LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 Overview VERVIEW The H2TU-C-388 List 3E line unit is the Central Office (CO) side of a T1 transmission system. The HiGain HDSL2 product family is fully compliant with the HDSL2 standard ANSI T1.418. Providing full-rate T1 access using a single copper pair, HDSL2 is a cost-effective solution that offers an open architecture.
Front Panel LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 RONT ANEL Figure 2 shows the H2TU-C-388 List 3E front panel. Table 1 on page 5 describes the front-panel components.

Provisioning LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 HDSL2 BER Threshold (HBER) Option. The HBER option permits the monitoring of loop integrity and reporting of alarms when excessive errors are detected. The PM primitive used for this purpose is the CRC checksum performed on the HDSL2 frame for both directions of transmission. It is, therefore, called a block error rate rather than the bit error rate associated with the DS1 interface.

LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 Provisioning H2TU-R DS1 Frame Conversion (CONV) Option. Frame format conversion is only applicable to the remote H2TU-R, but selectable by the H2TU-C or H2TU-R. This option enables the network to be ESF, which is used to embed SPRM or NPRM into the datalink towards the network. During conversion, frame bit errors are regenerated to ensure transparency.

LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 Testing OOPBACK PERATION HiGain HDSL2 has a family of loopback options for analyzing circuit functionality. The loopback signal is transmitted and returned to the sending device for comparison. This allows you to verify the integrity of the HDSL2 channels to the H2TU-C, the H2TU-C DSX-1 interface, and the DS1 channels to the customer.
Special Loopback Commands In addition to the GNLB loopback command mode, a HiGain HDSL2 system can be configured for one of three special loopback command modes. These are selected from the maintenance terminal Config menu, ADC Options screen (see Table 6 on page...

H2TU-C generates 231 (NLOC and CREM) ID bit errors. As a result, the H2TU-C may indicate one more or one less bit error, depending on the test set type and the number of frame bits contained in the block of errored bits. To avoid this uncertainty, ADC recommends sending unframed IR commands.

Appendix A - Specifications LTPH-TP-1001-02, Issue 2 OWER ONSUMPTION The three most important power parameters of an H2TU-C are its maximum power consumption, its maximum power dissipation and its maximum current drain. Table 26 lists the H2TU-C power parameters for line- and local-powered circuits on 9 kft, 26 AWG loops. Table 26.
The H2TU-C provides a Network Management Control Bus on pin 104 of the card-edge connector. This allows the various ADC Management System protocols to manage the H2TU-C through the HMU-319 HiGain Management Unit. Whenever the H2TU-C is under management, the MNGD message displays periodically on the front-panel display.
