    Switches SW7 and SW8: Line Build Out Use Switches SW7 and SW8 to set the Line Build Out (LBO). The Line Build Out varies the pulse shape and attenuation of the signal sent to the network. The amount of Line Build Out depends on NetLink™ T1’s dis- tance to the last repeater.
  • Page 14: Software Configuration

    The NetLink-T1™ features a menu-driven command system that allows you to monitor/conÞgure its operating parameters. Follow the instruc- tions below to conÞgure the Model 2710 using the software switches: 1. Plug the 9-pin male end of the cable to your terminal or computer’s DB-9 serial port and start up the terminal emulator software if nec- essary.

    enter will not be shown. For security, asterisks will be displayed for each letter you type. The maximum length of the password, which can include any character the terminal can generate, is 16 characters. 6. The NetLink-T1™ will then display the Main Menu screen. Introduction to Main Menu After entering the password, you may access all of the system’s func- tions and parameters.
  • Page 16: System Configuration

    Unit Options allow you to customize the NetLink-T1™ for your location. You can change the default header names to give each unit a unique name and password. Also, you can reset the unit to its default settings without the manual. It also has a Service Infor- mation screen in case you need technical assistance from Pat- ton.

AT&T Technical Reference 54016 (TR 54016) deÞnes the ESF, a format which is commonly used to allow monitor- ing of the network interface performance over the Facility Data Link (FDL).
  • Page 18 B8ZS: Bipolar violations occur when consecutive pulses are of the same polarity. In B8ZS, or Bipolar Eight Zero Substitution, bipolar violations are introduced deliberately to indicate that eight zeros have been transmitted. This special encoding is recognized by the receiver and decoded correctly. See AT&T TR62411 Section 4.2.2 for a detailed description of B8ZS.
  • Page 19 – Clocking: Network (default) Options: Network, Internal, External Network: This is the most commonly used setting when connect ing to a carrier’s network. In this mode, the unit recovers the clock from the received signal and uses it to transmit data. In this way the unit remains synchronized to a master clock.

The messages contain the NI performance over the last four seconds.
  • Page 21 Options: EEPROM, Switch The NetLink-T1™ can be initialized via the conÞguration in the on-board permanent memory (EEPROM) or via the internal DIP switches (Switch). Once the unit is powered up, you may change the settings through the control port or the DIP switches.
  • Page 22 – DS0 Channel ConÞguration Menu: [ Bandwidth/# Channels = 1,536/24 ] (default) The DS0 Channel ConÞguration Menu has a sub-menu that looks like this: You may conÞgure the NetLink-T1™ to operate with any combination of active and inactive DS0 channels in this screen. When you execute the Save Changes command, the selected settings will be saved to perma- nent memory, and the system will be updated to operate with the new channel settings.
