  • Page 9: Section 1 - Introduction

    No header here Section 1 – Introduction The PT-353 and PR-353 program audio modules provide data transport of up to 22.5 kHz stereo program audio. These modules plug into Intraplex network access products, combining program audio with other audio, voice, and data traffic for transmission over T1, E1, and other high-speed digital links.

  • Page 11: Section 2 - Functional Description

    No header here Section 2 – Functional Description This section describes the functionality of both the PT-353 and PR-353 program audio modules. These modules plug into Intraplex Products network access products, which combine the program audio with other audio, voice and data traffic for transmission over T1, E1, IP, and other high-speed digital links.

    The yellow indicator light on the power supply also turns on. Note: If service to the module is shut off by setting the OFF switch DOWN (SW3 on the PT-353 module and SW4 on the PR-353 module), the contacts on the module adapter are not active and an alarm is not triggered.

  • Page 13: Rate Adaptation

    The lock range of the receiver is on the order of 0.01% of the incoming AES source at the PT-353 end. If a signal is applied to the PR-353 module which is outside of the 0.01% clock tolerance, errors occur at the PR-353 module, regardless of the status of the Reed-Solomon FEC. In such situations, the sample rate converter on the PT-353 module (SW6) must be engaged.

  • Page 14: Channel Status

    2.9.2 Overwriting There are some situations in which the channel status data is overwritten on both the PT-353 and PR- 353 modules. On the PT-353 module, if the incoming channel status information indicates the data word is over 16-bits in length, the channel status word length is overwritten to a 16-bit word length.

  • Page 15: Inspection

    3.2 Installation This section gives an installation procedure and guidelines to install the PT-353 and PR-353 modules in local control using the modules’ five switches. Figures 3-1 and 3-3 show the component side of the transmitter and receiver. Before starting the configuration, familiarize yourself with the two modules using the modules themselves or Figures 3-1 through 3-4 to identify the location of the configuration switch banks.

    Site 1 and the DI-B port connected to the transmission line to Site 3. Individual payload channels may connect Sites 1 and 2, 1 and 3, or 2 and 3. Also, a PT-353 transmitter may be installed at Site 1 or Site 3 and be received simultaneously by PR-353 receivers at both of the other sites.

  • Page 28: Impedance

    3.6 Impedance Terminal impedance can be set on the PT-353 module using Jumper 3 and Jumper 4. Terminal impedance is used to match impedance between the PT-353 module and the PR-353 module to ensure that input and output are equivalent. Table 3-8 gives the audio input impedance jumpers for the PT- 353 module.

    P05 = 0 (B00000000); There are five P code registers for the PT-353 and the PR-353 modules. Each is a number from 0 to 255, also represented as an eight-digit binary number (in parentheses). You may use either the decimal or the binary representation for both setting and interpreting the P codes.
  • Page 37 The remaining parameter codes correspond to the switch ON or OFF settings. Tables 4-2 and 4-3 give the setting configurations for the PT-353 module and the PR-353 module, respectively. These tables give the only legal values for setting the parameters. Setting any parameter to a value outside its specified range produces an unpredictable result.
