(HCDS) over a single copper pair. HiGain systems support a multitude of network connections and system
models.
•The service is deployed over one unconditioned, non-loaded copper pair.
•With HiGain, conventional, inline DS1 repeaters are no longer required.
•Cable pair conditioning, pair separation, and bridged tap removal are not re quir ed.
Each loop has no more than 35 dB of loss at 196 kHz, with driving and terminating impedances of 135
general, HiGain systems:
•Operate effectively in the same cable binder group with other HDSL2 lines, HDSL, DS1, ADSL, SDSL,
POTS, Digital Data Service (DDS), and other transmission schemes.
•Can be used with customers requiring DS1 service on a temporary or permanent basis.
•Provide a means of quickly deploying service in advance of fiber optic transmission systems.

Installation 152-388-100-02, Issue 2
VERIFICATION
Once the H2TU-C-388 List 1 is installed, verify that it is operating properly. To do this, monitor the following:
•Status LED
•Status messages reported by the front-panel display (see Table 2 on page 5)
Verification without a Downstream Device
If there is no downstream device installed:
1Verify that the H2TU-C powers up. The front-panel display illuminates and reports status messages. (See
Table 2 on page 5 for a list of messages.)
2Verify that the H2TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). Even
if a downstream device is not present, the following events should occur:
aThe front-panel display reports various four-character status messages.
bThe H2TU-C again attempts communication with downstream devices until a downstream device is
detected.
Verification with a Downstream Device
If a downstream device has been installed:
1Verify that the H2TU-C powers up. (The front-panel display illuminates and reports various status messages.)
2Verify that the H2TU-C attempts to communicate with downstream devices (status LED flashes red). One of
the following occurs:
•If downstream devices are successfully identified and the HDSL2 loo p synchronizes, the H2TU-C status
LED lights steady green. The H2TU-C reports normal margin messages on the fron t- pane l di splay.
•If downstream devices are not successfully identified, the H2TU-C reports four-character status
messages. The H2TU-C attempts communication again and reports fo ur-character status messages. The
H2TU-C repeats this cycle until a downstream device is detected.
3Verify that the remote unit synchronizes normally. The H2TU-C status LED should light a steady green, and
the front-panel display should report normal margin messages.
4Verify that a valid DS1 sig nal has been applied to the H2TU-C and the H2TU-R.
•If no DS1 signal is being applied to either the H2TU-C or the H2TU-R inputs, then the appropriate DS1
alarms (LLOS or RLOS) are observed on the front-panel display, and the status LED flashes red.
•If a valid DS1 signal is being supplied to the H2TU-C and H2TU-R, then DS1 alarm indications should
be absent and the status LED should be a steady green.
8June 6, 200 0 H2TU-C-388 Li st 1
152-388-100-02, Issue 2Provisioning
PROVISIONING
There are two provisioning methods:
•Use the MODE and SEL buttons on the front panel of the H2TU-C to:
–Set system options
–Reset the H2TU-C to its factory default settings for system options

•Use a maintenance terminal (VT100 terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) connected to the
H2TU-C craft port (or to an HMU craft port) to access the HiGain HDSL2 maintenance screens (Figure 3 on
page 12). This gives you full access to all H2TU-C status, history, inventory, and provisioning screens.
No dip switches or jumpers are required to provision the H2TU-C-388 List 1 as it contains a
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) which stores the s ystem option settings. System op tion settings are
retained if shelf power is lost or if the H2TU-C-388 List 1 is unplugged.
USINGTHE MODE AND SEL BUTTONS
Setting Options through MODE and SEL
To provision the H2TU-C-388 List 1 through the MODE and SEL buttons on the front panel:
1Press the MODE button for 1 second and then release it. The front panel display alternately shows the first
system parameter and its current setting.
2Press the SEL butt on to step thr oug h all possible settings of the selected parameter.
3After the desir ed setting has been selected, press the MODE button. This updates the current displayed
parameter to the selected setting, then advances to the next configurable parameter. After the last parameter
has been selected, a CONF NO message appears on the front-panel display.
4Do one of the following:
•To cancel the session without saving the requested parameter changes, press the MODE button or do
nothing. (After 30 seconds, the display returns to its normal mode without saving the new changes. )
•To accept the requested parameter ch anges, p res s the SEL butto n. ( A CONFYES message displays, and
the display returns to its normal mode after saving the new changes.)

•Line code of the signal received from the DSX-1
•All user-configured parameter settings
•Loop attenuation threshold setting
•Margin alarm threshold setting
Loopback Modes
See “Loopb ack Operation” on page 39 for instructions on using the MODE and SEL buttons to activ ate loopbacks.
USINGA MAINTENANCE TERMINAL
Connecting to a Maintenance Terminal
A miniature, 3-pin, 210 Bantam-type jack on the front panel serves as a craft port and allows connection between
the HiGain Line Unit and a maintenance terminal (ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program).
A 210-to-DB-9 adapter is provided with every unit to facilitate the use of standard RS-232, DB-9 cables (see
Figure 29 on page 51). Once connected to a maintenance terminal, you can access the maintenance, provisioning,
and performance screens.
To connect to a maintenance terminal:
1Insert the 210-to-DB9 adapter into the RS-232 jack on H2TU-C-3 88 front panel.
2Connect an RS-232 cable to the adapter.
3Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the maintenance terminal.
4Start a terminal emulation program such as ProComm (emulating a VT100 terminal).

DISPrevents a remote DS1 LOS condi tion at the input to the H2TU-R from

ALRM RLOS message displays. The LOS is sent towards the network from
the H2TU-C instead of AIS.
HDSL2 BER Threshold (HBER) Option. The HBER option permits monitoring of loop integrity and
reporting of alarms when excessive errors are detected. The PM primitive used for this purpose is the CRC
checksum performed on the HDSL2 f rame for bo th directions of transmission. It is, therefore, called a block er ror
rate rather than the bit error rate associated with the DS1 interface. The CRC errors and counts display on the
Monitor screen for both the H2TU-C and H2TU-R. The HBER option allows an alarm to be generated if the total
number of CRCs at either the H2TU-C or H2TU-R exceeds the selected BER threshold during the last 1-minute
interval.
•HBER option = 1E-6. Alarm is generated if CRC > 92
•HBER option = 1E-7. Alarm is generated if CRC > 9
Once initiated, the HBER count clears when the CRC count drops below the selected threshold. Selecting NONE
inhibits this alarm.
DS1 Line Coding (DS1) Option. The DS1 line code option should always be set to conform to the type of
DS1 service (AMI or B8ZS) being provided by the HiGain system. The Auto mode, which can adapt to either
AMI or B8ZS, should only be used in applications that require it (such as when HiGain acts as a standby circuit
to DS1 circuits whose line codes are not known or may be both AMI and B8ZS). This is because the Auto mode
induces one BPV in the DS1 bit stream whenever it switches from AMI to B8ZS. The Auto mode allows both the
H2TU-C and the H2TU-R to set its DS1 output code to that which is being received at the distant end DS1 input.
This forces the input and the output codes in each direction of transmission to be identical.
H2TU-C Equalization (EQL) Option. Equalization is the configuration of s ystem transmission characteristics
within specified limits. An adaptive equalizer inserts a frequency-shaped loss that corresponds to an equivalent
addition of an appropriate cable length. By simulating the additional cable loss necessary for correct operation,
the equalizer compensates for a range of variation in transmission path characteristics.
Bipolar Violation Transparency (BPVT) Option. The HiGain Line Unit improves compatibility with
Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) feeder applications because of its ability to transmit DS1 BPV occurrences between
its DS1 interfaces. This feature is required to support protection switching in DLC applications. Each DLC
terminal must be able to monitor the integrity of its Receive DS1 payload and then switch to the protect line when
the integrity of the path drops below specific user selected limits. An essential requirement of this feature is th e
need for each DLC terminal to detect BPVs in its DS1 input. Standard HDSL systems correct DS1 BPVs at the
input and therefore prevent them from being detected by the DLC terminals to which they are connected. The
HiGain Line Unit and its associated remote units remove this limitation and become BPV transparent by detecting
and counting input BPVs at each end and then by replicating them at the DS1 output port of the distant end.
The BPV count is converted into BPVs at the distant end during the following second at a rate of 1 BPV every

TESTING
This section provides information about front-panel system alarms, LOS and AIS response, OCT55 test
procedure, and loopback testing.
FRONT-PANEL SYSTEM ALARMS
Table 14 summarizes all possible HiGain system alarms in order of priority as they appear on the front panel.
When multiple alarms occur, the front-panel display only reports the highest priority alarm. The alarm history
screens display alarms also, but provide greater detail. See “Using the Performance Screens to View Alarm Data”
on page 30. All alarms that are not inhibited will drive the front-panel Status LED to a flashing red alarm state.

Alarm Option for DLC Feed
To improve HiGain compatibility with the switch-to-protect features used in DLC feeder applications, the
H2TU-C-388 List 1 has an Alarm Pattern (ALMP) option that allows you to select either an AIS or LOS DS1
output payload for the following alarms:
•LOSW on any loop
•LOS DS1
Retiring System Alarms
To retire a system alarm, press the SEL button to execute an Alarm Cutoff (ACO). An ACO turns the alarm off
and replaces the ALRM message with an ACO message. The second part of the ALRM message, which defines the
cause of the alarm, remains. Both parts of the message remain until the alarm condition clears or another higher
priority alarm occurs.

LOOPBACK OPERATION
HiGain has a family of loopback options for analyzing circuit functionality. The loopback signal is transmitted
and returned to the sending device for comparison. This allows you to verify the integrity of the HDSL2 channels
to the H2TU-C, the H2TU-C DSX-1 interface, and the DS1 channels to the customer . Loo pback option s include:
•Generic Loopback (GNLB) options, including the SmartJack (SMJK) option (see Table 15 on page 40)
•Special Loopback (SPLB) options (see “Special Loopback Commands” on page 41) and the following
command tables:
–Addressable Repeater Loopback commands: A1LB, A2LB, A5LB (see Table 16 on page 45)
–Addressable Repeater Loopback commands: A3LB, A4LB (see Table 17 on page 47)
Loopback commands can be initiated by:
•Selecting the loopback type using the MODE and SEL buttons on the H2TU-C front panel (or the Manual
Loopback button on the H2TU-R)
•Selecting the loopback type from the Monitor Menu when connected to the craft port of the H2TU-C or
H2TU-R
•Entering the loopback code (exceptions are COLB, DxLB, and RULB) into the test equipment connected to
the H2TU-C or H2TU-R
HiGain supports multiple loopbacks, but a single loopback is the preferred method.
Generic Loopback Commands
The HiGain Generic Loopback (GNLB) commands allow you to use inband codes to loop up either NLOC
(4-in-7) or NREM (3-in-7) towards the network. In addition, these inband codes loop up CREM (6-in-7) or CLOC
(5-in-7) towards the customer. Either loopup condition can be terminated (looped down) with the 3-in-5, SMJK
loopdown code. All inband codes must be present for at least 5 seco nds before the HiGain system responds. TLOS
is a logic loopback caused by loss of the DS1 input from the CI.
Figure 26 summarizes the available loopbacks in the system, and Table 15 on page 40 summarizes the HiGain
generic loopback commands. See “GNLB Test Procedures” on page 43 for the test procedures that apply when
using the GN LB mode.

HiGain systems feature the SmartJack option which can emulate a Network Interface Device
(NID) for the purpose of loopback testing of the HiGain circuit. SMJK and NREM loopbacks
perform the same functions, but their initiation differs. SMJK indicates that the loopback was
initiated by the 2-in-5 inband command. NREM, on the other hand, is initiated by the 3-in-7
inband command or by a command issued from the maintenance terminal or the MODE and SEL
buttons.
Use the inband commands to enable or disable the SMJK loopback options. The H2TU-C-388
system setting is normally enabled to recognize all inband SmartJack loopback commands.

152-388-100-02, Issue 2Testing
Special Loopback Commands
In addition to the GNLB loopback command mode, a HiGain system can be configured for one of five special
loopback command modes. These are s elected from the maintenance terminal System Settings screen (see Table 5
on page 17) or by using the MODE and SEL buttons (see Figure 2 7 on page 44). Once a loopback mode is
activated, other loopback commands can be sent by a test set connected to the craft port of the H2TU-C or
H2TU-R (see Table 16 on page 45 and Table 17 on page 47 for list of SPLB commands).
A1LB through A5LB are five special, addressable, repeater loopback modes which are supported by the
H2TU-C-388 List 1. These loopback modes provide the HiGain system with sophisticated maintenance and
troubleshooting tools. A1LB, A2LB, and A5LB are patterned after the Teltrend addressable DS1 repeater
loopbacks. A3LB and A4LB are patterned af ter the Wescom addr essable DS1 repeater loopbacks . All five SPLBs
have been enhanced to handle the specific requirements of the following HiGain customers:
•A1LB (Teltrend) = Southwestern Bell
•A2LB (Teltrend) = Southwestern Bell
•A3LB (Wescom) = New England Telephone
•A4LB (Wescom Mod 1) = New York Telephone
•A5LB (Teltrend Mod 1) = Southern New England Telephone (SNET), Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell
The A1LB loopback selection complies with that proposed for HDSL2 systems in the T1E1.4/92 recommendation
with the following additions:
•Query loopback
•IOR (Intelligent Office Repeater) powerdown
•Four loopback time-out choices
•Initiation from either end
•Repeating bit error signatures
•Alternate query loopback
These additions make A1LB identical to A2LB. A1LB is given a separate identity to allow future DS1/E1
enhancements to be added without affecting A2LB.
A5LB differs from A2LB in that A5LB does not block the arming code from exiting the H2TU-C-388 into the
network. A1LB and A2LB can be configured to do one of the following:
•Block the arming code (after 2 seconds) from exiting the H2TU-C into the network, and replace it with the
AIS code.
•Unblock the AIS code by executing the Far-End Activate code. (Since A5LB never blocks the arming code
from exiting the H2TU-C, the Far-End Activate code is not available in A5LB.)
A3LB differs from A4LB in that A3LB supports the additional (1-in-6) SMJK loopback command.

Manual Loopback Session
A manual loopback session allows you to select any one of the HiGain loopbacks listed in Table 15 on page 40
with the exception of SmartJack loopbacks, which can only be issued by inband commands.
Setting the Loopback Time-out Option
Before initiating a loopback session, verify that the Loopback Time-out parameter is set to the desired settin g.
1Use the MODE and SEL buttons as described in “Setting Options through MODE and SEL” on page 9.
(The Loopback Time-out parameter is also user-selectable from the System Settings screen when using a
maintenance terminal.)
2Select the desir e d se tting:
•NONE (time-out disabled)
•20 minutes
•60 minutes (default setting)
•120 minutes
Activating Manual Loopback Mode
With the exception of SmartJack, any of the Hi Gain loopbacks can be exec uted using the M ODE
and SEL buttons.
When executing a manual loopback session using the MODE and SEL buttons:
•The next loopback option can be displayed by pressing the MODE button, however, the
previously activated loopback remains active until the SEL button is pressed, which
activates the new loopback.
•If neither button is pressed for a period of 30 seconds and no loopback is in effect, the
manual loopback session terminates and the display returns to normal mode.
•If any loopback is in e ffect, the 30-second time-out is inhib ited . The ac tive loop back and the
manual loopback session continue until the loopb ack times out in acc ordance with the LBTO
setting.
•If there is an active loopback, pressing the MODE and SEL buttons for 3 or more seconds
terminates any active lo opba ck, ends the manual loop back s ess ion, and returns the display
to normal mode.
To initiate a manual loopback session:
1Press both the MODE and SEL buttons on the front panel for at least 5 seconds. The following message
appears on the front-panel display:
MAN LPBK NLO?
2Press SEL to activate NLOC. The display changes to MAN LPBK NLOC.
3Press MODE to advance to the next available loopback:
•NRE? = NREM
•CRE? = CREM
•CLO? = CLOC
•COL? = dual loopback at H2TU-C.
•RUL? = dual loopback at H2TU-R.
42June 6, 2000 H2TU-C-388 List 1
152-388-100-02, Issue 2Testing
4Press SEL to activate the selected loopback. The previous loopback is terminated.
Once a loopback is selected and activated, the loopback stays active until it times out (based on the LBTO setting).
When a loopback times out, the display then returns to the normal display mode.
You can terminate loopbacks manually and exit the MAN LPBK mode by simultaneously pressing the MODE and
SEL buttons for 3 or more seconds. If no loopback is active, the MAN LPBK mode automatically terminates after
30 seconds.
All loopbacks (except dual loopbacks) can be in itiated by inban d comman ds in th e DS1 payload . Lo op backs can
also be initiated by a command from the HiGain system (front-panel buttons or maintenance screen selections).
Therefore, whenever a loopback is active, the method by which it was activated is indicated in the Loopback and
Status screens by the annotation HG or PL adjacent to the id entified loopback. For exam ple, NREM-HG indicates
that the loopback was initiated by the HiGain system.
SMJK loopback commands ar e only activated by in band commands. Dua l loopback comman ds
are only activated by the front-panel buttons or maintenance screen selections.
LOOPBACK TEST PROCEDURES
The following sections provide step-by- step test p roced ures fo r ver ifying the integ rity of the HDSL2 channels at
every module location as well as the DS1 channels to the customer and the local DSX-1 interface.
General Troubleshooting Tips
If trouble is encountered on the DSX-1 interface of the H2TU-C-388, verify that the:
•H2TU-C is making a positive connection with its mounting-asse m bly ( sh e lf ) connecto r.
•H2TU-C internal equalizer is set to the correct distance range per Table 5 on page 17. All equalizers should
be set to the distance from the DSX-1 to the shelf.
The transmit and receive DSX-1 ports have splitting access jacks and miniature, 210-series, monitor jacks as
shown in Figure 1 on page 3. Connecting one cable between the two monitoring jacks and another between the
two LINE jacks splits the IN and OUT and creates metallic loopbacks towards both the DSX-1 and the
H2TU-C-388. If separate plugs are inserted into both LINE jacks with the other end disconnected, the MON jacks
can be used to send and receive test patterns towards the DSX-1.
GNLB Test Procedures
Figure 27 on page 44 is a graphical representation of the various loopback configurations with the associated
GNLB commands shown. Also, refer to Table 15 on page 40 for a description of these commands.
To perform the GNLB loopback test procedure:
1Have the CO tester send the NREM (3-in-7) inband loopup code for 5 seconds. You should be able to observe
the NREM message on the front-panel display. (Th e Status LED o n the fr ont pa nel sh ould be gr een, an d the
loopback mode should also be identified on the Span Status screen.)
2Have the CO tester transmit a DS1 test signal towards the H2TU-C-388 and verify that the returned (looped)
signal to the test set is error-free.
3If step 2 fail s, hav e the CO tester transmit the 3-in-5 inband loopdown code.
H2TU-C-388 List 1June 6, 2000 43
Testing 152-388-100-02, Issue 2
4Have the CO tester send the NLOC (4-in-7) inband loopup for 5 seconds. You should be able to observe the
NLOC message on the front-panel display. (The Status LED on the front panel should be yellow, and the
loopback mode should also be identified on the Span Status screen.)

A1LB, A2LB, and A5LB Test Procedures
Using the codes listed in Table 16, a network tester can activate NLOC, NRG or NREM loopbacks (or SMJK, if
enabled). A tester at the customer premises can activate C LOC, CRG, or CREM loop backs. All loopbacks shown
in Table 16 can also be initiated from the H2TU-C-388 front-panel MODE and SEL buttons (see “Setting Options
through MODE and SEL” on page 9).

(a) The leftmost bit arrives first in all sequences. The detection algorithm functions reliably with a random 10-3 BER on the facility.
The entire arming and loopback sequence can also be initiated at the remote H2TU-R location.
(b) The H2TU-R identifies CREM (and the H2TU-C identifies NLOC) with 231 bit errors, including the frame bits. When framed
data is being sent in the Auto framing mode, the number of the 231 bit errors detected by the test set varies from 229 to 231,
depending on whether or not the test set counts frame errors as bit errors and on the number of frame bits contained in the
block of 231 error bits. The H2TU-R and H2TU-C generate this bit pattern in a series of discontinuous bursts containing 20-bit
errors each, including frame bits. Those test sets that do not count frame error bits as data bit errors will indicate fewer bits
than the H2TU-R and H2TU-C transmit for a CI and NI loopback.
(c) Sending the Far-End NI Activate code is not required in A5LB because it is always activated.
(d) The IOR Power Down code must remain present for the duration of the powerdown mode. When this code is removed, the
HiGain system returns to its normal unlooped and unarmed state.

To perform the A1LB, A2LB, and the A5LB test procedures:
1Send the inband Arming and NI LPBK code 11000 to the H2TU-C-388 for at least 5 seconds.
2Monitor the output of the H2TU-C-388 for the return of the pattern. Return of the pattern indicates one of the
following:
•the H2TU-R has looped up (if the SMJK Loopback option is enabled)
•an external NID has looped up ( if the SMJK Loopback option is disabled), and the H2TU-C and H2TU-R
have been armed.
3Verify, if possible, that the H2TU-R Loopback LED is either flashing yellow at 4 times per second (indicating
that the system is armed), or is a steady yellow (indicating that it is both armed and in SMJK loopback). The
H2TU-C Status LED also flashes yellow when the system is armed.
If the Arming code is not returned after 5 seconds, the system may be armed but there is no
active loopback.
H2TU-C-388 List 1June 6, 2000 45
Testing 152-388-100-02, Issue 2
4Once armed, the H2TU-C-388 can be looped back by sending Intelligent Office Repeater (IOR) LPBK
activation code 1101-0011-1101-0011 (D3D3) for at least 5 seconds. You should observe the following
activation response pattern in the order presented:
a2 seconds of AIS (all ones patt ern)
b2 seconds of ret urning data pattern
cLogic errors (including the frame bit) occurring in the returned pattern comprising:
–231 errors, if IOR LPBK (H2TU-C-388) was sent
–20 errors, if ILR-2 (H2TU-R) was sent
dnormal looped data
This error pattern repeats every 20 seconds as long as the IOR loopback pattern is being sent. This also applies
to ILR, Time-out Override, and Query commands.
The H2TU-C is now in logic loopback if the IOR NLOC loopback command was sent. The Time-out
Override command or a Loopdown comman d can override the selection mad e for the loopback time- out (see
“Setting the Loopback Time-out Option” on page 42). If the Time-out Override code 1101-0101-1101 -0110
(D5D6) is received after activating a loopback, then the automatic timed expiration of the loopback is
inhibited. If this Time-out Override is sent, then the only way to loop the H2TU-C-388 down is to do one of
the following:
•issue the Intelligent Repeater (IR) loopdown (LPDN) code 1001-0011-1001-0011 (9393)
•issue the NI LPDN and Disarm inband code 11100 or the ESF-DL code (FF24).
The Time-out Override function is only valid for the current active loopback. The automatic
time-out timer is restored during subsequent loopback sessions.
5Once the test is complete, do one of the following:
•If the system is to loop down but remain Armed, send the IR LPDN code.
•If all the equipment is to be looped down, disarmed, and returned to normal operation, send the disarm
inband code 11100 or the ESF-DL code (FF24).
The Armed mode has an automatic time-out of 60 minutes but this timer is reset to 60 for any
of the following events:
•Loopback terminates (manua lly or time-out)
•Query
•Alternate query
•Far End activate
•Another ARM command
This timer is inhibited while any of the valid command codes are being sent. Once the codes
are removed, the timer restarts at 60.

A3LB and A4LB Test Procedures
The H2TU-C-388 can be looped back by sending the Ad dressable Office R epeater (AOR) LPBK activation cod e
1111-1111-0001-1110 (FF1E) for at least 5 seconds . This cause s the H2TU-C-38 8 to enter the NLOC state. The
Loopback Time-out setting (see “Setting the Loopback Time-out Option” on page 42) determines the duration of
this loopback unless it is overridden by the reception of a s econd identical 16-bit loopup command before the timer
expires. When this time-out override state exists, the only way to loop the H2TU-C-388 down is to issue one of
the three loopdown commands listed in Table 17. The automatic time-out mode is restored during subsequent
loopback sessions.
Table 17 summarizes the codes required to execute Addressable 3 (A3LB) and Addressable 4 (A4LB) repeater
loopback commands. All code sequences must be present for at least 5 seconds.

POWER CONSUMPTION
The maximum power consumption and heat dissipation dep ends up on the type o f rem ote un its in the system an d
the CPE power setting.
The three most important power parameters of an H2TU-C are its maximum power consumption, its maximum
power dissi pation and its maximum current drain.
The maximum power dissipation measures the power that is converted into heat that builds up within the unit. It
contributes to the total heat generated in the space around the unit. It is used to determine the maximum number
of fully loaded shelves per bay that does not exceed the maximum allowable power dissipation density in
watts per square foot to comply with GR-63.
In COs, the maximum power dissipation for open-faced, natural convection-cooled mountings is limited to
134.7 watts per square foot per GR-63-CORE. The footprint of a standard 28-slot, 23-inch HMS-317 shelf is
7.024 square feet. Therefore, the maximum bay dissipation is limited to 946 watts. Use this lim it and the
parameters in Table 18 to determine the maximum number of H2TU-C circuits that can occupy one CO bay.
This is a worst case situation sinc e it assumes the entire CO is subjected to the ma ximum power
density. More favorable conditions would permit increasing the number of shelves per bay
without jeopardizing the CO thermal integrity.
The thermal loading limitations imposed when using the H2TU-C in a Controlled Environmental Vault (CEV) or
other enclosures are determined by applying its power parameters to the manufacturer's requirements for each
specific housing.
The -48 Vdc power consumption is the maximum total power that the H2TU-C-388 consumes or draws from the
shelf power source. This parameter is needed when the H2TU-C-388 is in a location remote to the CO it is serving.
It determines the battery capacity required to m aintain an 8-hour, standby battery reserve for emergency situations.
Battery capacity, therefore, limits the maximum number of line units which can be installed in a remote enclosure.
Use the data in Table 18 to perform this analysis.
MAXIMUM CURRENT DRAIN
The maximum current drain is the maximum cu rrent drawn from the shelf power supply when it is at its minimum
voltage (-42.5

APPENDIX B - FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
ADC HDSL2 technology provides full-duplex services at standard DS1 rates over copper wires between an
H2TU-C and an H2TU-R, which comprise one HiGain system. HiGain systems use ADC Overlapped PAM
Transmission with Interlocking Spectra (OPTIS) transceiver systems to establish full-duplex, 1.552 kbps data
channels between the H2TU-C-388 List 1 and a remotely located H2TU-R.
Figure 30 shows a block diagram of the H2TU-C-388 List 1. The H2TU-C-388 List 1 receives a 1.544 Mbps
DSX-1 data stream from the DSX-1 digital cross connect interface. The H2TU-C-388 contains a DS1 frame
synchronizer controlled by an 8-bit microprocessor that determines the type of framing on the DS1 stream and
synchronizes to it. The H2TU-C-388 recognizes Superframe (SF), includ ing D4, or Extend ed Super frame ( ESF)
framing.
