ISDN basic rate lines. The TS350 can make an ISDN speech, data, or BERT call. It can monitor the protocol on the ISDN line and when used with the Genius ISDN Protocol Analyser software it makes an extremely powerful maintenance tool.
Battery Charging The AA size NiMH batteries are shipped uncharged so first you must charge your TS350 NiMH batteries. Insert the dc plug of the mains plug top dc battery charger into the dc socket at the bottom end of the unit.
Note: For more detail on these options and their use see the appropriate section in this User's Guide. To make your first BERT call: Step 1 Connect your TS350 with the RJ45 to RJ45 lead to the NT interface S/T bus socket. Step 2 Switch on the TS350 by holding down the key for 2 seconds.

The normal mode of operation sends a Genius software compatible binary output of the D channel protocol. In ISDN S-TE and ISDN U- TE mode this protocol is the TS350 to Network protocol; in ISDN S- Monitor passive monitor mode this is D channel protocol generated by the TE and the Network.
To charge the NiMH batteries, insert the plugtop supply into a convenient mains socket and insert the dc jack into the TS350 dc socket. If the TS350 is not already on, it will turn on immediately. Leave the TS350 to charge for approximately 16 hours. Whilst the dc plugtop supply is on you will see a plug icon in the top right hand corner of the LCD.
In this mode the TS350 will act as an ISDN terminal connected to the four wire S/T bus. The TS350 can carry out a BERT test on any bearer, make a voice call, carry out manual or automatic tests for Teleservice network support and common Supplementary F r e e D a t a s h e e t h t t p : / / w w w .
Mode menu. ISDN S - Monitor In this mode the TS350 is "bridged" onto the S bus link between the TE and the NT. The TS350 passively monitors D channel messaging in bothTE to NT and NT to TE directions. The binary decode is output on the RS232 port in real time for decode with the Genius ISDN Protocol Analyser software.
