User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 3 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS The following sections describe the various configuration options. The operating modes for the NTU are configurable via the V.24 monitor interface on the rear panel as well as from remote LTU (or NTU) via DSL in case of establishing of the link.
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU Rate adaptation is not supported in Dual Pair Mode, so in this mode both system units must be set to the same base rate. E1-Interface (2 Mbit/s G.703 / G.704) The following configuration options refer to the E1 side only and do not affect the xDSL operating mode.
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 3.2.4 AIS Generation If this option is enabled, an unframed AIS (all 1's) will be transmitted on the E1 side, irrespective of whether the system is configured in the transparent or framed mode. AIS generation will be activated on the following conditions: ...

3.4.2 Analog Loop Back To test the Black Box Network Services equipment itself, the Analog Loop Back can be used. To perform this test, the xDSL - cable has to be disconnected from the unit and the test can be activated with the appropriate monitor command (see chapter 'Black Box Network Services Monitor').
G.826 error performance parameters are intended to be used for long-term evaluation of operating xDSL links. Refer also to the “SQ” and “G826” monitor commands described in the “Black Box Network Services Monitor” section. G.826 Performance Monitoring The G.826 error performance parameters provide quantitative performance information of a specific loop.
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 5 ALARMS General This chapter describes a possible implementation for the alarm signalization. LEDs The two NTU LEDs 'far end (FE) status' and 'near end (NE) status' are used to display normal operation condition and alarm condition. Each LED can be green, amber or red when lit according to the following table.
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 5.2.3 Local LED - Alarm Conditions 5.2.3.1 Local (NE) LED An alarm condition is displayed with the Local LED if one of the following conditions occurs: Major alarm (red): Hardware or software failure (blinking) ...
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 6 NTU POWER CONCEPT Each NTU is fed via the power supply Molex connector on the rear panel with 48 VDC. The NTU converts these voltages to its onboard supply with its DC/DC converter. In case of a failure of the NTU's onboard power supply, all LEDs on the front-panel will be extinguished.
Configuration management Accounting management Security management As Black Box Network Services does not support accounting management AM is not in the monitor's main menu. At any time, the <H> (“Help”) command shows and explains the available commands and their parameters.
User Manual TELCOLINK DT - AccessDSL NTU 7.2.2 Password protection and access rights There are two access levels to the system: Administrator (username: ADMIN) end User (username: USER). All the commands are available for Administrator while Configuration commands are not accessible by User.
