The CM-5RB transmitter is using timing provided by an external clock. BLINK External is selected for primary timing, but the module is currently using fallback timing. LPBK Loopback (yellow) One or more of three internal CM-5RB loopbacks (line, equipment, or payload) is active. Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
DI-B CM-5RB module does not hold this information. The DI-A CM-5RB module queries the DI-B CM-5RB status and reports it to the DI-B backup CM-5RB module (Figure 2-7). The DI-B backup CM-5RB module then takes appropriate action. Since DI-B CM-5RB Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
(that is, a CM-5RB module cannot act as a backup for a CM-5R or vice versa). To determine if a common module has combined module and line redundancy capability, check the ejector tab. It has one of these labels: “CM-5RB,” “CM-5R,” or “CM-5RTD.” 2-10 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
“T1/E1 Backup.” Both module adapters work as a pair but are implemented as two separate adapters. This arrangement is designed to allow replacement of a failed MA without interruption to the active service. Harris Corporation 2-11 Intraplex Products...
You can configure module redundancy for revertive or non-revertive switching. This feature can be set separately for line and module redundancy. If enabled, module redundancy reversion occurs as soon as a working primary module replaces a failed primary module and the backup module’s channel 2-12 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
Good condition is preferable to Soft Fail condition. Accordingly, Soft Fail is better than Hard Fail. When a switch in line occurs, both the backup CM-5RB module and MA-235 module adapter become active (Figure 2-10). Harris Corporation 2-13 Intraplex Products...

Power supply test points (E9, E10, E11, and E12) allow testing for proper voltages. Section 6.6.4 – Power Supply Test gives the procedure for using these test points. Figure 2-12 contains a simplified functional diagram of the power supply. Harris Corporation 2-19 Intraplex Products...
Each channel module’s transmit side converts its input into one or more 64 kbps time slots and places this information onto the transmit bus on the midplane for multiplexing by the CM-5RB module (Section 2.1.3 - CM-5RB Common Modules). Similarly, each channel module’s receive side takes the 2-20 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...

(has power), first remove the associated channel module. Similarly, to install a new channel module, first install the module adapter and then install the module itself. 2-22 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
ESF format provides better error detection than SF, and you should use it whenever possible; however, some older networks and channel service units (CSUs) do not support the ESF format. ACS- 160 Series multiplexers can be set to operate using either SF or ESF frame format. Harris Corporation 2-23 Intraplex Products...
Figure 2-17. Extended Superframe (ESF) Format 2.2.1.2 T1 Line Coding To assist in detecting transmission errors, all T1 lines use one of these two forms of line coding: ● AMI (alternate mark inversion) ● B8ZS (Bipolar With 8-Zero Substitution) 2-24 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
B8ZS circuit, the multiplexer checks the surrounding bit sequence to determine whether it is part of a zero substitution code or a true transmission error. Figure 2-19. Original Payload with Eight Consecutive Zeroes Harris Corporation 2-25 Intraplex Products...
(Figure 2-22). Each T1 circuit is supported by one CM-5RB module and has eight slots available for channel modules. The ACS-169 is a 1RU (1¾" high) shelf that accommodates up to four channel modules. The functionality of these two multiplexers is otherwise identical. 2-26 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
Most payload types, such as voice and full-duplex data circuits, have both an input and an output at each terminal multiplexer. However, some payload types, like simplex data and one-way program audio channels, have an input at one multiplexer and an output at the other, with no return signal. Harris Corporation 2-27 Intraplex Products...
The addition of one or more drop and insert multiplexers converts a simple point-to-point system into a drop and insert system (Figure 2-25). Data, voice, program audio, and distribution (multiple-drop) circuits can be established between any two locations in a T1 drop and insert system. 2-28 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
The only limiting factor is the 24-time slot capacity of the T1 circuit between any two adjacent locations. Drop and insert systems are not limited to a single drop and insert multiplexer. In fact, you can use them to link as many as one hundred locations. Harris Corporation 2-29 Intraplex Products...

Note: CM-5RB modules are fully interchangeable. Any CM-5RB module can be used as a primary terminal, DI-A, or DI-B multiplexer. Any CM-5RB module can also be used as a backup terminal, backup DI-A, or backup DI-B multiplexer. Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
Note: Common modules are interchangeable; that is, a CM-5RB module can be either a primary or a backup common module. Figure 3-2. ACS-163 Multiplexer Front View with Redundant Common Modules Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
Figure 3-5 presents the CM-5RB front panel user interface (FPUI) and switch locations. When power is first applied to the chassis, the 4-character display on the primary and backup common module’s front panels indicate the system multiplexing mode (Figure 3-6 and Table 3-1).

The MA-215, MA-235-1, MA-235-2, and MA-217B module adapters use an RJ-11 jack for the remote port. Table 3-13 gives the pin assignments. When connecting the remote port to a modem, use a null modem cable (a null modem cable provides a standard RS-232 DCE to DCE connection). Harris Corporation 3-15 Intraplex Products...

(Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-6). In systems timed from one end and not synchronized to the carrier's network, one terminal is internally (or externally) timed while the other is loop timed (Figures 4-5, 4-7, and 4-8).

The ACS-160 system provides several internal functions that assist in testing and troubleshooting, which the next sections describe. 6.3.1 T1 Loopback Use (LPBK Group) The LPBK group activates and deactivates these three T1 loopbacks which the CM-5RB module provides: Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
6.3.1.2 Loopback State Review and Change To review or change the loopback state on a CM-5RB module, perform these steps: 1. Press up or down on the GROUP switch to display the LPBK group. Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
2. Press down on the SET/NEXT switch to display the BLNK group contents. If there is more than one BLNK group item, press down on the SET/NEXT switch repeatedly to cycle through the items. 3. To leave the BLNK group, press up or down on the GROUP switch. Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...

12. Remove the loopback of the DI-B CM-5RB module by removing the patch cord or deactivating the equipment loopback. 13. At this point you can perform end-to-end tests on channels established between any two locations that have already been tested. The individual channel module manuals give recommended test procedures. 6-12 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
A CM-5RB module has two pairs of bantam jacks (T1 IN and T1 OUT) to provide test access to the T1 input and output signals. Each pair consists of one equipment (EQUIP) and one monitor (MON) jack (Figure 6-5). Figure 6-5. T1 Test Jacks Harris Corporation 6-13 Intraplex Products...
However, frame bit error monitoring cannot usually identify problems causing very low error rates. ● Check with your service provider to determine what level of error performance is guaranteed on your T1 circuit. Compare that level with your actual test results. 6-14 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
Figure 6-8 shows a typical end-to-end data channel test. If the data channel module at location 2 has an internal loopback capability, activate that loopback to perform the test. If it does not, use a loopback plug connected to the module adapter for that module. Harris Corporation 6-15 Intraplex Products...

Figure 6-10 shows that you can perform local loopback tests on individual channel modules before putting a multiplexer into service by activating its equipment loopback or by establishing a local loopback using a T1 patch cord. You can only perform loopback tests on full-duplex 4-wire voice and data channels. 6-16 Harris Corporation Intraplex Products...
