The DATACOM equipment bridges should operate in pairs, that is, data converted from a DM704CE and
DM704SE Ethernet interface should be retrieved at the other end of the link by another DM704CE,
DM704SE, DM991CE, DM991SE or DM705-Switch equipment. DM704CE and DM704SE equipment does
not operate as TDM over IP, that is, it is not possible to use its Ethernet interface as the transportation
means, for example, by interconnecting with Ethernet radios. For this application the use of the DM706
Minimux IP is recommended (see the manual of this equipment for more information).
In this manual, the name DM704 represents the entire converter family, and whenever an explanation is
restricted to a given model, it will be cleared the model that is referred to.
Figure 3 represents the front panel of converter DM704S, and Figure 4 represents the front panel of
converter DM704SE.
• 105/ETH: When lit up it indicates an ON condition in the CT105. In the DM704SE, when
the Ethernet interface is enabled, this LED indicates the link status.
• ERRO: When lit up it indicates that there is an error occurring in the BERT sequence.
•

BERT: Enters a 511 (2 -1) sequence in the G.703 output channel, and receives a
sequence in the G.703 input channel.
• LDL: Activates the Local Digital Loop, to both the G.703 side and the V.35 or V.36/V.11
side.
Converter DM704SE shows these same functionalities, however they are software-enabled. The terminal
connection to the DM704SE is performed through a cable with the male DB9 connector on the converter
side, and the female DB9 or DB25 on the PC side. The cable pinout is shown in Table 2.
The RJ45 connector is used as the DM704SE Ethernet interface. The discretion of its pinout may be found
in Table 1.
2.1.2. DM704C and DM704CE
Figure 5 represents the panel of converter DM704C, and Figure 6 represents the panel of converter
DM704CE.
• 105/ETH: When lit up it indicates an ON condition in the CT105. In the DM704CE, when
the Ethernet interface is enabled, this LED indicates the link status.
• ERROR: When lit up it indicates that there is an error occurring in the BERT sequence.
•

• LDL: Activates the Local Digital Loop, to both the G.703 side and the V.35 or V.36/V.11
side.
Converter DM704CE shows these same functionalities, however they are software-enabled.
The RJ45 connector is used as the DM704CE Ethernet interface. The discretion of its pinout may be found
in Table 1.
Be careful so as to avoid a potential difference between pin 5 of DM704CE or DM704SE DB9 (signal
ground) and pin 5 of the terminal or PC DB9 (or pin 7 of DB25). If this occurs, the serial interfaces of the
DM704 and terminal will be damaged. To make sure that this does not occur, measure the voltage
between these pins with a voltmeter. If there is a potential difference, check that the DM704, the terminal
or PC are properly grounded and finally interconnect the signal ground to the converter protection ground.
It is not necessary to disconnect the equipment to connect the serial cable, if the conditions above are
observed.
*The figure is a representation of the Telebrás standard shelf on which converters DM704S and DM704SE
are installed.
• The converter G.703 signal output is available in the two TX-OUT screws.
• The converter G.703 signal input should be made through RX-IN screws.
• For the DB25 connector pinout, check the table in the digital interface chapter.
DB25 connector follows recommendation ISO2110 Amd.1, for both V.35 and V.36/V.11.
In case of converters DM704S/SE, this pinout may be changed to the Telebrás standard through straps.
In case of converters DM704C/CE, it is possible to optionally request the equipment have the pinout
selection between ISO 2110 Amd.1 and Telebrás standard through straps.
The data and clock signals are the balanced differential type, according to ITU-T recommendation V.11.
Signals CT107, CT108, CT109, CT140, CT141 and CT142 follow the characteristics of recommendation
V.28 (compatible with recommendation V.10). Control signals CT105 and CT106 may be configured by
straps to follow the characteristics of recommendation V.28 (for V.35) or V.11 (for V.36/V.11).
Table 4 shows the converter signals and the pinout, for both the female DB25 connector (ISO2110 Amd.1
or Telebrás) in the cabinet rear panel, and 37 pin female connector (ISO4902) of the adapter cable.
DTE has means to provide synchronism for the reception of data through the CT128. For its correct
operation, the clock supplied by DTE should be synchronized with the G.703 signal at the converter input,
even through in submultiples of 2048kbit/s.
† Only for models DM704S/SE or, when previously mentioned, for models DM704C/CE.
* For ISO2110 Amd. 1, the ERCa (22) and ERCb (23) pins do not correspond to the CT128.
† Only for models DM704S/SE or, when previously mentioned, for models DM704C/CE.
The interface enables the use of a 75 ohm coaxial cable or a 120 ohm twisted pair. The cables are
coupled through transformers, therefore there is no polarity for the twisted pair.
Be careful so that these straps are not in the grounded position when a 120ohm twisted pair is used.
The output wire that passes through the EDGE 2x30 connector 18B pin is connected to the E10 strap
central pin, and it is the TX-OUT wire that may be connected to the ground through this strap. In this case,
the TX-OUT screw grounded by the strap should be identified for each cabinet model, so that the coaxial
cable mesh may be connected to it. In the shelves, normally the lower screw is the grounded TX-OUT.
The input wire that passes through the EDGE 2x30 connector 21B pin is connected to the E11 strap
central pin, and it is the RX- wire that may be connected to the ground through this strap. The same
procedure for identifying which screw was grounded should be made in this case as well. In the shelves,
normally the lower screw is the grounded RX-IN.
The converter G.703 signal output is available in the terminals marked as TX-OUT in the bolted terminal
strip.
The converter G.703 signal input is available in the terminals marked as RX-IN in the bolted terminal strip.
When installing the DM704S and DM704SE, it is recommended to remove the line protection varistors
from the cabinet or shelf. The varistors deform the G.703 signal pulses and may cause erroneous bits,
intermittent operation, or even fully stopping the circuit activation. If the cabinet or shelf is manufactured by
DATACOM, or has a gas-filled spark gaps in lieu of varistor, no changes are required.
There are straps that allow you to connect the external coaxial cable network to the ground. On models
DM704C/CE with PCI rev. 04 or higher, this applies both to the input channel (RX-IN) and to the output
channel (TX-OUT). On models DM704C/CE with PCI rev. 03 or lower, this applies only to the input
channel (RX-IN); in this case, the external output coaxial cable network (TX-OUT) is always connected to
the ground.
The converter G.703 signal output is available in the BNC OUT connector or between pins 4 and 5 of
RJ48.
The converter G.703 signal input is available in the BNC IN connector or between pins 1 and 2 of RJ48.

The Ethernet interface connection is made through a RJ45 connector, seen from the front panel. The
connector pinout is so that permits the use of straight cables to connect the equipment to Ethernet hubs.
For that much, the bridge has the capacity of automatically learning the MAC addresses in the stations
connected to the local network. Thereby it is possible to filter the traffic and transmit to the WAN side only
the packets corresponding to the non existing MAC addresses in the local network, in addition to the
broadcast and multicast packets.
The bridge operates at the Ethernet interface MAC level. This way, the tributary is fully transparent to the
upper layer protocols, such as TCP/IP, UDP, etc.
The bridge local address table is capable of storing up to 1,000 MAC addresses, and if a station is inactive
for over 5 minutes, its address will be removed from the table.
The process for filtering the packets to be transmitted does not impose any limitation to the data flow, and
the delay introduced by the bridge processing is only 1 Ethernet frame.
• Self-negotiation – it enables the negotiation with the equipment connected by the Ethernet
interface of the operating mode, interface speed, and the flow control use.
• Link Speed – it is possible to select the interface operation speed at 100Mbit/s or 10Mbit/s.
• Flow control – permits to enable the flow control in the interface. If operating in Full-
Duplex, the pause frames will be used. If operating in Half-Duplex, the back pressure will
be used.
• Enable pause frames – when there is congestion in the LAN, the equipment sends pause
frames to the counterpart link for the latter to wait a given time before sending the next
data packet.
• Enable back pressure – when there is a congestion in the LAN, the equipment generates
collisions in the local network so as to limit the traffic.

5.4. Transfer of status between the bridge and the aggregate
The transfer of status is used to report problems that have occurred on one side of the network (Ethernet
or PDH) to the other side, enabling it to find new paths so as to continue functioning.
In other words, it allows the PDH network to indicate on the link of LAN that has failed, enabling the PDH
network to transfer information on the LAN fault to the remote equipment, so as to indicate that the circuit
is not functioning properly.
The transfer is a feature of the software, and can be enabled or disabled depending on the user’s needs.
In the converters, the transfer is controlled by configuring "Enable AIS Transmission".
With E1 enabled, the fault will be indicated in E1, via AIS transmission in the PDH link.
Or when E1 is disabled, the fault will be indicated in V.35, by the drop (signal is OFF) in CT 109.
The equipment will only interrupt the fault indication where the Ethernet interface link is reestablished, or
where some interface testing is activated.
With E1 enabled:
- Absence of CT108 in the V.35 interface (if this signal is not configured for FORCED).
The equipment will disable the Ethernet link to indicate to the network that a problem exists on the PDH
side of the circuit. The fault indication will only come to an end after reestablishing that the PDH link is
functioning.
IMPORTANT: The transfer always indicates the first situation detected, either it will indicate a fault in the
PDH or in the LAN. Simultaneous transfers will never be generated, as it would be impossible to
reestablish the circuit in this condition.
Converters DM704S and DM704SE are substantially different from converters DM704C and DM704CE
with regard to strapping configurations, so that subchapter 6.1 covers the strapping of converters DM704S
and DM704SE, and subchapter 6.2 covers the strapping of converters DM704C and DM704CE.
It enables to disable the communication of HDLC link used by the remote management. For better details
on the communication via HDLC link, see item 8.3.
Position OFF: Disables the communication. A mark is always transmitted in Sa bits of timeslot 0. The IDLE
word will be transmitted in timeslot 16, if this is not enabled to transmit data (DIP B2=OFF) and CAS (DIP
B1=OFF). There are no possibilities of remote management.
Position ON: Enables the communication. The Sa bits are used in the HDLC link used by the remote
management and could assume any value. If timeslot 16 is not being used to transmit data (DIP B2=OFF)
and CAS (DIP B1=OFF), this timeslot will be used for the communication via HDLC link.
The functionality of strap E3 can also be configured via management. In the same way as the DIP-
switches, which become ignored after some configuration is activated by the manager, this strap will
become ignored as well.
Position 120: Selects the use of a twisted pair, that is, the operation is in G.703 interface with an
impedance equivalent to 120 hms.
Position 75: Selects the use of a coaxial cable, that is, the operation is in G.703 interface with an
impedance equivalent to 75 ohms.
It permits to ignore (forced to OFF) the CT140 (RDL) signal or leave it controlled by the interface.
It permits to ignore (forced to OFF) the CT141 (LAL) signal or leave it controlled by the interface.
Position GND: Connects the wire that passes through the board EDGE 2x30 connector to the signal
ground. A check should be made to find out which TX-OUT screw of the connection strip in the rear of the
cabinet or shelf was grounded. The external coaxial cable mesh should be connected to this screw.
Be careful so that this strap is not in the grounded position when a 120 ohm twisted pair is used.
Position GND: Connects the wire that passes through the board EDGE 2x30 connector 21B pin to the
signal ground. A check should be made to find out which RX-IN screw of the connection strip in the rear of
the cabinet or shelf was grounded. The external coaxial cable mesh should be connected to this screw.
Be careful so that this strap is not in the grounded position when a 120 ohm twisted pair is used.

recommendation V.35 or V.36/V.11.
They permit to select the DB25 connector pinout from digital interface V.35 - V.36/V.11.
Position 120: Selects the use of a twisted pair, that is, the operation is in G.703 interface with an
impedance equivalent to 120 hms.
Position 75: Selects the use of a coaxial cable, that is, the operation is in G.703 interface with an
impedance equivalent to 75 ohms.
Position GND: connects the external coaxial cable network to the signal ground.
Be careful so that this strap is not in the grounded position when a 120 ohm twisted pair is used in the
RJ48.
Position GND: connects the external coaxial cable network to the signal ground.
Be careful so that this strap is not in the grounded position when a 120 ohm twisted pair is used in the

It permits to ignore (forced to OFF) the CT140 (RDL) signal or leave it controlled by the interface.
It permits to ignore (forced to OFF) the CT141 (LAL) signal or leave it controlled by the interface.
It permits to ignore (forced to ON) the CT105 (RTS) signal or leave it controlled by the interface.
They define whether the digital interface electrica characteristics will be in accordance with
recommendation V.35 or V.36/V.11.
With regard to the DIP-switch configurations, DM704S and DM704C models have the same
characteristics, so the information contained in this chapter applies to any of these converters.
Converters DM704SE and DM704CE do not have DIP-switches. However, for these later models, all
configurations mentioned for DM704S and DM704C models may be performed by software (except for the
function that enables the panel switches which does not exist in models "E", and the self-configuration.
When the switches are all set to OFF, the converter operates at 2048kbit/s (32 channels). In this case,
data will be transmitted and received without any attempt to obtain frame synchronism. The configuration
set at DIP-switches B1 to B3, B5 and C4 to C8 will be ignored.
When one or more switches are set to ON, the converter will operate with the number of channels
configured by the switch sequences. The number of channels will be the same as the binary number
written by switches (A1=MSB), what may be seen more clearly in Table 7.
The internal clock is obtained from the crystal oscillator from the converter itself, with a precision of
±50ppm.
The regenerated clock is obtained from the G.703 signal that goes in the converter line RX-IN, with the
same precision as the equipment that provides the G.703 signal (which should be ±50ppm). When running
with the regenerated clock, the converter switches automatically to the internal clock during the period in
which there is no G.703 signal at the converter input.
The external clock is provided by the DTE through the CT113 in the digital interface. The DTE should
provide it with a precision of ±50ppm. When running with the external clock, the converter switches
The external clock with the CT104 synchronized according to the CT113 operates as an external clock,
and in this mode the data (CT104) of V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface is also transmitted to the DTE
synchronized by the external CR113 clock. The switching to the internal clock is automatic during the
period in which there is no clock in the CT113, but this could cause errors in the transmission sequence
during the switching.
When set to OFF, if any remote loop request for the input line (RX-IN) is detected, this will be ignored and
the converter will continue to run normally.
Table 9 shows the multiframe synchronism sequence, sent over frame 0, and ABCD, relative to the voice
channels in frames 1 to 15.
Frame 0 0 0 0 0 X Y X X
Frame 1 to 15 A B C D A B C D
When CAS is enabled, CT109 will only be activated if the converter detects the CAS multiframe in the
input channel and is synchronized with it.Otherwise, the signal will remain deactivated. Interface E1
synchronism depends also on the synchronism of both the frame, and the CRC4 and PPC (if enabled).
When enabled, it can transmit, at most, 31 channels of 64Kbit/s in a structured manner or 32 channels of
64kbit/s in a non-structured manner.
When disabled, it could transmit, at most, 30 channels of 64kbit/s. In this case, timeslot 16 could not be
used by the user. If the HDLC link is not enabled IDLE will be transmitted in this timeslot. Otherwise this
timeslot will be used for the HDLC link communication. The behavior of LED 109 may be seen in Table 14.
When the cascading is enabled and timeslot 16 is disabled, the data received in this timeslot will be
retransmitted in the G.703.
When set to ON, it enables the use of the CRC4 (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
When CRC4 is enabled, the CT109 will only be activated if the converter detects the CRC4 in the input
channel and is synchronized with it. Interface E1 synchronism depends also on the synchronism of the
frame, and CAS and PPC (if enabled). The behavior of LED 109 may be seen in Table 14.
When set to OFF, it disables the use of the CRC4 (Cyclical Redundancy Check).
DM704 Series V - Product Manual - 204.4109.04 27
When disabled, in Si bit (international bit) the mark will always be transmitted (digital 1).
When set to OFF, the external reception clock will be disabled. The CT115 signal will be used as the
reception clock.
For the correct operation, it is necessary that the clock supplied by the DTE is synchronized with the G.703
signal at the input of converter DM704, even when in submultiples of 2048kbit/s.
When set to ON, the cascading will be enabled. In this mode, channels G.704 that are not used will
transmit the same received data.
When set to OFF, the cascading will be disabled and IDLE will be transmitted in the channels that are not
used.
When the cascading is enabled, it is possible to use various converters in the same link over intervace
G.703. The used channels will be inserted from the initial channel, and further timeslot will be transmitted
without any change, except for timeslot 0 (synchronism).
In this mode, the converter may operate in any of the four clock modes with CAS, CRC4 and loops. Care
should be taken for the transmission and reception clock to have exactly the same frequency, not
necessarily the same phase.
For example, if there are three pairs of converters to be cascaded, PC1, PC2 and PC3. In order to
organize them in the same link, it is necessary to take some cares:
• Analyze the CAS use. If any of the converters use CAS, timeslot 16 should be disabled in
the remaining converters. In these cases, the total number of channels will be 30. If no
converter uses CAS, timeslot 16 may be enabled and the total number of channels will be
31. In this example, one of the converters uses the CAS, therefore the other two
converters should disable timeslot 16, and the total number of channels will be 30.
• Analyze which are the speeds of each converter and how many channels each equipment
will need. The sum of the channels should not exceed the number of available channels,
as previously determined. Assuming that PC1 operates at 640kbit/s (10 channels) with
CAS, PC2 operates at 1024kbit/s (16 channels), and PC3 at 256kbit/s (4 channels), we
have a total of 30 channels for 30 available channels.
• Distribute the channels for each converter. For example, channels 1 for PC1, channels 11
to 26 for PC2, and channels 27 to 30 for PC3.
• PC1
o Number of channels:- 10
o CAS – Enabled.
o Timeslot 16 – Disabled.
o Initial channel = 1.
• PC2:
DM704 Series V - Product Manual - 204.4109.04 28
o Number of channels:- 16
o CAS – Disabled.
o Timeslot 16 – Disabled.
• PC3:
o Number of channels:- 4
o CAS – Disabled.
o Timeslot 16 – Disabled.
If there are converters model DM704C series II or DM704CE series II involved in the cascading, they
should have the software version 2.2 or higher.

When set to OFF, the test switches are disabled, that is, they may be depressed and nothing will happen.
This function is useful to avoid improper interruptions in the normal link operation.
When set to ON, it inverts the CT103 data transmission clock phase.
When set to OFF, no changes are made to the CT103 data transmission clock.
Except for specific applications, it is recommended to keep this DIP-switch set to OFF.
When this DIP-switch is set to ON, the configuration will be determined by the management system. In this
case, only DIP-switch C1 (referring to the management) continues to be monitored, and further DIPs are
ignored. To store the configuration made by the manager in non-volatile memory (E2PROM), the request
should be made via manager. This way, the equipment may recover the configuration saved even after
being switched off.
If a configuration has never been made by the manager, the DIP-switch configuration will be used until the
management system programs a different configuration.
When set to OFF, it is still possible to monitor the converter by the manager, but the loop activation
configuration is inhibited by the management. The converter starts to be configured by the straps and DIP-
switches only.
When selecting external or external RX (CT104 synchronized by CT113), the CT113 transmission clock
will be automatically selected and transferred to the CT114, regardless of the position of this DIP-switch.
When set to ON, the transmission clock (CT113) will be used for receiving the data on the part of the
converter (CT103).
When set to OFF, the transmission clock (CT113) will not be used for receiving the data on the part of the
converter (CT103).
Except for specific applications, it is recommended to keep this DIP-switch set to OFF.
Use only when internal or regenerated clock is selected in DIP-switches A6 and A7.
Except for specific applications, it is recommended to keep this DIP-switch set to OFF.
When the cascading is enabled, these DIPs will indicate from which channel in the G.704 the programmed
channel will be inserted. Only the total of number of channels already used in the converters that have
been in the cascade (in the ring) should be added, without relating them to the timeslots.
Note that if timeslot 16 is enabled, 31 channels may be used. With timeslot 16 disabled, only 30 channels
will be available.

The Pseuco-Controlled Carrier consists of the loss of the local converter carrier (signal CT109 set to OFF)
when the remote converter has the CT105 signal set to OFF. This is only possible when enabled in two
converters with the same characteristic. It should be enabled in both, and the carrier of each converter will
then depend on the CT105 signal from the other converter.
For the local converter to be able to detect changes in the CT105 from the remote converter, the strap that
forces the CT105 signal to ON in the remote converter has to be set to the 0-1 position (controlled).
The communication that enables this functionality is made via HDLC, therefore, the converters should be
connected between the G.703 interfaces, and it is necessary that the HDLC link is enabled, and the
conditions of Table 15 are satisfied.
When set to ON in two converters communicating via HDLC link, the CT109 of each one of them depends
on the CT105 of the other.
Determine the word to be transmitted in the channels that are not being used. The possible configurations
for the IDLE word are shown in Table 13.
When set to 0x00h all SPACES will be sent. When set to 0xFFh all MARK will be sent.
Normally, mark should be sent in non-used channels, that is, C5 and C6 should be set to OFF.
Through the management it is possible to configure the IDLE word for any desired value.

The automatic configuration enables a converter (master) to keep the configurations of other converter
(slave) equal to its own, except for clock configurations, or upon the selection of a configuration that
enables the communication via HDLC link through which the converters communicate to each other.
When set to ON, it enables the converter as master for the automatic configuration of the remote
converter. The converter does not respond but the management changes.
When the automatic configuration DIP-switch is enabled, the converter can not be remotely managed.
CT104 is the signal from the data provided by line RX-IN of G.703 interface or Ethernet interface, and sent
to the DTE. If the CT109 signal is OFF, the DTE mark will be transmitted.
CT105 is a control signal generated by the DTE, which indicates a transmission request. It can be forced
to ON or kept as controlled.
CT106 is a control signal generated by the converter, indicating that the converter is ready to transmit. In
converters DM704, the CT106 follows the CT105, unless some tests are activated for changing its
behavior.
CT107 is a control signal generated by the converter, indicating that the converter is ready to operate.
Under normal operation, it remains active, except for the BERT sequence that is activated, or when a
remote converter loop activation requested is received from the G.703 interface. When using the Ethernet
interface, this signal remains always active.
CT108 is a control signal generated by the DTE. When the DTR signal is OFF, its behavior varies
depending on other interfaces enabled in the converter. When the converter DM704 is performing any loop
test or using the BERT facility, the DTR signal (CT108) will be ignored. It can be forced to ON or kept as
controlled.
• Interface E1 enabled: while the signal is set to OFF, an AIS signal will be transmitted over the
G.703 interface. The AIS transmission may be disabled.
• Interface Ethernet enabled: while the signal is set to OFF, the Ethernet interface is deactivated.
CT109 is a control signal generated by the converter. When this signal indicates the status of the other
converter enabled interface.
• Interface E1 enabled: it indicates that the carrier is being detected in the line RX-IN of G-703
interface and the receiver is synchronized with the G.704 structure, including the CRC4, CAS,
and PPC, when enabled. For 32 channels, the CT109 signal will detect the carrier only. While the
converter does not detect the carrier in line RX-IN, the signal will keep deactivated. While the
carrier is detected in line RX-IN, the signal will keep activated.
When there is a lack of synchronism in some of the enabled structure in frame G.704 of E1, or if the
Ethernet link is down, the CT109 becomes off and the converter forces the CT104 to mark. When the
converter is performing any loop test this signal will remain set to ON.
CT113 is the transmission clock provided by DTE. When the external clock is used, or when selected by
DIP C2, this signal should be at the same rate as the one selected by DIPs A1 to A5.
CT114 is the transmission clock used by the converter, synchronized with the transmission clock of line
TX-OUT of G.703 interface (if enabled). It could be generated from the external reference (CT113), internal
reference, or by the G.703 interface regenerated clock. Its direction is from the converter to the V.35 or
V.36/V.11 (DTE) interface.
• Interface E1 enabled: this signal is the clock recovered from line RX-IN of G-703 interface,
regardless of the clock option selected in the digital interface.
• Interface Ethernet enabled: this signal is the general system clock, therefore a copy of the
CT114. This way, it could be generated from the external reference (CT113), or from an internal
reference.
CT140 is Remote Digital Loop request generated by the DTE. The activation of this signal generates a test
request through line TX-OUT. This signal can be forced to OFF. It does not have functionality when the
Ethernet interface is enabled.
CT141 is Remote Analog Loop request generated by the DTE. The signal activation starts the test. This
signal can be forced to OFF. It does not have functionality when the Ethernet interface is enabled.
CT142 remains active while the converter is in test. Its direction is from the converter to the V.35 or
V.36/V.11 (DTE) interface.
CT128 is the external clock for the reception of V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface data. When there is no clock in
the interface, this will be automatically switched to the CT115. It could be disabled, and in this case the
CT115 will be used as a reference. This signal should be generated by the DTE, and should be in the
same rate as that selected by DIPs A1 to A5.
The converter indicates an invalid configuration causing LEDs 109, 105, TEST and ERROR to flash
together. The error may be in the number of channels, clock, CAS, enablement of timeslot 16 or initial
channel.
LED ALIM (DM704S and DM704SE) PWR (DM704C and DM704CE) light up when the equipment is ON.
LED 109 is the indicator of the CT109 signal, and the synchronism of E1 or Ethernet link (depending on
which interface is enabled). Lights up when the signal is set to ON the LED follows the behavior described
in Table 14.
When the digital interface is no longer enabled (DM704SE and DM704CE), this LED simply represents
the synchronism of interface E1, but its behavior is still the sane as that described in Table 14 (except that
there is no PPC synchronism).
LED 105 (DM704S and DM704C) or 105/ETH (DM704SE and DM704CE) is the indicator of signal CT105.
If CT105 is forced, the LED will keep lit up. If the Ethernet internet (DM704SE and DM704CE) is enabled,
this LED will indicate the activity in the interface. When lit up it indicates that the link is active, and when
flashing it indicates that there is data going through the interface.
TEST LED (DM704S and DM704SE) or TEST (DM704C and DM704CE) reproduces the CT142 signal,
that is, lights up when the equipment is under test.
LED ERROR (DM704S and DM704SE) or ERROR (DM704C and DM704CE) lights up upon the detection
of an error. In case of invalid configuration, it will remain flashing alternately with LED 109, LED 105 and
TEST LED. In the BERT test, see items 9.1.
8.3. Management
Converter DM704 may be remotely managed. This way it is possible to configure, monitor, and activate
tests through the management control.
Telebrás standard management consists in the communication between DM704S or DM704SE and
DMG20 (management card) of DATACOM, permitting the access of a SNMP manager to the equipment. It
is necessary that the converter is installed in a shelf equipped with DMG20, or it is in the extension of this
shelf. The serial communication is performed at the speed of 9600 bit/s. When managed in this way, the
DM704S and DM704SE permit the remote equipment, connected to their G.703 interface, to be also
accessed by the SNMP manager, provided between the converter and this equipment there is a remote
management link established through HDLC link (see Table 15). The equipment accepts only one
management; therefore, if it is being managed by the Telebrás standard the remote management will not
be accepted. The opposite situation is also true. The DM704C and DM704S equipment, when using the
automatic configuration, can not be managed.
The remote management through interface E1 consists of the communication through a HDLC link
between the DM704 with a DM705 or DM706 (SNMP manager) multiplexer, with a DM704CE or DM704SE
(through the terminal), or even with a DM704S and DM704SE managed by a DMG20 (as described in the
paragraph above). In these cases, the location recognizes the DM704 as a remote set and will start to
manage it.
Converter DM704SE or DM704CE, when using the Ethernet-V.35 mode, can not use the management via
HDLC, since the G.703 interface is not enabled. In the DM704SE, it is still possible of using the
management by SNMP normally.
DATACOM converters with remote management functionality via HDLC link are: DM704S series III / IV / V,
DM704SE series IV / V, DM704C series III / IV / V, or even a DM704CE series IV / V, of which only
DM704CE and DM704SE can manage remotely another converter through the terminal.
If the configuration to be used does not need speeds above 1920kbit/s (30 channels), and the CAS is not
needed, it is advisable to leave timeslot 16 disabled, permitting the communication via HDCL to be faster.
Converter DM704S configuration when leaving the factory enables it to be managed. However, together
with the DMG20, it is possible to verify the operation status, but not to change the equipment configuration.
By enabling the DIP C1, it is possible to configure the DM704S through Telebrás standard management.
On the other hand, the DM704SE is always manageable when used with the DMG20 and its configuration
when leaving the factory also permits to use the management via HDLC link. There is no configuration
restriction for Telebrás management.
The configuration of converters DM704C and DM704CE, when leaving the factory enables them to be
managed. Therefore, the converter may be configured through the manager without the need of removing
the equipment cover for changing its DIP-switches (DM704C), or to enter in the terminal locally
(DM704CE).
Only the LAL test activation can not be configured by the remote management, because this test destroys
the management link.
The configuration performed by the management system may remain stored in a non-volatile memory so
that it may be recovered even after a power failure. The converter can only record the configuration when
this request is performed via manager (or local terminal in case of the DM704CE and DM704SE).
The converter will not activate an invalid configuration by the management system. If the management
requests the activation of an invalid configuration, the converter will try to correct it, and, if this is not
possible, it will not activate this configuration, remaining with the old configuration.
In converters DM704S and DM704C, if some test is activated by the switches, and a request is generated
for leaving the test via management, the equipment will leave the test as could be checked in the TEST
LED, but the switch will remain depressed. When desiring to stop the equipment from interpreting the
switch, it is necessary to disable the panel switches. This way, even with some switch depressed, the
equipment will not go into test (unless the management makes a test request).
In the DM704S and DM704C equipment, with the DIP C1 OFF, it is still possible to monitor the converter
by the management, but the configuration will remain inhibited. In this case, the configuration used is
always determined by the DIP-switches.
In DM704S and DM704C equipment, the HDLC link strap functionality may be configured by the
management. Therefore, its behavior is equal to that of the DIP-switches. If they are being ignored
because the management is configuring the equipment, the HDLC strap will also be ignored. It will
normally return to service when DIP-switches are being used to configure the equipment.
Any change in the master equipment configuration, except for clock configurations, will be automatically
transferred to the slave equipment, provided the minimum necessary conditions are maintained for the
remote management link.
The slave converter will always be configured with the regenerated clock. Other clock configurations in the
slave converter, or enablement of special clock functions, such as CT128, inversion of transmission clock
phase or CT113 unlooped to CT114, can not be made through the automatic configuration.
The equipment is constantly under communication via HDLC link, updating the configuration whenever
they are different. Therefore, even though the configuration through this functionality is not stored in the
non-volatile memory (E2PROM) of the slave converter, this will assume the same configuration as the
master after the power failure. After the power failure is restored, the equipment communicates via HDLC
link, and the slave converter configuration reassumes those of the master.
The configurations that could not be enabled in the master converter because they cause the loss of the
HDCL link are the cascading (DIP B5), the generation of AIS (DIP C3), and the operating speed of
2048kbit/s (DIPs A1 to A5 set to OFF). The LAL test may only be performed in the local equipment,
because it causes the temporary loss of the communication via HDLC link until the test is disabled. If the
HDLC link drops, the slave converter looses the communication and keeps the last configuration copied
from the master until the communication is restored. Table 16 shows more details of how the converter
configurations continue with this functionality.
By using the Telebrás management it is possible to configure the DM704S present in the shelf managed
by the DMG20 to configure automatically the converter remote to it. Therefore, the changes made through
the management in the shelf equipment configuration will also be transferred to the remote equipment.
Therefore, the remote converter will have by the management master the shelf DM704S and not the
DMG20. Therefore it will not be possible to check the slave converter configuration by the Telebrás
management. In order to check this configuration, the automatic configuration function in the shelf
converter may be disabled. The remote equipment will start to respond to the DMG20 management, and it
will be possible to check how it is configured.
When the automatic configuration DIP-switch is enabled, the converter can not be remotely managed.
The tests are set up in the same way for the entire DM704 converter family, and the only difference among
them is the execution mode: converters DM704S and DM704C have switches in the front panel, each of
them responsible for the activation of one of the tests. On the other hand, for converters DM704SE and
DM704CE the tests are activated by software only.
For DM704SE and DM704CE these tests can also be performed, however, they are activated by software.
When interface E1 is disabled, the only possible test to be made is the LDL in the V.35-V.36/V.11
interface.
The converter will remain under testing conditions until the switch is turned off or the test is deactivated by
the management. If the test is actuated by a switch, and deactivated by the management the switch will
remain depressed, but the equipment will leave the test, this may be detected by the TEST LED in the
front panel. If the configuration is changed after that, the equipment will go back into test since it will
recognize again the depressed switch. For the equipment to stop recognizing the switch, the panel
switches (DIP B7) should be disabled.
This test may be used together with a local analog loop, a remote digital loop or any physical connection. It
is also possible to activate BERT in two converters that communicate with each other. In this case, each
receptor monitors the standard sent by the transmitter of another equipment.
For the DM704S and DM704C: If the LDL switch is activated after the BERT being actuated, in case there
is an error found in the reception of the 511 standard, the LED ERROR will remain lit up (this procedure
will not activate the local digital loop). To turn the LED off, after being activated, it will be necessary to
deactivate the LDL switch, going back to the normal BERT test operation. This function is very useful for
testing a link that spends a long time without showing errors.
For the DM704S and DM704C: If the LDL switch is deactivated in less than 2 seconds, an error will be
entered in the transmitted stream. The purpose of this functionality is to test whether the test configuration
is valid.
If the digital interface is being used, the V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface signaling will be set to OFF
(CT104=mark, CT106=OFF, CT107=OFF, CT109=OFF and CT114=OFF) and the TEST LED, as well as
the CT142, will be set to ON.
The TEST LED will be set to ON, when this test is active. When the converter is operating with 32
CHANNELS, LED 109 will describe whether a carrier is being detected in line RX-IN. When the converter
is operating with NxCHANNELS, LED 109 will describe whether a carrier is synchronized with the signal
coming from line RX-IN.
This test enables a quick check of the transmission quality, without using the external testing equipment.
In this test, the transmission data returns to the reception. The loop is performed in the G.703 interface,
going through the entire converter analog circuit, as seen in Figure 11.
If the BERT is used, the tributary will not be tested, only the interface E1 analog portion.
If the equipment is running with the regenerated clock, after activating the test, the clock will be changed
automatically to an internal clock.
The TEST LED and LED 109 light up. When using a digital interface, the CT142 and CT109 signals are set
to ON. In line TX-OUT the signal is transmitted normally, that is, the same signal that returns to the digital
interface.
The converter will remain under testing conditions until the switch or CT141 is turned off or the test is
deactivated by the management or terminal.
This test can not be activated by the management via HDLC link.
If the digital interface is being used, the DTE (CT103) transmission data returns to the DTE (CT104)
reception. The loop takes place inside of the converter V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface. Simultaneously, the
signal recovered in line RX-IN from G.703 interface is retransmitted to line TX-OUT, that is, the loop also
takes place between the reception and transmission drivers of G.703 interface. The TEST LED, the
CT142, and CT109 are set to ON. This way, this test checks the connection and interface with the local
DTE, as well as the connection with the remote side. LED 109 follows the synchronism of interface E1.
When converter DM704CE or DM704SE has the Ethernet interface enabled, the loop takes place for the
G.703 or V.35-V.36/V.11 interfaces, that is, the signal recovered in these interfaces is retransmitted in the
output signal. The TEST LED lights up. LED 109 follows the synchronism of interface E1 or Ethernet
interface (if G.703 interface is disabled). This test checks the connection and the interface with the remote
side.
To activate the RDL in the remote converter, the local and remote converter should be configured with the
same transmission rate.
When the remote side detects the RDL request, this sends a loop closing confirmation signal. When the
side that requested the RDL detects the confirmation for the remote loop activation, the TEST LED lights
up. If the digital interface is being used, the CT142 signal is set to ON, and the CT106 signal goes to OFF
during the transmission of the test request.
If BERT is used together with the TX-RDL, the tributary will not be tested. Note that BERT will only start
after the loop is accepted by the remote converter.
When the digital interface is being used, the DTE (CT103) transmission data returns to the DTE (CT104)
reception. The loop takes place inside of the converter V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface. Simultaneously, the
signal recovered in line RX-IN from G.703 interface is retransmitted to line TX-OUT, that is, the loop also
takes place between the reception and transmission drivers of G.703 interface. The TEST LED, the
CT142, and CT109 are set to ON, the CT107 is set to OFF. This way, this test checks the connection and
interface with the local DTE, as well as the connection with the remote side.
When converter DM704CE or DM704SE has the interfaces E1 and Ethernet enabled, the loop takes place
in interface E1 only, that is, the signal recovered in line RX-IN from G.703 interface is retransmitted to line
TX-OUT. The TEST LED lights up. This test checks the connection and the interface with the remote side.
When the converter is operating with 32 CHANNELS, and line RX-IN was found to be more than one
second without a carrier, the CT109 will be set to OFF, and the loop will be undone, returning to the normal
operation. When the converter is the digital interface, operating with N x channels, loss of synchronism is
detected in line RX-IN for more than one second, the CT109 will be set to OFF, and the loop will be
undone, returning to the normal operation. LED 109 will operate normally, according to the E1
synchronism.
The converter will remain under testing conditions until the switch or CT140 is turned off or the test is
deactivated by the management.
The loop activation, confirmation, and deactivation request follow the ITU-T recommendation V5.4.
Always observe the instructions of security during the installation, operation or maintenance of this
product. Installation, adjustment or maintenance must be carried through only by qualified, trained and
authorized people.
Before connecting any cable to the equipment, make sure that the grounding system is functional.
To prevent risks of electric shock, before opening the DM704C/CE equipments, disconnect the power
supply.
The described equipment in this manual is sensible to the static electricity. Before handling any described
equipment in this manual, verify if using devices of protection against static electricity, and if these are
functioning correctly.
10.1. Installation
The installation of the DM704S/SE converters simply consist of inserting the converter card in a Telebrás
standard sub-rack slot in which its operation is desired (the options of the E1 interface pinout in the screw
connector block are shown in Table 5).
Make sure the card is running smoothly in the tracks. It should fit easily. If this does not occur, do not force
it. Take the card out again and verify what is blocking it.
The power input of the DM704C/CE converters can be either AC (93 to 250V, 50-60Hz) or DC (36 to 72V),
its selection being automatic. The connector is available in the back panel. To turn on the equipment just
connect the power cable.
For instructions about the installation of power supply see chapter 16.3 - Power supply.
To select the operating parameters for converters DM704S and DM704SE through the straps or DIP-
switches (for DM704s only), it is necessary to remove them from the cabinet or shelf. For converters
DM704C and DM704CE, it is necessary to disconnect the equipment.
Make sure that the equipment is not energized when performing the strapping. This procedure can never
be performed with the equipment connected to the power supply.
Converters DM704S and DM704SE, the digital interface connection is made through the shelf or cabinet
female DB25 connector according to ISO2110 Amd. 1, while converters DM704C and DM704CE the
connection is made through the DB25 connector existing in the rear panel of the equipment. This pinout
may be changed to the same Telebrás standard through the procedure described more detailed in item
6.2.3 (for DM704S and DM704SE only, or when previously requested, for DM704C and DM704CE). If
necessary an adapter cable (provided separately) may be used to connect the converter to V.35 interfaces
with M34 (ISO2593) connector or V.36/V.11 interfaces with DB37 (ISO4902) connector.
In converters DM704S and DM704SE, the G.703 interface may be connected through a 120 ohm twisted
pair to the terminal strip or 75 ohm coaxial cable.
Together with converters DM704S and DM704SE a pair of adapters is provided to connect the coaxial
cables with BNC connector to the cabinet or shelf terminal strip.
When installing the DM704S and DM704SE, remove the line protection varistors from the cabinet or shelf.
The varistors deform the G.703 signal pulses and may cause erroneous bits, intermittent operation, or
even fully stopping the circuit activation. If the cabinet or shelf is manufactured by DATACOM, or has a
gas-filled valve arrester in lieu of the varistor, no changes are required.
There is an optional accessory (called RB-01) that enables to accommodate up to 40 BNC adapters. This
is sufficient to accommodate the RX-IN and TX-OUT cables of 20 converters installed in a standard
Telebrás shelf for 20 modems. This accessory is a steel panel with holes to fix the BNC connectors
through their nuts. The panel may be installed in frames with 19 inch attachments or screwed to vertical
bars on the internal side of the frame.
For converters DM704C and DM704CE, the connection of G.703 interface may be performed by means of
a 75 ohm coaxial cable or a 120 ohm twisted pair, by observing the straps.
10.2. Operation
Once installed, the converter must get into work as soon as switched on, not requiring any operator
intervenience.
The DM704C, DM704CE and DM704SE configuration upon leaving the factory enables them to be
managed, but the DM704S configuration, in turn, upon leaving the factory doesn´t enable it to be
managed. Thus, the configuration has to be changed. If it is desired to remotely manage the equipament, it
must be configured so that the conditions in Table 15 are met, for instance, configuring the operation
speed to 64kbit/s.
Chapter 9 describes the tests the converter offers to check the data link work or isolation of faults.
Powering the converter with DIPs A8, B8, C8 ON and the rest of them OFF, buttons LAL and LDR
activated and BERT and LDL desactivated (only for models DM704S and DM704C), the leds 104, 109,
103, 105 indicate the version as the table below. Thus, the LEDs TEST and ERROR will be flashing
alternately. The converter will only return to normal operation after being disconnected and connected with
the DIP-switches reconfigurated.
Converters DM704CE and DM704SE allows to check the version of the firmware installed through the
terminal or remote management.
In the I series DM704 converters, the clock configuration defines which the G.703 interface TX-OUT line
clock source will be. The interface RX-IN line always operates with regenerated clock. So, the connection
through the G.703 interface of two converters using internal clock is possible, each converter will use, at
reception (RX-IN line), the clock provided by the other converter.
The II series DM704 converters operate with the synchronized G.703 interface RX-IN and TX-OUT lines.
That means the clock used for data reception at the interface RX-IN line will be working with the same TX-
OUT line signal frequency, but not necessarily the same phase. In this case, it will not be possible to
establish a link between two converters that use internal clock, as the difference in frequency between the
G.703 interface lines may give origin to loss of synchronism or data error. In this example, the right
configuration would be using the internal clock in one of the converters and regenerated clock for the other
converter.
The I series and II series DM704 converters do not accept remote management, whereas the III series, IV
series and V series DM704 converters do.
The III series and IV series DM704S/SE converters, when managed by theDMG20 can also manage the V
series DM704 converters.
When the CRC4 is disabled, the III series, IV series and V series DM704 converters send mark in Si bit, no
longer sending the CRC4. The I series DM704 converters work in the same way, but the II series DM704
converters disable only the CRC4 monitoring, not its sending.
The PPC function has been implemented in the III series DM704 and did not exist in its predecessors. It
can be used between two converters having such functionality, therefore it is only possible to use this
function between III series, IV series and/or V series converters.
The remote converter automatic configuration function has also been implemented in the III series
DM704S and DM704C and only works when the converter is communicating via HDLC link with a
converter that accepts remote management. With that, this function cannot be used with its predecessors,
but only between III series, IV series and/or V series DM704S and DM704C ones.
As from III series DM704, clock configurations have been added which must only used in specific cases,
such as transmission clock inversion and unlooped CT113 to CT114.
In the I series and II series DM704S and DM704SE converters it was possible to configure the speed at
which the communication with the manager should be made. This option was DIP selectable for either 600
bit/s or 9600 bit/s. The III series DM704S and IV series and V series DM704 S and DM704SE converters
leave the factory configured to communicate at 9600 bit/s.
The DM704CE and DM704SE converters, as from IV series, accept packets of up to 1552 bytes, that is,
they accept VLAN packets.
In the IV series and V series DM704 converters, it is possible to download firmware to the remote
equipment, an inexisting functionality in previous versions.
The IV series and V series DM704CE and DM704SE models can have the 100Mbit/s Ethernet interface
and with autocrossover and autonegotiation.
In the IV series and V series converters, the 103 and 104 LEDs light when there is data transition in the
CT103 and CT104 signals. In the previous series the LEDs would light when there was space (binary 0) in
the signals.
In the DM704CE and DM704SE models, the Ethernet interface to V.35-V.36/V.11 converter mode only
exists from the V series DM704. In the II series DM704CE and DM704SE only the G.703 to Ethernet
conversion is available and in the IV series DM704CE and DM704SE both the G.703 to Ethernet and
G.703 to V.35-V.36/V.11 conversion are available.
The DM704CE and DM704SEconverters can be configured via a VT100 terminal (or a PC terminal
emulator, such as Windows HyperTerminal) connected to the front panel terminal port.
The DM704C and DM704S converters can also be configured via terminal, if they are remotes of
DM704CE and DM704SE converters.
The terminal must be configured for 9600 bit/s, no stream control, 1 stop bit and no parity check bit. When
configured on Windows 2000, it is recommend not using the HyperTerminal, for the latter presents
some working issues on that platform. For such, we recommend the use of Tera Term Pro, which is a
software freeware and can be found in the electronic address:
http://www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
After initialization, the terminal can request an access password, which comes from factory configured as
“admin” (this password can only be requested if the user configures the equipment so that this occurs).
This password can be changed or even disabled, as will be seen next.
The terminal has a timeout of approximately 10 minutes, so that, if nothing is typed in within that period, it
returns to the password identification screen. The configuration and management menus are depicted
below.

• 1 – Configuration menu: allows configuring general characteristics of either the equipment
or each interface.
• 3 - Status Menu: allows viewing the general status of both the equipment and each
interface.
Every configuration performed in this menu´ sub-menus are stored in a user memory that will have to be
activated so that the equipment is configured in the desired way. The configuration currently used in the
equipment is stored in a memory called Equipment Memory. The user configurations, in turn, are in a
memory called User Memory.
Figure 17 presents all the actions that can be taken with the equipment memories.
• Equipment Memory: it is the configuration currently in use in the equipment, having come
from the configuration recorded in the E2PROM (E2PROM Memory) after the reset (X*) or
from the User configuration (User Memory) after activation command (2). The Equipment
Memory is passed to the E2PROM Memory when “Save configurations into E2PROM” (4)
is selected and is passed to the User Memory through the “Update configurations” (3)
command.
• User Memory: it has the configurations the user has programmed locally via terminal or
remotely via SNMP. That is where the information of what has been configured in the
terminal screens lies. The User Memory is passed to the Equipment Memory when “Apply
changes” (2) is selected, then, if the configurations are valid, they will be activated. The
“Load E2PROM configurations” (5) command loads, into the User Memory, the
configuration stored in the E2PROM Memory. It is also possible to load into this memory
the factory standard configuration through the “Load factory configuration” (6) command.
The standard configuration is programmed at the factory and cannot be changed.
• E2PROM Memory: it is a non-volatile memory from which the equipment reads the
configurations at the moment of reset (X*). This memory is copied into the User Memory
through the “Load E2PROM configurations” (5) command and is changed through the
“Save configurations into E2PROM” (4) command, which activates the user configuration
and repasses the Equipment Memory to E2PROM.
• 1 - Test user configurations: this option tests if the configurations set by the user are valid
and if their application is possible, without really activating them in the equipment. When
the configuration is totally valid, “Temporary configuration compatible”, will show in the
Configuration field. If any adjustments in the user configuration are needed, “Temporary
config. partially compatible” will show and if it is not possible to apply the configurations,
“Temporary configuration invalid” will show.
• 2 – Apply changes: this option makes the equipment try to apply the user configurations. If
it achieves the complete application, the status indication will show“Active configuration”. If
it achieves, but with inconsistent automatic change in some configuration, then“Partially
active configuration” will show and if the user configurations application is not possible, we
will have “Invalid configuration”.
• 3 – Update configurations: this option overwrites the user configuration memory with the
equipment configuration. It is used when the use the configuration that was in the
equipment (discarding the not loaded changes made by the user) is desired.
• 4 - Save configurations into the E2PROM: this option makes the equipment activate the
user configuration and save the equipment active configuration into the E2PROM, so next
time the equipment is restarted it will return with the same configuration.
• 5 - Load configurations from the E2PROM: this option reads the configuration stored in the
E2PROM, overwriting the user configuration. In order to activate this configuration , the
“Apply changes” option must be executed.
• 6 – Load factory configuration: this option fills the user memory with the factory standard
configuration. In order to activate this configuration, the “Apply changes” option must be
executed.
• 7 - View Activation LOG: this option presents a LOG containing the errors from attempting
to activate either partially invalid configurations or invalid configurations. This option is only
available at the local equipment.
In this menu the TAB key changes the value of the object to configure.
Press ENTER to exit this menu and save the changes into the user memory, and ESC to exit and cancel
the changes.
This menu is accessed by pressing “G” in the configuration menu and aims to configure the equipment
global clock and also to enable, or not, management link destructive configurations.
• Clock Source: configures the equipment transmission clock. The options are: Internal and
Regenerated (from either the E1 or digital interface).
• Enable AIS Transmission: enables or not the AIS (Alarm Indication Signal) transmission.
• Enable tests: enables activation of tests in this interface by either the tests menu or the
management.
• CT108 (DTR): indicates if the CT108 control signal, generated by the DTE, signaling that
the terminal is ready, must be either considered or ignored (forced ON). When enabled
together with the AIS transmission, the converter generates AIS when this signal is
missing.
o General sync source: the interface will use, as clock, the equipment clock source
(either regenerated from E1 or internal).
o External (CT113): the interface will use the CT113 signal for CT103 sampling.
o CT104 sync. CT113: the interface will use the CT113 signal for CT103 sampling
and will send the CT104 synchronized with this clock (CT113).
o CT113 unlooped to CT114: the CT113 clock is not repassad to CT114, which will
be the system clock. The CT103 signal is sampled according to CT113.
Recommended upon connecting DM704 to some routers models.
• CT128 (ERC): selects if the data sent in CT104 must be synchronized with the interface
CT128 signal. If the previous parameter, clock, is selected to CT104 sync. CT113, this
object cannot be enabled.
• Invert TX clock: inverts the selected clock sampling edge for CT103 sampling.
To disable E1 interface must be enable the "Destrutive Configuration" in "General Configuration Menu".
• Idle byte: it is the decimal value of the byte which will be transmitted in the idle timeslots, if
they are configured to IDLE.
• Remote management: can be either configured for the use of the Sa bits, for the use of
timeslot 16, or disabled.
• Initial timeslot: configures the data initial channel number. If the drop-insert is disabled, the
channel must mandatorily be 01 for N x 64 kbit/s and 00 for 32 timeslots.
• Channel signaling: indicates which signaling type will be used in timeslot 16:
o CAS emulation: the equipment simulates CAS signaling, finding CAS multiframe
synchronism, but without transmitting effective information about channels
signaling.
• Timeslot 16 with user data: enables the user data transmission in timeslot 16.
o Drop insert: this configuration causes the received timeslots, that are not used, to
be retransmitted, enabling the cascading of several equipment in the same E1
link.
o Idle: this configuration causes the transmission of the user configured value in the
“Idle byte” parameter in each idle timeslot.

The equipment usually undergo upgrades, in which new features are added. In order to use those new
features, it is necessary to change the equipment firmware. That is done by downloading a new firmware.
In order to download, the user must have in his computer the file with the new firmware, which can be
obtained at the DATACOM site:
www.datacom.ind.br
After obtaining the file, the user can perform the download to the equipment via terminal, sending the file in
a binary form.
In order to perform the firmware download procedure, the terminal must be configured to send the data in
binary form.
The Windows® HyperTerminal usually does not send the files in binary form, instead does so in text
format. Therefore it is recommended not to use the Windows® terminal to download the software.
DATACOM recommends the use of the Tera Term Pro® applicative, which is a software freeware and can
be found at the following address:
www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
In order to update the firmware, enter the terminal and choose the equipment the firmware will be sent to.
On the Main Menu screen, press the “F” key. At the bottom of the screen a message will appear indicating
that the download can be started (Action: Start Download). When this message shows, click on “File –
Send File...”. Next select the firmware marking the “binary” option at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Then, click on “Open” and wait for the download to end (around 5 minutes at 9600 bit/s).
The download occurs alongside with the converter normal operation. When the transfer is complete, the
equipment will check for the integrity of the received file. If it is a valid file, the equipment will automatically
update its firmware and only then will restart, interrupting the connection for about one minute.
Described here are the structures defined by G.704 recommendation. Note that a G.703 signal at
2048kbit/s with framework according to G.704 is also called E1 signal.
The frames are organized in larger structures, called multiframes. Every E1 signal is organized in 2 frames
multiframes, the first frame contains the Frame Alignment Signal (FAS) and the second frame contains the
Non-Frame Alignment Signal (NFAS).

Notes:
1) Si – bit reserved for international use. Usually set to 1, except when CRC4 is used as will be seen
later.
2) Bit always set to 1.
3) Remote alarm indication. If normal operation, set to 0, under alarm set to 1. If the converter
receptor loses frame synchronism, this bit will be transmitted as 1
4) For specific uses. Bits usually set to 1.
It is formed by 16 frames and uses the frames timeslot 0 Si bit for the Cyclic Redundancy Check-4
procedure, which allows evaluating the transmission quality. This multiframe always starts in a frame
having FAS. The multiframe frame is identified by a six bit structure called CRC4 multiframe alignment
signal that is found in the odd frames. In the last two odd frames, sub-multiframe error signals are
transmitted. Frame 13 (E13) E bit corresponds to error occurred in sub-multiframe I and E15 corresponds
to error occurred in submultiframe II. In the even frames, on which FAS is, the four check bits (CRC)
calculated from the previous submultiframe, are transmitted. Table 19 presents the CRC4 multiframes
structure.

SMF indicates the submultiframe. These partitions are used for calculating CRC4.
The E bit is used to indicate a CRC4 error. The bit normal status is 1. When a
CRC4 error is detected, the bit corresponding to the multiframe in which the error
was detected is set to 0.
C1 to C4 are used to transmit the CRC4 code.
The timeslot 0 containing the 0011011 sequence is defined as the FAS word, and
the timeslot 0 not containing FAS is NFAS.
It is generally used in voice channels transmitting lines. Its multiframe alignment is performed by timeslot
16, without any relationship with a possible CRC4 multiframe. Table 20 presents the CAS multiframe
structure.
The CAS and CRC4 structures are totally mutually independent and can be individually disabled by the
user.
In the AMI code, marks are transmitted as alternate positive and negative pulses, while spaces are
transmitted as zero voltage level. In the AMI codification a large number of zeros cannot be transmitted, for
as there are no line transitions, the receptor loses the signal timing.
In the HDB3 format, the mark condition follows the AMI code, but 4 consecutive zeros (spaces) are
replaced by either the 000V or B00V sequence. The choice for one or the other sequence is made so that
the number of B pulses between consecutive V pulses is odd, or be it, successive V pulses have alternate
polarity so that no DC component is introduced into the signal. Table 21 presents an example of HDB3
code being applied to a sequence of bits.

Before connecting any cable to the equipment, make sure that the grounding system is functional.
There must be no voltage difference between the DM704CE/SE DB9 pin 5 (signal ground) and the PC
DB9 pin 5 (or DB25 pin 7). This can cause damage the DM704 and PC serial interfaces. To be sure to
avoid this, use an AC voltmeter to measure the voltage between these pins. If there is voltage difference,
check if the modem and the PC are properly grounded. It is not necessary to turn the equipment off to plug
in the serial cable, if the above conditions are met.
In case of using DC voltage, you must be careful so that the equipment protection earth cable (green
cable with yellow line related to the central socket pin) matches the system protection earth cable. This
