150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview VERVIEW ® The HiGain Multiplexer Unit HXU-357 List 1 is the newest generation of broadband multiplexers. It offers a low-cost multiplexing solution that features low-power consumption and a data transfer rate of 45 mbps. The HXU-357 is designed for HiGain Wideband 3190s that provide a complete T1 delivery system using a standard open architecture system in a 23-inch rack space.
Overview 150-357-200-02, Issue 2 EATURES • complete software provisioning • advanced management using Terminal Access Option (TAO) or Transaction Language 1 (TL1) software (through an HMU-319 List 7 or List 7A) • software-selectable DS3 local and network loopback • DS1 line code and loopback options •...
150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview PPLICATION The HXU-357 allows you to combine 28 lines into one high-speed DS3 interface, thus providing a substantial cost savings over 28 individual HDSL lines. Figure 2. HiGain Wideband 3190 Application HXU-357 List 1 February 9, 1999...

150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview Functional Overview Transmit Signal Flow In the transmit direction, the HXU-357 takes the 28 incoming bipolar, asynchronous, Tl low-speed signals, and adds line conditioning. It then multiplexes the signals with DS3 overhead data and stuffing bits to produce an industry-standard DS3 data stream.
Overview 150-357-200-02, Issue 2 LED Indicators The HXU-357 provides several LED indicators for monitoring power and alarm status. Figure 4 identifies the location of these indicators. Table 1 describes the various indicators. Figure 4. LED Indicators February 9, 1999 HXU-357 List 1...

Overview 150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Interfaces Address/Data Bus A bidirectional data bus controls the transfer of data to and from the microprocessor in response to the state of the read/write control line. The alarm inputs to the HXU-357 multiplexer card enter at the data bus. When an alarm signal is received, the corresponding alarm LED on the front panel of the HXU-357 illuminates.
150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview Microprocessor The microprocessor reads and writes data to the bidirectional data bus using a system clock of 40 MHz divided down to 20 MHz. The microprocessor performs arithmetic and logic operations as directed and monitors various alarm point functions throughout the multiplexer. These tasks include: •...
Overview 150-357-200-02, Issue 2 • controls: operates and releases controls, including loopback and switching. • Simple Management Network Protocol (SNMP): supports both standard and proprietary Management Information Bases (MIBs); supports SNMP version I and MIB II. You can download the HXU-357 software over the Ethernet connection or locally by a maintenance terminal connected to the craft port of an HMU-319 List 7 or List 7A.
150-357-200-02, Issue 2 Overview Watchdog Timer If the watchdog timer does not receive a strobe pulse within 200 ms, a time-out condition occurs, resulting in a hardware reset. The watchdog timer also provides two other vital functions: • power-up hardware reset during power-up conditions •...
Installation 150-357-200-02, Issue 2 NSTALLATION This section provides basic installation procedures. NPACKING Before installing the HXU-357, visually check its packaging to ensure that it has sustained no shipping damage. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. AFETY RECAUTIONS The HXU-357 multiplexer card can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
