NT5D11 and NT5D14 Lineside T1 Interface cards
Line Supervisory Signaling protocol
As described in
supporting loop start or ground start call processing modes. Make the selection for this dip
switch position based on what type of line signaling the CPE equipment supports.
Address of Lineside T1 card to the MMI
The address of the Lineside T1 card to the MMI is made up of two components:
• The address of the card within the shelf
• The address of the shelf in which the card resides
These two addresses are combined to create a unique address for the card. The MMI reads
the address of the card within the shelf from the card firmware; however the address of the
shelf must be set by this dip switch.
The shelf address dip switch can be from 0 – 15. 16 is the maximum number of Lineside T1
IPE shelves (a maximum of 64 Lineside T1 cards) capable of daisy chaining to a single MMI
terminal. For ease, it is recommended that this address be set the same as the address of the
peripheral controller identifier in LD 97 for type: XPE. This is not possible because the dip
switch is limited to 16; however, this is not mandatory.
T1 framing
The Lineside T1 card is capable of interfacing with CPE or CSU equipment either in D4 or ESF
framing mode. Make the selection for this dip switch position based on what type of framing
the CPE or CSU equipment supports.
T1 coding
The Lineside T1 card is capable of interfacing with CPE or CSU equipment using either AMI
or B8ZS coding. Make the selection for this dip switch position based on what type of coding
the CPE or CSU equipment supports.
DSX-1 length
Estimate the distance between the Lineside T1 card and the hardwired local CPE, or the Telco
demarc RJ48, for the carrier facility connecting the Lineside T1 and the remote CPE. Make the
selection for this dip switch position based on this distance.
