Equipment (IPE) module or NT8D11 Common Equipment/Peripheral Equipment (CE/PE) module. The NT5K17 DDI trunk card can be installed in any PE slot in an IPE or CE/PE module. Up to sixteen cards can be installed in each NT8D37 IPE module. The NT8D11 CE/PE module can hold up to ten DDI cards.
Signalling and control The signalling and control portion of the NT5K17 DDI trunk card operates with the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to control card hardware. The card receives messages from the CPU over a signalling channel and returns status information to the CPU over the same channel.
De pth: Connections The NT5K17 DDI trunk card has eight units. Each trunk unit on the card connects to the backplane through an 80-pin connector. The backplane is cabled to the input/output (I/O) panel, and the I/O panel is cabled to the cross-connect terminal.

NT5K18 — Exchange Line trunk card Functional description The NT5K18 Exchange Line trunk card provides the interface between a trunk and either an NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment module (IPE) or NT8D11 Common Equipment/Peripheral Equipment (CE/PE) module. The Exchange Line trunk card can be installed in any PE slot in an IPE or CE/PE Module.
2-2 NT5K18 Exchange Line Trunk Card Common features The NT5K18 Exchange Line trunk card: • allows trunk type to be configured on a per unit basis • indicates self-test status during an automatic or manual self-test • provides card-identification for auto configuration, and for determining the serial number and firmware level of the card •...
Signalling interface Trunk signalling messages are three bytes in length. The messages are transmitted in channel zero of the DS-30X in A10 format. Configuration information for the NT5K18 Exchange Line Trunk Card is downloaded from the CPU automatically during power-up or manually by commands from maintenance programs.
2-4 NT5K18 Exchange Line Trunk Card Technical description The technical details of the NT5K18 Exchange Line trunk card are outlined below. Power requirements Table 2-1 provides the power requirements for the NT5K18 Exchange Line trunk card. Table 2-1 NT5K18 Power requirements Environmental specifications Table 2-2 lists the environmental specifications of the NT5K18 Exchange Line trunk card.
PAD switching The transmission properties of each trunk are characterized by the class-of- service (COS) assigned in the trunk data block (LD 14). • PADs should be switched OUT when connecting to "long line" (0-8 dB) public exchange trunk interfaces. (COS = LOL) •...
2-6 NT5K18 Exchange Line Trunk Card Call placed by Meridian 1 The Meridian 1 places a call by applying ground to the B wire and the Public Exchange acknowledges by applying ground to the A wire. The Meridian 1 then places the trunk unit into the on-line state (low impedance loop), and removes the ground from the B wire.

Call disconnect Calls can be disconnected by either Loop Disconnect Clear operation or by Loop Guarded release operation.
2-8 NT5K18 Exchange Line Trunk Card Features description Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) All trunk types on the NT5K18 circuit card support the Periodic Pulse Metering (PPM) feature, or Subscriber Pulse Metering (SPM), as it is sometimes called. Periodic Pulse metering allows the user of each telephone on a Meridian 1 to keep an accurate record of Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Direct Outward Dialing (DOD) calls for billing or administration.
NT5K19 — Analog Tie trunk card Functional description The NT5K19 Analog Tie trunk card provides the interface between a trunk facility and either an NT8D37 Intelligent Peripheral Equipment module (IPE) or NT8D11 Common Equipment/Peripheral Equipment (CE/PE) module. The NT5K19 Analog Tie trunk card can be installed in any PE slot in an NT8D37 IPE module or NT8D11 CE/PE module.
3-2 NT5K19 Analog Tie Trunk Card Note: Common features The NT5K19 Analog Tie trunk card: • converts transmission signals from analog-to-digital and from digital- to-analog • enables and disables individual ports or the entire card under software control • provides outpulsing on the card. Make break ratios are defined in software and down loaded during power up and by software commands.
• Music on Hold access • Emergency Recorder access. Signalling and control The signalling and control portion of the trunk card works with the Meridian 1 Central Processing Unit (CPU) to operate the card hardware. The card receives messages from the Meridian 1 CPU over a signalling channel in the DS30X loop and returns status information to the CPU over the same channel.

3-8 NT5K19 Analog Tie Trunk Card Receive signals All received signals are in the form of Earth-On or Earth-Off applied to the E wire. Earth-On is the application of ground to the E wire through a resistance of 1500 ohms. Earth-Off is the application of ground to the E wire through a resistance of greater than 400K ohms.
