    Chapter 1 Introduction GENERAL The Telenetics FT 100S Fractional T1 CSU/DSU combines a single channel, fractional T1 DSU with a T1 ESF CSU. The unit interfaces customer premise data and voice equipment to a T1 transmission facility. High speed workstations, local and wide area networks (WANs), Private Branch Exchanges (PBXs), facsimiles, and host computers are examples of customer equipment which may communi- cate over public or private T1 networks using the FT 100S.

  • Page 12: Physical Description

    Introduction PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION The FT 100S can be either a standalone desktop unit or a shelf mount model. Front Panel Three front panel pushbuttons, YES, NO, and HOME, enable user input. A front panel 32-character LCD allows menu driven user operation and real time unit status displays.

  • Page 13: Rear Panel

    Introduction Rear Panel The rear panel (Figure 1-2) contains a power cord, fuse, an 8-pin RJ48C network interface connector, a 9-pin D-type interface connector for external control, and one 25-pin D-type DTE connectors. Since the FT 100S connects directly to the T1 network, it does not include an ON/ OFF power switch.

    Chapter 2 Installation GENERAL This chapter provides installation information for the FT 100S. If changing hardware options to meet system requirements, refer to Chapter 3 before installation. Note When requesting T1 network service, personnel operating this equipment must complete the affidavit in the front of this manual and file it with the telephone company providing service.

  • Page 16: Site Preparation

    Installation SITE PREPARATION The installation area should be clean, well-lighted, and free from extremes of temperature, humidity, appreciable shock, and vibration. Allow sufficient space at the rear of the unit for cable clearance and air flow. See Figure 2-1. CONTROL PORT 1 Port DTE Connector...

  • Page 17: Connections

    Installation CONNECTIONS Note Before connecting the unit to the network or the DTE, deter- mine whether the factory setting for Network Transmit LBO is set as required or must be changed. Refer to Chapter 3. FT 100S to Network Network T1 line connections are made through a standard 8-pin RJ48C jack labeled NWK on the rear panel.

  • Page 18: Ft 100S To Remote Control Device

    Installation FT 100S to Remote Control Device The 9-pin D-type male connector labeled CONTROL on the rear panel connects to the terminal that controls FT 100S operation, or to a modem connected to a remote terminal that controls the unit. The interface is compatible with EIA RS-232 serial data operation and has pin functions like a DCE interface.

Performance history information is stored in nonvolatile memory and can be accessed and displayed by the local user or transmitted to a remote FT 100S or other T1 terminating facility used for network management.
  • Page 99 Control Port Operation SF Error Count (SF framing only) contains a count of SF error events. An SF error event is either a bipolar violation (BPV) or an out of frame error. Error Second (ES) is any second in which an ESF (or SF) error event occurred.

  • Page 100: Error Reporting Menus

    Control Port Operation Line Code Violation Second (LCVS)is any second with one or more bipolar violations. If B8ZS coding is selected, only bipolar violations which are not part of the B8ZS code are counted. % Error Free Seconds is defined as {(# of error free seconds) / (# of total seconds) X 100}.

  • Page 101: Sf Error

    Control Port Operation SF Error When SF framing is selected, the two error history reporting registers are the same as in AT&T 54016. The only difference is that the carrier cannot read the carrier registers since there is no FDL. Local Error History ANSI T1.403 The local performance history allows display of error history data accu- mulated by the local FT 100S when ANSI T1.403 ESF mode is selected.

    Control Port Operation Carrier Performance History The Carrier Performance History Menu allows viewing error perfor- mance data accumulated by the FT 100S when in the AT&T 54016 ESF mode or SF mode. The user can view these registers, but cannot reset the data.

    Control Port Operation Remote Configuration Mode The choice for this option determines which FT 100S or FT 100 may actually handle all of the configuration for both units. The FT 100S or FT 100 that is selected for slave mode may be configured from the master unit and request the configuration from the master unit but may not change it.

    Chapter 7 Maintenance GENERAL The unit contains no electronic components that can be serviced or replaced by the user. Repairs should not be attempted by the user. Warning Disconnect AC/DC power before performing maintenance. Although dangerous voltage levels are not exposed, discon- necting power will ensure an electric shock hazard is not present.

    Chapter 8 Troubleshooting GENERAL This section discusses basic troubleshooting and also provides informa- tion on where to find further help, if necessary. In nearly all cases where you have a problem with the FT 100S, you can quickly resolve the problem with a few simple steps.

  • Page 110: Common Questions And Answers

    Troubleshooting COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. Why won't the FT 100S respond to the Central Office's request for error history? • Possible Solution: Either the option is disabled or the Central Office is not requesting the same format that the FT 100S is configured to send.
  • Page 111 Troubleshooting Note Sometimes incorrect wiring only causes marginal failures that standard troubleshooting cannot pin point. Always re- check the connections into the unit and any other equipment associated with the circuit. Also, check the actual pin outs against the wiring diagrams. The following cable illustration may be helpful in troubleshooting problems.

  • Page 122: Framing Formats

    T1 Overview Since zero bits are no pulses, the AMI code does not allow long strings of zero data. A minimum ones density is required on the T1 line so that receiving equipment and line repeaters can recover clocking informa- tion.

  • Page 124 T1 Overview kbps (7 bits per DS0) data can be transmitted without the inherent error due to signaling. Voice transmission is unaffected by robbed bit signaling. ESF Framing Figure C-2 shows the Extended Superframe Format (ESF). ESF format or Fe framing is the newest DS1 framing format. This format extends the multiframe structure from a 12 frame superframe to a 24 frame extended superframe.

  • Page 126 T1 Overview Call supervision signaling is provided in the same way as SF framing (Robbed Bit Signaling) with one difference. Since the extended super- frame is 24 frames long, frames l8 and 24 in addition to frames 6 and 12 contain signaling information in bit 8 of each DS0 channel.
  • Page 127 T1 Overview ESF framing allows logic errors to also be detected due to the CRC-6 error check sequence embedded in the F bit. When the receiving equip- ment obtains error information, it can communicate the information to the far end of the T1 link over the FDL channel. Two standard protocols report errors using the FDL: AT&T Publication 54016 and ANSI T1.403.
