(four E2 for E3 channels) ITU-T recommendations. In the DM16E1 model, E1 tributary interfaces can be supplied with BNC or IEC connectors for 75 ohms or RJ45 for 120 ohms. The type of connector required should be specified when purchasing.
The external alarms are connected to DM16E1/DM4E1 by a DB9 connector located at the rear panel. The external alarms can be, for example, for ambient use (temperature and humidity) or to detect intrusion into the place where the equipment is installed (intrusion alarm).
In the two multiplexing categories, drop-insert can be configured for tributary channels, so that several DM4E1 or DM16E1 units can share the same E3 link. Each unit inserts data into channels which are not used by the others, and this way form an optic ring with 100% utilization of the link. More details can be found in chapter 15.

4. G.703 TRIBUTARY INTERFACES The DM16E1 and DM4E1 have 16 and 4 E1 tributary interfaces, respectively. Connectors are located on the rear panel. The interfaces are fully independent, that is, they can carry signals of different origins, with different clock references, with or without G.704 frame structure.
E01R to E16R – Grounding via reception coaxial cable shield (IN). Position C (connected): connects the coaxial cable shield to the frame ground. Position I (isolated): does not ground the coaxial cable shield. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
4.8. Local Digital Loopback – LDL The local digital loopback operates in both directions. The external E1 connection (G.703) can be tested for each E1 interface. The figure below shows the test conditions. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
3. 4.9.1. Configuration Configuration of DM16E1 and DM4E1 tributaries consists of two parts: aggregate map configuration and port specification. If required, one or more positions can be reserved for tributaries in the aggregate map. These are configured using a letter (or letter and number) referring to a specific application for the tributary.
Page 42
In the DM16E1 model, the position in the table is always directly related to the tributary. In the DM4E1 model, it is related to the symbols G1, G2, G3 and G4. Enabling of the tributaries depends on their presence in the table. The panel led will remain off for tributaries absent from the table or used with inverse multiplex.
Current Tests: Type of test running at the port. Values for E1 ports are None, Running LDL, and Running LAL. • Link: Status of data received at the port. This status is also indicated by panel leds: DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
Note that the activation of an LDL/LAL test in the remote unit functions as a remote loopback, and may serve as a test for the local interface (for example, inserting BERT in a E1 channel). For further detail about the test operation mode, see chapters 4.7 and 4.8 DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
5. V.35 AND V.36/V.11 DIGITAL INTERFACES The DM16E1 and DM4E1 have a digital interface that is selectable via straps (V.35 or V.36/V.11 interface). This interface is available at a DB25 connector located on the rear panel following ISO2110 Amd.1 pinout recommendations for both V.35 and V.36/V.11.
This test allows a quick verification of transmission quality without the need for external test equipment. Error insertion is also possible. The figure below shows the test pattern generation at this interface. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
V.35 to the router, see chapter 0. If the router is directed to a structured E1 channel in the aggregate, the V.35 should be disabled (absent from the tributary table). DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...

The local analog loopback is used to test the analog part of interface card circuits, except for optic components. Figure below shows an example of the test conditions. Figure 17. Local analog loopback at an optic interface DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
The terminal can configure, monitor and test aggregate interfaces. It also provides information about what cards are installed. DM16E1 and DM4E1 accept both optic and electric aggregate interfaces. Configurations for both types are the same. This chapter can be used as reference for the configuration of electric aggregate interfaces.
Backup card acts as if it were receiving the signal. Figure 19 shows a DM16E1/DM4E1 loopback with aggregate redundancy. The indication of equipment backup status is in bold, Main and Backup indicate the status for the Main Link of Main and Backup aggregate interfaces, respectively.
Figure 19. A DM16E1/DM4E1 loopback operating with no failures Figure 19 exemplifies a link rupture at the main ring. Equipment A: The Main card goes into LOS status; requests backup (Loop Seq) from equipment C. Waits for data to be received from equipment B, on the Backup card.

The activation of tests on remote aggregate interfaces causes loss of the management link and should not be set. If this setting is made by accident will be necessary to deconfigure the test locally. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
(1 + 1), it is possible to install an electric E3 interface card in the equipment. This card is called DM16E1-E3Ei and it cannot be used as an aggregate card. It is installed in the position of the Ethernet Remote Bridge, and the connections are made through the tributary 1 connectors.
7.7. Local Analog Loopback – LAL The local analog loopback is used to test the analog part of the interface card circuits. The figure below gives an example of test conditions. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
1. See item 10.2 for more information. 7.10. Operation via Terminal DM16E1 and DM4E1 can use either optic or electric aggregates. In both cases, configuration is the same. For a reference on how to configure electric aggregate interfaces, consult chapter 6.7.

E1 network, assuring the operation with clock breakup up to 100ppmm amongst the channels. Once there is an equipment at the E1 network set as clock master, it is recommended to set both DM16E1/DM4E1 on an inverse multiplexer link to the internal clock. •...
Only synchronized channels (indicated by “S”) are used by the Bridge; the available rate can be calculated by multiplying the number of synchronized channels by the E1 channel rate (2048kbit/s). DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
Inverse Multiplexing mode, assuring data delivery in a correct order and through an efficient way with better utilization of E1 channels. This characteristic only exists in DM16E1/DM4E1 built with Bridge card HW2. 8.6. Different Bridge hardware versions for the DM16E1/DM4E1 equipment The sequencing packet characteristic is very important for some applications.

Despite the remote management is not allowed, the terminal (version 37 or upper, and all firmware with ordainment) will correctly indicate the software type used in the remote. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
9. ROUTING Routing is one of the special features included in the main card of DM16E1/DM4E1, and it has two WAN ports: • WAN1: dedicated to the DMLAN protocol. • WAN2: PPP or Frame Relay. It also has a LAN Ethernet port. Each port has a unique IP number, independent from the others.
If the indicator that corresponds to the use of management channels (“M”) does not appear in the aggregate map, the equipment automatically uses the 40-kbit/s channel out of the payload (standard configuration). DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
Note that WAN2 set to Frame Relay always works as an end element. Thus, direct communication (without an intermediate UNI-Network element) between two DM4E1 / DM16E1 devices using Frame Relay is not possible. The objective of this function is to allow Frame Relay access to cards only (UNI-User).
Page 76
When this option is used, it should be verified that this same tributary channel is not included in the tributary table for use as E1 (G, BG in the position of the tributary channel for DM16E1, or Gn, Bn for DM4E1 in the E3 mode, where n is the number of the tributary channel used).
The router always keeps routes for sub-nets that are known directly by their IP configurations. Thus, configuration of all active LAN interfaces in a ring topology in different sub-nets is necessary, under penalty of routing divergence. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...

10.5. E3 Electric Interface Card Straps DM16E1-E3E cards are provided with straps that allow for the connection of the coaxial cable shield to the frame ground. For further details, see item 7.9. 10.6. Restricted Use Straps The main card has two straps (E14 e E15) which are restricted to use in factory tests. They should always be kept in position 0-2 so as to allow for the adequate functioning of the equipment.
Type of interface: 2 wires. • Maximum level: 2dBm. • Maximum wavelength: 100 meters. • Voltage for detection of off the hook status: > 10mA. • Nominal voltage of off the hook: 20mA. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
12.2. Alarm Outputs DM16E1/DM4E1 cards are provided with a relay in order to generate alarms. The pinout in the DB9 connector is shown in Table 17. In an alarm situation or in case of power failure, the relay gets pin 6 of DB9 in short with pin 2 of DB9, and pin 1 remains isolated.
12.3. Input of External Clock The DM16E1/DM4E1 cards are provided with a IEC169/13 (or BNC) connector on the rear panel for the connection of an external clock source at 2048kHz (according to G.703). This is used by the E1 interfaces in case of failure in the synchronization recovery of an E1 interface.

15.2. Optical Connections This equipment uses non-visible laser radiation emitters. Never look directly to the laser terminals or to the fiber. Exposure to laser emission may cause partial or total loss of sight. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
15.3. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Mixed Operation The DM4E1 model accepts the same aggregate cards as DM16E1. The aggregate link operates in E3 at 34 Mbits/s. DM4E1 must be seen as an E3 mux similar to DM16E1, except that there are only 4 available E1 interfaces.
2-fiber cards, monofiber cards and electric interfaces (e.g. for radio links), all in the same ring. This ring also allows aggregate cards to be replaced without losing the data link. Figure 30. Example of bidirectional ring with Cross-Ring topology DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
All tributaries should be set to pass-through prior to inserting the device into a working line. This avoids excessive errors in the operating links. With this initial setting, other settings may be changed remotely except for some routing and SNMP management configurations. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
Physical connections are available on tributary 1 connections. Tributary 1 locking is automatic. Check if the additional E3 tributary card (DM16E1-E3Ei) is present. Please note that this card is optional. It is installed internally in the same position of the internal bridge.
Connect power supply, tributaries, aggregates and Ethernet cable if necessary. When connecting the aggregate, be careful to connect TX to RX when using two fibers and 1310 nm to 1550 nm cards when using monofiber. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
Please note that although a DM4E1 may use an E3 aggregate card and the bridge may run under Nx2M rates, there will only four available interfaces when trunking is directed to the 2M (G.703) tributaries. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
For LAN use, connect the Ethernet cable to the 10BaseT (RJ45) interface on the rear panel. 15.15. Service Channel The Service Channel is available on point to point, ring and line topologies, including mixed DM16E1 and DM4E1 rings. All devices included in the topology must have its aggregate already synchronized.
More details can be found in chapter 12. 15.18. Terminal Connection Be careful not to introduce a difference of potential between the DM16E1/DM4E1 and the PC or terminal. This will damage the serial interfaces of both the equipment and the terminal. Check item 3.1 before connecting the serial cable to be sure this will not happen.
Aggregate backup is possible for ring, line, point to point and optic modem topologies. The equipment may perform a series of tests to aid in failure detection or link checking. These also indicate the error ratio in the aggregate. DM16E1 / DM4E1 Operation and Installation Manual - 204-4001-19...
