Circuit Card Description and Installation
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)
Page 32 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• configure the card according to instructions issued by the system
• report back to the system information such as card identification (type,
vintage, and serial number), firmware version, and programmed
configuration status)
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment
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:
• off-hook/on-hook

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.
Page 36 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 40 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
(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
Overview Page 41 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 46 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 50 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
• 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.
Overview Page 51 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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 must be enabled within the SAL software.
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.

B bit = Ringing (0=on, 1=off)
Receive to LTI: A bit = Loop (0=open, 1=closed)

When a T1 channel is idle, the lineside T1 card simulates a ground on the tip

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.
Page 54 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
change to 0. The lineside T1 card responds to this message by simulating the
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.
Table 5 outlines the lineside T1’s A and B bit settings in each state of call
processing.

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.

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 58 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Nortel has tested line protection devices from three manufacturers. See
Table 6. Each manufacturer offers devices for protection of digital as well as
analog telephone lines.
These devices are compatible with 66 type M1-50 split blocks or equivalent.
Consult the device manufacturer if more specific compatibility information is
required.
Line protection grounding
In conjunction with line protectors, proper system (PBX) grounding is
essential to minimize equipment damage. Nortel recommends following the

Operation
This section describes how trunk cards fit into the CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and
Meridian 1 architecture, the buses that carry signals to and from the trunk
cards, and how they connect to terminal equipment. See Table 8 for IPE
parameters.
Host interface bus
Cards based on the IPE bus have a built-in microcontroller. The IPE
microcontroller is used for the following:
• to perform local diagnostics (self-test)
• to configure the card according to instructions issued by the system
processor
• to report back to the system processor information such as card
identification (type, vintage, and serial number), firmware version, and
programmed configuration status.
Intelligent Peripheral Equipment
IPE trunk cards all have a similar architecture. Figure 11 on page 64 shows a
typical IPE trunk card architecture. The various trunk cards differ only in the
number and types of trunk interface units.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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 are as follows:
• off hook/on hook
• ringing signal on/off
• message waiting lamp on/off
Maintenance data is data relating to the configuration and operation of the
IPE card, and is carried on the card LAN link. Some examples of maintenance
data are as follows:
• polling
• reporting of self-test status
• CPU initiated card reset
• reporting of card ID (card type and hardware vintage)
• reporting of firmware version
• downloading trunk interface unit configuration
• reporting of trunk interface unit configuration
• enabling/disabling of the DS-30X network loop bus
• reporting of card status
Page 66 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
Overview Page 67 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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, 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.
Card LAN link
Maintenance communication is the exchange of control and status data
between IPE line or trunk cards and the CE CPU by way of the NT8D01
Controller Card. Maintenance data is transported via the card LAN link. This

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
Page 70 of 906 Overview
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
Each part of the trunk 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 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.

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.

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.
The NT8D41BA QSDI paddle board does not have a front panel. It mounts
to the rear of the backplane in the NT5D21 Core/Network module, and does

Precautions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, review the following
guidelines before handling system equipment.
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:
• 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.
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.
Circuit card installation Page 85 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• Keep cards installed in the system as much as possible to avoid dirty
contacts and unnecessary wear.
• Store cards in a cool, dry, dust-free area.
During repair and maintenance procedures do the following:
• Turn off the circuit breaker or switch for a module power supply before
the power supply is removed or inserted.
• In AC-powered systems, capacitors in the power supply must discharge.
Wait five full minutes between turning off the circuit breaker and
removing the power supply from the module.
• Software disable cards, if applicable, before they are removed or
inserted.

• Hardware disable cards, whenever there is an enable/disable switch,
before they are removed or inserted.
• Return defective or heavily contaminated cards to a repair center. Do not
try to repair or clean them.
Installing a circuit card
This procedure provides detailed installation instructions for circuit cards.
Procedure 1
Installation
1Open 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.
2Inspect 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.
3Refer to the work order to determine the module and slot location for the
card.
4If there is an enable/disable (Enb/Dis) switch on the faceplate, set it to Dis.
5If there are option switches or jumpers on the card, set them according to
the work order (see “Option settings” on page 101).
6Squeeze the ends of the locking devices on the card and pull the tabs
away from the latch posts and faceplate (see Figure 16).
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.
CAUTION
System Failure
Incorrectly set switches on common equipment
circuit cards may cause a system failure.
Circuit card installation Page 87 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
7Insert 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).
8Lock 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.
1Log into the system:
LOGI (password)
2Request 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
3If 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.
Acceptance tests Page 91 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
4Test 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.
5Prepare 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.
6Test 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:
• 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.
Option settings Page 103 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
Throughout this document, if neither ON nor OFF is given (there is a blank
space) for a position on a switch, that position may be set to either ON or OFF
because it has no function for the option described.

* 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.

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
Page 158 of 906 NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
between line or trunk cards and the CPU. Maintenance data is transported
through the card LAN link.
The card LAN link supports the following functions on the NT1R20 OPS
analog line card:
• polling
• reporting of self-test status
• CPU initiated card reset
• reporting of card ID (card type and hardware vintage)
• reporting of firmware version
• reporting of line interface unit configuration
• enabling/disabling of the DS-30X network loop busy
• reporting of card status
Power interface
Power is provided to the NT1R20 OPS analog line card by the NTAK78
ac/dc or NTAK72 DC power supply.
Page 162 of 906 NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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)
NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card Page 163 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
— 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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).

Outgoing calls
For outgoing calls from a telephone, a line unit is seized when the telephone
goes off-hook, placing a low-resistance loop across the tip and ring leads
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
and Configuration (553-3021-210) for more detailed I/O panel connector
information and wire assignments for each tip/ring pair.

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.

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.
Page 180 of 906 NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card Page 181 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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
15.0 dB (loss corresponding to the maximum signaling range)
– 4.5 dB (OPS service loss objective)
= 10.5 dB (required gain treatment)
Page 182 of 906 NT1R20 Off-Premise Station Analog Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.

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
Page 194 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

In general, the LEDs operate as shown in Table 76.
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.

LED 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.
RED 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.
YEL 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.
MAINT 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.
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 197 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
“Man-Machine T1 maintenance interface software” on page 225 for
information on T1 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 will turn
off.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 201 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 202 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Power requirements
The lineside T1 card requires +15 V, –15 V, and +5 V from the backplane.
One NT8D06 IPE Power Supply AC or NT6D40 IPE Power Supply DC can
supply power to a maximum of eight lineside T1 cards. See Table 78.
Foreign and surge voltage protections
In-circuit protection against power line crosses or lightning is not provided on
the lineside T1 card. It does 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 Channel Service Unit (CSU) as part of the
terminal equipment to provide external line protection.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 206 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 208 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
maintenance interface software” on page 225 for details on how to invoke this
command.

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Vintage levels cabling 24 ports
For modules with vintage levels that cabled 24 ports to the I/O panel, the
lineside T1 card can be installed in any pair of card slots 015.

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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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:
1a DB15 male connector (P2) which plugs into the T1 line
2a DB9 male connector (P3) which plugs into an external alarm system
3a second DB9 male connector (P5) which connects to an MMI terminal
or modem
4a 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:
1Punch 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.
2Plug 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.
3Turn 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
1Cable 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.
2Make 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”
(towards MMI terminal).
3Repeat Step 2 for the remaining cards.
4When the last card in the daisy chain is reached, make no connection to
the DB9 male connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal).
5If 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.

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

cross-referenced to the corresponding card unit number. This mapping is
shown in Table 87.

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 <CR>
and against FTR respond:
ISP <CR>
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 226 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• errored seconds
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 227 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• bursty seconds
• unavailable seconds
• framer slip seconds
• loss of frame seconds
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<CR>
For multiple card installations connected in a daisy-chain, log in by entering:

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 <CR>
Page 228 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
•Alarm
• Clear
•Display
•Set
•Test
•Help
• Quit

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
•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.
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 233 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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

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.
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 235 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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.
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.
Page 236 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:

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:
• Excessive bit error rate
• Frame slip errors
• Out of frame condition
• Loss of signal condition
• Blue alarm (AIS) condition
NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 237 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 238 of 906 NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
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

cause a screen similar to the following to appear:
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.

• 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. A screen similar to the following will appear:
Each column, except the error counter, indicates the number of errors in the
current hour and is reset to zero every hour on the hour. When these counters
are reset to zero, the performance counter values are put into the history log.
The error counter indicates the number of errors that occurred since the error
counter was cleared.

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:

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)

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.
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.

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.
Test 3, network loopback, loops the received T1 data back toward the CPE
equipment. 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

Applications
The lineside T1 interface is an IPE line card that provides cost-effective
connection between T1-compatible IPE and a system or off-premise
extensions over long distances.
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.

NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards Page 245 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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

Similarly, the lineside T1 can be used to provide a connection between the
system and a remote Norstar system. See Figure 39. In this case, channel
banks would not be required if the Norstar system is equipped with a T1
interface.

Introduction
Two vintages of NT5D33 and NT5D34 cards are supported:
• NT5D33AB/NT5D34AB – standard Lineside E1 Interface (LEI) cards
The LEI card is an IPE line card that provides an all-digital connection
between E1–compatible terminal equipment (such as a voice mail
system) and CS 1000S, CS 1000M, or Meridian 1.
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
Page 250 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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

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).

The LEDs give status indications on the operations as described in Table 92.
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

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
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.
Page 258 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• reporting to the CE CP through the card LAN link
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 259 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
— 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
Page 260 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
Key Benefits of using CAS+ signaling (ELEI mode) over traditional A/B bit
signaling (LEI mode) include:
1Calling 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.

2Redirecting 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.
3Message waiting indication (MWI)
Message waiting indication can be provided over the CAS+ interface.

Power requirements
Table 94 shows the voltage and maximum current that the LEI requires from
the backplane. One NT8D06 IPE Power Supply AC or NT6D40 IPE Supply
DC can supply power to a maximum of eight LEIs.
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Installation and Configuration
Installation and configuration of the LEI consists of six basic steps:
1Configure the dip switches on the LEI for the call environment.
2Install the LEI into the selected card slots.
3Cable 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).
4Configure the MMI terminal.
5Configure the LEI through the CS 1000 Release 4.5 software and verify
self-test results.
6Verify 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:
7The 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
Storage temperature –50° to + 70° C (–58° to 158° F), ambient
Storage humidity 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)

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. Make the selection for this dip switch position based
on what type of framing the LTU equipment supports.
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 265 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
E1 Coding
The LEI is capable of interfacing with LTU equipment using either AMI or
HDB3 coding. Make the selection for this dip switch position based on the
type of coding the LTU equipment supports.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Line supervision on E1 failure
This setting determines in what state all 30 LEI ports will appear to the
CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 in case of E1 failure. 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

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.
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.

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:
LEIs must not be installed into the following card slot pairs:
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.

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:
1a DB15 male connector (P2), which plugs into the E1 line
2a DB9 male connector (P3), which plugs into an external alarm system
3a second DB9 male connector (P5), which connects to an MMI terminal
or modem
4a 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.

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

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
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 279 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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:
1Cable 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.
2Make 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).
3Repeat step 2 for the remaining cards.
4At the last card of the daisy chain, make no connection from the DB9
female connector labeled “P4” (away from MMI terminal).
5If 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.

Terminal configuration
For the MMI terminal to be able to communicate to the LEI, the interface
characteristics must be set to:
• speed – 1200 or 2400 bps
• character width – 7 bits
• parity bit – mark

Circuit Card Description and Installation
• stop bits – one
• software handshake (XON/XOFF) – off
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Disconnect supervision
The LEI 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 LEI port. At the prompt
FTR respond:
OSP <CR>
Against FTR respond:
ISP <CR>
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.

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.
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 285 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 286 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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<CR> to login.
For multiple-card installations connected in a daisy chain, it is accessed by
entering L <address>, 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 <CR>
Spaces are inserted between the login command (L), the shelf address, and the

MMI commands and command sets (Part 2 of 2)
Command Description
Page 290 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 291 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
— 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.

Page 292 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
10-8 2.0/100 seconds 100-3600 seconds
10-9 2.0/1000 seconds 1000-3600 seconds

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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 <CR> 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.
Page 294 of 906 NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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.
Table 107
Set alarm options (Part 2 of 2)
Option Description
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 295 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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 <CR> 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.

However, responding to this prompt with 2 selects “Table” and allows the
user to set the A/B Bit Mode to whatever configuration the user chooses.
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 <CR> 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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Performance counters and reporting
The MMI monitors the performance of the E1 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, 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:
• 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).

• 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.
Each column, except the error counter, indicates the number of errors in the
current hour and is reset to zero every hour on the hour. 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.

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.
As with all Display commands, the Pause command can be used to
display a full screen of the history report at a time, by entering D H P.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Table 108 shows which test to run for the associated equipment.
Test 1, local loopback, loops the E1 link signaling toward itself at the
backplane connector. Test data is generated and received on all timeslots. If
this test fails, it indicates that the LEI is defective. Figure 59 illustrates how
the signaling is looped back toward itself.
Figure 59
MMI Local loopback test
Test 2, external loopback, applies an external loopback to the E1 link. 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.

Applications
The LEI is an IPE line card that provides cost-effective connection between
E1-compatible IPE and a CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 system or
off-premise extensions over long distances.
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
NT5D33 and NT5D34 Lineside E1 Interface cards Page 311 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Introduction
The NT5D60/80 CLASS Modem card supports the Custom Local Area
Signaling Services (CLASS) feature. 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.
Page 314 of 906 NT5D60/80 CLASS Modem card (XCMC)
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
NT5D60/80 CLASS Modem card (XCMC) Page 315 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

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.
Page 320 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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).
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:
• 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.
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.

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”.

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
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.

Functional description
NT5D97 circuit card locations
Each NT5D97 card requires one slot on a shelf. NT5D97 cards can be placed
in any card slot in the network bus.
Note in all cases - If an NT8D72BA/NTCK43 card is being replaced by a
DDP2 card, the D-channel Handler can be reconnected to the DDP2 card, or
removed if an onboard NTBK51DDCH card is used. Also, DIP Switches in
the NT5D97 must be set properly before insertion. NT5D97 has a different
DIP Switch setting from NTCK43AB. Refer to “NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch
settings” on page 340 for DIP switch setting).
NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings
The the NT5D97 DDP2 card is equipped with 6x2 sets of DIP switches for
trunk parameters settings for port0 and port1 respectively. Additionally, the
DDP2 card is equipped with one set of four DIP switches for the Ring Ground
setting. The NT5D97AA/AB has one set of eight DIP switches and
NT5D97AD has two sets of ten DIP switches for the D-channel Handler
parameters setting.
The DIP switches are used for the setting of default values of certain
parameters. Firmware reads the general purpose switches, which sets the
default values accordingly.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Architecture
Clock operation
There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.
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

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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 356 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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. Refer to
“Reference clock cables” on page 335 for more information.

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.

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.
Procedure 14
Installing the NT5D97
1Determine 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.
2Unpack and inspect the NT5D97and cables.
3If a DDCH is installed, refer to the section “Removing the NT5D97” on
page 364.
4Set 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.
5Install NT5D97 card in the assigned shelf and slot.
6Set the ENB/DIS faceplate switch to ON.
If the DDCH is installed, the DDCH LED should flash three times.
7If required, install the I/O adapters in the I/O panel.
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.
Page 364 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
8Run and connect the NT5D97 cables.
9If 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
1Determine the cabinet and shelf location of the NT5D97 card to be
removed.
2Disable 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.
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.
NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card Page 365 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
3If the NT5D97 card is being completely removed, not replaced, remove
data from memory.
4Remove cross connections at MDF to wall-mounted cross-connect
terminal.
5Tag and disconnect cables from card.
6Rearrange Clock Controller cables if required.
7Remove 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.
8Pack 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.
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.
Page 366 of 906 NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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.

Introduction
The XMFC/MFE (Extended Multi-frequency Compelled/Multi-frequency
sender-receiver) card is used to set up calls between two trunks. 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.
Page 370 of 906 NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• 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.
NT5K21 XMFC/MFE card Page 371 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

The exact meaning of each MFC signal number (1-15) within each level can
be programmed separately for each trunk route using MFC. 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Sender and receiver mode
The XMFC/MFE circuit card provides the interface between the system’s
CPU and the trunk circuit which uses MFC or MFE signaling.
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.

Introduction
The S/T Interface Line card (SILC) (NT6D70AA –48V North America,
NT6D70 BA –40 V International) provides eight S/T four-wire full-duplex
interfaces to connect ISDN BRI-compatible terminals over Digital Subscriber
Loops (DSLs) to the System. 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).
Page 380 of 906 NT6D70 SILC Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NT6D70 SILC Line card Page 381 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 382 of 906 NT6D70 SILC Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NT6D70 SILC Line card Page 383 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Introduction
The NT6D71 U Interface Line card (UILC) supports the OSI physical layer
(layer 1) protocol. 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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
The serial control interface is an IPE bus that communicates with the
U transceivers.
IPE interface logic
The IPE interface logic consists of a Card-LAN interface, a IPE bus interface,
a maintenance signaling channel interface, a digital pad, and a clock
converter.
The Card-LAN interface is used for routine card maintenance, which includes
polling the line cards to find in which card slot the UILC is installed. It also

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
UILC 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 B-channel voice calls.
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.
U interface logic
The U interface logic consists of a transceiver circuit. It provides loop
termination and high-voltage protection to eliminate the external hazards on
the DSL. The U interface supports voice and data terminals, D-channel packet
data terminals, and NT1s. A UILC has eight transceivers to support eight
DSLs for point-to-point operation.

Introduction
This document describes the Multi-purpose Serial Data Link (MSDL) card.
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
Page 390 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.

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.
NT6D80 MSDL card Page 395 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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:
1When the MSDL card is placed in the system, the card starts a self-test.
2When 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.
3After downloading the peripheral software, the system enables the
MSDL.
4MSDL applications (DCH, AML, SDI) may be brought up if
appropriately configured.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Data flow
The MSDL transmit interface, managed by the MSDL handler, sends data
from the system to the MSDL. 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.
Page 398 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Emulation mode Each port can be configured to emulate a DCE port or a
DTE port by setting the appropriate switches on the MSDL. 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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.
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).

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.
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

Installing the MSDL card
Procedure 16
Installing the MSDL card
To install an MSDL card follow these steps:
1Set Device Number S10 and S9.
2Hold the MSDL by its card-locking devices. 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.
3Insert the MSDL card into the selected card slot of the module following
the card guides in the module.
4Slide the MSDL into the module until it engages the backplane connector.
5Push the MSDL firmly into the connector using the locking devices as
levers by pushing them toward the card’s front panel.
6Push 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.
7Observe 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.
8If the LED turns on and stays on continuously without flashing three times,
the card may be defective. Go to steps 8 and 9.
9Connect 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
Page 408 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• 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

Note: The choices of cable to use with an MSDL card depend on what
type of modem is connected. For example, the NTND27 cable is used
when the modem has a DB25 connection. If the modem is v.35, a
customized or external vendor cable is required.
Cable installation
When the MSDL card is installed, connect the cables to the equipment
required for the selected operation.
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:
1Identify the MSDL and the PRI cards to be linked.
2Select the appropriate length cable for the distance between the MSDL
and the PRI card.
3Plug the 26-pin SCSI II male connector end of a cable into the appropriate
MSDL port.
4Route the cable through cable troughs, if necessary, to the appropriate
PRI card.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Maintenance
Routine maintenance consists of enabling and disabling MSDL cards and
downloading new versions of peripheral software. 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.
Page 414 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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).

NT6D80 MSDL card Page 415 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 416 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
•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.

• 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.

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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:
1Observe and list the problem symptoms; for example, a typical symptom
is a permanently lit LED.
2If the LED flashes three times but the card does not enable, verify that
the card is installed in a proper slot.
3Check that the address is unique; no other card in the system can be
physically set to the same device number as the MSDL.
4If 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.
5If 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.
Page 420 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Previously operating MSDL cards
Problems that occur during normal operation usually result from faulty cards.
Follow these steps to evaluate the situation:
1Use the STAT MSDL x command to check MSDL card status. See
“Displaying MSDL status” on page 418.
2If 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.
3If the card has been disabled by the system, disable it manually with
DIS MSDL x. See “Disabling the MSDL” on page 418.
4Invoke 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.

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:
1Log in on the maintenance terminal.
2At the > prompt, type LD 37 (you can also use LD 42, LD 48, or LD 96)
and press Enter.
3Type 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.
4Disconnect the cables from the MSDL faceplate connectors.
5Unlatch the card-locking devices, and remove the card from the module.
6Set the switches on the replacement card to match those on the defective
card.
7Insert the replacement card into the same card slot.
8Observe 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.
9If 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.

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.
NT6D80 MSDL card Page 423 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 424 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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;
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.

NT6D80 MSDL card Page 425 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 426 of 906 NT6D80 MSDL card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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:
• 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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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.
Page 430 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• The last prompt received was RELEASED (keyboard dialing).
• The last prompt received was OK, NO CARRIER, or ERROR (Hayes
dialing).

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.
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 433 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Independent storage of dialing parameters
Two dialing parameters, DCD control, and Answer mode, can be modified by
both keyboard and Hayes dialing commands.
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 <CR>;
for Hayes dialing, it can be user defined (but default to <CR>). 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.
Page 436 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.

NT7D16 Data Access card Page 441 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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 <CR>
from the remote modem for autobaud. See Figure 89 on page 442 for more
details.
Page 442 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Mode 0
This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a modem, except
Hayes-1200, for inbound and outbound modem pooling (see modes 2 and 3
for Hayes-1200 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).

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.

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.

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).
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 447 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 448 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• 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).
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 449 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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 <CR> for autobaud. The DAC
expects DCD to remain ON for as long as the data call is established.
Page 450 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Mode 4
This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to a gateway for
inbound and outbound operation. 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.

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.

Mode 5
This mode should be selected when the DAC is connected to an auto-answer
gateway for inbound Hotline operation. 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:
• 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.
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
Page 454 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 456 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 457 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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,
Page 458 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.
Page 460 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• Provide a way to select a baud rate of a Hotline call. The DAC starts the
Hotline operation without receiving a <CR> for autobaud.
• Set the DAC to operate at a fixed baud rate. The DAC does not return the
menu or Hotline unless a <CR> is received at the selected baud rate.
Normally the DAC should be selected to operate at autobaud.
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 461 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

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:
• Autobaud from 110 to 19200 bps
Call disconnection (DAC):
If the local DM user drops the call, the DAC turns
DSR, DCD, and CTS OFF for 0.2 second and

• 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.
Page 474 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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 (<CR>, <LF>).
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 <CR> will
be recognized by the DAC. All other entries are ignored, and no entries are
echoed. Once a valid <CR> 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.
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 475 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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 <CR>. 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, <CR>, and the dialing mode is
Manual (not Hotline), the DAC sends the following menu:
If the user enters <CR>, 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:

Hayes dialing
Like keyboard dialing, Hayes dialing is an interactive dialing mode with the
terminating equipment connected to the NT7D16 Data Access Card (DAC).
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)
Page 486 of 906 NT7D16 Data Access card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
— 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

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 <CR>. If Carriage Return (<CR>) 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.
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

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.

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.
ATHP Hang up voice call
ATQ n Result code (n = 0, 1; if n = 0, result codes are sent)
ATVn Verbal result (n = 0, 1; if n = 0, numeric codes are sent)
ATXn Result code selection (n = 0, 1; if n = 1, extended results)
ATSn Read S register (n = number of S register to read)
ATSn=x Write S register (n = S register number; x = new value)
ATZ Soft reset (reset to default parameters)

Note 2: Follow each command (except A/) by a carriage return (<CR>) to execute it.
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 491 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Outbound calls
The DAC supports two types of outbound data calls:
• point-to-point data calls
• calls sent through a modem without call origination capabilities
Hayes dialing does not provide for any alterations during call processing,
Ring Again, or Controlled Call Back Queueing (CCBQ) for example.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

In Figure 95 on page 501 and Figure 96 on page 502, the rectangles represent
the settings of service change parameters in LD11 that affect the desired
function. The diamonds represent the logical DAC operating mode
decisions.
Upload parameters
The system can, at any time, request information from a DAC port. The
uploaded parameters contain information about the individual card (card
type, order code, release information), as well as the status of the configured
operating parameters. Because the dialogue operations of data calls can affect
the operating parameters, this is useful to monitor and confirm port settings.
An additional parameter is listed in the uploaded information: port interface
mode (RS-232-C/RS-422). The interface is set by the use of jumpers on the
DAC, and cannot be altered by the service change.
System database requirements
To ensure proper operation of the DAC keyboard and Hayes dialing, the
system requires the following:
• The Data DN must have only one appearance.
• For access to remote hosts, the TNs class of service must allow external
calls. The Data TN must have the following in its class of service:
— Call Pickup Denied (PUD)
— Call Forward No Answer Denied (FND)
— Call Forward Busy Denied (FBD)
— Data (DTA)

Environmental
The DAC functions fully when operating within the following specified
conditions. See Table 166.
Reliability
The DAC has a predicted mean time between failure (MTBF) of 8 years at
45 degrees Celsius. The mean time to repair (MTTR) is 1 hour.
Installing the Data Access card
Cabinet system
The DAC is fully supported in any card slot in either the main or expansion
cabinet without any hardware modification. Insert the DAC into any available
card slot and secure it in place using the locklatches.
To cable out the DAC, run a standard 25-pair cable to the cross connect, or
use one of the following breakout cables in conjunction with an Amphenol
50-pin female-to-female gender converter:
• QCAD318A50-pin Amphenol to 6 female DB25 connectors
• QCAD319A50-pin Amphenol to 6 male DB25 connectors
Note: For Cabinet system, the format to be used in response to the “TN”

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Large System
In Large Systems, the DAC is fully supported in IPE modules. These special
slots on the DAC have 24-pair cables pre-wired to the Main Distribution
Frame (MDF) in card slots 0-15. Any IPE slot will support the first four ports
on the DAC if connections are made at the MDF. Most IPE modules can be
upgraded to wire 24-pair cables to the MDF for all card slots.
Note: For directions concerning the pinouts for the MDF, refer to
Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System
Installation and Configuration (553-3021-210).
Before you begin, power down:
• the IPE module only, if it is a DC-powered system
• the entire column, if it is an AC-powered system
It is recommended that you begin the installation from the right hand side
(when facing the backplane), starting with slot 0 and moving towards slots on
the left side. If you wish to add more than six DACs, and require slots 8
through 15, remove the input/output (I/O) panel. Be aware that a full shelf
installation can take up to 3 hours. You need the following equipment to
upgrade the cabling:
• A0359946 Amphenol cables
— These connectors include all the connector and screw apparatus.
— You need one cable for each DAC.
• cable ties
• wire cutters
• A3/16 nutdriver
System compatibility
To support the 24-pair requirement of the DAC, some cabling may need to be
upgraded (Table 167). See “Upgrading systems” for more information.
Ports 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the DAC work in any standard 16-pair IPE slot (connect
directly to the MDF).
NT7D16 Data Access card Page 507 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
An upgraded backplane has three shrouds for each card slot. A backplane that
cannot be upgraded has only two shrouds for each card slot.
Port configuration
Figure 97 on page 508 shows the port configurations for both the RS-232-C
and RS-422 ports. The software configuration requirements for the DAC are
shown at the end of this chapter. Responses to the prompts listed are required.
Depending on the configuration, ensure that the option plug is set for RS-232
or RS-422.

Cabling
Several cabling schemes are possible for both AILC and RILC modes.
Typical capacitance for 24- and 26-gauge cables is shown in the Tables 168
and 169. RS-232 and RS-422 transmission distance is limited by the electrical
capacitance of the cable. Low-capacitance cable carries a digital signal
further than a high-capacitance cable.
Figure 98 on page 510 shows the cabling choices available. It includes
cabling with the RS-232-C cable, associated patch panel, the RJ-11, and the
octopus cable. Each scheme can be tailored to suit individual needs, and
specific alternatives are shown in later figures.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Figure 99 shows a connection through an RJ-11 or RJ-45 jack located at the
data station. It is recommended that four wires be used similarly to the AIM
drop when using the RJ-11 jack. Another cable is required to convert the
RJ-11 or RJ-45 into DB25.
Note: It is necessary to turn over Receive Data and Send Data between
the DAC and the AILU. This is done on the TN at the MDF.
Figure 100 on page 512 illustrates the patch panel. RS-232-C cables are used
to connect the data equipment to the patch panel. This particular panel shows
two 50-pin connectors into twelve DB25. The signals from the MDF travel
on 25-pair cables, terminating at the patch panel.
Note: Use patch panels that follow the pinout of the DAC.
Figure 101 on page 513 describes an octopus cabling scheme. This cable
replaces the combined patch panel and RS-232-C cabling scheme. The
25-pair cable is split into six RS-232-C male or female connectors. This
allows direct connections to the data equipment from the I/O panel. The
octopus cable allows for the maximum segregation of the voice signals that
might otherwise be present within the same 25-pair cable.

Introduction
The Digital Line card is a voice and data communication link between the
system and Digital Telephones. It supports voice only or simultaneous voice
and data service over a single twisted pair of standard telephone wiring.
When a digital telephone is equipped with the data option, an asynchronous
or synchronous terminal or personal computer can be connected to the system
through the digital telephone.
IMPORTANT!
The NT8D02 digital line card is supported in CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and
Meridian 1.
The NTDK16 digital line card is supported ONLY in the Chassis system.
Page 528 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
The Digital Line card provides 16 voice and 16 data communication links.
NT8D02 Digital Line card
The 32 port NT8D02 Digital Line card is supported in the MG 1000S and
MG 1000S Expansion.
You can install this card in any IPE slot.
NTDK16 Digital Line card
The NTDK16 is a 48 port card supported only in the Chassis system. 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.

NTDK16 Digital Line card
The NTDK16 digital line card is equipped with 48 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
NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards Page 533 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
Figure 106
NTDK16 DLC
Page 534 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 536 of 906 NT8D02 and NTDK16 Digital Line cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Power requirements
The digital line card needs +15V DC over each loop at a maximum current of
80 mA. It requires +15V, -15V, and +5V from the backplane. The line feed
interface can supply power to one loop of varying length up to 1070 m
(3500 ft) using 24 AWG wire with a maximum allowable AC signal loss of
15.5 dB at 256 kHz, and a maximum DC loop resistance of 210 ohms;
26 AWG wire is limited to 745 m (2450 ft).
Foreign and surge voltage protections
In-circuit protection against power line crosses or lightning is not provided on
the NT8D02 Digital Line card. The NT8D02 Digital Line card does,
however, have protection against accidental shorts to –52 V dc analog lines.
When the card is used to service off-premise telephones, primary and
secondary Main Distribution Frame (MDF) protection must be installed.
Off-premise telephones served by cable pairs routed through the central
office, or crossing a public right-of-way, can be subject to a requirement for
on-card protection, and MDF protectors may not be acceptable. Check local
regulations before providing such service.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Card interfaces
The analog message waiting line card passes voice and signaling data over
DS-30X loops and maintenance data over the card LAN link. These interfaces
are discussed in “Intelligent Peripheral Equipment” on page 32.
Line interface units
The analog message waiting line card contains 16 identical and independently
configurable line interface units (also referred to as circuits). Each unit
provides 600-ohm impedance matching and a balance network in a signal
transformer/analog hybrid circuit. Circuits are also provided in each unit to
apply the ringing voltage onto the line synchronized to the ringing current
zero crossing. Signal detection circuits monitor on-hook/off-hook status and
switchhook flash detection. Four codecs are provided to perform A/D and D/
A conversion of line analog voiceband signals to digital PCM signals. Each
CODEC supports four line interface units. The following features are
common to all units on the card:
• Transmission and reception of Scan and Signaling Device (SSD)
signaling messages over a DS30X signaling channel in A10 format.
• Loopback of SSD messages and pulse code modulation (PCM) signals
for diagnostic purposes.
• Correct initialization of all features, as configured in software, at
power-up.
• Direct reporting of digits dialed (500 telephones) by collecting dial
pulses.
• Connection of –150 V dc at 1 Hz to activate message waiting lamps in
two telephones in parallel. The two telephones must be the same type or
the neon series resistor in each telephone must be 54 K ohms or greater.
• Lamp status detection (will not detect a failure of either lamp when
operating in parallel).
• Disabling and enabling of selected units for maintenance.
• 40 mA to telephones with short circuit protection.

Card control functions
Control functions are provided by the following:
• a microcontroller
• a card LAN interface
• signaling and control circuits on the analog message waiting line card
Microcontroller
The analog message waiting 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 CE CP 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
— enabling/disabling of an interrupted dial tone to indicate call waiting
— maintenance diagnostics
— transmission loss levels
Signaling and control
The signaling and control portion of the card provides circuits that establish,
supervise, and take down call connections. These circuits work with the
system CP to operate the line interface circuits during calls. The circuits
receive outgoing call signaling messages from the CP and return incoming
call status information over the DS-30X network loop.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Analog line interface
Input impedance
The impedance at tip and ring is 600 ohms with a return loss of:
• 20 dB for 200-500 Hz
• 26 dB for 500-3400 Hz
Insertion loss
On a station line-to-line connection, the total insertion loss at 1 kHz is
6 dB + 1 dB. This is arranged as 3.5 dB loss for analog to PCM, and 2.5 dB
loss for PCM to analog.
Frequency response
The loss values in Table 178 are measured relative to the loss at 1 kHz.
Message channel noise
The message channel noise C-weighted (dBrnC) on 95 percent of the
connections (line to line) with both ends terminated in 600 ohms does not
exceed 20 dBrnC.

Overload level
Signal levels exceeding +7 dBm applied to the tip and ring cause distortion in
speech transmission.
Environmental specifications
Table 181 lists the environmental specifications for the analog message
waiting line card.
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. See Communication Server 1000M and Meridian 1: Large System

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Configuration
This section outlines the procedures for configuring the switches and jumpers
on the NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card and configuring the
system software to properly recognize the card. 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
Page 562 of 906 NT8D09 Analog Message Waiting Line card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
the system for port-to-port loss. See Software Input/Output: Administration
(553-3001-311) for LD 97 service change instructions.

Introduction
Nortel is pleased to introduce the NT8D14CA Universal Trunk (XUT) card
as a replacement for the NT8D14BB card. 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.
Page 566 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Card interfaces
The NT8D14 Universal Trunk card passes voice and signaling data over
DS-30X loops, and maintenance data over the card LAN link. 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
Page 572 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 573 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 574 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
receive digits, it returns a dial tone. 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.

When attendant presses a loop key to answer the call,
the near end places a low-resistance loop between tip
and ring and removes the ring and ground detectors
from the circuit.
CO detects the change in loop resistance and removes
the ringing signal. Normal battery and ground will
remain. However, some COs may reverse battery and
ground.
Normally, no disconnection signal is returned by the CO;
normal battery and ground will remain. However, if battery
and ground were reversed when call was established,
normal battery would be restored at this time.
If far end goes on hook first, CO sends dial (or busy) tone
after timeout. CO also restores normal battery and ground
if they had been reversed when the call was established.
All tones and any battery/ground reversal are ignored by
the near end.
If near end disconnects first, it opens the loop, waits at
least 50 ms, and then reconnects the ring and ground
detectors.
Near end restores high-resistance loop when terminal A
goes on hook.

Ground start operation
Ground start operation is configured in software and implemented through
software download messages. 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.
NT8D14 Universal Trunk card Page 579 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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. When a

Note 2: The near-end provides a high-impedance (>150k ohms)

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.

When terminal B answers, ringing is tripped and CO
cuts terminal B through to trunk. Some COs may

Incoming calls
An incoming call from the CO places a low-resistance loop across the tip and
ring leads. 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.

Outgoing calls
In an outgoing call configuration, the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card is
connected to an existing PBX by a tie trunk. 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.
Note: Where no far-end answer supervision is provided, the party at the
near-end hangs up, after recognizing far-end call termination.

Senderized operation for DID and two-way loop DR trunks
Incoming calls
If the far-end is senderized, the near-end can operate in any mode: Immediate
Start (IMM), Delay Dial (DDL) or Wink (WNK) start, as assigned at the
STRI prompt in the Trunk Administration program LD 14. 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. See Figure 133 on page 598.

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.

Recorded announcement trunk operation
Note: Refer to “Multi-Channel RAN modes” on page 605 for
information on Multi-Channel RAN modes, which are not linked to a
RAN machine or a given trunk.
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.

RAN modes of operation
Figure 139 on page 606 shows the relationship of control signals to message
playback for the operating modes available in announcement machines. 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.
Page 606 of 906 NT8D14 Universal Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
The Route Data Block LD 16 is used to configure a RAN route in
Multi-Channel Level Start/Control mode, using the following response:
RTYP = MLSS

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Trunk members are provisioned in the Trunk Data Block LD 14.
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.

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.
Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for
instructions on service change programs.

(power cross) specifications and FCC Part 68 requirements.
Environmental specifications
Table 187 lists the environmental specifications for the NT8D14 Universal

Release control
Release control establishes which end of a call (near, far, either, joint, or
originating) disconnects the call. 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.

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

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.

Port-to-port loss configuration
Loss parameters are selected on the NT8D14 Universal Trunk card by a
switchable pad controlled by codec emulation software. 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

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.

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.

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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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

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.

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 shorte
d
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 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 an
d
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 5:
When the system is connected to an electromechanical trunk using 4-wire operation, a 4µF capacitor must be connected from the A1 to
B1 lead at each end of the trunk. (These may already be installed.) It is also recommended that a 6µF capacitor be connected in series with the
balancing resistance.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Card control functions
Control functions are provided by a microcontroller, a card LAN, and
signaling and control circuits on the E&M trunk card.
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
Page 640 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
• 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)
NT8D15 E&M Trunk card Page 641 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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).

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Idle state
For E&M signaling, in the idle state the M lead is ground and the E lead is an
open circuit.
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).

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
for a tandem connection where the originating end is senderized and the route
is over a CO trunk (CCSA not applicable).
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Connector pin assignments
The E&M trunk card brings the four analog trunks to the 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 Main Distribution Frame
(MDF) by 25-pair cables.
Telephone trunks connect to the E&M trunk card at the MDF using a wiring
plan similar to that used for line cards.
A typical connection example is shown in Figure 153 on page 657. A list of
the connections to the E&M trunk card in the various 2-wire modes is shown
in Table 206. A list of the connections to the E&M trunk card in the various
4-wire modes is shown in Table 207 on page 656.
See the Communication Server 1000S: Installation and Configuration
(553-3031-210) for complete I/O connector information and wire
assignments for each tip/ring pair.

Configuration
Each of the four trunk circuits on the E&M trunk card can be individually
configured for trunk type, companding mode, and port-to-port loss
compensation. Configuring the card requires both jumper changes and
configuration software service entries.
The locations of the jumpers are shown in Figure 154 on page 659.
Jumper settings
The NT8D15 E&M Trunk card serves various transmission requirements.
The four units on the card can operate in A-Law or µ-Law companding
modes, which are selected by 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.
See Table 208 on page 660.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Software service entries
The trunk type is selected by making service change entries in Route Data
Block, Automatic Trunk Maintenance (LD 16). 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
Page 662 of 906 NT8D15 E&M Trunk card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Applications
The optional applications, features and signaling arrangements for each trunk
are assigned through unique route and trunk data blocks. 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:
• 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.

Table 210 shows the insertion loss from IPE port to IPE port.
Paging trunk operation
When used in the paging mode, a trunk is connected to a customer-provided
paging amplifier system (not zone selectable). When the trunk is accessed by
dial-up or attendant-key operation, it provides a loop closure across control
leads PG and A. See Figure 156 on page 666. In a typical application, this
transfers the input of the paging amplifier system to the transmission path of
the trunk.

Introduction
The NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface (SDI) paddle board provides two
RS-232-C serial ports. 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
Page 668 of 906 NT8D41AA Serial Data Interface Paddle Board
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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:
• the ENB/DIS switch is set to disable
• both ports are disabled in software
• the ports are not configured in the configuration record

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.
System considerations
In dual-processor systems, the SDI paddle board will behave differently
depending on which backplane socket it is installed in. 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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

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”.

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. See Figure 160 on page 679.

Other logic on the card includes baud rate generators, RS-232-C driver/
receiver pairs, and the switches and logic needed to configure each UART.
System considerations
In dual-processor systems, the QSDI paddle board will behave differently
depending on which backplane socket it is installed. 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
a socket in the CPU area of the backplane allows it to work only when that
CPU is active.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
The QSDI 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 QSDI paddle board can also be installed into a socket in the CPU area of
the backplane (supported in NT6D39AA shelves only). This is done when
performing maintenance or an upgrade on the system.
The QSDI paddle board is plugged into the CPU that is not the active system
CPU. One of the serial ports on the QSDI 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 through port 4 are brought out on connector
J1 through J4 respectively. The pinouts for each port are identical to those for
each of the other three ports. Table 215 shows the pin assignment that applies
to each connector.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Configuring the QSDI paddle board
Configuring the QSDI paddle board to work in a system consists of setting
these option switches for each serial port:
•Baud rate
• Port address
• DTE/DCE mode
The QSDI paddle board has fourteen option switches, SW2–13, SW15-16.
Figure 161 on page 683 identifies the location of option switches on the QSDI
paddle board. Learn how to set these switches in the following sections.
Once the board has been installed, the system software must be configured to
recognize it. Instructions for doing this are found in the section titled
“Software service changes” on page 691.
Option switch settings
Baud rate
Switches SW13, SW10, SW11, and SW12 determine the baud rate for ports
1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. See the settings for these switches in Table 216.

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. See Figure 163 on page 693.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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.
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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 714 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
The NTAK09 circuit card conforms to safety and performance standards for
foreign and surge voltage protection in an internal environment.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
D-channel interface
The D-channel interface is a 64 Kbps maximum, full-duplex, serial bit-stream
configured as a DCE device. 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
Page 718 of 906 NTAK09 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
Receiver
The receiver extracts data and clock from an incoming data stream and
outputs clock and synchronized data. At worst case DSX-1 signal levels, the
line receiver will operate correctly with up to 655 feet of ABAM cable
between the card and the external DS1 signal source.
Connector pinout
The connection to the external digital carrier is through a 15-position male
D-type connector. See Table 233.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Clock controller interface
The clock controller interface provides the recovered clock from the external
digital facility to the clock controller daughterboard through the backplane.
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.
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.

NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 725 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 726 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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.

If a coaxial interface is required, use NT5K85 in conjunction with the
NTBK05.
Channel associated signaling
Channel associated signaling means that each traffic carrying channel has its
own signaling channel permanently associated with it. 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.

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
NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card Page 729 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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).
IMPORTANT!
Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller
clocked to an external reference clock.
Page 730 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 732 of 906 NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Introduction
Digital trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock
source results in an equivalent shift in all parts of the network.
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
Page 736 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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:
• 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
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.
NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 737 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• 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.
Page 738 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

(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.

NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 739 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 740 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
Page 742 of 906 NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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
NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard Page 743 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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:

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.
Page 746 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
IMPORTANT!
Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller
clocked to an external reference clock.

Switch SW4 – Carrier Shield Grounding
This switch enables for the selective grounding of the Tx / Rx pairs of the
carrier cable. Closing the switch (down position) applies Frame Ground
(FGND) to the coaxial carrier cable shield, creating a 75 ohms unbalanced
configuration. This applies only to the NTBK05CA cable.
Note: The usual method is to ground the outer conductor of the receive
coaxial signal.
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

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).
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 753 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Signaling interface
The signaling interface consists of the A07 DS-30X signaling controller. 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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.
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 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:
• Receive data output
• transmit data input
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 757 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
• receive clock output
• transmit clock output
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.
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.

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.
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 759 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 760 of 906 NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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.
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 761 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

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.

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.
Page 770 of 906 NTBK22 MISP card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NTBK22 MISP card Page 771 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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: 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.
IMPORTANT!
Each MG 1000S that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller
clocked to an external reference clock.

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
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 779 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Signaling interface
The signaling interface consists of the A07 DS-30X signaling controller. 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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.

Carrier Shield grounding (Switch SW4)
Table 253 lists the Carrier Shield ground switch settings.
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.

NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card Page 783 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 784 of 906 NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
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.

— 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 788 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard Page 789 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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
Page 790 of 906 NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel Handler daughterboard
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Physical description
The NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk cards have
eight units. 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
Page 794 of 906 NTCK16 Generic Central Office Trunk cards
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
• 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.
NTCK16 Generic Central Office Trunk cards Page 795 of 906
Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

Applications
Periodic Pulse Metering
All trunk units on the NTCK16AX trunk card can be individually configured
to support the Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) feature.
Note: PPM is available on the NTCK16AX trunk card. It is not
supported on the NTCK16BX trunk card.
PPM allows the user of a telephone to keep an accurate record of Central
Office calls for billing or administration purposes.

Detection limits
Pulses detected by the NTCK16AX circuit card must be within the following
limits:
Busy tone detect
Busy tone is sent by the Central Office to indicate the release of an established
call.
Detection limits
The NTCK16AX and NTCK16BX generic Central Office trunk cards can
detect busy tone within the following limits:
Loss switching
The Generic XFCOT is based on the XFCOT design, which is using a static
pad download algorithm by default for its loss plan.
The generic XFCOT has to be set explicitly to a Dynamic Pad Switching
mode to make it compliant with the standard North American Dynamic Pad
Switching mode.
Frequency 11 880 to 12 120 Hz
Level 105 to 1100 mVrms
Note: The pack should not be
used to detect levels of 1100
mVrms or greater a Tip and Ring,
as this may result in noise.

Equivalencies
The following equivalencies do apply:
• XFCOT COT SHL is equivalent with XUT COT TRC
• XFCOT COT LOL is equivalent with XUT COT NTC.
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.

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.
Page 812 of 906 NTDK20 Small System Controller card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.
• 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)

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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. It provided acceptable transmission
between the Call Server and the MG 1000S located up to 40 kms apart.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Note: If not connecting point-to-point, connect the Call Server and
MG 1000S using a straight-through Ethernet UTP Cat 5 cable.
Call Servers can be connected to MG 1000S systems in the following ways:
• Use 100BaseT to connect to the LAN for voice distribution over a data
network.
• Use 100BaseT cable if connected point-to-point (directly) to the
MG 1000S. The NTTK34AA crossover cable must be used. MG 1000S
systems can be located up to 100 meters from the Call Server.
• Use Media Conversion devices (third party converters) to convert
100BaseT to fiber for distances from 100 m to 40 km.
See Figure 173 on page 818.

Security device
The NTDK20 SSC card in each MG 1000S must contain a NTDK57DA
Security device, a remote dongle (NT_Rem) which is keyed to match the
NTDK57AA Security device on the Call Server and a standard dongle
(NT_STD). This maintains the requirement of a single keycode for each
system. Refer to Figure 170 on page 813 for the location of the device.
This security scheme provides the following:
• enables the system to operate as a single system when all links are up.
• enables the MG 1000S to continue operating with its existing
configuration in the event of a failure of the Call Server, or the failure of
the link to the Call Server from the MG 1000S.
• prevents users from configuring or using unauthorized TNs or features.
The MG 1000S security device provides the following capabilities for the
MG 1000S:
• System software can be installed but no calls can be processed or features
activated until communication with the Call Server has been established
and a match between the security ID of the Call Server and the
MG 1000S has been confirmed.
• System software can be upgraded.
Note: Local data dump, LD 43 commands, and LD 143 commands are
not permitted.

SDI ports
The NTDK20 SSC card in both the Call Server and the MG 1000S systems
contains three SDI ports used to connect on-site terminals or remote terminals
through a modem. Table 260 shows the port default settings.
Conferencing
Thirty-two conference channels are provided by the NTDK20 SSC card’s
conference devices. Conference capability can be increased by mounting
expansion daughterboards on the NTDK20 SSC card. Each dual IP
daughterboard increases the total number of conference channels by 32. The
maximum number of conference ports is 96.
Each conference device provides 32 ports of conferencing capabilities (one
conference participant for each port). A conference call can have three to six
participants. For example, there could be six 5-party conferences on each
device, or four 6-party conferences plus two 3-party conferences. It is not
possible to conference between conference devices.
10BaseT port
The Call Server provides one 10BaseT connection to a Local Area Network
(LAN) to interface with Management software applications such as OTM and
CallPilot. The MG 1000S SSC 10BaseT port, Port 1, is disabled by default.
To use the 10BaseT port, the port must be assigned a unique IP address and
the port must be enabled from the Call Server.

To provide CEMUX communication with the card, changes are also required
to create an I/O entry for the 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. Up to four digital trunks are
supported in each MG 1000S.
Note 1: For CISPR B group cabinets, the active Clock Controller
(NTAK20) can only occupy slots 1-3. For FCC and/or CISPR A group
cabinets, this limitation does not exist - the Clock Controller can occupy
any available slot 1-9.
Note 2: On non-ECM system cabinets, the NTAK20 may be placed in
slots 1-9. On cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the active NTAK20
must be placed in slots 1-3 (slots 4-10 may not be used).
Physical description
The NTRB21 card uses a standard 9.5" by 12.5" multi-layer printed circuit
board with buried power and ground layers.The clock controller
daughterboard is fastened by standoffs and connectors.
The NTRB21 card has seven faceplate LEDs. The first five LEDs are
associated with the NTRB21 card. The remaining two LEDs are associated

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Microprocessor
The NTRB21 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 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
• receive clock output
• transmit clock output
The bit rate of the receive and transmit clocks can vary slightly from each
other. This is 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 unless the PRI loop is enabled.
On the NTRB21 use switch 1, position 1 to select either the D-channel feature
or the DPNSS feature, as follows:
OFF = D-channel
The ON setting for DPNSS (U.K.) is not supported at this time.
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 Digital Signal – Level 1 (DS-1) transmit equalizer enables
the cabling distance to be extended from the card to the Digital Signal
Page 836 of 906 NTRB21 DTI/PRI/DCH TMDI card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
Cross-connect – Level 1 (DSX-1), or LD-1. Equalizers are switch selectable
through dip-switches. The settings are shown in Table 264.
Receiver
The receiver extracts data and clock from an incoming data stream and
outputs clock and synchronized data. At worst case DSX-1 signal levels, the
line receiver operates correctly with up to 655 feet of ABAM cable between
the card and the external DS-1 signal source.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Connector pinout
The connection to the external digital carrier is through a 15 position Male
D-type connector.
NTAK20 Clock Controller (CC) daughterboard
Digital Trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock
source results in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all parts
of the network.
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.

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.
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.

Introduction
The QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface (ESDI) card gives the
CS 1000S, CS 1000M, and Meridian 1 switch two fully synchronous
high-speed serial ports.
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.
Page 852 of 906 QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• the ENB/DIS switch is set to DIS
• both ports are disabled in software

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
The QPC513 ESDI card is an intelligent controller. 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
Applications
The QPC513 Enhanced Serial Data Interface card is used any time that a
high-speed, fully synchronous serial data communication channel is needed.
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.

Introduction
The QPC841 Quad Serial Data Interface (QSDI) card provides four
RS-232-C serial ports between the system and external devices. 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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• 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

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.

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.
Table 273 shows the pinouts for connector J1, and Table 274 on page 875
shows the pinouts for connector J2.

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. Refer to Equipment

Introduction
The TDS/DTR card function was incorporated into the NTDK20 SSC.
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

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

Introduction
This chapter describes the LAPB Data Link Control protocol used with the
QPC513 ESDI 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
Page 902 of 906 Appendix A: LAPB Data Link Control protocol
553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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:
• 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.

Circuit Card Description and Installation
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.
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.

553-3001-211 Standard 3.00 August 2005
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.

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
