ABOUT THIS MANUAL This manual describes how to operate and maintain the ADC Soneplex Broadband system (V5), which is a DS1-based multiplexer with an interface that is compatible with DS3 networks. It is specifically designed for use as a hub to distribute DS1 HiCap circuits for local access.
Place modules in anti-static packing material when transporting or storing. When working on modules, always place them on an approved anti-static mat that is electrically grounded. Page x 2000, ADC Telecommunications, Inc.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT Class A The Soneplex Broadband system has been certified to comply with the requirements for class A computing devices per part 15 of the FCC regulations. Warning: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications.

2 USING THE CRAFT INTERFACE After the initial installation of a Soneplex Broadband system, most testing and local operations are conducted with the Craft Interface through a VT-100 compatible terminal. This terminal is connected either to the front panel of the MPU plug-in module, or through a port located on the rear of the Soneplex Broadband chassis.

TASK INDEX LIST ... IXL-001 1 GENERAL This section provides procedures to install and maintain a Soneplex Broadband system. The procedures are given in a Task Oriented Practice (TOP) format. Regardless of your work experience, TOP can be a useful tool in doing your job. If you have done a particular job many times, the TOP serves as a memory jogger for those instructions you cannot recall.
Do not plug them into the chassis. 7. If there are any damaged or missing parts, file a claim with the commercial carrier. Contact ADC Telecommunications for replacement parts. See the General Information section of this manual for procedures.
1. Open the shipping carton and carefully unpack the MPU from its protective packaging. DO NOT change any DIP switch settings on the printed circuit board of the Note: MPU; this could make the MPU incompatible with your Soneplex Broadband system. 2. Refer to Figure 502-1 for a drawing showing the MPU module slot in the chassis.

Summary: This procedure provides instructions for testing the forced-switch capability of the DS3 MUX in the Soneplex Broadband system. An end-to-end data path test is also performed using only the working DS3 MUX. The forced-switch occurs first to bring the Protect DS3 MUX online, then the end-to-end data path test is repeated.
Page 72
2. Slide the offline DS3 MUX part way out. This disconnects the DS3 MUX from the Soneplex Broadband system and ensures that data passes through the online DS3 MUX only. 3. Perform end-to-end test and verify error-free data. 4. Set up the Soneplex Broadband system and to perform end-to-end tests between chassis and remote unit. Reference:...

Note: If you are not sure that the MPU’s database is cleared, contact the ADC Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-366-3891, ext. 3223, or 1-612-946-3223 for more information.
Summary: This procedure provides instructions for recording circuit and facility names, along with the associated group-slot numbers. Each circuit in the Soneplex Broadband system is identified by signal type and location. Signal types are either T1, T2, or T3. Each circuit or system is also assigned a slot number when installed.

4. Repeat Step 3 for each Main Menu Selection that you wish to change. Note: Disregard the QLX Alarm Levels and QLX Configuration selections. The MPU software installed is used with either the Soneplex Broadband system or the Soneplex Loop Extender. QLX modules are not used in the Broadband chassis.

DS3 network interface is denoted graphically by the text “LPBK RQ>” that appears on loopback screens. Note: The SEND LPBK option is only available in the Soneplex Broadband system. It can only be executed from the Local command toggle field on the Loopback Status/Commands screen when the DS1 Loopback Mode field on the DS3 MUX Configuration screen is configured as C-Bit parity.

Send Loopback at the RLX Module * The SEND LPBK option is only available in the Soneplex Broadband System at the Local command toggle field on the Loopback Status/Commands screen when the DS1 Loopback Mode field on the DS3 MUX Configuration screen is configured as C-Bit parity.
The first column (Access Identifier) (AID) identifies an entity in the Soneplex Broadband system which in the Soneplex Broadband system result in different types of AIDs. The second column (Locn) displays NEND, FEND, REPC, or REPR indicating the location of the alarm.
The first (Date) and second (Time) columns on the screen display the date and time respectively of the alarms stored in the history file. The third column (Access ID) identifies an entity in the Soneplex Broadband system to which the alarm condition pertains. Different alarm conditions result in different types of AIDs.
