Overview VERVIEW ® ® The ADC HiGain Line Unit HLU-432 List 1 is the Central Office (CO) side of a repeaterless T1 transmission system. When used in conjunction with a HiGain Remote Unit (HRU), the system provides 1.544 Mbps transmission on two unconditioned copper pairs over the full Carrier Service Area (CSA) range. The CSA includes loops up to 12,000 feet of 24 AWG or 9,000 feet of 26 AWG wire, including bridged taps.
Overview 150-432-100-02, Revision 02 • Full-duplex 2B1Q HDSL transmission on two pairs at 784 kbps • Margin threshold alarm OMPATIBILITY The HLU-432 is designed to mount in 200 or 400 mechanics shelves. For a list of compatible shelves, see “Appendix C - Compatibility” on page All generations of HiGain HLU and HRU modules are compatible with each other.
150-432-100-02, Revision 02 Front Panel RONT ANEL The HLU-432 front panel is shown in Figure 1. The front-panel components are described in Table 1. For pinout diagrams of the HLU card-edge connector and the craft port, refer to “Appendix A - Specifications” on page HiGain List number HLU-432 L1...

Troubleshooting 150-432-100-02, Revision 02 Initiating a Manual Loopback Session A manual loopback session allows you to select any one of the HiGain GNLB loopbacks listed in Table 13 on page 42 with the exception of SmartJack loopbacks, which can only be issued by inband commands. Setting the Loopback Time-out Option Before initiating a loopback session, verify that the Loopback Time-out parameter is set to the desired setting.
150-432-100-02, Revision 02 Troubleshooting You can terminate loopbacks manually and exit the MAN LPBK mode by simultaneously pressing the MODE and SEL buttons for 3 or more seconds. If no loopback is active, the MAN LPBK mode automatically terminates after 30 seconds. All loopbacks can be initiated by inband commands in the T1 payload or by a command from the HiGain system (front-panel buttons or maintenance screen selections).

150-432-100-02, Revision 02 Appendix A - Specifications AXIMUM OWER ISSIPATION The Maximum Power Dissipation measures the power that is converted into heat that builds up within the unit. It contributes to the total heat generated in the space around the unit. It is used to determine the maximum number of fully loaded shelves per bay that does not exceed the maximum allowable power dissipation density in watts per square foot to comply with GR-63.
The HLU-432 provides a Network Management Control Bus on pin 46 of the card-edge connector. This allows the various ADC Management System protocols to manage the HLU through the HMU-319 HiGain Management Unit. Whenever the HLU-432 is under management, the MNGD message appears periodically on the HLU-432 front-panel display.

UNCTIONAL PERATION ADC’s 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 ADC 2-Binary 1-Quartenary (2B1Q) HDSL transceiver systems: to establish two, full-duplex, 784 kbps data channels between the HLU-432 and a remotely located HDU or HRU.
150-432-100-02, Revision 02 Appendix B - Functional Operation ROUND AULT ETECT The HLU-432 has a Ground Fault Detect (GFD) circuit which detects a ground or a resistive path to ground on any wire of any loop of any span with a non-zero voltage. For low (-135 Vdc) applications, such a circuit is active during start-up by applying the bipolar voltage to the loops.
