Chapter 1 Product Description

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1.1 Description
Loop-ETM E1 is a family of intelligent Fractional E1 Channel Service Unit and Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU)
products as shown in Table 1-1. This product family provides an E1 network interface, DS0 channel
multiplexing, D&I (Drop and Insert) functionality, and direct connections to voice, data, and video DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment), as well as E1 channel bank and PBX (Private Branch Exchanges).

Table 1- 1 Loop-E1200 Product Family


Model NI (Network Interface) D&I (Drop and Insert) DTE Ports
201B BNC 75 ohm NO 2 ( 2 optional )
202B BNC 75 ohm YES 2 ( 2 optional )
201T Twisted pair 120 ohm NO 2 ( 2 optional )
202T Twisted pair 120 ohm YES 2 ( 2 optional )

Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU is equipped with local and remote console capability through RS232 interface. An
optional embedded SNMP (Simplified Network Management Protocol) Agent with SLIP (Serial Line Internet
Protocol) software is available to access Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU from SNMP Manager. An optional remote
software download feature is available to upgrade new releases of software from remote sites.

1.2 Applications
A typical Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU application example is illustrated in Figure 1.1. Via DACS (Digital Access
Cross-Connect System), The Loop-E interfaces various applications such as LAN (Local Area Network) to
WAN (Wide Area Network) communications, host to workstation communications, video conferencing, and
integrated voice, using a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), and data communication. This enables integration
of different applications into a single communication link using partial available bandwidth. Furthermore, this
enables expansion of bandwidth, up to 31 DS0 channels, on demand without additional physical link concerns
because the hardware is already available. Voice applications may include equipment such as PBX, Channel
Bank, and Multiplexer. Data and video applications may include equipment such as video conferencing,
bridge, router, gateway, workstation, host computer, and various high-speed data terminal equipment.
Figures 1.2 to 1.4 illustrate some of these applications.

2.1. Site Selection


The following list indicates a site selection guideline. Use these guidelines to select a proper installation site.

The installation site should have a 220V AC power receptacle for optional AC/DC power supply, or a
-48V DC power supply.

The maximum suggested cable lengths are as follows.

1. V.35 Cable 200 Feet


2. RS-449 200 Feet
3. RS-232 100 Feet

NOTE: Longer distances are achievable using a lower than maximum speed with
proper cabling and grounding. For more information, please contact your
service representative for more information.

The installation site should provide proper room for adequate ventilation and cable routing. Reserve at
least 5 inches (13cm) at the rear of the unit for cables and air flow.

The site should provide a stable environment. The operating area should be clean and free from extremes
of temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration.

Relatively humidity should stay between 0 and 95%. Do not operate the unit at an altitude greater than
10,000 feet (3048m).

3 OPERATION
This chapter describes the Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU configuration options and operational functions. Refer to
Chapter 5 Front Panel Operation and Chapter 6 Terminal Operation for detailed operational procedures.

3.1 System Operation


3.1.1 Date
This product is equipped with an RTC (Real Time Clock). The current date and time can be changed as
necessary. The RTC is activated at the factory before the unit is shipped. This is done to save the RTC
battery life. The RTC battery has a power off life cycle of 10 years. For detailed operation of the RTC,
please refer to Section 5.10 or Section 6.19.

3.1.2 Master Clock


This product has a system clock PLL (Phase Lock Loop) which may be phase locked to one of five
settings: the E1 line clock, Drop and Insert clock, DTE clock, internal clock, or external clock. The E1
line clock, Drop and Insert clock, and internal clock are all 2.048 Mbps. The DTE clock is either 56KxN,
or 64KxN bps (N is 1 to 31) as per the DTE rate configuration. Furthermore, the external clock rate can
be 56KxN or 64KxN bps (N is from 1 to 32), or 8.192 Mbps. For detailed operation of the master clock,
please refer to Section 5.5 or Section 6.17. The default master and 2nd clock source are set to the E1
line clock. The default external clock frequency is 2.048 Mbps.

When the master clock source is lost, the system will automatically switch to the 2nd clock source. This
is to provide an alternative clock source when the primary clock source is lost. The current active clock
source is shown by the LCD "MCLK" command and terminal "S" and "C" commands. If a 2nd clock
source is not necessary, the 2nd clock source MUST be the same as the master clock source. When
the 2nd clock source is lost as well, the Loop-ETM E1 will switch to the internal clock source
automatically. The Loop-ETM E1 will automatically switch back to the 2nd clock source when it is
resumed.

For E1 line and Drop and Insert master clock source ONLY, the system will automatically switch back to
it when it is resumed and stable for longer than 1 minute. To switch the active clock source from the
2nd clock back to the master clock immediately, user MUST toggle the master clock source selection
on the front panel "MCLK" command or terminal "S" command and save the configuration.

3.1.3 Serial Communication Port


The serial port allows use of a local VT-100 terminal directly or a remote VT-100 terminal via modem to
configure the system as well as to perform diagnostics and poll status reports, etc. The serial port must
be set to a proper operational mode. If necessary, the Front Panel can be used to setup the serial port
to utilize a local or remote terminal. The serial port baud rate, data bit length, stop bit length, parity bit
length, XON-XOFF flow control, and interface type shall be set properly according to Table 3-1. For
detailed operation please refer to Section 5.9 or Section 6.17.

3.1.4 Menu Lock and Password


The LCD front panel and terminal are used to read alarms, system configurations, and system status, as
well as to change system configurations, clear alarm queue, etc. However, if LCD-menu-lock or
password is enabled, only read operations are allowed. System configurations may not be changed and
performance and statistics data cannot be changed. To control LCD-menu-lock and password, please
refer to Section 5.11 or Section 6.15.

The default option of menu-lock and password is disabled.


The default terminal access password is "LOOP".
3.1.5 Configuration
The current configuration can be stored into non-volatile memory. This allows the ability to retrieve the
last stored configuration. For detailed operation please refer to Section 5.6 or Section 6.16 and 6.19.

3.2 DS0 Channel Map


DS0 channel multiplexing is done by the DS0-MAP command. Where, 31 DS0 channels can be
assigned to any one of the DTE and Drop and Insert ports. Two maps are available to memorize
different DS0 channel assignments as MAP1 and MAP2. A SWITCH command is available to
automatically switch between MAP1 and MAP2 at a scheduled time. The Loop-ETME1 will send the
active DS0 maps to the remote side when the SWITCH command is set and when the switch time
expires. If the remote side does not respond, the local Loop-ETM E1 gives a fail message alert. All
unused channels are idle channels. An idle code is transmitted on those unused idle channels. For
detailed operation please refer to Section 5.1 or Section 6.17.

The default active map is MAP1.


The default DS0 channel assignment of both MAP1 and MAP2 are all idle channels.
The default switch time for MAP1 is 00:00 to 12:00 and MAP2 12:00 to 00:00.

NOTE: For an E1 network interface with HDB3 coding or all DTE ports with 56KxN bps, all 31
channels are available for DS0 multiplexing configuration.

NOTE: For an E1 network interface with AMI coding and DTE ports with 64KxN bps, only
alternate odd or even DS0 channels should be used. This is required to guarantee the
density requirement.

NOTE: 1. TS16 can be assigned to DTE and D&I ports.


2. TS16 must be assigned to D&I port, if call process signaling is needed.
In this case, TS16 is included in D&I bandwidth calculation.
3. For E1 network frame is CAS, TS16 is fixed to "S" (signal channel).

performance as well as statistics monitoring. For detailed operation please refer to Section 5.2.4 or
Section 6.17.
3.3.5 Idle Code
Any DS0 channel which is not assigned to a DTE port or D&I port is an idle channel, and an idle code is
transmitted on it. The idle channel can be programmed to any bit pattern from 0x00 to 0xFF. For
detailed operation please refer to Section 5.2.6 or Section 6.17.

NOTE: Due to density requirements, it is advised that the idle code to be set as 0xD5. Or, the idle
code must be programmed to contain at least two bits of '1'. The factory default idle code
is 0xD5.

3.3.6 CAS
For E1, CAS (Channel-Associated Signaling) is a method for sending signaling information where time
slot 16 of the E1 format is shared for each of the 30 other time slots within the same E1. OFF
designation is for CAS disabled. For E1, when disabled, the 256N multiframe is used when time slot
16 is available to the user, and the maximum number of time slots available for payload is 31. ON
designation is for CAS enabled. When enabled, the 256S multiframe is used when time slot 16 is
reserved for the transmission for end-to-end signaling using CAS. The maximum number of time slots
available for payload is then 30.

3.5 DTE Configuration


This product is equipped with 2 DTE ports and may contain an optional 2 additional DTE ports. The additional
2 DTE port option can be installed at any time. The system will recognize its existence automatically. However,
all DTE ports must be configured individually for proper operation. A detailed option list of DTE configuration
is in Table 3-4, and the following paragraph will describe each item.

3.5.1 Rate
The DTE port can operate at 56KxN or 64KxN bps, (N is 1 to 31). Use the Rate command to select
56K or 64K. Use the DS0 MAP command to select the number of DS0 channels. For detailed operation
please refer to Section 5.4.1 or Section 6.17 for the Rate command and Section 5.1 or Section 6.17 for
the DS0 MAP command.

3.5.2 Clock
The clock polarity of the DTE port is either normal or inverted and is used to drive the transmit data and
to sample the receive data. For detailed operation please refer to Section 5.4.2 or Section 6.17.

3.5.3 Data
The data polarity of the DTE port is either normal or inverted, which is used as positive logic or negative
logic. For detailed operation please refer to Section 5.4.3 or Section 6.17.

3.5.4 Interface
The DTE port interface type can be either EIA530/RS449 or V.35. A conversion cable for each DTE port
may supplied with the shipment. The proper interface type must be specified when ordering.
Conversion cables are illustrated in Appendix A. To set this option, please refer to Section 5.4.4 or
Section 6.17.

3.5.5 RTS

The DTE facility can use RTS (Request To Send) to control transmission. When RTS is "ACTIVE" and
in an off state, all ones are sent to the E1 line side on the DTE port associated with the DS0 channels.
When RTS is "PERMANENT", the RTS signal is ignored and forced on permanently. To set this option,
please refer to Section 5.4.5 or Section 6.17.

3.5.6 TTM

In a normal operating mode, the CSU/DSU uses the transmit clock (from CSU/DSU) to sample the
transmit data sent from the DTE. In the Terminal Timing Mode (TTM) the CSU/DSU uses the external
clock from the DTE to sample the transmit data. This avoids data reception problems due to phase
delays caused by long cables. If the DTE cable is too long, the transmit data, after traversing the cable,
may not be in-phase with the transmit clock. By using this feature the transmit data will be in phase with
the sampling clock, which, in this case, will be the external clock from the DTE.
Note that the "external clock" from the DTE can also be used as the CSU/DSU system clock. This
choice is independent of the TTM option. See the section on Master Clock for details.

3.6 Alarm and Report


3.6.1 Alarm
The Loop-ETM E1 has twenty types of alarms as listed in Table 3-5. Also, Loop-ETM E1 has an alarm
queue which records the latest 40 alarms with a time stamp. The Loop-ETM E1 also has alarm history
and alarm status registers which are used to track the alarm count. Each alarm can be individually
enabled or disabled. When disabled, no action is taken. When enabled, the alarm counter increments
on the occurrence of the specific type of alarm. When an alarm occurs or the counter threshold is
exceeded, an alarm is triggered.

When an alarm is triggered, a dial-out or alarm relay is activated, if it is enabled. Otherwise, no action is
takes and only the specific alarm count is incremented. Dial-out is used to dial out through a modem to
a remote terminal. The alarm relay is connected to an external buzzer or flashing signal via the alarm
relay connector as listed in Table 2-7. Please refer to Section 6.8 and Section 6.14 for detailed
operation. When the threshold level is implemented, it is based on the 15 minute alarm count register.

All alarms, the dial-out and alarm relay functions, by default, are set to disabled.

It is recommended to use Hays compatible AT dialing commands for both primary and secondary dial-
out strings. The Loop-ETM E1 will send the following AT commands to initialize the modem when
modem interface type is selected. Specific commands may be added in the dialing string to suit the
environment.

1. Auto answer, S0=1.


2. Ignore DTR signal, &D0.
3. Track carrier, &C1.
4. Echo off, E0.
5. Display result codes in verbose form, V1
6. Return result code, Q0.
7. Wait time for carrier 30 sec, S7=30.
8. Save, &W0 &Y0.

Inactivity timeout can be programmed by the "S" command as shown in Section 6.17. After the alarm
message is sent, the Loop-ETM E1 will wait for a specific number of inactivity timeout minutes and then
disconnect the modem. If a new alarm is sent during that period, the timeout counter is reset. An
inactivity timeout of 0 minutes will immediately disconnect the modem after the alarm message is
sent.

3.9 Embedded SNMP Agent (Optional)


The optional embedded SNMP agent for the Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU offers standard RFC 1213 MIB II and RFC
1406 E1 MIB as well as Loop Telecom's enterprise MIB. Although Loop does not endorse any one Network
Management product, the following products have been tested. For workstation, HP J6700 HPUX version
11.0 running under SLIP command pppd 140.28.1.23:140.28.1.17 slip dedicated / dev/tty0p0 38400 mru
576 netm ask 255.255.255.0 extra-slip-end &. For network management system, HP OpenView, SUN
workstation, and SNMPc running in PC to monitor and control the Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU. This enables
integration of WAN equipment management with LAN SNMP network management systems. The embedded
SNMP agent also includes Telnet implementation to allow access to the Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU terminal
interface from any workstation in the network.

Chapter 3 Operation

The Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU uses the console port to provide the embedded SNMP agent functionality. Typically,
a workstation can be configured to run SLIP protocol on its Async ports. If there are only a few Loop-E devices
that need a SLIP interface, no dedicated terminal server is needed. Before SNMP is enabled, make sure the
IP address for Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU is configured correctly and the communication parameters match the
Terminal server port.
Once the SNMP agent is activated, successful operation can be verified by using the ping command. e.g.
$ ping 192.1.100.45
192.1.100.45 is alive
Please refer to respective SNMP manager operation instructions to incorporate the Loop-E enterprise MIB
into the system.

Telnet capability comes with the embedded SNMP agent. Once the SNMP agent is running, a telnet program
can be used, which will simulate the VT-100, to access the Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU command screen. The most
popular Telnet utility in the public domain is provided by NCSA. It can maintain several telnet connections
simultaneously. It is recommended to set the console port to run at the highest speed to reduce the jittery
output of terminal. The Loop-E E1 CSU/DSU can run reliably at 38.4K bps.

Chapter 3 Operation

3.10 In-Band Management Setup


In addition to the console port and the Ethernet port, Loop-E 1200 can also allow remote management
through a 64 Kbps time slot from the network line. To achieve remote management using this in-band
technique, two steps are necessary.
First, the Ethernet connection of the remote management terminal must be inserted to a designated time slot
in the network. This time slot can be a DS0 channel in a E1 or T1 line, or a DS0 channel in any of the
broadband facilities, such as E3, DS3, STM1, or OC3. This can be achieved though a router-CSU/DSU-mux
series of equipment or in one step through a router interface on a Loop-V 4200.

Next, the equipment to be management, namely this Loop-E 1200 must extract this 64 Kbps time slot to the
management port. This is accomplished through the TSI screen, illustrated below.
For the Loop-E 1200, the management port is indicated by "m". The first channel of MAP1 is assigned to the
management channel, as shown.

NOTE: When you are setting the Inband Management configuration (see section 6.23, Inband Management
Timer Setup, in this manual) a loopback timer will appear on your screen. If you are planning to do
any loopback testing while in the Inband Management (HDLC) mode you must set the timer for a
period (in seconds) suitable to your testing requirements. The inband management function will be
unavailable for the duration of the loopback testing. If you are not planning to do any Loopback
testing while in the Inband Management mode leave the timer at its default setting of 0 seconds.
The purpose of the timer is to prevent the irretrievable loss of your inband management line while
doing loopback testing. When you are not in the inband management mode and wish to do
loopback testing you can ignore the timer.

3.12 Network Management


To manage the system from the Internet, the Loop-E E1 offers Telnet Connectivity and SNMP management to
allow access to the unit from any workstation on the network.

The Telnet utility simulates a VT-100 terminal connection with the Loop-E E1. The main menu of the terminal
screen is described in chapter 6 and will be displayed after the Telnet connection is established. Refer to
Chapter 6 to manage the Loop-E E1. The most popular Telnet utility in the public domain is provided by
NCSA.

The embedded SNMP agent for Loop-E E1 offers standard RFC1212 MIB II and RFC 1406 DS1 MIB as well
as Loop Telecom's enterprise MIB. Network manager can use any SNMP compatible network management
system such as Sun Connect's Sun Net Manager and Hewlett-Packard's HP Open View, or PC base
SNMPc Network Manager to monitor and control Loop-E E1. Please refer to each respective SNMP manager
operation instruction to incorporate the Loop-E E1 enterprise MIB to the system.

There are two interfaces for Network Management functions, one is a SLIP interface, second is In-band
management. To use the SLIP interface, use the Console port to connect with a Terminal Server and link to
Ethernet indirectly as shown in Figure 3-2. To use In-band management, set MAP to assign a time slot to 'm'
and connect as Figure 3-3. SLIP and In-band management cannot be used at the same time. Also, console
and In-band management cannot be used at the same time.

To use the Telnet or SNMP function, make sure the IP address and interface parameters match. Please refer
to section 5.9.6. It is recommended to set the COMM port running at the highest speed to reduce the jittery
output on terminal if SLIP interface is selected. The Loop-E E1 can run reliably at 38.4 Kbps.

Once the IP parameters are set, users can verify that the Loop-E E1 is operating properly by using the ping
command to check for a response from Loop-E E1:

$ping 192.1.100.45
190.1.100.45 is active

4.1 Self-Test
At system power up, a complete self-test routine is run to check all I/O ports, read/write memory, and data
paths to validate system integrity. During system self test, "SELF TEST" message is shown on the upper line
of the LCD display. Also, the software release version and date code are shown on the lower line of the LCD
display. If any error is found, "FAIL" is shown on the upper right corner of the LCD display and a dedicated
error message is shown on the lower line. Also, the self test routine number is shown on the upper right corner
of the LCD display. If no error is found, the LCD display will show "PASS" on the upper right corner of the LCD
display followed by the Main Menu as in Figure 5-2. Various system diagnostic methodology can be found in
the following paragraph.

4.2 Diagnostics
A 20-bit register QRSS (Quasi-Random Signal Sequence) is used in the Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU. Please refer
to Appendix B for details of the 20-bit QRSS. The QRSS test pattern is used to test local Loop-ETM E1
CSU/DSU system integrity by local loopback testing. It can also be used to measure the E1 line quality. The
diagnostics scenario is as follows. First, send a remote loopback command to cause the remote facility to
loopback DS0 channels. Then, activate the local QRSS diagnostics operation, use the Test command to
enable QRSS and choose the tested DS0 channel in a bundle of DTE1, DTE2, DTE3, DTE4, D&I, or all 31
channels. When the QRSS pattern sync is found, a bit error counter tracks total bit errors. It is advised to send
QRSS for more than a 15 minute interval to evaluate the quality of the loop condition and facility reliability. In
both front panel and terminal operation, the '>' key is used to inject a single error, the '<' key to reset the error
counter, and 'ESC' to terminate QRSS test. User may also read performance report to understand the type of
error which occurs.

4.3 Near End Loopback


The near end loopbacks, such as local loopback, line loopback, payload loopback, DTE port loopback, and
D&I port loopback, are activated by the local Loop-ETM E1 and the loopback is at the near end facility. The
following paragraph describes each loopback in detail.
4.3.1 Local Loopback
The Local loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The outgoing signal is looped back through E1 PCM
transceiver. All 31 DS0 channels are looped back to the receiver path. This loopback test is activated
by the Test command. This loopback test can be used with QRSS diagnostic test patterns to validate
the local Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU's integrity. The transmit data is sent to the network during a local
loopback test. Local loopback tests can be activated from the front panel and terminal as described in
Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4.3.2 Line Loopback


A line loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The incoming E1 line signal is looped back to the outgoing
E1 signal before the E1 transceiver framer. This loopback is used to isolate the local equipment from a
troubled E1 transmission line. The line loopback test can be activated from the front panel and terminal
as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4.3.3 Payload Loopback

The payload loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The incoming signal is looped back to the outgoing E1
signal after the E1 transceiver framer. This loopback is used to isolate the DTE ports and D&I port from
the troubled E1 transmission line. The payload loopback test can be activated from the front panel and
terminal as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4.3.4 DTE Port Loopback


The DTE port loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. There are two types of DTE port loopback: TO-DTE
and TO-LINE. TO-DTE is when the DTE incoming signal is looped back to the DTE outgoing signal.
TO-LINE is when the DTE PCM outgoing signal is looped back to the DTE PCM incoming signal. This
loopback is used to validate the system integrity of the DTE facility. The DTE loopback test can be
activated from the front panel and terminal as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14. While in TO-
DTE loopback, all ones are send to E1 network line outgoing direction on DTE associated DS0
channels.

I Port Loopback
4.3.5 D

The D&I port loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. There are two types of D&I loopback: TO-DTE and
TO-LINE. TO-DTE is when the D&I incoming signal is looped back to the Drop and Insert outgoing
signal. TO-LINE is when the D&I outgoing signal is looped back to the D&I incoming signal. This
loopback is used to validate the system integrity of the D&I facility. The Drop and Insert loopback test
can be activated from the front panel and terminal as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4-2
Chapter 4 Maintenance

4.4 Far End Loopback


The far end loopback, such as remote line loopback, remote payload loopback, and remote channel
loopback, is activated by the remote facility and the loopback is at the near end. The remote facility
utilizes inband code and Facility Data Link (FDL) to initiate the loopback. It is advised that the remote
loopback should be used in conjunction with QRSS diagnostics test to measure the E1 network line
quality. The procedure is as follows. First, send a remote loopback command to cause the remote
facility to loopback some DS0 channels. Then, activate the QRSS diagnostics operation by QRSS
command as in Section 4.5.2.

The following paragraph describes each type of remote loopback.

4.4.1 Remote Line Loopback


The remote line loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The remote line loopback is initiated by the remote
equipment through an FDL message. A remote line loopback test can be activated from the front panel
and terminal as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4.4.2 Remote Payload Loopback


The remote payload loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The remote payload loopback is initiated by
the remote equipment through a FDL message. A remote payload loopback test can be activated from
the front panel and terminal as described in Section 5.7 and Section 6.14.

4.4.3 Remote Channel Loopback


The remote channel loopback is illustrated in Figure 4-1. The remote channel loopback is initiated by
the local equipment through in-band remote channel loopback code.

In-band activate and deactivate codes are used to enable and disable DTE or D&I port to a TO-LINE
loopback. This loopback provides a unique way to isolate problems of a specific data path from a DS1
network line toward remote DTE and D&I ports.

4.4.4 V.54 Loopback


The Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU also supports the V.54 loopback protocol. Refer to ANSI T1.403-1995
Annex B or ITU V.54 for details.

4.5 Test Pattern


Four test patterns are available to determine faults such as deficient clock recovery, fault ALBO level recovery,
inadequate jitter margin, presence of bridge taps, and mis-optioned network interface. These four patterns are
described in the following section.

4.5.1 3-in-24 Pattern


This framed 3-in-24 pattern is transmitted within 31 DS0 channels. It tests the consecutive zeros
requirement and useful to test AMI circuits.

The 3-in-24 pattern sequence is as follows,

(TS0) 01000100 00000000 00000100 01000 . . . . . (Left to Right)

(TS0) indicates frame alignment channel.

4.5.2 1-in-8 Pattern


This framed 1-in-8 pattern tests the ability of a circuit to support a pattern having the minimum ones
density. It is useful to reveal a timing recovery problem.

Framed 1-in-8 pattern sequence is as follows,

(TS0) 01000000 01000000 0100 . . . . . (Left to Right)

(TS0) indicates frame alignment channel.

4.5.3 2-in-8 Pattern


This framed 2-in-8 pattern, in conjunction with the 1-in-8 Pattern, is useful when performing tests to
reveal the presence of equivalent mis-optioned for HDB3. Use of the 2-in-8 pattern will confirm the
circuit's ability to support error free transmission when HDB3 substitution does not occur. When using
this pattern, frame alignment channels Si (international bit) and Sa4 to Sa8 (FDL data link) must be set
to 1. A framed 1-in-8 will cause an HDB3 substitution.

Framed 2-in-8 pattern sequence is as follows,

(TS0) 01000100 01000100 01 . . . . (Left to Right)

8 Appendix B QRSS (Quasi-Random Signal Sequence)


QRSS Quasi-Random Signal Sequence is defined in ANSI T1.403 - 1989, consists of a PRBS with 20-stage
shift register modified to limit the maximum number of sequential zeros transmitted to 14. The QRSS
generates every combination of 20-bit words, repeats every 1,048,575 bits and contains high density
sequences, low density sequences, and sequences that change from low density to high density, and vice
versa. When framed, the QRSS meets the pulse density criteria to provides no more than 15 zeros in a
sequence.

The pattern is generated in a twenty-stage register whose 17th and 20th stage outputs are added in a
modulo-two addition stage, and the result fed back to the input of the first stage. An output bit is forced to be a
ONE when the next 14 bits are all ZERO.

This test pattern can be used in conjunction with local loopback to test local Loop-ETM E1 CSU/DSU integrity.
It can also be used in conjunction with remote loopback to test remote Loop-ETME1 CSU/DSU and DS1
network line quality.
