Functional Description The ADTRAN ESU LT is one of several E1 CSU/DSUs that offer complete flexibility for connection of various data sources to E1 or FE1 facilities. This family of ESU products includes the following: •...
Chapter 1. Introduction The ESU LT serves as the link between user data sources such as local area network (LAN) bridges and routers, computers, CAD systems, and teleconferencing equipment. The amount of bandwidth allocated to the port is user-programmable. The data terminal equipment (DTE) data can occupy contiguous or alternate channels in the E1 stream, and the channels may start at any position.
Chapter 1. Introduction ESU LT Features • An E1 interface and an Nx56/64 DTE serial interface port. • Easy configuration capabilities using simplistic menus displayed in a liquid crystal display (LCD) window oper- ated by a front panel keypad. • Data port supports V.35, EIA-530, V.36 and X.21 electrical interfaces.
Chapter 1. Introduction Network Interface (NI) The Network Interface (NI) port provides the connection to the E1. This port complies with the applicable ANSI and CCITT standards. Either the 120 DB15 or the 75 BNC interface (adapter provided) may be used for the Network Interface.
Chapter 1. Introduction T-Watch Pro Management Software Program T-Watch Pro is the ADTRAN management software program that allows the user to control the ESU LT from a PC. It provides complete control over the configuration of the ESU LT using a graphic interface. The T-Watch Pro program displays the same status and performance data as the front panel LCD.
Chapter 1. Introduction run during normal operation to confirm continued correct functioning. The background tests include: • Monitoring the phase-locked loop for lock. • Standard background network performance monitoring. Loopback Tests A number of different loopbacks can be invoked locally from the front panel, by T-Watch commands, or remotely using V.54 loopback code.
Chapter 1. Introduction DTE Interface Loopback The Nx56K/64K serial interface offers a DTE loopback. See Figure 1-5. DTE Loopback Loops all data from the DTE back towards the DTE. This loopback may be initiated by using the front panel or T-Watch commands.
Chapter 1. Introduction Pattern Generation The ESU LT offers five test patterns: 511, QRSS, 1:8, All Ones, and All Zeros. The 511 pattern is generated and checked by the Nx56K/ 64K serial interface. It only appears in the TS0s assigned to the Nx56K/64K port.
Chapter 1. Introduction Bridge/Router Application A bridge or router can be interfaced to the network by using the DTE interface. The bandwidth used is programmable at Nx56 or Nx64 data rates for E1 or FE1 service. The bandwidth can be selected as contiguous or alternate. Figure 1-6 shows a simple bridge application.

Chapter 4. Status Menu NI PERF RPTS The Network Interface Performance Reports display the user’s copy of the performance data. The ESU LT maintains this performance data on the network based on G.821. The data displayed is data accumulated over the last 15 minutes and over the last 24 hours.
Chapter 4. Status Menu Number of severely errored seconds (more than 832 CRC errors/sec. Approximately equivalent to a bit error rate of 1x10 Number of minutes with bit error rate 1x10 Number of unavailable seconds (10 or more consecutive seconds). Since only the user’s copy of performance data is cleared by the ESU LT, the data displayed here might be different from the data being sent to the network as performance report message (PRM) data.
Chapter 4. Status Menu Alarms and Errors The following are alarms and errors which can be seen. LOSS OF SIGNAL No signal detected at NI LOSS OF FRAME NI unable to frame align with incoming FAS /NFAS framing pattern. Remote Alarm (Bit 3 of NFAS word) is transmitted out the network interface.
Chapter 4. Status Menu FAS WORD ERROR Indicates word errors have occurred in the Frame Alignment Signal. E-BIT ERRO Indicates that a Far End Block Error (FEBE) has occurred. This is reported by the first bit of frames 13 and 15 on E1 lines that are configured for CAS with CRC-4.

Configuration Men Chapter 5 CONFIG The C is used to set the ESU LT ONFIGURATION operational configuration, including all of the network interface parameters, and the allocation of the time slots and the port parameters. See Figure 5-1. 1) INTERFACE 2) FRAMING 1) NETWORK (NI) 3) LINE CODE...
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu Network (NI) This menu is used to access the configuration of parameters associated with the network interface in the ESU LT. There are seven submenu items that include setting the framing type, the line code, and the clock source. See Figure 5-2. Figure 5-2.
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu FRAMING The ESU LT can operate in three different framing modes: Common Channel Signaling (CCS), Channel Associated Signaling (CAS), or unframed. CCS uses a 7-bit pattern called the Frame Alignment Signal (FAS) in order to establish and maintain frame synchronization.
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu Other option settings that have no effect in unframed mode include: CRC4, NFAS WORD, RFA GEN, AUTO DTE TX CLK, MAPPING, DATA INVERT, INBAND. Choices: CCS; CAS/TS16; UNFRAMED LINE CODE Selects either AMI or HDB3 line coding. Choices: HDB3;...
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu Network Timing The network is the source of timing. The received data clocking is looped back to the network where it is used to determine the transmission timing. This option is also referred to as looped timed as the transmission clock is derived from the received clock.
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu DTE Timing The DTE is the source of timing. The ESU LT uses th incoming DTE clock to determine the transmission timing. This is typically used in applications such as limited distance line drivers, where it is necessary to have the DTE as the primary clock source.
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu CNTRL PORT Used to set the unit up as the master or slave on a chain of units, and to initialize a modem and the control port data rate. Sets baud rate for communications with PC or modem. POSITION Determines if this ESU LT is at the head of a chain of units (directly connected to the modem or PC).
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu ALARMS Used to initialize the method by which the control port handles alarm conditions. TRAPS Determines if alarm conditions should automatically send alarm messages (traps) to the controlling PC. The setting is for this unit, or for slaves if this unit is a master. Choices: ENA, DISA OUTPUT Selects whether the alarm traps (if enabled) are sent directly,...
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu Port Config (Port Configuration) The menu item PORT is used to select and then to configure the parameters associated with the high-speed serial interface. INTERFACE This option sets the electrical interface for the Nx56/64 port. TS0 RATE This sets the base rate of the interface.
Chapter 5. Configuration Menu START TS Used to select the time slot in which the E1 data stream will start. In CAS mode, time slot 16 may not be used as the starting time slot. This option setting is ignored in unframed mode since all time slots are automatically used.

Reinit Unit submenu is used to reinitialize the unit. This EINIT menu item is not used to restore the factory default settings for all parameters.
Chapter 6. Utility Menu Keypad Allows the user to lock or unlock the front panel keypad. This feature keeps the unit configuration from being changed by unauthorized personal. When the keypad is L , option settings can be viewed OCKED but not changed.
Test Menu Chapter 7 TEST The T is used to initiate different types of tests and to view test results (see Figure 7-1). Test results are displayed in the LCD window. The menu contains three sub-items. Test execution will disrupt some of the normal operation. See indi- vidual menu items concerning tests before executing.
Chapter 7. Test Menu Network Tests Network tests are used to control the activation of loopbacks and the initiation of data test patterns. The network tests are run on the network interface (NI). Three different test configurations can be selected to determine the type of loopback and the pattern to run.
Chapter 7. Test Menu REMOTE LOOPBCK No Loopback Deactivates the loopback. FE1 Loopback FE1 loopback sends V.54 loopback code in all mapped TS0s toward the network. The far end unit will respond by initiating a local line loopback. This loopback is not available when operating in unframed mode.
Chapter 7. Test Menu CLR ERRORS has two functions. CLR ERRORS It clears out the 511 error total when you press Enter It displays a total of the 511 errors. If 511 errors are being received, the display is updated accordingly. See Figure 7-3.
Front panel LED verification Phase lock loop verify If a failure is detected, note the failure number and contact ADTRAN Technical Support. Executing self-test disrupts normal data flow and prevents remot communication until the self-test is completed (approximately 15 seconds) Figure 7-4.
