In order to accommodate the G.703 data formats commonly used at 1544 kbps (T1) and 2048 kbps (E1), the CIC-50 converter attaches to the rear of the modem at the 25-pin data connector. No external power is required and all settings are made on the CIC-50 using three switches.
3. The 25-pin male D-sub connector includes two captive screws which can be reached by sliding a screwdriver through the holes located at the opposite end of the CIC-50. The only reason for removing the cover is to clearly guide the screwdriver to these captive screws.
G.703 clock recovery circuitry. The recovered clock and data drive into the modem on the TT and SD lines, respectively. Three switches must be set properly on the CIC-50, depending upon the specific G.703 format in use. They can be accessed with a small screwdriver.
CIC-50 T1/E1 G.703 Interface Converter 3.1.2 AMI or HDB3/B8ZS For both T1 and E1 formats, this sets the G.703 output to either the uncoded Alternate Mark Invert (AMI) format, or to the appropriate zero substitution line code used for T1 (B8ZS) or E1 (HDB3).
175 bit times at T1 or 32 bit times at E1, the Loss Of Signal LED will illuminate. This will not activate an alarm on the CDM-550, but the CIC-50 will generate AIS (all ones) data into the modem timed directly off the internal clock reference provided to it.
