Overview VERVIEW ® ® The PairGain HiGain HLU-431 List 1E is the Central Office (CO) side of a repeaterless, T1 transmission system. When used in conjunction with a remote unit or HRU, the system provides 1.544 Mbps transmission on two unconditioned copper pairs over the full Carrier Service Area (CSA) range. This line unit can be used in applications with or without HDUs.
Overview 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 PPLICATIONS HiGain systems provide a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy method for delivering T1 High Capacity Digital Service (HCDS) over metallic pairs. • The service is deployed over two unconditioned, non-loaded copper pairs, yet it demonstrates a quality that is competitive with fiber optics.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Overview Applications with HiGain Doublers For doubler applications, one or two doublers may be used in the HDSL loops between the HLU and HRU for a total of up to three spans. For compatibility guidelines on mixing newer doublers with older HRU and HLU models, refer “HiGain Doubler Circuit Deployment”...

150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Overview Table 2. Front Panel Components and Labels Front Panel Feature Function Front panel display Displays four-character status, provisioning, and alarm system messages. System option buttons Permits the user options to be monitored and modified without the need of a maintenance (MODE and SEL) terminal.
Overview 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Front Panel Display The front panel display is used with the MODE and SEL buttons to display system diagnostic messages. Refer to Table 4 for a listing of the four character messages. The front panel display turns on when power is initially applied to the HLU-431. To conserve power, the display only remains on for 4 minutes.

The HLU-431 List 1E provides a Network Management Control Bus on pin 46 of the card-edge connector. This allows the various PairGain Management System protocols to manage the HLU through the HMU-319 HiGain Management Unit. Whenever the HLU-431 is under management, the MNGD message displays periodically on the HLU-431 front panel display.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Installation System Alarm Relay Output The normally open alarm contacts available across pins 20 and 21 (Figure 2 on page 8) comprise the HLU-231 system alarm output. These alarm contacts close for any system alarms condition. This alarm contacts also close if power is lost or removed from the slot, providing fail-safe relay output.
Provisioning the HLU-431 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 HLU-431 ROVISIONING THE There are two methods for provisioning the HLU-431: • Use the MODE and SEL buttons on the front panel • Access system settings screens through the RS-232 Craft port. No dip switches or jumpers are required to provision the HLU-431 as it contains a non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) which stores the system option settings.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Provisioning the HLU-431 Displaying System Inventory To scroll through an inventory of system parameters, press the MODE button for 3 or more seconds. The following parameters are displayed: • HLU software version number • HLU List number •...

Maintenance 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 All time information is lost when power is removed. The last date, however, is retained in NVRAM and reappears when power is restored. Set Time The cursor defaults to the New Time field. To set the system time, type the hour and minute in the 24-hour format
of hh:mm:ss (setting the seconds is optional), then press .
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Maintenance YSTEM ETTINGS The options set from the System Settings screen are the same as the options set through the HLU-431 front panel Mode and SEL buttons (except for Margin Alarm Threshold and DS0 Blocking, which can only be set at this screen).
Maintenance 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 If a customer of a fractional T1 service fills any of the unused DS0 channels with information other than an idle code of all ones, the HiGain system blocks this information from reaching the remote end of the circuit and replaces those DS0 channels with an all ones idle code.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Maintenance HAIS Selections The HAIS option provides two selections for the T1 transmit outputs at both the HLU-431 and HRU for HDSL loss of sync conditions. • 1LP causes the AIS (LOS if ALMP is set to LOS) pattern to be transmitted at both T1 outputs when either of the two HDSL loops experience an out-of-sync (LOSW) condition or when a margin alarm occurs.

With multiple doublers (up to two), there can be as many as three span screens. Press from the Maintenance Terminal Main Menu to view the Alarm History screen.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 System Alarms YSTEM LARMS Table 12 lists possible HLU-431 alarm states. The accompanying front panel message is listed in the Alarm column. More than one alarm condition can exist at any given time, but only one message can be displayed. For multiple alarms, only the highest priority alarm displays.
Loopback Operation 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 The Self Test mode that occurs when both HDSL loops are not in sync has been enhanced to include the input DS1 transceiver chip. The Self Test procedure can cause the AIS pattern that is normally transmitted from the HLU-431 during these out of sync intervals, to exhibit occasional BPVs.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Loopback Operation A2LB through A5LB are four special, addressable, repeater loopback functions which are supported by the HLU-431 List 1E. These loopbacks provide the HiGain system with sophisticated maintenance and trouble shooting tools. A2LB and A5LB are patterned after the Teltrend addressable T1 repeater loopbacks. A3LB and A4LB are patterned after the Wescom addressable T1 repeater loopbacks.
Loopback Operation 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Do one of the following: • To execute an NLOC loopback, press the SEL button. The message changes from NLO? to NLOC. • To execute an NREM loopback: – Press the MODE button. The message changes from NLO? to NRE? –...
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Loopback Operation OOPBACK PERATION WITHOUT OUBLERS The complete family of loopbacks that a HiGain system can execute is shown in Figure 21. The loopbacks can be initiated from the HLU RS-232 Craft port, the HLU front-panel MODE and SEL buttons, or from a family of Special Loopback (SPLP) in-band loopback commands.
Loopback Operation 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 OOPBACK PERATION WITH OUBLERS The complete family of loopbacks that a HiGain system equipped with the HDU-409 can execute is shown in Figure 22. Four of those loopbacks, NDU1, NDU2; CDU1, CDU2 occur in the doubler. The loopbacks can be initiated from the HLU RS-232 Craft port, the HLU front-panel MODE and SEL buttons, or from a family of Special Loopback (SPLP) in-band loopback commands.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Loopback Operation The more common generic, SPLB in-band loopback commands for doubler loopbacks are listed in Table 13. The commands are very specific combinations of either 6 or 7 bits that continuously repeat. All NXXX loopbacks are towards the network.
HLU-431 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, PairGain recommends sending the IR commands unframed.

150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Loopback Operation The HLU is now in Logic Loopback. The Loopback Time-out option is user settable to: • NONE (0 minutes) • 20 minutes • 60 minutes • 120 minutes These selections determine the duration of this loopback unless it is overridden by the Time-out Override command or a loop-down command is sent.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Loopback Operation Table 15 summarizes the codes required to execute Addressable 3 and 4 (A3LB and A4LB) repeater loopback commands. All code sequences must be present for at least 5 seconds. The abbreviations used in Table 15 are as follows: •...

UNCTIONAL PERATION PairGain HDSL technology provides full-duplex services at standard T1 rates over copper wires between an HLU and an HRU, which comprise one HiGain system. HiGain systems use PairGain 2-Binary 1, Quartenary (2B1Q) HDSL transceiver systems to establish two, full-duplex, 784 kbps data channels between the HLU-431 and a remotely located HDU or HRU.
Appendix C - Functional Operation 150-431-115-01, Revision 01 OWER ONSUMPTION WITHOUT OUBLERS The three most important power parameters of an HLU are its maximum power consumption, its maximum power dissipation, and its maximum current drain. The Maximum Power Consumption is the total power that the HLU-431 consumes or draws from its -48 V shelf power source.
150-431-115-01, Revision 01 Appendix C - Functional Operation Power Consumption: With Doublers For doubler applications, one or two doublers may be used in the HDSL loops between the HLU-431 List 1E and an HRU. The HLU-431 can line power two doublers and the remote unit (three spans) for circuits up to 2000 ohms of loop resistance.
