1.2.1.1 External Fuses
To protect the equipment against overload conditions, all power supplies on the MPS shelf include
circuit breakers. For additional protection, you can install slow-blow fuses or delay circuit breakers
external to the central station. The current ratings for these devices are given below:
Table 1.2 External Fuse Ratings
1.2.2 Rack Types and Dimensions
To house the central station assemblies, SR Telecom offers self-support or top-support relay racks of
varying heights. The other dimensions of the racks remain constant:
SR Telecom also offers several types of enclosures for indoor or outdoor installations. They are
available in various colours and heights, and some already include the 19"-wide rack.

1.3 Optional Terminal Panels
The terminal panels interconnect the central station and the central office. The insulation displacement
connector (IDC) terminals are used to make 2-wire, 4-wire and alarm connections. Additionally, the top
terminal panel provides two barrier strips for connecting two separate power sources to the central
station's power system.
The terminal panels can be mounted either at the top of the rack(s) or on a wall near the rack. One
terminal panel per line shelf or per VF/data shelf is needed.
Instead of making the VF connections on the terminal panels, you can make them directly on the back
of the line shelves using 25-pair communication cables.
Data connections are made via data cables terminated with DB25 connectors. Digital connections are
made via coaxial cables terminated with BNC connectors.

1.4 Modular Power System (MPS)
The MPS shelf holds the modules that power different parts of the central station. The MPS shelf has
10 plug-in positions that, depending on the configuration of the station, may contain one or more of
these modules:
Transceiver Power Supply
Controller Power Supply
Test & Alarm Module
Circuit Breaker
All MPS assemblies are modular and accessible from the front of the shelf. Customer connections can
be made directly on the back of the shelf or on the top terminal panel.
The MPS has two inputs for connecting two -24 VDC or two -48 VDC power sources. In addition, the
MPS must include a second circuit breaker assembly.

1.4.1 MPS Modules
The MPS modules shown in Figure 1.4 on page 16 are as follows:
Transceiver Power Supply (1 & 2)Powers transceivers or network extender modules (NEM).
Available in -24 VDC and -48 VDC models.
Controller Power Supply (4 & 5)Powers the plug-in modules in the following shelves: control,
interrack buffer, line, data and UDI. It also implements and controls the +5 V remote sense feature.
Available in -24 VDC and -48 VDC models. A central station needs at least two controller power
supplies when it includes a UDI shelf or supports more than four line or data shelves.
Test & Alarm Module (8)Provides test points to measure the voltages generated by the power
supplies and the power sources, and to monitor the ringing clock generated by the talk battery & ringing
supply. The alarm cut-off (PS ACO) push button on its faceplate serves to cut off the power supply
alarm.
Circuit Breaker (9 & 10)Acts as the main circuit breaker for DC power sources. Two options are
available: -24 VDC and -48 VDC. One circuit breaker per DC power source is required.
! You can equip auxiliary power supplies in positions 3, 6 and 7, however, they are not normally
used.

1.5 Outbound Transceiver Shelf
This shelf houses one or two outbound transceivers or one or two network extender modules (NEM).
Two transceivers or NEMs are needed for full standby protection. The two assemblies are connected to
the antenna or to fibre-optic, coaxial, or twisted-pair cable through a protection switch. Other types of
RF couplers, like splitter/combiners and 4-port hybrids, are also available for use with outbound
transceivers.
1.5.1 Outbound Transceiver
An outbound transceiver, operating in a frequency band anywhere from 1.3 to 2.7 GHz, consists of a
transmitter, a receiver, and a PA/duplexer, interconnected through short semi-rigid cables.
1.5.2 Antenna Port
This port consists of a female N-type connector that terminates the RF transmission line directly, or
indirectly through a flexible jumper cable. The port is located on the back of the outbound transceiver
shelf and connects to the PA/duplexer assembly via a semi-rigid cable. In the case of protected
transceivers, the port connects to an RF switch or coupler.

1.6.1 Optional Echo Canceller
The echo canceller (EC) module is an SR500 system option which corrects any problems related to
unwanted echo on VF voice and data lines. It also recognizes data signalling tones, and flags the
wireless loop subsystem to switch to a higher speed PCM mode.
The echo canceller module is installed in the Central Station system control shelf. The central station
interactive menus software provides commands that enable you to activate and enable the echo
canceller module.
For further information on echo cancellation, refer to the .

1.8 Interface Modules
The SR500 system uses one VF or data interface module at the central station, and another at a remote
station for each VF or data line on the system. System VF or data lines are assigned to interface module
circuits through the dynamic line addressing feature of the SR500 system. For more details on this
feature and how to set it up, refer to the .
VF modules provide the following VF services:
2-wire
4-wire
Multi-Service Modules (MSMs) provide eight 2-wire circuits that can be individually programmed to
interface either a VF or prepay (12 or 16 kHz) line. INSIGHT NMS or SR500 interactive menus,
accessible from the local or remote video display terminal, are used for programming. The MSM
can be plugged into any line or line/data shelf.
Data modules provide synchronous and asynchronous data transmission.
1.8.1 Options of Network Interface Modules
Different options of the same type of interface module are available (for example, A-law or -law as the
codec's companding law). Fixed settings are selected at the factory using a combination of discrete
components and jumpers. Variable settings are also factory set, but can be altered in the field using
jumpers, DIP switches, or the software.
An option number sticker (OPT xxxx) on a module identifies its fixed settings. Variable settings, on the
other hand, have to be checked individually at installation of the module.
1.8.2 Jacks for Monitoring VF Signals
Bantam jacks on the front edge of line interface modules are used to monitor VF signals from the
telephone switching equipment (LINE) or the SR500 equipment (EQPT). In the case of 4-wire modules,
the E&M signalling can also be monitored. The following figure shows the set of Bantam jacks
associated with each VF line.

1.9 UDI Shelf
The universal digital interface (UDI) provides a physical and signalling interface between the SR500
system and any digital exchange. Handling all voice traffic in digital form, the UDI eliminates the need
for digital-to-analogue conversion, and vice versa. The UDI:
Supports 60 subscriber connections per UDI module.
Handles channel associated signalling (CAS) and common channel signalling (CCS) protocols.
(Actual protocols depend on the proprietary signalling protocol software used.)
Through masking, allows digital groups to be identified as unavailable sources for the system
reference clock.
May be connected with either a BNC interconnect card.
Provides two status LEDs for each digital group.
Provides a DB25 connector for a diagnostic terminal to monitor or simulate traffic on any selected
subscriber line.
Provides protected test points to monitor both transmit and receive signals.
Provides a modular RJ-12 jack to monitor the audio level of the transmit and receive signals of each
digital group. A potentiometer adjusts the audio level.
1.9.1 UDI Capacity
Each UDI module supports two digital groups, which translates into 60 subscriber lines per module.
Two UDI shelves, each with 16 modules, provides a total system capacity of 1920 subscriber lines.
Table 1.4 Capacity per UDI module and per shelf
These lines can provide 2-wire, 4-wire, payphone or G.703 (64 kbps) services.

1.9.4 Options
The UDI offers several options:
Interface with digital exchange E1unbalanced (75-#) or balanced (120-#)
Multiframe alignment error checkingusing the CRC-4 algorithm, as defined by the G.706
recommendation
External reference clock sourcecan be E1 unbalanced (75-#) or balanced (120-#),
unbalanced TTL/CMOS signal or balanced RS-422 signal
System synchronisationthe UDI may operate in either a master synchronization or slave
synchronization
In either case, the UDI system may have more than one possible source of synchronisation, but will use
only one source at a time. If the current source becomes unreliable (for example, receive alarms, high
BER) the system will choose another.

1.11 Peripherals
You can use a local or remote video display terminal (VDT) and dot-matrix printer or PC compatible
workstation to interact with the SR500 system. Through the VDT or workstation, you can access
INSIGHT NMS or the SR500 interactive menus. The printer provides status reports on in-service loop or
BER tests, call statistics, and overall system performance.
1.11.1 Video Display Terminals (VDTs)
The VDT must be compatible with a digital VT220, like the WYSE WY-185ES terminal, which SR
Telecom can optionally supply.
The local VDT can be located 16 m (50 ft.) from the central station and connects directly to serial port
J9 on the back of the system control shelf.
The remote VDT can be located anywhere in the telecommunication network and connects to the
central station via a pair of asynchronous modems. The modem at the central station site connects to
serial port J77.
1.11.2 Dot-Matrix Printer
Any dot-matrix printer with an RS-232C/V.24-compatible serial port can be connected to serial port J8
and can be located 16 m (50 ft.) from the central station.
1.11.3 Modem
An external modem may be used at the central station.

1.12 Protected Central Station
A protected central station has extra equipment to carry the load if the main equipment fails. In addition
to the standard equipment, located on Side A (the left-hand side), a protected central station includes
the following auxiliary components on the right:
Standby system control shelf equipment (CPU, timing, muldex, and framing modules).
A second outbound transceiver.
Additional modular power supplies.
Standby intracall and CQT modules (if these options are used).
In a protected central station, the basic and optional modules are duplicated, with the exception of the
display/arbitrator and orderwire modules.
1.13 Dual-Rack Configuration
When an auxiliary rack is used, it should be installed next to the main rack to facilitate interconnections
and minimise propagation delays.
The main rack houses the basic equipment, the first three line/data shelves, and the first two IDC
terminal panels. The auxiliary rack accommodates the remaining line shelves and terminal panels.
The Central Station interrack buffer module buffers signals and interconnects the equipment on both
racks. Twenty-five pair communication cables, terminated at both ends by 50-pin Amphenol connectors,
interconnect the line shelves and the terminal panels.
In this configuration, only 2-wire, 4-wire and prepay modules can be installed on the auxiliary central
station rack.
1.13.1 Auxiliary Racks without Line Modules
When the second rack is not equipped with any line interface modules, you should disconnect the
Central Station interrack buffer module on the first (main) rack. This will prevent communication errors
that may occur because there is no load at the output of the second Central Station interrack buffer
module. To do so, pull out the Central Station interrack buffer module on the main central station rack, to
disconnect it from the backplane. You do not need to remove it completely.

2.1 Commissioning an SR500 System
Familiarize yourself with the system layout as early as possible in order to prepare the site and to
plan your work.
Install the antennas and transmission lines. All antenna supports must have a ground cable of
stranded, bare copper wire, which must run the full length of the structure. Steel tower ground cable
must be at least 1 cm (no. 00 AWG) and located 30 cm (12 in.) from the transmission line. It must
be tied to the tower at regular intervals
Wooden pole ground cable must be at least 0.4 cm (no. 6 AWG), and located on the opposite side
of the pole. Connect the grounding cable to the highest point of the pole or tower (for example, the
metal pipe supporting the antenna or, preferably, a lightning rod), and to the station ground at
ground level. The ground resistance must be less than or equal to 10 # throughout the year.
The transmission line must be grounded at the top and bottom of the pole or tower with a
transmission line grounding kit. The braid of each grounding kit must be attached to the grounding
cable with a suitable clamp. If the shelter housing the SR500 Central Station is more than 5 m (17
ft.) from the base of the tower or pole, an additional grounding kit at the point where the
transmission line enters the shelter is recommended.
Install the central station.
Select the path whose equipment will be the first to be installed and commissioned. If the path
includes repeaters, install them first and then install the outstations.

2.2 Precautions
A- Set the circuit breaker or switches on the faceplate of the power supplies to the OFF position
before removing or replacing a module, a cable, a transceiver or a network extender module. The
only equipment that may be removed while the station is powered up are line and data modules.
Apply power to the station only when all modules are correctly installed and the antenna is
connected.
B - Always discharge your body of static electricity before handling any printed circuit board. Do this
by touching any unpainted part of the equipment or ground yourself using an electrostatic discharge
wrist band.
C - Keep printed circuit board in antistatic bags when not in use.
D - When removing a module, first disengage it from the backplanes connector by opening the
ejector tabs.
E - Exercise extra care when inserting a module so as not to bend the backplane connector pins.

2.3 Preparing the Installation Site
Before unpacking any equipment, verify that all boxes and crates listed on the shipping papers have
been delivered to the installation site, and that they are not damaged. Ask the carrier to document any
damage to crates or boxes on the shipping papers. This is necessary in the event that any equipment in
the box(es) or the crate(s) is damaged as well.
Also verify that:
1. All tools and accessories required to install the central station are on hand.
2. There is sufficient space for the installation of the rack(s), local video display terminal,
asynchronous modem, and dot-matrix printer. Also, ensure that the space is clear of obstructions.
3. The power source is properly installed and delivers adequate power.
4. AC outlets are available for connecting the local video display terminal, the asynchronous modem,
and the dot-matrix printer.
5. A suitable grounding point (for example, station ground) is available. The ground resistance of the
station ground must be less than or equal to 10 # throughout the year. Use an ohmmeter to
check the ground resistance.
6. Antenna and transmission line must be installed according to the manufacturers instructions.
Connectors exposed to inclement weather must be sealed with sealant tape and electrical tape.
7. Ensure that the all power feed wires meet applicable local electrical standards. If no local standards
exist, Canadian electrical standards can be used.

2.5 Unpacking the Central Station
Each rack of the central station is shipped in a wooden crate, which must always remain lying down
with the red arrows painted on its sides pointing upward. To open this crate and remove the rack,
refer to Figure 2.7 on page 56 (without rack enclosure) or Figure 2.8 on page 57 (with rack enclosure)
and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the double-headed nails that protrude from the lower sides of the crate's cover.
2. With someone's help, lift the crate's cover from its base.
3. Remove any loose items (cables, mounting hardware, etc.).
4. Unscrew the four nuts (two on each bracket) that secure the shipping brackets to the crate's base.
! If the central station was ordered with a rack enclosure Figure 2.7 on page 56, you will find
plastic straps securing it to the base of the crate instead of shipping brackets. Cut and
remove these straps; then, remove the plastic bubble wrapping. Omit step 6 below.
5. With someone's help, lift the high-capacity central station from the crate's base and place it upright.
6. Unscrew the bolts on the shipping brackets and remove.
7. You may remove the plastic bag protecting the central station. However, it is recommended that you
do this once you have moved the central station to its final location and marked the holes for
anchoring, see .

2.6 Inspecting the Central Station
Before anchoring the central station, always inspect it for damage or loose connections. Also, verify that
all plug-in assemblies, including modules, are fully inserted into their positions.
" Discharge yourself of any static electricity by touching a suitable grounding point (for example,
station ground), or use an electrostatic discharge wrist strap to ground yourself before handling
the equipment, especially printed circuit boards.
If equipment was damaged during transport, notify the carrier and SR Telecom. SR Telecom's outlines
the steps to be taken when a customer receives damaged equipment or when equipment fails during or
after the warranty period.
2.7 Verifying Outbound Transceiver Frequencies
The transmit and receive frequencies of the outbound transceiver are printed on foil stickers on the
modules faceplate. The TX-RX channel separation is given on a sticker located on the receivers
faceplate.
On a protected central station, the frequencies of both outbound transceivers must be identical.
The outbound transceivers use a synthesised frequency source, which permits the transmit and receive
frequencies to be chosen using five decade switches.

2.8 Verifying Line and Data Shelf Addresses
Each half of a line or data shelf has an address which is selected using the 16-position, address
selector switch on the front edge of the Central Station line shelf interface module. This address
indicates the range of line addresses assigned to that half of the shelf. For example, address 0
corresponds to line addresses 1 to 64; address 1 to line addresses 65 to 128; etc.
Before leaving the factory, the shelf addresses are set as per Table 2.1 shown below. During
installation, it is important to verify that no shelf address is duplicated.

Chapter 3 Installation
3.1 Anchoring the Central Station
To anchor the rack or racks, use the mounting hardware provided by SR Telecom, and
proceed as follows:
1. Move the central station to its final location.
2. With a marker, indicate on the floor the location of the holes on the base of the
rack. Self-supporting racks have four holes; top-supporting racks have two holes.
3. Move the rack away and, at the markings, drill holes. Insert a galvanised lag into
each hole.
4. Move the rack back into position and affix it to the floor using screws.
5. Using the J-like bolts, affix the top of the rack to the support above the rack.
If applicable, repeat these steps for the second rack. The second rack must be
installed next to the first one, as close as possible.

3.2 Grounding the Central Station
Ground each rack of the central station to a station ground whose resistance is less than or equal to
10 # throughout the year. Use a #6 AWG bare copper wire, or larger, terminated with a 6.4 mm (
in.) ground lug. Take the most direct path when routing the ground cable from the rack to the station
ground.
As shown in Figure 3.2 on page 71, the rack's grounding post is located at the back of the rack, near the
top of the left rack post.

3.3 Connecting a DC Power Source
1. Check that the voltage option on each MPS module matches the available input voltage at the site.
Both power sources must deliver the same type and level of voltage.
Table 3.1 Input Voltage Settings
2. Set the circuit breaker on the faceplate of each assembly to OFF (for example, lever facing
downward). Do not set them to ON until you power up the central station.
3. Ensure that all power sources are OFF.
4. To ground the DC power source, place a jumper wire between the positive terminal and the ground
terminal. If the DC power source is already connected to ground, remove the jumper wire, if any,
between the positive terminal and the ground terminal.
5. Using #10 to #12 AWG stranded copper wire, connect the power source to the barrier strip on the
top terminal panel. If the rack is not equipped with terminal panels, make the connection to the back
of the MPS shelf.
6. For a protected central station, connect the second power source, via the second barrier strip on
the back of the MPS, or the front of the IDC terminal panel. When the station uses wirewrap
terminal panels, connect the second power source to the barrier strip on the second terminal panel.

3.7 Connecting the Local VDT
The local terminal must be a digital VT220, or one that operates like a digital VT220. It must be located
within 16 m (50 ft.) of the central station. (SR Telecom can optionally supply WYSEs WY-185ES, which
operates like the digital VT220.)
Connect the VDT to serial port J9 on the system control shelf, using a data cable terminated by a DB25
connector. Apply power to the VDT and set it up for VT220 emulation. The VDT should be configured
to match these default characteristics:
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Word length: 8 bits
Transmit baud rate: 4800 bps
! Configure your peripheral to match the SR500 system, rather than changing the system to
match the peripheral.
For complete details on VDT setup, see the .
3.7.1 Changing Default Characteristics for the VDT
If it is impossible to configure the VDT to the above characteristics, use SW1 on the CS CPU, shown in
Figure 3.8 on page 79, to change the default characteristics.

Chapter 4 UDI Installation
This chapter covers connections and considerations for the central station UDI shelf.
The UDI consists of three basic hardware components:
UDI modules
UDI Controller modules
Interconnect cards, located on the backplane
! Although the central station can accommodate a second UDI shelf, the central
station software supports only a single shelf configuration.

4.1 UDI Modules
The UDI modules are located in a shelf on the central station's rack. A single shelf can accommodate up
to 16 UDI modules each supporting two E1 (2048 kps) groups. However, in E1 mode, only 60 of the 64
lines are used.
4.1.1 UDI Controllers
Two of the eighteen available slots on a UDI shelf are used for controller modules. The two controllers
are used to drive up to eight UDI modules each. The addressing of modules and controllers is described
inTable 4.4 on page 101.
The central station interactive menus software supports UDI. The UDI can handle several services: 2-
wire, 4-wire, payphone and G.703 (64 kbps).

4.1.2 UDI Interconnect Cards
There are two types of UDI interconnect cards:
BNC interconnect card, used for 75-# unbalanced BNC connectors.
DIN interconnect card, used for 120-# balanced DIN connectors.
For UDI installation information, see Chapter 4, UDI Installation. For UDI pin assignments, see
Section 6.4.1 UDI 64-Pin DIN Connectors on page 138.
4.1.3 Power Requirements
Power consumption of the UDI shelf is 2 W. To support the UDI, the central station must have a modular
power system (MPS) equipped with at least two controller power supplies (or three for protection).

4.2 External Reference Clock
In slave mode, the UDI may be synchronised to an external reference clock running at 2048 kHz (E1).
Data is exchanged more reliably when an external clock is used.
A wide range of external clocks are supported. You may select terminating impedances between 75 and
120 # for E1, or 100 # for T1. An external clock must provide a non-return zero (NRZ) clock signal and
compatible to TTL or RS-422 standard.

4.3 Connecting the External Reference Clock
An external reference clock can be connected using one of three connectors (see Figure 4.2 on
page 94).
" Do not connect external signal to more than one connector at a time. Ensure that the applied
signals are as specified in Table 4.1 on page 92; higher level could cause damage, and lower
level would be functionally inappropriate.
As indicated in Table 4.2, the characteristics of these interfaces vary to meet customer requirements.

4.4 Configuring the External Clock
The jumpers on the central station arbitrator card 512781 used to configure the SR500 system for the
external reference clock are JP1, JP2, JP3, JP5 and JP13. However, SR500 systems running system
software 7.0 or higher are configured through software. You do not need to change the jumper settings.
For details on the display/arbitrator module, refer to the manual .
4.4.1 Digital Line Shield Grounding (JP5)
If signal shielding is needed, JP5 may be optionally installed on the arbitrator card.
RS-422 does not require a signal ground because it is differential by definition. Do not ground both ends
of the shield as this could cause a noise problem.

4.4.2 System Reference Source
In slave synchronisation mode, the SR500 system can be synchronised to either an external reference
clock or to the network clock recovered from one of the UDI modules.
When the network clock is used, the source can be either:
Automatic (for example, the central station CPU looks for an available UDI group and uses it to
provide the system reference clock.) If the selected group goes into alarm, the CPU automatically
selects another available group.
Fixed (for example, the user selects a UDI group to be used as the reference source at all times,
regardless of any alarm).
You can mask certain digital groups, making them unavailable reference clock sources.
To determine the current system reference source, refer to or .
4.5 Connecting the UDI Shelf & Digital Exchange
The UDI shelf and the digital exchange are connected using the interconnect card at the rear of the
shelf.
4.5.1 64-Pin DIN Interconnect Card
Figure 4.4 on page 98 shows a UDI shelf with balanced 64-pin DIN connectors. Each connector
provides a row of 32 transmit and 32 receive pins. The upper section of the interconnect card serves
digital group 1, while the lower section serves digital group 2. The DIN connectors are inserted into the
64-pin connectors, which are then inserted into the interconnect card. Each pair of connectors serves
up to four UDI modules.
Pin assignments for the 64-in DIN card are given in Section 6.4.1 UDI 64-Pin DIN Connectors on
page 138.

Chapter 5 Power-Up
This chapter provides detailed information for powering up the central station and
testing to ensure the equipment is functioning correctly.
5.1 Making Some Final Checks
Before powering up the central station, verify that:
Plug-in modules are fully inserted into their slots.
Cables, including the RF transmission line, are securely connected.
Input power connections are correctly made (for example, the positive and
negative wires are connected to the corresponding terminals on the barrier strips).
Input voltage is between -24 VDC or -48 VDC, depending on option.
All connections are tight.
The local video display terminal is connected to serial port J9, powered up, and
correctly set up for the VT220 emulation.
Ensure that the all power feed wires meet applicable local electrical standards. If
no local standards exist, Canadian electrical standards can be used.
If the central station comprises two racks, verify that the remote-sense cable is
connected to the line shelf farthest from the MPS shelf.
5.2 Powering Up the Central Station
1. Switch ON the DC power source(s).
2. Apply power to the central station by setting the circuit breaker of each power
supply to ON (lever pointing upward). Do this in the following order:
Transceiver power supply(ies)

5.5 Line-up Procedures for the UDI
The line-up procedure allows you to exercise all interface modules and replace faulty modules, if
necessary.
The line-up procedure should be performed immediately following installation and power-up of the
central station and all remote stations and before subscribers are connected to the system. To ensure
full integration between the SR500 system and the digital exchange, complete an incoming and an
outgoing call on each line.
If you are able to complete each call, then integration is successful; otherwise, it is recommended that
you perform the following optional line-up procedure.
5.5.1 Detailed Line-up Procedure
To execute this line-up procedure, you will need
A traffic simulator.
At least 30 test telephone numbers.
A telephone exchange operator.
The traffic simulator must be connected to one or more line interface modules, located at a remote
station and set up according to the parameters determined by the user. Figure 5.4 on page 112 shows
how to interconnect the digital exchange, the SR500 system and the traffic simulator.

5.5.2 Performance Objectives
The system under test must meet the following objectives:
Table 5.1 Performance Objectives for a 30-Line Digital Group
! If the traffic simulator cannot generate 45 calls per minute over a group of 30 subscribers, then
the call rate may be lowered. The line-up procedure will take longer to perform.
5.5.3 What do you do if the Line-up Procedure Fails?
If a group fails to meet the established objectives, you will want to determine how and where errors are
occurring. Generally, errors will be
Concentrated on a single line or selected group of lines.
Distributed evenly among all 30 subscribers of a group.
If calls are concentrated in one area and the central station is equipped with the optional CQT module,
run a CQT to determine where errors are occurring. Once the error has been located, replace the
corresponding line module at the remote station. Repeat the line-up procedure.
If errors are evenly distributed, replace the UDI module at the central station. Repeat the line-up
procedure.
! SR Telecom will replace, free of charge, a faulty module or any other equipment that fails within
the warranty period. For more information, see the .

5.6 UDI Testing
Four types of tests can be carried out on the UDI: continuous quality testing via the interactive menus,
audio monitoring, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and automated line testing.
5.6.1 Continuous Quality Testing
Continuous quality testing via the interactive menus allows you to perform multihop testing on the digital
link between the central station and one or all remote stations. The CQT verifies the link, including each
of its hops, by transmitting and receiving a bit pattern over one of the 64 kbps trunks.
For further information, consult the or .
! To perform the CQT, the central station must be equipped with the CS continuous quality tester
module.
5.6.2 Audio Monitoring
Audio monitoring allows you to monitor the audio content of a chosen digital group. To do this, connect a
lineman's telephone set to the modular RJ-12 jack provided on the associated UDI module controller.
By default, there is no monitoring point assigned. To assign a monitoring point, to reassign it to another
digital group, or to cancel the assignment, consult or .
5.6.3 Measuring VF Levels
If there is a problem with VF levels, a transmission measurement set may be used to test system
performance.
Figure 5.5 on page 115 shows the VF levels for digital lines. The following Table 5.2 on page 115 gives
the test tone levels. Note that while these values are typical, variations are possible.

5.6.4 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
The UDI module can run a CRC-4 algorithm to check the data stream for multiframe alignment errors.
Use DIP switch SW5 on the UDI module, as shown:
Table 5.3 SW5 Positions
To enable or disable CRC, consult or , error monitoring for one or more digital groups. Once the CRC is
enabled, you can check for multiframe alignment errors for a selected digital group. To perform this
check, specify the desired range of digital groups.
The software setting will override any setting made on the actual module.
5.6.5 Automated Line Testing
Certain signalling protocols require that lines be tested automatically by the UDI. The tests measure
four criteria: maximum DC voltage, maximum AC voltage, minimum resistance and maximum
capacitance.
Automated line testing cannot be disabled or enabled by the user. You can, however, determine the
pass or fail values for two of the four criteria listed above.

Chapter 6 Making Subscriber Connections
6.1 VF Connections
Depending on how the central station is equipped, VF connections are made using:
50-pin RJ-21X (amphenol) connectors
IDC terminal panels
wirewrap terminal panels
" The a (tip) connection is positive (+). The b (ring) connection is negative (-).
You must respect these polarities in the CS and outstations 2-wire connections
for proper payphone functionality.
6.1.1 VF Connections via the RJ-21X Connectors
The RJ-21X connectors are located on the back of the interface shelves. The line shelf
has six such connectors; the VF/data shelf has only three. Each of these connectors is
associated with three slots on the shelf. For example, connector J8 is associated with
the first three slots, J9 with the next three, and so on.
You connect the 25-pair communication cables to these connectors and then route the
cables to the central office.

6.1.2 VF Connections via IDC Terminal Panels
If the central station is equipped with IDC terminal panels, all VF connections between the central
station and the central office are made on the panels. One terminal panel is required per interface shelf.
When connecting to the IDC terminal panels, the cables should not be terminated; the tips of the
stranded wires should not be stripped.
One IDC contact can terminate up to two #22 to 26 AWG wires, or one #20 or 21 AWG wire.
Table 6.1 on page 120 identifies which pins on these blocks carry the VF signals of the subscriber lines.

6.2 VF Connections via Wirewrap Terminal Panels
If your central station has wirewrap terminal panels, all VF connections between the central station and
the MDF are made on these panels. One wirewrap terminal panel is required per line shelf or line/data
shelf.
Access to the wirewrap terminals is at the back of the central station. The recommended size of wire
that can be terminated at the wirewrap terminals is 0.5 mm (24 AWG).
As shown in Figure 6.3, each wirewrap terminal panel has five terminal blocks, TB1 to TB5. Each
terminal block is made up of 60 pins arranged in six rows (labelled A through F) by ten columns
(labelled 1 through 10). Each pin is identified via its coordinates, A1, A2 etc. To determine to which pins
VF lines are connected, see Table 6.2 on page 122.

6.3 Data Connections
Connections between the central station and data terminal equipment (DTE) are made via data cables
terminated at both ends by DB25S connectors.
The line and data shelves provide a female DB25S connector for each data circuit the shelf can support.
A line shelf has two connectors since it can only support two data circuits; a line/data shelf has 18
connectors; and a data shelf has 32 connectors.

6.5 Extending Alarms
Using the alarm cut-off (ACO) card or terminal panels, you can extend the following alarms to a remote
monitoring centre:
Remote Station Line Alarm (OS LINE ALARM)A remote station VF or data module has been
removed or has failed.
Remote Station Major Alarm (OS MAJOR)A remote station is not responding to polling from
the central station, or the remote stations standby equipment is in alarm.
Central Station Major Alarm (CS ALM)The central station and remote stations are not
communicating, or the central stations standby equipment or MSU is in alarm.
All-Trunks-Busy Alarm (ATB ALM)All 60 trunks are in use.
CS LINE ALARMA central station VF or data module has been removed or has failed.
PWR ALM OS EXT ALMA remote station has lost its primary power source (for example, AC) or
is reporting an external alarm.
The relays each provide three contactsCOM (common), NO (normally open) and NC (normally
closed)to terminate the wires coming from the remote alarm-monitoring centre. Contacts NO and NC
can withstand a maximum current of 1 A.
6.5.1 Extending MPS Alarms
The MPS summed alarm (PS fail) alerts the user to any failed power supply modules. You can extend
this alarm to a remote alarm-monitoring centre using the wirewrap or IDC terminal panel, or an MPS
shelf connector.
Figure 6.7 on page 148 shows connections made directly from connector J43 on the back of the MPS
shelf. Note that contacts NO and NC can withstand a maximum current of 1 A.

7.1 Operating Parameters
Immediately after power-up, you should set the system parameters, including line addresses and polling
range. For more information, refer to or .
7.2 About Line Addresses
At the central station, subscriber lines are assigned addresses based on the line interface module to
which they are connected. The remote station, and line shelf also form part of the address.
Every slot on a line or VF/data shelf is pre-assigned eight line addresses. For example, the first slot of
line shelf 1 is used for line addresses 1 to 8; the second slot for addresses 9 to 16; and so on.
" When addressing UDI modules and line modules, an address may be used only once. For
example, if the addresses in Table 4.4 on page 101 are used for UDI modules, line. Similarly,
each decade switch combination may be used only once throughout the system.
The type of service an interface module supports determines how many of the eight addresses will
actually be used. A 2-wire or payphone module will use all eight addresses available to the slot. On the
other hand, a 4-wire or data module will use only the first two addresses of the slot (the remaining six
addresses cannot be used).
The Table 7.1 on page 155 on the following pages lists line addresses for the eight possible shelves that
can be installed on a central station.
! The base line address is a number assigned to each half shelf. It is set on the line shelf
interface module.

7.6 Initiating the Graceful Shutdown Mode
Graceful shutdown mode allows you to shut down the central station without terminating any ongoing
calls. When you invoke this mode, the CS controller maintains all calls in progress, but refuses all
subsequent requests for a trunk.
Since they are processed locally by the remote station, intracalls are not affected by the graceful
shutdown mode. Furthermore, because of the signalling channel, remote stations can still establish
intracalls while the central station is out of service.
To initiate the graceful shutdown mode, refer to Figure 7.4 on page 166 and proceed as follows:
1. In INSIGHT NMS, set the SR Telecom SR500 administrative state to shutting down. In the
interactive menus root menu press y u.
2. At the central station, raise the display panel of the system control shelf and locate the system-
blocked switch on the display/arbitrator module.
3. Place the system-blocked switch in the left-most position. The yellow BLKD LED on the display
panel will start flashing and the 6-digit display should show the number of trunks currently in use.
When this number reaches zero (00), switch off the central station and perform the necessary
maintenance.
! The trunk-in-use count will not reach zero when trunks are dedicated to subscriber lines.

7.7 Switching to the CS Standby Equipment
On a protected central station, the display/arbitrator module is responsible for switching operations from
the main to the standby equipment of the central station. The module automatically switches operations
when the
Active transceiver reports an alarm to its computer.
Active controller module fails.
The active transceiver power supply fails.
Super users and system administrators can also initiate a switch of operations using the interactive
menus.
A switch in equipment will cause any calls in progress to be disrupted. The length of the disruption
depends on the mode of standby protection: hot standby or monitored hot-standby. A voluntary switch,
therefore, should be made only when no calls are in progress.
7.8 Restoring the Default System Parameters
Super users and system administrators can restore the initial (or default) system parameters by erasing
the contents of the nonvolatile RAM aboard the CS CPU module. This RAM stores user-set parameters
such as line addresses, external-alarm messages, and line attributes.
The intracall directories are stored on the CS intracall module and, thus, are not affected.

7.9 Using the Orderwire Option
The orderwire option is a voice communication and signalling device for installation and maintenance
personnel. Orderwire is available to all stations in an SR500 system whose central station is equipped
with an orderwire module.
An optional speakerphone or linemans telephone set is used with orderwire. Table 7.7 shows the
orderwire codes for calls to remote stations or subscriber lines.
Table 7.7 Dialling Codes for Orderwire
Code Function
xxx Calls a specific remote station. The 3-digit code represents the address of the
remote station. For example, to call a remote station that has been assigned
address 2, dial 002.
*0 Broadcasts to all stations. Personnel at any remote station can respond. However,
once a station responds to the broadcast, no other station can respond.
9 Permits a call to be made to a subscriber line. After dialling this code, simply dial the
number of the external line.

7.9.3 Placing a Call via the Speakerphone
1. Press the speakerphone's ON/OFF button. You should hear dial tone.
2. Dial the address of the remote station or a code. You will hear ringback tone if you called another
line. If you selected the broadcast code, voice your message.
3. Wait for the called party to answer.
4. Technicians at a remote station can respond to your broadcast by activating the hook switch on
their lineman's telephone handsets. Note that only one technician can answer a broadcast at any
one time.
5. Following your conversation, switch the speakerphone OFF by pressing the speakerphone's
ON/OFF button.
7.9.4 Placing a Call via a Lineman's Handset
You can use a lineman's telephone handset to place or receive your orderwire calls. If the central station
is equipped with the optional speakerphone, connect the telephone or handset to either a modular
RJ-12 jack or a bantam jack on the speakerphone faceplate. Alternatively, you can connect the
telephone or handset to the RJ-12 jack, identified as ORDERWIRE, on the back of the system control
shelf.
When connected to the RJ-12 jack, the telephone or the handset becomes the user interface and,
consequently, disables the speakerphone. (This does not apply when the handset is connected to the
bantam jack.)

7.10 BER and Loop Tests
In-service BER tests and loop tests are forms of preventive maintenance. The BER test verifies the
quality of the radio link between the central station and one or more remote stations. While verifying the
link, the test also exercises the antenna, the transmission line, the transceivers, and the control
modules. Note that synchronous data has its own BER test.
The loop test verifies the integrity of 2-wire copper loops. It measures AC and DC voltages, and checks
for short circuits in the AC and DC paths.
For complete details on running these tests, refer to the or .

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
Alarms are reported at the central station by a combination of alarm relays, LEDs, and
interactive menus. These alarms can originate either at the central station itself or at
remote stations.
When an alarm occurs, you must first determine from which station the alarm
originated. Second, you must determine whether the alarm affects the entire system
(major alarm) or just part of the system (minor alarm). The relays and LEDs tell you
the nature and the gravity of the alarm; the menus tell you exactly which stations and
lines are affected.
If the source of an alarm cannot be located, call the Technical Services Department of
SR Telecom for assistance.

8.1 Replacing a faulty module
1. Touch an unpainted part of the rack, or ground yourself using an electrostatic wrist strap.
2. If you are replacing a transceiver or a power supply, switch OFF the power supply or transceiver
power supply.
3. Remove any retaining screws. Disconnect any semi-rigid cables. Disengage any ejector tabs and
pull the module out.
4. Note the part number silk-screened on the module, and the option number on its sticker (for
example, OPT 530000). The option number documents the fixed settings of the module.
5. Place the faulty module in an antistatic bag and return it to SR Telecom. If antistatic bags are not
available, use household aluminium foil.
6. Remove the replacement module from its antistatic bag and verify that it has the same part number
and option number as the faulty assembly. Ensure that all jumpers and DIP switches are set
correctly.
7. Insert the assembly, taking care not to bend the backplane connector pins. If necessary, connect
the semi-rigid cables.
8. Apply power to the assembly and verify that the LEDs are normal.

8.4 UDI Module LEDs
To simplify Table 8.5 as much as possible, the state of flashing LEDs is described as intermittent
(occasionally interrupted LED), flashing (200 milliseconds ON and 200 milliseconds OFF), fast
flashing (100 milliseconds ON and 100 milliseconds OFF) or very fast flashing (50 milliseconds ON
and 50 milliseconds OFF).
Table 8.5 UDI Module LEDs
OFF The power source is not
supplying the required input

8.6 On-Screen Alarm Indicators
When the SR500 Central Station detects an alarm, both INSIGHT NMS and the interactive menus will
provide on-screen indicators.
8.6.1 INSIGHT NMS
INSIGHT NMS will notify you of an alarm by flashing icons in the Explorer window. Table 8.7 describes
the three alarm icons that may appear.
Table 8.7 INSIGHT NMS Icons
! These notifications will only appear if the alarm occurs while you are logged on to INSIGHT
NMS.
If any of these notifications appear, review the alarm history in INSIGHT NMS and take the necessary
action.
For more information, consult .
8.6.2 Interactive Menus
The interactive menus insert an asterisk (*) in front of the system time to inform you of an alarm
condition. An asterisk immediately to the left of the time indicates that the standby equipment at the
central station is in alarm. An asterisk two positions left of the time indicates that a flash memory card is
in alarm. For more information about the alarm, enter ACfrom the root menu.

8.8 Conditions Reported by Subscribers
Some typical problems reported by subscribers are:
Noise
Poor voice quality
Interference
Dialling problems
Ringing problems
Intermittent service
No service
Troubleshoot the subscriber-reported problem by first determining whether only one subscriber, or a
group of subscribers, is affected.
8.8.1 All Subscribers of One Remote Station Affected
If all subscribers of one remote station report that they are experiencing problems with their service,
observe the OS MAJ and OS PWR LEDs on the central station's display panel. If either LED is lit, refer
to Section 8.3 Conditions Reported by Alarm LEDs on page 178.
If neither LED is lit and if the problem is being reported by 2-wire subscribers, run the loop test using the
interactive menus.
