Installing the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 for ISL applications

The software and hardware of the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 must be installed sequentially. The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 software must be defined before the hardware connection between the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and the SL-1 can be made. Within the software installation, either the auto-dial or the auto-answer software can be set up first. Figure 2 shows the hardware configuration between two SL-1s and their corresponding Hayes Smartmodem 2400s.

Carrier interface
The NT8D72AB and NT8D72BA PRI provide an interface to the 2Mb/s external digital line either directly or through an office repeater, echo canceller or line terminating unit (LTU). Echo canceller interface Echo cancellers are required only on satellite transmission circuits. The echo canceller detects the length of the loop, and then cancels out reflected transmission. (Callers will not hear echoes of their own voices reflecting back to them from the far end of the call.) The echo cancellers control protocol must conform with that of the Tellabs Model 251. Both the echo canceller and the PRI circuit card act as data terminal equipment (DTEs).
QMT21 High Speed Data Module

The QMT21 High Speed Data Module supports the 64K Clear Data feature. (It allows data terminating equipment (DTE) to send and receive 64-Kb/s clear data.) The QMT21B is required for the SL-1 to SL-1 configurations.
QPC720 PRI for 1.5/2.0 Mb/s gateway

On Meridian 1 systems which are being used as a 1.5/2.0 Mb/s Gateway, one or more QPC720 (1.5 Mb/s) Primary Rate Interface circuit cards will also be needed. Further information on the QPC720, refer to 553-2901-200. Note: Older vintages of the QPC720 PRI can not be used for Gateway applications. The 1.5/2.0 Mb/s Gateway feature requires the use of a QPC720 circuit card with firmware updated to provide modified PAD values.

Clock operation
There are two types of clock operationtracking mode and free-run mode.
Tracking mode
In tracking mode, the PRI loop supplies an external clock reference to a clock controller. Two PRI loops can operate in tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference. As shown in the Figure 6, an SL-1 system with dual CPUs may have two clock controllers (CC-0 and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.

Free run (non-tracking) mode

The clock synchronization of the SL-1 may operate in free-run mode if: no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference, the primary and secondary references are disabled, or the primary and secondary references are in local alarm
Reference clock errors

SL-1 software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock -controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check can be configured in Overlay 73.) In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock-controller error is detected, the SL-1 switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which reference clock is being tracked. A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched.
Automatic clock recovery

A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in LD 60 with the command EREF. A PRI loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions: 1 If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on primary. If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.
Installation
If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode: 1 2 Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined. If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored to the secondary reference clock if defined. Note: If the switch was put into free-run mode intentionally by the craftsperson, it will resume tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has been "undefined" in the database.
Automatic clock switching

If the EREF command is selected in Overlay 60, tracking on the primary or secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner: 1 If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC maintenance messages. If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock, it switches to free run.
Disk drive hardware

The following hardware is required for Meridian 1 system options 21/21E, 51/51C, 61/61C, 71, 81 and for SL-1 systems NT and XT being upgraded to Group F (Phase 6) software (or later issues of software): 3.5-inch disk drive unit disk drive controller for above cable for above Group F software (or any later issue) on an ST does not require a 3.5-inch disk drive.

NTCK43 Dual-port PRI2 and NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card description

NTCK 43 Dual-port PRI2 card
The NTCK43 is a dual-port (two port) 2.0 Mbit Primary Rate Interface card supported on Meridian 1 Options 51/51C, 61/61C, 71, 81/81C and SL-1 N and T series systems. It reduces the PRI footprint by integrating the functionalities of two NT8D72 PRI cards and one QPC414 ENET into one card. The NTCK43 occupies a single Network shelf slot providing two primary rate network connections.
NTCK43 product compatibility

The NTCK43 DPRI supports all the functionality of the NT8D72BA PRI2 card, it is software independent and is compatible with Generic X81 Phase 6 and later software where the Downloadable DDCH Daughterboard is not required, and Generic X11 software Phase 8B or later where the on-board DCCH may be configured as an alternative to the standard MSDL. Earlier PRI cards may be mixed with the NTCK43 DPRI card on the same system type, where necessary. Due to cabling limitations it is not possible on a specific Dual PRI to connect both MSDL and non MSDL D-Channel handlers when external DCHIs are being used. e.g. It is not possible to have an MSDL D-Channel handler connected to Unit 0 and a NT6D11 type D-Channel handler connected to Unit 1.

Cable NTCK81 is used only in the situation where 1 Dual PRI provides both references to both CPUs, i.e.. where the Dual PRI is the sole source of clocking references for the system. If a system has other PRIs installed (DPRIs or NT8D72) other than the Dual PRI, it is recommended that one of the clocking references be taken from that other source. This will de-risk the impact of a Dual PRI card failure on the system. Note: When the Dual PRI cabling is completed, any connector that remain unterminated should have a protective plastic sleeve placed over the connector, to protect it from dust or from coming into contact with other voltages. An example of this might be when all of the connectors on the NTCK47 cable were not terminated.

Clocking for the NTCK43

Clock operation There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.
Tracking mode In tracking mode, the DPRI loop supplies an external clock reference to a clock controller. Two DPRI loops can operate in tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference.
As shown in Figure 9, a Meridian 1 or SL-1 system with dual CPUs may have two clock controllers (CC-0 and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.

Free run (non-tracking) mode The clock synchronization of the Meridian 1 may operate in free-run mode if:
no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference, the primary and secondary references are disabled, or the primary and secondary references are in local alarm Reference clock errors Meridian 1 software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock-controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check can be configured in Overlay 73.) In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock-controller error is detected, the Meridian 1 or SL-1 system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which reference clock is being tracked. A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched. Automatic clock recovery A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in Overlay 60 with the command EREF. A DPRI loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions: 1 If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on primary. If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.

If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode: 1 2 Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined. If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored to the secondary reference clock if defined. Note: If the switch was put into free-run mode intentionally by the craftsperson, it will resume tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has been "undefined" in the database. Automatic clock switching If the EREF command is selected in Overlay 60, tracking on the primary or secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner: 1 If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC maintenance messages. If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock, it switches to free run.
Clocking configurations The following Clock Controller configurations are possible: a Single CPU System. a Dual CPU System. A single CPU system has one Clock Controller card. This card can receive references clocks from two sources referred to as the primary and secondary sources. These two sources can originate from a PRI, DTI etc. PRI cards such as the NT8D72 are capable of supplying 2 references of the same clock source. These are known as Ref1 (available at J1) and Ref2 (available at J2) on the NT8D72. The Dual PRI is capable of supplying two references from each clock source i.e. four references in total. Dual PRI can thus supply Ref1 and Ref2 from its Primary and Ref1 and Ref2 from its Secondary. There are two Clock Controller Cables, namely NTCK47 & NTCK81.

NTBK51AA DDCH and the NTCK43

An optional two port Downloadable D-Channel Daughterboard (DDCH, NTBK51AA) has been introduced to be used with the NTCK43 DPRI in configurations where an MSDL is used instead of an external DCHI card. The NTBK51 DDCH daughterboard is a 2 port MSDL card supporting all the features of the existing 4 port MSDL (NT6D80), and eliminating the need for an external DCHI card and associated cables for MSDL applications. DDCH can support a maximum of 32 (16*2) MSDL type D-Channels per system, unlike MSDL which can support a maximum of 64. Note: Only one version, the NTBK51AA, can be used in with the NTCK43 card. The newer NTBK51BA version has only 30+30 pin connectors (instead of 40+30 pins in the AA version). The missing 10 pins in the BA version prohibits usage of port 0 on the NTCK43 card.

NT5D97 Dual-port DTI2/PRI2 card

The NT5D97 is a dual-port 2.0 Mbit DTI2/PRI2 card (the DDP2 firmware functions in DTI2 or PRI2 mode, depending on DIP switch settings) integrating the functionality of two QPC536E DTI2 cards or two NT8D72BA PRI2 cards, and one QPC414 ENET card, into a single CE card. The NT5D97 occupies a single slot in the Network shelf, providing two DTI2/PRI2 network connections, an interface to an external D-Channel Handler (the NT6D11AF/NT5K75AA/NT5K35AA DCH card or the NT6D80 Multi-purpose Serial Data Link card), and an optional plug-on NTBK51AA Downloadable D-Channel daughterboard (DDCH) with two DCH interface ports. The NT5D97 DDP2 card may be mixed in the same machine with earlier DTI2 (QPC536E) cards or PRI2 (NT8D72BA) cards, and the NTCK43 dual-port PRI2 (DPRI) card. The NT5D97 DDP2 card hardware design uses a B57 ASIC E1/T1 framer. The carrier specifications comply with the ANSI TI.403 specification. The NT5D97 provides an interface to the 2.048 Mbps external digital line either directly or through an office repeater, Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Line Terminating Unit (LTU). CAUTION
The NT5D97 DDP2 card is not designed to be directly connected to the Public Switched Network, or other exposed plant networks. Such a connection should only be done using an isolating-type networking terminating device that provides voltage surge protection, such as a Line Terminating Unit (LTU), Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE), or Network Termination 1 (NT1), as certified by your local, regional, or national safety agency and telecommunications authority.
Supported functionalities
The NT5D97 supports the following functionalities and capabilities: Supports configuration of any combination of the two PRI2/DTI2 loops on the pack. Both loops may configured as PRI2 or DTI2, or one of the loops may be configured as DTI2 and the other as PRI2.
Installation
Interfaces to the M1 network bus, and performs switching between the network bus and the two 2Mbit carriers (60 channels). Performs the Power Up selftest. Performs Signal Scan and Distribution (SSD). SSD is the generic name for messages from the SL-1 CPU and Peripheral Equipment cards input/output messages. Supports the Continuity test, and Bypass operation. Supports the Time Switch Memory (TSM) test. Processes alarm conditions raised by the 2Mbit drivers. Performs the setting and controlling of Card Leds. Supports 32 Pads on a per channel basis, and A law to/from law conversions. Performs Loop/channel tests, Echo tests, Near-end tests, Far-end tests, and Loop-back tests. Controls the connection of the reference clock to the Clock Controller. Supports TS16 signalling, and ABCD bits (in DTI2 mode only). Performs the on-board Digit Outpulsing (without using the Tone and Digit Switch card) and the on-board Digit Collection, when operating with the Meridian 1 software Releases X11 21 or later 1 (in DTI2 mode only). The features are activated by setting the CDTI2 prompt in the Overlay 73 to YES and defining the DIPF Class Of Service for the dial pulse trunks on the DDP2 DTI2 loop (the QPC536E uses the Tone and Digit Switch card for the Digit Outpulsing and does not support the on-board Digit Collection). Supports the Cyclic Redundancy Check 4 (CRC4) alarm mode (in DTI2 mode only), if the CDTI2 prompt in the Overlay 73 is set to YES. Supports connection to the external D-Channel handling devices (DCHI/ MSDL card), and to the optional NTBK51AA Downloadable D-Channel daughterboard (DDCH) (in PRI2 mode only).
1. A patch is required for the earlier MSL-1 / Meridian 1 software releases to support the DDP2 operating in the DTI2 Dial Pulse register signalling. The patch is designed to send the digit outpulsing requests to the DDP2 pack instead of performing the outpulsing driven by the TDS card.

Installation
External D-Channel Interface (DCHI or MSDL)

The connection between the DDP2 card and the external DCHI or MSDL is via a 26 pin female D type connector. The data signals conform to the electrical characteristics of the EIA standard RS-422. Two control signals are used to communicate the D-Channel link status to the DCHI or MSDL. These are: Receiver Ready (RR), originating at the DDP2 card, to indicate to the DCHI or MSDL that the D-channel link is operational. Transmitter Ready (TR), originating at the DCHI or MSDL, to indicate to the DDP2 card that the DCHI or MSDL are ready to use the D-Channel link.
Table 11 indicates how the RR control signal operates with regard to the DDP2 status.

On-board NTBK51AA D-Channel Handler Daughterboard

The optional dual-port Downloadable D-Channel daughterboard (DDCH, NTBK51AA) can be used with the NT5D97 DDP2 in system hardware configurations as an alternative to an MSDL or a DCHI card (refer to Hardware required for DDP2 configuration on page 65 for possible configurations). Note: Only one version, the NTBK51AA, can be used in DDP2 cards. The newer NTBK51BA version has only 30+30 pin connectors (instead of 40+30 pins in the AA version). The missing 10 pins in the BA version prohibits usage of port 0 on the DDP2 card. The NTBK51AA DDCH daughterboard is a two-port D-Channel Handler card supporting all the features of the existing four port MSDL (NT6D80). It eliminates the need for a D-Channel Handler or an MSDL card, and associated cables. The NTBK51AA can support a maximum of 32 (16*2) D-Channels per system (the MSDL can support a maximum of 64). Note 1: The software allocation for NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to the MSDL. It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel functionality only. Note 2: Port 0 has to be an even loop on the DDP2, and Port 1 has to be an odd loop. Port 2 and Port 3 should not be configured. The connection between the DDP2 card and the DDCH daughterboard is made using two headers: one 30 pin and one 40 pin connector. The main functions of the card are: Dual-port Serial Communication Controller message handling with DMA for support of 2 D-channels; Sanity check and Self Tests; Program download from the Meridian 1 CPU; Serial maintenance port (for debugging purposes).

System capacity and performance

Physical capacity Each NT5D97 DDP2 card occupies one slot on the network shelf. Each card supports two digital trunk circuits and two network loops. The total number of DDP2 cards per system is limited by the number of network loops, physical capacity of the shelf, number of DTI2/PRI2 interfaces allowed by the software and the range of DCH addresses. D-Channel capacity The software configuration for the NTBK51AA DDCH is similar to the MSDL. It is both physical and logical, and supports D-Channel functionality only. Meridian 1 has a total capacity of 16 addresses (Device Addresses or DNUM) that may be reserved for DCHI card, MSDL card or DDCH card. One exception is DNUM 0 which is commonly assigned to the TTY terminal. No two different D-Channel providers can share the same DNUM. Hence, the combined maximum number of DCHI, MSDL and DDCH cards in the system is 16. The DCHI has one D-Channel unit, the DDCH has two D-Channel units, and the MSDL has up to four. Therefore the total number of D-Channel in a Meridian 1 is derived by the following formula:
Total_Num_DCH-Units = Num_DCHIx1 + Num_DDCHx2 + Num_MSDLx4
Therefore, Total_Num_DCH-Units in any given system is between 0-63. CPU capacity Using a NT5D97 DDP2 card instead of DTI2/PRI2 cards does not increase the load on the Meridian 1 CPU. The DDP2 replaces an ENET card and two DTI2/PRI2 cards. Emulating the ENET card and the overall CPU capacity is not impacted by using a DDP2 card instead of a DTI2/PRI2 card.

Cabling diagrams
Figure 22 and Figure 23 provide examples of typical cabling configurations for the DDP2. Figure 22 shows a typical DDP2 cabling for a Meridian 1 system Option with an I/O panel, with the connection between the I/O panel and a Network Channel Terminating Equipment (NCTE). Figure 23 shows cabling for a Meridian 1/Meridian SL-1 system without an I/O panel. Here, the DDP2 faceplate is cabled directly to the NCTE. Note: Since there exists several clock cabling options, none has been represented in the diagrams. Please refer to Clocking configurations on page 84 for a description on each available option.

Clocking for the NT5D97

Clock operation There are two types of clock operation - tracking mode and free-run mode.
Tracking mode In tracking mode, the DDP2 loop supplies an external clock reference to a clock controller. Two DDP2 loops can operate in tracking mode, with one defined as the primary reference source for clock synchronization, the other defined as the secondary reference source. The secondary reference acts as a back-up to the primary reference.
As shown in Figure 24, a Meridian 1 or Meridian SL-1 system with dual CPUs may have two clock controllers (CC-0 and CC-1). One clock controller acts as a back-up to the other. The clock controllers should be completely locked to the reference clock.
Installation

Free run (non-tracking) mode The clock synchronization of the Meridian 1 or Meridian SL-1 may operate in free-run mode if:
no loop is defined as the primary or secondary clock reference, the primary and secondary references are disabled, or the primary and secondary references are in local (near end) alarm Reference clock errors Meridian 1 software checks at intervals of 1 to 15 minutes to see if a clock controller or reference-clock error has occurred. (The interval of this check can be configured in Overlay 73). In tracking mode, at any one time, there is one active clock controller which is tracking on one reference clock. If a clock controller error is detected, the Meridian 1 or Meridian SL-1 system switches to the back-up clock controller, without affecting which reference clock is being tracked. A reference-clock error occurs when there is a problem with the clock driver or with the reference clock at the far end. If the clock controller detects a reference-clock error, the reference clocks are switched. Automatic clock recovery A command for automatic clock recovery can be selected in Overlay 60 with the command EREF. A DDP2 loop is disabled when it enters a local-alarm condition. If the local alarm is cleared, the loop is enabled automatically. When the loop is enabled, clock tracking is restored in the following conditions: If the loop is assigned as the primary reference clock but the clock controller is tracking on the secondary reference or in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on primary. If the loop is assigned as the secondary reference clock but the clock controller is in free-run mode, it is restored to tracking on secondary.
Installation
If the clock check indicates the switch is in free-run mode: Tracking is restored to the primary reference clock if defined. If the primary reference is disabled or in local alarm, tracking is restored to the secondary reference clock if defined.
Note: If the Meridian 1 or Meridian SL-1 was put into free-run mode intentionally by the craftsperson, it will resume tracking on a reference clock unless the clock-switching option has been disabled (LD 60, command MREF), or the reference clock has been undefined in the database. Automatic clock switching If the EREF command is selected in Overlay 60, tracking on the primary or secondary reference clock is automatically switched in the following manner: If software is unable to track on the assigned primary reference clock, it switches to the secondary reference clock and sends appropriate DTC maintenance messages. If software is unable to track on the assigned secondary reference clock, it switches to free run. Clocking configurations Clock Controllers may be used in a single CPU system or a dual CPU system. A single CPU system has one Clock Controller card. This card can receive references clocks from two sources referred to as the primary and secondary sources. These two sources can originate from a PRI2, DTI2, etc. PRI2 cards such as the NT8D72BA are capable of supplying two references of the same clock source. These are known as Ref1 (available at J1) and Ref2 (available at J2) on the NT8D72BA. The NT5D97 card is capable of supplying two references from each clock source, i.e., four references in total. NT5D97 can thus supply Clk0 and Clk1 from Unit 0 and Clk0 and Clk1 from Unit 1. Either Unit 0 or Unit 1 can originate primary source, as shown in Figure 25 through Figure 28. There is one Clock Controller cable required for the DDP2 card, which is available in four sizes; this is the NTCG03AA/AB/AC/AD. Refer to Reference clock cables on page 75 for more information.

Note to installers Before beginning an installation, do the following: Consult the Spares Planning Guide (553-3001-153) document and follow the instructions. Bring spares of all cables and boards. Remember that test procedures require a 24-hour minimum bit error-rate testing before being used. See the International PRI Administration (553-2901-301) for these test procedures. Either the DDCH, the MSDL, or the NTCK43 or NT5D97 card may be installed first. However, NTCK43 or NT5D97 PRI2 loops must be configured in software before defining DCH links. The only version of the NTBK51 DDCH that can be used on an NTCK43 or NT5D97 is the NTBK51AA. Vintage NTBK51BA cannot be used, due to a different pin configuration (the NTBK51BA is used on the Meridian 1 Option 11C.)

PRI and clock controller installation: 21/21E and ST/STE

Note: For information on the installation of the QPC720 PRI card (if required for the 1.5/2.0 Mb/s Gateway feature), refer to 553-2901-200.
PRI circuit pack locations

Each PRI circuit pack requires two adjacent slots on a shelf. PRI packs can be placed in: System option 21/21E: slots in NT8D11 Common/Peripheral Equipment Module and NT8D47 Remote Peripheral Equipment Module SL-1 systems ST/STE: slots in the Common Equipment (CE) and DTI Expansion Tier
Cable requirements
Shielded 22 AWG (0.644 mm) cables NT8D7205 and NT8D7206 are recommended for connecting the PRI to the cross-connect point. These cables consist of two twisted-pair conductors (to manufacture cables of lengths different than those of the standard cables provided, see the "Non-standard cables" section of this practice.) The transmit and the receive pairs must be enclosed in a polyvinyl jacket. This type of cable is commonly referred to as "6-conductor" cable. The cable should be grounded at the cross-connect point. In addition to twisted-pair conductors, 75-ohm coaxial cable can also be used to provide connection to the office repeater or line terminating unit (LTU).

The PRI circuit pack occupies two adjacent slots on a shelf. As many as five circuit packs can be plugged into an empty Network shelf, along with a Power Converter circuit pack. Specific locations will depend on available space. Note: Due to physical width, Bus Terminating Units (BTUs) and PRIs cannot fit next to each other on a shelf. This section includes instructions for installing an additional Network shelf in Meridian 1 system options 51/51C, 61/61C and SL-1 NT (when no vacant positions are available to install PRI packs, additional Network shelves can replace Peripheral Equipment shelves located on the rear of the Common Equipment or Disk shelves). If an additional cabinet is required to install more Network shelves, use a QPC58 cabinet.
Cable requirements
Shielded 22 AWG (0.644 mm) cables NT8D7205 and NT8D7207 are recommended for connecting the PRI to the cross-connect point. This cable consists of two twisted-pair conductors. The transmit and the receive pairs must be enclosed in a polyvinyl jacket. This type of cable is commonly referred to as "6-conductor" cable. The cable should be grounded at the cross-connect point.

PRI and clock controller installation: 71 and XT


The PRI circuit pack occupies two adjacent slots on a shelf. As many as three circuit packs can be plugged into an empty Network shelf, along with a Power Converter circuit pack. Specific locations will depend on available space. Note: Due to physical width, Bus Terminating Units (BTUs) and PRIs cannot fit next to each other on a shelf. When no vacant positions are available to install PRI packs, additional Network shelves can replace Peripheral Equipment shelves located on the rear of the Common Equipment or Disk shelves. If an additional cabinet is required to install more Network shelves, use a QPC108 cabinet with Meridian 1 system option 71 or the SL-1 XT.
Cable requirements
Shielded 22 AWG (0.644 mm) cables NT8D7205 and NT8D7207 are recommended for connecting the PRI to the cross-connect point. These cables consists of two twisted-pair conductors. The transmit and the receive pairs must be enclosed in a polyvinyl jacket. This type of cable is commonly referred to as "6-conductor" cable. The cable should be grounded at the cross-connect point.
Installation
Page 146 of 222 PRI and clock controller installation: 71 and XT
In addition to twisted-pair conductors, 75-ohm coaxial cable can also be used to provide connection to the office repeater or line terminating unit (LTU). To manufacture cables of lengths different than those of the standard cables provided, see Section 9 of this practice. See Figure 41 and Figure 42 for cabling arrangements applying to Meridian 1 system option 71 and the SL-1 XT; also refer to Table 31.

Installation
S3: On-board DDCH address switch This switch sets the address of the DDCH daughtercard only. It does not set the address of external D Channel handlers which are used with the Dual PRI. If external D Channel handlers are used then their address is set on the external DCHI card itself. This address corresponds to the DNUM (0-15) that is assigned to Unit 0 of the DDCH during configuration. As a DDCH has 2 D Channels it is half the capacity of the MSDL but then it does not take up a cardslot. Address 0 is not normally assigned to the DDCH as it is commonly assigned to the System Terminal TTY0. The DDCH Address (0-15) is set on S3 lower 8 switch positions, S3 (1-8) in Binary format, i.e. S3-1 is the Least Significant Bit. Thus S3 positions 5-8 will be always ON (towards the faceplate). DDCH address can be in the range binary 0000 (Zero) to 1111 (Fifteen). If the DDCH is not installed then the address set on the S3 switch does not matter. However if the DDCH is installed but not used then the address set on S3 should not conflict with any other DCHI address. Note: S3 (9-10) are not used and are spare. Note: The DDCH Address is set by setting the relevant positions of S3 to OFF. Example 1: Setting up an address (DNUM) of "15" for the DDCH requires switch S3 positions 1, 2, 3 & 4 away from the Faceplate (OFF) and setting S3 positions 5-8 towards the Faceplate (ON). Example 2: Setting up an address (DNUM) of "9" for the DDCH requires switch S3 positions 1 & 4 away from the Faceplate (OFF) and setting S3 positions 2,3, 5-8 towards the Faceplate (ON). Table 37 gives a summary of the S3 on-board switch functions.

Replacement of a digital trunk (NT8D72BA/QPC536E) by a DDP2 card, case scenarios

The following discussion describes possible scenarios when replacing a digital trunk NT8D72BA PRI2 card or QPC536E DTI2 card configuration with a NT5D97 DDP2 card configuration. Case 1 - The two ports of a QPC414 network card are connected to two digital trunks. In this case, the QPC414 and the two digital trunks are replaced by a single DDP2 card, which is plugged into the network shelf in the QPC414 slot. Case 2 - One port of the QPC414 card is connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. Both cards are in network loop location. In this case, the QPC414 should not be removed. The digital trunk is removed and the DDP2 card is plugged into one of the two empty slots. Case 3 - The network shelf is full, one port of a QPC414 network card is connected to a digital trunk, and the second is connected to a peripheral buffer. This arrangement is repeated for another QPC414. The digital trunks are located in a shelf that provides only power. In this case, the peripheral buffers will have to be re-assigned, so that each pair of buffers will use both ports of the same QPC414 card. The other QPC414 card may then be replaced by the NT5D97 DDP2. Note in all cases - If an NT8D72BA card is being replaced by a DDP2 card, the D-Channel Handler or MSDL may be either reconnected to the DDP2 card, or removed if an onboard NTBK51AA DDCH card is used.
Installation
DDP2 switch settings

The the NT5D97 DDP2 card is equipped with 6x2 sets of DIP switches for trunk parameters settings for port0 and port1 respectively. Additionally, the DDP2 card is equipped with one set of four DIP switches for the Ring Ground setting and one set of eight DIP switches for the D-Channel Handler parameters setting. The DIP switches are used for setting of default values of certain parameters. The general purpose switches are read by the firmware which sets the default values accordingly. The parameters as shown in the tables that follow are set by the DIP switches. Factory setups are shown in bold. Note: There is no switch setting required to select between the on-board NTBK51AA D-Channel daughterboard, and an external DCHI/MSDL. The NT5D97 automatically detects when the on-board NTBK51AA D-Channel daughterboard is used.

Installing the NT5D97 DDP2

CAUTION
Step 1 Action Determine the cabinet and shelf location where the DDP2 is to be installed. The DDP2 can be installed in any card slot in the Network bus. Unpack and inspect circuit cards and cables. If a DDCH is to be installed, refer to the section NTBK51AA DDCH Installation and Removal for the NTCK43 and NT5D97 on page 103. Set the option switches on the DDP2 circuit card before installation. Refer to DDP2 switch settings on page 182. The ENB/DIS (enable/disable faceplate switch) must be OFF (DIS) when installing the DDP2, otherwise a system initialize may occur. The ENB/DIS on the DDP2 corresponds to the faceplate switch on the QPC414 Network card. 5 6 Install DDP2 circuit card in the assigned shelf and slot. Set the ENB/DIS faceplate switch to ON. If the DDCH is installed, the DDCH LED should flash three times. 7 8 If required, install the I/O adapters in the I/O panel. Run and connect the DDP2 cables. Refer to the section Cabling requirements on page 66 for cable lengths and attributes.

Removing the NT5D97 DDP2

CAUTION
Step 1 2 Action Determine the cabinet and shelf location of the DDP2 card to be removed. Disable Network Loop using Overlay 60. The command is DISL loop number. The associated DCHI may have to be disabled first. The faceplate switch ENB/DIS should not be disabled until both PRI2/DTI2 loops are disabled first. 3 If the DDP2 card is being completely removed, not replaced, remove data from memory. Refer to the International PRI Features Description and Administration NTP (553-2901-301). Remove cross connections at MDF to wall-mounted cross-connect terminal. Tag and disconnect cables from card. Rearrange Clock Controller cables if required.
4 5 6
CAUTION
Clock Controller cables connecting the Clock Controller and DDP2 card must NOT be routed through the center of the cabinet past the power harness. Instead they should be routed around the outside of the equipment shelves.
7 Remove the DDP2 card only if both loops are disabled. If the other circuit of a DDP2 card is in use, DO NOT remove the card. The Faceplate switch ENB/DIS must be in the OFF (DIS) position before the card is removed, otherwise the system will initialize. Pack and store the DDP2 card and circuit card.
Installation
Configuring the NT5D97 DDP2

After the NT5D97 DDP2 has been installed, the system may be configured using the same procedures as for the standard NT8D72BA PRI2 and QPC536E DTI2 card. Refer to the International ISDN PRI2 Feature description and Administration NTP (553-2901-301). Consider the following when configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 card: The Meridian 1 software allows four ports to be defined for the NT6D80 MSDL. The DDCH (NTBK51AA) card has only two ports, 0 and 1; therefore, ports 2 and 3 must not be defined when using the NTBK51AA; Port 0 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 0 of the NT5D97 DDP2 card, and Port 1 of the NTBK51AA can only be defined to work with Loop 1 of the NT5D97. This relationship must be reflected when configuring a new DCH in overlay 17 (in response to the DCHL prompt, enter either 0 or 1 when specifying the loop number used by the DCH); You cannot define one of the DDP2 loops for the NTBK51AA DDCH, and the other loop for the NT6D11AF/NT5K75AA/NT5K35AA DCH card or the NT6D80 MSDL. When configuring the NT5D97 DDP2 in DTI2 outgoing dial pulse mode, a Digit Outpulsing patch is required.

Shared mode
In shared mode, the D-channel is provided by the DCHI or MSDL card and PRI. The hardware configuration is basically the same as the ISDN PRI D-channel. See Figure 53. Shared mode is established through service change in LD17, prompt USR, with the response SHA. In the shared mode, the DCH can share signaling for no more than 382 trunks, including digital and analog.

Dedicated mode using leased line

In this configuration, the D-channel connects the DCHI or MSDL to a modem which communicates with a far-end modem over a dedicated leased line. See Figure 54. A 2400 baud D-channel can support signaling for approximately 700 trunks without non-call associated messages. Both modems should be set in the synchronous mode.

Dedicated mode using dial-up modem

In this configuration, the DCHI or MSDL is connected to a modem which is connected to a 500 set line card. See Figure 55. The call is connected to the far end through the 500 set-to-TIE trunk path. To set up the D-channel, program the modem at one end in the auto-dial mode, so it automatically initiates a call to the other end at power up. The auto-dial DN must be coordinated with personnel at the far end switch. Installing the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 The software and hardware of the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 must be installed sequentially. The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 software must be defined before the hardware connection between the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and the Meridian 1 can be made. Within the software installation, either the autodial or the autoanswer software can be set up first. Examples of parameters used for actual autoanswer and autodial sites are shown on the following pages. The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 User's Guide contains explanations of the parameters used. After the software parameters have been set up, the JP1 jumpers behind the front faceplate of the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 must be dumb strapped on both modems. Then see the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 Getting Started Guide to set up the hardware between the Meridian 1 and the modem. Note: The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 cannot be used on leased, conditioned lines.

Dedicated mode using DTI2 trunks

In this configuration, the DCHI or MSDL is connected to an High Speed Data Module (HSDM) or Asynchronous/Synchronous Interface Module (ASIM). See Figure 56. The HSDM or ASIM is connected to a Data Line Card (DLC). The call is then connected to the far end through the DLC to DTI trunk path. To establish the D-channel in this configuration, set up the HSDM or ASIM at one end in hot line mode. The hot line DN must be coordinated with personnel at the far end, then programmed in LD11. The preprogrammed hot line DN is dialed by the Meridian 1. If the call cannot be established, the Meridian 1 continues to dial the hot line number continuously until the call is connected. Set the HSDM or ASIM must be in synchronous mode. A data rate of 9.6 Kbps is recommended because it provides internal error detection and correction. The following data rates are also supported: 1.2 Kbps, 2.4 Kbps, 3.6 Kbps, 4.8 Kbps, 7.2 Kbps, 14.4 Kbps, 19.2 Kbps, 38.4 Kbps, and 56 Kbps for ASIM. The High Speed Data Module (HSDM) supports 64 Kbps. Note 1: This configuration is the least reliable due to the lockup problems inherent in Smart Modems from power splices and noisy lines. To increase the reliability on this configuration, a constant power source can be used when powering the modems. Also ensure that the TIE lines meet data grade specifications. Note 2: Northern Telecom takes no responsibility for ISL D-channel outages due to modem lockup.

ISL installation
The following procedures explain the installation for ISL in both dedicated and shared modes. Modem paths must have individual configurations: route data blocks, trunks, routes, etc.
ISL dedicated mode (digital and analog)

DTI should already be up and running.
1 In LD17, configure ISL for dedicated mode. USR ISLD ISLM Number of trunks handled by this D-Channel (1-382) In LD16, configure the Route Data Block to map out the software parameters for these trunks. Install the modem with leased line functionality. In LD14, reassign old trunks to the routes just built in LD16. In LD16, out the old DTI route. A separate Route Data Block should be built for Leased Line, or to accommodate the dialing plan for a dedicated modem.
2 3 4 5
ISL shared mode

DTI or PRI should already be up and running.
1 2 In LD14, remove the PRI trunks. In LD17, configure ISL for dedicated mode. USR SHA ISLM Number of trunks handled by this D-Channel (1-382) In LD16, build a PRI route data block. This is the same route you just removed in step 1. ISDN YES In LD16 build another route data block to correspond to the IAS routes. In LD14, assign trunks to the newly configured routes.

Echo canceller installation

Echo cancellers are required only in cases where satellite transmission is being used. The echo canceller detects the length of the loop, and cancels out transmission reflections (which result in audible echoes of voices on satellite-carried calls).
Echo canceller operating parameters

The operational parameters of the echo canceller must be: Data transfer rate: System unit number: Display time-out: Failures before alarm: 4800 baud 1 active 3
Echo canceller initialization procedures

Each of the 24 channels on the echo canceller must be initialized as shown here: Bypass: Off-hook: Canceller only: H reset: H hold: OFF ON OFF OFF OFF
