E1 Transmission Format
A Frame;

An E1 system consists of 32 time slots which contain the 64 kbit/s consecutive samples. This is called a frame.
The Transmission Rate; When combined together 32 time slots x 64 Kbits/s = 2048 Kbits/s which is the speed of the E-1 transmission system. ITU-T Specifications; ITU-T Rec. G.703 Bit rate: 2048 Kbit/s Line Code: HDB3 (high density bipolar 3)

PIA Replacement Tips

Can not be managed by MSTE Always check strapping of removed unit and change where different on replacement unit ON/OFF switch is physically locked into ON position by a retaining bar. However it is a toggle type and therefore it is possible that it has tripped to the OFF state while physically remaining in the ON position. Releasing from the retaining bar and resetting trip is obtained by physically moving position to OFF and back to ON.

Alarms and LEDs

Operation of service LEDs The red service LED of the MCU is lit when there is a serious fault in the equipment. If the MCU is powered up and the red LED still stays on, the unit should be replaced. The red LED on a DYNACARD (PIU) unit indicates that either there is a serious fault in the unit or the unit has not been added to the equipment configuration. Note: The red LED of any unit is lit when an external power supply fails to provide the operating voltages required. The yellow service LED is lit when the unit has detected a fault outside the equipment (the incoming signal may be faulty, for example). Some of the services may still be functioning quite normally and further actions are needed for locating the fault.

The green service LED is lit when the unit is accessed by the Service Terminal or MSTE, or the Nokia DCNA
Connection to the DCNA does not activate the green LED in all cases.

Service Terminal Overview

Nokia TC21700 Service terminal (ST) Used to make configuration changes on Nokia Dynanet equipment (Network Element NE) MODE key to setup ST or check battery charge etc. OBJ key to connect to the equipment: Connect cable to SI (Service Interface) on NE Obj2,address to connect properly OR as a last resort (ensuring no other management connections) Obj7, Connect on default address 4095 TOP key, once connected to NE to access NEs configuration menu Use the menu structure to show configuration. Menu differs between different types of card.

All service menus shown in the relevant Nokia manual

Node Managers
DN2 Node Manager GUI MSTE GUI

As you can see from above the DN2 NM gives you a shelf layout of the Data Cards. MSTE is essentially the mml tool you will use to switch on/off channels, change settings etc.

DN2 Branching
The DN 2 uses Tables to set up communications. These tables consist of different branches to allow this. the following are common branching types used within connect: Ordinary through connections (B-type) Digital common channels (C-type) Loopback (L-type) Protection switch (Y-type) To Site B Mask (M-type) Examples:1 B2 Branch 1 2 Site A DN2 VF 3

Y Branch
To Site C

DN2 Commissioning Tips

Always Default unit Top 6,6,121 RET Install All Units Top 6,2,0 Set Q1 Address & Baud Rate Set up Synch Plan Set up Ports for MF Use, CRC etc Is Dynacard bus being used ? (If No the Dynacards can`t be used) Clear alarms using local loopback`s where possible. Set up Dynacards & Ports and activate channels Add cross-connects in DN2 Tables Check Dynacard circuits work locally (where possible) around a 2 Mg Loop before extending. Backup up DN2 Tables after new circuit additions & removals Perform routine SW backups of DN2`s.

DN2 Manager

Connect to DN2 Node

1.

2.

3.

Open DN2 Manager from the start menu or from a desktop shortcut. Select the Connect button to open the Nokia connection tool window. Select the type of connection and enter the address of the DN2 to connect to.

DN2 Manager connected

Once connected to the DN2 node, the manager should look similar to this. Any installed cards will be shown. (BPU/EBPU or PIA are not shown)

Synchronization

To check/set synchronization select the synchronization button. The synchronization window will open.

Here you can set the priority list for the timing sources.

Send to Node

Any changes made to settings within the DN2 Node Manager must be sent to the Node for the settings to come into effect. This is done using the Send to Node button. Until this is done the settings are only be stored in the Node Manager.

Port Settings

To check/set IU2 Port setting select the Ports view button or ConfigurePorts view via the menu bar. The settings for all IU2 ports that are installed will be displayed. Double click inside a ports column to change settings.

Changing Port settings

From this window the setting for the individual port can be set. The interface can be brought in/out of use and any TS0 settings for embedded management or Loop synchronization set.

Questions?

Select a Table to add cross connects

To add/view cross connects we need to select a Table to edit.

Open the Connection Tables view.

To make the cross connects part of the live network then the Activated table must be edited. Double click on the table to edit

Cross connects Connections View

The cross connects for that table will be displayed in a list.

Cross connects Graphical View

A graphical view of the cross connects can be seen by selecting the Graphical connections view button

Adding cross connects

A new cross connect is done by selecting the button for the type of cross connect you wish to set. B C D Y

B Type Cross Connect

The B type cross connect window. The Connection Point window

Y2M Type Cross Connect

A Y2M connection is used when setting protected routes for circuits. Conditions are set to decide on how the active link is decided

C Type Cross Connect

The C type cross connect window.

C0 = Point to multipoint C2 = Multipoint to multipoint

Alarms

By selecting the Alarms view button a list of any alarms on the DN2 will be displayed, including those of any Dynacards that are installed.

Save as function

The Save as function is used to save cross-connect/port settings made on the DN2 and allows Off-line configuration with the node manager.

Open a saved configuration file

To open a previously saved configuration select the Open button and select the .dn2 file for the saved node.

Off-line Configuration

File Connection displays in the manager window and the cursor displays file to show that you are configuring from file.

Backup the DN2 Node

The backup facility allows us to save the complete configuration of the DN2 node (including Dynacard settings) and restore it to a new or repaired node in a catastrophic incident.

Restore the DN2 Node

The Restore facility allows us to restore the complete configuration of a DN2 node to a new or repaired node.
