    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.1 General The TRM-01 is a 4U (7") high 19" Rack, containing multiple T1 CSU/DSUs for Fractional T1 network access. The TRM-01 provides an economic solution in high density T1 installations such as central offices. There are 13 slots available for installation of FT1 Cards (G.703 Fractional T1) into the TRM-01 compact RACK.
  • Page 6 Chapter 1. Introduction The TRM-01 and FT1 Cards fully meet all T1 specifications including ITU-T G.703, G.704, G.706, G.732, and G.823. Each FT1 Card features V.54 diagnostic capabilities for performing local loop back and remote loop back. The operator at either end of the T1 line may test both the FT1 Card and the line in the digital loop back mode.

  • Page 8: T1 Signal Structure

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.4 T1 Signal Structure The T1 line operates at a nominal rate of 1.544Mbps. The data transferred over the T1 line is organized into frames, with each T1 frame containing 256 bits. The 256 bits are a total of the 24 time slots, each containing eight bits, that carry the data payload.
  • Page 9 Chapter 1. Introduction In the AMI format, “ones” are alternately transmitted as positive and negative pulses, whereas “zeros” are transmitted as a zero voltage level. AMI is not used in most 1.544Mbps transmissions because synchronization loss occurs during long strings of data zeros. B8ZS: Abbreviation for bipolar with eight-zero substitution .
  • Page 10: Applications / Capabilities

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.5 Applications / Capabilities In the following example, the TRM-01 is installed at an ISP's central office and provides "last mile" access to corporate customers over dedicated T1 transmission lines. The customer site utilizes a single data port CSU/DSU, which could be one of our pack series or standalone units.
  • Page 11 Chapter 1. Introduction The next example utilizes the cascade capability of the FT1 Cards. In this example, multiple FT1 Cards are set to “cascade”. Each card is assigned non- overlapping timeslots of a single T1 line. In cascade mode, the FT1 Card passes unused timeslot data transparently from Rx to Tx, creating a multiplexer effect.

    Chapter 2. Installation 2.1 General This chapter explains in detail the requirements and procedures for the installation of the TRM-01 Rack Mount Series T1 Digital Access Unit. 2.2 Site Preparation Install the TRM-01 within reach of an easily accessible grounded AC outlet.
  • Page 14: Electrical Installation

    Chapter 2. Installation 2.4 Electrical Installation 2-4-1. Power connection In the AC model, AC power is supplied to the TRM-01 through a standard IEC 3-prong receptacle, located on the rear of the chassis. In the DC model, DC –48V is connected to the lower terminal block, observing the proper polarity.
  • Page 15 Chapter 2. Installation 2-4-2. Rear panel connectors The FT1 Cards install into the front of the TRM-01 and receive DC power from the back plane or “main board”. The back plane provides both DC power to the T1 Cards and routes signals from the cards to the T1 (CSU) and data port (DSU) connectors accessible at the rear of the TRM-01.
  • Page 16: Power Supply Modules

    Chapter 2. Installation 2.5 Power Supply Modules The Power Supply Modules in the TRM-01 are available in two versions, AC or DC. The AC version supports input voltages of 90 to 250 volts at frequencies of 50 to 60 Hertz. The DC version supports –42 to -54VDC input voltage.
  • Page 17: Chapter 3. Data Modules

    Chapter 3. Data Modules 3.1 Data Module Overview The Data Modules for the TRM-01 are FT1 (fractional T1) Cards which slide into the TRM-01 chassis, and interface with the pack panel “main board”. The back panel provides an interface connection to the FT1 cards for power, T1 connection, data port connection and control logic (for optional SNMP/local management terminal).

  • Page 19 Chapter 3. Data Modules The FT1 Card in the TRM-01 uses a common bare PC board. During production, the card assembly is outfitted with the required interface circuitry and firmware for a particular interface type. A check mark is placed in the box as noted in the previous figure (shown with V.35 checked).

  • Page 31: Chapter 5. Troubleshooting

    Having the proper tools is also important in any troubleshooting endeavor. When troubleshooting T1 connections a transmission analyzer is an invaluable tool in isolating configuration, line or hardware problems. CTC Union's BTM- 10 T1 Transmission Analyzer is an excellent choice. The unit is very portable, battery operated, with built-in keyboard and LCD display.
  • Page 32: Configuration

    Chapter 5. Troubleshooting 5.3 Configuration When physical connections have been confirmed, start looking for configuration problems. Confirm that the proper line code is being used. The FT1 Cards all support AMI and B8ZS line codes. In almost all instances, the line code will be B8ZS.
  • Page 33: Ft1 Card Testing

    Chapter 5. Troubleshooting 5.4 FT1 Card Testing The example given here refers to use of CTC Union's BTM-10 T1 Transmission Analyzer. To test any of the FT1 Cards, connect either an RJ-45 T1 cable or two coaxial cables between the Device Under Test (DUT) and the BTM-10 tester.
  • Page 34 Chapter 5. Troubleshooting If for example the FT1 Card is an FT1/RS530, the tester is connected directly to the RS-530 interface of the data port. The clock on the tester is set to "external". Set up for BERT test and run a pattern to the data port. Depress the Rem loopbk switch on the local unit.
  • Page 35 Chapter 5. Troubleshooting Here's one more test based upon the previous setup. Depress both Pattern switches on each card. Now, each pattern generator is sending to the other card, while each pattern tester is receiving the 511-bit pattern from the other card. The same successful indicators as previous apply.
