CTX28 Installation

CTX28 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Strata CTX28 system. It includes information on site
requirements, wiring diagrams, and step-by-step instructions on how to install the unit(s), the
ground wiring, AC power cabling, reserve power (battery backup) cabling, and Printed Circuit
Board (PCB) cabling.

Inspection
1. When the system is received, examine all packages carefully and note any visible damage. If
any damage is found, do not open the packages. Contact the delivery carrier immediately and
make the proper claims.
2. After unpacking (and before installing), check the system against the packing list and inspect
all equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact your supplier
immediately.
3. Be sure to retain original packaging materials for re-use when storing or transporting system
hardware.

Packaging and Storage
CAUTION! When handling (installing, removing, examining) PCBs, do not touch the

back (soldered) side or edge connector. Always hold the PCB by its edges.
³

When packaging and storing the system, remove PCBs from the system cabinet. PCBs should
be packaged in their original antistatic bags for protection against electrostatic discharge. Be
sure to package equipment in its original shipping containers.

Site Requirements

Site Requirements
This section defines the installation site requirements necessary to ensure a proper operating
environment for the CTX28. Also included are grounding requirements.

Input Power
The system requires an input power source of 115VAC ± 10VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 amps. The AC
outlet is recommended to be dedicated and unswitched. (See “AC Power and Grounding
Requirements” on page 1-4.)
This eliminates interference from branch circuit motor noise or the like, and to prevent accidental
power-off. To avoid accidental power turn-off, Toshiba recommends that you do not use an On/Off
wall switch on this dedicated AC circuit.
For the Strata CTX28, a reserve power source (HPFB-6) may be connected to the system to serve
as a power failure backup (See Step 8 on page 1-18).

Clearance and Location
The minimum clearance requirements for the
Strata CTX28 Base cabinet is shown in
Figure 1-1. Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 1-7 for
CTX28 KSU mounting instructions.

AC Power and Grounding Requirements

AC Power and Grounding Requirements
The CTX28 requires a solid earth ground for proper operation. The AC power cord connects to a
standard AC power outlet. The ground for the CTX28 must originate at the building’s main power
distribution panel and have a solid connection to earth ground. (See Figure 1-2.)

CAUTION! Lack of proper ground may cause improper operation and, in extreme cases,

system failure.

WARNING! Failure to provide a proper ground may be a safety hazard to service
personnel or lead to confusing trouble symptoms, such as noise on the talk
path including GVMU greetings and messages. In extreme cases, system
failure may result because the system is not properly protected from
lightning or power transients.

AC Power and Grounding Requirements

AC Power Ground Test

WARNING! Hazardous voltages that may cause death or injury are exposed during the
following test. Use great care when working with AC power line voltage.

CTX28 Installation

Test the “wire ground” for continuity by either measuring the resistance between the TB3 terminal
(earth ground) on the GMAU and a metal cold water pipe (maximum: 1 ohm), or by using a
commercially available earth ground indicator. If neither procedure is possible, perform the
following earth ground test procedure.

³ To perform the earth ground test procedure
1. Obtain a suitable voltmeter, and set it for a possible reading of up to 250VAC.
2. Connect the meter probes between the two main AC voltage terminals (white and black wires)
on the wall outlet. The reading obtained should be between 100~125VAC.
3. Move one of the meter probes to TB3 terminal (green wire ground). Either the same reading or
a reading of zero volts should be obtained.
4. If the reading is zero volts, leave one probe on the ground terminal and move the other probe to
the second voltage terminal.
CAUTION! If a reading of zero volts is obtained on both voltage terminals (white wire to

TB3 wire, black wire to TB3 wire), the outlet is not properly grounded. Omit
Steps 5 and 6, and see following CAUTION!
5. If a reading of zero volts on one terminal, and a reading of 100~125VAC on the other terminal
is obtained, remove both probes from the outlet.
6. Set the meter to the “OHMS/Rx1” scale. Place one probe on the TB3 ground terminal, and the
other probe on the terminal that produced a reading of zero volts. The reading should be less
than one ohm.
CAUTION! If the reading is more than one ohm, then the outlet is not adequately

grounded. If the above tests show the outlet AC voltage is not in range or is
not properly grounded, the condition should be corrected (per Article 250 of
the National Electrical Code) by a qualified electrician before the system is
connected.

Step 7: Install the BSIS1A (optional)
The BSIS provides RS-232 serial ports.
³

To install the BSIS1A, align the BSIS1A pins over the GCTU1A and press down firmly (see
Figure 1-6).

Step 8: Install the HPFB-6 (Reserve Power Battery/Charger)
One or two HPFB-6 optional units can be added to the CTX28 to provide reserve power. The
amount of reserve power time depends on the hardware (see Table 1-12). The table below is an
estimate of battery backup time based on the premise that the HPFB-6 unit(s) are fully charged at
the time of AC power failure. This estimated backup time is based on low call traffic, the time
estimates will be reduced by as much as half with extreme heavy traffic volumes.

Mark the location of the two screw holes, then drill holes.
Screw the two screws two-thirds into the mounting surface.
Hang the HPFB-6 on the screws then tighten the screws into the mounting surface.
Plug the first HPFB-6 connector into BATT connector P10 on GMAU.
Connect a #10 ground AWG wire from the HPFB-6 “FG” screw to the CTX28 screw labeled
“TB1” (Figure 1-2).

Note The CTX28 should be plugged into AC power and the DC power switch should be turned

On when installing the HPFU-6. The HPFU-6 will not start to operate if AC power is not
available during the initial installation.
7. The 24VDC LED on the HPFB-6 should light. If it does not light, press the battery Off switch
with a pencil point or other small-tipped object.
8. Dress and tie-wrap the HPFB-6 cables.
9. To mount a second HPFB-6, repeat Steps 1~4, then plug the second HPFB-6 connector in the
first HPFB-6 and connect an FG wire between each HPFB-6 FG screw.
10. To test the HPFB-6, remove the CTX28 AC plug from the AC outlet. The CTX28 AC LED will
go out, but the CTX28 DC LED remains on. Also the system remains in normal working order
and the HPFB-6 24V LED remains on.
11. If it is desired to turn off the HPFB-6 (after loss of AC power), use a pencil or other sharp
object to press the Battery Off switch.
CAUTION!

Once the HPFB-6 is turned Off or unplugged (during AC power loss) it will not
operate again until AC power is restored to the CTX28 KSU.

Amphenol connector in place.
2. Connect all other PCB wiring (e.g., modular CO line cords, LAN cable, etc.). Slide the shorter
tie-wrap through the holder. Then fasten wiring to the unit with the tie wrap that comes with the
Base KSU.
3. Connect the end of the AC adapter cable to the GMAS PCB as shown in Figures 1-15 and 1-16.
4. Connect the other end of the GETS (100Base TX) LAN cable to the LAN connected to the
CTX WinAdmin PC.
5. Plug the AC adapter into a power strip connected to an power outlet.
6. Put the On/Standby switch into “On” position. The DC LED should light green. The CTX28 is

Strata CTX Configuration

Worksheets follow this information to aid in determining the actual cabinets and interface PCBs
needed for particular proposals and how these PCBs should be placed in Strata CTX cabinet slots.
(Worksheets begin on page 2-22.)

Strata CTX
Configuration

This chapter contains information and worksheets to help configure the Strata CTX100-S,
CTX100 and CTX670 hardware components. A system overview of the Strata CTX100-S,
CTX100 and Strata CTX670 hardware components and the maximum station and line capacities
available with the system processor is provided.

Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 Overview
The Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 systems are
compact systems, yet they provide large system
features (see Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1). It is
designed for wall mounting and occupies very
little space.

They are designed for wall mounting and
occupy very little space.
The CTX100 processor (ACTU2A) comes with
32 ports (licensed) and can grow to 112 ports
by adding 4-port licenses.
The CTX100-S processor (ACTU2A-S) comes
with 16 ports (licensed) and can grow to 32
ports by adding two eight-port licenses. Then, it
can grow to 112 ports with four-port licenses.

5976

system capacities depend on the licenses
stored on the system processor and the hardware described in this chapter. See “CTX100-S/
CTX100 License Control” on page 2-4.
Important!

The Strata CTX100-S uses the same hardware and configuration as the Strata
CTX100, with a few exceptions. Whenever the CTX100 is mentioned in this book, it
applies to both the CTX100-S and CTX100, unless specified otherwise.

Each ACTU2 basic processor can be configured with a one or two cabinet system. A single (Base)
cabinet system supports a combination of up to 64 Central Office (CO) lines and stations, while a
two cabinet system (Base and Expansion) can support up to 112 CO lines and stations.
System line and station capacity is expanded by adding CO line and station Printed Circuit Boards
(PCBs) and port licenses into its universal slot architecture.

CTX100-S and CTX100 Processors
Each system operates with one processor PCB (ACTU2A-S for CTX100-S, ACTU2A for
CTX100) that installs in a dedicated slot of the Base Cabinet. The processors incorporate the
following hardware features

CPU/Memory
Either processor PCB uses a high-speed, 32-bit, RISC processor, Dynamic Random Access
Memory (DRAM) working memory, Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) with lithium battery
for memory back-up, and flash program memory.

Large Scale Integrated (LSI) Circuits
The processors each have LSI circuits that support the following:
• 16 DTMF receiver hardware processor are built into the ACTU2. Five or more DTMF receivers
requires appropriate licenses. See “CTX100-S/CTX100 License Control” on page 2-4.
• 16 Busy Tone (BT) detector circuits for Auto Busy Redial (ABR) are built into the ACTU2.
• 64 built-in conference circuits (see Table 2-7 on page 2-12 for more information).
• Built-in, adjustable, digital volume PAD technology enables audio volume to be adjusted in
eight steps to compensate for conference and/or CO line network losses.

Memory Protection Battery
If commercial AC power is lost or if a system is moved or stored without power, either processor
has an on-board battery that protects data and the customer’s programmed configuration from
memory loss. This information will be maintained in a powerless system for at least six years.

Relay Control Interface
An on-board terminal strip provides an interface to a normally open relay contact which can be
programmed to control a Night Bell, door lock or to mute BGM during an external page.

External Page Interface
A 600 ohm RCA jack is built into the processor to interface with a Toshiba External Amplified
Speaker (HESB) or a customer-supplied page amplifier and speaker(s) for external paging, night
ring over external page, and external BGM applications.

Music-on-hold/Background Music Interface
A 600-ohm RCA jack and volume controls are built into the processor to interface with Music-onhold and/or Background Music (BGM) sources (one of the jacks is for future use). With the
CTX100, you can have up to 15 MOH/BGM source interfaces by adding:
• Up to two BIOU PCBs, each provides three MOH/BGM input sources
• An RSTU PCB that provides up to eight MOH/BGM input sources
• An ASTU PCB provides one alternate BGM source

Each processor has an on-board SmartMediaTM memory card slot. A SmartMedia flash memory
card can be inserted into the slot to backup and restore customer program data. It also makes it
easy to upload operating system data for software upgrades and is used for maintenance functions.

Strata CTX Configuration
CTX100-S/CTX100 License Control

CTX100-S/CTX100 License Control
The system size and feature capability is controlled using a software License Key Code. This key
code is obtained from Toshiba Internet FYI during the ordering process and is installed onto the
system processor via Strata CTX WinAdmin. Processor license codes activate system hardware
capacities in the following increments.
• The first 16 line/station ports on the CTX100-S do not require a license. The upgrade from 16
to 24 ports and from 24 to 32 ports requires the eight port upgrade LIC100S-8 PORTS license.
Each additional set of 4 line/station ports requires the four port upgrade LIC100-4 PORTS
license.
• The first 32 line/station ports on the CTX100 do not require a license. Each additional set of
four line/station ports requires one LIC100-4 PORTS license (maximum of 112 ports).
• The ACTU2A-S and ACTU2 processors each provide 16 DTMF built-in receiver hardware
circuits and 16 ABR circuits. The first four DTMF circuits and all ABR circuits do not require
a license. Each additional set of four DTMF receiver circuits requires one LIC100-4DTMF
license (maximum of 16 DTMF circuits).
Note DTMF tone receiver circuits are required for standard telephones, Voice Mail DTMF

integration, Tie, DID and DNIS line service.
• The optional RS-232 serial port interface (BSIS) provides two circuits to interface with SMDI
or Toshiba Proprietary Voice Mail integration, Call Accounting SMDR, and two for future
applications. The first circuit does not require a license, but circuits two through four each
require one LIC100-SER PORT license.

Licensed Software Options
Some software options are activated with license codes. The following software options require a
license:
• Each CTX system (node) in a Strata Net QSIG Network (ISDN or IP) requires one LIC100QSIG NET license. A maximum of four serial network nodes are allowed in any one serial
chain in the network topology.
• The built-in LAN interface for all CTI Open Architecture applications. Each individual CTI
Open Architecture application requires one LIC100-CSTA AP license (maximum nine).

CTX670 Processor PCBs

Large-scale Integrated (LSI) circuits
The processor has LSI circuits that support the following:
• BCTU provides 16 built-in DTMF receivers; 32 available using the BCTU and BEXU. For five
or more DTMF receivers, appropriate licenses are required. See “CTX670 License Control” on
page 2-7.
• BCTU provides 16 built-in Busy Tone (BT) detectors for Auto Busy Redial (ABR); 32
available using the BCTU and BEXU.
• BCTU provides 64 built-in conference circuits; up to 96 conference circuits are available using
the BCTU and BEXU. (See Table 2-7 on page 2-12 for more information).
• Built-in, adjustable, digital volume PAD technology enables audio volume to be adjusted in
eight steps to compensate for conference and/or CO line network losses.

Memory Protection Battery
If commercial AC power is lost or if a system is moved or stored without power, the processor has
an internal battery that protects data and the customer’s programmed configuration from memory
loss. This information will be maintained in a powerless system for at least six years.

Music-on-hold/Background Music Interface
An RCA jack and volume control are built into the processor to interface with a Music-on-hold
and/ or Background Music source. With the CTX670, you can have up to 15 MOH/BGM sources
by adding:
• Up to two BIOU PCBs, each provides three MOH/BGM input sources.
• An RSTU PCB that provides up to eight MOH/BGM input sources.
• MOH/BGM source volume adjustment is controlled by software programming.

SmartMedia Memory
The processor has an on-board SmartMedia card slot. A SmartMedia flash memory card can be
inserted to backup and restore customer program data. It also makes it easy to upload operating
system data for software upgrades and is used for maintenance functions.

Network Interface
The processor has an on-board Ethernet 10base-T Ethernet circuit for connection to Open
Architecture Computer Telephony Interface (CTI) applications. This provides extensive call
control and telephone support for CTI applications. The Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
port also enables connection to the following:
• CTX Attendant Console
• ACD server
• Local and Remote CTX WinAdmin PC
• Soft Key Control of Voice Mail features

CTX670 Processor PCB Subassemblies
Subassemblies can be added to the BCTU processor PCB to provide additional features. The
subassemblies are:
• AMDS (Modem) – Provides a 33.6Kbps/V.34 modem for point-to-point local or remote
connection to the CTX WinAdminTM administration PC.
• BSIS interface PCB which attaches to the BCTU to provide up to four RS-232 interface ports
for SMDR Call Accounting and SMDI or Toshiba Proprietary Voice Mail interface.
See Table 2-3 on page 2-9 for the number of cabinets and universal PCB slots for the Basic and
Expanded systems.

The system size and feature capability is controlled using a software License Key Code. This key
code is obtained from the Toshiba Internet FYI site during the ordering process and is installed
onto the system processor via Strata CTX WinAdmin. Processor license codes activate system
hardware capacities in the following increments.

Strata CTX
Configuration

CTX670 License Control

• The first 64 line/station ports do not require a license. Each additional set of four line/station
ports requires one LIC670-4PORTS license (maximum of 672 ports).
• The on-board DTMF receiver circuit provides up to 32 DTMF receiver hardware circuits. The
first four DTMF circuits do not require a license. Each additional set of four DTMF receiver
circuits requires one LIC670-4DTMF license (max. total of 32 DTMF circuits).
Note DTMF tone receiver circuits are required for standard telephones, Voice Mail DTMF

integration, Tie, DID and DNIS line service.
• The optional RS-232 serial port interface (BSIS) provides two circuits to interface with Voice
Mail SMDI or Toshiba Proprietary Voice Mail integration, Call Accounting SMDR, and two
for future applications. The first circuit does not require a license, but circuits two through four
each require one LIC670-SER PORT license.

Licensed Software Options
Some software options are activated with license codes. The following software options require a
license:
• Each CTX system (node) in a Strata Net QSIG Network requires one LIC670-QSIG NET
license. A maximum of four serial network nodes are allowed in any one serial chain in the
network topology.
• Each individual CTI Open Architecture application requires one LIC670-CSTA AP license
(maximum nine).

CTX670 Remote Expansion Cabinet
A CTX670 Expansion Cabinet can be located up to three kilometers from its Base Cabinet.
Remote Expansion Cabinets are enabled by the RRCU PCB. One RRCU connects to up to two
ribbon-type Data Cables and applies the inter-cabinet signal to a multi-mode fiber-optic pair. One
fiber pair can support one or two expansion cabinets in one remote location using one RRCU in the
Base Cabinet and another in the Remote Expansion Cabinet.
The CTX670 Base Cabinet supports up to six Remote Expansion Cabinets (at least one RRCU
PCB is required for each remote location).

System Capacities

Strata CTX Configuration
Worksheet Description

Worksheet Description
These configuration worksheets cover Strata CTX telephones, PCBs and cabinets; they do not
cover other peripheral equipment requirements.
Knowledge of all customer telephone requirements is needed to complete the worksheets. These
include all telephone sets, CO line types and Strata CTX system feature options for the main
location (with the Strata CTX Base Cabinet) and each remote location. A set of worksheets for the
main system location and a separate set of worksheets for each remote location must be completed.

CTX670 Remote Cabinet Configuration
Considerations
Several items must be considered when configuring a CTX670 system with Remote Cabinets.
(CTX100 systems do not support remote cabinet configurations).
1. Each location must be configured independently. Separate worksheets are needed for each
location to break down the line, trunk and service circuits by locations. Use the rules provided
in this chapter to determine the required quantities of PCBs.
2. Estimate the number of cabinets according to normal configuration worksheets.
3. Account for RRCU PCBs at each remote location (see Table 2-52 on page 2-38 in Worksheet
6). An RRCU PCB can support up to two Expansion Cabinets at one remote location. For
example, 18 PCBs at one remote location would require two Expansion Cabinets and one
RRCU card for the remote location.
4. If necessary, adjust the number of cabinets required. The maximum number of Expansion
Cabinets per system is six. The maximum number of remote locations is also six. The
maximum number of cabinets supported by one fiber connection is two.
5. Determine the total number of RRCU PCBs required at all remote locations (see Table 2-52 on
page 2-38 in Worksheet 6). Add the same number of RRCU cards to the configuration of the
Base Cabinet.
6. Validate the configuration. A valid configuration answers “yes” to the following questions.
• Do all cabinets (local and remote) comply with power limitations? The RRCU has a power
factor of 4.0. See Table 2-58 on page 2-43 in Worksheet 7.
• Are there six or fewer remote locations?
• Are there six or fewer RRCU cards in the Base Cabinet?
7. Order one cabinet cover (BCTC) and cable mesh shield (B50MT) for each remote location.
8. Digital Trunks – A Remote Cabinet can support all PCBs that can be installed in a local
Expansion Cabinet, including digital trunk cards. However, the system cannot derive network
clock synchronization from a digital trunk installed in a remote cabinet. This requires a digital
trunk installed in the Base Cabinet or in a local Expansion Cabinet connected to the Base by a
standard ribbon cable. For each Remote Cabinet location, local trunks may be required for
correct 911 service.

For cost-effective configurations, try to fit all PCBs into the CTX100 Base Cabinet. This allows up
to 16 loop start COs by 32 DKTs, and up to 24 T1 or PRI COs by 40 DKTs.
• If loop start CO and DKT combinations are required, use CTX100-ECONOPKG (RCOU,
ADKU with common equipment) for up to four CO by eight DKTs or CTX100-ECONOTWO
(two RCOU, two ADKU with common equipment) for eight CO lines by 16 DKTs or greater.
Otherwise, use CTX100-0X8PKG.
• If more than 16 channels are required on an RDTU, BPTU, RPTU, place PCB in S103. Slot 104
is available for another PCB.
• BIPU-M2A, BIPU-M1A or BIPU-Q1A can be installed in any slot to provide 16 channels.
• If 9~16 DKTs require Speaker OCA, place BDKU/BDKS PCBs in S103 if it is available.
• Place other required PCBs according to the guidelines herein.
• Consult the following tables of maximum system capacity slot configurations as guidelines for
PCB slot placement.
• Check system capacities in Tables 2-3~2-7 to confirm that the features to be used are within
limitations.

Worksheet 5: Strata CTX100 Cabinet Slots

Notes

1. Always check the cabinet power factors using Worksheet 7 to make sure the installed PCBs and
telephones do not exceed the power factor limitations.
2. ACTU processor optional subassembly functions (see “CTX100 Processor Optional
Subassemblies” on page 2-3). Any PCB plus its PCB subassembly can be installed in any slot
with the exception of RDTU, BPTU, RPTU PCBs that support more than 16 channels, and
BDKU/BDKS PCBs that support Speaker OCA.
3. RDTU, BPTU, RPTU PCBs can be placed in any odd numbered slot using the following rules:

• If RDTU, BPTU or RPTU is placed in Slots 101, 105, or 107 with 8 or 16 channels, another
PCB can still be installed in the next slot; however, if 17~24 channels are required the next
even slot must be vacant.
• RDTU and/or BPTU or RPTU can be placed in any odd slot. If more than 16 channels are
required, the next slot must be vacant, except if the PCB is placed in slot 103, which
provides up to 32 time slots for RDTU, BPTU, or RPTU. Max. BPTU or RDTU channels =
64; max. RPTU channels = 48.

Strata CTX
Configuration

• If RDTU, BPTU or RPTU is placed in Slot 103 (preferred) with 8, 16 or 24 channels,
another PCB can still be installed in S104.

• If only 16 B channels of PRI are needed, another card can be installed in the next slot. The
position of D-channels can still be set to the 24th channel because the data of the D-channel
is passed through the data highway, not the PCM highway. The position of the D-channel
doesn’t affect the installation of cards in the CTX.
4. Digital telephone PCBs that support Speaker OCA can be placed in slots using the following
rules:
• If ADKU, BDKU (without BDKS) or PDKU must support Speaker OCA, it can be installed
in any slot; another PCB can be installed in the next even slot.
• If a BWDKU or BDKU/BDKS PCB must support Speaker OCA it can only be installed in
Slot 103; another PCB can be installed in S104.

B101/B102 – Main processor slots. AMDS, BEXS, BBMS, BSIS are optional subassembly PCBs (see “CTX100
Processor Optional Subassemblies” on page 2-3).
Cabinet slots marked with * provide 8 time slots; all other slots provide 16 time slots.
BIPU-M and BIPU-Q can be installed in slots with 16 time slots only. Slots that provide 8 time slots (marked with *) do
not support BIPU cards. BIPU PCBs can only be placed in 16 channel slots.

Important!
●

●

●

●

If a BIPU-M or BIPU-Q is installed RCOU1A, RCOS1A RDDU1A, RGLU1A, RGLU2A, and two-wire
REMU cards should not be installed to avoid excessive Echo Return Loss (ERL).
Any combination of up to 96 (basic processor) or 264 (expanded processor) RPTU, BPTU and RDTU channels can be
installed in the CTX670.
RDTU, BPTU and RPTU PCBs can only be placed in odd slots of the Base Cabinet and slots S_01, S_03, and S_05 in
any Expansion Cabinet. If 17 or more channels are used, the next highest slot adjacent to the RDTU, BPTU, or RPTU
slot cannot be used. Slots adjacent to 8 or 16 channel RDTU, BPTU or RPTU PCBs can be used.
The maximum number of RDTU and/or RPTU cards is determined by the CTX system line capacity. Any number of line
interface cards (RDTU, RPTU, BPTU, RCOU/RCOS, REMU, RDDU, RGLU, BIPU-Q1A) can be installed, providing that
the quantity of lines and channels do not exceed the CTX system’s line capacity.
If only 16 B channels of PRI are needed, another card can be installed in the next slot. The position of D-channels can
still be set to the 24th channel because the data of the D-channel is passed through the data highway, not the PCM
highway. The position of the D-channel doesn’t affect the installation of cards in the CTX.
Network clock signals can only be derived from digital trunk PCBs, such as the RDTU and RPTU, that are installed in the Base
Cabinet (Master) location. Do not install these digital trunk cards into the Remote Cabinets.
BDKU, PDKU, RDSU without Speaker OCA can be in any available slot in any cabinet. BDKU, PDKU, RDSU with
Speaker OCA can be in any available slots in the Base and S_01~S_06 in all Exp. Cabs.
BDKU/BDKS or BWDKU without Speaker OCA can be in any available slots in the Base and S_01~S_06 in the
Expansion Cabs. It is recommended you not install Speaker OCA telephones on the BWDKU or BDKU/BDKS. If
you do, it must be in an odd slot and the next slot must be vacant.
If the BWDKU is placed in slots 7~10, it must be set for 8 circuits with PCB jumper and in Program 100.
Maximum 80 digital telephones per shelf due to the Power Factor restriction.
For more details, see the following Placement Guidelines section.

Worksheet 6: Strata CTX670 Cabinet Slots

PCB Placement Guidelines
Install the RRCU PCBs in the Base Cabinet first. Station, line and option PCBs can be mixed in
cabinets in any pattern. Do not skip slots except for vacant slots that provide RDTU, BPTU or
RPTU capacity. Also, do not skip slots except for vacant slots that provide for BBKU/BDKS with
Speaker OCA. Refer to Tables 2-54 and 2-55. Toshiba recommends placing the RDTU, BPTU or
RPTU, BWDKU and BDKU/BDKS PCBs first because they have special placement rules. Use the
following numbered sequence as a guide to installing the PCBs.
Important!

When placing PCBs, do not install more than five BWDKU or BDKU/BDKS PCBs
in the same cabinet. Five BWDKU or BDKU/BDKS PCBs support 80 digital
telephones, which brings the cabinet power factor to 82.25. Adding more PCBs of
any type to a cabinet that has five BWDKU or BDKU/BDKS PCBs may cause the
cabinet to exceed its power factor (85 max.). See Worksheet 7.

Step 1: Processor PCBs

• BCTU (slot B102) or the older BECU (Slot B101)/ BBCU (slot B102), are required for system
operation.
• The BCTU will support up to two cabinets without the BEXU. With the BEXU, up to 7
cabinets are supported.
• The BECU/BBCU supports up to two cabinets without the BEXS/BBMS expansion
subassemblies. BEXS and BBMS subassembly PCBs are required for 3 to 7 cabinet systems.
• BSIS subassembly PCB is required for SMDR and/or SMDI or Toshiba Proprietary Voice Mail
RS-232 interface.
Note The BECU/BBCU and BCTU is licensed for 64 ports and four DTMF receivers from the

factory. If more capacity is required additional licenses must be uploaded to the processor.
See “Worksheet 9 – Software Licenses” on page 2-54.
Step 2: Remote Cabinet PCBs

• RRCU PCBs installed in the main location must be placed in Base Cabinet slots S102~S108 in
any order. Before installing other PCBs make sure there is a Base Cabinet slot available for
each RRCU PCB needed. An RRCU may occupy a vacant slot adjacent to RDTU, BPTU or
RPTU. An RRCU PCB in a remote location can support one or two remote cabinets and can be
installed in any slot of either cabinet.
The number of RRCU PCBs required in the Base and Remote Cabinet locations is shown in

PCB
• See Worksheet 2: Standard Telephone, Stratagy DK, IVP8 to determine station PCB
requirements.
• BDKU (+ optional BDKS), PDKU, ASTU, BSTU, RSTU, RDSU/RSTS and the Stratagy DK:
Each PCB or PCB combination requires one slot. Refer to the Notes under the cabinet diagram
in Worksheet 6: Strata CTX670 Cabinet Slots to determine into which slots these PCBs can be
installed. BDKU/BDKS, PDKU, ASTU, BSTU, RSTU and RDSU/RSTS PCBs cannot be
installed in slots left vacant for RDTU or BPTU or RPTU. Each PCB provides up to eight
circuits for the type of stations or Voice Mail ports it supports, except BDKU with BDKS
which provides 16 circuits for digital telephones.

Step 7: ISDN BRI Digital Station PCBs

• See Worksheet 3: CO Line to determine BRI station PCB requirements.
• RBUU, RBUU with RBUS, RBSU, RBSU with RBSS: Each PCB or PCB combination
requires one slot. These PCBs can be installed in any slot, except a slot is left vacant to provide
capacity for RDTU, BPTU or RPTU as shown in Tables 2-54 and 2-55. Each single PCB
provides two BRI circuits and combination PCBs provide four BRI circuits, for the type of BRI
stations it supports. Each ISDN BRI station requires one BRI circuit.
Step 8: Analog and VoIP Tie Line PCBs

• RDDU, RCOU, RCOU with RCOS, RGLU, REMU, and BVPU: Each PCB or PCB
combination requires one slot. These PCBs can be installed in any slot, except a slot that is left
vacant to provide capacity for RDTU, BPTU or RPTU as shown in Tables 2-54 and 2-55. Each
PCB provides up to four circuits for the type of lines it supports, except RCOU with RCOS
which provides eight circuits.

Strata CTX
Configuration

• See Worksheet 3: CO Line to determine Analog and BVPU line PCB requirements.

Step 9: ISDN BRI Digital Line PCBs

• See Worksheet 3: CO Line to determine ISDN BRI line PCB requirements.
• RBUU, RBUU with RBUS, RBSU, RBSU with RBSS: Each PCB or PCB combination
requires one slot. These PCBs can be installed in any slot, except a slot that is left vacant to
provide capacity for RDTU, BPTU or RPTU as shown in Tables 2-54 and 2-55. Each single
PCB provides 2 BRI circuits (four lines) and combination PCBs provide four BRI circuits (8
lines), for the type of BRI Line it supports. Each ISDN BRI circuit provides two lines for the
Strata CTX system.
Step 10: Power Factor

• After the Cabinets are configured calculate the power factor of each cabinet using Worksheet 7
– System Power Factor Check.
Step 11: Check Systems Capacities

• Check systems capacities in Tables 2-3~2-7 to confirm the features to be used are within
limitations.

Strata CTX Configuration
Worksheet 7 – System Power Factor Check

Worksheet 7 – System Power Factor Check
The Strata CTX power supply was engineered for maximum cost efficiency to provide power for
the most configurations. Because of this design, there are some -24VDC power limitations for
telephone option hardware.
Each telephone/device and PCB has been assigned Power Factors (PFs) that reflect the amount of
power supply resources they consume. The Power Supply Unit has also been assigned Power
Factors that reflect how much power it can supply. To make sure the cabinet power supply is
operating within its limit, it is necessary to add up the PFs of each telephone/device and PCB
installed in each cabinet to verify that their total PFs do not exceed the Power Supply PF.
Use the worksheets on pages 2-44~2-45 to calculate that each cabinet’s PF is within limits.
Important!

Power Factor Considerations:
• The individual PCB and telephone power factors can be found on pages 2-43 and 2-44.
• The sum of all PCB and telephones –24VDC PFs in a given cabinet cannot exceed:
85 for CTX670
45 for CTX100

• The sum of all PCB +5VDC PFs in a given cabinet cannot exceed:
40 for CTX670
20 for CTX100

Telephones do not have +5VDC PFs.
• If a cabinet PF is exceeded it is necessary to reconfigure the cabinet to meet PF limits.
• If a cabinet’s Power Factor is exceeded, cabinet or connected peripherals may malfunction
during ringing or voice paging, whereas normal operation will occur for idle telephones.
• The Strata CTX100 and CTX670 power supplies provide a PF alarm LED and reset button. If
this LED is on, reset it with the reset button. Then recheck the cabinet PFs to make sure they
are within limits.
PCB Power Factor calculation examples are shown in Tables 2-56 and 2-57.

Two or four customer-supplied 12VDC reserve batteries (80 ampere-hours max.) can be connected
to either system to maintain normal operation during a power failure (see Tables 2-61~2-64). The
batteries are kept in a highly-charged state by the power supply’s battery charger and must be
connected when the system is operating normally. Fully charged batteries must be connected when
normal AC power is available, batteries cannot be connected after/during an actual power failure.
The battery changer is standard on the CTX670 power supply. An optional ABCS battery changer
must be used in the CTX100 power supply.

Primary/Reserve Power Cabinet Hardware
The type of cabinet mounting can have an effect the power requirements. There are two types of
mounting for the CTX100 and CTX670 (listed below).
• Cabinet Wall Mounting – The lightweight and compact design of CTX100 and CTX670
enables easy wall mounting. Wall Mounting requires no special hardware.
• Cabinet Floor Mounting – Only the CTX670 can be floor mounted (requires the BFIF
hardware kit). If floor mounting three or more cabinets, AC and reserve power must be
connected to the BCCB conduit connection box option by a licensed electrician. If more than
two cabinets require reserve power batteries, the BBDB must be installed.
Underwriters’ Laboratory (UL) and local electrical codes require certain standards for connecting
commercial AC and reserve power to the Strata CTX system. Tables 2-63 and 2-66 describe which
assemblies may be required to meet UL and local electrical code standards.
The power distribution hardware for the CTX100 is shown in Table 2-65.

One dedicated, isolated, 20 amp. AC circuit breaker with dual outlets is required.
N/A= If the system contains more than three cabinets and if the local code allows only one AC cord, the
system requires a BCCB120 conduit box wired by a certified electrician when using 120VAC as primary
power. Otherwise, 208VAC or 240VAC should be used as the primary power source (see cabinet power
options listed below). If more than five cabinets are installed, 208VAC or 240VAC is required.

The plugs and wall receptacles required by the local electrical code might differ for
208VAC and 240VAC. Thus in some areas of the U.S., the plug used on the Toshiba
240VAC power strip and 240VAC power supply cord (NEMA code 6-20P) can not
be used for 208VAC installations. In this case, when using 208VAC, the AC plugs on
the BPSB240 power strip cord that connects directly to the 208VAC wall outlet must
be changed by a certified electrician per the local electrical code.

This chapter explains how to install the Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 systems. It includes
information on site requirements, wiring diagrams, and step-by-step instructions on how to install
the unit(s), the ground wiring, AC power cabling, reserve power (battery backup) cabling, and
PCB cabling.

Inspection
Strata CTX100-S/
CTX100 Installation

1. When the system is received, examine all packages carefully and note any visible damage. If
any damage is found, do not open the packages. Contact the delivery carrier immediately and
make the proper claims.
2. After unpacking (and before installing), check the system against the packing list and inspect
all equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact your supplier
immediately.
3. Be sure to retain original packaging materials for re-use when storing or transporting system
hardware.

Packaging and Storage
CAUTION! When handling (installing, removing, examining) PCBs, do not touch the

back (soldered) side or edge connector. Always hold the PCB by its edges.
³ When packaging and storing the system, remove PCBs from the system cabinet (the power
supply may remain installed in the cabinet for storage and shipment). PCBs should be
packaged in their original antistatic bags for protection against electrostatic discharge. Be sure
to package equipment in its original shipping containers.

Site Requirements
This section defines the installation site requirements necessary to ensure a proper operating
environment for the CTX100. Also included are grounding requirements.

Input Power
The Base Cabinet or the Base and Expansion Cabinet together require an input power source of
120VAC, 60 Hz, 15 amps. Each cabinet plugs into an AC power outlet. Each cabinet requires 1.8
amps AC from the power source or 3.6 amps AC combined. The power supply cord for each
cabinet is 4.5 ft. long with a standard three-prong 120VAC plug.

Strata CTX I&M

06/04

3-1

Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 Installation
Site Requirements

The AC outlet is recommended to be dedicated and unswitched, with a solid third-wire ground.
(See “AC Power and Grounding Requirements” on page 3-4.) This eliminates interference from
branch circuit motor noise or the like, and to prevent accidental power-off. To avoid accidental
power turn-off, Toshiba recommends that you do not use an On/Off wall switch on this dedicated
AC circuit.
For the Strata CTX100, a reserve power source (two or four customer-supplied 12VDC batteries)
may be connected to the system to serve as a power failure backup.

Cabinet Size and Weight
The wall that will support the CTX100 should be able to support 35 lbs. The weight of each
cabinet is shown in Table 2-1 on page 2-2.

Clearance and Location
The minimum clearance requirements for the Strata CTX100 Base and Expansion cabinets are
shown in Figure 3-1.
Consider the following conditions when selecting a location for the Cabinet(s):
The location must be:
• Dry and clean
• Well ventilated
• Well illuminated
• Easily accessible
The location must not be:
• Subject to extreme heat or cold
• Subject to corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
• Subject to excessive vibration
• Next to television, radio, office automation, or high frequency equipment
If reserve power is to be installed for the Strata CTX100, the batteries will require a wellventilated location close (within nine feet) to the CTX100 (the optional Toshiba-supplied battery
cable is nine feet in length).

AC Power and Grounding Requirements
The CTX100 requires a solid earth ground for proper operation. The five ft. AC power cord
contains a conductor for the “third-wire ground” provided by the commercial power outlet. The
third-wire ground should be the only ground necessary for each CTX100 cabinet; this ground must
originate at the building’s main power distribution panel and have a solid connection to earth
ground. (See Figure 3-2.)

CAUTION! Lack of proper ground may cause improper operation and, in extreme cases,

system failure.
An inter-cabinet ground wire connecting the Base and Expansion cabinets is not necessary.

Power Considerations
The power supply in each Strata CTX100 Base and Expansion Cabinet furnishes power to all of
the PCBs and stations and some of the interface peripherals. The primary AC power for each
cabinet is 120VAC (see Table 2-59 on page 2-47).

Strata CTX100-S/CTX100 Installation
AC Power and Grounding Requirements

AC Power and Third-wire Ground Test
Test the “third-wire ground” for continuity by either measuring the resistance between the third
prong terminal (earth ground) and a metal cold water pipe (maximum: 1 ohm), or by using a
commercially available earth ground indicator. If neither procedure is possible, perform the
following earth ground test procedure.
WARNING! Hazardous voltages that may cause death or injury are exposed during the
following test. Use great care when working with AC power line voltage.

³ To perform the earth ground test procedure

CAUTION! If a reading of zero volts is obtained on both voltage terminals (white wire to

green wire, black wire to green wire), the outlet is not properly grounded.
Omit Steps 5 and 6, and see following CAUTION!
5. If a reading of zero volts on one terminal, and a reading of 100~125VAC on the other terminal
is obtained, remove both probes from the outlet.
6. Set the meter to the “OHMS/Rx1” scale. Place one probe on the ground terminal, and the other
probe on the terminal that produced a reading of zero volts. The reading should be less than 1
ohm.

Strata CTX100-S/
CTX100 Installation

1. Obtain a suitable voltmeter, and set it for a possible reading of up to 250VAC.
2. Connect the meter probes between the two main AC voltage terminals (white and black wires)
on the wall outlet. The reading obtained should be between 100~125VAC.
3. Move one of the meter probes to the third terminal (green wire ground). Either the same
reading or a reading of zero volts should be obtained.
4. If the reading is zero volts, leave one probe on the ground terminal and move the other probe to
the second voltage terminal.

CAUTION! If the reading is more than one ohm, then the outlet is not adequately

grounded. If the above tests show the outlet AC voltage is not in range or is
not properly grounded, the condition should be corrected (per Article 250 of
the National Electrical Code) by a qualified electrician before the system is
connected.

Alternate or Additional Ground
If the “third-wire” AC ground can not practically be improved or if extreme motor noise or other
disturbance causes system malfunction, or if local area lightning storms exist, a separate direct
ground may be warranted.
Connect an alternate earth ground from a cold water pipe or earth grounding rod directly to the
screw terminal on the CTX100 power supply (see Figure 3-2).

Installing the CTX100 Cabinet

Step 11: Check the Base/Expansion Power Supply Jumper
Plug
The APSU112A power supply is used in both CTX100 cabinets.
³ Check that the “BASE/EXP.” jumper plug is connected to the proper power supply connector
as shown in Figure 3-14. The power supply has two connectors: one is labeled “BASE” and
the other “EXP.”
• If the power supply is mounted in the CTX100 Base Cabinet, the “BASE/EXP.” jumper
plug must be plugged into the “BASE” connector.
• If the power supply is mounted in the CTX100 Expansion cabinet, the jumper plug must be
plugged into the “EXP.” connector.

Step 12: Mount the Base Cabinet
WARNING! To prevent electrical shock, make sure the power supply is not plugged into
the AC outlet.

Note The Base Cabinet AC power cord is four feet, five inches long.

2. Attach a 1/2” thick plywood back board to the wall where the CTX100 will be installed. Secure
the back board to the wall with screws attached to the wall studs, shown in Figure 3-5.
3. Place the Base Cabinet back cover at the desired location on the back board using a level and
mark the location of the four screw holes (there is one on each corner).
4. Drill holes on these marks.
5. Secure the top two screws approximately two thirds of the way into the top two holes on the
back board.
6. Hang the Base Cabinet back cover from the top two screws and then secure the top and bottom
screws completely into the back board. The base back cover should now be tightly secured to
the back board. See Figure 3-5.
7. To mount the Base Cabinet, position the cabinet hanger holes onto back cover hangers (two on
top and two on the bottom as shown in Figure 3-6). Slide the cabinet to the left.
8. Secure the Base Cabinet to the back cover with a screw through the left side bracket of the back
cover to the Base Cabinet. (See Screw “A” in Figure 3-5.)
9. If you are installing an Expansion Cabinet, go to “Step 13: Mount the Expansion Cabinet (if
required)” on page 3-9. Follow the steps, then return to these steps.
10. Ground the system according to “AC Power and Grounding Requirements” on page 3-4.
11. Go to “Step 16: Set Jumpers and Install Option PCBs onto the ACTU” on page 3-20.

Step 15: Check Power Supply Circuit Breakers and Fuses
This step is only needed if you experience problems with the system.
WARNING! Whenever the cabinet top cover is removed, use extreme caution. Do not
touch any internal power supply components because hazardous voltages
may be exposed. Whenever adding/removing power supply components or
checking circuit breakers and fuses, unplug the power supply AC plug from
the AC source outlet.

Step 7A: Check the -24 Volt Circuit Breakers
The APSU112 provides two -24v circuit breakers as shown in Figure 3-14. If a low resistance
between –24 volts and ground exists the circuit breaker will trip. Usually the front panel DC green
LED indicator will turn off but not always. Also if AC power is recycled the DC LED indicator
may turn back on – even if the –24 volt circuit breaker is tripped.
Circuit Breaker Location and Slot Assignments (see Figure 3-14)

• The circuit breaker V2, located next to the BASE jumper connector, protects the third and
fourth cabinet slots.
Reset Circuit Breaker
1. A defective PCB or an external short on the MDF may cause the circuit breaker to trip.
2. If you suspect that a –24 volt circuit breaker has tripped, try to reset it by:

Strata CTX100-S/
CTX100 Installation

• The circuit breaker V1, located directly below the FG screw, protects the first and second
cabinet slots.

• Turn the power supply DC power switch off and unplug the power supply AC power cord
from the AC outlet – the inside of the power supply has exposed voltages.
• Gently press in each circuit breaker and listen for or try to feel it click. If the breaker was
tripped, you will hear or feel it click back to the set position.
• If the circuit breaker resets, pull the PCBs and check for MDF shorts associated with the
slots assigned to the tripped circuit breaker. Remove any defective PCBs and MDF shorts.
• Restore power and verify the system is working normally.
3. Replace the power supply if the circuit breaker continues to trip and a defective PCB or short
cannot be found. See “Step 7D: Remove and Replace the Power Supply (if required)” on page
3-17.
Step 7B: Check the AC Power Fuses
The APSU112 provides two AC power fuse as shown in Figure 3-14. If low resistance to ground
exists the fuse may blow. The front panel AC green LED indicator will turn off.
If you suspect that a AC fuse has blown you may check it by:
1. Turn the power supply DC power switch off and unplug the power supply AC power cord from
the AC outlet – the inside of the power supply has exposed voltages.
2. Remove each fuse and check that it is less than 0.3 ohms. Replace the fuse if it is defective. The
fuse size is T6.3AH 250V.
3. If you replace the fuse and it continues to blow, pull the PCBs and check for cabinet shorts.
Remove any defective PCBs and cabinet shorts.

4. Replace the power supply if the fuse continues to blow and a defective PCB or short cannot be
found. See “Step 7D: Remove and Replace the Power Supply (if required)” on page 3-17.
Step 7C: Check the Power Factor Indicator and Reset Button
The front panel of APSU112 provides a Power Factor LED and Reset button. If the cabinet power
factor is exceeded by overload of PCBs, the PF LED will turn on.
³ If the PF LED indicator turns on, press the PF reset button with a pointed tool or pencil. If the
PF LED turns off and does not turn on again it may have been turned on by a current surge
while installing a PCB while the power supply was turned-on.
³ When a PF alarm is indicated, check that the cabinet power factor is not exceeded using
“Worksheet 7 – System Power Factor Check” on page 2-42. If the Power factor has been
exceeded relocate any PCBs that are causing the PF to be exceeded.

Site Requirements
Input Power
The CTX670 requires an input power source of 115±10VAC or 208±20VAC or 240±20VAC, 50/
60 Hz, single phase. For up to five cabinets; 208VAC or 240VAC is required for six or seven
cabinets. The system requires one or two AC outlets that must be dedicated to system use, fused,
and grounded.
Each Remote Expansion Cabinet requires 3.2 amps. maximum. The remote cabinet installation
requires one or two AC outlets that must be dedicated to system use, fused, and grounded.
See Cabinet Installation Considerations for complete AC power cabling, ground wiring and
battery installation instructions for local and remote cabinets.
CAUTION! To avoid accidental power turn-off, do not use an On/Off wall switch for AC

circuits dedicated for the use of CTX670.
A reserve power source (two or four customer-supplied 12VDC batteries) can be connected to the
CTX670 to serve as a backup in case of power failure.
Separate reserve power may be required for remote expansion cabinets.

Clearance and Location
The Base and optional Expansion Cabinets can be either floor or wall mounted. Figure 4-1 shows
the minimum clearance requirements for up to seven cabinets.
Notes

• Floor mounting requires the following additional hardware:
• BFIF – floor mounting stands and brackets.
• BCCB – electrical conduit box, if three or more cabinets are installed.
• Wall mounting requires a plywood (3/4 inch thick) backboard.
When selecting a location for the cabinets, the location must be:
• Dry and clean
• Well-ventilated
• Well-illuminated
• Easily accessible
The location must not be:
• Subject to extreme heat or cold
• Subject to corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
• Subject to excessive vibration
• Next to television, radio, office automation, or high frequency equipment
Optional customer-supplied reserve batteries require a well-ventilated location close (within nine
feet) to the CTX670 cabinets.

Power Considerations

Power Considerations
Each CTX670 Base and Expansion Cabinet houses a power supply that furnishes power to all of
the stations and some of the peripherals that interface with the cabinet (see Table 2-60, “Strata
CTX670 Electrical Characteristics” on page 2-47).

Reserve Power
Two or four customer-supplied 12VDC reserve batteries can be connected to the system to
maintain normal operation during a power failure (see Table 2-63 on page 2-49 and Table 2-60 on
page 2-47). The batteries are kept in a highly-charged state by the standard power supply and must
be connected when the system is operating normally. Fully charged batteries must be connected
when normal AC power is available, batteries cannot be connected after/during an actual power
failure.
Underwriters’ Laboratory (UL) and local electrical codes require certain standards for connecting
commercial AC and reserve power to the CTX670 system. Table 4-1 describes which assemblies
may be required to meet UL and local electrical code standards.

Cabinet Installation Considerations

Cabinet Installation Considerations
The Base (CHSUB672) and Expansion (CHSUE672) Cabinets can be wall or floor mounted. To
make it easier to add cabinets (after the initial installation) when a customer needs to expand,
install the Base Cabinet on top for wall-mount installations and on the bottom for floor-mount
installations.
The dimensions of the Base and Expansion Cabinets are:
Height:

Base Cabinet: 11 3/4 inches

Height:

Expansion Cabinet/Remote Expansion Cabinet: 10 inches

Width:

26 1/2 inches

Depth:

10 5/8 inches

Weight:

approx. 30.5 lbs. (14 kg.)

Note The weight approximates a cabinet completely filled with PCBs. Weight may vary slightly,

depending on PCBs.

Recommended Installation Sequence
Step
1.

Install power supplies in cabinets.

Reference Information
“Install Power Supply” on page 4-6.
“Wall Mounting the Base (Top) Cabinet” on page 4-10.

2. Mount cabinets on wall or floor.
“Cabinet Floor Mounting” on page 4-33.
3. Install ground wiring.

“Ground the System” on page 4-18.

4. Install AC power cabling to cabinets.

“Install AC Power Components” on page 4-20.

5. Install reserve power cabling.

“Install Reserve Power” on page 4-29.

6. Install PCBs and PCB cabling.

Figures 4-38~4-23, 4-42 and the section titled “Install
Processor and Universal PCBs” on page 4-43.

Note Each cabinet requires four wood screws (#12 X 2 inch size) for wall mount installation.

Wood screws are not provided with the system.

Step 1: Install Power Supply
The Base and Expansion Cabinets are factory-shipped without the power supply installed. The
CTX670 cabinets use the BPSU672 power supply, which is different from the DK280 or DK424.

³ To install power supplies in cabinets of new or installed systems
1. Remove the power supply from its box. The power supply AC power cord for 120VAC and the
power supply mounting screws are provided with the KSU cabinet. If the system is to be
powered by 208VAC or 240VAC, another powered cord, BACL240 must be ordered separately
for each power supply.
2. Make sure that the front and right side covers are removed from the cabinet (see Figure 4-5).
3. Slide the power supply into the right side of the cabinet so that its four mounting holes align
with the four cabinet mounting holes. (Make sure that the two backplane FG wires are
positioned between the FG wire holder and the power supply.)

4-6

Strata CTX I&M

06/04

Strata CTX670 Installation
Install Power Supply

Note The backplane FG wires are not safety grounds: they are required for proper system CO line

operation.
4. Plug the Back Plane DC OUT cable plug into the DC OUT connector on the power supply.
(The plug has a guide key on it to ensure that it is plugged in correctly.)
5. Secure the FG wire spade lug to the power supply with the FG screw.
6. Secure the power supply to the cabinet with the four provided screws.
7. If the cabinet is the Base Unit, a standalone Remote Expansion Cabinet, or the first in a stack of
Remote Expansion Cabinets. Set the Exp/Base switch to the “Base” position (see Figure 4-3).
8. If the cabinet is an Expansion Unit, set the Exp/Base switch to the “Exp” position.
Important!

The power supply set as “Base” is the master and has On/Off control over all other
power supplies, which are designated as slaves. If the master power supply is turned
Off or On, all other power supplies will automatically turn Off or On. (Individual
slave power supplies must be turned On.)

9. See Figure 4-3 to ensure that the power supply is properly installed.
10. Install power supplies in all cabinets, using Steps 1~9 of this procedure.
11. Install the Base and optional Expansion Cabinets, ground wiring, and cabinet bonding plates,
AC and reserve power cabling, and PCB cabling per the “Recommended Installation
Sequence” on page 4-6.

Check the -24 Volt Circuit Breakers
The BPSU672A provides four -24v circuit breakers as shown in Figure 4-3. If a low resistance
between –24 volts and ground exists the circuit breaker will trip. Usually the front panel DC green
LED indicator will turn off but not always. Also if AC power is recycled the DC LED indicator
may turn back on – even if the –24 volt circuit breaker is tripped.

• The circuit breaker 24V1~24V4, located directly below DC-out cable, protects the cabinet slots
as shown in the Circuit Breaker assignment table.

Strata CTX670
Installation

Circuit Breaker Location and Slot Assignments (see Figure 4-3)

Reset Circuit Breaker
1. A defective PCB or an external short on the MDF may cause the circuit breaker to trip.
2. If you suspect that a –24 volt circuit breaker has tripped, try to reset it by:
• Turn the power supply DC power switch off and unplug the power supply AC power cord
from the AC outlet – the inside of the power supply has exposed voltages.
• Gently press in each circuit breaker and listen for or try to feel it click. If the breaker was
tripped, you will hear or feel it click back to the set position.
• If the circuit breaker resets, pull the PCBs and check for MDF shorts associated with the
slots assigned to the tripped circuit breaker. Remove any defective PCBs and MDF shorts.
• Restore power and verify the system is working normally.
3. Replace the power supply if the circuit breaker continues to trip and a defective PCB or short
cannot be found.

Install Power Supply

Check the Power Factor Indicator and Reset Button
The front panel of BPSU672A provides a Power Factor LED and Reset button. If the cabinet
power factor is exceeded by overload of PCBs, the PF LED will turn on.
³ If the PF LED indicator turns on, press the PF reset button with a pointed tool or pencil. If the
PF LED turns off and does not turn on again it may have been turned on by a current surge
while installing a PCB while the power supply was turned-on.
³ When a PF alarm is indicated, check that the cabinet power factor is not exceeded using the
“Worksheet 7 – System Power Factor Check” on page 2-42. If the Power factor has been
exceeded relocate any PCBs that are causing the PF to be exceeded.

Power Supply (BPSU672) Removal
1. Remove the front and right side covers (Figure 4-5) from the cabinet. Remove the right side
covers of other cabinets as needed to disconnect wiring.
2. Turn the power supply Off, and disconnect the AC power cord, all ground wiring and reserve
power cabling that is connected to the power supply.
3. Disconnect the back plane DC OUT cable plug from the DC OUT connector.
4. Loosen the four mounting screws securing the power supply to the cabinet and remove the
power supply.

Power Supply Replacement
³ Install the replacement power supply per “Install Power Supply” on page 4-6.

Mount Cabinets

Step 2: Mount Cabinets
There are two methods of mounting cabinets: wall or floor mounting. Wall mounting the most
common and economical method is described below. The floor mounting description begins on
page 4-33.
Note Toshiba recommends installing cabinets (see Figures 4-4~4-10) from the top down, Base

Cabinet on top, first Expansion Cabinet below it, second cabinet below that, etc.

Wall Mounting the Base (Top) Cabinet
Follow these instructions to wall mount the Base Cabinet or the first Remote Expansion Cabinet.
A wooden backboard between the cabinet and the wall is necessary (see Figure 4-4).
1. Obtain a board, such as plywood, that is at least 3/4 of an inch thick. The board should be at
least 6-1/2 feet high (completely expanded systems with seven cabinets require this much
height) and 26 inches wide (minimum).
Secure the board to the wall with wood screws with the bottom edge of the board is six inches
above the floor. (If there are wall studs, make sure the screws align with the studs.)
2. Remove the front, back, and side covers from the Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion
Cabinet (see Figure 4-5).
Note The two screws on the front cover and the two screws on each side cover should be

loosened just enough to slide the covers off. The front cover slides left and the side covers
swing out and down for removal.
3. Hold the Base Cabinet back cover against the wall or backboard so that its two top mounting
holes are approximately 6-1/2 feet (78 inches) above the floor. This allows up to seven cabinets
to be installed (top-down) with a six-inch clearance between the floor and bottom cabinet (see
Figures 4-6 and 4-7).
4. Use a level to make sure that the back cover is held level.
5. Trace the upper arch of the top mounting holes with a pencil.
6. Remove the back cover from the wall. Draw a line between the top two marking hole marks.
7. Drill holes on the line in the middle of the arch tracing.
8. Screw #12 X 2 inch size wood screws into the two drilled holes, leaving about 1/8 of an inch
clearance between the screw heads and the wall.
9. Hang the Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion Cabinet back cover from the top two screws
and secure the screws into the wall.
10. Drill holes at the bottom two mounting holes of the back cover, and secure #12 X 2 inch wood
screws into the two holes.
11. If installing a Base Cabinet or first Remote Expansion Cabinet back cover to the wall: Position
the cabinet on the back cover cabinet hangers, slide the cabinet right to the proper mounting
position, and secure the cabinet to the back cover with two screws on the right side of the
cabinet. If installing Expansion Cabinets, skip to “Wall Mounting Expansion Cabinets” on page
4-11.
12. Install ground wiring, AC and reserve power cabling, and PCB cabling per the “Recommended
Installation Sequence” on page 4-6.
13. Fill out the slot identification label on the cabinet (see Figure 4-8).
14. Reinstall the front cover, top cover, and side covers onto the cabinet.

Mount Cabinets

Wall Mounting Expansion Cabinets
1. Remove the front, back, and side covers from the Expansion Cabinets.
Note The two screws on the front cover and the two screws on each side cover should be

loosened just enough to slide the covers off. The front cover slides left and the side covers
swing out and down for removal.
2. Hold an Expansion Cabinet back cover against the wall so that its top locating parts align with
the bottom locating parts of the Base Cabinet back cover (see Figure 4-4 on page 4-12). To
secure the Expansion Cabinet back cover to the back board, repeat Steps 5~11 from “Wall
Mounting the Base (Top) Cabinet” on page 4-10.
3. To install additional Expansion Cabinet back covers, repeat Step 2 above.
4. Starting with the top Expansion Cabinet back cover (which is fastened to the wall), position an
Expansion Cabinet on the back cover cabinet hangers. Slide the cabinet to the right to the
proper mounting position, and secure the cabinet to the back cover with two screws to the right
side of the back cover. Repeat for all other Expansion Cabinets.
5. Loosen the bonding connection plates fastened on both sides of the first Expansion Cabinet
(see Figure 4-9) then fasten the plates between the Base Cabinet and the first Expansion
Cabinet. Repeat to connect the first Expansion Cabinet to the second Expansion Cabinet, etc.
6. Base Cabinet: Loosen data cable door locking screws and open data cable doors; then connect
the first Expansion Cabinet data cable to the “CAB 2” (top) data cable connector on the Base
Cabinet. Install data cables in appropriate connectors for all other Expansion Cabinets. (See
Figure 4-12.
7. After all data cables are installed, close data cable doors and secure with the locking screw.
Important!

Data cable door screws must be firmly tightened for proper system operation. Data
cables for DK280 and DK424 cabinets are not compatible with CTX670 cabinets.

Ground the System

Step 4: Ground the System
The system requires a solid earth ground for proper operation and safety. The AC power cord(s)
already contains a conductor for the “third wire ground” provided by the commercial power outlet
(see Figure 4-11, for grounding points “A” and “B”). An insulated conductor must connect the
frame ground terminal on the Base Cabinet to a cold water pipe or the building ground (point “B”).
Before connecting the system to the AC power source, measure the impedance of the building
ground reference. If the ground path connected to the system has an impedance of 1 ohm or more,
a better ground must be installed. In Figure 4-11, the grounding path between point “A” and the
single point ground “B” must be less than 0.25 ohms.
The “third wire ground” coming from the primary AC power outlet must be dedicated and must be
routed through the same conduit as the phase conductors serving the system. The conductor
connected to the frame ground (FG screw) on the system power supply must be insulated and
comply with the general rules for grounding contained in Article 250 of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70, but must not depend on the cord and plug of the system.
If the CTX670 system consists of more than one cabinet, you must install the bonding connection
plates that come attached to each expansion cabinet. Refer to Figure 4-9. Connect the mother
board ground wires and the intercabinet ground wires per Figure 4-11.
Wrap the cable mesh shield (part No. B50MT) around the 25-pair communication cables that carry
stations over tip and ring, per Figure 4-10.
WARNING! Failure to provide a proper ground may be a safety hazard to service
personnel or lead to confusing trouble symptoms. In extreme cases, system
failure may result because the system is not properly protected from lighting
or power transients.

Install AC Power Components

Step 5: Install AC Power Components
AC Power Requirements
The Strata CTX670 requires a single-phase, 50/60 cycles power source of 120, 208, or 240VAC,
on a dedicated 20 ampere circuit breaker. 208VAC or 240VAC is required for six or seven cabinet
systems.
The CTX670 power supply, BPSU672, automatically detects and adjusts for the type of AC
voltage (120/208/240) to which it is connected.
Toshiba recommends that a dedicated AC service panel be used for the CTX670. AC outlets must
be dedicated to CTX670 use, fused, and grounded. Equipment unrelated to the CTX670 must not
be connected to the circuit or service panel dedicated to the CTX670.
Note It may not always be possible to power a complete CTX670 from a single circuit breaker

panel. For example, in the case where a cabinet is remotely located.
To avoid accidental turn-off, do not configure the outlet serving the CTX670 with an On/Off
switch. AC outlets serving the cabinets must be close enough so that the power cord from the
cabinet power supply or power strip can reach the outlet (these power cords are nine ft.).
AC wall outlets for the CTX670 must be on dedicated 20amp breakers. AC outlets must meet
National Electrical codes specifications: NEMA 5-20R for 120VAC or NEMA 6-20R for
208VAC/240VAC.
AC power cabling requirements vary, depending on: The method of cabinet installation (floor or
wall mount), AC power source voltage (120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC) and the number of
cabinets. Requirements for distribution of AC power within the cabinets of the CTX670 are as
described in Cabinet AC Power Distribution section.

Cabinet AC Power Considerations
The CTX670 power supply works with either 120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC. CTX670 only
requires 120VAC (up to three cabinets if one AC cord is allowed or five cabinets if two AC cords
are allowed – see below).
If the system has more then five cabinets, 208VAC or 240AVC is required for the primary AC
power source. 208VAC or 240VAC can always be optionally used for systems with five or less
cabinets for future growth or, if the electrical code requires.
To determine AC power requirements, you need to check local electrical code requirements for
120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC primary power. Some electrical codes stipulate that:
• 208VAC or 240VAC is required for telephones systems
• Only one electrical cord can connect to the telephone system.
• Only two electrical cords can connect to the telephone system.
• No electrical cord can connect to the telephone system – must use conduit wiring installed by a
certified electrician (example: when system is floor mounted).

Cabinet AC Power Component Requirements for Wall Mounted
Systems
Tables 4-2 and 4-3 show the cabinet parts required to distribute AC power for various
configurations of the CTX670 cabinets. Figures 4-14~4-17 show how to install these parts.

The plugs and wall receptacles required by the local electrical code might differ for
208VAC and 240VAC. Thus in some areas of the U.S., the plug used on the Toshiba
240VAC power strip and 240VAC power supply cord (NEMA code 6-20P) can not
be used for 208VAC installations. In this case, when using 208VAC, the AC plugs on
the BPSB240 power strip cord that connects directly to the 208VAC wall outlet must
be changed by a certified electrician per the local electrical code.

Install Reserve Power

Step 6: Install Reserve Power
Two or four customer-supplied, 12VDC batteries (80 amp hours maximum) can be connected to
the system as a power failure backup. In the event of a power failure, the system automatically
switches over to battery power without any interruption to existing calls or other normal system
functions.
Important!

Batteries must be connected when normal AC power is available; they cannot be
connected during an AC power failure situation.

The length of time reserve power operates depends on the system, size and number of batteries
provided, and the system load. Typical reserve power duration estimates and battery specifications
are estimated with the following considerations (see Table 4-4):
• Batteries have full charge at start of operation.
• Two or four batteries connected per Figure 4-18.
• Batteries are 12VDC, rated at 80 amp/hours each.
• System is operating at full load traffic with LCD phones.
• Batteries used for this test are gel-cell and maintenance-free. Reserve duration will vary
depending upon battery type, age, and manufacturer. These figures should only be used as an
estimate.

PBTC-3M

Description
A three-meter battery cable used to connect reserve power batteries to the system power
supply when the system has less than three cabinets. One reserve power cable is required
for each cabinet in a one or two cabinet system (wall or floor mount). The cable connects the
CTX670 cabinet power supply directly to the battery terminals (a BBDB is not required).
CTX670 reserve power battery distribution box is required when connecting reserve power
batteries to three or more cabinets (wall or floor mount). The box is field installed into one of
the CTX670 cabinet side panels.

BBDB

The BBDB provides seven BBTC2A-2.0M, battery distribution cables to connect reserve
power from the BDDB box to each individual cabinet power supply.
One or two BBTC1A-2.0M must be ordered separately when using the BBDB battery
distribution box.

BBTC1A-2.0M

A two-meter battery cable used to connect reserve power batteries to the BBDB battery
distribution box. One reserve power cable is required in a three or four cabinet system and
two cables are required for five or more cabinet systems (wall or floor mount). The cable
connects CTX670 BBDB box directly to the battery terminals.

Reserve Power for One or Two Cabinets (Wall Mount)
1. Connect the black jumper wire (supplied with the PBTC-3M cable) from the positive terminal
of one 12VDC battery to the negative terminal of the second 12VDC battery (Figure 4-18).
2. Ensure that a serviceable 10-amp fuse is installed in the in-line fuse holder of the PBTC-3M
cable.
3. Connect the PBTC-3M battery cable white lead to the open positive terminal of the 12VDC
battery. Connect the black lead to the open negative terminal of the second 12VDC battery.
Important!

The cabinet(s) must be connected to the (live) AC power source, and the power
supply On/Off switch set to On prior to the final step of connecting the reserve
power batteries to the power supply via the BATT+/- receptacle. If the batteries are
connected after AC power is lost, reserve power will not function.

4. Connect the PBTC-3M battery cable two-prong male plug to the Base Cabinet power supply
BATT +/- receptacle.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to connect a PBTC-3M to the Expansion Cabinet.

Install Reserve Power

Reserve Power/AC Wiring for Three or More Cabinets (Floor
Mount)
Floor-mounted systems with three or more cabinets require a Conduit Connection Box (BCCB) to
connect reserve power cabling and AC power cabling to the system. Only a qualified electrician
can install cabling between the reserve power batteries and AC power cabling to the conduit
connection box. All other steps required to install reserve power, including installation of the
Battery Distribution Box (BBDB), can be accomplished by the normal system installer.

³ To connect reserve power to floor-mounted systems with three or more cabinets
See Figures 4-12~4-17 and follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Conduit Connection Box is installed on the bottom base cabinet (see Figure
4-24). The box can be installed by the regular system installer.
2. Have a licensed electrician install conduit and battery cabling to the Conduit Connection Box
per local electrical codes. The remaining steps in this procedure can be performed by the
regular system installer (see Figure 4-25).
3. Install the Battery Distribution Box on the second cabinet (the cabinet directly above the
bottom cabinet), see Figure 4-24.
4. Plug the two Conduit Connection Box cables (coming from the left side of the BCCB box) into
the Battery Distribution Box (BBDB).
Important!

The cabinets must be connected to the (live) AC power source, and the power supply
On/Off switches set to On prior to the final step of connecting the reserve power
batteries to the power supplies via the BATT +/- receptacle. If the batteries are
connected after AC power is lost, reserve power will not function.

5. Connect cables from the (BBDB) Battery Distribution Box to the BATT +/- receptacle of
individual power supplies. BBTC2A-2M cables come with each BBDB distribution box (see
Figure 4-12).
6. To test reserve power operation, turn off the system AC power circuit breaker with power
supply On/Off switches in the On position. The system should continue to operate without
interruption.
Note AC/DC wiring and conduit must be installed by a licensed electrician per local electrical

code (conduit trade size is 1/2 inch).
See “Install Reserve Power” on page 4-29 for battery specifications and wiring guidelines.

This section provides procedures for the installation of CTX670 processor (or common control)
PCBs.
The CTX670 system Base and Expansion Cabinets are shipped empty. PCBs are not installed at
the factory. Universal PCBs must be placed according to the configuration information obtained
and developed in Chapter 1 – Configuration. PCB installation is in Chapter 6 – PCB Installation.
• Install PCBs only after installing the Base Cabinet and, if applicable, Expansion Cabinets per
the Cabinet Installation section in this chapter.
• Be sure the power supply has been tested and the ground has been checked (see “Install Power
Supply” on page 4-6.
• Install universal slot PCBs per the CTX670 configuration guidelines (see “Worksheet 6: Strata
CTX670 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-37.
• Install the metal mesh shield, B50MT around the 25-pair cables connected to PCBs per Figure
4-10.
Important!

After all PCBs are installed, be sure to slide the locking bar into the lock position to
ensure that the PCBs remain in place (see Figure 4-3 on page 4-9).

PCB Installation Considerations
The Base Cabinet has ten slots. The first two slots, labeled “B101” and “B102” are reserved for the
common control unit and future feature upgrades. The next eight slots (labeled “S101” ~“S108”)
are universal and capable of hosting any of the station, line, and option interface PCBs compatible
with the CTX670 systems.

Cabinets are numbered from 1 to 7. The Base Cabinet is numbered 1; the first Expansion Cabinet,
number 2; the second Expansion Cabinet, number 3, etc. See the CTX670 Configuration and PCB
Installation section for details.

Strata CTX670
Installation

The Expansion Cabinets have ten universal slots, labeled “S_01,” “S_02,” etc., where the blank
space of the label represents the number of the Expansion Cabinet. Like the universal slots in the
Base Cabinet, these universal slots are capable of hosting any of the station, line, and option
interface PCBs.

PCB Option Considerations
CTX670 PCBs can be configured for a variety of hardware and software options. Hardware
options are defined as either internal (generally related to optional PCB subassemblies) or external
(related to connection of peripheral equipment such as background music, voice mail, etc.).
Hardware Options
Some PCBs must be configured for hardware options prior to installation of the PCB in the
cabinet. Configuration instructions for internal hardware options are provided in the individual
PCB installation procedures in this chapter and in Chapter 6 – PCB Installation. Configuration
instructions for external hardware options are provided in Chapter 12 – Peripheral Installation.
Software Options
PCBs are configured for software options through programming, following the installation
instructions of the PCBs. A programming overview for each PCB is provided in the individual

PCB installation procedures in this chapter. Refer to the Strata CTX Programming Manual for
detailed programming instructions.

BCTU1A/BEXU1A Installation
This section explains how to install the new BCTU/BEXU processor PCBs into Strata CTX670
telephone systems. The BCTU/BEXU processor PCBs require Strata CTX Release 2.1, or higher,
software and CTX WinAdmin Release 2.1, or higher, software.
The BCTU can be installed without the BEXU for a maximum capacity of 192 ports. It supports
the Base and one Expansion cabinet. The BCTU by itself supports all the features and capacities
equal to the BECU/BBCU without the BEXS and BBMS expansion PCBs.
If the BEXU is installed with the BCTU, 672 ports are available, along with all the features and
capacities equal to the BECU/BBCU with BEXS and BBMS expansion PCBs.
The BCTU or BEXU do not have a built-in modem. The AMDS must be installed on the BCTU if
remote administration is required over telephone lines.
CAUTION!

• Do not remove the plastic insulation shield from the back of the BEXU PCB. If the
shield comes off, do not allow the back of the PCB to contact metal.
• The BCTU and BEXU PCBs are shipped from the factory with the battery jumper in
the “Off” position. Ensure it is moved to the “On” position before installing the
processor to protect customer configuration information stored in the processor RAM.
The battery will protect RAM for approximately six years. Otherwise, to conserve the
lithium battery, move the jumper to the “Off” position.
• When packaging the BCTU and BEXU PCBs, use only a nonconducting material
enclosure, such as plain cardboard. Conductive material can cause the internal battery
to discharge and erase memory in the BCTU and BEXU PCBs.
• Make sure that the power supply is Off when installing the BCTU and BECU PCB or
damage to the board could result.
• When removing the BCTU1A and BEXU1A, first detach the cable connecting the
BCTU and BEXU1A.

1. On the BCTU PCB (see Figure 4-26), set the battery jumper, “BATT” to the “On” position.
Although you can fit the jumper plug in a horizontal position, this would be incorrect. Be sure
to place the “BATT” jumper in the correct vertical and upright position (see Figure 4-27.)

This is a hardware solution and has no effect on software or administration. Remote cabinets
support all line and trunk interfaces.
Important!

Network clock signals can only be derived from digital trunk PCBs, such as the
RDTU and RPTU, that are installed in the Base Cabinet (Master) location. Do not
install these digital trunk cards into the Remote Cabinets.

RRCU1A cards are used at both the Base (Master) and Remote (Slave) Cabinet locations. The card
set consists of an RRCU1A PCB and its ROMS1A daughter board. The RRCU1A connects to the
inter-cabinet Data Cables, holds the Remote/Slave option jumpers, and has an RS-232C port for
monitoring the fiber connection. (See Figure 4-41.)
The ROMS1A daughter board holds an SC-type fiber connector, a connector for control of two
8-circuit DPFT units, and status LEDs.

Rack Mount Cabinets

The Strata CTX Rack Mount Cabinets consist of a base cabinet (CRSUB672A) and expansion
cabinets (CRSUE672A). The cabinets are made of plated sheet metal, dark gray in color.
CAUTION! Toshiba does not support mixing floor/wall-mountable cabinets with Rack

Mount cabinets in a system installation (local or remote). Mixing cabinets in
an installation causes EMC, EMI, RFI and improper grounding problems.
However, you do not have to match the remote cabinets to the local cabinets.
For example, the local cabinets can be floor/wall-mountable while the
remote ones are rack mount or vice versa.
The 19 inch-wide rack must be supplied by the dealer.

Inspection

Inspection
When the system is received, examine all packages carefully and note any visible damage. If any
damage is found, do not open the packages. Contact the delivery carrier immediately and make the
proper claims.
After unpacking (and before installing), check the system against the packing list and inspect all
equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact your supplier immediately.
Be sure to retain original packaging materials for re-use when storing or transporting system
hardware.

Site Requirements
Space
• Do not install other devices between cabinets.
• No gap should exist between the cabinets. This provides EMC by connecting 2 screws between
cabinets.
• The 3.28 ft. (1m) of space is necessary for the front and back of the rack to make installation
and repair easy. Installation and wiring are done from the front and rear of the cabinets.
• A space measuring 1.75 inches (44.5mm) must always be left above the top of the rack
mounted cabinet for the purpose of ventilation. It is also necessary to have a space between the
top/bottom cabinet and any other device (shown below).

Power Considerations

Input Power
The Rack Mount Cabinets require an input power source of 115±10VAC or 208±20VAC or
240±20VAC, 50/60 Hz, single phase, for up to five cabinets; 208VAC or 240VAC is required for
six or seven cabinets. The system requires one or two AC outlets that must be dedicated to system
use, fused, and grounded.
CAUTION! To avoid accidental power turn-off, do not use an On/Off wall switch for AC

circuits dedicated for the use of the Rack Mount Cabinets.
A reserve power source (two or four customer-supplied 12VDC batteries) can be connected to
serve as a backup in case of power failure.

Environmental Conditions
CAUTION! Equipment is for use in a Restricted Access Location.

• Operating Temperature: 0~104 degree Fahrenheit (0~40 degree Centigrade)
• Operating Humidity: 20~80% relative humidity without condensation

Location
When selecting a location for the cabinets, the location must be:
•
•
•
•

Dry and clean
Well-ventilated
Well-illuminated
Easily accessible

The location must not be:
•
•
•
•

Subject to extreme heat or cold
Subject to corrosive fumes, dust, or other airborne contaminants
Subject to excessive vibration
Next to television, radio, office automation, or high frequency equipment

Power Considerations

Reserve Power
Two or four customer-supplied 12VDC reserve batteries can be connected to the system to
maintain normal operation during a power failure (see Table 2-63 on page 2-49 and Table 2-60 on
page 2-47). The batteries are kept in a highly-charged state by the standard power supply and must
be connected when the system is operating normally. Fully charged batteries must be connected
when normal AC power is available, batteries cannot be connected after/during an actual power
failure.

Rack Mount Cabinets

Each Rack Mount Base and Expansion Cabinet houses a power supply that furnishes power to all
of the stations and some of the peripherals that interface with the cabinet (see Table 2-60, “Strata
CTX670 Electrical Characteristics” on page 2-47).

Underwriters’ Laboratory (UL) and local electrical codes require certain standards for connecting
commercial AC and reserve power to the rack mount system. Table 5-3 describes which
assemblies may be required to meet UL and local electrical code standards. See “(Optional) Install
Reserve Power” on page 5-14 for instructions on installing reserve power.

Step 5: Attach the AC Cable

Step 5: Attach the AC Cable
The Rack Mount Cabinet(s) require a single-phase, 50/60 cycles power source of 120, 208, or
240VAC, on a dedicated 20 ampere circuit breaker. 208VAC or 240VAC is required for six or
seven cabinet systems.
Toshiba recommends that a dedicated AC service panel be used. AC outlets must be dedicated to
rack mount cabinet use, fused, and grounded. Equipment unrelated to the rack mount cabinet(s)
must not be connected to the circuit or service panel dedicated to the rack mount cabinet(s).
Note It may not always be possible to power a complete rack mount cabinet system from a single

circuit breaker panel. For example, in the case where a cabinet is remotely located.
To avoid accidental turn-off, do not configure the outlet serving the rack mount cabinets with an
On/Off switch. AC outlets serving the cabinets must be close enough so that the power cord from
the cabinet power supply or power strip can reach the outlet (these power cords are nine ft.).
AC wall outlets for the rack mount cabinets must be on dedicated 20amp breakers. AC outlets
must meet National Electrical codes specifications: NEMA 5-20R for 120VAC or NEMA 6-20R
for 208VAC/240VAC.
AC power cabling requirements vary, depending on: The method of cabinet installation (i.e., rack,
floor or wall mount), AC power source voltage (120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC) and the number of
cabinets.

Step 12: (Optional) Install Reserve Power

Step 12: (Optional) Install Reserve Power
Two or four customer-supplied, 12VDC batteries (80 amp hours maximum) can be connected to
the system as a power failure backup. In the event of a power failure, the system automatically
switches over to battery power without any interruption to existing calls or other normal system
functions.
The procedure for installing reserve power varies, depending on the number of cabinets in the
system. The following text details reserve power battery installation requirements.
Important!

Batteries must be connected when normal AC power is available; they cannot be
connected during an AC power failure situation.

The length of time reserve power operates depends on the system, size and number of batteries
provided, and the system load. Typical reserve power duration estimates and battery specifications
are estimated with the following considerations (see Table 5-1):
• Batteries have full charge at start of operation.
• Two or four batteries connected per Figure 5-4.
• Batteries are 12VDC, rated at 80 amp/hours each.
• System is operating at full load traffic with LCD phones.
• Batteries used for this test are gel-cell and maintenance-free. Reserve duration will vary
depending upon battery type, age, and manufacturer. These figures should only be used as an
estimate.

Reserve Battery Cabinet Components/Cables
WARNING! Battery cables that exit the cabinet(s) are not UL listed because of
possible incorrect installations. Have a licensed electrician install these
cables.

The part names and descriptions of the reserve battery cabinet components and cables are shown in
Table 5-2.
Table 5-2

Reserve Battery Cabinet Components/Cables for Rack Mount Cabinets

Option

PBTC1A-3M

Description
A three-meter long battery cable is used to connect reserve power batteries to the system
power supply when the system has less than three cabinets. One reserve power cable is
required for each cabinet in a one or two cabinet system. The cable connects the Strata rack
cabinet power supply directly to the battery terminals (a BBDB1A is not required).
Strata CTX reserve power battery distribution box is required when connecting reserve
power batteries to three or more cabinets. The box is field installed into one of the Strata CTX
cabinet side panels.

BBDB1A

The BBDB1A provides seven BBTC2A-2.0M, battery distribution cables to connect reserve
power from the BDDB1A box to each individual cabinet power supply.
One or two BBTC1A-2.0M must be ordered separately when using the BBDB1A battery
distribution box.

BBTC1A-2.0M

Important!

A two-meter battery cable used to connect reserve power batteries to the BBDB1A battery
distribution box. One reserve power cable is required in a three or four cabinet system and
two cables are required for five, six or seven cabinet systems. The cable connects Strata
CTX BBDB1A box directly to the battery terminals.

Reserve batteries can be installed in various configurations depending on backup
time (Table 5-1) and the number of cabinets (Figure 5-4). Use the guide in Figure
5-4 for installing batteries, as required.

Step 12: (Optional) Install Reserve Power

Install Reserve Power for One or Two Cabinets
1. Connect the black jumper wire (supplied with the PBTC1A-3M cable) from the positive
terminal of one 12VDC battery to the negative terminal of the second 12VDC battery (Figure
5-4).
2. Ensure that a serviceable 10-amp fuse is installed in the in-line fuse holder of the PBTC1A-3M
cable.
3. Connect the PBTC1A-3M battery cable white lead to the open positive terminal of the 12VDC
battery. Connect the black lead to the open negative terminal of the second 12VDC battery.
Important!

The cabinet(s) must be connected to the (live) AC power source, and the power
supply On/Off switch set to On prior to the final step of connecting the reserve
power batteries to the power supply via the BATT+/- receptacle. If the batteries are
connected after AC power is lost, reserve power will not function.

4. Connect the PBTC1A-3M battery cable two-prong male plug to the Base Cabinet power supply
BATT +/- receptacle.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to connect a PBTC1A-3M to the Expansion Cabinet.
6. To test reserve power operation, disconnect system AC power plugs with power supply On/Off
switches in the On position. The system should continue to operate without interruption.

3. Ensure that a serviceable 15-amp fuse is installed in the in-line fuse holder of the
BBTC1A-2.0M battery cable.
4. Connect the white lead of the BBTC1A-2.0M battery cable to the open positive terminal of the
12VDC battery. Connect the black lead to the open negative terminal of the second 12VDC
battery.
5. Connect a second BBTC1A-2.0M in parallel to the first BBTC1A-2.0M cable per Steps 2, 3
and 4.
6. Plug the two BBTC1A-2.0M battery cables into the Battery Distribution Box.
Important!

The cabinets must be connected to the (live) AC power source, and the power supply
On/Off switches set to On prior to the final step of connecting the reserve power
batteries to the power supplies via the BATT +/- receptacle. If the batteries are
connected after AC power is lost, reserve power will not function.

7. Connect the BBTC2A-2.0M cables from the Battery Distribution Box to the BATT +/receptacle of individual power supplies per Figure 5-4 (BBTC2A-2.0M cables are supplied
with a BBDB1A distribution box).
8. To test reserve power operation, disconnect the system AC power plugs with the power supply
On/Off switches in the On position. The system should continue to operate without
interruption.
Note If connecting four batteries, follow the wiring diagrams in Figure 5-4.

Step 13: Ground the System

Step 13: Ground the System
The system requires a solid earth ground for proper operation and safety. The AC power cord(s)
already contains a conductor for the “third wire ground” provided by the commercial power outlet
(see Figure 5-5, for grounding points “A” and “B”). An insulated conductor must connect the
frame ground terminal on the Base Cabinet to a cold water pipe or the building ground (point “B”).
Before connecting the system to the AC power source, measure the impedance of the building
ground reference. If the ground path connected to the system has an impedance of 1 ohm or more,
a better ground must be installed. In Figure 5-5, the grounding path between point “A” and the
single point ground “B” must be less than 0.25 ohms.
The “third wire ground” coming from the primary AC power outlet must be dedicated and must be
routed through the same conduit as the phase conductors serving the system. The conductor
connected to the frame ground (FG screw) on the system power supply must be insulated and
comply with the general rules for grounding contained in Article 250 of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70, but must not depend on the cord and plug of the system.
If the CTX670 system consists of more than one cabinet, you must install the bonding connection
plates that come attached to each expansion cabinet. Refer to Figure 5-5. Connect the mother
board ground wires and the intercabinet ground wires per Figure 5-5.
On each cabinet, wrap the cable mesh shield (part No. B50MT) around the 25-pair communication
cables that carry stations over tip and ring, per Figures 5-6 and 5-7.
WARNING! Failure to provide a proper ground may be a safety hazard to service
personnel or lead to confusing trouble symptoms. In extreme cases, system
failure may result because the system is not properly protected from lighting
or power transients.

Cabinet AC Power Considerations

Cabinet AC Power Considerations
The rack mount cabinet power supply works with either 120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC. The rack
mount only requires 120VAC (up to three cabinets if one AC cord is allowed or five cabinets if two
AC cords are allowed – see below).
If the system has more then five cabinets, 208VAC or 240AVC is required for the primary AC
power source. 208VAC or 240VAC can always be optionally used for systems with five or less
cabinets for future growth or, if the electrical code requires.
To determine AC power requirements, you need to check local electrical code requirements for
120VAC, 208VAC or 240VAC primary power. Some electrical codes stipulate that:
•
•
•
•

208VAC or 240VAC is required for telephones systems
Only one electrical cord can connect to the telephone system.
Only two electrical cords can connect to the telephone system.
No electrical cord can connect to the telephone system – must use conduit wiring installed by a
certified electrician (example: when system is floor mounted).

Rack Mount Cabinets

One dedicated, isolated, 20 amp. AC circuit breaker with dual outlets is required.
N/A= If the system contains more than three cabinets and if the local code allows only one AC cord, the system requires a
BCCB120 conduit box wired by a certified electrician when using 120VAC as primary power. Otherwise, 208VAC or 240VAC
should be used as the primary power source (see cabinet power options listed below). If more than five cabinets are installed,
208VAC or 240VAC is required.

7 BACL240A

The plugs and wall receptacles required by the local electrical code might differ for
208VAC and 240VAC. Thus in some areas of the U.S., the plug used on the Toshiba
240VAC power strip and 240VAC power supply cord (NEMA code 6-20P) can not
be used for 208VAC installations. In this case, when using 208VAC, the AC plugs on
the BPSB240 power strip cord that connects directly to the 208VAC wall outlet must
be changed by a certified electrician per the local electrical code.

The front panel of BRPSU672A provides a Power Factor LED and Reset button. If the cabinet
power factor is exceeded by overload of PCBs, the PF LED will turn on.
³ If the PF LED indicator turns on, press the PF reset button with a pointed tool or pencil. If the
PF LED turns off and does not turn on again it may have been turned on by a current surge
while installing a PCB while the power supply was turned-on.
³ When a PF alarm is indicated, check that the cabinet power factor is not exceeded using the
“Worksheet 7 – System Power Factor Check” on page 2-42. If the Power factor has been
exceeded relocate any PCBs that are causing the PF to be exceeded.

Check the -24 Volt Circuit Breakers
The BRPSU672A provides four -24v circuit breakers as shown in figure above. If a low resistance
between –24 volts and ground exists the circuit breaker will trip. Usually the front panel DC green
LED indicator will turn off but not always. Also if AC power is recycled the DC LED indicator
may turn back on – even if the –24 volt circuit breaker is tripped.
Circuit Breaker Location and Slot Assignments
• The circuit breaker 24V1~24V4, located directly below DC-out cable, protects the cabinet slots
as shown in the Circuit Breaker assignment table.
Reset Circuit Breaker
1. A defective PCB or an external short on the MDF may cause the circuit breaker to trip.
2. If you suspect that a –24 volt circuit breaker has tripped, try to reset it by:
• Turn the power supply DC power switch off and unplug the power supply AC power cord
from the AC outlet – the inside of the power supply has exposed voltages.
• Gently press in each circuit breaker and listen for or try to feel it click. If the breaker was
tripped, you will hear or feel it click back to the set position.
• If the circuit breaker resets, pull the PCBs and check for MDF shorts associated with the
slots assigned to the tripped circuit breaker. Remove any defective PCBs and MDF shorts.
• Restore power and verify the system is working normally.
3. Replace the power supply if the circuit breaker continues to trip and a defective PCB or short
cannot be found.

BSTU/RSTU – Standard Telephone Interface Unit

BSTU/RSTU – Standard Telephone Interface Unit
Circuits per PCB: eight standard telephone circuits
Interfaces with:

standard telephones
voice mail ports
off-premises stations
other similar devices
alternate BGM sources
auto attendant digital announcer
message waiting lamp

Older Version(s): RSTU3, RSTU2, RSTU1

The BSTU and RSTU are basically the same and are interchangeable. Ringer Capacity for the
BSTU is three telephones or devices per circuit. RSTU1, 2 and 3 allow one telephone or device per
circuit.
Notes

• For the system to recognize the DTMF tones generated by a standard telephone (or any other
device connected to a standard telephone port), a DTMF receiver unit must be equipped on the
processor PCB (ARCS subassembly must be installed on ACTU processor of the CTX100.
DTMF receivers are standard on CTX670 processors).
• BSTU and RSTU3 provides Message Waiting (MW). RSTU1 and RSTU2 do not provide MW.

R48S -48 Volt Supply Subassembly Installation
R48S is required for line loop resistance greater than 600 ohms. The maximum loop resistance
allowed with 48S = 1200 ohms; without 48S = 600 ohms.
³

Mate the R48S connectors P6 and P7 (Figures 6-6~6-9) with the R48S connectors P6 and P7
on the BSTU or RSTU.

Note BSTU and RSTU connectors P6 and P7 are positioned so that the R48S only fits in the

proper position.

BWDKU1A – Digital Telephone Interface Unit
Circuits per PCB: 16 digital telephone circuits
Interfaces with:

all Toshiba digital telephones (corded and cordless, DDCB, DSS, ADM, BPCI)

CAUTION! Existing SpectraLink interface units are not compatible with the

BWDKU1A. A firmware update will be available from Spectralink in the
near future.
When installing Add-on modules, be sure to check Table 10-1 on page 10-2
to verify maximum line lengths. BWDKU supports 1 pair wiring per Table
10-2 on page 10-6.
Older Version(s): none

The BWDKU1A is very similar to the BDKU + BDKS, but it supports 16 DKT circuits with a
single PCB. It is also compatible with Strata DK but only supports eight circuits.

BWDKU1A Installation
1. See Table 6-8 and Figure 6-12, then make any jumper adjustments needed for DKT or slot
requirements. The BWDKU1A can be installed in any slot; however, if it is installed in
expansion slots S_07~S_10, you must move the jumper plug to the “8 CCT” position.
Important!

Do not detach the SWDR1A subassembly. The BWDKU1A will not work properly
without it.

2. Insert the BWDKU1A (component side facing right) into the appropriate slot, and apply firm,
even pressure to ensure proper mating of connectors.

RCIU1, RCIU2, RCIS – Caller ID Interface
Circuits per PCB: four Caller ID circuits
Interfaces with:

loop or ground start lines w/Caller ID (requires RCOU or RGLU2)

Older Version(s): none

The RCIU1, RCIU2 PCB provides the Caller ID feature, also known as Calling Number Delivery
(CND).
Caller ID can be provided on analog loop start lines (PCOU or RCOU PCBs) and analog ground
start lines (RGLU2 PCB) only. It is not available on any other type of analog lines (RDDU/DID
and/or REMU, PEMU Tie) or any type of digital lines (RDTU- T1, including ground start, loop
start, DID and Tie lines).
³

An RCIU1/RCIS or RCIU2/RCIS circuit must be available in addition to each RCOU, RGLU,
etc., line that is to receive Caller ID. When ordered from the factory, the RCIU1, RCIU2 PCB
comes equipped with four Caller ID circuits.

RCIS PCB
An RCIS piggy-back PCB can be installed onto the RCIU to provide an additional four Caller ID
circuits. Hence, an installed RCIU/RCIS can provide a maximum of eight Caller ID circuits per
cabinet slot.
To provide up to eight circuits, always install RCIS onto RCIU1 or RCIU2 instead of installing
two RCIU PCBs (Program 100 code 009 always assigns each RCIU slot with eight software
Caller ID circuits).
Each RCIU/RCIS Caller ID circuit has a two-wire tip/ring interface which must be bridge-wired
across its corresponding ground or loop start CO line tip/ring on the MDF (see Figure 10-11 on
page 10-20). Each RCIU/RCIS modular jack provides interface for two Caller ID circuits.
RCIU1 or RCIU2 Installation
³

Install the RCIU1/RCIU2 PCBs in any universal cabinet slot of the Strata CTX670 (except
slot 11 or slot 12 if the RSIU is installed in slot 11).

Note It is not necessary to install the RCIU1, RCIU2, RCIU1/RCIS, or RCIU2/RCIS PCBs in the

same cabinet as their associated CO lines or in slots adjacent to the lines.

RCIU1/RCIS or RCIU2/RCIS Installation
1. Install the RCIS onto the RCIU1 or RCIU2 as required (see Figures 6-14 and 6-15).
2. Install the RCIU1/RCIS or RCIU2/RCIS into the appropriate cabinet slot. The circuit modular
jack numbering and the tip/ring cross connect wiring of BECU to RCOU, PCOU, or RGLU is
shown in Figure 10-8 on page 10-13.
Note It is not necessary to install the RCIU1, RCIU2, RCIU1/RCIS, or RCIU2/RCIS PCBs in the

Older Version(s): RCOU1 (does not have Mu Law/A Law jumper plug)
PCOU2 (does not have ABR circuitry, uses RCTU, K4RCU ABR circuits)
PCOU1 (has ABR circuitry, identical and interchangeable w/PCOU2)

The RCOU3A and RCOU provide ring detection, dial outpulsing, and hold circuitry. Each RCOU
line can be programmed for DTMF or dial pulse signaling and has surge absorbers for secondary
protection.
The RCOU3A and RCOU PCBs are shown in Figures 6-18 and 6-19 and described in Table 6-12.

RCOS Installation (Internal Option)
An RCOS3A PCB can be installed on the RCOU3A or RCOU1A for four more loop start lines
(for a total of eight lines–the RCOS circuits provide the same options as the RCOU). Each RCOS
circuit has surge absorbers for secondary protection.
Excessive loudness which is caused by close proximity to a CO or PBX telephone can be fixed
through the RCOS and RCOU decibel (dB) Pad switches. RCOS dB switches SW501, SW601,
SW701, and SW801 and RCOU dB switches SW101, SW201, SW301, and SW401 provide a -3
dB signal level drop between the PBX and CO when set to position 3. Switches are factory-set at
the 0 (0 dB signal level drop) position.
The RCOS3A and RCOS1A PCBs are shown in Figures 6-16 and 6-17 and described in Tables
6-10 and 6-11.
³ To install an RCOS3A PCB
1. If the Strata CTX system is within one mile of the PBX or CO, set the RCOS dB Pad switches
SW501, SW601, SW701, and SW801 to the 3 (-3 dB signal level drop) position. Set the RCOU
dB Pad switches to position 3 also.
Note RCOU male connectors P11, P12, P13, and P14 are positioned to allow installation of the

RCOS only in the proper position.
2. Mate the RCOS3A female connectors J11, J12, J13, and J14 (Figure 6-16) to the RCOU3A or
RCOU1A male connectors P11, P12, P13, and P14 (Figures 6-18 or 6-19).
3. (RCOS3A only) For Mexico, the U.K, or Asia, insert the short jumper plug on the A Law side.
For the U.S. and Canada, no plug is required. (No plug is the Mu Law assignment).
4. Apply firm, even pressure to the RCOS to ensure proper mating of connectors.
Note The RCOS1A cannot be installed on the RCOU3A.

RCOU Installation
Note The decibel (dB) Pad switches SW101, SW201, SW301, and SW401 control excessive

loudness resulting from close proximity to a Central Office or PBX telephone office by
providing a -3 dB signal level drop to, or from, the PBX or CO when set to the 3 position.
Switches are factory-set to the 0 (0 dB signal level drop) position.
³ To install an RCOU3A or RCOU1A PCB
1. If the Strata CTX system is within one mile of the PBX or Central Office, set the RCOU dB
Pad switches SW101, SW201, SW301, and SW401 to the 3 (-3 dB signal level drop) position.
2. (RCOU3A only) For Mexico, the U.K, or Asia, insert the short jumper plug on the A Law side.
For the U.S. and Canada, no plug is required. (No plug is the Mu Law assignment).
3. Insert the RCOU (component side facing right) into the appropriate slot and apply firm, even
pressure to ensure proper mating of connectors. PCOU2 can be installed in place of RCOU, see
the appropriate Configuration chapter.
4. After installing the RCOU, gently pull the PCB outward. If the connectors are properly mated,

RDDU – Direct Inward Dialing Line Interface Unit

RDDU – Direct Inward Dialing Line Interface Unit
Circuits per PCB: four DID lines
Interfaces with:

DID (one or two-way) lines

Older Version(s): none

The RDDU provides four Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lines, each of which can have a single
office code along with a block of extensions.
Each extension can be assigned to ring a station [DN] that appears on one or multiple stations,
Distributed Hunt or ACD Group, or an external telephone number selected in system
programming. This enables calls over the same line to be routed to different stations or groups of
stations. An extension can also be assigned to ring the maintenance modem. Each RDDU can be
set for either wink start or immediate. All RDDU lines support DNIS and ANI features.
RDDU controls, indicators, and interface connectors are shown in Figure 6-21 and described in
Table 6-14.

RDDU Installation
Note Switches are factory-set to the 0 (0 dB signal level drop) position.

1. If the KSU is located within one mile of the PBX or CO, set dB Pad switches SW101 through
SW401 to the 3 (-3 dB signal level drop) position to control excessive loudness resulting from
close proximity to the PBX or CO.
2. Sensitivity jumpers P101~P401 are used mostly for dial pulse operation, to adjust for dial
pulsing at different loop lengths. If close to the central office, the sensitivity should be set for
low (L); as the loop length increases, it should be set to medium (M), then high (H).
3. Insert the RDDU (component side facing right) into the appropriate slot and apply firm, even
pressure to ensure proper mating of connectors.
4. After installing the RDDU, gently pull the PCB outward. If the connectors are properly mated,
a slight resistance is felt.

Older Version(s): none

An optional Standard Telephone Interface Subunit (RSTS) can be attached to the RDSU to provide
two more standard telephone ports (circuits 3 and 4).
RDSU and RSTS controls and interface connectors are shown in Figure 6-22. RDSU interface
connectors are described in Table 6-15.
Note For the system to recognize the DTMF tones generated by incoming DID lines a DTMF

Receiver Unit (RRCS -4, -8, or -12) must be installed on the processor PCB.

Installing R48S Ring Generator (Internal Option)
An optional R48S unit can be connected to the RDSU or RSTU to change the standard telephone
loop voltage from -24VDC to -48VDC, extending the standard telephone circuit loop length
(including the resistance of the phone) from 600 ohms to 1200 ohms. The features provided by the
R48S apply to the RSTS circuits as well as the basic RDSU standard telephone circuits.
³ To install the R48S on the RDSU
³

Mate the R48S connectors R6 and R7 with the RDSU connectors R6 and R7. RDSU
connectors P6 and P7 are positioned to allow installation of the R48S only in the proper
position (Figure 6-5).

Installing RSTS (Internal Option)
³

Mate the RSTS connectors P2~P5 with the RDSU connectors P2~P5. RDSU connectors
P2~P5 are positioned to allow installation of the RSTS only in the proper position (Figure
6-22).

RDSU Installation
1. Ensure the SSTU subunit and optional subassemblies are securely attached to the RDSU
(Figure 6-22).
WARNING! The protective shield on the back of the RDSU is designed to protect the
installer from potentially hazardous ring voltage. Do not remove this shield.

2. Insert the RDSU into the appropriate slot, and apply firm, even pressure to ensure proper
mating of connectors.

RMCU/RCMS – E911 CAMA Trunk Direct Interface

RMCU/RCMS – E911 CAMA Trunk Direct Interface
Circuits per PCB: four circuits
Interfaces with:

enhanced 911 locator services

Older Version(s): none

The E911 CAMA Trunk Direct Interface card (RMCU) enables cost-effective connection to the
Enhanced 911 locator services without third-party equipment. Figure 6-29 shows the RMCU. The
RMCU supports two subassemblies (RCMS) that provide a total of up to four ports as shown in
Figure 6-27. Only one RMCU PCB can be installed in a Strata CTX670 system.
The RMCU has no CAMA circuits. It requires one RCMS subassembly to provide one or two
CAMA trunks and two RCMS PCBs to provide up to four CAMA trunks.
Location of the RCMS LEDs are shown in Figure 6-30 and the functions of the RCMS LEDs are
given in Table 6-19.

RCMS Subassemblies Installation
1. Attach one or two subassemblies (RCMS) to the connectors on the RMCU as shown in Figure
6-27. If only one RCMS is to be installed, install it in the bottom position.
2. Apply firm even pressure to ensure that the connectors are properly seated in the RMCU
connector blocks. If they are seated properly, a light resistance is felt when you pull the units
away from the RMCU.

1. Only RDSU ckts. 1~4 provide Off-premises Station (OPS) ability. RDSU must use OL13A or OL13B if providing –24 volt loop
voltage. If equipped with the –48 volt loop option PCB (R48S), OL13A, OL13B, or OL13C may be used for OPS connection.
2. Loop current requirements for Strata loop and ground start lines: 20 milliamperes (mA) min./120 mA max.
3. When ordering DS-1/T1 circuits, six items must be specified:
• The number of channels per T1 circuit, fractional increments are normally 8, 12, or 16 channels, full service is 24 channels.
Unused channels must be bit-stuffed.
• CO line types assigned to each channel: Loop Start, Ground Start, Tie (Wink or Immediate Start), DID (Wink or Immediate).
• Frame Format Type: Super Frame (SF) or Extended Super Frame (ESF). The T1 provider normally specifies the Frame Format
to be used, either is adequate for CO digital voice lines. ESF provides a higher level of performance monitoring, but requires
trained personnel and the ESF CSU normally costs more than an SF only CSU.
• Line Code Type: Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) or Bipolar 8 Zero Substitution (B8ZS). The T1 provider normally specified the
Line Code to be used, either is adequate for T1 CO digital voice lines.
• The customer may have to provide the Channel Service Unit (CSU) to interface the CTX T1 circuit to the Telco T1 circuit. (CSUs
are a Telco requirement.)
• RDTU Network Channel Interface Codes: 04DU9-BN, 04DU9-DNZZ, 04DU9-1SN, 04DU9-1KN, 04DU9-1ZN.
4. For information on how to order ISDN PRI/BRI circuits, you should refer to the Toshiba ISDN Training CBT. ISDN circuits may
require a customer-provided CSU for PRI and/or Terminal Adapter or Network Terminal units for BRI. In U.S. CSU/TAs must be
UL-listed in the U.S. In Canada, they must be CSA certified.
5. RPTU2 is required for QSIG private networking.

This chapter covers information on the ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and Basic Rate
Interfaces (BRI).

PRI Overview
For PRI services, the Strata CTX uses a BPTU or RPTU PCB to connect to a Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) PRI line using a UL listed (or CSA certified in Canada) Channel
Service Unit (CSU) in most locations in the U.S. Each BPTU or RPTU provides 23B + D channels.
The B-channels support CO speech and data connections on the PSTN side only.
The Strata CTX also uses a BPTU or RPTU2 PCB to connect Strata Net QSIG network nodes
using DS-1. A DS-1 may be obtained in several ways, most commonly, leasing it from a carrier.

BRI S/T Overview
BRI S/T is available with the RBSU PCB. The RBSU provides two BRI S/T circuits to connect to
the PSTN BRI line using an external UL listed NT1; or, on the station-side, connect to:
• S-type ISDN telephones and Terminal Equipment (TE-1-S)
• S-type Terminal Adapters (TA-S) with non-ISDN devices
Each TE-1-S and TA1-S device can support voice and/or RS-232 switched-circuit data as shown in
Figure 7-1. The station-side BRI S/T circuits are point-to-multipoint.
A subassembly (RBSS) can be attached to the RBSU for two additional BRIs for S-type stationside connections only. The RBSU PCB and the RBSS subassembly are shown in Figures 7-11 and
Figure 7-12 on page 7-17. The combination of RBSU and RBSS uses only one slot to provide up
to four BRI S/T circuits.
Note Each installed RBSU or RBSS circuit provides a 2B + D connection and uses a system

capacity of two station ports and two CO lines regardless of the circuit application, even if
the circuit is not actually connected.

BRI U Overview
For BRI U services, the RBUU provides two BRI U circuits that connect directly to PSTN BRI
lines; or, on the station side, connect to:
• U-type ISDN telephones and Terminal Equipment (TE-1-U)
• U-type Terminal Adapters (TA-U) with non-ISDN devices
Each TE-1-U and TA-U device can support voice and/or RS-232 switched-circuit data
depending on the device (see Figure 7-1). The station-side BRI U circuits are point-to-point.

ISDN Interfaces
BRI U Overview

A subassembly (RBUS) can be attached to the RBUU for two additional BRIs for PSTN and/or
U-type station connections. The RBUU PCB and the RBUS subassemblies are shown in
Figures 7-23 and Figure 7-24 on page 7-28. The combination of RBUU and RBUS uses only
one slot to provide up to four U-type BRI circuits.
Notes

Each installed RBUU or RBUS circuit provides a 2B + D connection and uses a system
capacity of two station ports and two CO lines regardless of the circuit application, even if the
circuit is not actually connected.

BPTU/RPTU Overview

BPTU/RPTU Overview

The BPTU or RPTU is a DS-1 divided into 24 TDM channels using standard T1 electrical signal
format. The BPTU or RPTU’s D-channel is typically the 24th channel and can control the
signaling of 23 of its own B-channels and 24 B-channels of another designated BPTU or RPTU.
Each BPTU or RPTU can also use its own D-channel for control.

ISDN Interfaces

Both the BPTU and RPTU provides 24 channels for ISDN PRI service. The BPTU is fully
compatible with RDTU2 and will replace the RPTU. Network connection using BPTU or RPTU
PRI interface requires installation of a customer-provided CSU in most locations of the U.S. Refer
to “CSU Requirements” on page 7-3 for CSU installation.

The BPTU or RPTU’s in-service bit rate is 1.544 mbps (± 4.6 ppm), but during a maintenance
session, the rate may vary ± 32 ppm. The BPTU or RPTU provides Binary 8-Zero Substitution
(B8ZS) and ESF with Framing Pattern Sequence (FPS) and Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC)
error checking in the framing bits.
Extracting the Stratum-1 clock from the ISDN PRI, BRI, or T1 provider is the most common
method used to synchronize the BPTU or RPTU PCB and the Strata CTX time switch to the public
telephone network. One BPTU, RPTU, RBSU, RBUU, or RDTU T1 must extract the clock from
the ISDN or T1 provider. The selected unit is designated as the “Primary” timing source in
Program 105. In remote cabinet applications, the Primary clock source PCB must be installed in
the Base Cabinet (main location). For more information, refer to “Timing and Synchronization” on
page 7-35.
A dealer-supplied CSU must be installed between the ISDN PRI network line and the BPTU or
RPTU PCB as shown in Figure 7-1. Some telephone companies supply the CSU and call it the
Network Interface Unit (NIU).

CSU Requirements
In the U.S., the CSU must be UL listed and comply with Part 68 of the FCC rules. It must also
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. In Canada,
the CSU must be CSA certified.
The CSU is transparent to data, clock, and framing. It acts as a repeater, not a controller, for
timing. The CSU also acts as a signal regenerator and must be able to perform loop-back tests and
maintenance to both the network and Strata CTX BPTU or RPTU. The CSU is the same type as
used for T1 circuits although it performs the function as NT1 for PRI ISDN in the ISDN reference
model as shown in Figure 7-1.

Slot Assignments
Up to eleven BPTU or RPTU PCBs can be installed in a Strata CTX system providing up to 264
PRI lines (B-channels). If BPTU or RPTU (PRI) and RDTU (T1) PCBs are installed, the maximum
combined PCBs cannot exceed eleven. The PCBs must be placed in designated slots in each of the
cabinets. Refer to Chapter 2 – Strata CTX Configuration, “ISDN PRI Digital Line PCBs” on page
2-40, for the guidelines regarding BPTU or RPTU PCB slot assignments.

³ To install an BPTU PCB
1. Look for IC19 on the BPTU PCB. If it is on the PCB, move the SW10 jumper to “ROM.” If
IC19 is not on this PCB, leave the jumper on the “CPU” setting (see Table 7-1).
2. If you want to run the PCB Self Test, refer to BPTU Self Test.
3. Turn the Strata CTX system power Off.
4. Insert the BPTU (component side facing right) into the appropriate slot and apply firm, even
pressure to ensure proper seating of connectors.
Refer to Chapter 2 – Strata CTX Configuration:
• “Worksheet 5: Strata CTX100 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-26
...or “Worksheet 6: Strata CTX670 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-37
• “ISDN PRI Digital Line PCBs” on page 2-40 (mentioned above in slot assignments)
5. After installing the BPTU, gently pull the PCB outward. If the connectors are properly seated, a
slight resistance is felt.
6. For cabling information and requirements, refer to “BPTU and RPTU Cabling” on page 7-11.

BPTU and RPTU Cabling

Important!

ISDN Interfaces

To meet Part 15 of FCC Rules, ISDN PRI equipment must be connected using CAT5, Shielded
Twisted-Pair (STP) cabling between the CSU and the BPTU or RPTU. CAT5 STP protects against
cross talk, Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), and/or Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). STP
protects ISDN signal data while being transmitted through the cable and keeps the cable itself from
emitting EMI and RFI.
To avoid ground loops, connect only the BPTU or RPTU end of the shielded cable to
ground. The Strata CTX grounds the CAT5 cable shield between the Strata CTX and
CSU at the BPTU or RPTU RJ45 jack. You do not have to connect the CSU ground
drain. The CSU ground should not be connected to the cable shield.

Shield continuity must be maintained from the BPTU or RPTU to the CSU, particularly if using
extension connecting cables. Keep the cable as short as possible between the CSU and the PRI
Demarcation jack, because there is no shield between the CSU and the Demarcation jack.
Toshiba provides a cable kit (Part No. RPRI-CBL-KIT), that contains all that you need to connect
the network ISDN jack to the network side of most CSUs and the equipment side of the CSU to the
BPTU or RPTU PCB. Depending on the manufacturer, the CSU may use DB15 or modular jacks.
If the CSU is equipped with the modular jacks, the DB15/modular adapters are not used. If this is
the case, make sure the CSU modular jacks are not shielded jacks.
A detailed pinout diagram for the RJ45 network jack (USOC RJ48C or RJ48X) and the modular
cords/adaptors are shown in Figure 7-6 on page 7-12 and Figure 7-8 on page 7-13.
Cable Length
The distance between the BPTU/RPTU and CSU or the BPTU/RPTU and other Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE) may vary (0~655 ft.). The BPTU or RPTU must be equalized and its impedance
must match the impedance of the connecting cable.
³ BPTU: Set the SW settings for the proper cable length (see Table 7-3 on page 7-6 and Figure
7-3 on page 7-5).
³ RPTU: Set the SW settings for the proper cable length (see Table 7-7 on page 7-10 and Figure
7-5 on page 7-9).

RBSU/RBSS switches, jumpers, and connectors are shown in Figures 7-11 and 7-12 on page 7-17
and described in Table 7-8.
LEDs on the RBSU/RBSS show a continuous status of BRI operation. Refer to Table 7-8 on page
7-17 for a list of each LED’s status.

Overview
The RBSU and RBSS PCBs provide the Basic Rate Interface (BRI) circuits. The RBSU is the
main plug-in PCB that plugs into the Strata CTX cabinet slots.
The RBSS is an optional PCB that plugs onto the RBSU. Each PCB provides two ISDN BRI
circuits. Each BRI circuit provides 2 B-channels + 1D channel for voice/data/video applications.
An REBU PCB is a piggy-back PCB that plugs onto the RBSU and provides basic functions for
RBSU/RBSS circuits so it must always be installed on the RBSU.
The RBSU circuits are four-wire S/T type circuits and connect to the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN) BRI lines using an Network Terminator unit (NT1); or, on the station side, they
can connect to ISDN Terminal Equipment (TE) or Terminal Adapters (TA) as shown in Figure 7-9.
TE devices include any ISDN device (telephone, fax, computer) that connects directly to S/T
ISDN BRI circuits. TA devices match the protocol of non-ISDN devices (telephone, fax,
computer) to the protocol of S/T ISDN BRI circuits.
The TBSU and RBSU circuits can be configured as:
• BRI – TE circuits which connect to Telephone Network BRI lines using a NT1.
• BRI – NT circuits which connect to ISDN TEs or TAs. These devices must be S-type station
devices.
Important!

The Strata CTX BRI circuits allocate line numbers and station ports differently.
Each BRI circuit consumes two line numbers and two station port when configured
as line-side or station side.

RBSU Connection Options
The RBSU connection options (BRI line or ISDN TE-1/TA devices) are selected in customer
database programming and option switches located on the RBSU.
The RBSU circuits that connect to the ISDN network side requires a dealer-supplied NTI interface
box to convert the two-wire, U-interface BRI line from the telephone network to the four-wire,
T-interface of the RBSU circuit. The NT1 must be UL listed (U.S.) or CSA certified (Canada). The
network BRI line connection is a point-to-point connection, which means that the network BRI
line can only be connected to one RBSU or TBSU circuit via the NT1 (T-reference point).
RBSS circuits connect directly to S-type TE-1 or TA ISDN devices only. They do not support BRITE telephone network BRI line connections.

When multiple TE-1 and TA devices are installed on a single RBSU/RBSS BRI circuit, the devices
must share, or contend for, that circuit’s two B-channels. That is to say, a maximum of two
simultaneous voice and/or data calls are allowed between both devices connected to the same BRI
circuit. The contention rule for the two BRI B-channels is first come, first serve.

The RBSU, and/or RBSS circuits that connect to the Strata CTX station side, (BRI-NT, Sreference point) allows direct connection of multiple ISDN (TE-1 or TA) devices. The S point of
the RBSU/RBSS supports the Toshiba Strata CTX passive bus, also known as point-to-multipoint
connection. The terminal-side (S-point) of the RBSU/RBSS BRI circuit can have parallel
connections of up to two TE-1s or TAs maximum.

Capacity and Cabinet Slot Information
The RBSU/RBSS can be installed in any slot except in a slot that has been left vacant to provide
capacity for RDTU, BPTU or RPTU2 or RPTU as shown in Table 2-54 on page 2-39 and Table
2-55 on page 2-40. Each RBSU and/or RBSS contains two circuits and each circuit reduces the
system capacity by two station ports and two CO lines (one port/line per B-channel). Therefore, if
the RBSU PCB is installed, the station port and CO line count will increment by four ports and
four lines at the RBSU cabinet slot.
If the RBSU/RBSS is installed, the station port and CO line count will increment by eight station
ports and eight lines at the RBSU/RBSS cabinet slot. RBSU and RBSS PCBs can be installed in
any combination so long as the number of RBSU PCBs is the same or greater than the number of
RBSS PCBs. See “ISDN BRI Digital Station PCBs” on page 2-41 and “Worksheet 3: CO Line” on
page 2-25 for the maximum BRI circuits allowed.

PS-1 Backup Power Option
The RBSU provides an optional backup power supply, R40S, that will supply backup power to TE
devices in the event of an AC power loss. This power backup option only applies to RBSU or
RBSS circuits that are configured in the NT mode. See Figure 7-13 to install the R40S.
Also the Strata CTX system must have battery backup to allow the R40S power backup function to
operate. The R40S power supply is an ISDN, PS-1 type power unit which means it supplies power
to TE devices on the RBSU/RBSS transmit and receive wire pairs as shown in Figure 7-10. This
power arrangement is also known as phantom power.
Each of the four circuits on RBSU/RBSS can be connected to share the R40S using option
switches on the PCBs (see Table 7-8). Before using the R40S as a backup power source, make sure
the TE devices do not require more power than the R40S can supply and the TE is compatible with
the ISDN PS-1 power arrangement.

RBSU/RBSS Premise Wiring Guidelines
TB1 and TB2 are the connecting points that interface a pair of dry contacts that can be used for
power failure switching purposes (see Figure 7-14 for the locations). When the Strata CTX system
has power (from AC source or batteries) there is a short circuit across TB1 and TB2. In the event
of no power to the Strata CTX, there is an open circuit across TB1 and TB2. The specifications for
TB1 and TB2 contacts are:

ISDN Interfaces

Power Failure Terminal Screws

• Maximum switchable voltage: 30VDC
• Maximum switchable current: 80mA
• Short circuit resistance: Approximately 15 ohms
Grounding Terminal Screws
TB3 is a screw terminal that can be used to connect a ground wire to the RBSU PCB (see Figure
7-14 for the location). This ground enables the RBSU/RBSS to meet Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC) requirements. The RBSU complies with EMC requirements without
grounding TB3 on the RBSU, so it is not necessary to connect a ground wire to TB3.
BRI Wire Type Recommendations
CAT3 or CAT5 wire is recommended for ISDN BRI customer-premises wiring. While the ISDN
BRI signal works for some distance over almost any wire that is suitable for analog voice service,
better wire enables longer runs. CAT5 provides better 100-ohm impedance matching (at little extra
cost) between the RBSU/RBSS circuit and the station Terminal Equipment (TE-1).
Normally the CAT3 or CAT5 wiring does not have to be shielded when used for ISDN BRI
premises wiring. However, the RJ45 jacks on the RBSU/RBSS BRI circuits are shielded and
provide a ground shield in the event that shielded modular plugs and cable are used.
Note If using shielded cable and plugs, cable runs should only be grounded at the Strata CTX

RBSU/RBSS, RJ45 jacks. To prevent ground loops, do not ground both ends of shielded
cable runs.
RBSU/RBSS BRI Cable Jacks and Connectors
In the U.S., the standard connector for ISDN equipment is the eight-pin RJ jack. Patch cables have
eight-pole plugs at both ends. The same pinout applies to both ends of an ISDN cable, which is the
practice of the data world. This means that a flat untwisted cable with an RJ modular plug at both
ends will have the locking tab of the plug on one end, “up;” and on the other end, “down,” as
shown in Figure 7-15.
Note This is the opposite of telephony “silver satin” cables which have locking tabs on both ends

facing the same direction. Telephony cables cause the pins at either end to crossover while
data cables provide a straight through pin-to-pin connection between modular jacks.

The standard pinouts for ISDN jacks is the TIA-568A or TIA-568B jack as listed in Table 7-11.
The variants A and B to the TIA specification are electrically the same, only the wire colors are
different. However, you should only use one type TIA jack in a customer installation because
mixing the two may cause certain wire pairs to be swapped which would result in line faults.

Strata CTX BRI Circuit EMC Ferrite Core Requirement

RBSU or RBUU

ISDN Interfaces

To ensure that the Strata CTX BRI circuit meets the EMC requirements, it is necessary to run all
wire connecting ISDN BRI circuits (TE, LT mode and NT mode) through a Ferrite core. Use
Toshiba part number, FER-CORE-ISDN, to order the ferrite core. It is not shipped automatically
with the BRI circuit cards, it must be grounded separately. Figure 7-16 shows how to dress the
wiring through the Ferrite core.

Figure 7-16 BRI Circuit Ferrite Core Installation

Connecting RBSU to Network Side (TE-Mode)
The RBSU only, not the RBSS, circuits can be connected to the network side of a BRI line. The
RBSU circuits must be configured in the TE-mode (refer to option switches in Table 7-8 on page
7-17).
In the U.S., the BRI line from the ISDN service provider is a two-wire U-type BRI line. This line
connects to the RBSU TE circuit via a customer-provided NT1 as shown in Figure 7-17. The NT1
is necessary to convert the network BRI, two-wire, U interface to the RBSU BRI, four-wire, T
interface. The NT1 must be UL listed (U.S.) or CSA certified (Canada).
The NT1 is powered by local AC power via an AC adapter supplied with the NT1. The connection
between the NT1 and the RBSU TE circuit is a point-to-point connection, so the NT1 can connect
to only one RBSU BRI TE circuit.
A 100-ohm Terminating Resistor (TR) is required on each end of the point-to-point connection.
The TR must be switched into the RBSU TE circuit (refer to option switches in Table 7-11 on page
7-22 and Table 7-8 on page 7-17) and into the NT1 device.

Most NT1 devices have TR option switches; if the NT1 does not have TRs, two 100-ohm TRs
must be wired into the NT1 modular jack - one 100-ohm resistor across each pair (Tx and Rx).
Refer to the NT1 manufacturers documentation for the maximum loop length between the NT1
and the network jack. The maximum loop length between the NT1 and the RBSU circuit is 1650
feet.

Connecting RBSU/RBSS Station Devices (NT-Mode)
S-type TAs and TE-1s can be connected to the station side of TBSU, RBSU, and RBSS circuits.
TA and TE devices must be powered by local AC power using AC adapter supplied with the TA or
TE device. The RBSU/RBSS circuits must be configured in the NT mode when connected to TA
and TE devices (refer to option switches in Table 7-8 on page 7-17 and Table 7-11 on page 7-22).
The TA enables you to connect non-ISDN voice and data devices to ISDN BRI circuits. The TA
matches the protocol of existing interfaces (R-reference point) to the ISDN S/T protocol (see
Figure 7-1 on page 7-2). TA devices include asynchronous circuit-switched adapters that convert
RS-232 sync data (like data from a PC COM port) to B-channel 64 kbps sync.
TAs also enable you to connect standard telephones and non-ISDN fax machines to receive and
make calls over ISDN circuits. TEs include any user device (telephone, fax, PC video conference
board) that is designed to plug directly into the ISDN (S/T) interface without the use of a TA.
There are two types of ISDN TA and TE-1 devices: the U-type and the S/T type. Most
manufacturers of ISDN station devices make both types. On the RBSU/RBSS station side,
BRI-NT circuits only function with S/T type TA and TE-1 devices. You cannot connect U-type
TE-1 or TA devices to the RBSU/RBSS BRI-NT circuits.
Also, connecting an NT1 to the RBSU/RBSS BRI-NT circuit to convert from S/T to U interface is
not supported to enable the use of U-type TE-1 or TA device on the station side of the RBSU/
RBSS. U-type TE-1 and TA device interface is provided in the Strata CTX by the RBUU/RBUS
BRI circuit only.
The RBSU/RBSS BRI-NT circuit supports the National ISDN 2 (NI2) S-Interface “passive bus.”
It is called a passive bus, because it contains no logical functions. The RBSU/RBSS BRI-NT
interface supports a point-to-multipoint connection on two twisted pairs. Up to two TE-1 and/or
TA devices can be connected to one RBSU/RBSS, BRI-NT circuit. Using standardized wiring and

As a parallel bus, the RBSU/RBSS BRI-NT passive bus will accept TE-1 and TA devices scattered
on the bus; however, the locations of the TE and TA devices on the S bus is limited by timing
considerations. Specifically, the round trip propagation delay of a signal from the RBSU/RBSS
circuit to one device must be within four microseconds of the delay from the other device on the
bus. That is to say, layer-1 frames from the RBSU/RBSS must be received within a two
microsecond window. This says nothing about how large the delay can be. In fact, it can be much
larger, as long as the differences remain small.
To control electrical characteristics, a 100-ohm terminating resistor (TR) is required at both ends
of the passive bus. One resistor should be across the Tx pair and one across the Rx pair at either
end of the passive bus. Branch-type passive bus configurations, shown in Figures 7-19~7-22, may
only require a TR on the RBSU/RBSS NT circuit side and not on the TE or TA device side of the
bus.
The RBSU and RBSS circuits provide an option switch that allows the 100-ohm TR to be switched
into the circuit on the Strata CTX side of the bus (see Table 7-8 on page 7-17 and Table 7-11 on
page 7-22). Most TE-1 and TA devices also provide option switches to connect 100-ohm
terminating resistors as shown in Figure 7-17.
If the TE or TA devices do not provide TRs, they may be permanently wired in place on a RJ45
jack at the far end of the bus. Only one terminating resistor on each pair should be on the far (TE)
end of the passive bus - do not switch in TRs on more than one TE-1 or TA device on the passive
bus.
Important!

The correct placement of TRs on the Passive Bus is critical to ISDN BRI circuit
operation (see the following RBSU/RBSS Passive Bus configurations section).

RBUU Installation
Before you can begin installation of the RBUU, you may have to install the subassemblies.

³ To install the subassemblies (RBUS)
³ Place the RBUS card (component side facing down) onto the RBUU connectors. Apply firm,
even pressure to ensure proper seating of the connectors. The RBUS card should have been
installed at the factory.

³ To install an RBUU PCB
1. Insert the RBUU (component side facing right) into the appropriate expansion unit slot and
apply firm, even pressure to ensure proper seating of connectors.
2. After installing the RBUU, gently pull the PCB outward. If the connectors are properly seated,
a slight resistance is felt.

• Install the Toshiba-supplied Ferrite core on each ISDN circuit card per Figure 7-16 on
page 7-23. The Ferrite core is not supplied with the ISDN circuit cards must be ordered
separately.
• For more information regarding the Strata CTX BRI-U interface, see “PRI and BRI Overview”
at the beginning of this chapter.
Line-side cabling
• The ISDN BRI U-interface circuits are two-wire on the PSTN line-side.
• The wiring from the demarc to the Strata CTX BRI circuit should be made with CAT3~CAT5
twisted pair wire.

• The maximum distance between the PSTN BRI interface circuit and the Strata CTX ISDN BRI
U line-side circuit (NT) is 18 kft. The Telco with the use of a repeater or fiber optic cable may
extend this distance.
• The U interface pair should go directly from the demarc jack to the Strata CTX interface PCB
with no bridge taps to different locations or should not have loading coils installed.
• BRI line-side cables should not be shielded.
• Each line-side BRI circuit requires a ferrite core as shown in Figure 7-16 on page 7-23.
• In the USA, most BRI-U Demarc jacks are RJ11, but they may be RJ45 eight-wire jacks. In
Canada the BRI-U Demarc jack is usually RJ45.

ISDN Testing and Troubleshooting
The Strata CTX provides a built-in loop back test to check the U-type, lSDN terminal connected to
the RBUU or RBUS circuit. The Strata CTX performs the 2B+D loop test using the eoc ISDN,
layer 1 function. This tests the U-terminal and the wire connection from the Strata CTX to the BRI
device; it does not check the Strata CTX PCM highway or RBUU/RBUS functionality.

1. Connect the U-terminal device to the Strata CTX BRI, RJ45 circuit jack (see Figure 7-29).
2. Connect the Strata CTX TTY port (PIOU, RSIU, TSIU, etc.) to the COM port of a PC running
a communications application such as ProComm or Hyper Terminal, etc.

ISDN Testing and Troubleshooting

The above response indicates the test was passed and that the B1, B2 and D channels and the
wire connections for the tested device are operating properly.
If the Strata CTX responds with:
TEST FAIL
The test failure could be caused by:
• U-terminal is in busy state when the test was started.
• U-terminal is in TQ/ACB/ACD mode when the test was started
• The Strata CTX BRI PCB slot or circuit number was not entered correctly.
• U-terminal can not support loop back testing U-terminal, BRI PCB, or wiring is defective.
If the Strata CTX responds with:
TEST EXIT
Test exit could be caused by:
• The Strata CTX processor did not get test results from the BRI circuit within five seconds
from start of the test.
• U-terminal or BRI circuit was unplugged during the test.
• User made the exit request during testing

Loop-back Test
The BPTU and RPTU have loop-back test jumpers that enable physical connections (cables/jacks/
plugs) between the PCB, CSU, and the network PRI line to be tested (see Figure 7-30). The tests
check that the CSU receives and transmits the PRI signal properly in both directions. The test
signals, generated by the Network PRI provider, pass through the CSU and loop around the BPTU
or RPTU. The BPTU or RPTU sends the received test signal back through the CSU to the Network
and the Network detector checks for a valid signal.

Loop-back Test
1. Remove the PRI modular cord from the RPTU RJ45 jack and remove the RPTU from its card
slot.
2. Place the JP1 and JP2 jumpers to the LB-On position. Install the RPTU with the Strata CTX
power Off and the PRI modular disconnected from the RPTU RJ45 jack.
3. Turn the Strata CTX power On and connect the PRI modular cord to RPTU RJ45.
4. After the PRI line and RPTU are synchronized, have the CO generate the loop-back test sign
(all “1s” or “0s”).
CAUTION! Do not have the CO do a QRS loop-back test, because the test signal may

cause the Strata CTX to drop all calls and/or stop operating.
5. If the loop-back test fails, perform tests to isolate the problem with an ISDN test set, such as the
Sunbird, ISDN, or Trend DUET. In this case, the network PRI line is disconnected and the test
set is connected to the CSU network input jack. For testing details, refer to the ISDN test set
operating procedures.

Timing and Synchronization
The Digital Network is connected by timing clocks that synchronize the network and have various
degrees of precision (stratum levels). There are four stratum levels – 1 is the highest and 4 is the
lowest. They are associated with the following sources:
• Stratum – 1: Public Telephone Network clock
• Stratum – 2: #4 ESS Toll Switches
• Stratum – 3: #5 ESS Central Offices
• Stratum – 4: Digital PBXs
In the Strata CTX, one PRI, BRI, or T1 PCB can be programmed to extract the Stratum clock
signal. It uses the signal as the Strata CTX system Primary clock reference. The clock provider
should be a reliable source, such as a Telco or common carrier (AT&T). All other PRI, BRI, or T1
lines connected to the Strata CTX will be synchronized to the same clock provider. If the PRI,
BRI, or T1 are not synchronized to the same clock provider, the Strata CTX could experience
“slip” problems.
The timing or synchronization program determines how the Strata CTX digital voice or data
transmission path is synchronized with the far-end digital path. For proper PRI, BRI, and T1
operation, the equipment at each end of the line must be synchronized.

ISDN Interfaces
Timing and Synchronization

The Strata CTX processor time switch is synchronized as the slave to the PRI, BRI, or T1 line
(Line 1 in Figure 7-31).
If a malfunction occurs and Primary reference synchronization is lost, the Strata CTX
automatically switches modes and synchronizes to the Secondary reference, provided that there is
another PRI, BRI, or T1 installed in the Strata CTX system.

Primary and Secondary References

Figure 7-31 shows the Primary reference PCB. The clock signal from Line 1 passes through the
PCB Software Switch (SS1) and the synchronization circuit of the RCTU PCB. The RCTU clock
passes the clock source through the time switch and synchronizes the Strata CTX digital
transmission voice or data path.
The Secondary reference is activated if the Primary reference fails. The Strata CTX automatically
switches over to the Secondary reference PCB by opening its synchronization circuit (SS1) and
closing the synchronization circuit (SS2). When this occurs, the digital voice or data path of the
Strata CTX is synchronized to the Line 2 clock source.
If the path is not synchronized to the Stratum – 1 clock source, calls connected through that path
experience “slipping” or “jitter” in the digital voice or data path (channels). Figure 14-7 shows an
unsynchronized signal from Line 3. The unsynchronized signal produces a clicking or popping
sound that is heard by the people connected through this path or causes data errors on data
transmissions.

PRI/BRI Call Monitoring

PRI/BRI Call Monitoring

The hardware connections and communication parameters for the ISDN monitor port are shown in
Figure 7-32. Once this connection is setup and established, call monitoring data continues to be
sent (on the fly) as PRI and BRI calls are originated or received.

ISDN Interfaces

The Strata CTX ISDN circuit cards provide an RS-232 monitor function that enables you to
monitor the ISDN D-channel call progress layer two and three messages (setup, connect, and
release). This data can be monitored live, saved to a file, and/or printed using a PC with
communication software.

Two sample printouts from the RPTU monitor are provided. Figure 7-32 shows typical ISDN PRI
start-up and synchronization sequences that occur at connection and power on. Figure 7-33 shows
typical ISDN PRI outgoing call setup and release sequences. BRI monitor data is similar to PRI
monitor data.
The communication parameters for all call-monitor jacks are 9600 bps, 7, 1, even.

Note The RPTU, RBSU and RBUU ISDN interface PCBs each have a call-monitor jack. The pin

numbering and communication parameters are the same for each call-monitor jack. The
call-monitor jack on each PCB provides data only for the circuits of the PCB on which it
appears.

T1

This chapter covers the RDTU T1/DS-1 interface for the Strata CTX systems. It contains
information about the RDTU3 and RDTU1/2. The RDTU3 is a replacement for the RDTU1 and 2.
numbered term, such as “RDTU3” is used.

T1

Note “RDTU” refers to all RDTU (1, 2 or 3) PCBs. When a distinction is required, the exact

Program Channels
The RDTU PCB provides T1/DS-1 interface for up to 24 channels on the Strata CTX. Each
channel can be individually set for loop start, ground start, Tie, or DID line operation (voice only,
not data lines). Each RDTU can be set in system programming to activate (1~8), (1~16), or (1~24)
channels (lines). Fractional increments of 4, 12, and 20 are also possible but the RDTU still
assigns 8, 16, or 24 channels respectively in system software.
Example: If only 12 channels of fractional T1 are used, assign RDTU as a 16 channel RDTU. The
system assigns 16 CO lines to the RDTU even though only 12 CO lines are used.

Select Slot Assignments
RDTU PCBs can be installed in a Strata CTX to provide up to 264 lines (max). RDTU PCBs can
be installed in any CTX cabinet, except remote CTX cabinets driven with RRCU cards. RDTU
PCBs must be placed in designated slots in each of the Strata CTX cabinets. (See “Worksheet 5:
Strata CTX100 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-26 and “Worksheet 6: Strata CTX670 Cabinet Slots” on
page 2-37.)
If an RDTU is installed in a cabinet (in some cases one slot to the right of the RDTU may not be
used in that cabinet) the number of unusable slots in a cabinet depends on which slot the RDTU
occupies and how many lines (16 or 24) the RDTU is programmed to provide.

RDTU Installation
³ To install an RDTU PCB
1. Set the jumper wire plugs to the correct position for the cable length.
• RDTU3 – see “RDTU3 - T1 Interface Unit” on page 8-2
• RDTU1 and 2– see “RDTU3 Cabling” on page 8-5.
2. Turn the Strata CTX system power Off.
3. Refer to Chapter 2 – Strata CTX Configuration to determine the appropriate slot for the RDTU:
• “Worksheet 5: Strata CTX100 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-26
• “Worksheet 6: Strata CTX670 Cabinet Slots” on page 2-37
• “RDTU3 - T1 Interface Unit” on page 8-2 or “RDTU3 Cabling” on page 8-5
4. Insert the RDTU (component side facing right) into the appropriate slot and apply firm, even
pressure to ensure proper seating of connectors.
5. For the RDTU3 only, set the SW10 jumper plug for internal or external ROM operation, per
Table 8-3.

Note

When there is an internal ROM on the CPU (TMP93PW46), RDTU3A
operates with the SW10.
CPU

Use this mode when IC19 is not on PCB (see Figure 8-1).
If the SW10 is in CPU position, RDTU3A is operating with the internal
ROM regardless of IC19 existence.
RDTU3A is operating with the external ROM (IC19).

ROM

Use this mode only when IC19 is on PCB (see Figure 8-1).
If the SW10 is in ROM position without IC19, the RDTU3A will not work.

Note For cabling information and requirements, refer to the specific instructions for the type of

card.

RDTU3 Cabling
Each RDTU3 T1 PCB requires the following connecting equipment and cables to provide service
(see the following sections and Figure 8-3).
RDTU3 to Network
If the RDTU3 must interface to a public telephone network or common carrier T1 circuit, the
RDTU3 must be connected to a CSU. Use the RDTU3-CBL-KIT to connect the RDTU to the
CSU. The function of the CSU is to provide the required interface between the RDTU PCB and the
Public Telephone or Carrier Network. The interface created by the CSU normally provides
protection and capabilities for loop back testing both the Network equipment and the RDTU PCB.
Connecting the CSU to the Network Interface Unit (NIU) is specified by the CSU manufacturer—
see CSU installation documentation. The RDTU3-CBL-KIT supplies the cables and connectors
required to connect the CSU to the NIU.

RDTU to PBX T1 - Direct Back-to-back Connection (up to 655 ft.)
If the RDTU is within 655 ft. of the far-end PBX T1 circuit, a CSU is not required. However,
connecting a RDTU T1 span to another PBX or Key/Hybrid T1, in a Tie line configuration at a
distance less than 655 ft. (without a CSU) will require a customer provided special cable. The
transmit and receive pair of this span cable must be crossed pairs and the wires must be 24 AWG,
twisted pair, otherwise 22 AWG, ABAM type cable must be used. (See Figure 8-4.)

RDTU3 Loop Back Jumper Plugs
The RDTU PCB provides jumper plugs for loop back testing. Loop back tests are described in
“Loop Back Testing” on page 8-19. See Table 8-5 for switch settings for Loop Back tests.

RDTU3 Front Panel Indicators
The RDTU3 PCB provides seven LED indicators to show the status of RDTU: Busy or Idle
condition, Alarm status, and Synchronization status. See Table 8-2 for the function of each status
LED. Figure 8-1 shows the LED locations. Busy LED (BSY)—Turns on when one or more RDTU
channels (lines) are in use. Also, when the RDTU does not receive the far end 1.544 mbs carrier
signal, the RDTU will cause the BSY to be on steady.

RDTU3A Call Data Information

Notes

• There are some cases when the RDTU will not receive requests from the central processor unit
(CPU), such as the time waiting for wink signal. When the RDTU attempts to move to a nonreceiving state, the RDTU sends commands to the CPU to stop sending requests. The CPU
stops sending requests until the RDTU cancels the stop. “DDT1” indicates that the RDTU is in
a non-receiving state.
• Dial pulse digits are communicated using A/B bits, so the RDTU can detect and send out from
the monitor port. DTMF digits cannot monitored because they pass through the speech path.

RDTU1 & 2 - T1 Interface Unit

Alarms are used to indicate potentially serious telephone network problems. Example: when
monitoring a T1 network, if a Blue or Yellow alarm is indicated, it can be concluded that there is a
cable fault or some other serious transmission impairment.
Table 8-12

RDTU1 and 2 LED Functions
Alarm LED

Function

Turns On steady if the RDTU has not achieved synchronization or when the span
cable is not connected.

Multi-Frame Alarm
(MFALM)

LEDs turn On steady if the RDTU receives the 1.554 mbs T1 carrier from the far
end, but has not achieved Frame synchronization or when the span cable is not
connected. Also, if the RDTU is set for SF and the far end is sending ESF (or vice
versa), the MFALM LED will be On steady.

Red Alarm (FALM
and MFALM)

When FALM and MFALM are both On steady, it’s a Red alarm condition. This
means the RDTU does not detect a proper carrier signal (1.544 mbs T1) on its
receive pair and the RDTU is not synchronized. During a Red alarm condition, the
RDTU turns the BSY LED On steady and attempts to send a Yellow alarm signal
(RDTU YALM LED flashes) to the far end T1 circuit.

Yellow Alarm
(YALM)

When the far end network or CPE T1 does not detect the RDTU transmitted 1.544
mbs T1 carrier signal on its receive pair the far end, T1 sends a Yellow alarm signal
pattern to the RDTU. The RDTU should turn on the YALM LED (the YALM repeats
the signal it receives from the far end—flashing or steady). If the RDTU does not
receive the far end carrier signal, the RDTU sends the Yellow alarm signal to the far
end and causes the BSY and YALM LEDs to flash.

Blue Alarm (BALM)

The Blue alarm, also known as the Alarm Indication Signal (AIS), is detected by the
RDTU. This signal is sent by the Far End Network equipment to RDTU when it
loses the carrier from a Network T1 circuit (other than RDTU). This signal assures
that the RDTU maintains synchronization when there is a problem between two
Network Nodes. The RDTU BALM also lights if the far end sends a Blue alarm
signal during loop back. The RDTU sends a Blue alarm signal when loop-back test
is being performed.

T1

Frame Alarm
(FALM)

See Figure 8-6 on page 8-16 – If one RDTU PCB is assigned as the Primary Timing
T1 PCB in Program 105, the PSYNC LED of this RDTU PCB flashes when it is
synchronized with the far end T1 span line clock provider.
Primary
Synchronization
(PSYNC)

If the Primary RDTU is not synchronized with the clock provider, the PSYNC LED
will be On steady. The SSYNC LED of the Primary sync RDTU PCB should always
be Off. The Primary sync RDTU PCB synchronizes the RTCU (time-switch) to the
clock signal it receives from the T1 span circuit to which it is connected. The RTCU
then synchronizes the Strata CTX PCM talk path (time-switch) to the far end PCM
talk path.
If an RDTU PCB is assigned as the Secondary time T1 PCB in Program 105, its
SSYNC LED will be On steady (standby mode) when the Strata CTX is
synchronized to the Primary T1 clock provider.

Secondary
Synchronization
(SSYNC)

In the event Primary synchronization is lost (4 out of 12 consecutive frame timing
bits are in error), the Strata CTX switches from synchronizing to the Primary RDTU
span line clock to the span line clock connected RDTU designated as the
Secondary Timing Reference. When the Strata CTX is synchronized to the
Secondary Reference RDTU, the PSYNC LED on the Primary Reference RDTU
turns on steady and the SSYNC LED on the Secondary Reference RDTU will flash.

Run Free
(PSYNC/SSYNC)

If the RDTU PCB is the clock provider to the Far-end T1 span circuit, both the
PSYNC and SSYNC LEDs are always Off.

9

This chapter explains how to install the Strata CTX Internet Protocol (IP) telephones
(IPT1020-SD). It also covers installing the Internet Protocol Telephone (IPT) interface
(BIPU-M2A or BIPU-M1A) units into Strata CTX systems with Release 2.0 or higher software, as
well as the Strata Net QSIG over IP Interface Unit (BIPU-Q1A) that requires CTX Release 2.1
software.
The BIPU-M2A provides Network Address Translation (NAT) compatibility; whereas,
BIPU-M1A requires a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection for remote IP telephone
connections.

CTX WinAdmin 2.1 or higher is required to program CTX Release 2.0 software. This is available
on FYI and on the Strata CTX WinAdmin Application Software and CTX/DK/Partner Products
Documentation Library CD-ROM.

Pre-installation Guidelines

IP Telephony and QSIG
Over IP

IPTs support most CTX telephone features. As of this release, Speaker OCA is the only CTX
telephone feature not supported by IPT1020-SD telephones. Handset OCA is supported.

In general, it’s important to obtain as much information as possible about the client’s telephone
network topology. Below are examples of the kind of information that you need to know up front.

❐

Determine what type of IPT to network connections would be best for the client: switch,
LAN, or VPN. Refer to “Step 4: Connect IPTs to Network” on page 9-13 for more
information.

❐
❐

Find out who is the client’s IP carrier or provider.

❐

Are there other limitations for the IP carrier/provider regarding internet access. For
example, some services require a user authorization number to access the internet. You
will need this information. Inquire about Point-to-point Over Ethernet (PPOE) restrictions.

❐
❐
❐

How much bandwidth is available for IP connections?

Strata CTX I&M

Find out if that IP carrier or provider allows more than one IP address per off-site system.
Some providers offer multiple IP addresses, others may offer only one. This limitation
should be discussed with the client.

The client’s IR department needs to extend their LAN to the networked location.
Toshiba recommends that you perform a LAN Voice Readiness Assessment if installing
IPTs on your LAN. Quality of Service (QoS) and calls are highly dependent on setting up
correct quality parameters. Refer to “Step 1: Perform a LAN Voice Readiness
Assessment” on page 9-3.

06/04

9-1

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Pre-installation Guidelines

Client Firewall Considerations
When installing a CTX with IP, you need to obtain information about your client’s firewall.

❐

Will the client allow you access through their firewall? If not, you will have to configure
around their firewall.
In case of providing services like packet filtering by setting a firewall between the
terminal used for the “IPT Anywhere” environment and the BIPU-MIA interface, you
need to prepare an appropriate setting that allows IPT control signals and voice signals to
penetrate the packet filter and other features of the firewall.

❐

If your clients are using Zonealarm® and Microsoft Windows XP®, you have to enable
the following:
• COM surrogate: access to trusted & Internet
• Generic Host Process: access to trusted & Internet
• Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) console program: access to
trusted & Internet AND access as a server to trusted & Internet
• Internet Information Services (IIS): access to trusted & Internet
• Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI): access to trusted & Internet

Dos and Don’ts for Setting Up the System
CTX IP Telephones and Strata Net are not compatible with older CTX line cards. If IP Telephones
access any of the line cards listed below, the user will experience unacceptable echo return loss
and voice quality. For best speech quality we recommend using the appropriate CTX cards for
CTX IP telephone connections.
Make sure that you have Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that are compatible with CTX R2.0 and
higher software and the IP telephones.
• Do not use – RCOU1A, RCOS1A, REMU1A (two-wire), RDDU1A, RGLU1A, RGLU2A
• OK to use – RCOU3A, RCOS3A, REMU1A (four-wire), REMU2A (two-wire/four-wire),
RGLU3A. and RDDU2A.
• Must use VPN for remote IP telephones that connect over the Internet with BIPU-M1A.
• With the BIPU-M2A, the IP telephone will now work with DSL and cable routers.
When connecting remote IP telephones to the BIPU-M2A over the Internet, a VPN router is
needed to circumvent Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall issues by tunneling.
Otherwise, the BIPU-2MA must be configured with a public IP address outside the network
firewall. See “IPT Anywhere” on page 9-13.

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Pre-installation Guidelines

Step 1: Perform a LAN Voice Readiness
Assessment
Deploying many IP telephones on a data LAN can have some unexpected pitfalls if the network
does not have the bandwidth and speed required to handle VoIP traffic. To prevent delay, jitter, and
data loss for VoIP traffic and retain the performance of your other business-critical network
applications a network Voice Readiness Assessment should be completed before installing VoIP.
Important!

Voice Readiness Assessments are the responsibility of the installing TSD dealer.
Toshiba is not responsible for supporting problems which occur because the
network on which the IP telephones are installed does not meet VoIP packet
requirements.

Methods of Estimating Bandwidth Requirements
A “rule of thumb” way to translate voice packet use into worst-case LAN bandwidth requirements
is shown below. (This is no substitute for a professional Voice Readiness Assessment).

• If the system has 100 IP telephones, multiple 25 simultaneous conversations by 115K bit/sec.
for an additional bandwidth requirement of 2.9M bit/sec. on the LAN.
Note The “25 simultaneous conversations” assume ¼ of the IP telephone users are talking at the

same time. This scenario is considered worst-case because the best quality CODEC (G.711)
is used as apposed to the G.729a which 29Kbps less bandwidth per conversation.
If installing IPTs on your LAN, Toshiba highly recommends downloading “A Handbook for
Successful VoIP Deployment: Network Testing, QoS, and More,” located at the time of this
printing at.http://www.netiq.com/products/vm/whitepapers.asp. Toshiba recommends reading this
document and making sure that you have:

IP Telephony and QSIG
Over IP

• When IP telephones use the G.711 CODEC with a packetization rate of 20 millisec. (best voice
quality), the bandwidth utilization rounds up to 115K bit/sec. per conversation.

• Tested Voice Over IP (VoIP) Call Quality
• Prepared your Data Network for VoIP, considering your needs for bandwidth, equipment
upgrades, network architecture, Quality of Service (QoS) and tuning, and classification of
traffic considerations.
CAUTION! If installing IP telephones remotely using cable or Digital Subscriber Lines

(DSL) Internet Service Providers (ISP) providers, Toshiba recommends
setting the telephone to use the G729a CODEC because upstream
bandwidth restrictions are usually imposed by the provider. Even if the
provider advertises an upstream rate is 128kbs, this bandwidth can still be
less depending on traffic conditions.

Review Voice Quality Considerations
For best speech quality we recommend not using the older CTX analog line cards for CTX IP
telephone connections. If these cards are used, IP telephones will experience fair or bad voice
quality. (See “Dos and Don’ts for Setting Up the System” on page 9-2.)
The amount of bandwidth required for communications over a particular IP network segment
depends on the number of voice channels supported, the anticipated call setup traffic, and how
much other data network traffic is present.
The quality of service (Excellent, Good, Fair, and Bad) provided by CTX IP Telephones and CTX
IP QSIG channels depends heavily on the LAN parameters as shown in Table 9-1.

1. Ratings of Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor were based on the tester in a quiet room and the tester could not see the other call
party. IPT is usable even with a "Poor" rating if delay is acceptable.
2. When selecting router equipment, the Latency, Jitter, Packet loss and Packet error conditions above should be considered as
well as the bandwidth. Bandwidth can be calculated with the CODEC and packet size. For better results, more bandwidth may
be required, depending on the amount of overall data traffic. For more details on QoS refer to “A Handbook for Successful
VoIP Deployment: Network Testing, QoS, and More” by John Q. Walker, NetIQ Corporation on www.netiq.com.
3. Use this number to estimate the bandwidth needed for the CODEC and interval timing required to achieve an expected
Quality of Service (Excellent, Good, etc). This bandwidth includes header and control information and a 25% margin for
network traffic variances.

The BIPU-M2A supports both G.711 and G.729A standard codec compressions simultaneously.
The type of compression used is set independently for each telephone in system programming (see
the “IP Telephone” section).
The BIPU-M2A operates on the network at 10/100 Mbps and can be connected to a fast switch
router, LAN, WAN, etc. When connecting remote IP telephones to the BIPU-M2A over the
Internet, a VPN router is needed to circumvent Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall
issues by tunneling. Otherwise, the BIPU-2MA must be configured with a public IP address
outside the network firewall.
BIPU-M2A provides MEGACO+ mobility to enable roaming with Toshiba Mobility
Communications System (MCS) applications (available with Toshiba MCS R1.0). The BIPU-M2
enables remote IP telephones to be connected over VPN and non-VPN IP networks.
BIPU-M2A firmware can be updated locally or remotely using CTX WinAdmin. This enables
service personnel to update IP equipment with new features and enhancements as they become
available. Updates require a brief interruption (a few minutes) of IP telephone operation.

Step 3: Install IP Telephones
Before installing any telephone wiring, read the following warning and caution notes:
WARNING!
³

Never install the telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

³

Never install the telephone jacks in wet locations, unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.

³

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.

³

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

³

If telephone wiring exits the building, external secondary protection is required. See Chapter 10
– MDF PCB Wiring.

CAUTION! When installing the station cable, do not run the cables parallel if they are

within three feet of an AC power line. AC power lines should be crossed at
right (90°) angles only. In particular, avoid running station wire pairs near
devices that generate electrical noise, such as neon or fluorescent light
fixtures.

CAUTION! Do not use cleansers that contain benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or other

solvents on the telephone's rubber feet. The color of the rubber may transfer
to the desk or mounting surface.

1. Install the AC power adapter
onto the IP telephone (IPT).
If using Power over LAN, install
PowerDsine unit per the
installation manual supplied with
that unit.
The IPT1020-SD must use the
AC adapter that is provided with
the telephone.
Important!

2. Use the supplied Ethernet
10/100Base-T (straight-through cable)
with an RJ45 connector (eight pin
jack) to connect to the telephone LAN
jack (see Figure on right).
3. Connect the other end of the telephone
LAN cord to the LAN or server (see
Figures 9-3 and 9-8.)
4. The IPT operates like a switch, as
opposed to a hub, so the IPT can be
connected directly to the LAN and
then a PC can be connected to the IPT
PC jack to make a connection to the
LAN.
5. Use the same type of RJ45 cable
connector used in the previous step to
connect the IPT to the PC.

IPT Anywhere
IPT Anywhere enables you to connect IP telephones remotely throughout the Internet and use all
Strata CTX telephone features (except Speaker OCA). IPT remote connections can be set with or
without the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPN connections provide increased security
and is recommended for permanent type IPT remote connections. When moving IPT telephones
frequently to different locations (hotels, conferences, etc.) non-VPN connections are more
practical.
When using home type xDSL or cable connections, only one or two IPTs may be connected
because of xDSL and cable bandwidth limitations. High speed T1, fiber, or ATM-type connections
are required when installing more than two IPTs at a remote site.
An Internet configuration could use the following connections:
• No VPN, and thus, no security (BIPU-M2A)
• Third party Virtual Private Network (VPN) software residing on DHCP gateway server. To
connect IPTs over the Internet, using third party or Microsoft VPN software residing on a
DHCP gateway server (see Figure 9-9.)
• ATM (IP over ATM virtualization by VC/VP)
• Broadband Ethernet virtualization by Virtual LAN (VLAN)
• IP-VPN (IP-VPN based on Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
• Private line connection

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Pre-installation Guidelines

IPT Anywhere enables IPT users working in satellite offices or off-site at home to make full use of
the extension features of the CTX IP telephones.
With IPT Anywhere, you should apply the following to prevent deterioration of voice quality:
• Voice compression by G.729A is available in Program 250-08 if using more than one IPT or a
cable or xDSL connection.
• Voice attributes table should be prepared according to the user’s “IPT Anywhere”
environment and provided to each terminal used for implementing this “IPT Anywhere”
environment (Program 152).
• Priority control functions supported by BIPU-M2A, IEEE802.1p and Diffserv (Program 15003) can be applied to the station used for implementing the “IPT Anywhere” environment.

Security Requirements
The terminal authentication using MAC addresses, provides an effective means of restricting the
connection of unauthorized terminals in normal LAN environment, is also applicable to “IPT
Anywhere” environment. A networked security system is required in a “IPT Anywhere”
environment. But by limiting the implementation of “IPT Anywhere” environment to only within
an intranet environment, the required level of security can be provided.
The required level of security network can be physically provided with an intranet or by a VPN
service provided by the carrier or the provider, since the network will be virtually separated
between each contract user of the carrier’s or provider’s VPN service.
In case of providing services like packet filtering by setting a firewall between the terminal used
for the “IPT Anywhere” environment and IP-CTX, you need to prepare an appropriate setting that
allows IPT control signals and voice signals to penetrate the packet filter and other features of the
firewall.

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Power over LAN

Addressing
Regarding addressing of IP packets exchanged between IPT and the main system unit, the
following restrictions are normally applied.
• NAT (Network Address Translation)/NAPT (Network Address and Port Translation) devices
NAT/NAPT devices must not be used for communication between the “IPT Anywhere”
terminal and the interface card. The original IP header and UDP header must not be revised.
• VPN Tunneling – By making the private IP address a capsule of the global IP address, the
private IP address can be used to tunnel through the global IP network. Using tunneling makes
communication between the “IPT Anywhere” telephone and the interface card transparent.
Tunneling use requires that the carrier or the provider that the user is in contract with provides
a tunneling device or that the user installs his/her own tunneling device separately.
• Address system – It’s important to devise a control system to prevent the private IP addresses
of the network for the “IPT Anywhere” telephone and the network to which the interface card
installed in this terminal belongs from overlapping.

Hardware/Software Required
The SoftIPT works with the Strata CTX100-S, CTX100 and CTX670 telephone systems with CTX
R2.1 MG020 or higher.
SoftIPT operation requires a wired or wireless 802.11 connection over the IP network (Internet,
WAN, LAN, etc.) to the CTX BIPU-M2A or BIPU-M1A PCB with firmware version 07e or
higher IP interface. The voice communications uses the MEGACO+ protocol for call control
signaling and RTP for voice transmission.
Note The SoftIPT can work on wireless 802.11 networks (see “Application Notes for Wireless

802.11 Networks” on page 9-26 for more information).
A user can install the SoftIPT on a laptop, tablet or desktop PC at the same time, but each should
have a unique station ID and license. The SoftIPT works with desktop or laptop PCs with
Windows XP, or higher, operating system (OS).

The SoftIPT Graphical User Interface (GUI) has fixed and flexible buttons. Fixed buttons cannot
be changed (Intercom, Mute, Voicemail, Directory, Settings, Call Log and Help). Flexible buttons
can be assigned different features and labels.

Application Notes for Wireless 802.11 Networks
The Toshiba SoftIPT™ works on wireless 802.11 networks. However, current access point
technology does not provide for the management of quality of service over the wireless network,
which can result in a few observable degradations in voice quality.
Our objective here is to describe these issues for the network engineer, and offer some
recommendations. As the technology evolves, and the knowledge base grows, other problems and
solutions will emerge, hence the network engineer is encouraged to search out other sources of
information, from the specific access point manufacturers or from experts in the 802.11 wireless
industry.
Possible problems and their implications are:
1. Dropped packets may occur due to RF signal strength, especially as you get further away from
the access point. When small amounts of packet loss occur, you will notice a popping or
clipping sound. With larger amounts of packet loss, gaps in the conversation will occur. This
is very similar to the behavior of digital cell phones in the same situations. The best way to deal
with this is to design the wireless network for good coverage where it is needed.
2. Dropped packets may also occur due to excessive traffic on the wireless network. With multiple
devices accessing data through the same wireless network, current access points do not have a
method for prioritizing voice packets over data packets so when data applications create more
traffic than the wireless bandwidth can sustain, voice packets may get dropped. In addition,
access points do not have a mechanism for limiting the number of simultaneous sessions. In our
lab we find that up to seven calls can take place simultaneously on a single access point. This
number will vary depending on the access point, the RF environment, and any other activity in
the wireless environment.
3. When one terminal is in a poor signal area for the access point that it is associated with, the
access point may automatically reduce its data rate in order to achieve better communications
with that terminal. This new data rate affects communications with all terminals, which will
reduce the number of simultaneous calls the access point can support. Network engineers
should consider whether they want to disable the Auto TX Data Rate Feature.
4. Disconnected calls will result if you move too far away from the access point, or generally are
in a poor signal strength area. With current 802.11 wireless technology, when a terminal can’t
communicate with an access point, it will disassociate with it. This appears to the phone
application as a loss of the network, and the phone application disconnects. Even if you quickly
move back into range of an access point, it will take several seconds for the 802.11 terminal to
detect and re-associate with the access point.
5. Wireless networks can only get so large, before you have to break them up into multiple
subnets. Somewhere between 256 and 1000 nodes is where networks begin to need to be
broken up into multiple subnets. When multiple subnets are employed, the call will get dropped
as the terminal gets out of range of its subnet. But the terminal can reestablish its call after
associating with the new subnet.
FYI: At Toshiba we are working on technology to address problems 2~4 for the SoftIPT. Check
back with us.

Installing and Operating the SoftIPT

Wireless Recommendations
Follow these recommendations when using the SoftIPT on a wireless network.
• Ensure that no more than seven SoftIPT clients are working through a single access point at one
time.
• Engineer your wireless network so that there is good signal strength everywhere wireless
terminals will be used.
• Use the ping program to test your wireless network. In Microsoft® Windows® perform the
following:
1. Select Start > Run.
2. Type command, click OK.
3. At the prompt, type ping ñt ñl160 ñw250 (BIPU IP address, such as
159.119.112.32) and press Enter.

• Employ a channel allocation strategy. 802.11b supports multiple data rates, from 1Mbps up to
11Mbps. At 11Mbps – the objective of most networks these days, access points that are less
than five channels away will interfere with each other. This would mean that access points must
be on channels 1, 6, or 11. Some wireless network engineers have suggested that using
channels 1, 4, 7 and 10 would provide a very important fourth channel, and have minimal
interference.
• Check your environment for other access points and other equipment operating in the 802.11
band. There are many programs available that will allow you to identify access points within
reach of the terminal running the program. One example is Network Stumbler (this is not an
endorsement or recommendation of a particular product). Also consider that some cordless
phones operate in the same 2.4GHz band as 802.11b.

IP Telephony and QSIG
Over IP

This starts the ping program and sends packets to the BIPU. ñl160 makes the packets the
same size as a 20msec. voice packet, and the ñw250 says if there is no response in 250
msec., then the packet dropped. Periodically you can press  keys and see
the packet loss statistics. Packet loss ratios of 1% or less can be considered acceptable This
tool provides quantitative results that can be used when trying to engineer the wireless
network.

Considerations
To get the best use from your SoftIPT, consider the following tips.
• Use a headset with an attached microphone to provide good call quality and privacy. If you
don’t use a microphone/headset, the called party will hear an echo.
• When you are not wearing the headset, unplug it so that you can hear the phone ring. When the
headset is plugged in, you can only hear ringing through the headset.
• Use Microsoft Outlook 2002 to create contacts. The SoftIPT does not work with Outlook
Express.
• Dialing tips: When you click or select buttons on the SoftIPT, you will not hear button tones.
Also, you must use the SoftIPT directory, keyboard or dial pad buttons to call another number.
The SoftIPT does not recognize numbers that you “copy” and “paste” onto the screen.
• If you minimize the SoftIPT, incoming calls “pop up” the SoftIPT to the foreground. If you
want the SoftIPT to “pop up” for incoming calls, always minimize it after each call.
• The SoftIPT disconnects immediately after the called party hangs up. If you select the
Hangup button and it turns back to the Call button, it means that the other party disconnected
first.

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Installing and Operating the SoftIPT

• The Conf button works the same as the Cnf/Trn (Conference/Transfer) button on the DKT/
IPT telephones.
• You can make a Windows “shortcut” and add it to your program menu or add it as a Quick
Launch item using the standard Windows method. The SoftIPT application does not
automatically do this.
• When you exit the SoftIPT, any Call Forwarding that you set also turns off.
• Make sure that you are running only one version of the SoftIPT. If you click on the shortcut
icon or start the program while you are already running it, another SoftIPT application will
open. If you see “Searching BIPU...” or “Can’t Register SoftIPT” click the close button to
make sure that there isn’t another SoftIPT running.
• If you are on a SoftIPT call and you are viewing the Setting window, select Cancel to exit the
Setting window. Avoid selecting OK during a call, since it will reset the SoftIPT and the call.
The application will operate with the new Setting information after you start the SoftIPT again.
• The Call Log does not record calls that have a name associated with it. It logs calls that are
stored on the Strata CTX as a number.
• For the SoftIPT, configure the Strata CTX BIPU PCB for G.711 CODEC at 20msec. (40msec.
voice packet transmission interval is not supported and G.729 is not supported.)

Quality of Service statistics are not available on Strata CTX for the SoftIPT.

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Private Networking Over Internet Protocol

Private Networking Over Internet Protocol
Strata Net CTX multi-system networking can be implemented over an IP network using Strata
CTX systems with BIPU-Q1A IP interface PCBs. The BIPU-Q1A requires CTX Release 2.1
software. This feature offers the same connection service as ISDN dedicated lines with QSIG
protocol on the public network. QSIG over IP, like any other IP device (i.e., Cisco routers, etc.)
does support reliable passage of modemized data signals, such as modem signal and G3 fax.

BIPU-Q1A - Strata Net QSIG over IP Interface Unit
Circuits per PCB: eight or 16 circuits
Interfaces with:

Strata Net over IP Networking

Older Version(s): None

The BIPU-Q1A can be configured for up to 16 channels in system programming. The BIPU-Q1A
supports the same functions of call control as the dedicated ISDN QSIG interface and the two
interface types can be mixed in on a Strata Net network. However, the BIPU-Q1A only interfaces
with the BIPU-Q1A, not with the BPTU or RPTU interfaces and vice versa.
For bandwidth requirements, refer to the section “Strata Net QSIG Over IP and IPT Bandwidth
Requirements” on page 9-41.
Refer to “Dos and Don’ts for Setting Up the System” on page 9-2 if you are planning to mix
analog and IP QSIG circuit cards in the same Strata CTX system.

Strata Net QSIG Over IP and IPT Bandwidth Requirements
The bandwidth requirements for Strata Net QSIG over IP is the same as those for IP telephones.
Refer to Table 9-1 on page 9-5 to estimate the quality of service (Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor)
provided by CTX IP QSIG channels depending heavily on the LAN parameters.
When sharing voice and data on the same network segment, the data will cause some jitter in voice
communications, especially on slower segments. Table 9-11 shows calculations of the amount of
jitter assuming a worst case data packet size of 1500 bytes (Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) =
1500) based on a segment’s bandwidth. This also requires that the routers connecting the segment
through the WAN support Diffserv.
Note

A router that doesn’t support Diffserv may stack multiple data packets together increasing
the jitter perhaps indefinately. And the voice quality will be indeterminate.

IP Telephony and QSIG Over IP
Private Networking Over Internet Protocol

So the amount of bandwidth that is required on a segment to support a specific number of calls
is the sum of the number of channels multiplied by the bandwidth for the selected CODEC and
interval, plus the bandwidth required for the selected number of busy hour call attempts. And
the jitter is determined by the bandwidth of the WAN segment.
Example: If you want to support 4 calls using the G..711 CODEC with a 20 msec. interval, this
requires 4 x 88 kbps = 352 kbps of bandwidth. In addition, to support 1000 busy hour call
attempts, 6 kbps must be added for a total of 358 kbps. If only voice is going to be carried on
the segment, then a 384 kbps segment (6 B-channels) is sufficient. If voice and data are going
to be mixed on the segment, then at least 25% (89.5 kbps) should be added, or more, based on
the amount of data traffic desired. In this case, a total of 447 kbps will be required which
would best be supported by a 512 kbps segment (8 B-channels). This would result in an
expected jitter of 20 ms in the voice traffic.

BIPU-Q1A Installation
1. Make sure the BIPS1A daughter card is securely installed onto the BIPU-Q1A PCB (the
BIPS1A is installed on the BIPU-Q1A at the factory). See Figure 9-2 on page 9-6.
2. Install the BIPU-Q1A into one of the following slots:
• CTX100 Base and Expansion Cabinet slots (1~8, 16 channels per slot per Program 100)
• CTX670 Base Cabinet slots (1~8, 16 channels per slot per Program 100)
• CTX670 Expansion Cabinet slots (1~6, 16 channels per slot per Program 100)
3. Follow the procedure in Chapter 2 – Strata CTX Configuration to check the cabinet power
factor.
4. Power up the system. Refer to Table 9-2 for status indicators.
5. Program the CTX per the instructions in the Strata CTX Programming Manual.

Connect BIPU-Q1A to LAN, Server or Router
1. Plug one end of a straight-through CAT5/5e/6 LAN cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the
BIPU-Q1A PCB in the CTX. (See Figure 9-2 on page 9-6.)
2. Plug the other end of the BIPU-Q1A CAT5/5e/6 LAN cord into a LAN, server or router jack.
Note The BIPU-M2A or Q1A-switch cables are straight-through cables.

This chapter provides instructions on how to connect telephones to the Strata CTX systems and
how to configure and upgrade them for optional features.
The Strata CTX systems can support Toshiba corded and cordless digital telephones, as well as
most standard telephones provided by other suppliers. The digital telephone information in this
chapter applies to the 3000-series and 2000-series telephones that connect to the PDKU, ADKU or
BDKU/BDKS interface.
Strata CTX does not support Toshiba electronic telephones (EKT) or other devices supported by
the PEKU and PESU interface PCBs. For information on earlier models, refer to the appropriate
Strata DK manual. Procedures for installing direct station selection consoles and add-on modules
also appear in this chapter.
Note Strata IP telephones are discussed in the IPT chapter of this document.

3000-series Digital Telephones Telephone
The 3000-series digital telephone (DKT) models consist of:
• DKT3010-S (10-button speakerphone model which enables users to make and receive outside
and internal calls without lifting the handset)
• DKT3020-S (20-button speakerphone model which enables users to make and receive outside
and internal calls without lifting the handset)
• DKT3010-SD (10-button speakerphone model equipped with an LCD that displays two rows
of 24-characters. The speakerphone enables users to make and receive outside and internal calls
without lifting the handset.)

• DKT3014-SDL (14-button speakerphone model equipped with 16 buttons for LCD soft keys
and a large LCD. The large LCD accommodates up to eight rows of 24 characters on a screen
which tilts for easy viewing.)
• DKT3001 (single line, digital telephone that enables users to make and receive outside and
internal calls using the handset.)

Before installing any telephone wiring, read the following warning and caution notes:
WARNING!

11-2

³

Never install the telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

³

Never install the telephone jacks in wet locations, unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.

³

Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has
been disconnected at the network interface.

³

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

³

If telephone, DSS console, door phone control box, or door phone wiring exits the
building, external secondary protection is required. See Chapter 10 – MDF PCB Wiring.

Strata CTX I&M

06/04

Station Apparatus
3000-series Telephone Option PCBs

CAUTION! When installing the station cable, do not run the cables parallel if they are

within three feet of an AC power line. AC power lines should be crossed at
right (90°) angles only. In particular, avoid running station wire pairs near
devices that generate electrical noise, such as neon or fluorescent light
fixtures.

CAUTION! Do not use cleansers that contain benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or other

solvents on the telephone's rubber feet. The color of the rubber may transfer
to the desk or mounting surface.
Digital telephones connect to the digital telephone ports via the MDF with standard twisted-pair
jacketed telephone cable. If using 24 AWG cable, single-pair wiring is sufficient in most cases for
digital telephones to operate effectively at up to 1000 feet from the system.
Digital telephones that are equipped with ADMs should have two-pair (or external power) to
function effectively at this distance. This also applies to digital telephones supported by systems
that must operate with battery reserve power (see Chapter 4 – Strata CTX670 Installation for more
information).
To accommodate the digital telephone line cord, the cable should be terminated in a modular
station connector block (RJ11) at the station location. The standard single-pair, modular digital
telephone cord that is sent with the telephone is 7 ft. (the maximum allowed is 25 ft.).
Notes
●

Digital telephone cable runs must not have cable splits (single or double), cable bridges (of
any length), or high resistance or faulty cable splices.

3000-series Telephone Option PCBs
Digital telephones can be upgraded with option PCBs to add a number of features. Each of these
upgrades shares a circuit with the telephone that it is connected to and is not considered a station.
See Table 11-2 for more information.

Telephone Speaker Off-hook Call Announce Upgrade (BVSU)
To receive Speaker Off-hook Call Announce (OCA) calls over the digital telephone speaker, a
digital telephone must be upgraded with a BVSU; the telephone making the call does not require a
BVSU. Digital telephones do not require an additional wire pair to receive Speaker OCA call. The
BVSU is not necessary to receive handset OCA.
BVSU Upgrade Installation for DKT3000-series Telephones
1. Loosen the four captive screws on the telephone base and remove the base (see Figure 11-2).
2. On the BVSU (see Figure 11-1, set strip pins SW1 and SW2 per Table 11-5.

Telephone Headset (BHEU) Upgrade
The BHEU can be installed into the DKT3000-series telephones to enable headset or external
ringer use. For information on connecting the external ringer, refer to “Telephone (BHEU) to
External Speaker (HESB) Cable Connection” on page 12-18. The BHEU can also be installed into
DKT3010 and DKT3020 telephones that have either a BVSU or BPCI installed. For DKT3001
and DKT3014 telephones, the installation is same as below, only the connector location is
different.

BHEU Installation
1. Loosen the four captive screws
on the telephone base, and
remove the base. Knock out hole
for the BHEU cord (see Figure
11-2).
2. If you are connecting an ECM or
Carbon-type headset to the
BHEU, leave the BHEU jumper
in the “AUTO” position (see
Figure 11-4).

“AUTO” enables the BHEU
current detector to determine
which headset type is connected
(less than 2mA detects EMC and
more than 2mA detects Carbon).
If, in a rare case the current is
marginal using a carbon headset
(only) and performance is not
adequate, set the jumper to
“CARBON.”

Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console/System
Connection
The DSS console can be connected to a BDKU/BKDS or
PDKU on any circuit. DSS consoles are associated with
digital telephones via system programming. This section
provides instructions on how to install the consoles.

DSS Console Connections
DSS consoles are connected to BDKU/BDKS or PDKU
PCBs using standard twisted single-pair or two-pair jacketed
telephone cable (maximum 1000 feet, 303 meters) is used for
the connection.
To accommodate the DSS console connection, the
instrument end of the cable should be terminated in a
modular station connector block (RJ11). Refer to Chapter 10
– MDF PCB Wiring for wiring/interconnecting details.

5842

Notes
●

●

DSS console cable runs must not have cable splits (single or double), cable bridges (of any
length) or high resistance or faulty cable splices.
See the appropriate Installation chapter for secondary protection information and loop limits.
CAUTION! When installing the DDSS cable, do not run the cables parallel if they are

within three feet of an AC power line. AC power lines should be crossed at
right (90°) angles only. In particular, avoid running station wire pairs near
devices that generate electrical noise, such as neon or fluorescent light
fixtures.

Standard Telephones

Note Before proceeding, see warning and caution notes in “3000-series Telephone Installation”

on page 11-2.
Standard telephones connect to circuits on the Standard Telephone Interface PCBs: RSTU,
RSTU2, RDSU/RSTS and PSTU via the MDF with standard twisted-pair jacketed telephone
cable. (See single-pair wiring in Chapter 10 – MDF PCB Wiring for more details.)

Station Apparatus

This section explains how to connect standard telephones to the Strata CTX670 system. Toshiba
does not provide standard telephones. Whenever standard telephones are mentioned in this
manual, it refers to 500- and 2500-type standard telephones.

The standard telephone cable’s overall loop resistance, connected on- or off-premises, is 300 ohms
max. for PSTU; 600 ohms for RSTU and RDSU/RSTS with -24VDC (no R48S), and 1200 ohms
for RSTU and RDSU/RSTS with -48VDC (R48S installed on RSTU, RSTU2, or RDSU PCB),
including telephone resistance. This applies to all devices connected to standard telephone circuits.
A standard telephone connected off-premises via the telephone network should interface with
OL13A, OL13B, or OL13C lines (or equivalent) and connect to an RJ21X, FIC jack or equivalent.

Troubleshooting

Low Battery
Your cordless telephone comes equipped with one rechargeable battery:
•

DKT2204-CT: BT2499 battery that provides six hours of talk and four days of standby time
(fully charged).

•

DKT2304-CT: BT930 battery that provides seven hours of talk and five days of standby time
(fully charged).

A “fast charge” in the handset and a “trickle charge” in the charging unit enables the extended talk
and standby times.
When the battery is low, the Battery icon displays on the LCD
(shown right) and the handset beeps. Low battery symptoms are:
•

On a call
• All buttons and functions operate
• Handset beeps once every three seconds

Note To continue your call, you must replace the battery pack within 20 seconds.
•

In standby mode
• None of the buttons operate
• LCD messages are cleared
• Handset beeps every 15 seconds for three minutes
• Cannot make or receive call

To restore your battery capacity, return the handset to the charging unit for charging or replace the
handset battery with a charged one. If the handset is on the charging unit for one minute, battery
low condition is cancelled. The Battery icon is turned Off and battery low tone stops.
For more information on installing and charging the battery, see Step 8: “Install Handset Battery
Pack” on page 39.

Cleaning Charging Unit Contacts
To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging
contacts on the handset, spare battery pack (DKT2204-CT only) and
charging unit about once a month (shown right). Use a pencil eraser
or a soft dry cloth. Do not use any liquids or solvents.

Charging Spare Battery Packs (DKT2204-CT only)
The charging unit of your cordless telephone is equipped to charge the spare battery pack with or
without the handset in the front slot.
1. Slide the spare battery pack into the second slot in the charging unit
until the retaining clip snaps over the top of the pack.
2. Make sure the BATT CHARGE indicator lights. If the BATT
CHARGE indicator doesn’t light, check to see that the AC adapter is
plugged in, and that the battery pack is making good contact with the
unit’s charging contacts.
Note Charge the battery pack without interruption for 12~15 hours.

3. When charging is complete, press out on the latch and remove the
battery pack for use. Or, if you don’t need the battery pack immediately,
leave it in the charging compartment. It will not overcharge.

Simultaneous Conversation Channels
DKT2204-CT
The DKT2204-CT cordless digital telephone has 10 operating channels available.
A common misconception is that this limits a customer to 10 cordless telephones. This is not the
case. Each cordless digital telephone can operate on any of the 10 channels. When you turn on a
cordless digital telephone, the telephone selects an available channel within its’ range. In a given
cordless range, 10 simultaneous calls can be made. In most businesses, it is unlikely that all 10
channels will be in use at the same time. Typically 20 to 30 telephones can share the 10 channels.
Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your cordless digital telephones
are disbursed throughout a facility, there should not be contention for channels. If there are more
than 10 cordless digital telephones in one area and 10 users are using their cordless telephones, an
11th user would not be able to connect at that time.

DKT2304-CT

Another factor is the distribution of the telephones in a facility. If your handsets are disbursed
throughout a facility, there should not be contention for all channels. If there are more than 30 in
one area and 30 users are using their handsets, the 31st user would not be able to get dial tone.

Strata CTX I&M

06/04

Station Apparatus

The DKT2304-CT cordless handset has 30 operating channels available. A common
misconception is that this limits a customer to 30 handsets. This is not the case. Each handset can
operate on any of the 30 channels because each one selects an available channel within its range.
In a given range, 30 simultaneous calls can be made.

Station Apparatus
Range and Performance

Range and Performance
The DKT2204-CT operates up to 1.1 miles and the DKT2304-CT .7 miles from its base in a
completely unrestricted test environment. Typically, ranges of 300 to 400 feet are possible,
depending on the building structure in which it is used. For optimum range and performance from
your handset, try the following:
•

Place the base units at least three to six feet away from the DKT; three feet from metal
structures; and six feet from computers, fax machines or other electronic equipment.

•

Use an AC outlet not associated with computer or electromagnetic equipment.

•

Wherever possible, put the base unit in the middle of the coverage area.

•

Mount the base unit high in the room for maximum range.

•

If you have two to three cordless telephones, put them 12 feet apart.

•

If you have four to 10 cordless telephones, put them 20 feet apart.

•

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your office, they must operate on
different channels. Press the Channel (DKT2204-CT)/CH (DKT2304-CT) button on the
handset to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

Radio Interference
Radio interference occasionally interrupts conversations, which does not mean that your unit is
defective. Move to a different location while you are talking. If the interference continues, move
the base unit. If there is still interference, contact your System Administrator.

Telephone Line Problems
The FCC and IC have granted the telephone company the right to disconnect service in the event
that your telephone causes problems on the telephone line. Also, the telephone company may
make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your
telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to allow you time for
making necessary arrangements to continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect your telephone to
determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it
disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.

Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base unit of your
cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open
airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be
received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently,
any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.

There are two types of HHEUs: the HHEU1 (which has four versions, V.1~V.4) and the
HHEU2.
2000-series digital telephones require either an HHEU2 or a V.3 or V.4 HHEU1 for HESB
operation; earlier HHEU1 versions are only sufficient for headset operation only.

DKT2020-FDSP Full-Duplex Speakerphone with External
Microphone
The DKT2020-FDSP is designed to allow both parties of a speakerphone call to speak
simultaneously. This eliminates “clipping” and enables true two-way conversation. However,
when two parties are talking simultaneously, the performance is not as good as on a handset. The
technology necessitates some volume loss in this situation.
An optional External Microphone can be connected for improved performance. However, the
External Microphone is extremely directional and should only be used in certain applications. The
telephone also provides half-duplex/full-duplex manual selection.
The DKT2020-FDSP has three operational modes for enhanced microphone use (Best, Good and
Normal). These modes allow adjustments for different room acoustical characteristics. Choosing
either the Internal or External Microphone (RFDM) and proper operational mode should be preselected by the system installer.
When the External Microphone option is installed, the telephone’s Internal Microphone is disabled
on all but Voice First Handsfree Answerback calls and OCA calls. The External Microphone is
powered by the phone (no batteries are required) and does not need to be turned off when not in
use.
Choosing either the Internal or External Microphone is performed on the DIP switch 5, located
under the keystrip (see Figure 11-35).
Important!

The DKT2020-FDSP’s full-duplex operation depends on the speaker volume setting. Raising or
lowering speaker volume directly affects the performance of the full-duplex operation.
• Depending on the room’s echo characteristics, raising the volume of the speakerphone can
cause the full-duplex operation to deteriorate. When set to maximum volume, it may be
necessary to switch to half-duplex operation.
• The speakerphone will automatically reduce volume in each direction when both the FDSP
user and the distant party are talking at the same time. The volume reduction is required to
control the echoes at high volume levels. It is possible for surrounding conversations and other
sounds to trigger this effect even when you are not speaking.

• When using the [PDN] or Intercom button, the performance for internal calls is not as good as
for external calls.
DIP Switches
The DKT2020-FDSP has DIP switches that enable the External Microphone and use telephone use
in other countries. The DIP switches are under the flexible button key strip (see Figure 11-35).

Station Apparatus

• The performance of the DKT2020-FDSP can vary on calls that involve a delay, such as
wireless calls, Voice Over Internet Protocol calls, etc. With these types of calls, the quality can
diminish.

There are three different DIP switch settings for optimum operation in various types of
environments:
• Best – provides full-duplex operation with the Internal or External Microphone. This is ideal
for a large enclosed area, such as an office with little echo. Echo varies according to the
environment. For instance, a room that is relatively empty has more echo than a room with
furniture or items that can absorb sound waves.

Strata CTX I&M

06/04

11-53

Station Apparatus
2000-series Telephones

• Good – provides full-duplex operation with the Internal or External Microphone. This is ideal
for a small office with high echo.
• Normal – provides full-duplex operation with the Internal or External Microphone. This works
well with an open office area, such as an office cubicle.

³ To use the External Microphone
1. Plug in the RFDM External Microphone to the bottom of the phone (see Figures 11-37 and
11-38).
2. Turn the microphone On by opening it (see Figure 11-39).
Note The High/Low switch works independently from the telephone’s speakerphone. This setting

must be on High for proper operation.
Important!
●

●

●

●

The microphone has a narrow voice pick-up range so the front of the microphone should
always point toward the person speaking (see Figure 11-40).
Be sure to place the microphone at least one foot from the telephone speaker and do not point
the microphone toward the telephone speaker grille.
To use the external microphone in a conference room setting, place the microphone away from
all parties to eliminate some of the directional effect. Parties may have to speak up to be
heard.
The RFDM External Microphone is not compatible with the HHEU or BHEU.
CAUTION! Avoid pulling the microphone cord excessively.

Speech Training Mode
When the DKT2020-FDSP is used in speakerphone mode, it adjusts to both the telephone line’s
and room’s acoustic properties. At the beginning of each speakerphone call, the echo canceller
must perform Speech Training by evaluating both the FDSP user and the far-end user’s voice,
background noise and line quality.
³ To train the speakerphone
³

The parties at both the local telephone and on the far end should take turns speaking for
approximately 10 seconds.

³ To improve speaker quality
³

If the conversation becomes unstable during the call, or there is clipped speech, feedback or
short silences, first try adjusting the volume. This forces the FDSP phone into speech training
mode. The LED will go on.

³

If conversation is still unstable, press button 10 to activate half-duplex mode. You can turn off
button 10 at any time to reactivate full-duplex mode.

³ To force the telephone into Speech Training mode
³

During a call, momentarily press Vol▲, Vol▼, Hold or MIC.
During Speech Training mode, the speakerphone operates in half-duplex mode.

Tips for best results
• Avoid blocking the microphone or shuffling paper near the microphone.
• Avoid placing the speakerphone where it can detect excessive background noise, especially
during Speech Training mode.
• Avoid moving the telephone during a call—this changes the room’s acoustic properties. If the
telephone or microphone is moved, you may have to force the Speech Training mode.
Special Button Operation (Button 10)
When using the external or Internal Microphone, button 10 works as a toggle from full- to halfduplex on the DKT2020-FDSP.

Button 10
toggles
between fulland half-duplex.

³ To toggle full/half-duplex mode
³

Press button 10 (see Figure 11-41) to turn full-duplex mode On or Off.
Full-duplex mode: Button 10 LED Off.
Half-duplex mode: Button 10 LED On.

Notes
●

●

●

Button 10 functions the same for Internal and/or External Microphone.
If DIP switch 6 and 7, in Figure 12, are turned Off, the Full/half-duplex function of Button 10
is disabled.
The DKT2020-FDSP’s full-duplex operation depends on the speaker volume setting. Raising
or lowering the speaker volume directly affects the performance of the full-duplex operation.

Important!

• If raising or lowering the volume does not improve performance, switch to half-duplex mode by
pressing Key 10.
• If both you and the distant party are using full-duplex speakerphones, the sensitivity to both
echo paths may cause a reduction or instability of volume. If this happens, it may be necessary
to switch to half-duplex mode by pressing key 10.

Music-On-Hold/Background Music Interfaces

Music-On-Hold/Background Music Interfaces
Strata CTX provides up to 15 MOH/BGM music source interfaces via the ACTU or BECU system
processor PCB, one or two BIOU optional interface PCBs, and RSTU standard telephone interface
PCBs. The destination of each music source is determined by system programming. The music
sources can be standard CD music players, telephony MOH machines and/or tape players, etc. The
music sources are connected to standard RCA type jacks on ACTU or BECU and BIOU and via a
dealer-supplied isolation transformer to RSTU (see Figure 12-8 for a connection diagram).
MOH is sent to callers placed on hold and BGM is sent to DKT telephone speakers and/or external
page speakers.
The ACTU, BECU and BIOU interfaces provide an input volume level control for each music
source. The volume levels of music sources connected to RSTU circuits rely strictly on the music
source volume controls.
MOH/BGM source output requirements:
• Output Impedance: 600 or 8 ohms
• Output voltage level: 0.14VRMS (-15dbm) ~ 0.77VRMS (0dbm).
An additional separate BGM source can be connected to the building’s external page amplifier to
play music over the paging speakers when the Strata CTX Page is not in use. This interface option
requires the BIOU zone relays or mute control (see External Page with BIOU Interface).

External Page with BIOU Interface
Up to two BIOU interfaces can be installed for connecting external page equipment. Each BIOU
can provide up to four unique page zones for a total of eight page zones maximum per system. The
BIOU interfaces can be installed in the main cabinets and/or any remote cabinet. Each BIOU
provides a 600ohm, non-amplified page output and an 8 ohm, 3-watt amplified page output. Only
one type of page output, amplified or non-amplified, can selected per BIOU in a given installation.
The BIOU also provides a control relay which can be used to mute external BGM when the
external page circuit is active (see Figures 12-8~12-12 for connection diagrams).

Door Phone/Door Lock with DDCB Interface
The Strata CTX supports up to eight DDCB door phone control
boxes. Each DDCB supports up to three MDFB door phones
which provides a total of up to 24 door phones (see Figure
12-15). Each DDCB can provide a door unlock control relay in
place of one of the door phones.

DDCB and MDFB Cabling
For DDCB and MDFB wiring/interconnecting details and door
lock control installation procedures and secondary protection
information, refer to Chapter 10 – MDF PCB Wiring. If using
24 AWG cable, the length of the cable run from the Strata CTX
to the MDFB (via the DDCB) must not exceed 1,000 feet (305
meters).

Peripheral Installation
Door Phone/Door Lock with DDCB Interface

Calling from a Door Phone
Each door phone has a push button that rings selected telephones with one of three unique bingbong sounds. The door phone’s location displays on ringing telephone LCDs. The three bing-bong
ring types are permanently assigned to each of the DDCB ports (A, B and C) as shown in Figure
12-16. Door phones can also be programmed to ring over the system’s external paging equipment.
When a telephone answers a door phone call, a two-way talk-path is established between the
calling door phone and the called telephone.

Calling a Door Phone
Each door phone has a unique number (#15XX, where “XX” = 01~24 max., depending on system
size) that can be dialed from system telephones. When a system telephone calls a door phone, the
door phone does not ring but provides a two-way talk-path between the calling telephone and the
called door phone. This enables telephone users to monitor sounds in the general area where the
door phone is installed.

Door Lock Control
As an option, Port B of the DDCB can be connected to a door lock control device, instead of a
door phone, to unlock a door. The door lock control device is not supplied by Toshiba and must be
ordered separately. The door lock option is a hardware jumper located on the DDCB. This option
provides relay contacts that will open, or close the Port B wire pair when a telephone’s door lock
button is pressed or when a door lock feature code is dialed from a telephone (see Figure 12-16 for
option settings).

Door Phone/Lock Programming
Door phone assignments are in Program 507 and door lock assignments are in Program 508.

DPFT connector J2), connect the DPFT to two 66-type quick-connect blocks.
3. Connect the CO lines selected for emergency use to the DPFT J1-block “CO-TIP” and “CORING” terminals.
4. Connect the RCOU, RCOS (or PCOU) circuits related to the emergency CO lines to the DPFT
J1-block “RCOU-TIP” and “RCOU-RING” terminals.
5. Connect the standard telephone stations selected for emergency use to the DPFT J2-block
“TEL-TIP” and “TEL-RING” terminals.
6. Connect the RSTU, RDSU/RSTS or PSTU standard telephone circuits related to the emergency
standard telephones to DPFT J2-block “PSTU/ RSTU-TIP” and “PSTU/RSTU-RING”
terminals.
7. Connect the DPFT to the RDSU/RSTU/PSTU DG and -24V terminals (See Chapter 10 – MDF
PCB Wiring for RSTU/PSTU and RCOU/PCOU wiring/interconnecting details). The -24V
(Pin 25) and DG (Pin 50) ground terminals are available on the RSTU2, RDSU, or PSTU only.

³ To test the operation of the DPFT
1. Turn the system power switch Off.
2. Verify that CO dial tone is available at each standard telephone connected to the DPFT.
3. Call back to each telephone using an outside line.

Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)

Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR)
For each incoming, outgoing, tandem or conference call, the Strata CTX can generate a record that
includes details of the call, including the originating station or trunk, the start time of the call, its
duration, authorization codes, etc. If a station user dials “911,” the Strata CTX also generates a
record at the beginning of the call as part of its internal notification that an emergency call is in
progress.
The BSIS optional PCB attaches to the ACTU of the CTX100 or the BECU of the CTX670 to
provide four RS-232 interface jacks (one for SMDR and one for SMDI). See Figures 12-6 and
12-7, starting on page 12-6 for connection information.

SMDR Record Types
Distinct records are generated for different types of calls. The table below lists the record types.
The type of each record is identified by a letter entry in the column of the record.
Table 12-1

Call Record Types

Record Type

Notes

B (aBandoned)

When a call is abandoned

N (Normal)

Simple outgoing or incoming call

S (Start)

Start of complex outgoing or incoming call or 911 call

X (transfer)

When a call is transferred

E (End)

This record is associated with a specific S or X records, and indicates
termination of a call

I (Initial)

When system is initialized

T (Time)

When the system time or date is changed

A (Authorization)

When the input Account Code is verified and the result is successful, the
Account Code is defined as the Authorization Code.

C (Charge Account)

When an Account Code is entered

M (Charge Conference)

When an Account Code is entered during a conference call

The use of multiple records allows the CTX to account for multi-stage calls such as transfers and
conferences. A simple outgoing or incoming call would generate a Normal record. A transferred
call would generate a Start record for the first segment of the call and an End record for the second
segment of the call. The appropriate times would be stored in each. A detailed description of
SMDR is provided in a separate manual.
Several fields in the record may displayed or masked based on system programming. They include
DISA security codes, authorization codes, ANI, DNIS and Caller ID.
The Strata CTX can buffer up to 1000 SMDR records in response to a loss of DTR signal from an
attached call accounting device or external buffer. When the buffer overflows, subsequent call
records will be lost until the buffer is cleared. The CTX buffer will be cleared by a system restart
or loss of system power.
