NT8D72 PRI2 25
NTBK51 Downloadable D-Channel Daughterboard
The NTBK51 is a two port Downloadable D-Channel Daughterboard (DDCH)
that has been introduced as an option to the NT6D80 MSDL, the NT5D97
dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card, or the NT5D12 dual-port 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card.
The NTBK51 supports all the features of the existing 4 port MSDL
(NT6D80), and eliminates the need for an external DCH card and associated
cables for MSDL applications. The NTBK51 can support a maximum of 32
(16*2) MSDL type D-Channels per system, unlike the MSDL which can
support a maximum of 64.
Note 1: Only one version, the NTBK51AA, can be used with the
NT5D97, or the NT5D12. The NTBK51BA version has only 30+30 pin
connectors (instead of 40+30 pins in the AA version). The missing 10
pins in the BA version prohibits the use of port 0 on the NT5D97, or
NT5D12 card.
Note 2: The software allocation for NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to
the MSDL. It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel
functionality only.
Note 3: Port 0 has to be an even loop on the DDP2, and Port 1 has to
be an odd loop. Port 2 and Port 3 should not be configured.
The connection between the dual-port cards and the DDCH daughterboard
is made using two headers: one 30 pin and one 40 pin connector.

28 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview
Echo canceller interface
Echo cancellers are required only on satellite transmission circuits. The
echo canceller detects the length of the loop, and then cancels out reflected
transmission. (Callers will not hear echoes of their own voices reflecting
back to them from the far end of the call.)
The echo canceller’s control protocol must conform with that of the Tellabs
Model 251. Both the echo canceller and the PRI circuit card act as Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE).
QMT21 High Speed Data Module
The QMT21 High Speed Data Module supports the 64K Clear Data feature.
(It allows data terminating equipment (DTE) to send and receive 64-Kb/s
clear data.) The QMT21B is required for Large System to Large System
configurations.
QPC720 PRI for 1.5/2.0 Mb gateway
Systems which are being used as a 1.5/2.0 Mb Gateway, one or more
QPC720 (1.5 Mb) Primary Rate Interface circuit cards will also be needed.
Note: Older vintages of the QPC720 PRI cannot be used for Gateway
applications. The 1.5/2.0 Mb Gateway feature requires the use of a
QPC720 circuit card with firmware updated to provide modified PAD
values.
Clock operation for the NT8D72
There are two types of clock operation—tracking mode and free-run mode.
Tracking mode
In tracking mode, the PRI loop supplies an external clock reference to a
clock controller. Two PRI 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 6 "Clock controller primary and secondary tracking"
(page 29), 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.

Clock controller primary and secondary tracking
Free run (non-tracking) mode
The clock synchronization of the system 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 alarm
Reference clock errors
The system 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
system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which
reference clock is being tracked.

30 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview
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 PRI 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:
1. 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.
2. 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:
1. Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined.
2. If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored
to the secondary reference clock if defined.
Note: If the switch is put into free-run mode by the craftsperson, it will
resume tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option
has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has
been "undefined" in the database.
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:
1. 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.
2. If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock,
it switches to free run.

NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 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
Multipurpose 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.
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).

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 onboard DDCH is present
but disabled. When the dual colored LED is green, it indicates the onboard
DDCH is present and enabled. If a DDCH is not configured on the DDP2
card, this lamp is not lit.

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 system 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.

50 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview
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 18 "Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking"
(page 50), 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.
Figure 18
Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking
Free run (non-tracking) mode The clock synchronization of the system
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
The system 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
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.
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 NT5D12 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock
source, i.e., four references in total. NT5D12 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 19 "Clock Controller - Option 1" (page
54) through Figure 22 "Clock Controller - Option 4" (page 57) on pages
Figure 18 "Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking" (page 50) to
Figure 22 "Clock Controller - Option 4" (page 57).
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" (page 45) for more information.
Table 13 "Clock Controller options - summary" (page 52) summarizes the
clocking options. Table 14 "Clock Controller options - description" (page

D-Channel and MSDL interface
The connection between the DDP card and the DCHI or MSDL is via 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 DCHI or MSDL. These are:
Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP card, to indicate to the
DCHI or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational.
Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCHI or MSDL, to indicate to
the DDP card that the DCHI or MSDL are ready to use the D-Channel
link.
Table 15 "DCHI/MSDL Receiver Ready control signals" (page 58) indicates
how the RR control signal operates with regard to the DDP status.

System capacity and performance
Physical capacity
Each DDP card occupies one slot on the network shelf. It supports two
digital trunk circuits and two network loops. The total number of DDP cards
per system is limited by the number of network loops, physical capacity of
the shelf, number of DTI/PRI 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.
It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel functionality only.
The system has a total capacity of 16 addresses (Device Addresses or
DNUM) that can be reserved for DCHI card, MSDL card or DDCH card. One
exception is DNUM 0 which is commonly assigned to the System Monitor.
No two different D-Channel providers can share the same DNUM. Hence,
the combined maximum number of DCHI, MSDL and DDCH cards in the
system is 16.
The DCHI and DDCH have two D-Channel units, the MSDL has four.
Therefore the total number of D-Channels is derived by the following formula:
Total_Num_DCH-Units = Num_DCHIx2 + Num_DDCHx2 + Num_MSDLx4
Therefore, Total_Num_DCH-Units in any given system is between 0-63.

CPU capacity
Using a NT512 DDP card instead of DTI/PRI cards does not increase
the load on the system CPU. The DDP replaces an ENET card and two
DTI/PRI cards, it emulates the ENET card and the overall CPU capacity is
not impacted by usage of DDP card instead of a DTI/PRI card.

Clock There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.
Tracking mode
In tracking mode, the DDP loop supplies an external clock reference to a
clock controller. Two DDP 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.

NT5D12 Dual-port DTI/PRI 71
As shown in Figure 30 "Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking"
(page 71), 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. Lock the
clock controllers to the reference clock.
Figure 30
Clock Controller primary and secondary tracking
Free run (non-tracking) mode
The clock synchronization of the system 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
The system 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.)

72 ISDN Primary Rate Interface equipment overview
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
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 DDP 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.
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.

NT5D12 Dual-port DTI/PRI 73
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 PRI, DTI, etc. PRI cards
such as the QPC720 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 QPC720.
The NT5D12 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock
source, i.e., four references in total. NT5D12 can thus supply Clk0 and Clk1
from Port 0 and Clk0 and Clk1 from Port 1. Either Port 0 or Port 1 can
originate the primary source, as shown in Figure 31 "Clock Controller -
Option 1" (page 75) through Figure 34 "Clock Controller - Option 4" (page
78) to Figure 34 "Clock Controller - Option 4" (page 78).
There is one new Clock Controller cable required for the new DDP card,
which is available in four sizes; this is the NTCG03AA/AB/AC/AD. Refer to
"Reference clock cables" (page 68) for more information.
"Reference clock cables" (page 45) summarizes the clock options. Table

conditioned for 64K before D-channels can be brought up.
Note: To configure J1, the asynchronous port on the DCHI card, refer
to the documentation of the application being interfaced, and to Circuit
Card Reference (NN43001-311). J1 configuration is not described in
this technical document.

DIP switch settings
The NT6D11AB/AE/AF has three sets of DIP switches. Each port has its
own bank of 10 DIP switches (SW1 & SW2) to select the port address (8
bits) and mode of operation (2 bits). SW1 is used for port 0 settings, SW2 is
used for port 1 settings. SW3 is used to select the D-channel protocol. Port
0 is used to select whether the asynchronous ESDI port is be disabled or
not. Port 1 is used to select the standard or expanded D-channel addressing
mode on the NT6D11AB/AE/AF.
The DIP switches are located as shown by Figure 35 "NT6D11 DIP
switches" (page 80).

NTBK51 DDCH installation and removal
Contents This section contains information on the following topics:
"Introduction" (page 91)
"Install NTBK51 DDCH on NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card" (page 91)
"Remove NTBK51 DDCH from NT5D12 dual-port DTI/PRI" (page 94)
Introduction This chapter provides installation and removal procedures for the NTBK51
Downloadable D-channel Daughterboard, the NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2
card, and the NT5D12 dual-port 1.5 Mb DTI/PRI card on all Large Systems.
Note: The only version of the NTBK51 DDCH that can be used on an
NT5D97, or NT5D12 installed on a Large System, is the NTBK51AA.
Vintage NTBK51BA cannot be used, due to a different pin configuration
(the NTBK51BA is used on Small Systems.)
Before beginning an installation:
Consult the Spares Planning (NN3001-253) document and follow the
instructions.
Bring spares of all cables and boards.
Remember that test procedures require a 24-hour minimum bit error-rate
testing before being used.
Remember that either the DDCH, the MSDL, or NT5D97, or NT5D12
card can be installed first. However, NT5D97 PRI2 loops, and NT5D12
PRI loops, must be configured in software before defining DCH links.
Install NTBK51 DDCH on NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
Installation procedures for the NTBK51 DDCH are the same for all Large
Systems. Use Procedure 5 "Install the NTBK51 on the NT5D97 dual-port

92 NTBK51 DDCH installation and removal
The DDCH can be mounted on any NT5D97 DDP2 card. Set the address
for the DDCH (see the switch settings section to set the address). If a
DDCH is present on a DDP2 card then an external D-channel should not be
connected to J6. If a DDCH is present the LED "DDCH" lights up.
CAUTION
The static discharge bracelet located inside the cabinet must be
worn before handling circuit cards. Failure to wear the bracelet
can result in damage to the circuit cards.
Procedure 5
Install the NTBK51 on the NT5D97 dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card
Step Action
1Unpack and inspect the DDCH daughterboard.
The DDCH comes with four standoffs so that it can be mounted
onto the NT5D97. These are easily pushed into four corresponding
mounting holes on the DDP2.
2Mount the DDCH so that it mates with P1 and P2 on the NT5D97
motherboard.
Note: P 1 and P 2 contain (40+30) sockets as the NTBK51AA
respective pins (40+30), which enables the technician to "mate"
them. This is applicable for the NT5D97AA/AB. The NT5D97AD
has 44+34 sockets. In order to place the NTBK51AA (40+30
pins), place the NTBK51AA inside P1 and P2. Start from their
lower edge. (The remaining "free" sockets (4+4) in P1 and P2
are in their upper edge.)
3Set the DDP2 ENB/DIS faceplate switch to Enable (ON). The DDCH
LED then flashes three times.

Replace the MSDL
Replacement procedures for the MSDL card are the same for all Large
Systems. Use Procedure 10 "Replace the MSDL card" (page 98) below.
Procedure 10
Replace the MSDL card
Step Action
1Disable the MSDL card in LD 96.
2Disconnect MSDL to PRI cables.
3Remove the faulty MSDL card.
4Unpack and inspect the new MSDL card.
5Set the MSDL switch settings to correspond to Table 28 "MSDL
switch settings" (page 97) and Figure 40 "MSDL card layout" (page
97).
6Insert the new MSDL card into the selected card slot of the module
following the card guides.
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.
If the LED turns on and stays on continuously without flashing
three times, the card can be defective. Go to step 11.

8Connect the appropriate cable between the NT6D80 and the PRI
card MSDL interface.
9Enable the MSDL card in LD 96.
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 red LED does
not flash three times, the card is defective and must be replaced.

"Introduction" (page 101)
"PRI circuit pack locations" (page 101)
"Cable requirements" (page 102)
"Switch settings" (page 120)

Introduction This chapter contains information on how to install the 2.0 Mb NT8D72 and
the 1.5 Mb QPC720 PRI cards on all Large Systems.
Information on how to install the dual-port cards NT5D97 and NT5D12 is
contained in this document.
PRI circuit pack locations
The PRI circuit pack occupies two adjacent slots on a shelf. As many as
five circuit packs can be plugged into an empty Network shelf, along with a
Power Converter circuit pack. Specific locations will depend on available
space.
Note 1: Due to physical width, Bus Terminating Units (BTUs) and PRIs
cannot fit next to each other on a shelf.

102 NT8D72 and QPC720 PRI card installation
Note 2: This chapter includes instructions for installing an additional
network shelf on a system (when no vacant Network slots are available
to install PRI packs, additional network shelves can replace Intelligent
Peripheral Equipment shelves located on the rear of the Common
Equipment or Disk shelves). Refer to "Install an additional network
shelf" (page 125).
Cable requirements
Shielded 22 AWG (0.644 mm) cables are recommended for connecting
the PRI to the crossconnect point. This cable consists of two twisted-pair
conductors.
The transmit and the receive pairs must be enclosed in a polyvinyl jacket.
This type of cable is commonly referred to as "6-conductor" cable. The
cable should be grounded at the crossconnect point.
In addition to twisted-pair conductors, 75-ohm coaxial cable can also be
used to provide connection to the office repeater or line terminating unit
(LTU).
For manufacture cables of lengths different than those of the standard
cables provided, see "Nonstandard cables" on "Nonstandard cables" (page
295) of this practice.
For the 2.0 Mb NT8D72 PRI card, see Figure 41 "NT8D72(Half Group
cabling) on Half and Single Group systems without an echo canceller"
(page 103),Figure 42 "NT8D72 (Half Group cabling) for Half and Single
Group systems, with an echo canceller" (page 104),Figure 43 "NT8D72
(Single Group cabling) for Half and Single Group systems, without an echo
canceller" (page 105), and Figure 44 "NT8D72 (Single Group cabling) for
Half and Single Group systems, with an echo canceller" (page 106) for Half
Group and Single Group cabling arrangements applying to the system; also,
refer to Table 52 "NTBK51AA DCH switches for NT5D97AD" (page 138).
For the 2.0 NT8D72 on a Multi Group arrangement, see Figure 45 "NT8D72
(Multi Group cabling) for Multi Group systems without an echo canceller"
(page 107) and Figure 46 "NT8D72 (Multi Group cabling) for Multi Group
systems with an echo canceller" (page 108); also refer to Table 30 "Cable
for the NT8D72 PRI card for Multi Group systems" (page 116).
For the 1.5 Mb QPC720 PRI card on Half Group and Single Group systems,
see Figure 47 "QPC720 (Half Group cabling) for Multi Group systems
without an echo canceller" (page 109),Figure 48 "QPC720 (Half Group

Port definitions
Since the NT5D97 card is a dual-card, it equips two ports; these ports can
be defined in the following combinations:

Case Scenarios for replacing a digital trunk NT8D72BA, QPC536E,
or NTCK43 by a DDP2 card
The following discussion describes possible scenarios when replacing a
digital trunk NT8D72BA PRI2 card or QPC536E DTI2 card or NTCK43 Dual
PRI card configuration with a NT5D97 DDP2 card configuration.
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 a 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.

NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings 129
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 reassigned, 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.
Note: 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" (page 129) for DIP switch setting).
NT5D97AA/AB DIP switch settings
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.

therefore, ports 2 and 3 must not be defined when using the NTBK51AA.
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, and NT5K35AA DCH
card or the NT6D80 MSDL.
When configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 in DTI2 outgoing dial pulse mode,
a Digit Outpulsing patch is required.

Scenarios for replacement of a digital trunk card (QPC720/QPC472)
by a DDP card
The following discussion describes possible scenarios when replacing a
digital trunk QPC720 PRI card or QPC472 DTI card configuration with a
NT5D12 DDP card configuration.
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
DDP card, which is plugged into the CE 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 the
network loop location.
In this case, the QPC414 should not be removed. The digital trunk is
removed and the DDP card is plugged into one of the two empty slots.
Case 3 - The CE 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 reassigned, 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 NT5D12 DDP.

Note in all cases - If a QPC720 card is being replaced by a DDP card, the
D-channel Handler or MSDL can be either reconnected to the DDP card, or
removed if an onboard NTBK51AA DDCH card is used.
NT5D12 switch settings
The NT5D12 card is equipped with 6x2 sets of DIP switches for trunk
parameters settings for port0 and port1 respectively. Additionally, the
NT5D12 card is equipped with one set of four DIP switches for the Ring
Ground setting and one set of eight DIP switches for the D-channel Handler
parameters setting.
The DIP switches are used for setting of default values of certain
parameters. The general purpose switches are read by the firmware which
sets the default values accordingly.
The following parameters are being set by the DIP switches. Factory setups
are shown in bold.
General Purpose Switches
A per-trunk set of four DIP switches provides the default setting for
operational modes. Switch set S9 is used for Trunk 0. Switch set S15 is used
for Trunk 1. Refer to Table 55 "General purpose switch settings" (page 145)’.

—End—
Configure the NT5D12 DDP
After the NT5D12 DDP has been installed, it can be configured using the
same procedures as for the standard QPC720 PRI card.
Consider the following when configuring the NT5D12 DDP card:
The system 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.
Port 0 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 0 of the
NT5D12 DDP card, and Port 1 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined
to work with Loop 1 of the NT5D12. 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 NT5D12 loops for the NTBK51AA DDCH,
and the other loop for the QPC757 DCHI or the NT6D80 MSDL.

156 Clock Controller description and installation
Introduction This chapter introduces the NTRB53 Clock Controller, and provides
procedures on how to install this clock controller on Large Systems.
The NTRB53 Clock Controller replaces the QPC471H and QPC775F in
new systems. QPC471H and QPC775F Clock Controllers continue to be
supported.
Note: The NTRB53 Clock Controller cannot be combined with a
QPC775 or a QPC471 card in one system
The illustrations used in the description section depict a Small System.
However, the system can also be representative of a Large System.
Description This section provides an overview on the use of clock controllers. For Large
Systems, the following clock controllers are supported:
NTRB53
QPC471
QPC775
Note: Clock controllers cannot be mixed in one system.
The NTRB53 Clock Controller is available for all markets. The QPC471
Clock Controller is available for U.S. markets. Vintages A through G of the
QPC471 Clock Controller can be used in one system; vintage H of QPC471
Clock Controllers cannot be mixed with clock controllers of other vintages.
The QPC775E Clock Controller card is available for only Canadian and
International markets.
Need for synchronization
Digital trunking requires synchronized clocking so that a shift in one clock
source will result in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all
parts of the network.
When digital signals are being transported over a communication link,
the receiving end must operate at the same frequency (data rate) as
the originating end to prevent loss of information. This is referred to
as link synchronization. If both ends of a communication link are not
in synchronization, data bit slips occur and therefore a loss of data
results. In general, accurate timing is very important, but more importantly
synchronized timing is a must for reliable data transfer.

Release 5.5 7 December 2007
Copyright © 2003-2007, Nortel Networks
.
Description 157
When only two switches are interconnected, synchronization can be
achieved by operating the two systems in a master/slave mode whereby one
system derives its timing from the other. However, in a network of digital
systems, slips can be better prevented by forcing all digital systems to use
a common reference clock (see Figure 59 "Hierarchical Synchronization"
(page 159)).
Supported Clock Controllers
For Large Systems, the following clock controllers are supported:
NTRB53
QPC471
QPC775
NTRB53 Clock Controller
The NTRB53 Clock Controller is a replacement for the QPC471 and
QPC775 Clock Controllers. The NTRB53 clock controller retains existing
functionality.
Software configuration of the clock remains unchanged. A PSDL object
allows field upgrades of the clock’s firmware. Overlay changes allow for
force download and status checking. Support for the IDC command and
hardware inventory are also included.
System Initialization During system initialization, the system software will
verify if the clock controllers equipped in the system are the downloadable
clock controllers (NTRB53) or not. If the clock controllers are identified as
the downloadable clock controller cards, then both downloadable clock
controller cards will be checked for the software version number they are
running with. This is compared with the version number of the PSDL file
stored in the system software database.
If there is a mismatch between the two version numbers and the system
database has the higher version number, the card will be put in the PSDL
downloading tree. Once the entry is added in the PSDL tree, the preprocess
step is done. The next step is for the system to initiate the downloading in
the background, using the PSDL tree. As soon as the download complete
message is received from the card, the CPU sends a message to reset the
clock controller card so that it boots with the new software. Once a self-test
is complete the core sends an enable base message to enable the card.
Maintenance Overlays Downloading can be initiated from LD 60 for the
inactive clock controller card as part of the enabling sequence of the card. A
download can be forced by specifying the optional parameter FDL (Force
Download) when enabling the card. At the prompt, enter:

ENL CC x FDL Enable Clock in side x with the force download option
If the optional parameter is not specified, then downloading is conditional.
This means that the version number of the loadware on the clock controller
card will be checked against the version number stored on the system disk.
If a mismatch is found and the version number in the system software
database is higher, then downloading will be initiated for that card. The entry
for the card is not added to the PSDL tree at this time. Instead, downloading
is initiated on a single card and only that card will be allowed to perform
the force download option.
QPC471 and QPC775 Clock Controllers
Clock Controllers QPC471 and QPC775 will continue to function with:
CS 1000M HG systems
CS 1000M SG systems
CS 1000M MG systems
Note: "Description" (page 156) for market and application availability
information.
Synchronization methods
There are two common methods of operation for maintaining timing
coordination between switching systems, Plesiosynchronous and
Mesosynchronous.
Plesiosynchronous operation
In a Plesiosynchronous operation, nodal clocks run independently (free run)
at the same nominal frequency. There are frequency differences between
clocks resulting in frame slips (see "Frame slip" (page 160).) The magnitude
of frame slips are directly proportional to the frequency difference. Slips are
inevitable but can be minimized by using very stable clocks and elastic
stores or buffers. These buffers are capable of absorbing a certain number
of data bits to compensate for slight variances in clock frequencies.
Mesosynchronous operation
In a Mesosynchronous operation, nodal clocks are continuously and
automatically locked to an external reference clock. With this method, frame
slips can be eliminated if elastic stores are large enough to compensate for
transmission variances. Mesosynchronous operation is virtually slip free.
Whenever possible the system uses the Mesosynchronous mode of
operation by using the clock controller circuit cards to lock onto an external
reference source (such as the Central Office, another PBX, and so on).
This statement is true unless the system is used as a Master in an
independent/private network (no digital links to a higher Node Category).

Description 159
In an isolated private network, the clock controller can operate in free run
mode and act as a master clock to be tracked by other PBX systems in
the private network.
Hierarchical synchronization
Figure 59 "Hierarchical Synchronization" (page 159) provides a general
view of the Digital Network Clock Synchronization including the four stratum
level Node Categories. Stratum 1 being the most accurate and Stratum 4
being the least accurate. System clocking meets Node Category E Stratum
4 requirements. Also shown are ways of providing a Secondary Clock
Source while preventing timing loops.

Stratum levels
In a digital network, nodes are synchronized using a priority master/slave
method. Digital nodes are ranked in Stratum levels 1 to 5. Each node is
synchronized to the highest ranking node in its neighborhood with which it
has a direct link. Refer to Table 62 "Node categories and stratum levels"
(page 160).

Frame slip
Digital signals must have accurate clock synchronization for data to
be interleaved into or extracted from the appropriate timeslot during
multiplexing and demultiplexing operations. A Frame Slip is defined (for 2
Mbyte links) as the repetition of, or deletion of the 256 data bits of a CEPT
frame due to a sufficiently large discrepancy in the read and write rates at
the buffer (clocks are not operating at exactly the same speed).
When data bits are written into (added to) a buffer at a slightly higher rate
than that at which they are being read (emptied), sooner or later the buffer
overflows This is a slip-frame deletion.
In the opposite situation, when data bits are written (added) into a buffer
at slightly lower rate than that at which they are being read (emptied),
eventually the buffer runs dry or underflows. This is also a slip-frame
repetition.

contain 2 full frames (256 x 2 = 512 bits). The buffer is normally kept half
full (1 frame).
Slippage has impact on the data being transferred, as is shown in Table 63
"Performance impact of one slip on service type" (page 161). All of the
degradations shown in the table can be controlled or avoided with proper
clock synchronization.

Guidelines
Some key points to keep in mind when designing Network Synchronization:
Where possible, the Master Clock Source should always be from a Node
Category/Stratum with higher clock accuracy, that is, a PBX connected to
the Central Office (CO.) The CO is the Master and the PBX is the Slave.
The source should not be in free-run itself (providing its own clock)
unless it is operating in a fully independent network where the source
acts as a Master (see "Plesiosynchronous operation" (page 158).)
When connecting two PBXs together (no CO connections), the most
reliable PBX should be the Master. Reliability here refers to Dual
CPU/Dual Clock, battery back-up or stratum level of the clock controller.
Avoid timing loops. A timing loop occurs when a clock using as its
reference frequency a signal that it itself traceable to the output of that
clock. The formation of such a closed timing loop leads to frequency
instability and is not permitted. Timing loops are sometimes unavoidable
on the secondary clock reference source.
Ensure all CO/PBX links used as clock references have a traceable path
back to the same stratum 1 clock source.

162 Clock Controller description and installation
While it is beyond the scope of this discussion to provide detailed Network
Synchronization, the following examples illustrate some of the basic
concepts to achieve stable clocking.
Figure 60
Example 1, Isolated Private Network
In this example, there is no digital connection to the Central Office.
Figure 61
Example 2, Isolated Private Network with Secondary Reference Clock
In this example, there is no digital connection to the Central Office. For tie
lines between PBXs facilitated by a central office, clocking is derived from
the PBX, not the CO. When a second Digital loop is available, it can be used
as a Secondary Clock source in case the Primary Source fails.

Example 3, Clocking Hierarchy referenced to a Public Network Master Clock
This is an example of a "STAR" arrangement— one Hub PBX is linked to
the Central Office and all other PBXs are connected as slaves. When a
second Digital loop from the system which forms the hub of this network
becomes available, it can be used as a Secondary Clock Source in case the
Primary Source fails.

Example 4, Alternate Clocking from the same CO
In this case, a digital connection to the Central Office can exist (i.e. Loops X
and Y). When a second Digital loop from the CO or Master M-1 becomes
available, it can be used as a Secondary Clock Source in case the Primary
Source fails.
To avoid timing loops, in example 4-4 the most reliable slave system should
not have a Secondary Clock Source (SREF= <cr>). In this example, this is
illustrated by the node which supports loops X and Z.

Example 5, digital connection to the CO
In this example, digital connections to the Central Office do exist. When a
second Digital loop from the CO becomes available, it can be used as a
Secondary Clock Source in case the Primary Source fails.
Slaves can track on each other as a secondary source since the chances of
both links to the Central Offices going down at the same time are minimal.
All Central Offices must have a path back to the same stratum 1 source.

Example 7, Network Clocking with MUX
In this example, the direct connection to the CO (without a MUX) should be
used as a primary clock reference because this is where the least amount of
hardware is involved. The MUX must pass the clock and not generate its
own clock; in other words, it must be a slave (not Free Run). Synchronized
clocking is required.
Modes of operation
There are two modes of operation, tracking mode and free run (non-tracking)
mode.
Tracking mode
In tracking mode, the Primary Rate Interface (PRI) or Digital Trunk Interface
(DTI) loop supplies an external clock reference to the onboard clock
controller. Two PRI or DTI packs can operate in tracking mode, with one
defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other
defined as a secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as
a back-up to the primary reference.

168 Clock Controller description and installation
Free run (non-tracking) mode
The clock synchronization for a PRI loop can operate in free-run mode if:
the loop is not defined as the primary or secondary clock reference
the primary and secondary references are disabled
the primary and secondary references are in a local alarm state
Small System Clock Controller daughterboard
The Small System supports a single onboard clock controller daughterboard,
the NTAK20, located on either:
the NTRB21 1.5 Mbyte DTI/PRI card
the NTAK09 1.5 DTI/PRI card
the NTAK10 2 Mbyte DTI card
the NTAK79 2 Mbyte PRI card
the NTBK50 2 Mbyte PRI card
The clock controller circuitry synchronizes to an external reference clock and
generates and distributes the clock to the system. This enables the system
to function either as a slave to an external clock or as a clocking master.
Note: When configuring ISL over analog trunks, clock controllers are
not required.

ISL configurations
The ISDN Signaling Link (ISL) is used on PRI/DTI connections. The ISL
feature operates in two modes, shared and dedicated.
Shared mode
The DCHI supports ISDN PRI signaling for both PRI and ISL trunks.
Dedicated mode
In this mode, the DCHI supports ISL trunks using ISDN PRI signaling. The
D-channel communicates with the far end using a dedicated leased line,
dialup modem, or DTI trunk.

Shared mode
In shared mode, the D-channel is provided by the DCHI or MSDL card and
PRI. The hardware configuration is basically the same as the ISDN PRI
D-channel. See Figure 70 "ISL in shared mode" (page 183).
Shared mode is established through service change in LD17, prompt USR,
with the response SHA.
In the shared mode, the DCH can share signaling for no more than 382 (T1)
or 480 (E1) trunks, including digital and analog.

Dedicated mode using leased line
In this configuration, the D-channel connects the DCHI or MSDL to a
modem which communicates with a far-end modem over a dedicated leased
line. See Figure 71 "ISL dedicated mode, using leased line" (page 183).A
2400 baud D-channel can support signaling for approximately 382 (T1) or
480 (E1) trunks without non-call associated messages.
Both modems should be set in the synchronous mode.

Dedicated mode using dialup modem
In this configuration, the DCHI or MSDL is connected to a modem which is
connected to a 500 set line card. See Figure 73 "ISL dedicated mode, using
dialup Hayes Smartmodem 2400" (page 186). The call is connected to the
far end through the analog (500/2500 type set) -to-TIE trunk path.
To set up the D-channel, program the modem at one end in the autodial
mode, so it automatically initiates a call to the other end at power up. The
autodial DN must be coordinated with personnel at the far end switch.
Install a modem for ISL applications
The modem software and hardware must be installed sequentially. The
modem software must be defined before the hardware connection between
the modem and the system can be made. Within the software installation,
either the autodial or the auto-answer software can be set up first. Figure
72 "ISL dedicated mode: using dialup Hayes Smartmodem 2400" (page
184) shows the hardware configuration between two PBXs and their
corresponding modems.

Dedicated mode using PRI/DTI trunks
In this configuration, the DCHI or MSDL is connected to a High Speed Data
Module (HSDM) or Asynchronous/Synchronous Interface Module (ASIM).
See Figure 74 "ISL dedicated mode: using PRI/DTI trunk" (page 187). The
HSDM or ASIM is connected to a Data Line Card (DLC). The call is then
connected to the far end through the DLC to DTI trunk path.
To establish the D-channel in this configuration, set up the HSDM or ASIM
at one end in hot line mode. The hot line DN must be coordinated with
personnel at the far end, then programmed in LD11. The preprogrammed
hot line DN is dialed by the system. If the call cannot be established, the
system continues to dial the hot line number continuously until the call is
connected.

Dedicated mode using dialup modem 187
Set the HSDM or ASIM must be in synchronous mode. A data rate of 9.6
Kbps is recommended because it provides internal error detection and
correction. The following data rates are also supported: 1.2 Kbps, 2.4 Kbps,
3.6 Kbps, 4.8 Kbps, 7.2 Kbps, 14.4 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 38.4 Kbps, and 56
Kbps for ASIM. The High Speed Data Module (HSDM) supports 64 Kbps.
Note 1: This configuration is the least reliable due to the lockup
problems inherent in Smart Modems from power splices and noisy lines.
To increase the reliability on this configuration, a constant power source
can be used when powering the modems. Also ensure that the TIE
lines meet data grade specifications.
Note 2: Nortel takes no responsibility for ISL D-channel outages due to
modem lockup.

The Media Gateway and Media Gateway Expansion contain physical card
slots, numbered 1 to 10. When configuring the system, the physical card
slot numbers must be transposed to logical card slot numbers. For example,
to configure a card physically located in slot two of the Media Gateway one,
use logical slot 12. To configure a card physically located in slot two of the
Media Gateway two, use logical Slot 22.
Table 72 "Media Gateway and Media Gateway Expansion slot assignments"

Digital Trunking requires synchronized clocking so a shift in one clock source
results in an equivalent shift of the same size and direction in all parts of the
network. Synchronization is accomplished with the NTAK20 clock controller
circuit card in each Main and IP expansion cabinet/Media Gateway.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
Every Small System cabinet or Media Gateway that contains a digital trunk must
contain a clock controller.
If a Small System is equipped with digital trunks, it is recommended that at least
one digital trunk be placed in the main cabinet.

200 1.5 Mb PRI implementation
Note: Clocking slips can occur between 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. A
Small System can function either as a slave to an external clock or as a
clocking master.
The NTAK20AA version of the clock controller meets AT&T Stratum 3 and
Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BA version
meets CCITT stratum 4 specifications.
Clocking modes
The system supports a single clock controller that can operate in one of two
modes - tracking or non-tracking (also known as free-run).
Tracking mode In tracking mode, one or possibly two DTI/PRI cards
supply a clock reference to a clock controller daughterboard. One DTI/PRI
is defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, while
the other is defined as the secondary reference source (PREF and SREF in
LD 73).
There are two stages to clock controller tracking, as follows:
tracking a reference
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 nearly matched, the clock controller locks onto the reference. The
clock controller makes small adjustments to its own frequency until incoming
and system frequencies correspond.
If the incoming clock reference is stable, the internal clock controller tracks
it, locks onto it, and matches frequencies exactly. Occasionally, however,
environmental circumstances cause the external or internal clocks to drift.
When this happens, the internal clock controller briefly enters the tracking
stage. The green LED flashes momentarily until the clock controller locks
onto the reference once again.
If the incoming reference is unstable, the internal clock controller is
continuously in the tracking stage, with the LED flashing green all the time.
This condition does not present a problem, instead it shows that the clock
controller is continually attempting to lock onto the signal. However, if slips
are occurring, there is a problem with the clock controller or the incoming
line.

Hardware description 201
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 system is used 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. 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.
Shelf slot assignment
For cabinet systems, the NTAK09 DTI/PRI card can be placed in main and
expansion cabinets in any single card slot given in Table 74 "Shelf slot
assignments for NTRB21, NTAK09, and NTAK20" (page 202).
Note: For CISPR B group cabinets, the active Clock Controller
(NTAK20) can only occupy slots 1-3, 11-13, 21-23, 31-33, or 41-43 in
an Option 11C cabinet. For FCC and/or CISPR A group cabinets, this
limitation does not exist.
On non-CISPR B system cabinets, the NTAK20 can be placed in slots 1-9 of
the Option 11C main cabinet. On cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the
active NTAK20 must be placed in slots 1-3 (slots 4-10 cannot be used.)
On non-CISPR B IP expansion cabinets, the NTAK20 can be placed in slots
11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion
cabinets, respectively.
Clock controller LED states
The clock controller LED, on the NTAK09 or NTRB21 faceplates, is in
various states depending on the status of the clock controller.
Table 73
Clock controller LEDs
LED Clock controller
On (Red) NTAK20 is equipped and disabled.
On (Green) NTAK20 is equipped and is either locked to a reference
or in free run mode.
Flashing (Green) NTAK20 is equipped and 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 can be an acceptable
state. Check for slips and related clock controller error
conditions. If none exist, then this state is acceptable,
and the flashing is identifying jitter on the reference.
Off NTAK20 is not equipped.

NTAK93 D-channel Handler Interface (DCHI) daughterboard
The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard interfaces with the system Central
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTAK09 DTI/PRI circuit card
for PRI or ISL shared mode applications. The DCHI is responsible for
performing the Q.921 layer 2 protocol information. It transfers layer 3
signaling information between two adjacent network switches.
The NTAK93 DCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTAK09 circuit
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTAK09. The NTAK93 can use
SDI I/O addresses 0 to 79 and port 1.
Note: I/O addresses 0, 1, 2, 8 and 9 are preconfigured on the Small
System and must not conflict with the I/O addresses on the NTAK93
card.
A minimum of one NTAK93 is required for each PRI link. If more than one
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DCHI circuit card can
support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the Small System.

This allows a total of 382 B-channels or PRI trunks to be supported if a
backup D-channel is also used. A total of 383 B-channels or PRI trunks are
supported if a backup channel is not used.
NTBK51BA Downloadable D-channel (DDCH) daughterboard
The NTBK51BA DDCH daughterboard interfaces with the Small System
Central Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTAK09 DTI/PRI circuit
card for PRI D-channel applications. The DDCH is equivalent to the MSDL
card used on a Large System, but it only supports D-channel applications
(no SDI or ESDI).
The NTBK51BA DDCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTAK09
circuit card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTAK09.
A minimum of one NTBK51BA is required for each PRI link. If more than
one PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DDCH circuit
card can support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the
Small Systems. This allows a total of 382 B-channels or PRI trunks to be
supported if a backup D-channel is also used. A total of 383 B-channels or
PRI trunks are supported if a backup channel is not used.
For more information on expansion daughterboards, refer to Communication
Server 1000M and Meridian 1 Small System Planning and Engineering

Prompt Response Description
- - PNI (0) 1-32700 Private Network Identifier. Each customer data block must
have a unique PNI when multi-customer option is equipped.
PNI = 1 is typical for CUST = 0. It must be matched by
the PNI in the far-end RDB.
Note: Using the default value of PNI = 0, prevents operation
of features like NRAG, NACD and NMS.
IFC xx Interface type.
- CHTY BCH Signalling type - prompted if DTRK is YES. D-channel
signalling for B-channels.
- CTYP <CR> Call Type. Enter the call type to be associated with the
outgoing route for direct dialing using the trunk access
code (instead of NARS access code).
See the Software Input Output Administration
(NN43001-611) for a listing of possible responses.
- INAC YES Insert ESN Access Code based on NARS/BARS call
type for incoming calls on TIE routes only. If NARS is
equipped, this feature inserts AC1 or AC2, depending on
the responses to AC2 in LD 15 Customer Data Block.
For NARS/BARS call types, INAC bypasses incoming digit
insertion specified by INST in LD 16 Route Data Block.
Unknown call types, including CDP steering codes, are
not affected by INAC, and do not bypass digit insertion
specified by INST.
INAC must be set to YES to support features such as
Network ACD and Network Message Services, which
depend on non-call associated TCAP facility messages.

connector associated with the slot the NTAK02 is installed in.
4If the installation is a dedicated mode using leased line modem
configuration, the D-channel connects the DCHI with the far-end
modem over a dedicated leased line. The modems must have a
minimum transmission rate of 2400 baud and must support leased
line capability and synchronous mode, 2-wire or 4-wire operation.
Modems such as Ventel 2400 Plus II can be used. You must specify
4-wire operation when ordering. Otherwise, the modem is factory
shipped for 2-wire operation.
Note: The Hayes Smart modem 2400 cannot be used on leased
lines.
5If the installation is a dedicated mode using dialup modem (such as
Hayes 2400, Ventel 2400 or Gandalf 2400) configuration, the DCHI is
connected to a modem that is connected to a 500 set line card. The
call is connected to the far-end via the 500 set-to-TIE Trunk path.
Note: Dedicated mode using leased line modems is the
preferred method.
6Set up the D-channel. Configure the modem at one end in the
autodial mode so it automatically initiates a call to the other end at
power-up. The autodial number must be coordinated with the far-end
switch. The originating modem must have this autodial number
stored internally as part of the modem configuration routine. The
far-end modem must be configured for auto-answer.

Basic ISL implementation
Implement dedicated mode
Use Procedure 38 "Implementing dedicated mode" (page 232) to configure
basic ISL capability. It applies to analog TIE Trunks that are used as
B-channels. When DTI/PRI trunks are also used, LD 17 digital loop (DLOP)
and LD 73 (digital data block-DDB) must also be configured with the
appropriate clocking and threshold settings.
The DCHI in this case uses the NTAK02 circuit card and does not support
ISDN PRI signaling. The DCHI is reserved for ISL use only. The D-channel
can communicate with the far-end by means of a dedicated leased line
modem or dialup modem.
For ISL dedicated mode using a dialup modem, a 500 set, TIE Trunk route
and member have to be configured (used for D-channel).
Configuring dedicated mode involves four major steps:
Procedure 38
Implementing dedicated mode
Step Action
1Configure the D-channel for ISL (LD 17).
2Enable ISDN option (LD 15).
3Enable the ISL option on a per route basis, assigning a D-channel
for each route (LD 16).
4Assign a channel identification to each trunk with the ISL option
(LD 17).

NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card
The 2.0 Mb DTI card provides the physical interface for the digital E-1
carrier on the system. The card includes an onboard clock controller and is
installed in slots 1 through 9 in the Option 11C Cabinet. On IP Expansion
cabinets, it is placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second,
third, and fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.
The NTAK10 2.0 Mb DTI card is also used for ISL shared mode applications.
For information on the NTAK10 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).
Install DTI hardware
The NTAK10 circuit card is installed in card slot 1-9 in the Option 11C
Cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29,
31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets,
respectively.
It is not supported in the Media Gateway Expansion. Up to four digital trunk
cards are supported in each Media Gateway. The NTAK10 card is installed
in Slots 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Media Gateway.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
Each Media Gateway that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller set to
an external reference clock.

Install DTI hardware 239
Inspect the NTAK10 circuit card
Inspect the circuit card before installing it in the Option 11C Cabinet or
Media Gateway:
Locate the NTAK10 2.0 Mb circuit card and carefully remove it from its
packaging.
Inspect the circuit card for any visible damage that occurred during
shipping.
Set the switches
The NTAK10 incorporates four surface mounted dip switches. The following
tables provide information on the various settings and related functions of
these switches.
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 adjacent to
the bottom left corner of each individual switch.
Set the switches on the circuit card according to the requirements of your
installation.
Switch S1 - Clock Controller (CC) configuration
This switch enables and disables the onboard Clock Controller (CC).

Hardware description
2.0 Mb PRI cards
Two PRI cards are available on the system:
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI card

Hardware description 259
essentially replaces the D-channel circuit on the NTAK79 PRI card. (The
NTAK79 PRI card does not support the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel
handler daughterboard.)
A second difference between the NTAK79 and NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI cards
is that the NTAK79 has an onboard clock controller while the NTBK50
supports the NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard.
Note: If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached to the
NTBK50 PRI card instead of the NTBK51 Downloadable D-channel
daughterboard, the NTBK50 PRI card functions in the same manner
as the NTAK79 PRI card.
NTAK79 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card includes an onboard clock
controller and onboard D-channel handler. It is installed in slots 1-9 in the
main cabinet. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed in slots 11-19, 21-29,
31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth expansion cabinets,
respectively.
For information on the NTAK79 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).
NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
The 2.0 Mb Primary Rate Interface card provides the physical interface for
the digital E-1 carrier on the system. The card is installed in slots 1-9 in the
main cabinet or Media Gateway. On IP Expansion cabinets, it is installed
in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and fourth
expansion cabinets, respectively.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
Each Media Gateway that has a digital trunk must have a clock controller set to
an external reference clock.
Note: Clocking slips can occur between Media Gateway systems that
are clocked from different COs, if the COs are not synchronized. The
slips can degrade voice quality.
The NTBK50 supports the following clock controller and D-channel handler
daughterboards:
NTAK20 clock controller daughterboard
NTAK93 D-channel handler daughterboard, or NTBK51 Downloadable
D-channel daughterboard.

260 2.0 Mb PRI implementation
If the NTAK93 D-channel daughterboard is attached, the NTBK50 PRI card
functions in the same manner as the NTAK79 PRI card. If the NTBK51
D-channel daughterboard is attached, software is downloaded to the card
instead of residing in a D-channel circuit.
For information on the NTBK50 faceplate LEDs, refer to ISDN Primary Rate
Interface Maintenance (NN43001-717).
NTAK20 Clock Controller (CC) daughterboard
The NTAK20 Clock Controller daughterboard is used with the NTBK50 2.0
Mb PRI card. The NTAK79 PRI card has an onboard clock controller.
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. On systems, synchronization is accomplished with the
NTAK20 clock controller circuit card.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
Every Small System cabinet or Media Gateway that contains a digital trunk must
contain a clock controller. If a Small System is equipped with digital trunks, Nortel
recommends that at least one digital trunk is placed in the Small System main
cabinet.
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 NTAK20AB version of the clock controller meets AT&T Stratum
3 and Bell Canada Node Category D specifications. The NTAK20BB version
meets CCITT stratum 4 specifications.
Shelf slot assignment
On non-CISPR B system cabinets, the NTAK20 is placed in slots 1-9. On
cabinets NTAK11Dx and NTAK11Fx, the active NTAK20 is placed in slots
1-3 (slots 4-10 cannot be used.) On IP Expansion cabinets, the NTAK20
is placed in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and
fourth expansion cabinets, respectively.
NTAK93 D-Channel Handler Interface (DCHI) daughterboard
The NTAK93 DCHI daughterboard interfaces with the system Central
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 PRI card for PRI (but not
ISL) applications. The equivalent circuit resides onboard the NTAK79 2.0 Mb
PRI card. The DTI/PRI digital trunk card is installed in the Media Gateway.
Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media Gateway Expansions.

Install the NTAK79 PRI card 261
The DCHI is responsible for performing the Q.921 layer 2 protocol
information. It transfers layer 3 signaling information between two adjacent
network switches.
The NTAK93 DCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.
A minimum of one NTAK93 is required for each PRI link. If more than one
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DCHI circuit card can
support up to a maximum of sixteen PRI connections for the system. This
allows for the support of 495 B-Channels or PRI trunks.
NTBK51 Downloadable D-Channel (DDCH) daughterboard
The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard interfaces with the system Central
Processing Unit (CPU) and mounts on the NTBK50 2.0 Mb PRI circuit card
for PRI D-Channel applications.
Digital trunk cards are not supported in Media Gateway Expansions.
The DDCH is equivalent to the MSDL card on larger systems, but it only
supports D-channel applications (no SDI or ESDI).
The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard, when installed on the NTBK50 circuit
card, is addressed in the same slot as the NTBK50.
A minimum of one NTBK51 is required for each PRI link. If more than one
PRI link connects to the same end location, a single DDCH circuit card
can support up to a maximum of 16 PRI connections for the system. This
enables support for 495 B-channels or PRI trunks.
Install the NTAK79 PRI card
The steps required to install PRI are as follows:
Step Action
1Inspect the PRI card.
2Set the switches on the PRI card.
3Insert the PRI card in slots 1-9 of the Small System main cabinet,
or in slots 11-19, 21-29, 31-39, 41-49 of the first, second, third, and
fourth Expansion cabinets, respectively.

Set the switches on the NTBK50
The NTBK50 incorporates three onboard dip switches. The following tables
provide information on the various settings and related functions of these
switches.
Note: The ON position for all the switches is positioned toward the
bottom of the card. This is indicated by a white dot printed on the board
adjacent to the bottom left corner of each switch.

Set the switches on the circuit card according to the requirements of your
installation.
Switch SW1 - DCHI configuration (NTAK93 only)
This switch enables and disables the DCHI and sets the operating mode of
the DCHI. It is only used if an NTAK93 D-channel handler daughterboard is
being used. It has no effect when using the NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard.

Step Action
1Visually inspect the connector pins on the underside of the
daughterboard. Realign any bent pins prior to mounting.
2Place the NTBK50 down flat on an antistatic pad.
3From an overhead view, with the daughterboard parallel above
the NTBK50 and the connector pins aligned over the connector
sockets, align the mounting holes on the daughterboard with the
tops of the standoffs on the NTBK50 (see Figure 86 "Daughterboard
installation" (page 270)).
4Slowly lower the daughterboard toward the NTBK50, keeping the
standoffs in line with all four holes, until the holes rest atop the four
standoffs.
If more than slight pressure is required at this point, the connector
pins might not be aligned with the connector socket. If so, lift the
daughterboard off the NTBK50 and return to step 2.
5Gently apply pressure along the edge of the board where the
connector is located until the standoffs at the two corners adjacent
to the connector snap into a locked position. Then press down on
the two corners on the opposite side until they lock into place.

Contents This section contains information on the following topics:
"Overview" (page 283)
"ISL hardware requirements" (page 283)
"ISL hardware installation" (page 286)
"ISL software implementation" (page 288)
Overview This chapter provides the information required to implement ISL on the
system including:
hardware and software installation
implementation of components needed to provide basic call service
ISDN features are treated separately in the chapter devoted to ISDN feature
implementation.
This chapter assumes that ESN implementation is already in place. It also
assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of NARS and CDP.
Two modes of ISL are available: shared and dedicated. This chapter covers
ISL installation in dedicated mode using dedicated and leased lines. Shared
mode installations are done according to the instructions supplied for PRI,
with the noted exceptions.
ISL hardware requirements
ISL, regardless of the operation mode, uses analog or digital TIE lines as
B-channels.

Procedure 43
Setting up the D-channel
Step Action
1If this is a dedicated mode installation using leased line modems,
the D-channel connects the DCHI with the far-end modem over a
dedicated leased line. Synchronous modems with a minimum 2400
baud data rate must be configured. Modems must support leased
line capability and synchronous mode. The Hayes Smartmodem
2400 cannot be used on leased lines.

288 2.0 Mb ISL implementation
If this a dedicated mode using dialup modems, modems such as
Hayes 2400, Ventel 2400 or Gandalf 2400 can be used. In this
configuration, the DCHI connects to a modem which is connected
to a 500 set line card. The call connects to the far-end through the
500 set-to-TIE trunk path.
Program the modem at one end in the autodial mode, so it
automatically initiates a call to the other end at power up. The
autodial number must be coordinated with the far-end switch. The
originating modem has this autodial number stored internally as part
of the modem configuration routine.
The far-end modem need only be setup for auto-answer.
—End—
ISL software implementation
There are two modes of ISDN Signaling Link (ISL) operation, shared mode
and dedicated mode.
Shared mode
The NTAK79 onboard DCHI supports ISDN PRI signaling and ISL trunks.
The configuration is basically the same as the PRI D-channel, with the
D-channel also supporting ISL trunks.
The DTI/PRI software implementation sequence can be used (refer to the
appropriate chapters for more information) with the following exceptions.
LD 17 - Shared mode
Prompt Response Description
USR SHA D-channel for ISL in "shared" mode, used for both ISDN PRI and ISL.
ISLM 1-240 Number of ISL B-channel (trunks) controlled by the D-channel (no
default value).
LD 16 - Interface type
Prompt Response Description
IFC SL1 Interface type must be SL1 (this is the only type supported for ISL).

.
ISL software implementation 289
Dedicated mode
The DCHI uses the NTAK02 circuit card and does not support ISDN PRI
signaling. The DCHI is reserved for ISL use only. The D-channel can
communicate with the far-end by means of a dedicated leased line modem
or dialup modem.
Note that the following implementation relates to analogue TIE trunks being
used as B-channels. In the case where DTI/PRI trunks are also used, then
LD 17 digital loop (2.0 Mb PRI) and LD73 (2.0 Mb PRI/SYTI) must also be
configured with the appropriate clocking and threshold settings.
For ISL dedicated mode using a dialup modem, a 500 set, TIE trunk
route and member must be programmed (used for D-channel). Table 106
"Configuring basic ISL capability" (page 289) summarizes the required
steps.
