1. OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES AT&T System 85 and DEFINITY® Generic 2 Communications System (hereafter abbreviated to DEFINITY Generic 2 or Generic 2) with traditional modules are communications systems with multimodule architecture that provide integrated voice and data switching via a state-of-the-art communications processor (called the common control or CC), a time-multiplexed switch (TMS), and the communications modules.
Page 18
OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINlTY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES The MC, or communications switching module, is the basic building block of the multimodular architecture. Each MC is capable of supporting up to 1536 analog ports and 256 simultaneous full- duplex conversations.
OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES The TMS is a time-multiplexed, space-division switch that connects modules for communications in a time-slot information between the modules and the TMS. The TMS processor, on command from the 501CC processor, directs the interconnections between the modules and the TMS. SYSTEM ADJUNCTS The installation of most System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 traditional modules is accompanied by one or more system adjuncts that provide the customer with administrative or application functions that...
OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES CROSS-CONNECT FIELDS Cross-connect fields are a major component in the installation of a System 85 or DEFINITY Generic 2 with a traditional module. They are the termination points for equipment cabling and distribution cabling.

OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES made from the network interface to the green field of the MDF. A cross-connection is made from the green field to the trunk section of the purple field. From the purple field, the path travels along a 25-pair cable to the backplane of a trunk port circuit at the switch.

OVERVIEW: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULE For purposes of this document System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 with traditional modules are treated the same for connectivity and sizing MDFs and IDFs. They are discussed concurrently in the first five chapters of this document.
2. MDF/IDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 This chapter recommends the terminal blocks and frames best suited for constructing a main distribution frame (MDF) for AT&T System 85 and DEEFINITY Generic 2 (hereafter abbreviated to DEFINITY Generic 2 or Generic 2) with traditional modules, presents the guidelines for their design, presents some guidelines for the intermediate distribution frame (IDF) design, and briefly discusses labeling for the MDFs and IDFs.
DF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Height Requirement for Terminal-Block Columns When you lay out the columns of terminal blocks for the MDF, place no more than 1500 pairs (five 300-pair blocks in a column) for either frame- or wall-mounted installations. (See figure 2-1, Maximum Column 1500 Pairs (Five 300-Pair Terminal BIocks).) Higher columns are hard to reach and make connecting and disconnecting jumper wires difficult.
MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Connecting Jumper Wires To facilitate cross-connections, connect jumper wires as follows: Use the layout and instructions shown in figure 2-2, Jumper Placement, for the 110A terminal blocks. (Figure 2-2 illustrates a layout for frame mounting, but the layout applies to wall mounting as well.) Use only the number of jumpers required for a connection.
MDF/IDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES RECOMMENDED FRAMES FOR TERMINAL BLOCKS The extra large building entrance terminal (XLBET) frame, which is manufactured at the AT&T Los Angeles Service Center, can be used for the MDF. The frame comes in single- and double-sided versions that are 84 in.

MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Ordering The service center ships all frames with terminal blocks as one comcode. Frames ordered for 110A hardware come with 110AB1-300 terminal blocks, clear designation strips, and wireways installed. However, you must specify the 110C-4 connecting block, which is recommended for a System 85 or DEFINITY Generic 2 traditional system installation.
MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES DESIGNING THE MDF Designing the MDF is a two-step process: first, determine the size of the MDF, second, construct the MDF. As you proceed with the design, keep in mind that function is more important than cost in reaching a final decision since it is possible for the final installation to be inexpensive but nonfunctional.

Page 34
MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Two factors govern the size of the MDF: the number of cable pairs to be terminated and the type of cross-connect hardware used. Since the recommended cross-connect hardware for System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 traditional system is the 110A, you only need to calculate the number of cable pairs that must terminate on the MDF and calculate the number of 110A cross-connect blocks needed to terminate those pairs to arrive at the size of the MDF.
Page 35
2-12 MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES beyond these minimums as actual needs dictate. Equipment (Switch) Port Field The equipment port field, which uses purple labels, is where the cables from the equipment ports terminate. Two factors govern its size. The first is the type, usage, and number of port carriers; the second is module needs, since all ports from an equipment module must be colocated.
Page 36
MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES NOTE: When a blue field is used, the blue field cross-connects directly to the purple field and not to the white field. Terminate only six 4-pair DIW cables to each index strip of a 110AB1-300 wiring block (the 25th pair is unused), which means that you can terminate a maximum of 72 four-pair DIW cables on each 300- pair wiring block.

MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES 2-18 Divide the terminations of the distribution cables among the zones in 100-pair increments. The type-1 frame (described under Recommended Frames for Terminal Blocks earlier in this chapter) may be used for a zoned MDF that is terminating up to 10 modules. Table 2-5, Module Allocation per Zone with Type-1 Frame, shows the number of modules allocated per zone when you design an MDF with a type-1 frame.

Page 45
2-22 MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES In addition to the preceding guidelines, observe these rules when designing zones: Mount the hardware on frames. For one-zone installations, wall-mounted frames may be used. For two-zone installations, double-sided, self-supporting frames must be used. Divide the distribution cables (in 100-pair increments) as equally between zones as possible.
Page 46
MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES NOTE: If station #2700 is located in module 04, the cross-connection in the closet goes to a pair in zone 1. Similarly, if #3001 is in module 07, the cross-connection in the closet goes to a pair in zone 2. Using this rule, it is possible to keep the jumpers short at the equipment room cross-connect field.
2-24 MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Use cross-connect hardware with connectors for equipment cables for systems of 1 to 5 modules. NOTE: The connector gender of the shielded cables supplied with System 85 R2V4 and earlier systems is male-to-male (M-M).

The IDFs usually are housed in closets.
2-32 MDF/lDF DESIGN: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES INSERT LABELS Insert labels identify the origins of cables that terminate on the MDF and on the IDFs. The labels are color-coded and come in sheets with 18 labels per sheet.

3. ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 This chapter identifies the electrical hazards that can harm personnel, the switch, terminals, and building wiring; instructs you in how to evaluate the basic wiring design for real or potential electrical hazards; and describes the protective devices and methods used to minimize those hazards.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERlC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES For more details on electrical protection, see Telecommunication Electrical Protection (350-060). Riser Cable Although riser cable (the distribution cable that stays within a building) rarely receives direct lightning strikes, instances of risers subjected to residual voltages as high as 5000V from lightning strikes on the buildings housing them have been observed.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES primary protector operates at a lower threshold. A secondary protector protects against currents and, in some cases, residual voltages that get past the primary protector. When analog circuit packs, analog voice terminals, and the distribution cables and cross-connect fields serving them are exposed to lightning, power crosses, and/or ground-potential rise, they require only overvoltage protection because they already have built-in, sneak-current protection in the circuit packs and terminals.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES PRIMARY PROTECTION Primary protection is provided by a fusible link and an overvoltage device. The following are descriptions of these elements of primary protectors. Overvoltage Devices There are three types of overvoltage devices: carbon blocks, gas tubes, and solid-state devices. Carbon Blocks A carbon block is a device holding two or more small carbon electrodes gapped at a distance that allows a voltage power surge to arc across the gap to ground.
ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Sneak-Current Device: Fuse A sneak-current fuse is a fuse that melts when currents of .35A (for 4 hours) to 5.25A (for more than 10 seconds) reach it. Sneak-current fuses may be installed before or after the network interface (NI) in series with the primary protector.

5. INSTALLATION EXAMPLE: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES This chapter illustrates the design process for a hypothetical main distribution frame (MDF) using a seven-module system. The process consists of two steps: sizing the MDF and constructing the MDF. SIZING THE MDF Sizing is the determination of the number of 300-pair terminal blocks needed to construct the MDF.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLE: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES Figure 5-1. 7-Module System Wall-Mounted on Type-1 Frame Several problems arise from the arrangement shown in figure 5-1, 7-Module System Wall-Mounted on Type-1 Frame, that make it undesirable. First, because the module layouts are asymmetrical, cable terminations begin in a different location for each module.
INSTALLATION EXAMPLE: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITlONAL MODULES Figure 5-3. 7-Module System Mounted on Self-Supporting Type-1 Frame, Rear Frame arrangements. In this installation, although the block count shows that five frames are needed, the arrangement of the frames increases the need to seven. And, since this installation uses zones, the distribution cable is separated on the MDF.

6. OVERVIEW: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES This chapter identifies the important differences between a DEFINITY® Generic 2 Communications System (hereafter abbreviated to DEFINITY Generic 2 or Generic 2) with universal modules and the systems described in chapter 1, Overview: System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 with Traditional Modules.
Page 81
OVERVIEW: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES CC Carrier (J58888AB) The CC carrier fulfills the same function for DEFINITY Generic 2 with universal modules that it does in System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 with traditional modules. TMS Carrier (J58888C) The TMS performs the same function in DEFINITY Generic 2 with universal modules that it does in System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 with traditional modules.
Remote Modules The UMC carrier can hold up to seven remote module interface (RMI) circuit packs (TN456). Remote modules are supported by System 85 and universal and traditional modules in the DEFINITY Generic 2 system. Call control uses fiber-optic links with a central-to-remote range of up to 25,000 ft. Remote modules with optically-remoted peripheral interfaces (ORPI) for attendant consoles have a maximum range of 13,000 ft.
OVERVIEW: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES CROSS-CONNECT FIELDS The DEFINITY Generic 2 with universal modules uses System 75 port board technology and has 500 pairs per carrier and 3 carriers per module. This creates significant differences in wall-field design from that used in System 85 and DEFINITY Generic 2 with traditional modules.
Page 84
SCMCC (J58890P) The SCMCC provides module processing functions similar to those of the UMCC (universal module control cabinet) but can only be used as a remote module. Each SCMCC houses the universal module control and contains the equipment required to support one unduplicated or one duplicated module control complex.

Height Requirement for Terminal-Block Columns When you lay out the columns of terminal blocks for the MDF, place no more than 1500 pairs (five 300-pair blocks in a column) for either frame- or wall-mounted installations. (See figure 7-1, Maximum Column 1500 Pairs (Five 300-Pair Teminal Blocks).) Taller columns are hard to reach and make connecting and disconnecting jumper wires difficult.
MDF/lDF DESlGN: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Connecting Jumper Wires To facilitate cross-connections, connect jumper wires as follows: Use the layout and instructions shown in figure 7-2, Jumper Placement, for the 110A terminal blocks. (Figure 7-2 illustrates a layout for frame mounting, but the layout applies to wall mounting a s w e l l .
FOR TERMINAL BLOCKS RECOMMENDED FRAMES The extra-large building entrance terminal (XLBET) frame, which is manufactured at the AT&T Los Angeles Service Center, can be used for the MDF. The frame comes in single- and double-sided versions that are 84 in. high, 10 in, deep (single-sided) to front edge of wireway with rear foot removed, 20 in.

Six Type-1 Frames with 18,000-Pair Capacity Type-2 Frame The type-2 frame shown in figure 7-4, Seven Type-2 Frames with 16,800-Pair Capacity, has added jumper capacity. You may terminate 2400 pairs on each of its sides. Cross-connections on the type-2 frame can be made either from top to bottom or from side to side, depending on the size and shape of the installation.
MDF/IDF DESIGN: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Ordering The service center ships all frames with terminal blocks as one comcode. Frames ordered for 110A hardware come with 110AB1-300 terminal blocks, clear designation strips, and wireways installed. You must order insert labels and ladder racks separately. Order type-1 and type-2 frames and connectors according to table 7-3, Type-1 Frame Ordering Information, and table 7-4, Type-2 Frame Odering Information.

Two factors govern the size of the MDF: the number of cable pairs to be terminated and the type of cross-connect hardware used. Since the recommended cross-connect hardware for Generic 2 with universal modules is the 110A, you need only to calculate the number of cable pairs that must terminate on the MDF and the number of 110A cross-connect blocks needed to terminate those pairs to arrive at the size of the MDF.

7-14 MDF/lDF DESIGN: DEFINlTY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES NOTE: When a blue field is used, the blue field cross-connects directly to the purple field and not to the white field. Terminate only six 4-pair DIW cables to each index strip of a 110AB1-300 wiring block (the 25th pair is unused), which means that you can terminate a maximum of 72 4-pair DIW cables on each 300-pair wiring block.
Mounting the Terminal Blocks You can mount the MDF hardware in one of the following three ways: Directly to a wall On a wall-mounted frame On a self-supported frame Table 7-5, Mounting Methods. is a mounting guide for the number of modules appropriate for each mounting method.
7-16 MDF/IDF DESIGN: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Network Services When 4-pair installation cables and spare cables or cables dedicated to systems terminated on the MDF other than Generic 2 with universal modules are terminated on the MDF, add two more fields to the arrangement.
7-18 MDF/lDF DESIGN: DEFINlTY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Figure 7-9. Separated Trunk and Line Ports Zone Configurations. When a large number of frames are required to construct an MDF, the task of connecting and disconnecting jumper wires can become difficult for two reasons. First, jumper wires of awkwardly long lengths are needed to make cross-connections between the extreme ends of the frame lineup.
Divide the terminations of the distribution cables among the zones in 100-pair increments. (described earlier in this chapter under Recommended Frames for Terminal Blocks) may be used for a zoned MDF that is terminating up to 10 modules. Table 7-6, Module Allocation per Zone with Type-1 Frame, shows the number of modules allocated per zone when you design an MDF with a type-1 frame.

Use the type-2 frame (described earlier in this chapter under Recommended Frames for Terminal Blocks) to design a zoned MDF that is terminating up to 16 modules. Table 7-7, Module Allocation per Zone with Type-2 Frame, shows the number of modules allocation per zone when you design an MDF with a type-2 frame.
7-22 MDF/lDF DESIGN: DEFINlTY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Figure 7-13. Zone Arrangement of Type-2 Frame — Front View, Zone In addition to the preceding guidelines, observe these rules when designing zones: Mount the hardware on frames. For 1-zone installations, wall-mounted frames may be used. For 2- zone installations, double-sided, self-supporting frames must be used.
IO number for an extension Equipment line location (ELL) number for that extension Module number for that ELL NOTE: If station #2700 is located in module 04, the cross-connection in the closet goes to a pair in zone 1. Similarly, if #3001 is in module 07, the cross-connection in the closet goes to a pair in zone 2.
7-24 MDF/lDF DESIGN: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES Use cross-connect hardware without connectors (for field terminations) for distribution cables. Use cross-connect hardware without connectors (for field terminations) for equipment cables for systems over five modules. Use cross-connect hardware with connectors for equipment cables for systems of one to five modules.

If you are required to design a raised-flooring MDF, use the following guidelines. Before designing the layout of an MDF over a raised floor, take into account the following three issues that can affect the design: The use of raised floor space as an air plenum. The National Electric Code (NEC) prohibits the placement of cables that use ordinary covering materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene, in the building air plenums.
Page 114
Cable Routing Take special care to ensure that cables from different modules do not cross at the MDF and that distribution cables are not crossed over module cables. Make sure that the cables routed under the raised floor are dressed and that they are done so with a minimum of slack to prevent tangled cables that can obstruct access to other under-floor equipment.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IDF DESIGNS For Generic 2 with universal modules, IDFs serve as secondary cross-connect points between distribution cables and installation cables, which connect to the IOs. The IDFs usually are housed in closets. Along with the IDF, these closets frequently house the auxiliary power units that some telephones require.
7-32 MDF/lDF DESIGN: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH UNIVERSAL MODULES INSERT LABELS Insert labels identify the origins of cables that terminate on the MDF and on the IDFs. The labels are color-coded and come in sheets with 18 labels per sheet. The labels slip into the ½-in. by 8-in. clear plastic holders that snap between the horizontal index strips of the terminal blocks.

10. lNSTALLATlON EXAMPLE: DEFINITY GENERIC 2 This chapter illustrates the design process for a hypothetical main distribution frame (MDF) using a seven-module system. The process consists of two steps: sizing the MDF and constructing the MDF. SIZING THE MDF Sizing is the determination of the number of 300-pair terminal blocks needed to construct the MDF. First, assess the requirements of the four principle fields.
