first Far end seizes Near end ans (no ans sup) Near end answers (ans sup) Incoming calls to near end 553-6263 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 644 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Figure 150 E&M Type I signaling patterns – originating party release on a tandem connection Near end M lead Ground Battery Near end seizes Open Dial CO/ FX/WATS Go Stored office DN digits outpulsed after GO signal O/G tie trunk disc Far end disc Ground Near end E lead Idle Far end disc first O/G tie trunk disc first Stop Universal service provided by far end PBX if originating end is senderized Far end ans Outgoing calls from near end Near end M lead Ground Battery Open Dial CO/FX/WATS and office D Orig end disc CO/FX/WATS disc Orig end disc first Ground Near end E lead Idle No ans sup CO/FX/WATS ans CO/FX/WATS end disc first (ground start only)(ans sup) Pseudo-answer supervision provided approx. 150 ms after last dial pulse Near end stores office DN Near end may be arranged for IMM, DDL, or WNK Far end seizes Note: 553-3001-211 Incoming calls to near end IMM = Immediate start DDL = Delayed dial WNK = Wink start Standard 3.00 August 2005 Ð If ground start trunk, outpulse toward office after ground detection Ð If loop start trunk, outpulse toward office 1 sec later 553-6264 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 645 of 906 Incoming calls The far-end initiates calls as follows: • The ground is placed on the E lead in E&M signaling. • Dial pulses are subsequently applied from the far-end as ground open on the E lead. • If the far-end is equipped for sending, the system can operate in any mode (immediate start, delay dial, or wink start), as assigned on a start arrangement basis. See Table 197. — In immediate start mode, there is no start signal from the called office. The seizure signal (off hook supervisory state) from the far-end should be at least 150 ms. At the end of the seizure signal, the far-end can start pulsing after the standard delay (normally 70 ms minimum). — In delay dial mode, a 256–384 ms off hook/on hook signal is returned to the far-end immediately after receipt of the seizure signal. When the far-end detects the on hook signal (start signal), the far-end can start pulsing after the standard delay (normally 70 ms minimum). — In wink start mode, within a 128–256 ms period after receipt of the seizure signal from the far-end, the called office transmits a 250 ms, wink start, off hook/on hook signal to the calling office.

Type II signaling uses four leads: M, SB, E, and SG. Instead of changes of state between battery and ground (M signals) or open and ground (E signals), the trunk signals by closing the contacts between the lead pairs M and SB. Signals are received by detecting current flow between lead pairs E and SG. On incoming calls, the far end seizes the trunk by shorting the E and SG leads together. This transmits the ground from the SG lead to the E lead (in Type I signaling the ground to the E lead comes from the far-end). Dialing is done by opening and closing the E/SG contacts. Since the SB and M leads are also used as the ESCG and ESC leads, respectively, for echo suppression, echo suppressor control cannot be used with Type II signaling. Note: M, SB, E, and SG designations are Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industries Association (EIA/TIA) conventions. These leads are also known as MB, MA, EA, and EB, respectively. Release control Release control of a call made over a trunk is specified in LD 16. Disconnect supervision is specified for each trunk group independently. The two options available are EITHER or ORIGINATING party control. These can be specified for the end (near-end), or for the central office or other PBX end (far-end). Joint party control can also be specified for the far-end. Duplex signaling Duplex (DX) signaling makes use of the voice transmission leads for signaling as well as for voice transmission. For descriptive purposes, the lead pair Tip B/Ring B is designated the signaling pair. The other pair Tip A/Ring A conducts current in the opposite direction to balance the overall current flow between the near and far ends. During signaling, current flows through both Tip B and Ring B leads in the same direction. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 647 of 906 Figure 151 E&M Type II signaling patterns – originating party release Near end M/SB leads Open Near DT end seizes Dialing Open Far end disc Closed Near end EA/EB leads Idle Closed System end disc Near end disc first Far end answers (no ans sup) Far end disc first Far end answers (ans sup) Outgoing calls from system (near end) Near end M/SB leads Open Near end disc Open Far end disc Far end disc first Dialing Closed Near end EA/EB leads Idle Closed Near end disc first Far end seizes Near end ans (COS-no ans sup) Near end answers (COS-ans sup) Incoming calls to system (near end) 553-AAA1153 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 648 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Figure 152 E&M Type II signaling patterns – originating party release on a tandem connection Near end M/SB leads Open Closed Near end seizes Open Near end EA/EB leads Idle Dial CO/ FX/WATS Go Stored office DN digits outpulsed after GO signal O/G tie trunk disc Closed Far end disc Far end disc first O/G tie trunk disc first Stop Universal service provided by far end PBX if originating end is senderized Far end ans Outgoing calls from system (near end) Near end M/SB leads Open Closed Dial CO/FX/WATS and office DN Open Orig end disc CO/FX/WATS disc Orig end disc first Closed Near end EA/EB leads Idle COS-no ans sup CO/FX/WATS ans CO/FX/WATS end disc first (ground start only)(COS-ans sup) Pseudo-answer supervision provided approx. 150 ms after last dial pulse Near end stores office DN Local end may be arranged for IMM, DDL, or WNK Far end seizes Incoming calls to system (near end) Note: 553-3001-211 IMM = Immediate start DDL = Delayed dial WNK = Wink start Standard 3.00 August 2005 Ð If ground start trunk, outpulse toward office after ground detection Ð If loop start trunk, outpulse toward office 1 sec later 553-AAA1154 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 649 of 906 Table 198 and Table 199 show call-connection and take-down sequencing for DX signaling.

The companding mode is selected by making service change entries in Trunk Data Block (LD 14). Refer to Table 208 on page 660 to select the proper values for the trunk type being employed. Port-to-port loss configuration Loss parameters are selected on the E&M trunk card by a switchable pad controlled by CODEC emulation software. The pads settings are called “in” and “out.” Pad settings are determined by the three factors listed below (the first two are under direct user control; the third is controlled indirectly): • Class of Service is assigned in LD 14. • Facility termination is selected (2-wire or 4-wire) in LD 14 (the 2-wire setting provides 0.5 dB more loss in each direction of transmission for echo control). Note: Facilities associated with the Nortel Electronic Switched Network (ESN) are recommended to be 4-wire for optimum transmission; thus, the 4-wire setting is generally referred to as the ESN setting. However, the 4-wire setting is not restricted to networks using the ESN feature. Conversely, the 2-wire setting, often called non-ESN, can be used on certain trunks in an ESN environment. • Port-to-port connection loss is automatically set by software on the basis of the port type selected in LD 16; only the port type is set by the user. The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by the class of service assigned in LD 14. Transmission properties can be Via Net Loss (VNL) or non-Via Net Loss (non-VNL). The VNL class of service is assigned at the CLS prompt by typing VNL. The non-VNL class of service is assigned at the CLS prompt by typing TRC (Transmission Compensated) or NTC (Non-Transmission Compensated). Non-VNL trunks are assigned a TRC or NTC class of service to ensure stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul trunks, such as tie Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 662 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card trunks. The class of service determines the operation of the switchable pads contained in each unit. They are assigned as follows: • TRC for a 2-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than 2 dB, or for which impedance compensation is provided, or for a 4-wire non-VNL facility. • NTC for a 2-wire, non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB, or when impedance compensation is not provided. See Table 209 for the pad switching control for the various through connections and the actual port-to-port loss introduced for connections between the E&M trunk card and any other IPE port designated as Port B. Figure 155 on page 663 shows the pad switching orientation.

Refer to the Features and Services (553-3001-306) for information about assigning features and services to trunks. PAD switching The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by class-of-service (COS) assignments in the trunk data block (LD 14). The assignment may be non-Via Net Loss (non-VNL) or via Net Loss (VNL). To ensure stability and minimize echo when connecting to long-haul VNL (Tie) trunks, non-VNL trunks are assigned either Transmission Compensated (TRC) or Non-Transmission Compensated (NTC) class-of-service. The TRC and NTC COS options determine the operation of the switchable pads contained in the trunk circuits. They are assigned as follows: 553-3001-211 • TRC for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of greater than 2 dB or for which impedance compensation is provided, or for a four-wire non-VNL facility. • NTC for a two-wire non-VNL trunk facility with a loss of less than 2 dB or when impedance compensation is not provided.

These ports allow communication between the system and two external devices. The SDI paddle board is usually used to connect the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 system to the system administration and maintenance terminal. It can also be used to connect the system to a background terminal (used in the hotel/motel environment), a modem, or to the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) or Call Detail Recording (CDR) features. The SDI paddle board mounts to a special socket on the rear of the backplane of the following modules: • NT5D21 Core/Network module Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 668 of 906 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board • NT6D39 CPU/Network module • NT9D11 Core/Network module The SDI paddle board is compatible with all existing system software, but can only be used with the system options listed above. It does not support 20 mA current loop interface. Physical description The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is a printed circuit board measuring 31.12 by 12.7 cm (12.25 by 5.0 in.). See Figure 157 on page 669. Up to two paddle boards can be used in a system backplane for a total of four serial ports. Up to 12 other serial ports can be added by plugging standard serial cards into standard system slots. The two serial ports on each card are addressed as a pair of consecutive addresses (0 and 1, 2 and 3, up to 14 and 15). The front edge of the card has two serial port connectors, an Enable/Disable switch (ENB/DIS), and a red LED. The LED indicates that the card has been disabled. It is lit when the following occurs: 553-3001-211 • the ENB/DIS switch is set to disable • both ports are disabled in software • the ports are not configured in the configuration record Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Page 669 of 906 Figure 157 NT8D41AA SDI paddle board Option switches LED Enable/disable switch Port 1 connector (RS-232C) Backplane mating connectors Option switches Port 2 connector (RS-232C) Option switches 553-5979 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 670 of 906 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Functional description The NT8D41AA SDI paddle board has two asynchronous serial ports. These serial ports are connected to the I/O panel in the back of the shelf using special adapter cables. The serial ports can be used to connect the system to a terminal, a printer, a modem, or to an other system processor. The SDI paddle board contains two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/ Transmitters (UARTs) and the logic necessary to connect the UARTs to the system processor bus. See Figure 158. Other logic on the card includes two baud rate generators, two RS-232-C driver/receiver pairs, and the switches and logic needed to configure the UARTs.

Installing the paddle board into a socket in the network area of the backplane allows it to work when either of the system processors is active. Installing the paddle board into 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Page 671 of 906 a socket in the CPU area of the backplane allows it to work only when that CPU is active. The SDI paddle board is normally installed into a socket in the network area of the backplane. This allows it to be accessed by either of the system processors. This is necessary because the active CPU switches automatically each night at midnight, and whenever a fault occurs on the active CPU card. The SDI paddle board can also be installed into a socket in the CPU area of the backplane. This is done when performing maintenance or an upgrade on the system. The SDI paddle board is plugged into the CPU that is not the active system CPU. One of the serial ports on the SDI paddle board is then connected to a maintenance terminal and the CPU board is put into maintenance mode. Diagnostics can then be run from the maintenance terminal without having to stop the system. This is also used to perform a parallel reload of the system software without affecting the operation of the switch. Connector pin assignments The RS-232-C signals for port 1 are brought out on connector J1 and the RS-232-C signals for port 2 are brought out on connector J2. The pinouts of J1 and J2 are identical, so Table 211 can be used for both ports.

Note 2: In DCE mode the signals DTR and RTS are tied to +12 volts to signify that the port on the SDI paddle board is always ready to transmit and receive data. Configuring the SDI paddle board Configuring the SDI paddle board consists of setting these option switches for each serial port: • Port address • Baud rate • DTE/DCE/Fiber mode The SDI paddle board has seven option switches, SW 2–8. Figure 159 on page 676 identifies the location of option switches on the SDI paddle board. Instructions for setting these switches are in the section that follows. Once the board has been installed, the system software must be configured to recognize it. Instructions for doing this are found in “Software service changes” on page 677”. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Page 673 of 906 Option switch settings Address Address select switch SW4 and logic on the card always address the two UARTs using a pair of addresses: 0 and 1, 2 and 3 through 15 and 16.

This is done using the Configuration Record program LD 17. Instructions for running the Configuration Record program are found in Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311). Some of the prompts that are commonly used when running the Configuration Record program LD 17, are shown in “LD 17 – Serial port configuration parameters.” on page 677. These parameters must be set for each port if both ports are being used. LD 17 – Serial port configuration parameters.

Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 678 of 906 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Applications The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the switch to a variety of communication devices, printers, and peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to either of the card’s two serial ports. The standard application for the paddle board is to connect the switch to the system console. This can be either a direct connection if the console is located near the switch, or through a modem for remote maintenance. Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, configure the modem for the dumb mode of operation (Command Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the asynchronous port. The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C standard DB-25 connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to adapt the paddle board to a non-standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally located on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then used to connect the non-standard DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C standard DB-25 connector.

Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 692 of 906 NT8D41BA Quad Serial Data Interface Paddle Board Applications The NT8D41BA Quad Serial Data Interface paddle board is used to connect the switch to a variety of communication devices, printers, and peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to either of the card’s two serial ports. The standard application for the paddle board is to connect the switch to the system console. This can be either a direct connection if the console is located near the switch, or through a modem for remote maintenance. Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, configure the modem for the dumb mode of operation (Command Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the asynchronous port. The serial data interface connectors on the paddle board are not RS-232-C standard DB-25 connectors. The NT8D84AA interface cable is used to adapt the paddle board to a non-standard pinout DB-9 connector (normally located on the I/O panel). The NT8D93 cable is then used to connect the non-standard DB-9 connector to a peripheral that uses a RS-232-C standard DB-25 connector.

The NTAK09 provides 1.5Mb ISDN primary rate interface and digital trunk interface capability. The NTAK09 can be equipped with two daughterboards: the NTAK20 clock controller and the NTAK93/NTBK51 D-channel handler interface. You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion. Up to four digital trunk cards are supported in each MG 1000S. In North America, the NTAK09 can be replaced by the NTRB21 – TMDI (DTI/PRI/DCH) card, which is described in “NTRB21 DTI/PRI/DCH TMDI card” on page 825. Contact your system supplier or your Nortel representative to verify that this card is supported in your area. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 710 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card Physical description The DTI/PRI card uses a 9.5" by 12.5" multilayer printed circuit board with buried power and ground layers. The clock controller and D-channel daughterboards are fastened by standoffs and connectors. See Figure 164 on page 710.

The first five LEDs are associated with the NTAK09 card. The remaining two LEDs are associated with the clock controller and DCHI daughterboards. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card Page 711 of 906 The first five LEDs operate as follows: • During system power up, the LEDs are on. • When the self-test is in progress, the LEDs flash three times and then go into their appropriate states, as shown in Table 229. Table 229 NTAK09 LED states LED State Definition DIS On (Red) The NTAK09 circuit card is disabled. Off The NTAK09 is not in a disabled state. On (Green) The NTAK09 circuit card is in an active state. No alarm states exist, the card is not disabled, nor is it in a loopback state. Off An alarm state or loopback state exists, or the card has been disabled. See the other faceplate LEDs for more information. On (Red) A red-alarm state has been detected. Off No red alarm. On (Yellow) A yellow alarm state has been detected. Off No yellow alarm. On (Green) NTAK09 is in loop-back mode. Off NTAK09 is not in loop-back mode. ACT RED YEL LBK Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 712 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card NTAK09 DTI/PRI power on self-test When power is applied to the NTAK09 DTI/PRI circuit card, the card performs a self-test. The LEDs directly associated with the NTAK09 circuit card are DIS, ACT, RED, YEL, and LBK. The clock controller LED is also included in the power on self-test. Table 230 provides the state of the NTAK09 LEDs during the self-test procedure. Table 230 NTAK09 LED states during self-test Action LED State Power up system Top five LEDs light for eleven seconds Self-test in progress Top five LEDs go out for one second If the self-test passes, the top five LEDs flash on and off three times. If the self-test detects a partial failure, the top five LEDs flash on and off five times When the self-test is completed, the LEDs are set to their appropriate states NTAK20 power on self-test The clock controller daughterboard LED is the second LED from the bottom on the faceplate of the NTAK09 DTI/PRI card. When power is applied to the NTAK20 clock controller, the LED is initially off for two seconds. If the self-test passes, the LED turns red and flashes on and off twice. When the self-test is completed, the LED remains red until the clock controller is enabled. When enabled, the clock controller LED either turns green or flashes green. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card Page 713 of 906 NTAK93 self-test The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard LED is the bottom LED on the faceplate of the NTAK09 DTI/PRI card. The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard does not perform a self-test when power is applied to it. When power is applied, it turns red and remain steadily lit, indicating the DCH is disabled. When the DCH is enabled, the LED turns green and remains steadily lit. Self-tests of the NTAK93 daughterboard are invoked manually by commands in LD 96. DTI/PRI local self-test The local self-test, also called a local loopback test, checks speech path continuity, zero code suppression, remote alarm detection, and A & B bit signalling. This test is performed manually on a per-loop or per-channel basis. The local loopback test performs a local logical loopback and does not require any external loopback of the T1 signal. Restrictions and limitations The DCHI and DTI/PRI must be disabled before performing the self-test on the entire DTI/PRI card. Individual channels must be disabled before performing a self test on a particular channel. Power requirements The DTI/PRI obtains its power from the backplane, and draws less than 2 amps on +5 V, 50 mA on +12 V and 50 mA on –12 V. Foreign and surge voltage protection Lightning protectors must be installed between an external T1 carrier facility and the system. For public T1 facilities, this protection is provided by the local operating company. In a private T1 facility environment (a campus, for example), the NTAK92 protection assembly can be used. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 714 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card The NTAK09 circuit card conforms to safety and performance standards for foreign and surge voltage protection in an internal environment. Functional description NTAK09 provides the following features and functions: 553-3001-211 • configurable parameters, including A-Law and µ-Law operation, digital pads on a per channel basis, and Superframe or Extended Superframe formats • AMI or B8ZS line coding • 1.5 Mb Clock recovery and distribution of reference clocks • DG2 or FDL yellow alarm methods • card status and alarm indication with faceplate-mounted LEDs • automatic alarm monitoring and handling • Card-LAN for maintenance communication • loopback capabilities for both near-end and far-end • echo canceler interface • integrated trunk access (both D-channel and in-band A/B signaling can be mixed on the same PRI) • faceplate monitor jacks for T1 interface • configurable D-channel data rate with 64 Kbps, 56 Kbps or 64 Kbps inverted. • self-test Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card Page 715 of 906 Architecture Signaling interface The signaling interface performs an 8 Kbps signaling for all 24 channels and interfaces directly to the DS-30X link. Messages in both directions of transmission are three bytes long. Interconnection The interconnection to the carrier is by NTBK04 1.5 Mb carrier cable. The NTBK04 is twenty feet long. The NT8D97AX, a fifty-foot extension, is also available. Microprocessor The NTAK09 is equipped with bit-slice microprocessors that handle the following major tasks: • Task handler: also referred to as an executive, the task handler provides orderly per-channel task execution to maintain real-time task ordering constraints. • Transmit voice: inserts digital pads, manipulates transmit AB bits for DS1, and provides graceful entry into T-Link data mode when the data module connected to the DTI/PRI trunk is answering the call. • Receive voice: inserts digital pads and provides graceful entry into T-Link data mode when the data module connected to the DTI/PRI trunk is originating the call. • T-Link data: a set of transmit and receive vectored subroutines which provides T-Link protocol conversion to/from the DM-DM protocol. • Receive ABCD filtering: filters and debounces the receive ABCD bits and provides change of state information to the system. • Diagnostics • Self-test Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 716 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card Digital pad The digital pad is an EPROM whose address-input to data-output transfer function meets the characteristics of a digital attenuator. The digital pad accommodates both µ255-law and A-Law coding. There are 32 combinations each for µ255 to µ255, µ255 to A-Law, A-Law to µ255, and A-Law to A-Law. These values are selected to meet the EIA loss and level plan. See Table 231.

The data signals include receive data output, transmit data input, receive clock output, and transmit clock output. The receive and transmit clocks can vary slightly from each other as determined by the transmit and receive carrier clocks. Feature selection through software configuration for the D-channel includes: • 56 Kbps • 64 Kbps clear • 64 Kbps inverted (64 Kbps restricted) DCHI can be enabled and disabled independent of the PRI card, as long as the PRI card is inserted in its cabinet slot. The D-channel data link cannot be established however, unless the PRI loop is enabled. On the NTAK09 use switch 1 and position 1 to select either the D-channel feature or the DPNSS feature, as follows: • OFF = D-channel • ON = DPNSS (U.K.) DS-1 Carrier interface Transmitter The transmitter takes the binary data (dual unipolar) from the PCM transceiver and produces bipolar pulses for transmission to the external digital facility. The DS1 transmit equalizer enables the cabling distance to Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 718 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card extend from the card to the DSX-1 or LD-1. Equalizers are switch selectable through dip-switches. The settings are shown in Table 232.

Depending on the equipped state of the clock controller, the clock controller interface enables or disables the appropriate reference clock source, in conjunction with software. IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different Central Offices (COs), if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Clock rate converter The 1.5 Mb clock is generated by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). The PLL synchronizes the 1.5 Mb DS1 clock to the 2.56 Mb system clock through the common multiple of 8 kHz by using the main frame synchronization signal.

This circuit card includes an on-board clock controller that can be manually switched in or out of service. You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion. Up to four digital trunk cards are supported in each MG 1000S. IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different Central Offices (COs), if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 722 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Physical description The 2 Mb DTI pack uses a standard 9.5" by 12.5", multi-layer printed circuit board. The faceplate is 7/8” wide and contains six LEDs. The LEDs operate as follows: • After the card is plugged in, the LEDs (a-e) are turned on by the power-up circuit. The clock controller LED is independently controlled by its own microprocessor. • After initialization, the LEDs (a-e) flash three times (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off) and then individual LEDs will go into appropriate states, as shown in Table 234.

Power requirements The 2MB DTI obtains its power from the backplane. It draws less than 2 A on +5 V, 50 mA on +15 V and 50 mA on –15 V. Environment The NTAK10 card meets all applicable Nortel operating specifications. Functional description The NTAK10 provides the following features and functions: • a clock controller that can be switched in as an option • software-selectable A/µlaw operation • software-selectable digital pads on a per channel basis • frame alignment and multiframe alignment detection • frame and multiframe pattern generation • CRC-4 transmission and reception (software selectable) • card status and alarm indication with faceplate-mounted LEDs • Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) counting • outpulsing of digits on any of the ABCD bits • Card-LAN for maintenance communication Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 724 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card • per-channel and all-channel loopback capabilities for near-end and far-end • self-test • download of incoming ABCD validation times from software • warm SYSLOAD (TS16 AS16 transmitted) Applicability to France Features specific to DTI requirements for France are implemented in firmware, and are switch-accessed. These are: • transmission and reception of alarm indication signaling (AIS) in TS16 such as card disabled and warm SYSLOAD • France-specific PPM counting • decadic dialing • France-specific alarm report and error handling Architecture The main functional blocks of the NTAK10 card architecture include: • DS-30X interface • signaling interface • three microprocessors • digital pad • Card-LAN interface • carrier interface • clock controller interface DS-30X interface The NTAK10 card interfaces to one DS-30X bus which contains 32 byte-interleaved timeslots operating at 2.56 Mb. Each timeslot contains 10 bits in a 10 message format; eight are assigned to voice/data (64 Kbps), one to signaling (8 Kbps), and one is a data valid bit (8 Kbps). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 725 of 906 Transmit data To transmit data on the carrier, the incoming serial bit stream from the NTAK02 circuit card is converted to 8-bit parallel bytes. The signaling bits are extracted by the signaling interface circuitry. Digital Pad: The parallel data is presented to the pad PROM. The PROM contains pad values, idle code, and A/µ-law conversion. They can be set independently for incoming and outgoing voice on a per channel basis. Four conversion formats are provided: A-law to A-law, A-law to µ-law, µ-law to A-law, µ-law to µ-law. Each of these four formats has up to 32 unique pad values. The NTAK10 card provides the pad values of -10, -9, -8, -7, -6,-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 0.6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 dB (also idle and unassigned code). A negative pad is a positive gain. The pad PROM output is converted from parallel to serial format and passed on to a multiplexer, which passes PCM/data, TS0, and TS16 information. The FAS pattern is sent in even TS0s, while in odd TS0s alarm information is sent. The multiplexer output is fed to the carrier interface which can forward it to the carrier or perform per channel loopback. Receive data To receive data, PCM/Data from the carrier interface is converted from serial to parallel, is buffered, and is fed to the pad prom. It then sent onto the DS-30X interface, where signaling information from the signaling interface circuitry is multiplexed. DS-30X microprocessor The DS-30X is a utility processor, responsible for the following tasks: • controlling the DS-30X interface • receiving and decoding of messages and taking appropriate action • transmitting TS16 messages to the TS16 microprocessor • receiving TS16 messages from the TS16 microprocessor and passing these messages to the A07 • providing the 19.2 Kbps serial interface to the Card-LAN Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 726 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card • controlling LEDs • downloading Local Calling Areas (LCAs) • monitoring errors and alarms • detecting the change of state in TS0, and outputting TS0 data • counting bipolar violations, slips, PLL alarms, frame-alignment errors, and CRC-4 errors • monitoring the status of frame alignment and multiframe alignment • detecting and reporting of alarm indication signals (AIS) • updating of per channel loopback registers • controlling the far-end loopback and digroup loopback functions Signaling interface Interconnections The external connection is through a 50-pin MDF connector with the NTBK05 carrier cable A0394217. CEPT interface For the Conference of European Postal Communications (CEPT) interface, the connection to the external digital carrier is through the NT5K85 DTI cable assembly. It converts the 120 ohms D-connector to 75 ohms coaxial cable. The impedance is switch set. The switch-settings table at the end of this chapter describes the options. See Table 235. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 727 of 906 If a coaxial interface is required, use NT5K85 in conjunction with the NTBK05.

Timeslot 16 is used to transmit two types of signaling: supervisory and address. Incoming signal Functions of the NTAK10 with regard to incoming signaling include: • recognizing valid changes • determining which channels made the changes • collecting PPM • reporting changes to software Outgoing supervisory signals The desired ABCD bit pattern for a channel is output by the NTAK10, under the control of the system controller card. The bit pattern to be transmitted is held on the line for a minimum period of time. This time is specified in the same message and ensures that the signal is detected correctly at the far end. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 728 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card With the exception of the outpulsing signals and special signals, such as Denmark's Flash signal and Sweden's Parking signal, the minimum duration of any signal state is 100 ms. Some signal states can have a minimum duration time that is longer than 100 ms. Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) Periodic Pulse Monitoring (PPM) is used to collect toll charges on outgoing CO trunk calls. TS16 microprocessor The functions of this microprocessor include: • receiving signaling messages supplied by the DS-30X microprocessor, decoding these messages, and taking subsequent actions • transmitting messages to the DS-30X microprocessor • handling PPM • updating the TS16 select RAM and TS16 data RAM • providing outpulsing • receive data from the change-of-state microprocessor • transmitting AIS for CNET (France) application Change-of-state microprocessor The functions of this processor are: • detecting valid change of state in TS16 • when a valid change has been found, passing the new abcd bits to the TS16 microprocessor, along with five bits to indicate the associated channel Carrier interface Tx Direction The HDB3 encoded multiplexer output is sent to the output selector, which selects the PCM/Data output or the looped around far end data. The HDB3 is 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 729 of 906 converted from digital to AMI and sent to the carrier. A transformer provides isolation and impedance matching (75 ohms or 120 ohms). Rx Direction The AMI data of the carrier is converted to digital and fed to the input selector as well as the output selector for far end loopback. Clock recovery circuitry within the receiving device extracts the 2.0 MHz clock. This clock generates the frame and multiframe count and sends them to the clock controller as a reference. Clock controller interface The recovered clock from the external digital facility is provided to the clock controller through the backplane-to-clock controller interface. Depending upon the state of the clock controller (switched on or off), the clock controller interface, in conjunction with software, enables or disables the appropriate reference clock source. The clock-controller circuitry on NTAK10 is identical to that of the NTAK20. While several DTI/PRI packs can exist in one system, only one clock controller can be activated. All other DTI/PRI clock controllers must be switched off. IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different Central Offices (COs), if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Clocking modes The clock controller can operate in one of two modes: tracking or non-tracking (also known as free-run). Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 730 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Tracking mode There are two stages to clock controller tracking: • tracking a reference, and • locked onto a reference. When tracking a reference, the clock controller uses an algorithm to match its frequency to the frequency of the incoming clock. When the frequencies are very near to being matched, the clock controller is locked onto the reference. The clock controller will make small adjustments to its own frequency until both the incoming and system frequencies correspond. If the incoming clock reference is stable, the internal clock controller will track it, lock onto it, and match frequencies exactly. Occasionally, however, environmental circumstances will cause the external or internal clocks to drift. When this happens, the internal clock controller will briefly enter the tracking stage. The green LED will flash momentarily until the clock controller is locked onto the reference once again. If the incoming reference is unstable, the internal clock controller will continuously be in the tracking stage, with the LED flashing green all the time. This condition does not present a problem, rather, it shows that the clock controller is continually attempting to lock onto the signal. If slips are occurring, however, it means that there is a problem with the clock controller or the incoming line. Free-run (non-tracking) In free-run mode, the clock controller does not synchronize on any source, it provides its own internal clock to the system. This mode can be used when the CS 1000S, Cabinet system are used as a master clock source for other systems in the network. Free-run mode is undesirable if the CS 1000S, Cabinet system are intended to be a slave. It can occur, however, when both the primary and secondary clock sources are lost due to hardware faults or when invoked by using software commands. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 731 of 906 Clock controller functions and features The NTAK10 2MB DTI clock controller functions and features include: • phase-locking to a reference, generating the 10.24 Mhz system clock, and distributing it to the CPU through the backplane. Up to two references at a time can be accepted. • providing primary to secondary switchover and auto-recovery • preventing chatter • providing error burst detection and correction, holdover, and free running capabilities • complying with 2.0 Mb CCITT specifications • communicating with software • filtering jitter • making use of an algorithm to aid in detecting crystal aging and to qualify clocking information Reference switchover Switchover may occur in the case of reference degradation or reference failure. When performance of the reference degrades to a point where the system clock is no longer allowed to follow the timing signal, then the reference will be said to be out of specification. If the reference being used is out of specification and the other reference is still within specification, an automatic switchover is initiated without software intervention. If both references are out of specification, the clock controller provides holdover. Autorecovery and chatter If the software command “track to primary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the primary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the primary becomes out of specification, the clock controller automatically tracks to secondary provided that it is within specifications. On failure (both out of specification), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the secondary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 732 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card secondary, but switches over to the primary whenever the primary recovers. If the primary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the primary. If the software command “track to secondary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the secondary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the secondary becomes out of specification, the clock controller automatically tracks to primary provided that it is within specifications. On failure (both out of specification), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the primary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the primary, but switches over to the secondary whenever the secondary recovers. If the secondary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the secondary. A time-out mechanism prevents chatter due to repeated automatic switching between primary and secondary reference sources. Reference clock selection through software The 2MB DTI card has the necessary hardware for routing its reference to the appropriate line on the backplane. Software is responsible for the distribution of the secondary references and ensures that no contention is present on the REFCLK1 backplane line. Software designates the 2MB DTI card as a primary reference source to the clock controller. The secondary reference is obtained from another 2 Mbps DTI card, which is designated by a craft person. No other clocks originating from other 2MB DTI packs are used. The clock controller provides an external timing interface and is capable of accepting two signals as timing references. In this case, an external reference refers to an auxiliary timing source which is bridged from a traffic carrying signal. This is not intended to be a dedicated non-traffic bearing timing signal. The clock controller uses either the two external/auxiliary references or the 2MB DTI references. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 733 of 906 Reference clock interface The recovered clock derived from the facility is available on the MDF connector. The signals at these connectors conform to the electrical characteristics of the EIA RS-422 standard. Switch settings Various 2MB DTI switch options exist on the NTAK10. These are shown in Table 236.

Synchronization is accomplished with an NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard in each MG 1000S that contains a digital trunk card. The NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard mounts directly on the following cards: • NTAK09 1.5Mb DTI/PRI • NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI • NTRB21 DTI/PRI/DCH TMDI • NTBK22 MISP • NT6D70 SILC • NT6D71 UILC Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 736 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Note: The card is restricted to slots 1 through 3 in EMC- type cabinets (such as NAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx cabinets). It will not work in slots 4 through 10 in these cabinets. The NTAK20 clock controller card can support 1.5 Mb, 2.0 Mb, and 2.56 Mb clock recovery rates. IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. If an IP Expansion multi-cabinet system is equipped with digital trunk cards, it is mandatory that at least one trunk card is placed in the Main cabinet. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. The clock controller circuitry synchronizes the system to an external reference clock and generates and distributes the clock to the system. The system can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking master. The NTAK20AD version of the clock controller meets the AT&T Stratum 3 and Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BD version meets CCITT Stratum 4 specifications. The NTAK20 card performs the following functions: 553-3001-211 • phase lock to a reference, generation of the 10.24 Mhz system clock, and distribution of the clock to the CPU through the backplane • accept one primary and one secondary reference • primary-to-secondary switchover and auto-recovery • chatter prevention due to repeated switching • error-burst detection and correction, holdover, and free running capabilities • communication with software Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 737 of 906 • jitter filtering • use of an algorithm to detect crystal aging and qualify clocking information Clocking modes The clock controller can operate in one of two modes: tracking or non-tracking (also known as free-run). Tracking mode In tracking mode, one or more DTI/PRI cards supply a clock reference to the NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard. When operating in tracking mode, one DTI/PRI card is defined as the Primary Reference Source (PREF) for clock synchronization. The other DTI/PRI card is defined as the Secondary Reference Source (SREF). PREF and SREF are defined in LD 73. There are two stages to clock controller tracking: • tracking a reference • locking on to a reference When tracking a reference, the clock controller uses an algorithm to match its frequency to the frequency of the incoming clock. When the frequencies are almost matched, the clock controller locks on to the reference. The clock controller makes small adjustments to its own frequency until both the incoming and system frequencies correspond. If the incoming clock reference is stable, the internal clock controller tracks it, locks on to it, and matches frequencies exactly. Occasionally, environmental circumstances cause the external or internal clocks to vary. When this happens, the internal clock controller briefly enters the tracking stage. The green LED flashes until the clock controller is locked on to the reference again. If the incoming reference is unstable, the internal clock controller continuously tracks, and the LED continuously flashes green. This condition does not present a problem. It shows that the clock controller is continually attempting to lock onto the signal. If slips occur, there is a problem with the clock controller or the incoming line. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 738 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Free-run (non-tracking) In free-run mode, the clock controller does not synchronize on any outside source. Instead, it provides its own internal clock to the system. This mode can be used when the system acts as a master clock source for other systems in the network. Free-run mode is undesirable if the system is intended to be a slave to an external network clock. Free-run mode can occur when both the primary and secondary clock sources are lost due to hardware faults or invoked using software commands. Physical description Faceplate LEDs Each motherboard has five DTI/PRI LEDs and one clock controller LED. The clock controller LED is dual-color (red and green). The clock controller LED states are described in Table 237. Table 237 Faceplate LEDs 553-3001-211 State Definition On (Red) NTAK20 is equipped and disabled. On (Green) NTAK20 is equipped, enabled, and is either locked to a reference or is in free run mode. Flashing (Green) NTAK20 is equipped and is attempting to lock (tracking mode) to a reference. If the LED flashes continuously over an extended period of time, check the CC STAT in LD 60. If the CC is tracking this may be an acceptable state. Check for slips and related clock controller error conditions. If none exist, then this state is acceptable, and the flashing is identifying jitter on the reference. Off NTAK20 is not equipped. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 739 of 906 Functional description The main functional blocks of the NTAK20 architecture include: • phase difference detector circuit • digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL) • clock detection circuit • digital-to-analog converter • CPU MUX bus interface • signal conditioning drivers and buffers • sanity timer • microprocessor • CPU interface • external timing interface Phase difference detector circuit This circuit, under firmware control, enables a phase difference measurement to be taken between the reference entering the PLL and the system clock. The phase difference is used for making frequency measurements and evaluating input jitter and PLL performance. Digital phase lock loops The main digital PLL enables the clock controller to provide a system clock to the CPU. This clock is both phase and frequency locked to a known incoming reference. The hardware has a locking range of + 4.6 ppm for Stratum 3 and + 50 ppm for Stratum 4 (CCITT). A second PLL on the clock controller provides the means for monitoring another reference. Note that the error signal of this PLL is routed to the phase difference detector circuit so the microprocessor can process it. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 740 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard System clock specification and characteristics Since the accuracy requirements for CCITT and EIA Stratum 3 are different, it is necessary to have two TCVCXOs which feature different values of frequency tuning sensitivity. See Table 238. Table 238 System clock specification and characteristics Specifications CCITT EIA Base Frequency 20.48 MHz 20.48 MHz Accuracy + 3 ppm + 1 ppm Operating Temperature 0 to 70 C + 1 ppm 0 to 70 C + 1 ppm Drift Rate (Aging) + 1 ppm per year + 4 ppm in 20 years Tuning Range (minimum) + 60 ppm min. + 10 ppm min. + 90 ppm max. + 15 ppm max. 0 to 10 volts, 5V center 0 to 10 volts, 5V center Input Voltage Range EIA/CCITT compliance The clock controller complies with 1.5 Mb EIA Stratum 3ND, 2.0 Mb CCITT or 2.56 Mb basic rate. The differences between these requirements mainly affect PLL pull in range. Stratum 4 conforms to international markets (2.0 Mb) while Stratum 3 conforms to North American markets (1.5 Mb). Monitoring references The primary and secondary synchronization references are continuously monitored in order to provide autorecovery. Reference switchover Switchover occurs in the case of reference degradation or loss of signal. When performance of the reference degrades to a point where the system clock is no longer allowed to follow the timing signal, then the reference is out of specification. If the reference is out of specification and the other reference is still within specification, an automatic switchover is initiated 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 741 of 906 without software intervention. If both references are out of specification, the clock controller provides holdover. Autorecovery and chatter If the command “track to primary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the primary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the primary goes out of specification, the clock controller will automatically “track to secondary” if the secondary is within specifications. On failure (both out of specification), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the secondary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the secondary, then switches over to the primary when the primary recovers. If the primary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the primary and continues to do so even if the secondary recovers. If the command “track to secondary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the secondary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the secondary goes out of specification, the clock controller automatically tracks to primary provided that is within specifications. On failure (both out of specification), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the primary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the primary, but switches over to the secondary when the secondary recovers. If the secondary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the secondary even if the primary recovers. To prevent chatter due to repeated automatic switching between primary and secondary reference sources, a time-out mechanism of at least 10 seconds is implemented. Digital to analog converter The Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) enables the microprocessor to track, hold, and modify the error signal generated in the digital PLL. The firmware uses the available memory on the clock controller to provide error-burst detection and correction. Temporary holdover occurs in the momentary absence of the reference clock. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 742 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Holdover and free-run In the temporary absence of a synchronization reference signal, or when sudden changes occur on the incoming reference due to error bursts, the clock controller provides a stable holdover. Free-run mode is initiated when the clock controller has no record of the quality of the incoming reference clock. If the command “free run” is given, the clock controller enters the free-run mode and remains there until a new command is received. Free-run automatically initiates after the clock controller has been enabled. CPU-MUX bus interface A parallel I/O port on the clock controller provides a communication channel between the clock controller and the CPU. Signal conditioning Drivers and buffers are provided for all outgoing and incoming lines. Sanity timer The sanity timer resets the microprocessor in the event of system hang-up. Microprocessor The microprocessor does the following: • communicates with software • monitors two references • provides a self-test during initialization • minimizes the propagation of impairments on the system clock due to errors on the primary or secondary reference clocks Reference Clock Selection The DTI/PRI card routes its reference to the appropriate line on the backplane. The clock controller distributes the primary and secondary references and ensures that no contention is present on the REFCLK1 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 743 of 906 backplane line. It designates the DTI/PRI motherboard as a primary reference source. The secondary reference is obtained from another DTI/PRI card, which is designated by a technician. No other clock sources are used. External timing interface The clock controller provides an external timing interface and accepts two signals as timing references. An external reference is an auxiliary timing clock which is bridged from a traffic carrying signal and is not intended to be a dedicated non-traffic-bearing timing signal. The clock controller uses either the external/auxiliary references or the DTI/PRI references. Hardware integrity and regulatory environment The clock controller complies with the following hardware integrity and regulatory specifications: Item Specification EMI FCC part 15 sub- part J CSA C108.8 CISPR publication 22 ESD IEC 801-2 Temperature IEC 68-2-1 IEC 68-2-2 IEC 68-2-14 Humidity IEC 68-2-3 Vibration/Shock IEC 68-2-6 IEC 68-2-7 IEC 68-2-29 IEC 68-2-31 IEC 68-2-32 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 744 of 906 553-3001-211 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Standard 3.00 August 2005 762 Page 745 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 745 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 746 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 751 Architecture. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 752 Introduction The NTAK79 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface (PRI) card provides a 2.0 Mb interface and an onboard D-channel handler (DCH). The NTAK79 card also includes an onboard clock controller (equivalent to the NTAK20 Clock Controller) that can be manually switched into or out of service. The NTAK79 card does not support the NTBK51 downloadable D-channel handler daughterboard. You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion. Note: Up to three four trunk cards are supported in each MG 1000S. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 746 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different Central Offices (COs) if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Physical description The NTAK79 uses a standard 9.5" by 12.5" multi-layer printed circuit board. The faceplate is 7/8” wide. The NTAK79 circuit card has a total of seven faceplate LEDs. Five of the LEDs are directly associated with the operation of the Primary Rate interface (PRI). The remaining two LEDs are associated with the on-board Clock Controller and the on-board D-channel interface (DCHI). The LEDs are described in Table 239.

The tables that follow provide information on the various settings and related functions of these switches. Note: The ON position for all the switches is towards the bottom of the card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board adjacent to the bottom left corner of each individual switch. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 749 of 906 Figure 165 NTAK79 card with switch locations NTAK79 Faceplate Switch 3 1 2 LEDs Jack Switch 1 1 2 Switch 2 1 2 Switch 4 1 2 553-7869.EPS Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 750 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Switch SW1 – DCHI Configuration This switch enables/disables the on-board DCHI and sets the operating mode of the DCHI.

Power requirements The NTAK79 obtains its power from the backplane, drawing maximums of 2 A on +5 V, 50 mA on +12 V and 50 mA on –12 V. Environment The NTAK79 meets all applicable Nortel Network’s operating specifications. Functional description The NTAK79 card provides the following features and functions: • recovery of the 2.048 kbps data by the CEPT receiver, at signal levels which have been attenuated by up 10 dB • control of CEPT line density using HDB3 which provides 64 kbps clear channel • performance monitoring of the receive carrier by means of Bipolar Violations (BPV), Slips, CRC-4 (CRC), and Frame Bit Errors (FBER) Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 752 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card • monitoring of receive carrier alarms including AIS, LOS, and RAI • transmission of remote alarm when instructed • slip-buffering receive messages • supporting National and International bits in time slot 0 • on-board clock controller • onboard D-channel interface • 32 software-selectable Tx & Rx Pad values • conversion of PCM commanding Laws (A-A, u-u, A-u, u-A) • Card-LAN for maintenance communication Architecture The main functional blocks of the NTAK79 architecture include: • DS-30X interface • A07 signaling interface • digital pad • carrier interface • CEPT transceiver • SLIP control • D-channel support interface • 8031 microcontroller • Card-LAN / echo / test port interface DS-30X interface The NTAK79 interfaces to one DS-30X bus which contains 32 byte-interleaved timeslots operating at 2.56 Mb. Each timeslot contains 10 bits in A10 message format; eight are assigned to voice/data (64 kbps), one to signaling (8 kbps), and one is a data valid bit (8 kbps). 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 753 of 906 The incoming serial bit stream is converted to 8-bit parallel bytes to be directed to padding control. The signaling bits are extracted and inserted by the A07 signaling interface circuitry. The DS-30X timeslot number is mapped to the PCM-30 channel number. Timeslots 0 and 16 are currently unused for PCM. Digital PAD Software selects A-Law or Mu-Law and one of 32 possible PAD values for each channel. These values are provided in a PROM through which the data is routed. The idle code for A-Law is 54H and for Mu-Law is 7FH. The unequipped code is FFH for both A-Law and Mu-Law. As the idle code and unequipped code can be country dependent, the software instructs the NTAK79 to use different codes for each direction. The 32 digital pads available are listed in Table 244. The values shown are attenuation levels; 1.0 dB is 1 dB of loss and –1.0 dB is 1 dB of gain.

This interface provides an 8 Kbps signaling link through the DS-30X timeslot zero data bit zero. Messages are 3 bytes in length. Carrier interface The E1 interface connection to the external digital carrier is provided by the line interface chip. This chip provides accurate pulse shaping to meet the CCITT pulse mask requirements. It provides clock recovery functions on the receive side as well as tolerance to jitter and wander in the received bit stream. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 755 of 906 Impedance matching The line interface provides for the use of either 75 ohms coaxial or 120 ohms twisted pair cable. The impedance is selected by a switch, as shown in Table 245. Table 245 Impedance matching switch selection Cable On Off 75 ohms S2 S1 120 ohms S1 S2 Note: The ON position for all the switches is towards the bottom of the card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board next to the bottom left corner of each individual switch. Carrier grounding The NTAK79 card provides the capability of selectively grounding the shield of the Tx and/or Rx pairs of the carrier. Closing (down) the on-board switch applies FGND to the appropriate carrier cable shield. The switch settings are shown in Table 246. Table 246 Carrier shield grounding switch settings Switch Carrier Pair On Off S4-1 Rx shield Open GND S4-2 Tx shield Open GND Receiver functions The receiver extracts data and clock from an AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) coded signal and outputs clock and synchronized data. The receiver is sensitive to signals over the entire range of cable lengths and requires no equalization. The clock and data recovery meets or exceeds the jitter specifications of the CCITT recommendation G.823, and the jitter attenuation Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 756 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card requirements of the CCITT recommendation G.742. This provides jitter attenuation increasing from 0 dB to 60 dB over the frequency range from about 6 Hz to 6 KHz. Transmitter functions The transmitter takes the binary (dual unipolar) data from the PCM transceiver and produces bipolar pulses which conform to the CCITT recommendation G.703 pulse shape. Loopbacks The remote loopback function causes the device to transmit the same data that it receives, using the jitter attenuated receive clock. The data is also available at the receive data outputs. Local loopback causes the transmit data and clock to appear at the receive clock and data outputs. This data is also transmitted on the line unless transmit AIS is selected. CEPT transceiver The transmitter and receiver functions are used for synchronization, channel, and signal extraction. The functions meet applicable specifications of the CCITT recommendation G.703 and G.732. The transceiver provides transmit framing based on the 2.048 MHz clock derived from the DS-30X system clock and 1 KHz framing pulse. Slip control Slip control provides organized recovery of PCM when the clock recovered from the external facility is at a different frequency than the local clock. D-channel support interface The D-channel support interface is a 64 Kbps, full-duplex serial bit stream configured as a DCE device. The data signals include: 553-3001-211 • Receive data output • transmit data input Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card • receive clock output • transmit clock output Page 757 of 906 The receive and transmit clocks have slightly different bit rates from each other, as determined by the transmit and receive carrier clocks. The NTAK79 has an onboard D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI). It is the equivalent to a single port of an NTAK02 SDI/DCH pack. This enables for a completely operational ISDN PRA link with clock synchronization and D-channel on a single circuit card. The onboard D-channel has one status LED on the NTAK79 faceplate to indicate enabled/disabled states. See Table 239 on page 746. The on-board DCHI can be operated in two separate modes as defined by an on-board dip switch. It can operate in a standard DCHI mode common to most ISDN standard countries. The U.K. specific mode that uses the DPNSS format is not supported at this time. Table 247 Settings for the DCHI dip switch (SW1) Switch Function On Off S1-1 En/Dis Enabled Disabled S1-2 F/W Mode DPNSS (not supported at this time) DCHI DCHI special applications connection The connection between the PRI2 and the on-board D-channel Handler Interface card is also available at the MDF connector. Connections are made to these pins for normal on-board DCHI operation. They can also be used for future or special applications. The signals conform to the EIA RS-422 standard. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 758 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Card-LAN interface A Dual Port UART handles the functions of the serial ports for the Card-LAN serial link and the echo canceller/test port interface. The echo/test interface is an asynchronous 4800 bps 8-bit connected to port A of the UART. The Card-LAN interface is an asynchronous 19.2 kbps 9 bit start/stop connected to port B of the UART. The connection to the echo canceler/test port is available at the backplane/ MDF connector. The signals at this port conform to the EIA RS-232C standard. Clock controller interface The clock controller circuitry on the NTAK79 is identical to that of the NTAK20 clock controller. Though several DTI/PRI packs can exist in one system, only one clock controller may be activated. All other DTI/PRI clock controllers must be switched off. Clocking modes The clock controller can operate in one of two modes: • tracking • non-tracking (also known as free-run) Tracking mode There are two stages to clock controller tracking: • tracking a reference, and • locked onto a reference. When tracking a reference, the clock controller uses an algorithm to match its frequency to the frequency of the incoming clock. When the frequencies are very near to being matched, the clock controller is locked onto the reference. The clock controller will make small adjustments to its own frequency until both the incoming and system frequencies correspond. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 759 of 906 If the incoming clock reference is stable, the internal clock controller will track it, lock onto it, and match frequencies exactly. Occasionally, however, environmental circumstances will cause the external or internal clocks to drift. When this happens, the internal clock controller will briefly enter the tracking stage. The green LED will flash momentarily until the clock controller is locked onto the reference once again. If the incoming reference is unstable, the internal clock controller will continuously be in the tracking stage, with the LED flashing green all the time. This condition does not present a problem, rather, it shows that the clock controller is continually attempting to lock onto the signal. If slips are occurring, however, it means that there is a problem with the clock controller or the incoming line. Free-run (non-tracking) In free-run mode, the clock controller does not synchronize on any source, it provides its own internal clock to the system. This mode can be used when the CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet are used as a master clock source for other systems in the network. Free-run mode is undesirable if the CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet are intended to be a slave. It can occur, however, when both the primary and secondary clock sources are lost due to hardware faults or when invoked by using software commands. Clock controller functions and features The NTAK79 clock controller functions and features include: • phase lock to a reference, generate the 10.24 MHz system clock, and distribute it to the CPU through the backplane. Up to two references at a time are accepted • primary to secondary switchover (auto-recovery is provided) • prevent chatter • error burst detection and correction, holdover, and free running capabilities • compliance with 2.0Mb CCITT specifications • software communication Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 760 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card • jitter filtering • use of an algorithm to detect crystal aging and to qualify clocking information Reference switchover Switchover may occur in the case of reference degradation or reference failure. When performance of the reference degrades to a point where the system clock is no longer allowed to follow the timing signal, then the reference will be said to be out of specification. If the reference being used is out of specification and the other reference is still within specification, an automatic switchover is initiated without software intervention. If both references are out of specification, the clock controller provides holdover. Autorecovery and chatter If the software command “track to primary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the primary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the primary becomes out of specification, the clock controller automatically tracks to secondary provided that it is within specifications. On failure (both out of specification), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the secondary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the secondary, but switches over to the primary when the primary recovers. If the primary recovers first, the clock controller tracks to the primary. If the software command “track to secondary” is given, the clock controller tracks to the secondary reference and continuously monitors the quality of both primary and secondary references. If the secondary becomes out of specification, the clock controller automatically tracks to primary provided that it is within specifications. On failure (both out of spec.), the clock controller enters the HOLDOVER mode and continuously monitors both references. An automatic switchover is initiated to the reference that recovers first. If the primary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the primary, but switches over to the secondary whenever the secondary recovers. If the secondary recovers first, then the clock controller tracks to the secondary. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 761 of 906 A time-out mechanism prevents chatter due to repeated automatic switching between primary and secondary reference sources. Holdover and free-run In the temporary absence of a synchronization reference signal, or when sudden changes occur on the incoming reference due to error bursts, the clock controller provides a stable holdover. The free-run mode is initiated when the clock controller has no record of the quality of the incoming reference clock. If the software command “free run” is given, the clock controller enters the free-run mode and remains there until a new command is received. Note that the free-run mode of operation is automatically initiated after the clock controller is enabled. Reference clock selection through software The NTAK79 has the necessary hardware for routing its reference to the appropriate line on the backplane. The software is responsible for the distribution of the secondary references and ensures that no contention is present on the REFCLK1 backplane line. The software designates the NTAK79 as the primary reference source to the clock controller. The secondary reference is obtained from another NTAK79 card, which is designated by a technician. No other clocks originating from other NTAK79 circuit cards are used. The clock controller provides an external timing interface and is capable of accepting two signals as timing references. In this case, an external reference refers to an auxiliary timing source which is bridged from a traffic carrying signal. This is not intended to be a dedicated non-traffic bearing timing signal. The clock controller uses either the two external/auxiliary references or the NTAK79 references.

The DCHI performs D-channel Layer 2 message processing and transfers Layer 3 signaling information between two adjacent network switches. It is mounted on the NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card or the NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card (installed in the MG 1000S) using standoff reference pins and connectors. The NTAK93 daughterboard, when mounted on the NTBK50 PRI digital trunk card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50. The NTAK93 daughterboard can use SDI I/O addresses 1 to 15 and port 1. The NTAK93 provides the following features and functions: • D-channel interface or DPNSS interface • Special features included for LAPD implementation at DCH: Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 764 of 906 NTAK93 D-channel Handler Interface daughterboard — system parameters are service changeable (system parameters are downloaded from software) — incoming Layer 3 message validation procedures are implemented in the D-PORT firmware — supported message units and information elements can be service changed — translation of the CCITT message types information elements into a proprietary coding scheme for faster CPU operation — convention of IA5-encoded digits to BCD-encoded digits for incoming layer 3 messages for faster CPU operation — self-test — loopback Physical description The DCH function can be installed in the main and IP expansion cabinets.

On (Green) NTAK93 is equipped and enabled, but not necessarily established. Off NTAK93 is not equipped. Power consumption Power consumption is +5 V at 750 mA; +12 V at 5 mA; and –12 V at 5 mA. Functional description The main functional blocks of the NTAK93 architecture include the following. Microprocessors One microprocessor does the following: • handles data transfer between each pair of serial ports and software • reports the status of each port • takes commands from software to control the activities of the ports The microprocessors also handle some D-channel data processing in DCHI mode. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 766 of 906 NTAK93 D-channel Handler Interface daughterboard DMA controller A Z80A-DMA chip controls the data transfer between local RAM memory and communication ports. The DMA channels are only used in the receive direction (from line to SSC), not in the transmit direction. Random Access Memory (RAM) A total of 32 KBytes of RAM space for each pair of ports is used as the communication buffer and for firmware data storage. Read Only Memory (ROM) A total of 32K bytes of ROM space for each pair of ports is reserved as a code section of the DCH-PORT firmware. LAPD data link/asynchronous controller One chip controls each pair of independent communication ports. It performs the functions of serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversions, error detection, and frame recognition (in HDLC). The parameters of these functions are supplied by the DCH-PORT firmware. Counter/timer controller Two chips are used as real-time timers and baud-rate generators for each pair of communication ports. Software interface circuit This portion of the circuit handles address/data bus multiplexing, the interchange of data, commands, and status between the on board processors and software. It includes transmit buffer, receive buffer, command register, and status register for each communication channel. DPNSS/DCHI Port The mode of operation of the DCH-PORT is controlled by a switch setting on the NTAK09/NTBK50. For DPNSS the switch is ON; for DCHI it is OFF. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTAK93 D-channel Handler Interface daughterboard Page 767 of 906 The port will operate at: Data Rate Duplex Clock Interface 56kbps, 64kbps Full Internal / External RS422 The address of ports is selected by hardwired backplane card address. Port characteristics and LAPD parameters are downloaded from software. D-Port — SDTI/PRI interface Below is a brief description of signals. When connected to SDTI/PRI, DCHI-PORT is considered Data Terminal Equipment (DTE): • SDA, SDB: Transmit Clock provided by SDTI/PRI • RTA, RTB: Receive Clock provided by SDTI/PRI • RR, CS: SPDC ready signal provided by DCHI-PORT • TR: D-PORT ready signal provided by DCHI-PORT • RDA, RDB: Incoming serial data bit stream, driven by SDTI/PRI • SDA, SDB: Transmit serial data bit stream driven by DCHI-PORT Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 768 of 906 553-3001-211 NTAK93 D-channel Handler Interface daughterboard Standard 3.00 August 2005 772 Page 769 of 906 NTBK22 MISP card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 769 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 769 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 770 Introduction The NTBK22 Multi-Purpose ISDN Signaling Processor (MISP) card is a microprocessor-controlled signaling processor that performs Data Link (Layer 2) and Network (Layer 3) processing associated with ISDN BRI and the OSI protocol. Physical description The MISP occupies one slot in the MG 1000S. It uses one of the network loops to interface with SILCs and UILCs and to provide 32 timeslots for D-channel signaling and packet data transmission. The other loop address is used to communicate with the Call Server. You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion. Note: When configuring BRI trunks, the MISP (NTBK22) card must be co-located in the same MG 1000S as the SILC (NT6D70) and UILC (NT6D71) cards the MISP is supporting. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 770 of 906 NTBK22 MISP card Refer to ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Installation and Configuration (553-3001-218) and ISDN Basic Rate Interface: Features (553-3001-380) for additional information. Functional description Each MISP can support 4 line cards (UILC or SILC or any combination of the two). Each line card supports 8 DSLs, therefore each MISP supports 32 DSLs. Since each DSL uses two B-channels and one D-channel the MISP supports 64 B-channels and 32 D-channels. If the MISP is carrying packet data, it must dedicate one of its D-channels to communicate with the external packet handler. In this case the MISP supports only 31 DSLs. The main functions of the MISP are: • communicate with the Call Server CPU to report ISDN BRI status and receive downloaded application software and configuration parameters • manage Layer 2 and Layer 3 signaling that controls call connection and terminal identification • control terminal initialization and addressing • assign B-channels for switched voice and data transmission by communicating with the BRI terminal over the D-channel and allocating to it an idle B-channel with appropriate bearer capabilities • separate D-channel data from signaling information and route the data to the packet handler • send call control messages to ISDN BRI terminals over the D-channel Micro Processing Unit (MPU) The MPU coordinates and controls data transfer and addressing of the peripheral devices and communicates with the CPU using a message channel on the CPU bus. The tasks that the MPU performs depend on the interrupts it receives. The interrupts are prioritized by the importance of the tasks they control. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK22 MISP card Page 771 of 906 High-Level Data Link Controller (HDLC) The HDLC is a format converter that supports up to 32 serial channels that communicate at speeds up to 64 kbps. The HDLC converts messages into the following two message formats: • a serially transmitted, zero-inserted, CRC protected message that has a starting and an ending flag • a data structure CPU to MISP bus interface Information exchange between the CPU and the MISP is performed with packetized messages transmitted over the CPU bus. This interface has a 16-bit data bus, an 18-bit address bus, and interrupt and read/write control lines. This interface uses shared Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) as a communication exchange center between the CPU and the MPU. Both the CPU and the MPU can access this memory over the transmit and receive channels on the bus. MISP network bus interface The network bus interface: • converts bit interleaved serial data received from the network bus into byte interleaved data for transmission over the 32 time slots used by the HDLC controller • accepts byte interleaved data transmitted from the HDLC controller and converts it into a bit interleaved data stream for transmission over the network bus Power consumption Power consumption is +5V at 2 A; +15V at 50 mA; and -15V at 50 mA.

It supports the NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard and either the NTAK93 D-channel interface or the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel handler. The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard provides identical performance to the on-board NTAK79 DCHI. The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard provides support for protocols based on the MSDL platform. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 774 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion. IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different Central Offices (COs), if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Physical description The NTBK50 uses a standard 9.5" by 12.5" multi-layer printed circuit board. The faceplate is 7/8” wide and contains seven LEDs. See Figure 166 on page 775. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 775 of 906 Figure 166 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card with daughterboards Stiffeners NTAK20 Clock Controller Connector Sockets LEDs DIS ACT 1 2 RED YEL LBK SW1 On Off CC DCH 1 2 Bantam Jacks n SW4 O Off RCV 1 2 SW2 On Off NTAK93 or NTBK51 D-Channel Interface XMT 553-7872 Standoffs 553-CSE7872 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 776 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card The LEDs are described in Table 249.

Power requirements The NTBK50 obtains its power from the backplane, drawing up to 2 A on +5 V, 35 mA on +15 V and 20 mA on –15 V. Environment The NTBK50 meets all applicable Nortel operating specifications. Functional description NTBK50 provides the following features and components: • recovery of the 2.048 kbps data by the CEPT receiver, at signal levels which have been attenuated by up to 10 dB • control of CEPT line density using HDB3 which provides 64 kbps clear channel • performance monitoring of the receive carrier by means of Bipolar Violations (BPV), Slips, CRC-4 (CRC), and Frame Bit Errors (FBER) Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 778 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card • monitoring of receive carrier alarms including AIS, LOS, and RAI • transmission of remote alarm when instructed • slip-buffering receive messages • support of National and International bits in timeslot 0 • clock controller daughterboard • D-channel interface daughterboard • downloadable D-channel handler daughterboard • 32 software-selectable Tx and Rx Pad values • conversion of PCM commanding Laws (A-A, u-u, A-u, u-A) • Card-LAN for maintenance communication Architecture The main functional blocks of the NTBK50 architecture are: • DS-30X interface • A07 signaling interface • digital pad • carrier interface • CEPT transceiver • SLIP control • D-channel support interface • clock controller interface • Card-LAN / echo / test port interface • 80C51FA Microcontroller DS-30X interface NTBK50 interfaces to one DS-30X bus which contains 32-byte interleaved timeslots operating at 2.56 Mb. Each timeslot contains 10 bits in A10 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 779 of 906 message format; eight are assigned to voice/data (64 Kbps), one to signaling (8 Kbps), and one is a data valid bit (8 Kbps). The incoming serial bit stream is converted to 8-bit parallel bytes to be directed to padding control. The signaling bits are extracted and inserted by the A07 signaling interface circuitry. Timeslots 0 and 16 are currently unused for PCM. Digital PAD The software selects A-Law or µ-Law and one of 32 possible PAD values for each channel. These values are provided in a PROM through which the data is routed. The idle code for A-Law is 54H and for µ-Law is 7FH. The unequipped code is FFH for both A-Law and µ-Law. As the idle code and unequipped code can be country dependent, the software instructs the NTBK50 to use different codes for each direction. The 32 digital pads available are illustrated in Table 250 on page 779. The values shown are attenuation levels (1.0dB is 1 dB of loss and –1.0 dB is 1 dB of gain.

This interface provides an 8 Kbps signaling link via the DS-30X timeslot zero data bit zero. Messages are 3 bytes in length. Carrier interface For the E1 interface, the connection to the external digital carrier is provided by the line interface chip. This device provides accurate pulse shaping to meet the CCITT pulse mask requirements. It provides clock recovery functions on the receive side, as well as tolerance to jitter and wander in the received bit stream. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 781 of 906 Impedance matching (Switch SW2) The line interface provides for the use of either 75 ohms coaxial or 120 ohms twisted pair cable. The impedance is selected by SW2, as shown in Table 251. Table 251 Impedance matching switch settings Cable Type SW 2-1 75 ohms Down (On) 120 ohms Up (Off) Note: The ON position for all the switches is toward the bottom of the card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board next to the bottom left corner of each individual switch. Carrier grounding NTBK50 enables the shield of the Tx and/or Rx pairs of the carrier to be selectively grounded. Closing (down position) the on-board switch applies FGND to the appropriate carrier cable shield. The switch settings are shown in Table 252. Table 252 Carrier Shield grounding switch settings Switch Down (On) Up (Off) SW 4 – 1 Rx – FGND Rx – OPEN SW 4 – 2 Tx – FGND Tx – OPEN Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 782 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Carrier Shield grounding (Switch SW4) Table 253 lists the Carrier Shield ground switch settings. Table 253 Carrier Shield grounding switch settings Switch Down (On) Up (Off) SW 4 – 1 Rx – FGND Rx – OPEN SW 4 – 2 Tx – FGND Tx – OPEN Note: The usual method is to ground the outer conductor of the receive coax signal. Receiver functions The receiver extracts data and clock from an AMI (Alternate Mark Inversion) coded signal and outputs clock and synchronized data. The receiver is sensitive to signals over the entire range of cable lengths and requires no equalization. The clock and data recovery meets or exceeds the jitter specifications of the CCITT recommendation G.823 and the jitter attenuation requirements of the CCITT recommendation G.742. This provides jitter attenuation increasing from 0 dB to 60 dB over the frequency range from about 6 Hz to 6 KHz. Transmitter functions The transmitter takes the binary (dual unipolar) data from the PCM transceiver and produces bipolar pulses. This conforms to CCITT recommendation G.703 pulse shape. Loopbacks The remote loopback function causes the far-end device to transmit the same data that it receives, using the jitter attenuated receive clock. The data is additionally available at the far-end receive data outputs. Local loopback causes the transmit data and clock to appear at the near-end clock and receive data outputs. This data is also transmitted on the line unless an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) is transmitted instead. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 783 of 906 CEPT transceiver The transmitter and receiver functions are used for synchronization, channel, and signal extraction. The functions meet applicable specifications of the CCITT recommendation G.703 and G.732. The transceiver provides transmit framing based on the 2.048 MHz clock derived from the DS-30X system clock and 1 KHz framing pulse. Slip control Slip control provides organized recovery of PCM when the clock recovered from the external facility is at a different frequency with respect to the local clock. D-channel support interface The D-channel support interface is a 64 Kbps, full-duplex serial bit stream configured as a DCE device. The data signals include: • receive data output • transmit data input • receive clock output • transmit clock output The receive and transmit clocks can be of slightly different bit rates from each other as determined by the transmit and receive carrier clocks. The NTBK50 supports a D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI) daughterboard. It is equivalent to a single port of an NTAK02 SDI/DCH card. The NTBK50 also supports a Downloadable D-Channel Handler interface (DDCH) daughterboard. The DDCH brings MSDL D-channel capability to the system. DCHI Configuration for NTAK93 only (SW1) The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard can be operated in two separate modes defined by an on-board dip switch. It can operate in a standard DCHI mode common to most ISDN standard countries. It can also operate in a DPNSS Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 784 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card mode, which is not supported at this time. The DDCH supports only a single port which directly interfaces to the PRI motherboard. See Table 254. Table 254 Settings for the DCHI dip switch (SW1) Switch Function On Off S1-1 — — — S1-2 F/W Mode DPNSS DCHI Card-LAN interface A Dual Port UART handles the functions of the serial ports for the Card-LAN serial link test port interface. The test interface is an asynchronous 4800 bps 8 bit connected to port A of the UART. The card-LAN interface is an asynchronous 19.2 kbps 9 bit start/stop connected to port B of the UART. The connection to the test port is available at the backplane/MDF connector. The signals at this port conform to the EIA RS-232C standard. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 790 Page 785 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 785 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 786 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 787 Download operation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 789 Introduction The NTBK51 daughterboard provides Downloadable D-channel Handler (DDCH) interfaces based on the Multipurpose Serial Data Link (MSDL). The DDCH provides a single purpose full-duplex serial port capable of downloading the D-channel application and base software into the card. The NTBK51 provides the following features and functions: • ISDN D-channel related protocol • Selftest • Loopback • D-channel loadware including: — management and maintenance — LAPD- software for data link layer processing Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 786 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard — DCH interface — layer 3 preprocessor — traffic reporting including link capacity Physical description The NTBK51 daughterboard interfaces with the system CPU and is mounted on either the NTAK09 1.5 DTI/PRI card or the NTBK50 2 Mb PRI digital trunk card. You can install this card in: • slots 1 through 9 in the main cabinet or slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, or 41-49 in the expansion cabinets • slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S. The card is not supported in the MG 1000S Expansion The NTBK51 daughterboard, when installed on the NTAK09 digital trunk card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTAK09. One NTBK51 daughterboard is required for each PRI link. LEDs are located on the faceplate of the NTAK09/NTBK50 card. The DCHI LED is a dual-color (red/green). The LED is described in Table 255. Table 255 Faceplate LED 553-3001-211 State Definition On (Red) NTBK51 is disabled. On (Green) NTBK51 is enabled, but not necessarily established. Off NTBK51 is not equipped. Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard Page 787 of 906 Functional description The main functional blocks of the NTBK51 architecture include the following: • Microprocessors • Main memory • Shared memory • EPROM memory • Flash EPROM memory • EEPROM memory • Serial communication controller • Sanity timer • Bus timer Microprocessors One microprocessor handles data transfer between each serial interface and software, reports the status of each port and takes commands from the software to control the activities of the ports. A high performance MPU supports the D-channel from the PRI card and other software applications running simultaneously on other ports of the DDCH card. The microprocessor performs the following functions: • sanity check and self tests • message handling between the CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet and the card • four port serial communication controller handling with Direct Memory Access (DMA) • program download from the Small System Controller Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 788 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard Main memory The main 68EC020 system memory is comprised of 1 Mbyte of SRAM and is accessible in 8 or 16 bits. The software, base code and application reside in main RAM and is downloaded from the software through the shared memory. Shared memory The shared memory is the interface between the CPU and the 68EC020 MPU. This memory is a 16 Kbyte RAM, expandable to 64 kbytes and accessible in 8 or 16 bits. EPROM memory The Bootstrap code resides in this 27C1000 EPROM and is executed on power up or reset. Flash EPROM memory Flash EPROM provides non-volatile storage for the DDCH loadware which minimizes the impact to sysload. The Flash EPROM provides an increase in system service with a reduced delay after a brown-out, and faster testing of a hardware pack after it is plugged in. EEPROM memory The DDCH uses a 1024 bit serial EEPROM for storing the Nortel product code and a revision level. This information can be queried by the software. Serial communication controller The serial controller is the Zilog Z16C35 and is referenced as the Integrated Controller (ISCC). The ISCC includes a flexible Bus Interface Unit (BIU) and four Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels, one for each receive and transmit. The DMA core of the ISCC controls the data transfer between local RAM and the communication ports. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard Page 789 of 906 Sanity timer A sanity timer is incorporated on the DDCH to prevent the MPU from getting tied-up as the result of a hardware or software fault. If the MPU encounters a hardware or software fault and enters a continuous loop, the sanity timer enables the DDCH to reset itself. Bus timer The bus timer presents an error signal to the MPU if an attempt to access a device did not receive acknowledgment within the bus time-out period of 120 ms. Download operation Downloading is performed in either of two modes: background mode or maintenance mode. Before a download takes place, a D-channel link must be configured. The following situations lead to software downloading: • during initialization when new software is installed • when enabling the card or application • during card reset (due to loss of software or corruption) • during a background audit System initialization When new base or application software is installed on a CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet, the download decision is made during system initialization. The actual MSDL base software download is done in background mode and can take several minutes to complete, depending on switch traffic and the size of the MSDL base software. Card enabling or application enabling If a normal download enable command is executed, the MSDL base code and application is conditionally downloaded to the DDCH card. This conditional Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 790 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard download depends on the result of the check made by the CPU on the MSDL base code and application software. If a forced download enable command is executed in LD 96, the MSDL base code and application are forced down to the DDCH card, even if the base and application software is already resident on the DDCH card. In order to complete a forced download, the following conditions must be met: • the DDCH card must be enabled • the D-channel port must be disabled Card reset After a card reset, the MSDL base code and the D-channel application software are validated by the CPU. The software is stored in flash EPROM on the DDCH card and does not have to be downloaded. But if the software is missing due to new installation, corruption, or loadware version mismatch, the CPU automatically downloads the base/application into the DDCH card. Background audit If a background audit of the card and associated applications finds that a download is required, the card is queued in the PSDL tree. Downloading is performed in background mode based on the entries in the PSDL tree. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 810 Page 791 of 906 NTCK16 Generic Central Office Trunk cards Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 791 Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 793 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 793 Operation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 794 Electrical specifications. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 796 Connector pin assignments . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 797 Configuration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 797 Applications . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 807 Introduction The NTCK16 generic Central Office trunk cards support up to eight analog Central Office trunks.

Each unit connects to the shelf backplane through an 80-pin connector. The backplane is cabled to the I/O panel which is then cabled to the cross-connect terminal. At the cross-connect terminal, each unit connects to external apparatus by Tip and Ring leads. Switch settings There are no option switches on the NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk cards. All settings are configured in software. Self-test When the NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX trunk cards are installed and power is applied to them, a self-test is performed on each card. The red LED on the faceplate flashes three times, then remains continuously lit until the card is enabled in software. If the self-test fails, the LED remains lit. Functional description The NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk cards support up to eight analog Central Office trunks. They can be installed in any IPE slot. Both cards are exactly the same except for the Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) feature. The NTCK16AX card supports internal 12/16 kHz PPM but the NTCK16BX card does not. Common features The NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk cards: • support the North American loss plan • support loop start signalling • support busy tone detection and supervision on a per unit basis. • support battery reversal detection Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 794 of 906 NTCK16 Generic Central Office Trunk cards • provide 4 dB dynamic attenuation pads on a per call basis • allow individual units or the entire board to be disabled by software • provide software selectable A-law or µ-law companding • indicate self-test status during an automatic or manual self-test • provide card-identification for auto configuration, and for determining the serial number and firmware level of the card • convert transmission signals from analog-to-digital and from digital-to-analog • provide termination and trans-hybrid balance impedance to match 600 Ω. Operation Each NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk card supports the following: • Loop start operation • Battery reversal detection • Busy tone detection and supervision • Loss Switching • Trunk-to-Trunk connections • Call Disconnect In addition, the NTCK16AX circuit card supports internal 12/16 kHz PPM detection. Loop start operation Loop start operation is configured in software and is implemented in the card through software download messages. Idle state In the idle state, the ringing detector is connected across the tip and ring wires, providing a high impedance loop toward the Central Office. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTCK16 Generic Central Office Trunk cards Page 795 of 906 Call placed by Central Office The Central Office initiates a call by applying ringing between the tip and ring wires. If the call is answered, the ringing detector on the trunk card is switched out and a low resistance dc loop is placed between the tip and ring leads. On trunks configured for battery supervision, the battery detector records the polarity of the tip and ring wires and sends an answer acknowledge signal to software. Call placed by CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 To initiate a call, the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 switches out the ringing detector and places a low resistance loop across the tip and ring leads. On trunks configured for battery supervision, the trunk card sends a seize acknowledge signal to software. The system sends digits in the form of Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) tones or pulse digits. When the far-end answers, the Central Office reverses polarity. If the trunk is configured for battery supervision, it sends a polarity reversal message to software. Central Office disconnect There are two ways the Central Office can disconnect the call: • by applying busy tone toward the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1. If the trunk card is configured to detect busy tone, it will send a disconnect message to software. • by reversing battery. If the trunk card is configured to detect battery reversal, it will send a disconnect message to software. When the unit on the trunk card has been idled, the trunk card sends a release confirm message to software. CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 disconnect The CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 disconnects the call by removing the loop between the tip and ring leads and replacing the ringing detector. Trunks configured for battery supervision send a release confirm message to software.

The entries TRC and NTC will no longer be allowed for the Generic XFCOT. Trunk to Trunk connection When any disconnect supervision is configured (CLS = BAT, BTS) the Loop Start Trunk of the Generic XFCOT will be marked as having disconnect supervision and will therefore follow the same rules as a Ground Start Trunk. There is no configuration involved for this operation. Call disconnect When any disconnect supervision is configured (CLS = BAT, BTS) the Loop Start Trunk will be released when the disconnect signal is received. This will apply also in call states such as ringing, camp-on, DISA, and Meridian Mail. There is no configuration involved for this operation. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 824 Page 811 of 906 NTDK20 Small System Controller card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 811 Memory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 814 100BaseT IP daughterboards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 815 PC card interface . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 818 Security device . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 819 SDI ports . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 820 Conferencing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 820 MG 1000S/Expansion card slot assignment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 821 Introduction This chapter introduces the NTDK20GA Small System Controller (SSC) Card used in the Call Server, MG 1000S, and Media Gateway 1000B (MG 1000B). It controls call processing, stores system and customer data, and provides various 100BaseT IP interfaces. You can install this card in slots 1 through 4 in the MG 1000S or slots 7 through 10 in the MG 1000S Expansion The NTDK20FA SSC card is the minimum vintage of SSC that can be used in the Call Server and MG 1000S. See Figure 170 on page 813. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 812 of 906 NTDK20 Small System Controller card The NTDK20GA SSC card has the following components and features: • NTTK25 daughterboard Flash memory, NTAK19 SIMM module (16 MB) DRAM, and Backup memory Note: The NTTK13 daughterboard is still supported. 553-3001-211 • up to two 100BaseT IP daughterboards • two PCMCIA sockets • three Serial Data Interface (SDI) ports • 32 channels of Conferencing (64 if one dual-port 100BaseT IP daughterboard is present, or 96 if two dual-port 100BaseT IP daughterboards are present) • one 10BaseT port • 30 channels of Tone and Digit Switch (TDS) and a combination of eight Digitone Receivers (DTR) or Extended Tone Detectors (XTD) • additional tone service ports (four units of MFC/MFE/MFK5/MFK6/ MFR or eight DTR/XTD units) Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTDK20 Small System Controller card Page 813 of 906 Figure 170 NTDK20 SSC card and expansion daughterboard in the Call Server Flash ROM Drive Security Device PCMCIA Drive 100BaseT daughterboard Ports 1 & 3 for MG 1000S systems 1 and 3 Connector for 2nd 100BaseT daughterboard. Ports 2 and 4 for Media Gateways 2 and 4 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 814 of 906 NTDK20 Small System Controller card Memory The majority of system and customer configured data is both controlled and stored on the NTDK20 SSC card’s Flash ROM. An active and backup copy of customer data is also kept on the Flash ROM. In the event of data loss, the NTDK20 SSC card also retains a copy of customer files in an area called the Backup flash drive. The NTDK20 SSC card is equipped with 8MB of temporary memory space called DRAM. DRAM functions much like RAM on a computer system. It stores and processes temporary automated routines and user-programmed commands while the system is running. The DRAM on the SSC card stores operating system files, user files, overlay data, patch codes, and the active copy of the customer database. The NTDK20 SSC card’s Flash daughterboard is the NTTK25. It performs most of the system software storage and data processing. NTTK25 daughterboard The NTTK25 is a 48 MB daughterboard comprised of Flash ROM and Primary Flash drive. It is required in the Call Server and MG 1000S. The Flash ROM holds 32 MB of ROM memory, comprising operating system data and overlay programs. Flash ROM is expandable using an expansion flash daughterboard. The Primary Flash drive contains 16 MB of storage space. Most of the data storage is allocated to the Primary Flash drive – the main storage area of customer configured data. Other system data such as the Secure Storage Area (SSA) also resides in the Flash drive. The SSA holds data that must survive power interruptions. The Boot ROM is a 2 MB storage device located on the NTDK20 SSC card. The Boot ROM contains the boot code, system data, patch data, and the backup copy of the Primary Flash drive’s customer database. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 NTDK20 Small System Controller card Page 815 of 906 100BaseT IP daughterboards A 100BaseT IP Daughterboard mounted on the NTDK20 SSC card enables the connection of the Call Server to a MG 1000S. See Figure 170 on page 813. Each daughterboard increases the number of conference channels by 32. The maximum number of conference ports is 96. Table 259 on page 817 provides the ports, cables, and connection data on the IP daughterboards. The NTDK83 (dual-port) 100BaseT IP daughterboard mounts on the NTDK20 SSC card in the Call Server. It provides connectivity to two MG 1000S systems and their associated MG 1000S Expansions. Note: With a point-to-point connection, the MG 1000S must be within 100 meters of the Call Server. An optional second NTDK83 daughterboard can be mounted on the NTDK20 SSC card in the Call Server. Adding the second NTDK83 daughterboard provides support for up to four MG 1000S systems. See Figure 171 on page 816. The NTDK99AA (single-port) daughterboard is mounted on the NTDK20 SSC card in the MG 1000S to provide connectivity to the Call Server. See Figure 172 on page 816. Note: Third party media conversion devices can be used to extend the range of MG 1000S systems from the Call Server. The IMC Networks Ethernet Compatible Media Converter with a McLIM Tx/Fx-SM/Plus module was tested by Nortel.

The task handler provides orderly per-channel task execution to maintain real-time task ordering constraints. • Transmit voice: inserts digital pads, manipulates transmit AB bits for DS1, and provides graceful entry into T-Link data mode when the data module connected to the DTI/PRI trunk is answering the call. • Receive voice: inserts digital pads and provides graceful entry into T-Link data mode when the data module connected to the DTI/PRI trunk is originating the call. • T-Link data: a set of transmit and receive vectored subroutines which provides T-Link protocol conversion to and from the DM-DM protocol. • Receive ABCD filtering: filters and debounces the receive ABCD bits and provides change of state information to the system. • Diagnostics • Self-test Digital pad The digital pad is an EPROM whose address-input to data-output transfer function meets the characteristics of a digital attenuator. The digital pad accommodates both µ255-Law and A-Law coding. There are 32 combinations each for µ255 to µ255, µ255 to A-Law, A-Law to µ255, and A-Law to A-Law. These values are selected to meet the EIA loss and level plan.

The NTAK20 clock controller circuitry synchronizes the CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet to an external reference clock and generates and distributes the clock to the system. The CS 1000S, CS 1000M Cabinet, and Meridian 1 PBX 11C Cabinet can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking master to the network. The NTAK20AD and NTAK20AA versions of the clock controller meet AT&T Stratum 3 and Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BD and NTAK20BA versions meet CCITT stratum 4 specifications. See “NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard” on page 735. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 838 of 906 NTRB21 DTI/PRI/DCH TMDI card IMPORTANT! Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller clocked to an external reference clock. If an IP Expansion multi-cabinet system is equipped with digital trunk cards, it is mandatory that at least one trunk card is placed in the Main Option 11C cabinet. A cabinet that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller. Note: Clocking slips can occur between MG 1000S systems that are clocked from different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The slips can degrade voice quality. Clock rate converter The 1.5 Mb clock is generated by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). The PLL synchronizes the 1.5 Mb DS1 clock to the 2.56 Mb system clock through the common multiple of 8 kHz by using the main frame synchronization signal. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 844 Page 839 of 906 NTVQ01xx Media Card Contents This section contains information on the following topics: Physical description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 839 Hardware architecture . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 841 Functional description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 843 Survivability . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 843 Physical description The Media Card replaces the ITG Pentium card and is available as an 8-port or 32-port card.

These high-speed synchronous ports are used to connect the processor to synchronous communication peripherals such as Meridian Mail or to a host computer (for example, DEC or Tandem) using Meridian Link. This card cannot be used as an asynchronous port or to connect to an administrative and maintenance terminal. Use either the NT8D41 SDI paddle board or the QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card to connect the switch to an asynchronous serial peripheral. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 852 of 906 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Each system can accommodate up to eight ESDI cards, for a total of 16 synchronous ports per system. The ESDI cards can be housed in the network slots of any of the following modules: • NT5D21 Core/Network module (slots 0 through 7) • NT6D39 CPU/Network module (slots 1 through 9 and 13) • NT6D60 Core module (slots 0 through 5) • NT8D35 Network module (slots 5 through 13) • NT9D11 Core/Network module (slots 0 through 8) Note: When as ESDI card is installed in an NT6D60 Core module, an NT8D34 CPU module, or slot 13 of an NT6D39 CPU/Network module in a dual-CPU system, any I/O device connected to the card does not function when the CPU in that module is inactive. Physical description The ESDI card circuitry is contained on a 31.75 by 25.40 cm (12.5 by 10 in.) printed circuit board. The front panel of the card is 2.54 cm (1 in.) wide. See Figure 182 on page 853. The front panel is equipped with an Enable/Disable (ENB/DIS) switch and a red LED. The LED lights when the following occurs: 553-3001-211 • the ENB/DIS switch is set to DIS • both ports are disabled in software • none of the card’s ports have been configured in software • the switch settings on the card do not match the settings programmed in software Standard 3.00 August 2005 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Page 853 of 906 Figure 182 CPC513 ESDI card front panel Q P C 5 1 3 Card lock latch CSL/ ESDI ENB LED Enable/disable switch DIS ESDI port 1 connector J1 ESDI port 2 connector Card lock latch J2 553-5981 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 854 of 906 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Functional description The QPC513 ESDI card is an intelligent, two-port synchronous serial data interface card. See Figure 183. The two serial input/output data ports terminate on DB-25 connectors on the front panel of the card. Each port operates independently in synchronous mode, in half or full duplex, at speeds of up to 64 kbps. Each port can be connected to either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communications Equipment (DCE). The electrical interface for the ESDI card may be either EIA RS-232-C or a proprietary high-speed interface. The high-speed interface combines features of RS-422-A for data and timing signals with features of RS-232-C for control signals.

The local micro-processor performs all of the overhead associated with synchronous data transfer. The system processor passes data to the ESDI card processor a byte at a time using conventional memory reads and writes. The ESDI card processor stores the data in a RAM cache on the ESDI card, and passes it to the synchronous communication chip in blocks using Direct Memory Access (DMA) techniques. Synchronous communication The ESDI cards supports LAPB, a subset of the HDLC synchronous protocol. A description of the LAPB protocol is shown in Appendix A, LAPB data link protocol on page 901. The HDLC data link is a bit-oriented protocol. The information data bits are transmitted transparently across the link in packets. The maximum length of the information field for these packets is 128 octets, where an octet consists of 8 bits. The characteristics of the synchronous communication ports are shown in Table 266.

Clock timing option The ESDI card offers two timing options: • Internal: The ESDI card uses an internal timing source to synchronize data transfers to the external device. • External: The ESDI card accepts a timing source from the high-speed interface connector to synchronize data transfers to the external device. Test and maintenance features The ESDI card has these built-in testing and maintenance capabilities: Self-test The ESDI card performs a self-test of its major components immediately after power-up. The self-test can also be initiated through the Link Diagnostic program LD 48. The self-test tests all ESDI functions up to, but not including, the ESDI line drivers and receivers. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Page 857 of 906 Fault detection Firmware on the ESDI card detects hardware faults on the card and link level LAPB protocol faults. It reports the faults to the CPU when predetermined thresholds (downloaded at initialization) have been exceeded. Fault isolation The ESDI/Command and Status Link (CSL) maintenance software takes the ESDI card out of service when the out-of-service thresholds are exceeded for the following: • LAPB error conditions (for example, retransmission, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors, overrun/underrun errors) • Physical or link errors • Detected hardware errors Connection characteristics The two DB-25 connectors on the front panel of the ESDI card provide connections to each of the two I/O ports. The electrical interface of these connectors is a modified version of the RS-422-A standard designed to drive high-speed data over long cable lengths (up to 100 ft). Table 267 shows the interconnection specifications for these ports. Table 267 QPC513 interconnection specifications Distance Interconnection <15.24 m (<50 ft) Regular 25-conductor cable >15.24 m and <30.48 m Twisted pair for balanced circuits (>50 ft and <100 ft) >30.48 m (>100 ft) Network interface devices such as stand-alone modems or DS-1 facilities using Asynchronous/Synchronous Interface Module (ASIM) and Data Line card (DLC) Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 858 of 906 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Electrical interface options Interface options are selected by inserting jumper plugs into the appropriate sockets on the card: • RS-232-C interface: The EIA RS-232-C interface can be used for speeds up to 19.2 kbps and distances of less than 15.24 m (50 ft). The ESDI card supports a subset of the RS-232-C signals. See Table 268 on page 859. • High-speed interface: The high-speed interface combines features of the RS-422-A standard for the data and timing signals with standard RS-232-C control signals. It is used when the signal rate is greater than 19.2 kbps and/or when the distance between the system and host is greater than 15.24 m (50 ft). No modems are needed if the distance is less than 30.48 m (100 ft). The high-speed interface uses a proprietary pin assignment, rather than the standard 37-pin RS-449 arrangement. This pin arrangement is compatible with the Spectron Cable #75-025 for V.35 use. See Table 269 on page 860. The data and timing signals on the high-speed interface use RS-422-A type differential line drivers and receivers in a balanced configuration. These drivers and receivers are able to drive higher data rate signals over longer distances than standard RS-232-C drivers and receivers. A typical connection using these drivers and receivers is shown in Figure 184.

Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 862 of 906 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card Configuring the ESDI card Configuring the ESDI card consists of setting the port addresses using the address selection switch and setting the port interface options using the jumper blocks. The system software must then be configured to recognize the ESDI card. Figure 185 on page 864 shows the location of all option switches and jumper sockets on the ESDI card. Address switch settings The two ESDI ports on the card are addressed in pairs such as 0 and 1, 2 and 3, and so on). The address is set using switch S2. The switch settings used to select the address vary depending on whether the card is Style A or Style B. The “Style” can be read on the printed circuit board silk screen. The address of the card is set to match the device address defined in software. Synchronous port address space is the same as asynchronous port address space. When selecting an address for the ESDI card, make sure that it will not conflict with an address currently being used by an asynchronous card. Table 270 shows the ESDI card address switch settings.

DTE/DCE mode jumper settings The interface for each ESDI port is configured independently. Ports must be configured both for electrical interface (RS-232-C or high-speed) and mode (DTE or DCE). With the proper options set: • An ESDI port configured as DTE appears as a terminal to the user equipment. • An ESDI port configured as DCE appears as a modem to the user equipment. Interface options are set by installing option jumper plugs into the sockets indicated in Table 271 on page 865 and Table 272 on page 865.

The ESDI card is typically used to connect to the following: • Meridian Mail • A host computer using Meridian Link • An auxiliary processor The system processor transfers data to the ESDI card in blocks consisting of 1 to 128 eight-bit octets. Each block is processed in accordance with the LAPB subset of the HDLC protocol and is transmitted serially to the output port. In receive mode, the EDSI card receives data serially from the input port packages in LAPB information frames. After determining that the block is error-free, the ESDI card supplies the data to the system processor as a block. The ESDI card serial ports terminate on the card front panel. Figure 186 on page 868 shows the typical ESDI card connections in a system.

The QSDI card plugs into a slot in the common equipment area of any system. The Quad Serial Data Interface card is normally used to connect the system to its administration and maintenance terminal. It is also used to connect the system to a background terminal (used in the Hotel/Motel environment), a modem, or the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) and Call Detail Recording (CDR) features. The QSDI card is compatible with all existing system software. It does not support 20 mA current loop interface. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 870 of 906 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card QSDI cards are housed in the following modules: • NT5D21 Core/Network module (slots 0 through 7) • NT6D39 CPU/Network module (slots 1 through 9, and 13) • NT6D60 Core module (slots 0 through 5) • NT8D35 Network module (slots 5 through 13) • NT9D11 Core/Network module (slots 0 through 8) Note: When a QSDI card is installed in an NT6D60 Core module, an NT8D34 CPU module, or slot 13 of an NT6D39 CPU/Network module in a dual-CPU system, any input/output I/O device connected to the card does not function when the CPU in that module is inactive. Physical description The QPC841 QSDI card is a printed circuit board measuring 31.75 cm by 25.4 cm (12.5 in. by 10 in.). The front panel is 2.54 cm (1 in.) thick. See Figure 187 on page 871. Up to four QSDI boards can be used in a system, allowing a total of sixteen asynchronous serial ports. The four serial ports on each card are addressed as two pairs of consecutive addresses (0 and 1, 2 and 3, and so on up to 14 and 15). The pairs need not be consecutive. For example: pairs 0 and 1, and 4 and 5 could be used. The card front panel has two connectors, J1 and J2. Connector J1 is used for port 1 while connector J2 is used for ports 2, 3, and 4. It also has an Enable/ Disable (ENB/DIS) switch and a red LED. The LED indicates that the card has been disabled. It is lit when the following occurs: 553-3001-211 • the ENB/DIS switch is set to DIS • all of the ports on the card are disabled in software • none of the card ports are configured in software Standard 3.00 August 2005 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card Page 871 of 906 Figure 187 QPC841 QSDI card front panel Card lock latch QPC841 LED QSDI ENB Enable/disable switch DIS J1 Port 1 connector (RS-232C) J2 Ports 2, 3, and 4 connector (non-standard) Card lock latch 553-5985 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 872 of 906 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card Functional description The QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card contains all the logic for four asynchronous serial ports, including the baud rate generators. These serial ports are directly accessed by the system processor using memory reads and writes. The QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card contains four universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) and the logic necessary to connect the UARTs to the system processor bus. See Figure 188 on page 873. The other logic on the card consists of four baud rate generators, four RS-232-C driver/receiver pairs, and the jumpers and logic needed to configure the UARTs. The address select switches and logic on the card always address the UARTs using two pairs of addresses: 0 and 1, and 2 and 3 through 15 and 16. The pairs do not need to be consecutive. Other switches on the board determine the baud rate for each individual port and whether the port is configured to talk to a terminal (DTE equipment) or a modem (DCE equipment). Instructions for setting the jumpers are given later in this section. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card Page 873 of 906 Figure 188 QPC841 QSDI card block diagram RS-232-C drivers and receivers UARTs TD UART RD no. 1 UART Port 1 TD RD Port 2 TD RD Port 3 TD RD Port 4 J1 no. 2 UART J2 no. 3 UART no. 4 Address decode logic Clock and bit rate select logic Processor bus 553-5986 Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 874 of 906 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card Connector pin assignments Connector J1 is connected to port one, and uses the RS-232-C standard DB-25 pinout. Connector J2 is connected to ports two, three, and four, and is a non-standard pinout that requires an adapter cable. An adapter cable (NT8D96) splits the J2 signals out to three standard RS-232-C connectors. Port 2 is connected to connector A, Port 3 is connected to connector B, and Port 4 is connected to connector C.

Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 882 of 906 QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface card Applications The QPD841 Quad Serial Data Interface (QSDI) card is used to connect the switch to a variety of communication devices and peripherals. Any RS-232-C compatible device can be connected to any of the four serial ports. The standard application for the QSDI card is to connect the switch to the system console. This can be either a direct connection if the console is located near the switch, or through a modem for remote maintenance. Bell 103/212 compatible dumb modems are recommended to connect a remote data terminal. If a smart modem (such as a Hayes modem) is used, select the dumb mode of operation (Command Recognition OFF, Command Echo OFF) before connecting the modem to the asynchronous port. Serial data interface connector J1 is a standard RS-232-C DB-25 connector that connects port 1 of the QSDI card to outside peripherals. Connector J2 is non-standard in that it contains the connections for the three remaining serial ports (ports 2, 3, and 4), on a single DB-25 connector. An adapter cable must be used to connect to standard RS-232-C peripherals. Cables that are applicable to the QSDI card are: • SDI male-to-female flat cables (internal module use only) — NT8D82 — QCAD290 Note: This cable is available in different lengths. Refer to the Equipment Identification (553-3001-154) for more information — QCAD42 • SDI male-to-male round cables (external use only) — NT8D95 • SDI to I/O cables (system options use only) — NT8D82 Note: This cable is available in different lengths.

However, it is still supported on the system. The TDS/DTR functionality is also incorporated into the NTDK97 MSC card used with Chassis system. The TDS/DTR is not required in a 2 chassis Chassis system. You can install this card in slots 1 through 9 in the main cabinet. The card is not supported in the expansion cabinets. it must be manually programmed in LD 13 (for DTR) and LD 17 (for TDS and TTY). The TDS/DTR card provides: • 30 channels of Tone and Digit Switch • Two Serial Data Interface ports • 8 tone detection circuits configured as Digitone Receivers Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 886 of 906 The TDS/DTR card Features Tone transmitter The TDS/DTR tone transmitter provides 30 channels of tone transmission. Up to 256 tones are available as u-Law or A-Law and up to 256 bursts and cadences are downloaded from the CPU. The TDS/DTR card does not provide the Music on Hold feature as do other TDS cards. The music source must come from a standard trunk card. Tone detector The TDS/DTR card provides eight channels of DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) detection in A-Law or µ-Law. In North America, pre-programmed data is configured for µ-Law tone detection. SDI function The TDS/DTR card provides two SDI (Serial Data Interface) ports. Refer to “SDI ports” in Installation planning (553-3001-120) for more information. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 The TDS/DTR card Page 887 of 906 Tones and cadences The following tables give the tones and cadences provided by the NTAK03 TDS/DTR card.

The protocol is a subset of the HDLC procedures which are described in International Organization for Standardization procedures ISO 3309-1979 (E), ISO 4335-1979 (E) and appendices 1 and 2, and ISO 6256-1981 (E). Refer to these procedures for complete LAPB details. Applications which use an ESDI port in synchronous mode must conform to the following requirements. Operation Circuit Switch Equipment transfers data to the QPC513 in blocks consisting of 1 to 128 eight-bit octets. Each block is processed in accordance with the Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 902 of 906 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol LAPB subset of the HDLC protocol and transmitted serially to the line at a rate determined by the downloaded parameters. The QPC513 card receives data serially from the line, packaged in LAPB information frames. After determining that a block is error free the data is supplied to the Circuit Switch Equipment as a block. Frame structure All transmissions are in frames and each frame conforms to the format shown in Table 280 on page 903. In particular, frame elements for applications using a port on the QPC513 follow these LAPB conventions: 553-3001-211 • Zero information field is permitted. • Inter-frame time fill is accomplished by transmitting contiguous flags. This is compatible with AT&T Technical Requirement BX.25 and ADCCP standards. • Extensions for the address field or the control field are not permitted. This requirement imposes constraints to satellite operations. • Individual station addresses are assigned in service change for balanced configuration. The default ESDI address is 10000000. The far-end default address is 11000000. • The LAPB basic control field (modules 8) format is implemented. • Frame check sequence is implemented in accordance with LAPB procedures. Standard 3.00 August 2005 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol Page 903 of 906 Table 280 LAPB frame structure Flag Address Control Information FCS Flag 01111110 8 bits 8 bits unspecified (no. of bits) 16 bits 01111110 Legend: Flag: Flag sequence – All frames start and end with the flag sequence. (A single flag is used as both the closing flag for one frame and the opening flag for the next frame.) Address: Station address field – In command frames, the address identifies the station for whom the command is intended. In response frames, the address identifies the station from which the response originated. Control: Control field – This field contains commands or responses and sequence numbers. Information: Information field – Information may be any sequence of bits, usually related to a convenient character structure such as an octet, but may be an unspecified number (from 1 to 128) of bits unrelated to a character structure. FCS: Frame check sequence. LAPB balanced class of procedure Applications which use ports on the QPC513 are automatically designated as BAC, 2, 8 (for example, balanced operation, asynchronous balanced mode class of procedure with optional functions 2 and 8 implemented). Balanced configuration A balanced configuration is one in which two combined stations have identical responsibilities for exchanging data and control information and for initiating error recovery functions, as shown in Figure 191 on page 904. Combined station A combined station has balanced link control capability and transmits both commands and responses to, and receives both commands and responses from the other combined station. Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 904 of 906 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol Figure 191 Balanced configuration Commands Combined station Combined station Responses 553-3741 Asynchronous Balanced Mode Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM) is a balanced, configured operational mode in which either combined station may send commands at any time and may initiate certain response frame transmissions without receiving permission from the other combined station. Commands and responses The elements of procedure are described in terms of actions which take place when a command is received. The classes of procedures are a combination of the frame structure and the set of elements that satisfy the requirements of a specific application. The LAPB Balanced Asynchronous Class of Procedure (BAC, 2, 8) is implemented. This is compatible with both BX.25 and ADCCP specifications. The basic set of commands and responses is listed in Table 281 on page 905. 553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol Page 905 of 906 Table 281 Commands and responses Command Response I Option 8 RR RR RNR RNR REJ REJ or FRMR SABM UA DISC DM 2 Legend: I: Information RR: Receive ready RNR: Receive not ready REJ: Reject SABM: Set asynchronous balanced mode DISC: Disconnect RSET: Reset FRMR: Frame reject UA: Unnumbered acknowledge DM: Disconnect mode Option 2: Provides ability for more timely reporting of I frame sequence errors Option 8: Limits the procedure to allow I frames to be commands only Description of procedure The basic LAPB procedures must be implemented to satisfy the following: • standard use of the poll/final bit (for more information, see ISO-4375-1979-[E]) • exception condition reporting and recovery implemented in accordance with BX.25 and ADCCP specifications • link set-up and disconnect implemented according to BX.25 specifications Circuit Card Description and Installation Page 906 of 906 553-3001-211 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol Standard 3.00 August 2005 Family Product Manual Contacts Copyright FCC notice Trademarks Document number Product release Document release Date Publish Nortel Communication Server 1000 Circuit Card Description and Installation Copyright © Nortel Networks Limited 2005 All Rights Reserved Information is subject to change without notice.
